Douglas Island news., 1913-02-19

The report of the committee on ex- penditures in the department of com. merce and labor, in connection with tue Pribilov island seal, is document clearly tinged with partisanship and desire to besmirch former and present public officials. It is doubtful, to say the least, whether the charges made therein are all susceptible of proof says the Seattle P.-I. But some things brought out in it do serve to throw light on the causes for the rapid dim- mutton of the seal berd For example, it is probably quite true that the com panies which successively held the leases of the islands, and in the interest of which practically all of the legisla- tion on the subject of fur seal was framed, did in fact slaughter female seal and young, instead of merely the matured "bachelor" seal, to the taking of which they were limited under their lease. The leasing companies, through the active press bureaus which they al- ways maintained, spread broadcast the story that the diminution of the seal herd was caused entirely through the taking of seal on the high seas by the hunters who went out in schooners, originally from Puget sound and later from Canada and from Japan. AS a fact, the main grievance of the leasing companies against pelagic sealers was that they broke the monopoly which the companies had in the production and sale of fur seal skins. Drastic legislation was had, at the instance of these leasing companies, to drive the pelagic sealer out of business, while permitting the companies themselves to continue their practice of butchering the seal at their rookeries while help less on shore. Whatever else has been accomplished by the investigation, it has at least brought facts to light to warrant a continuance of the present policy of forbidding any further killing of seal on the breeding islands for a considerable term of years.

The Juneau Daily Empire is very anxious that Alaska political jobs shyuId be filled by good Alaska demo: crats. It says there are enough demo- crats in Alaska to fill all the federal offices without importing single democratic carpet bagger. And it wishes to emphasize the statement in the strongest possible manner, so that it may be understood of all men-es pecially Alaskans-be their .political affiliations what they may, that this is not, with The Empire, matter of in dividual choice, selection or preference, but matter of living principle, for which it will continue to fight until Alaska shall have a government of Alaskans, by Alaskans and for Alas kans

Marine Mishaps in 1912

From Railway and Marine News, which prints a complete list of the casualties to Pacific coast shipping, we gather that the terrors of Northern waters have not been great during that time.
 During the months of January and February there were no accidents to the boats blowing Alaska waters, but in March the steamer Bertha went ashore, bruising fifteen feet of her keel forward and losing 70 feet of her shoe.
 In April the cod fishing schooner Joseph Russ was wrecked on Chirikof island, southeast of Kodiak, and was a total loss. In May the Santa Ana went ashore, damaging 65 feet of her keel, five blanks and bilge keel; U. $. lighthouse tender Armeria wrecked off Cape Hinchin brook and was total loss. In July the Mariposa damaged her pro- pellor landing at Latouche; the steamer Edith was ashore at Nome, was in col lision with the tug Meteor, and her bow damaged by ice; the Northland stranded at Petersburg; the steamer Delhi was ashore at Ketchikan, and the steamer Jeanie was ashore at Nakat cannery.
 During the month of August the steamer City of Seattle stranded near Ketchikan; steamer Mariposa ran into the dock at Valdez and remained stuck in the mud for some time; and the steamer Bertha stranded in Gastineau channel, tearing off p feet of her shoe,
 In Septem Der the steamer Northland stranded in Tongass narrows; the Santa Ana struck bottom at San Alberta bay, Prince of Wales island, and damaged 50 feet of her shoe; and the steamer Elihu Thomson was ashore at Ketchi. kan.
 Some time in November the whaling steamer Tyee, Jr., had several plates and frames bent in collision with a sperm whale; and the gas cannery ten der Oakland was wrecked at Yakutat
 In November the German steamer Verona stranded near Unalaska.
 In Decembe the steamer Dora went ashore ht Seward, was foated, badly damaged; and the steamer Latouche was run into by the Mariposa.

A dozen or more years ago, Joe Mul- doon. a well known musher, in com pany with Dell Cowan, of Skagway, were prospecting iu the Kluane coun- try, says the Alaskan. The dogs were getting hungry and the prospectors wanted fresh meat, so they made for the mountain tops in search of wild goats. On reaching the summit of one of the hills on the west end of Kluane lake, they spied bunch of what was supposed to be mountain goats. Dell remained on watch and Muldoon flanked the herd and soon shot two of them. When the two men reached the dead animals they discovered that they were ibexes. A few days later they killed two more of the same species. Mir. Cowan maintains that they were the true Alpine ibex.

Grade Crossing Hearing is
on This Afternoon

Especial from Staff Correspondent
Trenton, June 17:-When the
hearing on the City of Perth Amboy's
petition for the elimination of dan
gerous grade crossings in that place
was started shortly after 2 o'clock
this afternoon before the Public Util-
ity Commission, Samuel j. Mason,
engineer of that city, presented maps
and sketches showing how the rail-
road tracks could be depressed to re-
lieve the situation. Counsel for the
various railroads mentioned in the
petition were present and 1t is be-
lieved they will begin their attack
on the proceedings at once.
The hearing was scheduled for IL
O'Clock this morning, but as the Perth
Amboy delegation did not arrive
until 1880 o'clock announcement
was made that it was off until this
afternoon. Mayor Ferd. Garretson,
City Attorney c. c. Hommann, Law
yer James S. Wight, and G. NJ.
Wagner, of the EVENING NEWS,
were the only Perth Amboy people
noticed in the room besides Engineer
Mason when the hearing began.

City VIII Ask the Board of
FreehoIders to Build Long
Deferred Structure.
DELEGATION AT MEETING
Members ofMsstern Improve
mont Association Have Some
Plain Words With Aldermen.

With the belief that the county
may erect a bridge over the Lehigh
Valley railroad tracks in the western
section of the city for the extension
or Convery Place, the Council last
night voted to form a committee of
the whole and go before the Board
of F'reeholders relative to the sub
Ject. This action followed another
appeal from members of the Western
Improvement Association to push the
proposition. They again spoke about
the long delay concerning the exten-
sion and asked for more efficient
street sprinkling in the northwestern
section.
Martin Momberg and Adolph H.
Koyen were the principal spokesmen
for the delegation, which numbered
about thirty. They rehearsed the
history of the proposition and de-
clared 1t appeared that really moth
Ing had been done towards erection
OF bridge to make the extension.
Mr.. Koyen desired to know what in
fluence must be brought to bear to
cause action. Various members of
the Western Improvement Associa-
informed by Messrs. Sandbeck and
Hilker that the last step taken had
left the subject In the hands of City
Attorney Hommann. The aldermen
said a proposition was under way to
have the railroad company bear q
large portion of the expense of q
bridge there. The delegation stated
they did not like to ear that the
matter was still saddIed upon the
shoulders of the city attorney. They
urged the aldermen to take some i'm
mediate and definite action.
Mr.. Wilson volunteered a motion
to have the city clerk write to the
Board of Freeholders relative to hav-
ing the county erect the bridge. This
led to more discussion. The motion
was not seconded. Mr.. Clark took a
slam at Mr.. Seaman, declaring that
as 1T was customary to knock con-
stituents, he would consider the mat
ter was up to the chairman of the
committee on streets and sewers.
Alderman Wilson later took Sen
mans part, and contended it was too
big matter to be up to that COM
mittee, but considered it was in the
hands of the whole board.
Messrs. Kutcher and Sandbeck de-
Tended an attack by one visitor that
they had appeared to have done very
little with regard to the extension
of Convery place for the fourth and
sixth wards, respectively. Mr.. Sand
beck said the subject was last left in
the hands OF the city attorney. He
made motion to employ special
counsel to hurry it along, contending
Mr.. Hommann was too busy and
furthermore his pay of SIS a month
hardly paid carfare for his work.
The other aldermen did not approve
of that course and the motion was
lost.
Mr.. Kutcher suggested that the
street committee or the entire board
go before the freeholders at their
next meeting. They they, upon
motion, decided to do.
