ORDER LUMBER
 FOR SEWARD
GOVERNMENT LET'S CONTRACT FOR MILLION AND A HALF
 FEET FOR THIS PLACE.

The probable intention of the gov ernment, or the engineering commis- sion, with respect to the development of Seward the terminal of the govern ment railroad, may be judged by the fact that a contract has been let for the cutting of one million and a half feet of lumber which will be shipped to this city. The lumber will De cut and sawed at Portage bay. John En- land came on the Northwestern yes terday and went back to Portage Bay on the same boat to commence the work of securing the lumber. When asked why Portage bay was selected as the place for getting out lumber he declared te reason to be that the timber was better there than here. One of the men who are associated with Mr. Enlund in the contract is Peter Johnson, formerly a merchant of Fairbanks and other interior towns. There are some others also, and one of the associates is one of the big mining men but his name is not yet for publication. Mir. Enlund consent ed to speak only when he was pressed with questions. It was learned that in addition to the lumber being cut at Portage bay a schooner load will be shipped to Seward from the outside next month or in July. When the summers cutting is finished at Port age bay the mill will be transferred to Talkeetna for winter work. Mir. Enlund was unable to say what the government will do with so much lumber and it can only be surmised that Seward is soon to have the term inal buildings going up.

BRITAIN REFUSES
AMERICAS REQUEST
Won't Allow Consular Officer
to Go to KirkWall to Look
After Shipping.
[By Csbls 10 Ths Tribunal

London, March 25.-America's request
for a consular officer to be stationed at
Kirkwall, In the Orkney Islands, which
is a sort Of British base for detained
/ rchantmen engaging in trade between
America and Scandinavia and some
times Germany. has been refused by
the British government on the ground
that similar requests by other neutrals
were also declined.
America desired a consular officer
there to look after American ships
which were detained. The officer would
have an opportunity of speedily obtain
ing all the facts when American ships
were stopped or when other vessels
c+rrying American argoes were de-
tanned.
Hitherto Kirkwall hasn't been COM
mercially important enough to require
the presence of the consular officials Of
any country. Now it presents the as
pect of great shipping centre, as
dozens of ships have been taken there
for examination. Many have been per-
mitted, particularly before the recent
Order in Council, TO pass, while others,
if carrying contrabanG destined for
Germany. have been sent under an es-
cort to some other port TO be held for
prize court action.
1t is stated in official quarters today
that the delay concerning the Wilhel-
nina, in regard to which the owners
OF the cargo are much exasperated, is
not unreasonable, and Is partly due,
at least, to a request early in the pro-
ceedings from the State Department at
Washington that prize proceedings be
temporarily postoned.
Washington, March 25.-It was at
the suggestion of Corsul General Skin
ner, at London, that the State Deart-
ment made application TO the British
government for permission to have
consular representative a. Kirkwall, to
keep in touch with American ships and
foreign vessels loaded with American
goods brought into that small port by
the British cruisers after being seized
when rounding the northern end of the
British isles.
Mr.. Skinner wished =. send one of
the American consular officials from
Dundee, Scotland, 10 Kirkwall in the
capacity Of consular agent and not
as full-fedged consul.
As the British government is unwill-
ing TO have any consular officers sta
toned at Kirkwall, showing no dis
between nations, the State
will not .ttempt to press
the matter.
