DISTRESS
 SIGNAL REPORT TRUE

The report that the Mariposa heard distress signals while on her north bound trip, early last Monday from vessel that was in the ocean west of Cape Flattery, an account of which appeared in The Empire Wednesday, is confirmed by the following from the Seattle Times of last Tuesday:
 "Confrmation of the Tatoosh Island report that an unidentified vessel was in distress Sunday night of Cape Flattery was received today from the steamship Bear of the San Fran. cisco & Portland Steamship company The Bear notified Portland that while she was crossing the Columbia River bar early Monday morning, she caught the distressed vessels wireless $. o. s. call. She also picked up reply from the United States revenue cutter Snohomish, notifying the yes sel that she was hastening to the res. cue.
 "The Bears wireless operator was unable to make out the name of the vessel calling for help, but, the com bination of sounds led him to believe that the ship was the steam schoon' CT St. Helens, of the B. J. Dodge Steamship company. The St. Helens, however, arrived safely in Seattle yesterday from Boring Sea with the report that her voyage had been uu' eventful.
 "A telegram received by the Mer- chants Exchange of Seattle this morn; ing from Port Crescent reports that nothing has been seen or heard at Tatoosh Island since Sunday night that would indicate any disaster. The advices from the steamship Bear this morning, however, confirm the origi- nal report
 "The local waterfront tends to the belief that the ship went ashore, sent up the signals seen by the TatoOsh Island llghtkeeper and sounded the $. o. S. call for help, but later sue ceeded in floating herself"

CHICAGO OFFICER
 TALKS OF ALASKA

"This is the most wonderful coun- try in the world, and if the people of the East only knew it, this would be the greatest place for tourist travel on the globe" said E. P. Holden, dep uty U. S. marshal of Chicago, who came to Juneau bringing w. R.. Rogers from LibertyyilIe, III. "rhe scenery, he continued, 'fs grand, the climate delightful, and the people the most hospltable have ever met"
 Mir. Holden left for the south on the Northwestern yesterday, He said that when be reached Seattle he would pick up the heavy rifle and fur overcoat that he had brought along for selk protection in the stern Arctic region that he supposed that he was coming to-he had been pur, suaded by friendly Alaskans in the spirit City" not to bring the safe guards farther and said that he was glad of 1t. When I get home" he said, 'Tn tell 'em few things about this country-things they ought to know"
 You people here have no idea of the crass ignorance ot the people throughout the States about Alaska," ," he said. fit is colossal. They be- lieve this is country of perpetual snow and ice everywhere-they have pictures of icebergs and polar bear constantly in mind when thinking of Alaska, except perhaps an occasional thought is given to the gold and coal that abounds and the attempt of large corporations to get 1t all. Why l loaded myself down with heavy rifles and ammunition. firs of all kinds and other paraphenalla to protect myself while up here-but some one saved me from being fool enough to bring 1t all to Juneau. They have no idea that the finest kinds of vegetables, fruits and farm products can be rais- ed here and, that the climate is more mild than that of several of the States. It is great deal colder to- day in Chicago than 1t is in Juneau.
 "Yes. when I so home I'll boost the country-there seems to be quite a bit of 1t, and some of 1t is not yet ap- preciated"

GEN. DISTIN IS
 VISITING DETROIT

Gen. w. L. Distp attended the re. cent Grand Army of the Republic en, campment at Detroit where he par ticipated In the proceedings. Letters received in the last mail of date Sept eth say that he was still in Detroit but about to depart for Chicago.
 The Detroit Daily Times of Sept 5th contains the following concerning Gen. Dlstin:
 'william L. Dlstin who for 16 years was suryeyor.general and ex-ofIiic sec. retary of the Territory of Alaska, is visiting friends in Detroit after at tending the G. A. R, Incidentally General Dlstin, as he is known in Al aslsa, claims Che honor of having come farther than any other veteran to at. tend the encampment, Although he left Juneau in the latter part of last winter, he has been taking the jour ney by easy stages, paying many wis it's. He expects soon to go to Chicago, and then for an extended visit in Quincy, H., his old home, before re. turning to Alaska. He is an enthusias- tic booster for the land of the far North.
 "Alaska, he declared, is a very progressive country with glorious fu- ture before her. The new government railroad proposed, will do much for the development of the country. It is not a country for the poor man unless he is young and strong, ready to under. take hardships and endure sacrifices. For men like that it holds out large re. wards. As for the people there, noth- ing too good can be said of them; they Andersonville prison"
 "Gen. Dlstln was supplanted as sur veyor.general when the change of ad- ministrations in Washington took place. One of his duties was to act as Governor of the Territory in the absence of the Governor, and it is said that he has thus served more time as Governor of the Territory than any other man.
 Gen. Distin served throughout the Civil War, except during the winter of 1SG4-65, when he was prisoner in Andersonville prison.
