Capt. c. c. Lutjens, one of the best known of the old time sea otter hunters on the Alaska peninsula, died at Nush- agak June l5. Capt. Lutjens had amassed fortune killing sea otter in the early days, and since the otter have been protected has engaged in the fish, ing business.
 The Seward Commercial Club has received from Stangneth and Johnson samples of tanned shark skins and two samples of shark liver oil. The skins and oil are the product of the experi- mental refinery located down the bay about eight miles from Seward. The pToprietors have been working this season with limited equipment, and their output for the year will be be- tween fifty and one hundred barrels of oil. Even at this rate, considering the price of one dollar per gallon that the oil brings on the outside market and a price of 40 cents per square foot for the tanned leather, they will make better than wages. The oil is sent outside and further refined and then placed on the market as cod liver oil, or in it's crude condition is used largely by tan- neries. The leather is valuable in up holstering and in the manufacture of grips, trunks, etc.
 Valdez.-A stampede is on from here to secure the townsite at the newly dis covered pass to Turnagain arm. The discoverers aseert it is only a four hours walk from the head of the arm at Portage bay, Prince William sound, to the Alaska Northern railway ter minus near Turnagain arm. This route is free from glaciers, and would avoid the summits by short tunnel. Michael Sullivan, with the Copper River & Northwestern railway; Henry DeyO, engineer with the Alaska railway com mission; Col. O'Neill, of Fort Liscum, local capitalists and attorneys are racing to make the first locations of the townsite covering the entrance to the pass. Every launch in the vicinity of Valdez is engaged in the race. The new route shortens the outlet for the Matanuska coal fields by seventy miles and avoids grades. It is asserted there is an excellent harbor at the new town site.
 She's the queerest passenger boat afoat; her comforts are crude and few; she's little and old and her speed is slow, but she's manned by fearless crew. She carries the mail, the fuel and food, and furs and fish she brings back; she links the great world with each lonely town between Seward and Nushagak and the fishing stations on the lighthouses on that rock.strewn, fog bound shore. She's the only one that can make the run for thousands of miles and more. She's battered and blackened by cruel storms, she's hin- dered by fog and tideS but she breasts the gale under steam and sail and through Shelikof straits she rides where ashes rain down from the smok- ing peaks and seas o'er her decks are hurled. She follows the coast through Unimak pass, the stormiest trip in the world. She has cheered more hearts and she has saved more lives than any Alaskan boat; then here's to the dear est, the safest, the queerest, the staunchest old steamship aAoat.-Isabel Ambler Gilman, in Seward Galloway.

 pr. Brooks says there are at least 1000 acres of coal in the Matanuska field, and it is probably much more. This amount has been definitely meas ured. The field will be completely mapped this summer. The coal, Dr. Brooks says, is mostly high grade, but in places it is badly crushed and fault ed. Owing to the folding it is impos sibIe to get an accurate idea of the tom mage.
 A Cordova dispatch say that parties returning from the interior report stampede of considerable size to the new strike of rich placer ground on the Shushana river. Nearly every mine in the Copper country has lost part of it's crew, who have hiked for the new dig gings. Many prospectors and residents af the various camps have hit the trail with all speed to reach the ground be- fore it is all taken.
 Things are not looking so bright in Washington for the enactment of law authorizing the construction of Alaska railroads as they did few weeks ago. There are a lot of congressman desir ing appropriations for their own dis tricts, in fact, most all of them do, so they are not enthusiastic over voting appropriations for a part of the nation which has no vote and but little inhu ence in national politics.--Ex.
 The quarterly report of the Alaska insane for the quarter ending June 30, 1913, has been received by the gover- nor's office from the Sanitarium Co.,, Portland, Ore., which has the contract for the care of the insane of Alaska. During the quarter there were two deaths. Wilhelm Anderson died on May 4 of pulmonary tuberculosis, and Fred Bramer on June 9 of exhaustion. Six patients were discharged as re- covered and three as improved; one of the latter was Samuel A. Bonnifeld' formerly president of the First Ma tional bank of Fairbanks, who was pa roled to his relatives under bond on June 26 and taken to St. Louis, Mis- souri. During the quarter ending June 3Oth nine patients were received. The number of patients remaining under care July let was 173, of whom 149 were males and 24 were females.

There is a striking similarity be- tween the Fairbanks controversy over school affairs and that which is agitat- ing the people of Nome at the present time. In the one case the friends of one of the employees of the city are fighting to retain her as member of the teaching staff, against the judgment of the school board; in the other case the fight is directed against the reten- tion of teacher who has the support of the board. In both csses the con- troversies have engendered more bitter feeling than the circumstances seem to warrant, and the mild interest display ed by the public at the outset IS being supplanted rapidly by feeling of re- sentiment against the warning factions
 J. D. Leedy, Nome miner and part ner of Rex Beach, the author, recently arrived at Seattle. He joined Rex Beach in mining deals in Nome in 1900 and they have been partners ever since. Mir. Leedy criticises his partners late writings. "LateIy Rex's stories don't seem to show the Beach of old. The ginger is not there. 1 have been writing Beach lately and telling him to let the humor flow more copionsly in his writings. It is the gingery stories that the public absorb" Mir. Leedy is credited with having lifted Beach on the path that led him to his present success. In 1900 at Nome, after joining the famous author, be observed that Beach showed literary talent and urged him to write story and send it to an Eastern magazine. "It took a long time for him to conclude to send a story away" said Mir. Leedy. "But after his first story was accepted he wrote voluminously."
 "It is easier to take gold out of the pockets of tourists than to take it out of the ground" is the opinion of w. H. Robinson, of the Robinson Roders con pauy of Newark, N. J., who spent a couple of days iu Skagway before leav- ing for the grand tour of Alaska this morning, says the Alaskan. MT. Rob- inson was in the Lyric theatre in New ark a few days ago, when the weather was SO hot that he nearly wilted. Dur ing the play a moving picture hlm showed the winter trail and the ice bergs of Alaska; it appealed to him and he packed up the next day and came here, intending to go to Nome and there charter boat and there visit Si- beria and a number of points along Alaska-Arctic coast. On his way through the North he will endeavor to establish agencies for eiderdown, which is becoming rare in Alaska, and which is all shipped to Europe and from there back to America again. He will pro- vide market for the Alaska product in Newark instead of importing it from Europe. Mir. Robinson recently re- turned from visit to Switzerland and other lands of scenic interest. He re- marked that half the population of those countries could not exist on the hills and wild places were it not for the tourists who bring their wealth to chem. The sam0 might be true of Alas ka, which has all of the European scenery discounted. h his opinion Skagway is destined to be ono of the greatest tourist headquarters in the world at no distant date.
