MORGAN IN new
POWER PLANT
PROJECT

In an interview with w. P. Lass
this afternoon it was learned that ].
Pierpont Morgan interests had bought
into the Speel River Project and that
the transfer of authority was made
during his recent visit to San Fran
cisco.
AS announced by The Empire last
spring it was the intention of Messrs.
Kennedy and Lass to install an in
itial hydro-electric plant at Speel riv-
er this summer and to this end cor
poration was formed in which all out
standing interests were offered their
full share of the stock.
The matter was then laid before the
Department at Washington who ap-
proved the plans as outlined and
granted the corporation a permit to
develop the power. At the time liti.
cation was begun against the com.
pany asking that the entire property
be sold Mr.. Kennedy and Mr.. Lass
were completing final details for the
development of one OF the largest in.
stallations on the Pacific Coast. They
had already purchased ten thousand
horse power electrical machinery and
were actively investigating the supply
of iron and aluminium ores for use in
the electrical furnaces.
Mr.. Lass states that due to the liti
cation and opposition of the outstand
ing one-quarter interest, their plans
plans have been abandoned and that
the machinery and large generators
that had been purchased for the Speel
River Development are now stored in
San Francisco.
The plan of their associates, as
represented by the new board or di
rectors, will not be made known un
til after the arrival of their engineer
Mr.. Frank Drum, the newly elected
president of the Speel River Project
is also president of the Pacific Gas
and Electric Company, which is the
dominating power company for large
portion of California. This Company
has total liability capitalization OF

country for number of years. He is
regarded as an expert on
the physical features OF Alaska's map.

DETECTIVES ARE
NEEDED D n
THE TRAIL

Governor ]. A. F. A. Strong says the
United States government should hire
trained detectives and keep them on
the job until the perpetrators of the
many murders in the interior have
been brought to justice.
'The twelve or fifteen murders
which have been committed in the
Third and Fourth divisions within the
last few years are very good evidence
that there is murderer, or gang of
murderers at large in that section"
Dsaid Governor Strong, land 1 haven't
a doubt in the world that If trained
men were put on the job the guilty
parties would be found, and that all
of the crimes would be traced to the
same source.
cat the time of the finding of the
bodies on the Valdez trail couple of
years ago the government put two
men on the pay roll for over a year
without any results. Marshal Brenne-
man wrote to me at the time they
were let go and I wrote to the attor-
ney general and asked him to retain
them for a time longer. He replied
that the funds were exhausted and so
the men were dropped from the pay
roll and nothing had been accom-
plished.
"The federal appropriations do not
allow anything for the tracing of muir
derers, which is mistake. A good big
sum should be devoted to this work.
Now if the marshal wants to investi-
gate a crime of this sort he must
shoulder the expense himself, and as
result very little of it is done.
81 certainly think the government is
at fault in the matter and it should be
remedied with all possible dispatch"
he ended.
According to word received recently
from Fairbanks, the people of the in
terror sections are beginning to be-
lieve that the "Blueberry Kid" is dead
and that he was murdered by the same
party who murdered the rest of the
party on the Koyukuk several years
ago.
The kid" has been reported from
every section of the United States and
has been searched for for years but no
trace of him has ever been found and
those who have given the matter any
thought have decided that he met the
fate of Dutch Marie" and the rest of
the party.
When the governor was asked his
opinion of the formation of mounted
police force through the Territory, to
be patterned after the Northwest
Mounted Police, he said he was op-
posed to the suggestion.
"The expense for a police force big
enough for the entire Territory would
be prohibitive. We have the marshaIs
and deputies scattered over the terri
tory now, and a large police force in
addition would make an enormously
increased expense, without any par
ticular advantage" he said.

GOVERNMENT PLANS
NEW ALASKA COURT

According to word that has reached
Fairbanks recently, the government is
considering the advisability of estab-
fishing floating court for all of
Alaska. In other words, it is planned
to establish there fifth federal court,
which will travel about to the out
lying places.
The purpose of this is to leave the
regular court at home, so that legal
business need not be halted while
they travel about their respective
divisions.

James T. Barron, Funter Bay can

fish in Icy straits has slackened con-

time would be boon to the canneries
operating in his district.
"The red salmon run this year has
not been up to its previous mark, con-

 Several large projects for the inn mediate erection of houses in Bridge port are on foot! One of these, Astim- ulated by the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce, h0uslng department, is quietly taking tangible shape through the efforts ofsprominent business men. It is likely that about zoo houses will be built rapidly.
 Other movements, purely conner cfaI in their aim. have been projected by local and New York ca pitalfsts, with the idea of building wherever the property can be acquired.
 1s According to builders there will be a constant development of property in Bridgeport without cease during the winter. Many bricklayers now finish, ed working at the Remington Arms and Ammunition plants are leaving town because of slack This is at tributed to the fact that the majorisy of houses under construction are of the frame types, while a great short age of brick in Bridgeport has been encountered owing to congested trans portation facilities into New England.
