He told of the great agricultural pOssibilities-the fruits and flowers and, berries, the wealth of which men are just begin ming to realize.
 Speaking of the Chisana gold strike, he said:
 We do not know what it is going to develop into. Just at present it is rather discouraging. But newspaper reports are premature. It is possible that by next summer it may develop into very rich one. like others which have gone before."

KETCHIKAN MAN
 DIES SUDDENLY

KETCHIKAN, Sept. 9.-While work ing in Thoday's gang on Bawden street shortly after seven o'clock this morn ing Samuel Britt, an old timer of this region fell stricken with heart failure and died as he was being carried to the hospital before medical assistance could reach him. He had been laugh ing and talking with those with whom he was working a moment before he fell and died apparently without pain.
 The only known relative of the dead man known to be in this region is his wife, an invalid. Two nephews, Leon Wood and Cyrus Britt were here earl fer in the season, but returned to their homes near Lopez, Washington, some time ago. Mir Britt was a man well along in years, and had lots of friends in this locality who will learn of his sudden death with regret.
 He was member of the Ketchikan Firemen's band.-Ketchikan Miner.

TRANSPORTATION CHARGES
 WOULD BUILD US A JAIL


When men are convicted of felony in the courts of Alaska, they are sen fenced to serve time in the peniten- tiary at McNeiTs islnad, near Tacoma, Wash, and a U. s. deputy marshal is delegated to take him there. When a poor unfortunate in Alaska becomes mentally deranged- -bughouse-he is consigned to the sanitarium at Morn ingside, near Portland, Ore. As the number of the unfortunates of both classes is by no means small in the great Northland, deputy marshals find these trips to and from the peniten- tiary or the insane asylum, occupy a large part of their time, and We have not yet located a single deputy who likes that part of his job.
 The money that is now being spent in this way by the government would soon build a prison house righ here in Alaska that would be as safe as Sing Sing.-Douglas News.

CHISANA REPORTS
 MORE ENCOURAGING

That reports from the Chisana cOun- try are weekly becoming more encOur- aging is apparent here since a num- Der of local people have returned after visiting the scene of operations. Among those who have lately returned and who may be relied upon for truthful ness and conservatism are Mining En- gineer F. P. Burrell who was on the head of the White river for the Atlas Mining company when news of the Chisana strike reached there and who lost no time in going in. and Simon Fiendel who had accompanied him to White river. Both returned to White horse Sunday and both are enthusias- tic over the new camp Mir. Fiendel with whom the Star reporter conduct ed an interview, said:
 There is no doubt but that the Chi sana will develop into a very heavy producer While I was there l saw a cleanup on No. 3, Bonanza creek, of so ounces after five men had been shOveling in seven hours. The same day I saw another cleanup on Eldora- do creek of 25 ounces from three men working eight hours I met many men whom | knew. several of them from Dawson, and every man who had SC cured ground and who was prospecting it told me the prospects were highly encouraging The only drawback to the country at present is lack of provi- sions. but all who had secured ground were arranging to secure provisions, although many expected to go out for them. -WhitehOrse Star.

Alaska. the Wonderland"
 Choosing this subject for an address last evening at the University Pres byteriOn Church, the Rev. Norman B. Harrison, who has just returned from an extended visit to the land where he formerly served as resident minister. told of the wonders of Alaskas pos sessions her rugged beauties. her marvellous resources and her rowing men.
 The pastor recently arrived from the North on the same vessel with sur yiyors of the ill-fated steamship State of California.
 Seattle has right to be interested in Alaska" he said. For Alaska has been the making of Seattle. I might say that Seattle's shipping interests with Alaska are Seattles largest in teTests. What was once termed as Stewards Folly" is now found to be veritable treasure land of wealth and beauty
