I M I I I' GOVERNMENT WORK BOOMS KN1K COUNTRY KX1K, Alaska, Juno 14.?The un precedented activity in business and mining interests centering in Kuik has received a new impetus through the coming of (Jeorge Watkin Evans, the coal milling expert and engineer, detuiled by the govermneut to super vise the mining of 800 tons of coal in tile .Matanubka coal fields. Mr. Ev ans is now superintending the cou I struction of two light-draught bouts, with which he purposes to undertake the navigation of the .Mutunuska riv er. if the experiment proves success tul, the UO tons of government sup plies, will be transported at least hulf of the distance to the coal fields on the river. This will greatly expedite the work, as well as materially reduce the expense of "packing." Mr. Evans estimates that the govermneut will spend, approximately $85,000 in the work of miuiug and transporting coal from the Mutunuska fields to tidewa ter?a circumstance that constitutes a large factor in the immediate future prosperity of Kuik. - CANADIAN CAPITALISTS BEGIN WORK AT KNIK KXIK, Alaska, June 14.?The Cold Itulliou mine, which was bonded to Canadian capitalists in April, has been taken over by the new operators, who | brought in a large consignment of sup-1 plies, horses, and men.

From the beginning the Russian government exerted all of its influence with all the countries con cerned in the interest of peace, and the French bankers, who had been pro viding the countries with funds in the conduct of their war against Turkey, shut Balkan credit off entirely. This was done at the suggestion of the French government, it is believed, and the government acted when implored to do so by Russia. o?o?o SITKA ESTABLISHED AS KING SALMON CENTER SITKA, June 17.(?Sitka seems to established as a king salmon center.

The do ' mand for tourist travel has also neces sitated making a change in the sail ing dates and schedule of the City of Seattle. The City of Seattle will sail June 20 aud travel to Juneau via Sit ka. The Jefferson of the Alaska Steam ship Company has also disarranged her sailing dates in order to bring the Seattle Chamber of Commerce ex cursion leaving Seattle June 21. The Dolphin of this line will probably re lieve the situation some during July and the big liners traveling to the Westward will probably continue to make their regular trips carrying round trip excursionists to the points I along the regular runs only. The Ad miral Sampson of the Alaska Coast Company will also carry many round trip excursionists. C. D. Dunnau, passenger traffic man ager of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company will accompany the first ex cursion trip of the Spokane this year, as usual. .Mrs. Mary E.

KNIK BOOMING BEYOND CAPACITY OF BUILDINGS KNIK, Alaska, June 14.?The pop ulation of Knik continues to grow apace, and we are credibly informed that Brown & Hawkins, the Seward merchants, will open a new store here before July 1. House room is at a premium, despite the building activ ity of the past winter, and a half-doz en more families are reported enroute to Knik from Seattle. The recent return of Hon. Milo Kel ly and Mrs. Kelly, from Juneau, was the occasion for a public meeting of the Knik Commercial Club, at which Mr. Kelly gave a very informing talk concerning the work of the lirst Alas ka Legislature. Questions asked by miners and prospectors present indi cated a keen and intelligent interest in the legislation enacted, chiefly the mining and eight-hour-day laws; and a hearty vote of thanks was extended to Mr. Kelly, on behalf of the constit uents he has so satisfactorily repre sented. Knik will celebrate our National and Territorial independence with a street parade and a fiine program at Community hall, on the evening of July 4. The possible taking over, by the government, of the Alaska Northern Railroad, and its extension to the coal llelds, is said to be responsible for a greatly reduced appropriation for road building, this season. However, $4,000 is available for this section, and Supterintendent of Road Construc tion Eide, of Seward, has taken sup plies and a dozen men from Knik to make needed improvements on the wagon road to the Willow creek min ing district. o?o?o WILL SOON COMMENCE SLUICING MILL SITE ?o-o?

It was to exempt an additional $1,000 from the income of a married man and the further sum of $500 for each of his children. There is many a man with a $5,000 income who has for his personal uses a smaller sum than he had when was a youthful clerk on small wages.?Seattle Post-Intelligen cer. o?o?o WISCONSIN WILL VOTE ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE MADISON, Wis., June 18.?The Wis consin Legislature will probably pass the bill submitting to a referendum of the people at the election in 1916 the question of woman suffrage.
