SCHOONER R4BLEKUM
 REACHES SEATTLE
HAS VALUABLE CARGO OF WHALE
 OIL AND FERTILIZER.

SEATTLE, Oct 4.-With 600 bar rels of whale oil and twenty-five tons of fertilizer, the schooner Harold Blekum, dropped anchor in the harboc yesterday, twenty-one days from Aku- tan, Alaska.
 Capt. Magnusen says that the sea- son in the north has been better than the average for whaling and when he left the station at Akutan more than zoo whales had been killed Among the number was one right whale of large size. Its capture was consider ed unusual, as they are now rarely taken in northern waters.
 The Harold Blekum is a trading schooner of 1S5 tons owned by the Alaska Commercial Company and sailed from San Francisco July for Kodiak, Akutan and other Alaskan points. On the way down from the North the vessel ran into a severe storm, which delayed her two days The slowest time made by the Blekum was after she entered the strait. She required four days to beat her way in after passing Cape Flat tery.
