OF FORMER CORD0VAN IN
 SEATT TLE

Our former townsman, John c
 Scurry, father of Mrs. W. w. Coun cil, of Cordova, died in Seattle last week, where he has been a resident since 1871. Although MT. Scurry had been i'll for nearly a year, he herioc ally fought of the inevitable and had only permitted himself to be confined to his bed for week.
 Mir. Scurry was born September 2l, 1S45, in Lynchburg. Va, and was edu. cated at the University of Virginia and the Johns Hopkins University. He i served four years in the Confederate army, nj the Eleventh Virginia regi- ment of Pickett's division, Long streets corps, from Bull Run to Appomattox.
 He made the original location of the | Southern Pacific Railway over the | Mojave desert under General Dodge 1 and was one of the original group of locating engineers of the first trans. continental railroad of the Union Pacific.
 He located the Northern Pacific through the State of Washington and laid out the townsite of Tacoma for the same company. He was chief engi- neer of the old Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern Railway and located and laid out the historic old Columbia & Puget Sound Railroad.
 MT. Scurry was cashier and manager of the old Renton mine under Charles H. Burnett, and also cashier ana man, ager of the Northern Pacific under construction west of Spokane in 1883. He was city engineer of Seattle under the administration of Robert Moran as mayor, which included the stormy days of the Seattle fire, and made the original plans for the present Seattle water system and under his admins tration the work was inaugurated.
 He located the Alaska Central Rail- road (the present government line) and was engaged on the reconnais- sance work of the Copper River x Northwestern, the last 15 years of his life having been largely spent in Alaska. He also was associated with the location and reconnaissance work of the Western Pacific, the Grand Trunk Pacific and of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul Railway in the Olympic Peninsula.
 MT. Scurry was of an unassuming and somewhat retiring nature, but he was man of sterling worth and high character. He enjoyed the respect of all the old-timers who knew him. He could not countenance sham or pre- tense and was himself a real man, de- voted to his family and always loyal friend of Seattle and the Northwest.
 MT. Scurry located in Seattle in 1871 and later married Miss Nellie Nj. Terry, daughter of one of the early pioneers. Mrs. Scurry survives him and also the following children: Mat thew F. Scurry of Seattle, Charles T. Scurry of Aberdeen and Mrs w. w. Council of Cordova, and Mrs. A. Van Vechten of Seattle.

INSANE ASYLUM BE STARTED AT
 SEWARD

For years, Alaska, through it's repre- sentatives, has been asking that the insane people of the territory be kept at home for treatment At the last session the territorial legislature, both for the benefit of the insane them. selves and. incidentally for the bene. fit of the territory, formally made the request to the government that the unfortunate residents of Alaska who are sent outside to Mornngside asylum for treatment be kept at home for treatment under the eyes of their friends, and, now, two Seward doctors have taken the initiative by applying for a contract to take care of the territory's insane in future near this city. The doctors are Drs. Romig and Sloan.
 The care of the Alaska insane at the Morningside asylum costs the United States government the sum of eighty thousand dollars a year. The number of Alaska patients now in the asylum is 1S0, each of whom costs the government forty dollars a month ac- cording to the terms of the contract with the people who conduct the asylum Added to this is the cost of sending patients out. This cost is something like s4O0 to s700 case as guards must be employed and their fares paid On the whole. therefore the ottal expenditure would be more than s100.000 a year and this money expended here instead of outside would mean an immense advantage, 1t goes without saying, to the whole community. while keepng the patients here near their acquaintances and friends would insure sympathetic treatment Drs. Sloan and Romig spoke to Governor Strong while he was in Seward and it is said that the governor is entirely favorable to the idea of having Alaska's insane treated in Alaska. When the legislature took the matter up it brought charges against the present keepers of the ter ritorys insane which were very seri- ous-so serious, In fact, that it is not advisable to repeat them without hay ing had them properly substantiated. Similar complaints have. however, been heard in other camps of Alaska and the feeling has been that where so much smoke is seen there must be some fire.
 But, apart from all this, there is no reason why the insane of the territory should not be treated at home. The intention of Drs. Romig and Sloan is to apply for the contract and to build the asylum somewhere near the railroad shori; distance from the city. They are now arranging the financial end of the undertaking so that they may be In a position to show the gov ernment that they can build the asy. lum and handle the business of con ducting it in a perfect manner. The saving to the government by estab- fishing the asylum in a central place like Seward would be immense while every other consideration is In favor of the idea also.-Gateway.

TALK BY wireless
NOW TO HAWAII
Human Voice is Carried
1900 Miles on the
Latest Test
BMNG EUROPE'S
CAPITALS NEARER

NEW YORK, Oct THAT wireless
telephone communication from the
Atlantic Seaboard to Hawaii, a dis
lance of 1900 miles, is now an ac-
complished fact was announced yes
terday at the offices of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
Exceeding even in success the trans
mission of the human voice from
Arlington to Mare Island, Cal, a dis
lance Of $500 miles, accomplished
Wednesday night. il was stated that
subsequent experiments had resulted
in successful telephone comnunica-
ton between Arlington and the naval
radio station at Pearl HarbOr, Hawaii.
Tho distance over which this wire
less communication was held is
greater than that from New York TO
London, Paris, Berlin or Rome. The
voice had TO travel over the whole
Of the United states before it encoun-
tered the more simple wireless con-
ditions which exist over large bodies
Of water.
For tho purpose Of this test it was
stated that the receiving was done on
small wireless antennae erected by
engineers of the telephone company
bv permission OF the naval authOri-
lies In the Pearl Harbor station.
The experiments, 1t was explained at
the offices of the company, are the sue
cessful elimination of series of tests
begun last spring with an experimental
tower erected at Montauk Point and an
other at Wilmington. Del, $50 miles
apart
A representative of the company said
that while wireless telephony would
form an important adjunct to the pres
ent telephone system. in that it could be
established between points where 1t
would be impracticable TO extend wires
A. would not replace the present sys-
tom. The wireless. nc explained, Is sub
ioct TO interference from atmospheric
conditions and anyone with apparatus
could "lisien IN ON conversation.
One of the interesting features of the
tests on Wednesday was that in prac-
teal way the ability 70 connect wireless
