LOCOMOTIVES
 COMING HERE
SHIP THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE PANAMA JULY
 8 CARRIES THEM.

That the ship which left Panama, or was scheduled to leave Panama, July 8 has a couple of locomotives and other railroad equipment aboard for Seward is the statement of Wm. c. Edes, chairman of the Engineer ing Commission, today. At least, Mir. Edes says the locomotives are sup posed to be aboard but the ship may unload at Anchorage first. Part of the equipment aboard for Seward is a steam shovel. It is not generally known that copper wire has already come from Panama for use in con structing the telephone line from Se- ward to Anchorage. The men in charge of that work expect com munication to be opened up between the two cities within three weeks.
 Mir. Edes, accompanied by Mrs. Edes, returned last evening from Anchorage on the Alameda. Eleven or twelve hundred men are now work ing over there. As to the work that will be done here Mir. Edes wijhes to say no more than he has ever said. A good deal will depend, he says, on the time the Alaska Northern will be taken over by the government. If it is taken over before fall quite a little work will be done but he is not yet prepared to say how much. Work is now going on clearing the way for the light car to the Spencer glacier district and the road is being put in shape as much as is necessary

PETITIONS CLAIM PROGRESS

LONDON, July 17-The Germans claim to be mak ing progress in the north of the eastern front The Austans have crossed the Dnester in several places and say they are advancing in Russian territory but no in formation has come from independent sources The news of the capture of Pzasnysz by the Germans has not been confirmed but there is hardly any reason to doubt 1t as the taking of place of such importance could hardly be claimed were it not so Roumania has now refused to carry ammunition for the Turks and this will probably suit in shortage of supplies for the Ottoman army as Bulgaria will follow suit

This is the final news of thc lew steamship line which was hinted at some time ago in the Gateway. Messrs Brown and Hawkins are part owners of the new line and will con duct the Alaska end of the business. This has been known for some time but the actual announcement of the sailing was awaited before publishing the details. The following from the Seattle Times of July 8 gives further details:
 "That a new passenger and freight company is about to enter the Seattle and southeastern and southwestern Alaska routes was disclosed today when the Independent Steamship Line, now in process of organization closed an agreement with the Wash ington Street Pier under which 1t will use that structure as its local termin- al The company is being organized by Seattle and Alaska interests. Articles of incorporation are to be filed in a few days.
 The identity of the Seattle packers has not been given out. The Alaska packers are Brown & Hawkins, bank CTS and merchants of Southwestern Alaska, operating in Seward, Anchor age and other ports in that distrit. The company, it is stated, will oper- ate one or two vessels at first, but will increase it's fleet later. Brown x Hawkins will handle the Alaska end of the business.
 Rumors that new company was about to enter the Northern routes have been in circulation on the front for some time, but no confirmation could be obtained until today when worllmen began painting the name of the concern on the front of the Wash inpton street Piar. The pier is oper- ated by Frank R. HanlOn under a lease from the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company"

Griffith Wheldon. who boasts Of
ninety-eight summers and an equal
number Of winters on this mundane
sphere, was in reminiscent mood In
Fishers bookstore few days ago.
He picked up = copy Of the Saturday
Evening Post. and remarked. II re-
member that paper way back In
1888. and have reason to on account
OF a controversy that came up
through its columns of which l was
the hero. The assertion was made
in the columns Of this paper that no
man living could lift three times his
weight. worked in country store
then, where all the boxes and bar
rels were occupied every day by the
wise men OF the village. These wise
men disputed the assertion made In
the Post. and they Immediately pro-
ceeded to utilize me for the purpose
OF demonstrating that a Giving man
could lift three times his weight"
They placed cask on the counter
that weighed about four hundred
pounds. and then assisted me in plac-
ing II upon my back. ] walked sew
eral steps with the cask and then
placed It back on the counter. The
story OF my adventure was written
up and sent to the editor OF the Sat
nrday Evening Post, but he refused
to believe Il. and sent the story back
with the insinuation that he thought
II was n pure fabrication. Several
who had witnessed the feat then
made affidavit to the truth Of the
story. however. and after that the
editor was convinced and gave II the
publicity that was desired. That was
a long time ago. but age does not
wither its truthfulness.
