Cordova, June 3. Dr. Council forever established
 his reputation as mighty hunter by bringing to town this afternoon
 a black bear which he killed in the
 neighborhood of Mile 67. It is also
 reported that he shot one or two
 others which the people of the interior are now devouring.
 Judge Roscoe R. Smith, accom-
 panied by his wife, sailed on the
 Alameda this morning for Valdez
 expecting to return on the same i trip and go outside, making trip
 to California and then go back t.l ! Nebraska for short time, prepara. tory to again coming north. Judgc
 Smith came to Cordova and spent a
 few days looking over the situation with a view of locating here. He is
 fully imbued with the idea that
 Cordova is to become one of the
 great and substantial cities o! Alaska, and in the course of few
 months will return and locate here to devote his time to the practice ot
 law.
 Three geological survey parties will leave Cordova on the morning
 train. One headed by Fred H. Moi fit will go to the Kuskulina and
 Kotsina section, where MT. Mottit
 was engaged last season. The other
 two parties, headed by s. R. Capps and c. E. Giffin will go to the Chisana country, where there will
 be extended work, as that section has not been reported on in recent years. These men will take with them horses and supplies sufficient to last several months.
 The steamer Alameda reached port this morning at 8. o'clock and sailed to the westward about II o'clock. After leaving Valdez she will put in at Portage Bay, when
 members of government survey party will be put ashore, as well as large quantity of supplies. The Alameda will return from Seward on Sunday shortly after the noon hour, but as she will take on a large quantity of copper ore she will net sail south before midnight. Bob Ashland was a passenger On the Alameda for Seward. He expects to return to Cordova and spend a few days before going back to the states.

 the first railroad activities started
 at Katalla, and later came to Cor dova when construction work com menced here. He has a large circle
 of friends in this part of Alaska,
 who wish him success in his new
 field of labor, and who will be glad to know where to reach him if they desire to have any legal matters attended to in Seattle.

It will be remembered that T. C. Macauley was former employe of the Copper River & Northwestern Railway, located at Chitina and other interior points, who left this section couple of years ago to study aviation. From here he went to San Diegol, Cal, and in about two years time he had not only built his own machine but had also estab- lished the American record for alti- tude. He is now at Toronto, Can., where he is making some record breaking flights. Two weeks ago the Toronto Sunday World devoted two pages to illustrations taken from photographs by camera man who accompanied Macauley and caught views 5000 feet up looking down" MT. Macauley's own story of his achievements is also published.
 Flight days later, on February 25th, 1 was ready for my fourth and last attempt. Taking fuel for a little over an hour, started away and with the light load had no diff culty at all. In l , minutes I had reached 6,56S feet, an altitude that had taken me two hours on my first attempt; in 30 minutes had reached the $500 foot mark; and in exactly 53 I had reached 12,139 feet. I had made the American record"

SOIuOVd, Juuc o. At the Chamber of Commerce meeting last night there was dis cussion of the probability of Con gross passing the Alaska coal leas- 1 ing bill before adjournment. From reports received it looks as though there was a strong possibility of this accomplishment. The efforts of President Wilson upon behalf Of favorable legislation for Alaska was i highly commended, as was also the strong support given various meas ures by friendly senators and repre- sentatives. It was decided that the executive committee send to the lat | ter letters expressing the apprecia-
 tion of the people of Cordova, also that the Legislative committee send wire to President Wilson, which was done today in the following | words:
 Sincerely appreciative of your
 efforts behalf of Alaska. Prayer
 fully urge your insistance for pas sage of coal leasing bill before adjournment. Vital to prosperity 7 and happiness of people of this section.'
 Capt. Fred Warner and his crew returned this morning from Cape Hinchinbrook, where they found that the swells were so bad that Diver Mckay could accomplish little in the way of dismantling the light house tender Armeria, which was submerged two years ago.

All the wrecking material was brought back on the Swan and Captain Warner and his men will return to Seattle on the steamer next week.

In the event that he is, the orders will be placed at Cordova and shipped from here to Chitina on the railroad. MT. Deyo states that there are several routes available between Chitina and Matanuska, and that he expects to survey them all, so that he and his 16 men will be occupied until early winter.
 It is predicted that in this section of Alaska one of the biggest runs of fish in the history of canners will be recorded. The run is earlier than usual and larger in number, while the fish are larger in size. Yester- day on the Copper River flats the boats from the Orca cannery secured more than they could handle, while the catch of nineteen independent fishermen, who expected to sell to the cannery, had to be thrown back. It is estimated that in all 25,0O0 fish more than could be cared for were caught.

The challenge from the Chitina baseball team has been seriously ! considered by the ball players of ] Cordova. It is believed that if a team is formed from 10th the. rail-
 road and town teams that they
 would prove invincible as against the
 combined effort of the best players from Chitina to Mccarthy. It has been decided to make Capt. Lathrop
 manager of the new team and he
 was authorized to take up the Fourth of July challenge with the Chitina manager. If some guarantee is arranged the boys here are anXi- ous to take a swipe at the team Of the interior. This afternoon Capt.
 Lathrop took the matter up by wire and it is expected that within a day or two it will be known just what can be done. The railroad boys want the Cordova crowd with them if they go to Chitina on the Fourth.
 They believe that if a special train is
 secured and the excursion tickets placed at $5 each that a sufficient
 number can be secured to take the trip.
 A special train carried over 140 people to Mile 15 yesterday after
 noon. They were all enthusiastic fans and greatly enjoyed the ball
 game. The railroad boys seemed to | play under diversity from the start. | When any of that team would hit the ball there was sure to be some
 one right there to catch it and put him out. And when the same team
 was in the field the ball never seemed to come just where rail-
 road boy was expecting it. The town team was in good practice and form | from the start and soon gained such lead that there was no doubt as to 1 the result of the game. The score
 was IT to z, but there were some good plays made and lots of good | natured joshing, so that the spec
 tators had the full worth of their | money and are keen for another
 contest. Irony" was on hand, and
 to make sure of the town boys win
 ming he took out a mascot that
 proved invincible.
 E.. F. Medley and wife, MT. Gillis I and wife, Miss Olga Thisted, Miss ] Genevieve Whalen and Dr. w. H. Chase went over to the wireless

 CordOva will have celebration
 on July 4th. It will not be an elab-
 crate affair, but something on the
 line of last years event. This con- clusion was reached at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Friday night. A committee of Dr.
 Chase, M. Brock and M. Finkelstein was named to have the affair a charge and raise the funds neces- sary. While it is not expected that the celebration will draw many pep pie from neighboring towns, it is in- tended that there shall be entertain ment to interest the people who re- main in town on that day.
 The steamer Alameda came in from the westward yesterday after noon about o'clock. She was de- layed here until o'clock this morn ing, taking on IT'S tons of Bonanza copper ore, 90 tons of Mother Lode ore and 15 tons of mild cured salmon. The following passengers left here for southern ports:
