free timber uses granted the various operators for development purposes. It is expected that number of dredg- ing and hydraulic propei ties will be opened up in the spring, particularly in the Kenai River section which abounds in large areas of low grade gravel
 In the Prince William Sound region there was upwards of one million feet of saw-timber cut besides large quan- titles of other material used in the de- velopment of various mining proper ties under free use permits. On Cook Inlet sufficient piling and poles were cut under timber sale to build over sixty salmon traps besides the driving of docks and other improvements by the numerous canneries.
 It is of interest to note that the Al aska Spruce is being used extensively in the states for the manufacture of piano sounding boards and legs. The Ketchikan saw mill has made several shipments of first class spruce ium- Der for this purpose. The numerous water power possibilities in the Prince William Sound country are the sub jects for many inquiries in connec tion with proposed pulp manufacture and altho no names are obtainable fl i is probable that number of such wa ! ter power projects will be developed

HAVE NJ FEARS FUR SAFETY
 OF DORA

SEATTLE, Jan. 9-Inquiries at the office Of the Alaska Steamship Com pany in this city regarding the stem CT Dora, which is reported to be over due at Seward from Unalaska, re- veals that the officers of the company are not at all worried over the non arrival of the boat at her destination. They say that although a rather small craft, the Dora is staunch and sea worthy. and that her non-arrival at Seward is probably due to her being at anchor in one of the many harbors along the westward coast. outside of communication with the wireless or cable stations, awaiting for the subsi- dence of the storm which has been raging. and that when it is over she will proceed on her way to Seward
 The Dora left Unalaska for Seward December 27, and should have reached the latter place four or five days ago.

GREAT DEMAND FOR
 OUR ALASKA SPRUCE

It is learned that the local Forest office recently made a shipment of a quantity of first class seed of the local or Sitka Spruce timber to Denmark for experimental purposes. The seed was secured from the Prince William Sound region and is of the best quality obtainable. Several years ago sev- eral hundred pounds of such seed was shipped to various foreign countries from this section and the fact that Denmark has requested a sample for experimental purpoes is no doubt due to favorable reports received from the first shipment As climatic and soil conditions of Denmark are similar to this part of Alaska there is reason to suppose that the Sitka Spruce will be found adaptible, in which case, large areas will be reforested to replace the logged-off black spruce areas as we'll as raise the standard of saw-timber
 The reports from the Chugach Nation. al Forest for the calendar year ending December 31, 1914 show a marked ac tivity in settlement work as large numbers of chechacos are establihine homesteads within the Forest on the east shore of Cook inlet, Kachemak bay and Knik Arm.

S250,000 IN COLD ARR|VESFROM
 INTERIOR

Among the arrivals on yesterdays train were Bob Griffis, the veteran mail carrier of interior Alaska, and his partner, J. Haley, who made the trip from Iditarod with their ther dog team to Panama, having hauled over 1000 pounds of gold bullion, or about $250,- 900, which valuable express they turn ed over to stage company at Panama for through shipment to Chitina.
 This bullion also arrived in Cordova and was sent out on the Alameda this morning. It represented the last clean ups of the two dredges operated in the Tdtarod district by the Yukon Gold Company and Riley X Marston. Not withstanding the fact that the mail goes from Iditarod to Seward this win ter, it was thought inadvisable to send this shipment of gold over that route, as there are no wireless or telegraph systems along the trail, with which to keep in touch with officials in case of a holp-up or accident.
 Mir. G.riffs and Mir Haley were out going passengers on the Alameda, and both will visit their old homes. Mir. Haley will go to New York city, and after visiting there will return in the spring by way of the Panama canal and San Francisco, taking advant- age of the opportunity to vist the exposition, which will then be in full swing. He will return by way of the Seward trail ot Iditarod.
 MT. Griffis will visit his old home at Gloversville. N r., which he has not seen for many years. He will also re- turn in the spring. Bob" Grifls, as he is widely known in Alaska, is one of the real old-timers of the Nortland, having come to Alaska in the spring of 1889.

MISTAKE CAUSES STAMPEDE AT TRIAL
 OF NEGRO SLEUThS
Argument Followed by Off cer's Sudden Move Scatters
 Crowd-Jury Acquits.

Will Lloyd and Charles Lewis, negro detectives, charged with giving liquor to a minor, were tried before Justice of the Peace Lawrence Dixon yesterday afternoon, and were found not guilty by a jury.
 The case was taken up at o'clock in the afternoon. and was not finished until about 5:30 o'clock. Through out the afternoon a large crowd of whites and negroes packed the big room of the police court, and much interest was shown in the develop ments of the trial.
 Deputy Prosecuting Attorney E. w. Brockman and Attorney Creed Cald- well represented the state, while At torney T. Havis Nixon was counsel for the defendant negroes.
 Something of stampede was caused as the case was drawing to a close. the spectators evidently expect ing somebody to start shooting. be- cause they began running and crowd ing out of the courtroom. After At torney Nixon had completed his argu- ment, Attorney Caldwell is said to have insisted that he be allowed to again address the jury. Attorney Nixon objected, strenuously and Con- stable Clint Green interposed and an- nounced that he also, would see that Caldwell would not say word.
 "Just at that moment" said Con- Stable Green, later, "I started for the telephone. to send message for one of the jurors. Those niggers must have thought was. going to shoot, because they all started running"
 Several of the negroes who were in the courtroom announced after the affair was over, that they were moi the only people who expected Con- stable Green tostart shooting, because ttiay themselves had seen Deputy Constables Reidinger aud Glover also reach for their guns.
 Except for the scattering of the spectators, however, there was noth- ing to occur, and the jury brought in its, verdict of not guilty in less time than it takes to write about i.

The Jefferson County Negro Farm ers' Progressive association was formally organized yesterday after, dan, in State street, when about 30 q. the negro farmers of this section oi Jefferson county selected the follow ing officers:
 Dr. H. l.. Jordan, president William Clark, vice president Prof. G. Clark, secretary.
 There were number of talks made during the meeting, and it was made plain that the negroe farmers of the county are very anxious to be taught modern methods. that they may be in position to diversity and 10 live at home, as the white farmers do Particular attention is to be paid to crop diversification and to stock raising, according to the statements made by some of the negroes.
 The organization will meet twice each month. but special meeting is 10 be held Friday morning next, at 10 o'clock, and it is> hoped by the negroes that they will be addressed by one or more of the farm experts who will be in Pine Bluff at that time, in con- nection with the big farmers insti- ute which will be under way in this county next week.
 Anxious to Learn.
 "There are many negro farmers in Jefferson county who are very an- xious to learn the modern methods of agriculture" said pr. Jordan last night. Up to this time, the negro farmer has been without the aid of teachers of farming, either from the state CT federal governments, except such assistance as has been given them by the county agents, who, how ever, are kept very busy with the white farmers.
 Many of these negro farmers own their own farms. Quite number of these were at the meeting today They are all very anxious to learn to be shown. So far, they have learned much, but only from experience and by watching their white neighbors I am. of ,Fae belief that by this asso- citation, We may be able to arrange that more attention may be paid the negro farmers, who may be taught as the white farmers are taught" Dr. Jordan stated that yesterday morning State Demonstrati tion Agen G. w.
