kI37ka Tourist raEel

If reservations from the Fest for Alaskan trips continue in their present trend Seattle probably wl receive the largest influx Of tourists that has been rccor'cd for many vears says the Post Inttll gcncer of June l The opinion of steamship men seems to be that the European war is responsible to a large extent for this condition, while the publicity that has been given Alaska in the East for several months past prob ably has had ts good effect. Two of the steamship companies have sclI ali accom- modaticns for the first two trips to the Northern country, while the others gre op- timistic regarding the outlook. While the Alaskan vacation trips in tie past have largely been merely coastwse journeys, a decided change is perccptibla in the reser- vahons this season, as many of the tour ists have arranged for Interior trips cover ing great distances and extending over Q period of several we / s As we'll the ship ments of household goods into Alaska woul indicate that its popUlation will be increase. pcrccplibIy by the incoming of hI10escek CTS The midnight sun. the glaciers anl the truly excellent fishing and hunting prove magnets to the tourist, while n. constantly improving industrial an.I agrl cultural conditions are perpetual invita- tion to the future residents of the country. It wouli be difficult to imagine country that could offer greater inducements to tha hunter and angler than does Alaska To the big game hunter the Kodiak bear, a well as the long nosed grizzly, present a challenge The territory abounds in moose caribou, mountain sheep, mountain goa. and deer, to say nothing of the foxes, wiII game birds and fresh and salt water fish. About the midolc of June the wonder of the midnight sun will be viewabIa from many of the points of Alaska, and the pres ent activity of the IIIiamna volcano pre- scnts a wonderful spectacle. Each fresh eruption causes tons of ice to crash f.nm the sides of the large glaciers, and tin ..ctacle Is one long to be remembered.

Along the trai! across the slough which leads doWn the river bank one of the gloves he had worn wa- found. It was twisted into a r,l. shortly afterward the searchers found the body.
 4 messenger was sent fer George lloA- man, who, acting as special deputy marshal. went to Bear creek and summoned cor cners jury, consisting of ". !. Fisher fore man; J. A. Davidson. Jacob Miller, Daniel Bryce, Pete Hanjgsman and Robert Plum mer, to appear on May l5. The jury a. sembled was sworn in and took the testi- mony of two witnesses, examined the body and rendered a verdict that death was due to drowning or exposure.
 A coffin was made from whlpsawed lum- Der and the remains laid to rest on a high point of ground not far from his cabin. At the head of the grave was placed a slab, in the top of which a neat cross was fitted, and which bore the inscription:
