There is strong possibility that a new paper will be started in Seward in a short time. The Gateway has got in bad with some of the local people there and arrangements have been made to start an opposition journal. A repre-. sentative went outside on one of the last boats to purchase a printing plant. -Ex.

 KENNECOTT-Au immense volume of smoke has appeared in the heavens in and around the Alaska range of noun tains. The general opinion is that Mount Wraugell has become active again, as there is quite a quantity of light ash falling here, apparently from the direction of Wraugell mountains. The smoke became SO dense on the 18th as to cause the sun, which was high at the time, to look like a ball of fire. Large puFs of smoke, tinged with red, were discernible above the range of mountains some 100 miles from Kenne- colt. About seven years ago Mount Wrangel was active and threw out just such ash as is falling here. The volca. no is 14,0OO feet high.
 The Seward Gateway says: Alaska is certainly faced by new conditions. Who ever thought, five years ago, that the day would come when Uncle Sam would take the place of an auctioneer of city lots? Pioneers{ Do you re- member the really good old days when you pulled your polling boat in to the bank, put four stakes around a piece of ground, hoisted your tent and called it home? You were pioneers then and all you wanted was a sack of flour and a side of bacon while you were opening Gods domain to ciyilizatiou-the civ ilization which now takes no account of your wOrk-the civilization which even refuses to let you take your hard earned wages out of the dump.

On the deck of the freighter Seward, of the Alaska Steamship Company, on her last voyage northward was the stern wheel steamer Matanuska, a yes sel ninety feet over all in length. The Matanuska is for the Alaska engineer ing commission and will be delivered at Anchorage, Cook Inlet The vessel will be used in hauling supplies for the government railroad in the North. The Matanuska was built at Ballard by Joseph Supple, of Portland, and was designed by Capt. James T. Gray. She draws only twelve inches of water which will make it possible for her to go far up the Matanuska river. The vessel is equipped with an eighty-horse power Atlas engine.
 Representative John c. Held, for himself and the other members of the legislature from the First Division of Alaska, has instituted a suit in the United States District Court asking the court to decree that the law passed at the recent legislative session dis tributing the money paid into the Ter ritorial treasury ae a part of the pro. ceeds from the sale of timber, uses, etc, from the Tougass national forest reserve for roads and schools in vari- ous judicial divisions of the Territory. to be unconstitutional and void; asking that it declare the money referred to belongs to the First Division of Alaska for echool and road purposes, and to issue an injunction restraining the treasurer from paying out of the treas ury any of said money in his possess sion except to the said First division. The money amounts to S5296Sl7
 Instructions, approved by President Wilson, for the sale of townsites along the route of the government railroad between Seward and Fairbanks, were received by the land office last month. The sale will begin at Ship Creek on July 9. Lots will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, without limiting the nuuber which may be sold to any oue buyer Andrew Christensen, chief of the Alaska field division of the gen, eral land office, will supervise the sale. The instructions stipulate that the minimum price for single lots will be s25. Terms of s25 cash and the balance in yearly payments for period of five years will be allowed on lots sold for price of s75 or oyer. Buyers will be permitted to assign their rights to the lots, and bids by agents will be allow ed. The instructions make no stipule- tions as to the race or age of the buy' CTS. No gambling, liquor selling or ims morality will be allowed on any of the lots, under penalty of forfeiture. 4 town will be incorporated at once, but will not be allowed to issue bonds until the patents to the land are issued, five years after tbe sale. In the meantime, of the Interior Lane will or- der any necessary improvements. Other sales will be made during the summer to give newcomers a chance to pur~ chase. The force engaged in the work of construction of the railroad is being increased to 1,4OO. Members of the AL aska engineering commission, however, say that thereis no need for any more men than are already on the spot, and they warn against any outsiders coming in in the expectation of obtaining en- ployment.

 A Seattle paper says: J.LMcPherson secretary of the Alaska bureau of the chamber of commerce left last night on She steamer Jefferson, bound for Alas- ka to learn in what manner Seattle can assist in the celebration of the semi centennial of the purchase of Alaska. The idea of the semi-centennial cele. bratiou in 1917 originated in Fairbanks about two years ago, and plans for celebration at that point are well under way. Fairbanks is Mr. McPhersou's destination. He expects to meet Gov. Strong and Delegate Wickershan there. The tentative plan of the Alas ka bureau is to take a large party of representatives of official and business life of the United States through Alas ka being in Fairbanks at the time of the celebration, but all plans are being held in abeyance until the return of Mir. McPherson, who will visit the lead ing cities of Alaska, from Ketchikan to Nome, and learn the wishes of the peo pie of Alaska regarding fitting cele- bration. He will be gone five or six weeks.
 "Nome will be noted as one of the greatest gold producing districts of the world long after members of the present generation are great.grand- parents" said James B. Ivory, a Nome mining man, on a recent visit to Se- attle. Mir. Ivory, who has been a min ing operator at Nome since 1901, spent the winter on the "outside," for the first time in twelve years, coming out last fall and staying in California. He is now returning to Nome for the sum- mer season. "Plscer mining will of course play out in time," said Mir. Ivory, "but dredging will continue great many more years than 1 expect to live. There is practically unlimited ground that can be worked with dredges, and this form of mining is just getting a good start While hold a great deal of ground near Nome, l don't expect to do much work myself, but will lease the greater part of my land" Mir. Ivory at one time held claims on the ground of the recent strike at Dexter hill, but relinquished them five years ago. CT guess l didn't look carefully enough when l had those claims" said he.

Fortunately for Moran, luck, after

wallop, turned it's attention to the
Braves, generally regarded as his
most dangerous rivals, and proceeded
to smear the regular alignment of the
Stallings troop. First Rabbit Maran-
vile went out with an injury and he
is not expected to play any more this
season. Then Schmidt, the giant first
baseman, took a crack on the arm
and was sent home to recover from
the hurt.
To cap the climax, Snodgrass, who
has been understanding Schmidt at
first base, was spiked on the hand by
Bob Fisher yesterday; and, even
though he returns to the game with
