WORK PROGRESSES ON PORTAGE ROAD SULZER. Sept. 11.? A crew of a dozen men under Superintendent L. T. Merry of the Alaska Road Commis sion, are making rapid progress on overhauling the Portage Road. The road is being straightened up and generally repaired, an extension on both sides will be made to deep wa ter, and the curduroy will be covered over with gravel. This will make a vast improvement in the degree of comfort derived by the public in us ing this highway, for while the cordu roy was solid enough, it was so rough that it was next to impossible to ride GO TO THE DREAM THEATRE ( Admission only 5c, 10c and 15c?Five v reels of pictures. 9-i-tf f KUPPENKEIMER Clothes ) at The HUB ; ver it. The tide flats at either end f the road have also caused much uconvcnience. and with the road ex ended beyond these there will be a ,Teat improvement. Williams and iubbard contemplate the installation if an auto at an early date, and this vill doubtless make the Portage an ren more popular route of travel, or it is not only a beautiful trip hrough the rough waters of Doxon's Entrance around Cape Chacon.? Ketchikan Progressive.) JEW AMERICAN LINE FOR CHINA TRADE IN SIGHT SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3.? A 'hinese-owned steamship company trill enter active competition on the >acific and fight for the control of he trade now falling into the hands if the Japanese by the retirement of he Pacific Mail Company. The first hip of the new line?a vessel with iuge freight and steerage accommo dntions?will arrive in San Francisco two months from now. The new company will be incorpor ated for 15,000,000, the money being subscribed by Chinese both in San Fsancisio and tne Orient. Later a government subsidy will be asked, it is said. On this side of the ocean, the organization work is being ac complished by the Chinese Six Com panies and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, according to Attorney John R. McNabe, of the former body. At several preliminary meetings the plan met with enthusiastic sup port by local Chinese and resulted in determining to Inrorporate when $1, i >00,000 was in sight. The pioneer ship in the new line will fly the British flag, acordlng to information reaching here from the. Orient. It will be one of the vessels now running between Hong Kong ports and ports in India and the Strait Settlements. It can accommodate but a few f>rst-cla38 passengers, but it will carry 10,000 tons of freight and j 400 steerage passengers. Later two or three similar boats will be added. These, according to present plans, will prevent a falling off in trade between China and Amer ica, until modern ships can be either purchased orf built. z SLINGSHOTS AND AIR GUNS ARE BARRED AT WRANGELL The Wrangell city council has de cided to abolish slingshots and air guns, according to the Wrangell Sen tinel.

PETERSBURG IS OUT AFTER A MARINE HOSPITAL The Petersburg Commercial Club had a busy session Wednesday even ing, a variety of matters coming up for discussion and action. The secretary was instructed to the write to several steamship companies an urgent request that space be re served for fresh fish shipments by all steamers making this port. This ac tion was necessitated by the fact that a couple of shipments had been pass ed up by steamers lately, resulting in heavy expense and much inconven ience to the shippers, Tho matter is also to be taken up with the com mercial bodies of Tacoma and Seat tle. It was also decided to correspond with Sitka business men in regard to the establishment of boat service, for passengers and freight between that point and Petersburg, it being report ed that the Sitka people have had such an enterprise under considera tions. If the reply is favorable it is the intention of the club to send a delegate to Sitka to arrange for co operation in the undertaking by Pet ersburgh business men. Tho need of a customs office in Pet ersburg was discussed, and Bteps ta ken to ascertain if its establishment cannot be brought about. It was pointed out that an office at this point would bo of greater convenience to the fishing fleet than at any other place in Southeastern Alaska, and also to shippers, and that the growing business will soon make it a neces sity. It was decided to again take up the matter of getting cable service for Petersburg in place of the present wireless service. After consulting with Sargent Stewart, the club will correspond with the proper authori ties. i ul' unui suujeci ui uincussiuu wua tho inauguration of a movement to ward securing the establishment of a marine hospital In Alaska.
