The truth is, however, that the
shipments from Cordova, are actual
and real, they are not estimates, they
are not in the future, and they spell
tonnage in large letters. Practically
all the boats of the Alaska Steamship
Company are being used to carry the
southbound freight of Cordova. Even
the boats running to Nome, are COM
ing back this way to relieve the con-
gestion of ore at the dock. Every
available car of the railroad is in COM

worked to it's full capacity. And still

ALBANY, N. Y, July Ex-Governor
Charles Whitman, in discussing the
case of Lieutenant Becker, to whom
he has granted reprieve until July
20, said that he granted the reprieve
so as to forego any suspicion that his
attitude towards Becker was still that
of prosecutor. He said that he was
absolutely convinced that Becker was
guilty of the crime of which he had
been convicted.

CORDOVA'S EXPORTS GROWING
IS NOW THE LARGEST In ALASKA

Kennecott mine If spur was built,
and proper development machinery
installed.
This brings Cordova to the fore as
the premier port of Alaska in the point
of exports. More wealth goes out of
Cordova to the states than any city or
town in Alaska, bar none. This fact
was conclusively proved by the Cham
Der of Commerce in the brief sub
mitted by it to the Railroad Commits
sion last fall, before the government
picked the route for their road. The
unanswerable facts of tonnage were
for some reason ignored by the Com
mission, and there has been much adj
verse criticism by various newspapers
throughout the country because of
that fact. Investigations show moth
ing in the line of tonnage along the
Susitna route to the interior except

has become such common occur
renee to US in Cordova that we fail
to realize just what it means. If one
would stop and think however, he
would realize the astonishing fact
that the boats leaving Cordova for
Seattle get more freight in this port
alone, than they get in Seattle for all
the towns they touch at coming north.
That is a concrete example of how
great the exports of Cordova have
mounted this summer, and this is but
a beginning.

more of them on shipping basis. The

Following is copy of instructions
and regulations concerning the sale of
lots at the townsite of Anchorage
which will commence July g., 1915:
Reservations
The Alaskan Engineering Commits
sion will file with the Secretary of the
Interior, when deemed necessary, its
recommendations for the reservation
of such areas as in it's opinion may be
needed for townsite purposes. The
Secretary of the Interior will there
upon transmit such recommendations
to the President with his objections
thereto or concurrence Herewith. If
approved by the President, the reser-
walton will be made by executive
order.
Survey
When in the opinion of the Presi-
dent the public interests require sur
vey of any such reservation, the Sec
rotary of the Interior shall cause to be
set aside such portions for railroad
purposes as may be selected by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission, and
cause the remainder, or a part there
of, to be surveyed into urban or sub
urban blocks and lots of suitable size,
and into reservations for parks,
schools, and other public purposes and
for government use. Highways should
be laid out, where practicable, all
along shore lines, and sufficient land
for dock and wharf purposes along
such shore lines should be reserved in
such places as there is any apparent
necessity therefor. The, plats of .sucn
survey will be. prepared in triplicate,
one for the General Land Office to be
on tracing linen, one for the local
land Office and onssfor the Recorder
of the proper recording district. The
survey will be made under the super
vision Of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office and the plats will
be approved by him and by the Chair
man of the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission.

ten did find pearls in the Pacific, and he
left record of it. And he brought some
of them home, and gave them to that
girl.
"I've no doubt he meant to come back
again, but he never did. Till the latter
part of the nineteenth century, no one
went looking for pearls in the Western
Pacific again. And no one ever found the
remains of Schouten's pearls-but me.
And haven't found them yet. That's
all, youngster-for the present"
1t was too late for dinner. l went out
on deck, and found long chair where I
could lie and think.
"Going to be fun!" was the result of
my thinking. "Going to be jolly fun.
How glad-how very glad 1 am that 1
punched Sterry, and that he didn't punch
me!
"Now, I should not be surprised" I
meditated further, "if Red Bob never said
another word about his daughter again.
1t would be like him."
1t seemed was right, for he never did.
NORTH New Guinea is out of the
hurricane zone; but nevertheless the
Pacific, that Unnamed ocean, welcomed
us to the neighborhood of the Schoutens
with blow that would have given the
average steamship passenger something
to talk about for the rest of his life.
Most of the night had listened to the
roar and wash of the great Pacific comb
ers, as we swept through the Schoutens
in the dark. And as the stormy dawn be-
gan to break over Papua, stood clinging
to the rail, all wet with spray, to see the
black hills of the unknown land spread
out their reckoning hands.
Somehow, l could not get the girl of
the nutmeg island out of my mind. I
looked up from the white decks of the
Afzelia, and saw-Isola of the nutmeg
island-Isola Ravenna-Isola Bella
coming round the corner of the dining
saloon!
aWhy didn't Miss Siddis tell me?" I
wondered. "She was free enough with
her yarns about Frau Baumgartner and
Frau Schultz, but never a word about
Miss Ravenna."
1t was evident that the girl was no bad
sailor. The Dread of Banda mountain,
sure-footed, as an Dread should be, began
to pace up and down the narrow deck,
balancing to the roll of the ship as lightly
as q flower in the wind. She was not
dressed in green to-day. She wore suit
of very thin white wool, girdled with
green ribbon; there was another green
ribbon tied about the wide-leafed hat she
wore.
As she passed me on the deck, l
noticed the faintest possible perfume of
fresh fower-petals.
WE were running far out now, and
w there was nothing to be seen of New
Guinea but long, blue serrated line to
starboard.
The sky was the thin hot blue of the
tropics; the sea pale blue, with intolerable
diamond sparklings in every wave. Blue
and diamond was the whole morning,
hard, relentless, and, with the following
wind, distressingly hot. Unseasoned as
was, l felt it somewhat. But Isola Ra-
VIENNA, true flower of the tropics, seemed
to enjoy the heat. At all events. she paced
lightly up and down the decks, from shade
to sun, and back again, and her ivory-pale
small face, the exact shade and texture of
a magnolia petal, did not seem to be af-

the elderly man with the gray-green eyes,
the owner of the head that had protested
so strongly against my duel. l had not
seen him before, and judged that the heavy
rolling of the steamer on the first day and
night had kept him in his cabin. At all
events, there he was, spruce, shaved, and
that the skin shone through, thick figure
barely restrained by his loose shirt and
belt, and, in unexpected contradiction to
his short, weighty build, with light walk
that was singularly we'll drilled and smart,
even for German.
"Good morning!" he said, with pleas
ant smile.

spoke. The pleasantness of his address

and chill as the Baltic of his Prussian
