NEW FLOATING CANNERY
is READY FOR DUTY

The floating eannery and cold
storage plant William H. Smith,
built and owned by the Welding &
Independent Fisheries of Seattle, left
Seattle on June for Pleasant Bay,
Southeastern Alaska, where she will
lie at anchor and operate during this
season. The Smith was lowed north
by the halibut steamer Independent
Capt. Andrew Welding, head of the
company, went north with the YES
sci, accompanied by E. B. Dudden,
who will manage the floating can
merry.
The cannery line On the Smith is
capable of putting up $4,000 cases,
but her owners do not aspire to a
pack of that size this year. She is
also capable of handling from 2,O00,-
600 to 100000 pounds of fish in

MANY ARE INJURED
IN ELECTRICAL STORM

FAIRBANKS, June 29.-Several
people were injured and great dam
age was done by a terrific electrical
storm which struck the Tanana val
ley last Wednesday.
Accompanied by binding sheets of
lightning and deafening peals of
thunder, the storm ragged for con-
siderable length of time. AS these
phenomena are rarely experienced in
this section, the storm caused con-
siderable excitement.
Several people in cabins were
struck by lightning, but fortunately
none were seriously hurt. Mrs. Frank
Young, one of the victims, was burn
ed ON the arm and back. The burn
resembles the picture of a tree with
spreading branches.
The electric light plant owned by
the N C. Co. suffered considerably.
Many meters in business houses and
residences were burned out. The
company estimates it's loss at $4,000.
The same day a flood occurred all
along the Tanana river. The Cinema
slough rose with incredible rapidity.
The bridge across to Garden Island
which escaped the ice this spring
was washed out.
Trunks of huge trees and brush
lodged against the piling and in
short time the pressure of the water
caused the piles to snap, carrying the
entire structure down stream.
The scenes of last year were re-
peated when the water flooded a por-
ton of the city, invading property on
Wendell avenue and portion of
Front street along the water front.
Considerable damage was done on
the Valdez trail, especially in the
Richardson district. 1t is estimated
that the damage along the trail will
total $4,000.
The water in town is receding and
within few days it is believed the
slough will be back to its usual stage.

DUEL TO DEATH BETWEEN THREsHER AND WHALE
WITNESSED BY PASSENGERS ON SAMPSON.

thresher was camping right on the
job all the time.
The boat headed almost direct for
the two sea monsters, and as they
came nearer Hegg and Hunt, the two
professional photographers aboard,
unlimbered their cameras. Nearly
everyone else aboard had camera,
but were too excited or interested to
think of them or go after them.
The steamer passed within dozen
rods of the two duelists, so close in
fact that one could see the barna-
cles on the tail of the whale. While
directly opposite, the whale again
shot out of the water almost it's full
length, with the thresher using its
deadly weapon of a fin and an eye
solely to business. People caught
their breath, and others gasped their
surprise and delight.
But unmindful of the spectators
the two denizens of the deep thresh-
ed about, the whale intent only upon
getting away and the thresher grim
ly determined to finish the job. The
whale was seen to sound, and for
a brief space the calm ripping wa
tiers covered all sight of thetragedy.
Then up shot the dark body again,
with that deadly, long, slender fin
threshing about the foaming water.
Somehow the bright, smiling sum
shine, the majesty of mountain peaks
and the beauty of the general land
scape seemed an inharmonious set
ting for the deadly duel being fought
so close at hand. A saddened eX-
preston crept into the faces of many
of the passengers. 1t was grim re-
minder that the deadly struggle for
existence was going on all the time
beneath the waters of the deep as
we'll as on the land.
AS long as the boat was in sight
there was a continual streak of foam
and spray, with the deadly thresher
fin waving in the thick of iC.
"The whale is about all in; the
end is in sight," remarked the pilot.
"Does a whale ever kill a thresh-
er2" asked someone.
'It doesn't stand a ghost of a
show; it's the thresher's fight from
first to last" answered the pilot.
"Well, how did you like the last
number on the program" queried
Captain Jensen later of a group of
professional jobbers and pnnsters
aboard.
They did not have any reply ready.

A duel to the death between a

tragedy of an exciting nature when

spectacle was witnessed by the pas
sengers on the Sampson on its re-
turn trip from Kodiak.
Some of the punsters aboard had
been Raging Captain Jensen about
dizziness of ship life and declared
that it was up to him to furnish
something out of the ordinary. The
wierd sunset and fog effects, the view
of volcano ash waste, the sight of
the dinky gasoline car leaving Sew
ard, and the thousands of sea lions
seen Hopping about Seal Island, were
all an old story. Even the excellent
music in the social hall by three tai
Cnted musicians from Seattle was no
longer such source of attraction as
a, first.
"All right" said Captain Jensen,
in answer to the jokesters; Gin half
an hour or more I will show you
sight you never witnessed before"
And he retired to the sacred pre-
cincts of the pilot house, where no
curious passenger dared follow.
Not long afterward a thrill of ex-
element pervaded the boat. Those
who were admiring the scenery on
the upper deck and thinking thoughts
that did not find expression, but who
nevertheless whispered and said little
"nothings," as we'll as all others in

tween decks. rushed to the rail.

At first only a streak of foam could

NENANA COAL CLAIMANTS
SAY WITHDRAWAL ARBITRARY

The brief and specifications OF err
ror filed by the coal land claimants
of the Healy fork of the Nanana, in
their appeal to the Secretary of the
Interior, have been filed with the
register of the Fairbanks land Of
flee. The declaratory statements
filed by the claimants in connection
with their locations were rejected by
the commissioner of the general land
office on March IL, 1912, and thirty
days after service of the decision was
had on the attorney for the claimants
a notice of appeal was filed. The
brief and specifications of error, now
prepared, are in support of the ap-
peal. 1t is believed that Walter Fish
er, the secretary of the interior, will
make a final decision on the matter
within the next six months.
The claimants question the right
and authority of the executive to
withdraw public lands from entry as
provided in his special proclamation
issued November IL, 1906, at a time
subsequent to the location of the
claims. The right of the executive
to withdraw public lands from entry
The Chitina leader., 1912-07-06

is generally recognized, with the
qualification that the withdrawal act
be made with the special authority
of Congress, and if no such special
authority is given, then only lanus
to be devoted to some public purpose
can be withdrawn. The brief states
that the act of President Roosevelt
in withdrawing the lands from entry
was without statutory provision and
therefore entirely void.
1t is also stated that the action of
tue commissioner in deciding against
the Iocators because of the fact that
the exact direction of the boundary
lines of the claim was not given, was
wrong. 1t is asserted that the ac-
quirement of coal lands was not in
tened by Congress to be made more
difficult than the requirement of any
other mineral lands in the territory,
and that to run the lines of the
claims due north, south, east and
west would have been impossible to
the mining locator, except he were
possessed of limitless funds with
which to pay the expenses of survey
ors.
