HEAD OF WORKHOUSE
FOR FOUR YEARS NOW
Plant Has Developed Into Model
Institution Under Supt.
w. n. Whitaker.

William H. Whitaker, superintendent
of the District workhouse at Occoquan,
celebrated the fourth anniversary of his
assumption of the duties of the position
yesterday. Supt. Whitaker came to
Washington to take up his duties June
80, 1910
At that time the workhouse site was
forest. with a makeshift stockade and
clubhouse for the accommodation of
prisoners, two or three board shanties
in which the executive work of the in
stitution was carried on, and only the
beginnings of a system of roads, etc,
over the big tract. An apology for a
wharf stood on the bank of Occoquan
creek, and all supplies, as well as the
incoming prisoners, were brought up the
crew from the High bridge station by
boat.
In the four years that have elapsed
since Supt Whitaker took charge of
the institution commodious and COM
Portable buildings have been erected on
the high plateau above the creek, roads
have been built to every point of the
big tract. an adequate water supply has
been provided, with a filtration plant
and system of mains extending to all
buildings, and nearly 1,co0 head of live
stock has been purchased for the farm
Access to the institution row is by bus
from Lorton. good road having been
built the entire distance from the work
house to the railway station.
Within another four years, Supt. Whit
taker believes, the workhouse and farm
will he practically self-supporting, pro-
ducing grain and hay for forage for
the live stock, meat and vegetables for
the prisoners, and manufactured articles
which. when sold, will furnish ample
funds for the purchase of clothing and
other supplies.
Supt Whitaker spent the greater
part of today in trying to hurry action
on the coal contract for the new fiscal
year.
I'VE have just about enough coal to
last one day he said. Without coal
we can't pump water or operate machln-

CUTTER BEAR LEADS ALL
OTHER VESSELS TO NOME
Arrival of Fleet From Seattle Al
ways an Event in Alaskan
Metropolis.

Beating into port the little steamer Cor
win. which claims as her usual annual
feat 1.-The first steamer into Nome" the
revenue cutter Bear this year broke the
ice and arrived in the harbor of the
Alaska metropolis at 1880 o clock on the
morning of June l. The Corwin came
alongside forty minutes later
The Corwin was formerly revenue cut
ter but discarded as too small for the
necessities of the service. Light of draft,
she has been able to make her way
through lanes of ice along shore. beating
in the other steamers out of Seattle that
come up to Nome with the opening of the
season.
The arrival of the fleet is a great occa-
sion in Nome. There are seven or eight
vessels that leave Seattle about the same
time, bringing food and other supplies.
The revenue cutter carries the mail and
other supplies. Then there are passen-
gers strangers to be observed and dis
cussed and estimated. and old acGua int
ances to make a fuss over.
The port is closed from October until
early in June nearly every year. Mail is
brought to Nome by sledge team. as long
as the snow going is good overland. Dur
ing pril and May, however. the snow be-
comes too soft for Shedding, and there is
no mail. They are the loneiiest months
of the lonely months of the year.
So when the first vessel of the fleet is
sighted after a watch of days, all Nome
gathers on the shore. The Bear, coming
in, could not make the shore, but was
compelled to tie to the ice well out. Two
passengers, Mrs. Esmond. wife of the
post physician at St. Paul, and a Mr.
Fehse, with the frst-class mail. were
landed, and carried by dog sled over the
ice to shore.
The rest of the mail was not landed un-
til the next day. A lead opening i'll the
ice, the Bear edged her way in and an
chored off the city. She disposed then of
the rest of the mail, and also missionary
supplies that she carried.
Starting to get away directly afterward,
the Bear found her departure prevented
by ice She was fast bound until June 4,
when she made her way out to open
water. This is reported by Capt. c. S.
Cochran to the headquarters of the reve-
nue. cutter service here.
