DEER HUNTERS HAVE FIGHT WITH WOLVES PETERSBURG, Oct. 29.—Frank PreuscofT and Mr. Dawson Tiad an ex hilarating encounter with a bunch of wolves on Friday of last week. They started from the PreuschoofT logging camp, at Beecher Pass, for a deer hunt. Before traveling very far they got into a place that strong ly resembled a wolf den—which it proved to be. Pretty soon a wolf head was espied in the nearby thicket, and then an other and then some more. They were practically surrounded by the beasts. Frank will swear to ten | wolves, but they appeared more nu merous at the time. When they had recovered from their surprise, the boys started the fireworks. One wolf was quickly shot dead and three were wounded. Then the varmints re treated a way, and were followed up and three more of them were killed. Dawson followed the pack on their second retreat to see if he couldn’t bag some more, and Frank started in to remove the pelts from those killed. Soon a series of howls came from around the den, and Frank located a wolf in the brush whose eyes glar ed utter disapproval of the “skin game” being worked on the family. He then grabbed his gun and lired several shots which evidently went wild; then climbed a stump—in order to get a better view. The wolf closed in and finally bolted right past the stump. Frank had the muzzle of his rifle within four feet of the wolf’s back when he fired, but for some rea ! son the bullet missed its mark. Although after this there was no further demonstration by the wolves in that vicinity, Frank didn’t care to finish the skinning job alone, so he went down to the camp and brought Hans back to stand guard until the pelts were secured.—Petersburg Re i port.)

C., Oct. 24.— Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane has announced to the news papers that when congress convenes in December he will urge the pas sage of the bill to create a develop ment board for the purpose of admin istering the alFairs of Alaska. He also states that he feels sure that it will ultimately be passed, although he expects that some opposition will be otrered to his plan. However, a number of the legislators who have the best interests of Alaska at heart, nave already expressed themselves a in favor of the bill. It is supposed that the bill as in troduced at the coming term of con gress will be much the same as was the old bill, which was shelved at the term ending last spring. If so, it will provide that the development board consist of five members, to be ap* pointed by the President, three of whom will be residents of the terri tory, to have supervision over every thing pertaining to Alaska except the making of the laws which govern the territory. As explained by the secretary the passage of the bill will have the effect of saving thousands of dollars to the government annually. The bill will provide that the headquarters of the board will be at Juneau, where it can work in active conjunction with the governor and with the Alaska legis lature, when the latter body is in session. The passage of the bill, however, will have more the effect of saving time than money. As things now * are, congress passes upon bills al most without number, those pertain ing to the development of Alaska being but a few of the matters brought to the attention of the leg is. lators, but if the board is created and given the power to do things p<*r taining to the territory as congre s would do them, a great deal of tone would be gained, for the board v ould have nothing to do other than to ad minister the affairs of the territory. The bill will provide that the pres ent functions of the Fur and Fisheries department, the Forestry department and the United States land office come under the jurisdiction of the board. The matter of titles to prop erty and patents would be handled by the board if it handled the affairs of the land office, while the conservation of the forests and the use of the lum ber of Alaska would fall to the lot of the board, as the official representa tive of the Forestry bureau. The amount of taxes which should be paid on the fish industry of the territory would also be one of the important •terns handled by the board. _____ Best Work Best Stock Best Prices Letter Heads'and Envelopes Business Cards Calling Cards Circulars, Pamphlets Prospectuses Check Books, Receipt Books Programs and Price Lists SEWARD GATEWAY PUBLISHING CO.
