from experience that 1t can

it. Squeeze the water out of

VICTOR HUGO IN EXILE.
And the Attic Room In Which He
Wrote His Masterpiece.

And the Attic Room In Which He
Wrote His Masterpiece.
A graphic description of visit to
Victor Hugo in Guernsey and of his
quaint home there is given by the late
Sir William Butler in his autobiogra-
ply:
"Of the many curious things to be
seen in Hauteville house the masters
sleeping room was the strangest. He
had built it on the roof between two
great blocks of chimneys. You as
cended to his workshop bedroom by
stairs which somewhat resembled a
ladder. Quite half of the room was
glass, and the view from it was mag
nifcent. The isles of Jethou and SarSz
were in the middle distance, and be-
yond lay many a mile of the Norman
coast. Attorney lay to the north, and
beyond it one saw the gliStening win
dows of the triple lighthouses of the
Casquet rocks and still more to the
right the high ridges overlooking Cher
bourg. The bed was small camp
bedstead, with a table on one side Of
IL anu d SIldl4 uGSh SACoL Va Via w CT .
on the other, with pens. ink and paper
always within reach.
"Near the bed stood a small stove,
which he lighted himself every morn
ing and on which he prepared his cafe
au lait; then work began at the large
table which stood in the glass alcove
a few feet from the foot of the bed.
This work went on till it was time to
dress and descend to dejeuner in the
room on the ground floor already de-
scribed. AS the sheets of writing pa
per were finished they were number
ed and dropped on the floor, to be
picked up, arranged and put away in
the drawer desk at the end of the
mornings labor. He called the writ
ing table his carpenters bench and
the leaves which fell from it his shaw
ings.'
"It was at this table and in this airy
attic that most of the great work of
his later life was done. Here were
written Les Miserables,' Les Travel
leurs de la Mer' and many volumes of
poetry"

-O-U-O Running the longest Strsicht

Running the longest straight line boundary in the world, between Alaska and Canada, has practically been completed. It measures from beginning to end exactly 1,507 miles, and runs as straight as the crow flies from Mt. St. Elias directly north, over moving glaciers and some of the highest mountains in the world, to the Arctic Ocean. It took several years labor of 75 men to accomplish the task. It cost the United States government in round figures $75O,00O, with the Canadian government contributing like amount, the cost of the whole work amounting to s1,500,O00.
 The end of the work has been in the placing of the monuments in the neighborhood of Logan glacier which is near Mt. St. Elias. D. w.. Eaton and A. c. Baldwin have been in charge of this task, each aided by a crew of experienced men. MT. Eaton has returned to McCarthy's where he is awaiting the arrival of MT. Baldwin and his twelve men with their equipment. They will arrive in about two weeks, when they will sell their 22 horses and saddles, which will undoubtedly be purchased by stampeders, bound for the Sushanna gold district. The latter part of the month the mem- bers of the Alaska boundary survey party and eight Canadians will arr rive at Cordova and take the steamer for Seattle. md ltHl ltl

The first decision of the interior on the Boring river dis trict applications handed down since the government passed on the Cum ningham group of claims in June, 1911, was received the other day by Field Agent Christensen at Seattle. It cancels the James War dell group of coal land claims, ad- joining the famous Cunningham group in the KatalIa district and which were located in 1905. This decision by the general land office reverses the report of Register Walker and Receiver Boyle, of the Juneau land office.

Yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock Mir. W. J. Mcdonald and Miss Meldah E. Nettleton were quietly married at the home of the bride. The cere- mony was performed by the Rev. M. E. Koonce, the only witnesses being MT. and Mrs. w. E. Kendrick and Mrs. Koonce. After the wedding a delicious repast was served by Mrs. Kendrick in her home near by.
 Miss Nettleton has been teacher in the public schools here ever since Cordova was establihsed, and has en- deared herself to the children who have come under her instruction and to the public in an unusual way. MT. Mcdonald is one of Cordova's enter prising and popular young men who was formerly engaged in business here but who now holds position in the Forestry service. The many friends of both will unite in wish ing them every happiness.

"It is the history of the mining business that placer mining is an evanescent industry" remarked one of the members of the senate com mittee last month and presented arguments to show why the govern ment should help to develop the re- sources of the territory. Thereupon ceeded to enlighten the senator and all the rest of the senators on the committee, and when he finished there was none so careless as to re- peat the remark about the firefy life of placers. 't
 All MT. Joslin did was to cite the history of the placers in California. The first discoveries of placer gold in California were made more than 60 years ago. Since that time there has not been year in which the California placers have failed to produce a considerable amount of dust. Last year the state produced a total amount of 100000 in gold, a large part of which was placer gold. Of course. this placer gold in California today comes largely from the dredges, but it is nevertheless placer gold.
 In the judgment of MT. Joslin, as he expressed it to the senators, the placer mining industry in Alaska will last a thousand years, the area is so enormous.

 According to the latest govern ment maps the correct name of the Alaskan river which is the scene of the latest gold stampede is Chisana river. It has been sometimes called the Chusana river, and during the latest excitement has been corrupted to Sushanna and Shushanna river. It is one of the principal forks of the Upper Panama and was discovered by Allen in 1885.
 Private advices from Seattle state that Jack Underwood will leave on an early steamer for Cordova to take the train for the interior and push on to the new gold diggings. Jack spent six or seven years in the Seward Peninsula country and is Somewhat familiar with stampedes. He was in Cordova two years ago with Secretary Fisher and his party. His recent book, "An Empire in the Making" giving many interesting facts about Alaska, is meeting with a ready sale.
 l.. H. Smith, who has spent the past six years in Cordova, Chitina and Kennecott, left for the Sushanna on the morning train. He says he has remained for several years past in the country waiting for a chance such as is now presented to strike it rich in a short time.
 Mrs. G. w. Bowman and boys came over from Orca this afternoon and will go south on the Mariposa tonight. As the pack at the canners has been practically put up MT. Bowman will soon follow.
 F. w. Mitchell, special Indian agent, will sail on the Mariposa to- night with half-dozen native chill dren. He will take them to Oregon and place them in the Salem Indian Training school at Chemawa. There are three from Cordova, Albert Will son, Oscar Wilson and a girl named "Fadeda." The others come from the interior.
 Mrs. R. J. Boryer and son, Robert Boryer, Jr., will go to Seattle on the Mariposa tonight. Later they expect to make trip to Pennsylvania, where Mrs. Boryer's mother resides.
 Glen F. Edgerton, member of the Alaska Road Commission came over from Valdez on Saturday night and will leave on Thursdays train for Chitina. There he will meet Col. w. P. Richardson, due to arrive Tuesday or Wednesday,. The colonel is returning from an official visit to Nome where he examined the road work and the new bridge across Nome river. He sailed on the night of July 1S for St. Michael and caught a river boat up to Fairbanks. He is now on his way out over the govern ment road. He does not expect to come to Cordova but will go over the road from Chitina to Valdez.

 DROPPING INTO TOWN

s. B. Waite, who left the city
 n the 31st of July, on the launch Flora with the Chisana diggines as his ultimate destination, returned to town Saturday evening, having de- serted the boat at Salcha. He consid- CTS it very doubtful if the craft ever gets anywhere near the new strike. and this opinion is formed from the tr uble the had in getting as far as Salcha. Should the launch have the good fortune, however, of land ing her cargo somewhere near the desired spot Mr. Waite will go in overland.
 Mr Waite reports the roads in fearful mess from the recent rains. and says that one piece of road near Salcha slid into the river and the Mckinnon road crew were busy re- pairing the damages.

AND LONG SUFFERING.


 The newspapers of Southern Alaska have been quick 10 see the humor in the government sending the Rapid Transit up from the Sound to repair the broken cable. The Rapid Transit has the speed of a salmon scow and the lines of militant suffrasette Her cable splic- ing equipment consists If a Ina rpin and a package of makin's for each member of the crew.
 The Burnside that noble craft which costs Uncle Samuel hun dred thousand dollars year to keep housed in dry dock. when she is needed in the field. is still sleeping in her accustomed place. undergoing her daily, weekly, month ly and yearly manicuring and having cold cream applied to her stern The reason is now clear why ships are always mentioned in the feminine gender. The Burnside is perfect lady when il comes r. paint. spanker gaffs. main braces. backstays. mig zen caps. sheets and sister keelsons. In fact the only thing masculine about the Burnside is her wh:sker boom.
 The government recently refused 70 lower the cable rates because it costs too much 10 keep this dry dock toilet set in bed.
 The latest reports of the Rap i'd Transit is that she will arrive on the scene of the break about ehe time some other portion of the cable has worn in two by the slow processes of erosion. Thus another charge will be made against the Alaska operation and held against the reduction of tells. The people of Alaska are willing to quit talking about better rates. If the government will get our message through at any old rate we will be pacified. The same is true of open ing our coal lands and railroads. At first We wanted private operation. then We were wiling 10 stand for government operation, new any kind of operation will be acceptable We are squelched. browbeaten. humi.at- ed, sandbageed and slugged into in sensibility. and will swallow without murmur anything but conservation and death.- Skagway Alaskan.
