REVENUE CUTTER MANNING
 HAS INTERESTING REPORT

Completing cruise of approximately 15,000 mibs the United States revenue cut ter Manning, Captain F. C. Dodge reached Seattle recently. The Manning sailed from Seattle on May l. She went north via Cape Fla cry, cruising in the Gulf of Alaska untl June l5, between akutat and Kodiak frGa June 15 until July 15, then between Kodiak and Unimak pass, and finally into Boring sea, where she spent the rest of the season.
 At Nushgab, Bristol bay, the Manning loaded sixB head of reindeer which were taken to 4tka island of the middle Aleu- tlans.
 The reindeer will be used in stocking the island, and will furnish food for the natives during the long winter During her cruise of the seal islands the Manning picked up some of tie seal commissioners who went to the far North aboard the United States revenue cutter McCulloch They were taken to Seward
 Officers d the Manning said that the Aleuts of Aka island are dying of tuber- culosis, ard it will be only few years until the island isdepopulated. They live in huts built of earh, and in their damp, poorly ventilated h'mes contract disease rapidly.
 In village near Agiza, on the Ugashik river, where here was population of about ffty-seven Aeut5, one birth and ten deaths have occurrel during the past year. Every person in the village, men, women and chil- dren was npre or less afflicted with the disease.
 The Manning reported that 100 Chinese cannery hand at Koguing, at the mouth Of the Kvichak river, Bristol bay, refused to return South on the cannery vessel in port, saying she vas not safe. They demanded transportation on a steamer and said that if they were compelled to spend the winter in the North they would burn the town. The owners oi the cannery finally furnished them transportation on the steamer Dora.
 No seal poGhers were found during the cruise of the sal islands.

Steward Gateway
 Arrival of First Mai From idtarod
 The first mail arrived from the Idltarod last Saturday night, five days ahead of schedule and so made it absolutely cer- tain once for all thta this IS the best route ever tried to the Interior of Alaska. Colonel Rcvelle considers the feat a most remark able one considering the fact that the mail had to be hauled ever bare ground for hun dreds of miles He gives all the credit to the boys who were entrusted with the work of bringing the mail in. Each and every one of them, he says, worked as though the beating of the schedule time would be personal triumph for himself. The mail came in so late at night that there were few to meet it, but the splendid work done Is none the less appreciated. The quick trip shows clearly that this is the way now for all Interior travel.
