CLEAR OF SIBERIA, SAYS
 JUNEAU MAN:

The following letter to the Juneau Empire says:
 Why all this "con" talk of'a rush 10 Siberia next Spring is more than I can figure out. Your article re- ferring to the occupation of Siberia by the Allied troops of Eastern Si- beria is a sure bunk to those poor suckers who join any Organization for prospecting, developing Or in- vestlng capital in a foreign land. I know whereof speak since I have roamed the Siberian coast from Petropovlosk, which is the capital of Kamchatka, to Koluchin Bay and that constitutes a far longer coast line than our Alaskan coast. It is the only port of entry for all yes sells. There is absolutely no drift wood on its shores, and no coal to be had unless imported. The coun- try is rich in minerals, furs and fish Large tramp steamers visit Anadir Bay every Summer, and put up inn mense quantities of a delicious red salmon, which are not found on this coast. There are only two known placer deposits and they are good ones. On account of the snow not disappearing till late in July and sometimes in August, it leaves a very short season for the transient prospector. Do the projecting par ties "kide' themselves that they can invade foreign land and set up Camf in their own ways and GUS toms, trepass on the century y-old' hunting and trapping grounds Of the Natives, breeds and halfbreeds of Siberia (an citizens of Russia) without causing strife and discon- !, tent among them? Most all the | able bodied Natives along the coast have served in American whaling vessels since 1870. They speak fair | ly good English, and are pad, troublesome bunch, entirely differ ent from our hospitable Alaskan Ma tives. I have lived amongst them for three months at time, and l have made a good many trips along | the coast The Natives there Are aided and abetted by the willy Cos sack officials, who are stationed a long the coast.
 Well, here's hoping that all able bodied Alaskansl stay in their own pack yard and develop it. It needs it. Let that 2O,0O0, Get-Rich Quick Wallingfords rush to Siberia, and bet Mir. Editor, home made Kabler, that in the Fall of 1919 there will be 1899 damphools come back and say, T told you SO" The remaining guy will go "nuts'' and take to the hills.

the great difficulties of transportation at the present

There is great possibility that the national regatta

Usually the date has fallen late in August This year
it is likely to early in July. 1t is felt by the
authorities that it might be a good idea to combine
the bigger classic with the peoples annual regatta at

necessary, shortening the usual programme
