Greatest Plague of the h. sects in History of the White
 Residents
TRAVELLERS WEAR MASK
Horses on the Trails Are Sufferers With Human Beings Who Are
 Tortured

That the interior and westward sections of Alaska are being visited this year with the greatest plague of mosquitoes and flies in the mem ory of the white residents, is the statement of Ross Osborne, travel ing agent for the Pacific Steamship company, who returned from the ln- terior and westward on the Admiral Farragut.
 "The old-timers of the interior say they never saw anything like the clouds of the pests which are swarming there this year." MT. Os- borne said, in discussing his trip "It is impossible to travel without netting and every few minutes one is forced to remove the netting and clear the bugs off in order to see Naturally when the netting is low cred, again there are numerous mos quitoes under the net and then the fun starts. It is continual round of pleasure to travel there this year, that is, pleasure for the pesky bugs"
 "From the time we left Caribou for Atlin we encountered the pests. The water was low in lake Tagish and we made the trip down the lake in row boats. The steamers could not get near the Caribou dock. Later when | returned and left Whitehorse for down river the water was again low and we were five days making Dawson, and the mosquitoes had the best kind of a picnic all of the time.
 "A few hours after leaving Fair banks coming out over the trail we encountered big horse flies, which have only been known in the interior in the last five years. The horses suffered something terrible. Within few hours after running into the flock of flies the horses would be covered with patches as large as a mans hand that would be absolutely raw If one rubbed a horse at any time they would be smeared with blood. This continued until the high land near the summit was reached.
 "At Anchorage ! again ran into the pests. While 1 was there man was brought in who had been driven insane and died from the effects of mosquito bites and l learned also that the women wrapped paper about their legs before putting on their stockings to evade the mosquitoes. ."Oh, it is a sweet section of coun- try, taking the flies into consider ation and [ don't want to start back right away" he concluded"

JUNEAUITE SAYS 70
 MEN ARE WORKING AT
 KENNECOTT AND 225 OUT

Not more than 70 men are work ing in the KennecOtt mines, 225 are still at the strikers camp at Black burn and 50 or 60 have left the country to find work elsewhere, quite lot of them are here on Gastineau channel" said A. l.. Mcdonald, who has been a resident of Juneau with his family for three years, but who had been working at Kennecott for a year or more when the men walked out. There has been no settlement of the strike" he continued, but conditions are practically as they have been since June 9th"
 Mir. Mcdonald whose family has re mained at Juneau will not return to l Kennecott, no matter what might be the outcome of the strike, but will seek work here His sympathies are very strongly with the striking min CTS, though he admits that both sides that if there had been tact ana fairness displayed by both sides al the time the strike could have beer settled without intervention of govern ment mediators.
 Miners Want Conditions Understood
 "All the miners now ask" said MT Mcdonald is that the situation be understood We have no objection to people going to Kennecott to worl if they go with the knowledge tha the strike has not been settled. 4 good many people have gone to ;h' mine believing that the strike ha' been settled. and when they ge there they are broke and have I' be fed from the funds of the striker at the Blackburn camp"

CHARTER Kill.
! Make Mccain Prisoner.


It was evident enough in my mind
that there were two elements of evil
aboard-liquor and McCann's wealth.
Either alone would have been bad
enough, but thus combined, they rem
dered our situation more than perilous
and I was facing this peril COM
paratively alone. Masters would doubt
less perform his duty, but his work
would keep him below, and he would
prove Of slight value on deck. Ny Inn
preston of Leayord and Olson was fa-
vorable enough; they were, undoubted-
~, the very best material on board ;
yet, from long association with the
forecastle, it was only natural that
their sympathies should be with their
mates forward. An efficient sea Off
Ger is not made overnight, and either
man might fail me at a pinch. As to
Bascom, he could never be counted on ;
while as regards Vera-but ut thought
Of her, the cold perspiratiQn beaded my
temples with horror Of what might
yet occur on board. No, the burden
was mine, mine practically alone. 1t
was up to me to strike first, to assert
my authority, and then maintain it.

reached this decision coolly and de-
liberately, yet with ne clear plan of
action in my mind. At that moment
Olson sang out some order from the
rail overhead, and could hear the
hustle Of the watch along the black
deck.
