"NIGGER JIM" PRAISES
 SEWARD PLACERS

SEWARD, April 3-"T have been en- gagged in prospecting and mining since early manhood" said "Nigger Jim" Dougherty who recently arrived in this city but I never before struck colors in every pan until went to the Kenai river country. l defy any man to take a pan of dirt from the banks of the river and fail to find colors."
 "Nigger Jim" Dougherty is one of the historic figures of the early days of the Klondike. He made a comfor- table stake in that camp. The nick name which he bears was given to him because he is from the Sunny South" and talks with a dialect pc. culiar to that country.
 When he reached Seward the oth- CT day, after passing the winter in the Kenai river country, he looked like a patriarch or one of the twelve dis ciples. A flowing beard hid his usu- ally smooth-shaven features from view, and as he walked around town few knew him.

VALDEZ, April 7.-Charles Sealey, who. with Jim Davis. has had a lease on the Sealey-Davis Mining company, arrived in town today, bringing the news that the lead which they have been following is now carrying rich values and that they will increase the force of men working on the claims as soon as possible.
 The lessees have been following the lead for 2l5 feet and while it carried values they were not satisfied and continued work and have now sue ceeded in striking the lead carrying the rich values in the Cliff mine. that it adjoins. The tunnel driven gives a depth of so feet and it is now plann- ed to drop lower down the hill and start another tunnel to tap the lead at a greater depth. The lead is 32 inches wide and has been followed for some distance since the breaking into the higher values.

POINDEXTER ACTS
 WITH DEMOCRATS

Senator PoindeXter, of Washington, is regarded by the Democrats of the Senate as an ally upon whom they can rely in case of emergency grow ing out of disaffection in their own ranks, and particularly in the consid- eration of the tariff at the special ses- sion. Whether there is any tacit un- derstanding between Poindexter and the Democratic leaders is not known. but Democrats generally believe full ly that they will have the. cooperation of the junior Senator from Washing ton on much legislation.
 Though elected as a Republican, Senator Poindexter has renounced the partyand stands forth as the only member of the Senate who is neither Democrat nor Republican. He is pure Bull Moose. Independent of both the old parties, he finds himself far more in harmony with Democrats than with Republicans. This was recognized by the Democratic caucus, for, while the Republican caucus gave to Poindex- ter all the committees he had in the last Congress, the Democratic caucus gave him the chairmanship of one of the minority committees, that on ex- penditure in the War Department. Poindexter was the only Senator, oth- CT than a Democrat, who received any consideration at the hands of the Democratic caucus-Washington cor respondence in Portland oregonian.

LEGISLATURE TO
 VISIT SlTKA

The members of the legislature are planning a week end excursion to Sit ka. Alaska's ancient capital and the oldest white settlement in the whole northwest It is proposed that the Georgia will leave here with the leg islators Friday night, and return with them in time to permit them to be present at the opening of the session for next Monday.
 The plans for the excursion are be- ing worked out by Representative Ar thur c. Shoup. the member from Sit ka.
 If the excursion is made the mem- bers will only lose Saturday, and that is a day on which no other legislative body in the West thinks of working, except at the very end of the session. It is the universal custom at Olympia, Salem and Sacramento for the legisla- ture to adjourn Friday to meet again on the following Monday.
 Most of the members of the legisla- ture have never seen Sitka though they learned to name it as the capital of Alaska when in the primary geog- raphy grades at school in the long ago. and thus it got fixed place in their minds. The ancient town is now more than a decade in excess of a century old, it is the oldest settlement on the American Pacific. It was here that the Americans took possession of Alaska and where American settlers of the territory first landed It was the capital for third of century af- ter the American occupation. All these things whetted the desire of the members of the legislature to visit the city. and resulted in the definite plans that are maturing for Fridays trip. They will spend whole day there

FISH mi m
 salmon are getting scarcer Reds have practically disappeared in some sections of Southeastern Alaska. There seems to be no doubt but that the supply of salmon of all kinds is becoming depleted in Alaskan waters. Hatcheries may be a success but no proof exists that they are in this sec tiou of the country. Increased output is owing to increasing number of traps and cauueries not to increase in number of rish-gin nets are bad. Purse seins operate about the same as traps except that they do not work all the time and cost more to operate. Any kind of gear will exterminate the salmon if the waters are fshed hard enough. Gamers every season put up fish not good to eat, because taken too late in the season, and because taken to close to the spawning ground.
 These are some Of the ideas brought out at last nights session of the legislative joint committee hearings on the fish question. Cannerymen and fishermen both made statements and all agree that some restrictions must be placed on the fishing industry or the industry will disappear.
 J. R. Heckman is one of the most widely known men in the country en- gagged in the fish canning business. He is interested in several canneries and is the inventor of the floating trap. Mir Heckman has been engaged in the fishing business for many years and is perhaps one or the best au- thorities on salmon fisheries in Alas. ka. He is operating a hatchery.
 Mir. Heckman is a believer in the trap. To the charge that it destroys fish he replies that he has not lost a

WILSON TO BE
 LEGISLATIVE FACTOR

WASHINGTON, April S.-Gossip of few days ago that it was the inten- tion of the president to keep in con stant touch with congress- even to the extent of visiting members of the senate and house at the capitol when legislation begins to reach the rormulative stage became an assured fact yesterday, when he read his mes sage to Congress in person.
 The extra session of the siXty-third congress will find Mir Wilson ire quently in the presidents room at the capitol where he will be accessible to members of both houses.
 In adopting this plan Mir. Wilson is merely following program that he found of great value to him as gover- nor of New Jersey in expedting the public business and in obtaining legis- lation framed along lines which he himself approved Care was taken to point out at the White House, how ever, that these visits would be made in friendly spirit of cooperation, and that Mir. Wilson would consult with both Democrats and Republicans on the progress of legislation.
 President Wilson has always held to the view that he was elected as the party leader. and that he, more than any other man in the party would be charged by the people with the responsibility of seeing that the party's pledges were carried out. This can be done most efficiently as the party leader by visiting the capitol, and despite the fact that this will be an innovation at which many will wag their heads in disapproval, the Presi- dent will do as he deems best and take an active personal interest in legisla- tive affairs.
