the thermometer registered nearly so
degrees in the shade during the carry
part of the day and that for three
months Seward has not had half a
dozen rainy days he expressed a
pleased surprise. Living for nearly n
score of years in the territory, as he
has, he was delighted beyond meas
ure will all he saw, One Of his chief
pleasures after the first rush of the
reception was to meet all the old
friends whom he knew in other parts
of the territory, and his friends are
numbered among no particular class.
They are as numerous as the pOpula-
ton of the territory. They are all

national airs. From the Victroia came
answering cheers for Seward, and at
a distance it seemed that the voice
that called for them was that Of the
governor himself. Captain Johnny"
O'Brien, that popular veteran OF
northern waters, slowed down as Cap
tain Hansen Of the Santa Ana turned
to circle around the stern Of the in
coming ship and pull up alongside.
The two vessels then started abeam
for the wharf down the bay as the
music and cheers continued. The
docks were crowded as the steamers
approached and the Victoria pulled
up letting the Santa Ana tie up.
Cheers, music and handshaking again
marked the landing of the governor.
The whole city was present and, as
some people remarked, the reception
could hardly have been more spon-
taneous and whole-hearted if the
visitor were President Wilson him
self, coming unexpectedly, No time

1ST DIVISION
SPITES FACE
COL. RICHARDSON SUGGESTS
ROAD FUND SUIT WILL
CAUSE TROUBLE.
JUNEAU CUTS Off NOSE
CHAIRMAN OF ROAD COMMITS.
SION SAYS STANDARDIZATION
TRAIL TO BE FIXED.

That the legislative delegation of
the First division has cut off its nose
to spite its face when it brought suit
to have the forestry road funds spent
almost entirely in the First division is
a statement that can be made after a
talk with Colonel w. P. Richardson,
chairman of the Alaska Road Com
mission this morning. Colonel Rich
ardson arrived last evening on the
Victoria and remained over to look at
the conditions of affairs in this dis
trict.
Before proceeding with the forestry
funds question it is better make haste
to say what will be received here and
in Iditarod with feelings Of the great
est pleasure, and that is that the Sc
ward-Iditarod mail trail will be i'm
proved this year for use during the
winter. The colonel is unable to say
at present how much work will be
necessary or how much money will Be
at his disposal but that some wo.:
will be accomplished on the trail is a
positive statement.
Now, for the question of the for
estry funds appropriation for roads:
At its last session the territorial leg
islature decided to divide equally be-
tween the four divisions of Alaska for
road work the funds received by the
territory through Washington from
the forest reserves. 1t is admitted
that the First division produced most
of those funds but the Legislature
came to the conclusion that all Alas
ka should have an equal share in AL
aska funds, which seems to be per-
fectly right, and the decision was ar
rived at to spend the money evenly
in all divisions. This would have

whole town en- fete Seward, the
Terminal City Of the government
railroad, gave Governor J. +. A.
Strong. and Mrs. Strong a royal well
come last evening notwithstanding
the fact that about an hour before the
arrival Of the Victoria no one had an
idea that she would bring the gov
ernOr here before the following day.
Wireless messages had been receiv-
ed during the day which were such
that they caused some confusion and
it was only between the hours of
seven and eight that word finally
came directly that the Victoria was
approaching the entrance to Resur-

Immediately the steamship Santa

steam out to meet the Nome liner

WOMAN SAYS
SHE MURDERED
DECLARES SHE is THE ONE
WHO KILLED WEALTHY
CATTLEMAN.

DES MONIES, July 13.-Mrs.
Pease, realty mans wife, has added
a new complication to the story of the
murder of the cattleman whose treas
ure is supposed to have been discover
I'd recently, by stating that it was
she who killed the cattleman. She
declares that the son of the cattle
man was spared and taken to the
house of people who brought him up.
Mrs. Pearce describes herself as the
daughter of man named William
Hedrick. At the time of the murder,
she says, three other men were also
murdered but the amount of loot Sc
cured by those murders was only ten
thousand dollars.

wALLA WALLA BOYS THROW
STONES AT LIBERTY BELL

WALLA WALLA. July I3.-Whiie
the Liberty Bell was passing through
this city today enroute from Phila-
delphia to San Francisco several boys
threw stones at it. While the act was
prompted by nothing more than a
boyish desire to do something wrong
the occurrence has received universal
condemnation and it is feared that
Walla Walla will come in for un-
enviable notOriety throughout the
country. Some Of the people here re-
gard the matter as hardly short Of a
sacrilege. 1t was the first act Of an
unpatriotice nature connected with
the journey Of the bell through the
country.

TO SEIZE U. S. CARGOES.

LONDON, July 13-Sir Edward Carson attorney
general in the new cabinet of the British government has
asked the government to coniscae all American cargoes
consigned to neutral countries as he declares all such
cargoes are intended for Germany finally The sugges-
ton has created something of sensation the Amer
lean government would surely object srenuousy to any
such interference with the countiys trade Carson is
being criticised severely for making such suggestion
without first having consulted his colleagues, and as ne
has many bitter enemies who protested strongly against
his inclusion in the cabinet trouble may be ahead for him.

EDISON WILL TAKE PART
IN DEVELOPING NAVY,
A Bureau of Invention Will Be Estab-

WEST ORANGE, July 13.-Edison
has accepted the invitation Of
Josephus Daniels, the secretary Of the
navy, TO head the advisory board Of
the proposed bureau Of invention
which is about to be established to
develope the navy. The boards
duties will be to encourage inventions
in gunnery and in every other line
and to be always ready to examine
all inventions and pass upon them.
Il is believed that by this means
greater improvements can be made in
the naval strength Of the United
States than by the mere building Of
sbips and more ships that invention
might render obsolete at any time.

had been given for a formal recep-
ton and if the governor had left on
the ship that brought him, Seward
would have reason to be regretful
but as he decided to wait for the next
boat going to Anchorage formal cere-
monies Of welcome were prepared
during his stay. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Sears, and, indeed, others also, I'm
vited the governor and Mrs. Strong to
be their guests during their stay and
the invitation Of Mr.. and Mrs. Sears
was accepted.
The program for today was a ride
by the governor and Mrs. Strong Ou'
the railroad line. At $50 this even
ing band concert will be given in
their honor and the governor will ad-
dress the people from the balcony OF
the Coleman Hotel just previous to
the concert. A reception in honor Of
Mrs. Strong for the ladies of Seward
by Mrs. Myers, wife of the mayor,
was to have been part of tOday's pro
gram but as the car will not return in
time, probably, this reception has
been postponed until tomorrow after
noon when it will take place from the
hours Of 1870 to 8.

real delight. When he was told that
