HE COULDN'T HELP IT

The following letter from H. F. Alexander president of the Pacific-Alaska Navigation Co.,, speaks for itself.
 MT. M. A. Mitchell.
 Sec'y, Commercial Club of
 Ketchikan, Alaska.
 My dear MT. Mitchell:
 I regret very much, upon our recent trip to Alaska, various matters prevented our visit ing your thriving city at a seas- onable hour. On this par ticular trip of the Admiral Sampson we had to make Q great many additional stops out to the Westward on account of the accident to the Admiral Evans, and it was necessary for us to return here in time to sail again on June 5th. We had hoped to arrive in Ketchi- kan early in the afternoon or evening, upon our return, but we were i'll very heavy storm off Cape St. Elias, which de- layed us ten or twelve hours, the consequent result being that we arrived in the early morning, as we did north bound. I will say this, how ever, that our entire party, either on our way north on on the way south, got up and went ashore and spent the time the vessel was there in walking around the city and their com ments were very favorable. l also gave them all the informa- ton I could with regard to Ket- chikan and am glad to say that your little city made a very fav- orable impression upon the en- tire party Again expressing my regret of our inability to ac cept your kind hospitality and assuring you of our thorough appreciation of it, believe me.
 Very sincerely yours,
 H. F. ALEXANDER.

FINE MOTOR
 BOAT ARRIVES

The power boat Alma of the Juneau Ferry & Navigation Co. recently constructed in Seattle arrived in port today on her way north to Juneau where she will operate between Juneau, Doug las, Treadwell and Sheep Creek. She is looked upon as being the largest motor passenger boat operating on the Pacific Coast between 93 feet in length 10.6 feet in beam and 9 feet in depth. She has passenger equipment for 125 passengers inside the cabin and as many more outside. Four water tight bulk heads have been built in- to her hull which makes her practically unsuitable. Her fuel tanks are of steel instead of galvanized iron, the engine room is floored with cement and walled with asbestos and all her fuel pipes are carried above the floor, danger from fire thus being reduced to a minimum. The equipment of the Alma includes the most modern of appliances, her power being furnished by two 1o0 h.p. Speedway engines which in trial trips have driven the vessel 12 knots an hour. She has a steam heating and elec- tric light plant and in addition has a second generator connec ted with her engines for stor- ing the batteries while the ves- sel is under way. Capt. Waldo States is in command.

A FAIR WARNING

From Fairbanks, Knik and other places in Alaska a warn ing is sent out that laborers are not needed; that there are ten men for each job, etc. That fact should be given wide pub- licity. With the extensive ad- vertisement given to Alaska, due to the building of the gov crnment railroad, men will rush into the country with highly favored expectation. The inevitable will follow. that is tosay, sore disappointment and possibly hardship for nine tenths of them. If a fair warn ing is given, in the event of disappointment they will have themselves to blame. Peters burg Progressive.

FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY

Riot and bloodshed was nar- rowly averted on the baseball diamond last night when the closing game-a battle royal was fought out between the Hardworkers and the Clerks. The first inning which netted two runs for the Laboring Men and a goose egg for the Rib bon Winders made it look as though the contest was going to be a one sided one and this impression was strengthened in the second stanza when Fin gels team put four men over the home plate to Doc. Walk CTS solitary tally making the score to 1. In the third in- ming, however, Doc. Walker demonstrated that he was a combination of Napoleon and a Ty Cobb when he got both Erickson and Janggen on bases and with a mighty wallop put one out into the slab pile bring ing them both in and eventual : ly scoring himself in a whirl- wind of flying gravel as he slid for the home base on his ear. In the fourth inning the Rough Necks landed two to nothing
 by their competitors and Doc Walkers stock dropped below

CIRCLE CITY FLOOD
 WORST IN HISTORY


 Supplementary reports from Circle City say the flood caus- ed by the breakup of the Yu- kon river recently was the worst in the history of the camp. The town was almost wiped out, all the stores, gov ernment buildings and dwell- ings near the waterfront be- ing damaged by ice. Five feet of water around the wire less tower back of town under mined the foundations and there is danger that it will collapse. The Indian village is entirely under water and ice. No causalties have been report cd from any of the camps a. long the Yukon. The damage is estimated at $25,000.

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY GRAY-FREEMAN WEDDING

The Bryant residence was the scene of very pretty we'd ding last night when Reverend Waggoner united in the bonds of holy matrimony, Walter Gray and Miss Edna Freeman at 9 o'clock. The house was prettily decorated with a pro- fusion of carnations and ferns and the affair as a very happy one. After the ceremony, the wedding guests sat down to a delicious supper. Those pres ent were MT. and Mrs. Bryant, Mir. and Mrs. Petty, MT. and Mrs. Waggoner, MT. and Mrs. Gould, MT. and Mrs. Paup, Mir. and Mrs. Thoday, MT. and Mrs. Lingerfelt, MT. and Mrs. James, Mir. and Mrs. Mahoney, Mrs. Sulzer and son, Miss Webster, Misses Dorthy and Virginia Gould, Messrs. Calhoun and Pryor and Arthur Bryant. The contracting parties are too we'll known in Ketchikan to need any introduction and the en- tire town joins in extending them congratulations and the wishes for long life and hap piness.

KILL OFF THE OVERS

Captain Aannevik, now en- route for the Arctic seas ill command of the trading schooner P. J. Abler, had charge of the walrus hunting schooner Kit last year and dur ;ng his stay in the Arctic learn ,d many interesting things re- garding the Eskimo tribes. 1T noticed that several of our Eskimo hunters had a blue latto mark on their cheeks, md, after much questioning, ] finally found out what it nent," said Captain Aannevik.
 They told me that after an Eskimo family has grown to six persons, the last one i. s.attoed so that other members If the tribe will know that the lead of the family can SUD- port no more, and children born after that are made away with. Old people who have no one to support them and those who are too sick to work are lilled by other members of the
 ribe. We have found that the tskimos around St. Lawrence bay and East Cape have no knowledge of religion what ever. They seem to have no thought of diety, and care 'or nothing except eating and 'leeping. It would be a bless ng if missionaries could be sent into the north and civil ize some of the tribes"

LOOSES BARGE IN
 TURNAGAIN ARM

Gus Seifert, who passed through Seward a few days a. go, enroute to Hope where he is installing a big hydraulic plant on Resurrection Creek, had the misfortune to loose a barge load of hydraulic pipe in Turnagain Arm. The plant had been unloaded on the Bertha at Ship Greek, and was being transported to Hope on barges when the accident took place. The loss of the pipe will not prove a serious hadi- cap to the outfit as it is pos sible to replace the pipe at least temporarily at Hope. The work of installing the plant on the property is going along in good shape and Seifert will be in readiness to turn in the water by the first of August.

par once more but from then on there was nothing to it. Erickson and Copeland scored for the Counter Jumpers in the fifth, and in the sixth Brick son, Janggen, Radenbaugh and Collins each made the rounds bringing up the score to 10 to 8 in favor of Doc Walkers ag- gregation. Both Erickson and Charlie Finzel pitched good ball for a while but the latter weakened in the last and was knocked completely out of the box in the sixth inning when the four runs were scorred' and another one Copeland, came i'll but was ruled out owing to the fact that some of his associates in their en- thusiasm of licking the other fellows interfered with the player.

The fishing sloops and tugs steaming past each other in the harbor were very busy. But the great gulls with their long lazy sweeps through the air seemed very lazy indeed.
 And this day everything was gray-as gray as the backs of the wings of these same lazy gulls. The longshoremen stood about on the wharf in dripping oilskins, that somehow seem ed a part of themselves. And we from under our dripping um brellas, gazed from the steam CT deck and felt much akin.
 The day soon cleared, how ever, and then the wonderful coloring of the Alaskan country began to be seen. There were great hills, towering and mot tied; stretches of sea, shifting in color and motion like quick silver, with the path of the waves touched to a gleaming orange radiance by the declin- : ing sum-"

The greater num- Der of them were consigned to the West Coast points from Sulzer on the one end to Shakan on the other. A big order went 70 Wrangell and another to Petersburg. The excellence of the local production is becom- ing so well known that the scope of it's market is growing steadily.

Judging from the amount of noise which occurred on Mis- sion street between 3 and 4 O. clock this morning during which our worthy town mar shal was conspicious by his absence, the town had better buy an alarm clock to wake him up or an automobile so that he can cover his beat with little more expedition. It is d disgrace that such happen lings occur and no policeman there to. strGghten them out.

FINE BAKERY SHOP

Mike Heneghan says that his new bakery shop which he expects to move into within the next ten days will be the finest in Alaska. The oven be- ing 7x7 feet. It is all lined with asbestos and is credited with being absolutely fire proof. It has double furnace which spreads the heat much more evenly than is possible where but one is used. The building is all hard finished plaster with the bake shop at the rear. This room is thor oughly lighted and ventilated. The middle room of the build ing will be used as a store room for flour and other commod- ities while the room in front will, of course, be used for the sales purposes. Upstairs are two fine sleeping rooms and the whole is probably as con- venient and modern a baking plant as can be found any where.

as THE ExCURsloNlsTs
 GEES THE NoRTHLAND

of Alice Page Henson, appears in the June issue of the Rail- way and Marine News and is part of the description of a trip from Seattle to Skagway: "A wisp of cloud trailed a. cross the sky. And the waves threw themselves hissing a. gainst the side of the steamer, murmuring and complaining at the lashes in their surface. But the engines throbbed steadily on, and like a treas ure house of adventure stretch- ed before us the great country, whose very name, Alaska, a. wakens deep undertones of tragedy and pathos in the hear CTS mind, 60 unique in all the curious pages of history is it's story. Along the coast there are endless miles of country with no apparent sign of habi- tation; only wooded hills, trail ing their skirts in the silent channels; grey, wrinklederocks with skins like elephant hide; bending trees; foaming water falls, that leap daringly from heights above to depths be- neeath, But through all the coast and upland, mines and canneries and mills, the crea- ton of mans hand are begin ming to invade the primal sol-. itudes of nature.
 The third morning, our first stop, Ketchikan, a bustling little town with an air of thrift and progress. Ketchikan is one of the newer towns of Alas ka, with little of the history and romance of the by-gone days that clings, for example, to Sitka. But in the eyes of prac-- tical people this is more than compensated by it's prosperity, and the very real foundation for its thrift. Some handsome new concrete business blocks strike the eye at a convincing angle, approaching the town; and others, rising from their foundations, announce that the day of the wooden building in Alaska as elsewhere is over. There are planked streets, modern hotels, wide awake curio shops, and a surprising number of new homes rising on the hillside where Ketchi- kan, like so many of the north ern town, seem to have blown itself casually down, with no especial regard to favorable location.
 Across the way, on the little point opposite the mainland, are old Indian graves and quaint assemblage of the native totems. A little farther, the skeleton frames of crumbl ing dwellings mark Saxman, a deserted missionary post. Old Metlakahtla, very interesting sociological superintendent an Indlan communal settlement, headed by the venerable Father Duncan, the Apostle of Alas ka," is near here. Just be- yond, Rudyerd Bay, with it's magnificent sweeps, famed for the most wonderful scenery in the North.
 There are mines of copper and gold on the out skirts of the town; and the Standard Oil Company is planting an out post here, erecting tanks to make this the base of supply for Southeastern Alaska. But
 the real source of the towns
 being must be found in the
 salmon stream on which it is
 located, for it was to dry these
 salmon that the first settle
