SPRUCE
 SHIPPED EAST

Juneau Dispatch: Alaska spruce lumber is at last coming into it's own as a wood to be used in the manufacture of fine furniture and interior decorating.
 There has been a steadily increas- ing demand for clear Alaska spruce, or Sitka spruce, as 1t is known in the trade for some time, but the Alaskan mills have been unable, or unwilling to supply the damand to any great extent.
 As ore mill man said recently, My field is in Alaska, and if I ship all of my clear lumber to the states, where will I be able to sell my seconds? I cant ask my trade to buy from me if I give them my second rate lumber"
 The sawmill at Petersburg has made several shipments of clear spruce to Boston in late years where it was used in the manufac ture of the best grade of spoon oars, oars which have been used i'll the big rowing races of the east, Sitka spruce makes the best oars as if is light and tough, oars made from spruce having almost the strength of best ash oars and weighing a great deal less.
 The Worthen Lumber company of Juneau has just made the last ship ment of an order from seattle for clear spruce lumber which is to be used iu the manufacture of fine white enamel furniture, the spruce taking the finest finish under this treatment.
 The mill of the Ketchikan Power company at Ketchikan, during the last summer has shipped several thousand feet of clear spruce lum- Der to Boston to a piano factory, where 1t will be used for piano backs, being strong, light, and an excellent sounding board. Lumber of this grade is rapidly replacing all others in pianos and is ia greatly increased demand.
 A couple of years ago the Hadley Mill loaded a full ship with Alaska spruce lumber and shipped it to San Francisco, where 1t was eagerly sought by lumber leaders. At that time the demand for lumber was very slight all over the United States and the mill company lost money on the experiment on account of the low price and never repeated it. At the present price of lum- Der a shipment of this kind would bring a good profit to the mill, but

Mrs. Ball'a fortune telling booth was source of much amusement. She told eV- eryhody they were naturally very generous, so they could hardly pass the Indian maiden (Miss Han na) at the door without paying her literally.
 Beiweea five and seven o'clock dinner was served and every cook in town was present as were pTactt- cally all the other residents Of the camp. The refreshment committee was, however, equal to the occasion, and everybody fared sumptuously.
 Mrs. Jack Garret's cake, decorat- ed by flags of the Allies. was raf- fled off and brought $55, Barney Mcclure, roadmaster general of the Taku Central railway, being the winr ner.
 The punch bowl, presided over by Miss Benson and Miss Jean Mc- Donald, was one of the most at- tractive features of the bazaar.
 The event closed with grand ball, during the continuance Of which many of the cakes that had been donated were sold and resold at auction, the bidding, with Happy Sullivan as auctioneer, being gener- ous and humorous, and affordins much amusement to the crowd. Capt Roberts of the Cleaner and Capt. McDonald of the Scotia, Louis Schulz and Jimmy Lfpscombe were liberal bidders, and put 1t oyer each other whenever opportunity offered.
 Music was furnished by Prof. Read "Chauncey" schroeder, Dr. Keller and Mrg. Ball.
 The Bazaar netted $545.O0, which sum was sent to the officials or the Canadian Red Gross hospltai fund in vancouver, B. c.
 The members of the Women's Pa triotic League of Atlin have been iudefatigable since their organlza- tion in the securing of funds TOT the relief of the soldier boys across the sea, and their effor~ have been warmly responded to on every occasion by the people. The people of the Atlin dist11cs have also furnished funds for hhe purchase of several machine guns for use at the front and given lfO- erally upon every appeal from the government and the Red Cross so- ciety for aid. They have also as- sisted by sending to the front many Of Canada's most promising sons.

Michael Kelly, SSth New York,
Wounded in Wilderness,
Had Money in Bank.

Michael Kelly, who fought in the
Civil War with the sSth Regiment,
New York Volunteers, and was wound
ed at the Wilderness, was yesterday
declared legally dead in the Surro-
gates Court.
The records of the War Department
show that Kelly was wounded in 1864,
but contain no mention of his having
been seen afterward. Kelly was un-
married, and just before he enlisted
deposited his money in the Emigrant
Industrial Savings Bank in this city.
This money now amounts to Sl,937.
John j. Kelly and Michael T. Kelly, Of
bingham, Mass. nephews of the sol
der and his only next Of kin, have
waited many years for Kelly to ap-
pear. Having given up hope that their
uncle is alive, they applied to Surro-
gate Cohalan for letters Of admins
tration on his estate. They were grant
ed yesterday. which is judicial recog-
milton that Kelly is dead.

graduate Henry James to-day on his
cath of allegiance to the King Of Eng
land. Mr.. James refused to talk about
the motives that impelled him to re-
nounce the citizenship Of the United

cussing the relations of the two great
Anglo-Saxon peoples, he said:

Cleveland, July 2S.-ln addition to
other precautions to prevent intruders
at Forest Hill, John ID. Rockefeller has
for the first time in his life ordered
that the front entrance gate be kept
closed day and night.
This order was issued as result Of
the gate keepers encounter with an au-
tomobile party of men yesterday. Pat
Lynch. who guards the gate, noticed a
touring car carrying seven men roll
through the entrance. He called on
them to stop, and when they kept on
he drew his revolver and fired four
shots. Two of the bullets punctured
the rear tires, and the automobile was
halted. The men declared that they
had an engagement with Mr.. Rocke-
feller, but Lynch had no record of it
and ordered them out of the grounds.
When Mr.. Rockefeller learned OF the
occurrence he ordered the big gate kept
closed Before he arrived here this
summer the steel and wire fences
around the estate were strengthened
and strung with barbed wire The big
stone wall on the Euclid Avenue side
of the estate also was topped with
barbed wire. These precautions were
taken because of the attack on J. r.

Camp Whitman. Fishkill Plains.
July 2s.-A civilian soldier from
Brooklyn lost his life in the battle
between the Reds and Blues, which took
place this morning near Sprout Greek.
Private John F. O'Donnell. of Com
pany K, nth Regiment. was crossing
the creek, seldom higher than waist
high. when he stepped into deep hole.
Fifty pounds of marching equipment
sank him as though a stone had been
tied about his legs.
Part of Company X had reached the
opposite bank when there sounded a
cry of some of the BOYS still in the
water. without accoutrements they
would easily have been able to extri-
cate themselves from the mud into
which they had sunk. Weighted down,
their chances of crossing the creek
without assistance were slight.
Privates Walter +. McKeon and
George Tout had sunk from sight when
Captain william r. Jackson, the regi-
mental adjutant. jumped in after
them. In trying to get McKeon to the
bank he nearly lost his own life. With
McKeon in his arms Captain Jackson
had almost made the gently sloping
shore of the creek when he got stuck
in the mud, and it took several mem
bers of his company to pull him out
When he reached the bank he dropped
McKeon and fell exhausted.
A white painted wooden bridge
crosses Sprout Creek about two miles
from Camp Whitman. Theoretically
the Reds had blown up this bridge
The Blues, of which the l4th Regiment
was yesterday a part. had driven the
23d Regiment Of the Reds from the
westerly bank of the stream. To fol-
low up the enemy, who theoretically
would take up a strong position behind
the hills, orders were given to tnd a
ford and cross at once.
Company X was rushed to a spot ten
feet from the bridge and the orcer was
given to cross. The heavy rains had
swollen Sprout Greek. Yesterday II

width and was that deep at certain
points.
In Jumped Company X. Too late
the men realized that the waters were
too deep for fording. There was a

The 22d Engineers, together with

guns away the men waded and dlved
into the creek in their full uniforms TO
help the Brooklyn soldiers out.

fighting for their lives in the stream,

Promises to Send Aid to
Ottoman Army on Gal
lipoli in Month.

Athens, July 2S dispatch to "The
London Daily Chronicle" ).-Enver
Facha issued this message to his
troops on the Gallipoli Peninsula be-
fore the last big attack:
Soldiers, you will fight with all
your strength. At least, you will re-
sist as long as possible, for can
promise you that within a months
time shall be able to send you to
your homes. Serbia cannot now last
longer than a month. Within that
time the German armies will crush
her and will come to our aid"
| learn that great pressure has been
put on the Germans by the Young
Turks to make them fulfil a promise
10 send German armies through the
Balkans to the assistance of the Turk
ish forces. The Young Turks regard
the achievement of that rlan as the
only hope for the Turkish Empire in
Europe. A prominent military expert
who has just completed .our of the
Balkan States and who has lately
been in Austria expresses to me the
belief that such an effort will be the
next great move on the part Of the
Austrans and Germans.
Should this cross move be made it
will have immediate and important re-
suits in this corner of Europe. 1t is
permitted to say that counter balanc-
ing events are moving rapidly, and the
Teutons' plans may quite possibly be
nipped in the bud by surprising
move, of which the public should hear
at an early date.
