DELHI MAY GO ON
 THIS RUN

KETCHIKAN, Aug. 6--It is the be- lief of transportation men here that the steamship Delhi, wrecked in Sum- ner Strait last winter and salved by two Ketchikan men will become the running mate of the steam schooner Alliance, which is now on her first Alaskan voyage. The company which operates the Alliance Is under the management of Richard Semmes, for merly an official with the Admiral Line.
 The Delhi is lying at anchor on the flats at the mouth of Ketchikan creek, having been lowed here re- gently from Sumner Strait She is the property of J. R. Heckman and Capt James Sayles, MT. Heckman having purchased for $20,000 the in- terest of Carl Lancaster, who with Sayles, salved the Delhi after she had been abandoned by the Victoria wreck ing concern which was at work on her.
 Captain Walter H. Tim of Seattle, who is associated with Capt E. T. Barnette, formerly of Fairbanks, has ben examining the Delhi, with the assistance of diver. He secured an option on the wreck, and has gone to Seattle, presumably to confer with MT. Semmes. News that Semmes' company would buy the Delhi if the price were satisfactory, leaked out while Capt. Tim was here.
 The owners of the Delhi had ex- pected to take the wreck to Prince Rupert, B. C., ninety miles south of here, where, 1t was believed, repairs could be made to permit her reaching Seattle under her own steam. How. ever it was learned that the duty would be 50 per cent of the cost of the repairs, and the idea was aban. doned.
 The Delhi, at the time of her wreck, was owned by the Pacific Coast Com. pany. She struck on Strait Island, Sumner Strait, during fog. She was under command of Capt F. Nystrom.

LOCATE THE ROCK
 MAR|POsA STRUCK

The rock that the steamship Mari posa of the Alaska Steamship Com pany struck on her last trip down from Southeastern Alaska, July IS, has been charted by the United States coast and geodetic survey.
 In a statement issued by the fed eral authorities it related that imme. diately after the report of the accident to the Mariposa had been received, a wire drag party was sent out to search for the obstruction. Three days after the accident, or on July 19, it was found. It is in Clarence Strait, off Point Harrington, and the description is given for correction of charts pend ing the next edition, on which the submerged rock will appear.
 The rock is described as 200 feet in extent and has a least depth of 20 feet below mean low water. It lies 940 yards from the nearest land, on Point Harrington, upon the following ture bearings: Steamer Point west tangenat, IF degrees; Point Harring. ton, north tangent (three line, Obeser- vation Island) 124 degress: Key Reef

COMING NORTH IN
 YACHT FOR' B|C GAME

R. Vogel and H. o. Vogel. of Los Angeles have left Seattle in the form CTS handsome watch luna on an ex. teended hunting and fishing trip to Alaska.
 The brothers plan to proceed along the inside passage by easy stages, stopping wherever they think the hunting and fishing may be good and will explore the inlets and rivers en route by means of a lunch which the luna carries. They will go as far north as Skagway on the South east. ern route and then come to Cordova and go as far westward as Knik.
 Vogel purchased the yacht, a steam craft with accommodations for a party of nine or ten persons and a crew of sixteen men, last November in New York and brought her to the coast last winter by way of Panama Canal. She was built for an English nobleman in the shipyards at Glas- gow. The yacht has travelled about 10000 miles since she passed into Vogels possession, and he says she has proved herself thoroughly sea worthy.
 The luna is 15O feet long and of graceful lines. Her interior furnish ings are luxurious, the staterooms and cabins being finished in various kinds of beautiful woods.

 Several substantial commercial cen ters will spring up as a result of the building of this road. Ship creek, or Woodrow as it's official designation will be, shoud evolve into an important place. At the coal fields Laneville will be a town with fat payroll. But at the junction, the town of Wilson will eventually eclipse all others, due to its advantageous location. Here the coal branch will join the main railway system. Townsite reserves have been made at each of these places.-Knik News.

INSIDE HISTORY GOAL STRIKE
 LAID BARE

CHICAGO, April 30-Correspon- dence between John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and L. M. Bowers, chairman of the executive department of the Col orado Fuel & Iron Company, was giv- en out here today by the local field headquarters of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations. The letters and telegrams relate to the strike of the coal miners in South ern Colorado and were submitted to the commission in accordance with a demand made for them at the hearing in New York, January IS to Febru- ary 8, last
 The letters from MT. Bowers to his superiors in New York emphasized that the company had anticipated in- dustrial unrest and possible strike by initiating various reforms such as the eight-hour day, bi-monthly pay ments and the employment by the men of their own check weighmen. Mir Bowers maintains in the correspon- dence that these measures were vol untary on the part of the company and were not forced by the laws of the state, as was maintained by the un- ion men.

RAILROAD PLANS OF
 ENGINEERING COMMISSION

The latest information received here about the government railway project plainly indicates that Knik arm will be the center of construction actiyi- ties. It appears to be settled thing that work will be pushed with great vigor on the line to tap the Matanuska coal fields, so that coal will become available for the big remainder of the railway construction. It is probable that construction will begin at two points-Ship creek and Old Knik. While lacking official confirmation It's is published that Old Knik will be the headquarters of the Alaska Engineer ing Commission.
 Active construction it Is reported, will begin June l. When once started, it Is understood that work will be prosecuted the year round until the great project is completed. There is plenty of rock work that can be done in winter months.

It was stated while the Mariposa was in port that the commission does not intend to do any construction work this year but some of the members of the staff of the com mission who went west last night. when asked abopt this. said their un- uerstandlng was that forty miles of railroad will be constructed this sum- mer.

 Many wayfarer in this vast, water. less region has died of thirst prac. tically within sight of the we'll. the whereabouts Of which he was ignorant. It was a tragedy of this sort which led to the erection Of the beacon. A boy, perishing of thirst, had fallen in the last stages of exhaustion. When night came, he noticed the light from the well keepers cabin burning dimly in the distance With a last heroic efort, the boy reached the cabin. This gave the well keeper an idea, and now every night a light flashes out from the only desert lighthouse in the worid.-American Boy.

Extinct Ground Sloth.

The remains of an extinct ground sloth found in Patagonia and brought to this country by Mr. Roosevelt Is now in the American Museum of Natu- ral History in New York. These re- mains possess extraordinary interest, because the surroundings in which they were found seem to prove that the animal was living only a few cen turies ago. and was not only contem. porary with primitive man. but was to some ertent domesticated by him. Previous to this discovery 1t had been believed that all the great ground sloths of South America. of which many fossil remains have been found. became extinct thousands of years ago. The rCmains recently found were discovered in a dry cave, in company with tools or weapons or stone and bone. together with bundles Of grass spread as though intended for fodder. There were other indications that the animals had been stabled or impris- oned in the cave and fed by their cap tors.

Manufacturing Firms Are Realizing This. and the Sales Are inereas-
 ing Enormously.

Although it is estimated that 3l,- 250,00O will be expended for motor trucks in the next ten years, the pos sible future economies of efficient mo tor trucking are incalculably larger than the costs of the trucks" asserts NJ. L. Pulcher. yice-president and gen eral manager of a large motor truck company. over $l50. 1000. 900 are spent in New York city alone for trucking goods with horses. And we know from experience that a considerable part of this huge sum could be saved by economical motor-driyen trucks. Say ing in the cost of delivery and distri- button would naturally mean a reduc- tion in the price of goods. and the cost of living will undoubtedly be less as the use of motor trucks in- creases throughout the country.
 Tt has been carefully figured that 500. 900 motor trucks are going to be purchased by American business houses during the next decade. There is room for a thrill when We realize that the amount to be expended for this delivery equipment would actual ly buy all the clothing for the nation for a year and would almost cover the cost of all the food consumed in the United States during F mouths"
