CORDOVA HARBOR
MR., SMOOT
EXAM|NEDbY

Among the Cordova's distinguished
visitors while the steamer Mariposa
was in port Sunday was L. E. Smoot,
close personal friend of Secretary of
Interior Lane, who is making an in.
vestigation of Alaska harbors with a
view to securing an outlet for our coal.
He was on his way east, after having
visited the Cook Inlet country. Mr..
Smoot is representative business
man of the Atlantic coast and made
the trip north at the request of Mr..
Lane to gather all information avail
able as to harbor conditions, and this
he has done. The Secretary realized
that the people of the Pacific Coast are
prejudiced against one town or an
Their in Alaska and believed that he
could get the most unbiased opinion of
conditions in the northland by send
ing Mr. Smoot here.
Although this was his first trip to
Alaska Mr.. Smoot was not unfamiliar
with our country. He had fortified
himself with maps, charts and other
data before coming to the territory
and during his visit interviewed a
large number of people. Realizing
that it was an easy matter to &C.
quire false impressions he desired to
get his information first hand and 1t
did not take him long to modified some
of his views about the Cordova harbor
and Prince William Sound after he
had gone over the harbor situation
here with members of the local Cham
Der of Commerce Mr. Smoot was fur
nished with mass of reliable data
and will be in a position to make an
intelligent report on conditions as they
actually exist.
Unfortunately his time here was
limited and he was unable to avail
himself of the invitation to take trip
over the Copper River & Northwestern
railway to the interior copper mines.

SIR VAN HORNE
DIES 7 ODAY
MONTREAL

MONTREAL, Sept. 11-Sir William
Van Horn, one of the foremost rail-
road men of the American continent,
and said to be the Hill and Harri-
man of Canada" died here today, at
the age of seventy-two.
Van Horne rose from the foot of the
ladder to wealth and fame as one of
the so-called empire builders of Cana
da. Although he was born in the
United States in Will County, ILL.,,
Feb. 3, 1S43 and gained railway ex-
perience through many years connec-
ton with railrods in the Central and
Western United States, it was after
his moving to Canada and becoming
general manager of the Canadian Pa
cific railway in 1882 that he achieved
his most notable triumph by pushing
the railway to completion across the
continent.
All the rest of his active life he was
one of the heads of the Canadian Pa
cific, being vice-president from 1888
to 1899, and chairman of the board Of
directors from 1899 to 1910.

ADMIRAL L n { R
ON MAIDEN
VOYAGE

The steamer Admiral Farragut
reached Cordova at 9 o'clock this
morning on her initial voyage to
Southwestern Alaska. With her in
terror repainted, her carpeting and
other furnishings in a large part re-
newed and althogether looking like a
bran new liner, the double-bottom,
twin screwed vessel was met at the
dock by large number of people.
The Farragut takes the place of the
liner Admiral Watson, now submerged
at the Bell street pier, at Seattle,
where she was rammed by the freight
er Paraiso. On the Watsons return to
commission, the Farragut, however,
will remain on the Northern route,
giving the company three vessels in
the Seattle-Alaskan run, the third be-
ing the Admiral Evans. The Farra-
gut has been operated in the Seattle
San Francisco service since she was
purchased by the company last year.
The first-class staterooms on the
upper deck remain as two-berth apart
ments, this arrangement having been
found popular with the travelling pub
lie. Twelve new frst-class state
rooms were added in the after main
deck Other additions include bar.
Der shop, bar and an extra bath,
room. To handle the increased quaint
ity of ship stores that the liner will
have to carry on her new run, as com
pared with the California route, her
cold storage capacity was doubled
Her steerage accommodations were in
creased from limited number OF
berths to care for 1870 passengers.
The Farragut's passengers were as
follows:
For Cordova-J. L. Blanks, Grant
Hoppe, w. c. Hoppe, H. w. Robbins
w. J. Lavery. .ti
For Katalla-Robert McHardie.
For Valdez-Geo. Baldwin, A. A

yon, S. w. Emerson.
For Anchorage-W. J. Darwin, Ma
tilda Krogman, Richard Lander, Mrs
Lander, H. l.. Warren, Mrs. C. X
West, P. H. Moore, Otto Davis, Mrs

MINING ALASKA
COAL NEAR
SELD0v|A

Captain J. A. Herbert, who was the
first men to secure lease of coal
lands from the government in Alaska,
has already taken out more than three
thousand tons from his leased prop
erty at Bluff Point twelve miles from
Seldovia. The output has been sold
to Anchorage, steamers, the canneries
and will soon be on sale in Seward.
The coal is Ignite and the engineer of
the Panama steamer Sinoloa, which
tested in and brought 1O7 tons, said it
was about the finest coal he ever used
for steaming purposes. The veins
crop out from a bluff right over the
beach and a tunnel has been driven
800 feet into the solid coal so that in
future the sort of coal taken out will
be far better than the coal from the
surface. The government at Anchor
age has used a large quantity and is
so we'll pleased that the steamer
Tyonic is continuing to haul it every
day to the new railroad city. The
mine has capacity of forty tons daily
but this capacity can easily be in
creased and Captain Herbert has in
sight enough coal for years and years.
The coal shipped before from the sur
face was not so good as the quality
now being mined. The present output
is so clean that handling it does not
even soil the fingers. 1t is, therefore,
Captain Herbert says, also ideal for
domestic purposes. The captain is on
his way to Seattle and will be able to
let the world know that the coal which
has been so long tied up by tn egov-
eminent is now ready to aid in the
territory's development.

GENERAL WILL
IS REPORTED
KILLED

Ell PASO, Sept. 11-An unconfirmed
report has gained considerable Gre
dence here to the effect that General
Pancho Villa, lader of one of the fight
ing branches of Mexicans and General
Rudolfo Fiero, one of Villas COM
manders, were both killed while on a
visit to the ranch of General Thomas
Urbinas near Santa Barra, in the pro-
vince of Chihuahua According to the
story which is being told, Villa and
Fiero went to Urbinas' ranch for the
purpose of compelling Urbinas to
share with them the loot he had col
lected during the present internal
troubles in Mexico. Four hundred of
Villas best troops accompanied the
generals and Urbinas refused to divide
his spoils and in fight which result
ed, both Villa and Fiero met their
death. The loot which Urbinas is sup
posed to have at his ranch has been
valued at five million dollars. De-
tails of the trouble have not been re-
ceived, but the report is considered to
some degree credible as it is known
that Urbinas had the money and that
Villa figured on securing some of it
for the purpose of replenshing his sup
plies for his soldiers.

MURDEREDFOR
HER MONEY

NEW YORK, Sept. 9-Mrs. Eliza
beth Nichols, the widow Of a wealthy
wholesale grocer was found last night,

where dainty dresses and ornaments

all through the third degree, they
placed the hall boy Owen Tales. under
arrest. The police claim that the boy
confessed that he had participated In
the murder but refused to tell who his

POT IS BOILING
OVER ALIEN
LABOR

Congress will be asked this fall to
investigate labor conditions on the
government railroad, according to cur
rent rumors on the streets of Alaskan
towns.
1t is alleged that mostly aliens are
being employed. Seattle unions have
adopted resolutions concerning this
report.
In fact, different people have init
mated that they intend to call the at
tention of congress to what they term
discrimination. If there is any fire in
all of the smoke that is being raised
concerning events to the westward.
where Uncle Sam is beginning his first
big railway project, it may become a
very important part of congressional
sessions next session.
All of which will remind Alaskans Of
that old saying that the ALASKA ques-
ton is loaded" and administrations
may come and administrations may
go, but ALASKA" continues to be the
big question mark of each session.
In reporting meeting Of the Seat
tie Central Labor Council the Times
of that city says:
Gan important item was the adop.
ton of the report of the legislative
committee on the resolution received
from the Metal Trades Council last
week denouncing and protesting
against violation of the federal eight
hour law by the Alaska railroad COM
mission and condemning the employ
ment of cheap alien labor by govern
ment contractors in navy yards and on
public works. Concurrence in the
resolution substantially as received
from the metal trades organization
was recommended by the committee.
