WINDHAM BAY MEN
 FIGHT WITH A BEAR

WINDHAM, Sept. 29.-While pack. ing down from Pup creek, a tributary of Shuch, Mir. George Sutton and Ali. Huffman were attacked by a black bear. As they did not have a gun, the situation was very serious for a few moments. Mir. Sutton had a very heavy walking stick. with which he beat the bear back. She had cubs, which were feeding on the bank of the river. The men tried to back out when they saw the bear, but she was after them before they could get very far away.
 The launch FavOrite came in last evening with a hunting party aboard. They agree that Windham offers the best duck hunting they have seen in Alaska.
 C. W. Fries will be a passenger on the HcGg tonight.
 lrr. Rowe expects to start for Ju- neau on his launch Cohoe tomorrow. D. W. Yates and Jim Hansen will ac- company him. Mir. Hansen will re- main in Juneau, aRd MT. Yates will return hero with Mir. Rowe Mrs. Rowe will be Q guest of Mrs. Yates while Mir. Rowe is away.

PROGRAM HERE TO
 BE CARRIED OUT

Col. D. c. Jackllng, vice president and managing director of the Alaska Gastineau Mining company, who ar. rived in Juneau on the Northwestern yesterday, is making the trip of in- spectlon that he started out to make on the eve of the outbreak of the European war when he was com pelled to turn back on account of pressing need of his presence else where. "All of our copper properties are working on half time." he said last night, land we will continue to so along that way if possible until things get better" Speaking of Juneau, he said: We will go ahead here accord. ing to schedule and get the first unit of the ore reduction plant running early next year."
 We might do more under more op- ulent circumstances, but We can't de- termine just when conditions will war rant larger undertakings. When such time does come a further development will likely be lnaugurated here. It all depends on how conditions shape themselves. Just now the disposition is to wait patiently.
 Every human being, whether civil ized or savage, will be made to suffer in some manner through the great Flu ropean war said Col. Jackling, "at present no one can forsee the end" he continued, "or what the sum total of its effect on the world will be. It is unprecedented and there is no basis on which to predict results.
 we can be certain that it will take long time to reproduce the wealth that has been destroyed and that there will be some changes in the geogra- phy of the world both politically and commercially.
 "The feeling among those who have guided the financial destiny of this country is that we in America at least have passed the crisis and there is a disposition to believe that things are shaping toward a readjustment that will bring normal conditions once more. do not believe that the stock exchange will open until those who are looking to the welfare of Ameri- can securities and industries believe 1t is safe. No one can say when this will be-"
 Col. Jackling said that he believed that when normal conditions were re- established that gold producing min ing propositions would be attractive to investors-more attractive perhaps than anything selse in the investment line on account of the demand for gold and the stability of its value.

SALMON PACK
 3,OOO,OOO CASES

According to the estimates of can merry men engaged in the business in Alaska the total salmon pack for all Alaska for the season of 1914 will ex- ccCd three million cases and be dis tributed from the different sections of the Territory about as the foregoing statement indicates.
 While Southeastern Alaska will fur nish nearly half of the total it is very probable that the Boring sea pack will be more valuable on account of it being 90 per cent. choice reds which bring a higher price in the market.
 The run was much better than last year except in the southern end of the Southeastern Alaska district and the run of reds was better in all sections. Another favorable circumstance for the canncry men is that there are signs of a very material increase in prices. Nearly all those engaged in the business arc satisfied with the seasons work and the prospect of marketing tho product ct q profit.
 The Boring sea pack consists of the output of the great plants on Bristol bay principally, and the product is all first grade and 90 per cent. choice reds.
 Central Alaska's pack includes the Chlgnik. Kodiak. Cook Inlet. and Cop per river sections.
 The pack of Southeastern Alaska in- cludes everything from Yakutat south and cast to the Canadian boundary.
 The percentage of reds taken in Gen. tral and Southeastern Alaska is great. CT this season than at any time with in the past three of four years.

September was a little dryer than August, according to the report of Weather Observer Cunningham R. Reid. but even at that there were no fears entertained about a drouth. The total rainfall for the month was 1O.94 inches as against 9.54 in August-but there were four clear days in Septem- Der while August had but one golden sunshiny day. In September there were IS cloudy days, s partly cloudy, and % rainy days. The warmest day registered temperature of 62 de grees. on September r.

ALASKANS OPPOSE
 JOHNSON'S BILL

SEATTLE, Sept. 26.-That the wild caters of Alaska are endeavoring to "slip one across" at Washington is the opinion of q number of Northern CTS who have reached the city within the past week. A bill has been intro duced which provides for an exemp- tion from assessment work on all min ing claims in Alaska for the year 1914. The measure has been referred to Clay Tallman, commissioner of the general land office, for endorsement. Tall man has refused to approve it until he can hear what the people of Alas ka have to say about it. The reasons urged for the passage of the bill that the war has affected financial conditions.
 "Financial conditions in the United States have nothing whatever to do with the performance of assessment work in Alaska" said Elwood Bruner, member of the Alaska Territorial Sen ate last night. "The claims as gen eral rule are owned by individuals, except in a few rare instances where large blocks of land have been ac- quired by syndicates and are not be- ing developed. The miners and pros pect~rs are willing to do their assess ment work as required by law, and if spectators want to hold claims in AL aska, they should be prepared to meet the same conditions. Otherwise they shoull turn the ground over to some body who is willing to develop it."
 Naskans generally contend that their territory is just as prosperous to- day as it ever has been. A respite from assessment work was granted by Congress for the Nome district last year, but that was because of ter rife storm which devastated the city and swept away hundreds of miners cabins. In Nome many of the claim owners work for wages all summer and buy a winters outfit with the pro- cecds of their labor. The storm oc- cured in October. just as a number of miners were getting ready to leave for the fields to do their assessment work. Their belongings were washed away and hundreds of them were com. pelled to come to Seattle for the win ter.

AIaskans Opposed to the Bill

Every Alaskan I know is opposed to the bill" said Maurice D. Leehey, who is attorney for many operators in the territory 'T can give the names of a dozen men now here who are Op. erating in various sections of the ter. ritory, and they all say there is no demand for any such relief.
 "The trouble up there has been there are too many men who have been holding claims year after year and dodging assessment work in one way and another. doing just as little as possible. The last Territorial Leg islaurc made this plan of holding a little more difficult by passing a law which requires them to record proof of the assessment work and prescribcs in detail just what the affidavit must state. giving tho number of days, work the dates and places where the work was done and the amount actually paid. A person who makes a false statement in the affidavit, is declared guilty of perjury. It is made a peni' tentiary offcnse.
 "This demand proceeds from men outside of Alaska and not from the people in the territory. The people who live up there want the work done They do not believe that men are en titled to hold claims and tie up the country without doing something each year in the way of development work to demonstrate their good faith.
 There are too many people outside of Alaska who will not develop their claims and want to hold them with just as little expense as possible. For instance, there are a lot of association placer claims of 16O acres each. Here tofore such a claim could be held for only s1OO assessment work each year Claims located since 1912 will be for feited unless $1OO worth of assessment work is done on each twenty acres and proofs properly recorded.
 Tf Commissioner Tallman with holds his approval of the proposed law until it is endorsed by the people of Alaska, predict that he will never endorse it. I hope the measure will not pass. The bona fide mining men of Alaska, who are in good faith try ing to develop their property, have practically done their assessment work for this year.
 Many of the claims are in places where they would not hear of the pas sage of the law before Christmas and the law, if passed now, would simply favor men on the outside and a lot of persons who are trying to hold on to more ground than they are willing to develop"
 "We have not asked for a remis sion of assessment work and never will" said Senator Bruner. Tt was for the very purpose of preventing this game of flim.flam that the Alas ka Legislature last year amended the mining laws affecting assessment work.
 "We. in Alaska, think it about time that both political parties should con cIude to stand by their platforms ant grant to Alaska full measure of ter ritorial government. Alaska, so far al it's internal affairs are concerned, on ly wishes to be let alone until it doe something bad, when Congress has tn bower to set 1t aside. We certainl, bitterly resent the rider tackled on t the coal leasing bill now before tn
