GERMANS EXPECT DELAY
 IN UTILIZING CANAL

LONDON, July 15.-Experts sent to Panama by a leading German steam ship line which contemplates big devel- opment when the canal is available have reported. the World correspond ent learns, that in their opinion large ocean-going liners will not be able to pass through that waterway for an- other five years at least.
 They base this opinion on the ire quency of landslides in the Culebra cut, which have been on such a scale recently that the steam shovels are making no progress in that part of the work It is probable, the experts ad- init. that next January, if not sooner, several torpedo boats will be sent through by the United States govern ment. Indeed it is said that the cut ting is deep enough now to allow small vessel to go through, but there apparently is no assurance of perma- nency.

JOHN SETTER WAS
JUNEAU PIONEER
-n-O-

John Setter, the pioneer gardener of Juneau who died Monday and was buried yesterday. was one of the real old time prospectors of the country. He came to America from England and followed prospecting since 1876.
 Deceased was 6S years of age at the time of his death. Eighteen years ago he settled on the land which has been his home ever since. It lies near the city cemetery and was held under lode and placer locations. Some of the land has been the cause of litigation with the City of Juneau. For many years he cultivated part of the land as a vegetable garden.
 The funeral was held from the par Iors of the c. w Young company un- der the direction of F. G. Wettrick and Lloyd c. Hill, who had been his close friends for years. The Rev. George E. Renison made the funeral address.
 Lloyd c. Hill was associated with deceased as partner in the mineral locations and will make application to be appointed administrator of the estate.

SUCCESSFUL BIG GAME
 HUNTERS RETURN
-O-O-

James Morris and Mrs Morris re- turned with the cruising launch San ta Rita, which they have had under charter during the several weeks hunt ing and fishing on Admiralty island and down about Snettisham. They had splendid success and a jolly good time while out. The trophies taken include five big bear and six mountain goat. All of which are in prime con- dition. Many more could have been taken, but they had all they cared for. Trolling for king salmon furnish ed pleasurable sport during a part of their stay while out.
 Mrs. Morris killed half of the ami mals taken and amazed the guides by shooting an eagle at 300 yards while in moving launch. She also sur prised them by picking a goat at 800 yards while standing on a narrow ledge and in a perilous position. Both shots were remarkable exhibitions of cleverness with the rife.

WILL FIGHT UNTIL TIRED
HARRINGTON IS
 BURIED TODAY
-o-o

The funeral of James Harrington, who met his death in the Sheep creek explosion, was held from the Catholic church at ten o'clock this morning. Rev. Father E. H. Brown performed the rites of the Church. The funeral was attended by many of his fellow workers and others.
 James Harrington was a native of Ireland between 25 and 30 years of age and came to America about nine years ago. He came North and had been working at the Sheep creek tun- nel about one month. Con Sullivan, one of his fellow workers, was well acquainted with him, and speaks of him in the highest terms. He was a good miner and a good man. Deceased was single and has a mother and fath- CT living in Ireland.
 A battle is being waged to save the sight of Stanley Vuryer, one of the victims of the accident. The left eye is lost, but there is a chance to save the right one.
 Victor Vanstrom, with two broken legs, and James Miclen, with a brok- en arm, will have slow recoveries, but they are getting along all right.
 All of the others are making excel lent progress toward recovery. One of them left the hospital last night and returned to Sheep creek. Another was we'll enough to walk down to the post office this morning. Another, who could not hear a sound when brought to the hospital yesterday, has had his hearing restored to it's normal state today. It will be only a matter Of a few days until the remaining seven will all be out of the hospital

For a quarter of century George Stevenson had charge of the railroad lobby at Olympia. He was elected to the legislature, when a young man, from Skamania County, the smallest in the State. as a Democrat. His ac- curate judgment, tact in getting along with men, ability to remember faces and names, conservative tendencies, industry, knowledge of when to talk and to whom, and, according to his standards, honesty put him to the fore front in the legislature, and early in his legislative career he became the house manager for the railroads and allied interests. Later, he quit the legislature, and took personal charge of the legislative end of the Northern Pacific's work, receiving a handsome salary and dispensing their political money. He was present at all political conventions, Republican and Demo- cratic, although he now affiliated with the Republicans, and, when the legis- lature convened. opened headquarters at Olympia where he made Temple Flats"-the name of the apartment house where he usually had his head quartes-famous in the Northwest.

ALASKA TIMBER
 FOR PAPER PULP
O-O

The United States Forest Service has issued the following bulletin:
 WASHINGTON, July 3.-Bids have just been received by the Forest Ser vice for 300 million feet of timber which has been advertised for sale on the TOngass National Forest in Alas ka, and an additional 300 million feet from the same forest has been applied for A large part of this timber is Sit ka spruce, which will be made into paper pulp not only for the Pacific Coast and the Orient, but for the gen. eral pulp market.
 The latest estimates of the Forest Service available show that there is a stand of approximately 70 billion feet on the Tongass national forest and ap- proximately 2S billion feet on the Gnu zach national forest in Alaska. Re- cent investigations have shown this amount to be very much larger than was supposed. The Alaskan forests, according to bureau experts, contain approximately one-sixth of the total stand of timber on the national for ests. The annual cut on the Tongass forest has increased gradually from zero at its creation in 1902 until it amounted to approximately 43 million feet in the year 1912. This entire amount has been cut for local uses, largely for boxes to contain canned salmon. The latest large sale is re- markable in that it indicates a begin ming of the utilization of Alaska tim Der in the general markets.
 On the area on the Stikine river, for which bids have been received, the species to be cut include Sitka spruce, hemlock, red cedar, cottonwood, and yellow cedar, and the minimum stump age rates range from $2.50 to $1.00 a thousand feet, according to species, the yellow cedar bringing the highest price. Another pulp company has made application for the other area, at the head of Thorn Arm, which con tains the same species to be sold at similar prices. This company has had men examining timberlands in Alaska during long period and over large areas, and has come to the conclusion that the Tongass timber offers the best opportunity it has seen.
 The three great advantages which the paper manufacturers say they are finding in Alaska are abundant sup plies of timber, cheap hydro-electric power, and tide-water transportation all of these in one and the same To- cality. Both areas adjoin deep water, and it is probable that the plants will be so located that ocean freighters can be loaded right at the mills.
 A cutting period of twenty years will be allowed, with two years addi- Itional for construction work The prices may be adjusted at five-year intervals to take care of possible ad- vances in lumber values.
