TO DOCK
 THROUGH BALL PARK

The surveys have been made and the stakes have been placed right across the baseball ground for the new railroad approach to the govern ment's new wharf. It has been de- cided to run the railroad straight out from point north of the present depot so that no curve, as that which the approach to the dock now has, will be necessary. This will also make the dock itself and the trestle work be in straight line, instead of the curving trestle which now exists. The En- gineering officials have not yet re- ceived positive information as to when the piles for the new dock will arrive.

Double Killing in
 Southeast Alaska
Man Shot Dead and Brother Kills His
 Murderer.

DOUGLAS, May 1O.-Peter Loren zen was shot and killed by a man whose name is believed to have been Al Huffman at the formers cabin on Gold creek, near William Henry bay, Sunday morning and within three minutes the murderer had himself been killed by Harry Lorenzen, a brother to the first victim.
 The following account of the ter rible affair appeared in the Juneau Dispatch of this morning:
 According to the story told at the inquest, and from the facts picked up by the officers who visited the scene, the man who caused the tragedy was undoubtedly insane. Louis Magg told the officers about the same man who killed Peter Lorenzen coming to his place before he visited the Loren zen Bros. cabin on Gold creek, near Jualin, and acting queerly. The stranger stated that some one was trying to kill him; that some person had cut hole in his tent and later had tried to poison his food. Magg believed him to be harmless and hum ored him in his different moods.
 The shooting in which the man kill ed Peter Lorenzen occurred Sunday morning. The stranger had appeared the Friday before armed with a rife and was apparently hungry and out of provisions. He said that he had left his boat at Endicott river, about three miles from the cabin
 As already told in the Dispatch, he shot and killed Peter Lorenzen while the latter was shaving. Harry Loren zen, in the rear of the cabin, hearing the shot, entered and saw his brother on the floor. The stranger had left for the creek to get a pail of water. He still carried his rife. On his re- turning Harry fired once and then shut the door, as the rife he used was not reliable. He threw another shell into the gun and on opening the door the man was standing there with the rife pointed at him, and he fired.
 When found by the officers the body of the man was lying just without the door He still grasped the rifle, with his finger on the trigger and the gun cooked. There was a loaded shell in the barrel and three other loaded shells in the magazine. Another empty shell on the floor of the cabin showed where the fatal shot had been fired which killed Peter Lorenzen, and the barrel of the gun plainly showed that it had been fired.
 
 In fact, the officers thoroughly in- vestigated and their observations, to- gether with the testimony given by Harry LOrenzen and other witnesses at the inquest, exonerated the surviv- ing brother in every particular.

DEATH
OF THE IRISH


 LONDON, May II. - George Der nard Shaw discussing the executions of the Sim Feiners in an open letter today says: "NIy view is that the men who were shot, were executed in cold blood. They were captured or they surrendered to the military au- thorities. They were prisoners of war and therefore it was entirely in- correct to slaughter them. l protest and the whole world, except the exc cutioners, protest such murder"

KATALLA, May 9.-lSpe,jaI Cor rcspoudeucc)-W. H. Dugdcu has ob- taincd a permit fom the Controller Bay Coal Company known locally as the Mcdonald Company, to mine coal in their patented claim on Boring lake. Hc now has crew of men at the mine getting the same into shape for actual work. after which he hopes to supply Ea,a,Ia and vicinity with Boring River coal.
 In 1907 r. F. Mcdonald expended . Sl75Oo0 developing a mine on this claim. Final proof was made on this claim. together with the two adjoin- ing ones, tbe purchase price paid to the government. and the final reeeip, for same received. Alter selling about l,5OO tons of coal from ,he de- velopmeut. Mr. Mcdonald made a coutrac, with the Eatana Company. then building a railroad at this place. to supply them with coal In 1908, at . the request of the Navy department Mr. Mcdonald furnished the battle ship Nebraska with thirty tons of coal to make a test. The report dated May 8. 1908 shows that the test was made . in competition with Pocbahontas coal the Mcdonald coal being used under one set of boilers and the Pocabontas under another set. Within che elaps- ed time only l5.2 tons of Mcdonald coal was used as against IS.7 tons of Pocahontas coal This resulted in the Navy sending Mr. Mcdonald a con tract to sign for a supply of 1000 tons Of his coal along side the navy collier in Controller Bay at S6 per ton. Before Mcdonald received the blank contract. Louis R. Glavis got busy and served orders on Mcdonald to mine no more coal at his peril. Since that time the mine has been lying idle, the machinery and equip ment rusuug away, and the buildings falling into ruin while the government . has been Investigating Last year a |. patent was granted for the claim on which the money had been expended. .
 When yr. Dugdcu gets the mine in working order again Eatalla people are hoping to get their coal for a lt- tie less than the S21 per ton they have had to pay for the last nine years. for British Columbia coal This with the Mcdonald mine just thirteen miles up. the valley, too.

Today's Poem

The House by the Side of the Road
There are hermit souls that live with
drawn
In the place of their self-content;
There are souls that, like stars, dwell
apart
In fellowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never ran
But let me live by the side Of the road
And be friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and the men
who are bad
As good and as bad as /.
| would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of the
road,
By the side of the highway Of life,
The men who press, with the ardor of
hope,
The men who are faint with strife.
But / would not turn from their
smiles and their tears,
Both parts of an infinite plan,
Let me live in house by the side of
the road,
And be friend to man.
| know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead.
And mountains of wearisome
height,
That the road passes on through long
afternoons
And stretches away to night;
And still l rejoice when the travellers
rejoice
And weep with the strangers that
moan
Nor live in my house by the side of
the road
Like a man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road;
1t is here the race of men go by;
They are good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Foolish and wise as am I.
Then why should l sit in the scorner's
seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road
And be friend to man.

Thirty Quail in Thirty Days

John c. Mann ,planked whitefish
commissioner for Michigan, is one
of the four men on record as having
eaten 80 quail in 80 days. He did
this in Chicago in 1885. He says that
Immediately following the feat all
sorts of weird eating contests were
pulled off or suggested. He tells the
story of one.
A Chicago hanger-on of sports
mems resorts was known to have
tremendous appetite and a gambler
named Mike Burke offered to bet this
fellow could eat three whole roast
chickens at a sitting. Joe Thomas,
another gambler, who had been hav-
ing a run of hard luck, knew absol-
utely that no man could digest such
on enormous amount Of food and he
took the bet. Joe was down to his
last hundred dollars and he put that
up, even, with Burke against his mans
claim. It took couple Of days to ar
range the details of the match, and
in that time Joe, with his last cent in
the hands of stakeholder, did not live
very high.
The match was pulled off in a
popular hotel. The eater sat at the
head of the table. Mike at his right
and Joe at his left The three roast
chickens were brought on and the
LaBrna of them was almost maddening

gun the publication of reproduction
of art masterpieces. One that at
tracted us was "a Woman Weighing

From this the reader is forced to
the conclusion that Vermeer paint

Cooking HOLSTERS
The delicate shellfsh are so well
liked that although in many states
they are hard to get, few ways OF
preparing them will not be amiss.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have them in plenty will appreciate
a new dish A medium-sized lobster
is the best to choose, those which are
lively and heavy in weight. HOLSTERS
should be killed Immediately before
boiling. If a pointed knife be run
into the back between the body and
tail shells, death will occur at once.
No lobster is of good flavor that has
been killed hours before it is cooked.
A fresh boiled lobster has a stiff tail,
which will if gently raised return
with a spring to its curled condition.
Care shuold be taken never to pull the
tail straight, as it will never respond
again.
Lobster Toast. = Canned lobster
may be used for this dish. Pick over
to remove any pieces of shell. Add
one dessertspoonful of warmed but
ter, red pepper, capers and picked
cucumber. Pound till well-blended
add salt. Heat and serve on but
tered toast.
Dreamed Lobster. - Remove the
meat from the lobster and chop fine
ly. Beat the yolks of two eggs and
mix with quarter of cupful of
cream, a few drops of onion juice,
half teaspoonful of salt, pinch of
red pepper and a grating of nutmeg.
Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter,
add the miced lobster, cook and stir
for a few minutes then add the
cream and other ingredients. Stir
until the combination thickens. Serve
on toast.
