The steamer Dora, which sailed
from Seattle the night of the 18th,
was passed on the '.inside passage"
by the steamer Alameda She is
on her way to Seward to resume the
her regular run to the Westward
having been undergrowing repairs
at Seattle as the result of her ground
ing on the Seward beach last winter.
The Dora is again under command
of her old master, Capt. C. B. Nc
Mullen, who has with him A. B.
Mellick as first officer; C. L. Gull
version, her old purser and A. l..
Holcomb, who as far back as the
memory of old Alaskans serves has
acted as the vessels chief engineer.
These four mariners recently ar
rived in Seattle on the steamer Diri-
go, which took the place of the Dora
for the past two months on the I'm
alaska run. This run is famous as
the most northerly regular steam
ship run in the world. The four
men gladly returned to the Dora.
Though the Dirigo possesses higher
engine power and larger quarters.
they prefer their berths on the
smaller vessel.

After spending many hours and
days discussing needed changes in
the fisheries law, the Legislature
at Juneau hhs come to the conclu-
sion that it has no power in the
matter. Some of the members
have takn that attitude and Senator
tor Willard sught more light on the
subjct from U. S. Senator Nelson :.
He received the follwing answer;
your telegram of yesterday was
received late last night. | called
at the Department of Justice and
was referred to the Assistant At
torney General who has charge of
Alaska matters. He concurred in
the view l took of the matter, that
is, that you have no right to pass
such legislation as that referred to
in your telegram. 1t seems to me
that the law is explicit and clear
on the subject: you can neither
amend or repeal or add to the
game, fish and fur seal laws passed
by Congress. l enclose you a
copy of the act.
THE Assistant Attorney General
further informed me of which l was
aware before. that his department
can render no formal or written
opinion in the premises except at
the request of the President or the
head of one of the Departments. ="

Blackburn April 23-The trails
are fast breaking up in this part of
the country. and it is a race be-
tween some of the operators and the
tail end of their freight and the sun !.
However the greater bulk of the
freight landed at Mccarthy station
this season for the NiZina Dan and
Mccarthy creek operators, has been
hauled to its destination. George
Max Esterly, with his usual luck,
has all of his freight safely across
the Nizina river, although he was
one of the last to arrive. He plays
the time limit on the season each
spring. but always manages to get
his freight in, although most of the
weather prophets shake their heads
and call it luck.
Building continues in the embryo
town of Blackburn. Gus Carlson
is putting up large log building,
and it is claimed Harry Thisted OF
Cordova will soon occupy it with a
store and pool and reading room
Tim Cronin has rented the Funk
building and is applying for liquor
license.
Business is somewhat quiet in
Blackburn justnow as most of the
operators have their freight moved
and a number of people from here
are attending court IN Coriova.
