 The new Siberian company was or ganized and financed by nearly fifty residents of Seattle and Bremerton, including twelve oldtime Alaskans, the corporation being formed for trading purposes.

YEARS A RESIDENT, DIES
Saw Nations Capital Grow From
Village-Came to U. S. From

the ground

stated the land was too far out into
the country. K street, at that time,
was the northern limit of the city.
He not only witnessed the marvel
Gus growth of Washington in more
than three-score years of his life
here, but he also assisted in the
construction of all government build
ings.
Mr.. McLane was the father of eight
children. four of whom survive, and
he lived to see three great-great-
grandchildren.

morning at $50 o'clock at the family

BODY FOUND NEAR TRACKS.
Corpse Bore Identification Card of
Harold Kilburn Senior.

A Navy Identification card bearing
the name Harold Kilburn Senior was
on the body of a young man found
alongside the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad about fifty yards east
of the bridge over Bladensburg road
about o'clock this morning.
One leg of the man was broken and
his head and body SO badly injured
that death came almost the instant
he was injured. 1t is thought he was
struck by a train or that he fell from
one while on his way to or from this
city.
It was said at the morgue that the
man was poorly dressed, and the And
ing of two sandwiches in his pocket
suggested he was travelling when he
was killed. The name on the identi-
fication card also is on the records at
the Navy Department and the depart.
