Provisions for Kataila
J H Rogers came up yesterday
morning from Kataila to make
arrangements for having some pro
visions shipped to that town lie
stated that when he left there was only
sufficient food to last the town two
weeks, and as the recent outgoing
boats were unable to stop to uuload, it
is probable that by this time provis
ions ars very scarce in the breakwater
city.
The Bertha took 80 tons of food
stuff, and if she cau succeed in un
loading, this will relieve the situation
fcr a few days, but as there are 2500
men iu the camp and little chance of
any steamer unloading during the
winter months, there is bouud to be
considerable suffering before spring.
It has been the policy of the Kataila
Co. to carry no surplus of supplies,
as they believed they could land
freight at any time The officers
have been repeatedly told that they
would have to lay iu a stock during
the summer to last practically all
winter, but they iguored the aaviee
and now will have to suffer the con
sequences, which may be ve;y serious.
Owing to the scarcity of provisions
all the laboring men who were shipped
from her* for Kataila will undoubtedly
be carried on to Seattle, even if the
weather is 6ucb that the vessels can
step.

It will be 40 years the 19th of this
month (October) since Secretary Wil j
ham H. Seward made the famous pur-1
j chase of Russian America and caused ,
; Alaska to become one of the posses
sions of the United States. Many j
writers who have visited the North
land in recent years have woven;
English words into beautiful sen
tences, and given grand samples of
word painting to express their admira
tion of the man who, with prophetic
eye, saw the possibilities of the coun
try which in the Russian language
meau9 ‘‘great land.” Statesmen,
writers and statisticians claim that the
real greatness of the United States be
gan with the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia; that the North would have
won out in the war of the rebellion
had it not been for the flood of wealth
that flowed trom the mines of the
golden state, etc. From this U is
ditticult to compare the possibilities of
Alaska; in fact, the matter is simply
beyond conjecture. Alaska, vast as
..be is, is yet a virgin land as far as
her iimneuse resources are known, and
generations will be born, reared and
become the fathers and mothers of
! other geueratio s, before the resources
of the couutry are all known and the
door of opportunity is closed tu those
who desire to reach out for the oppor
tunities which William H. Seward
made possible o»i that memorable 19th
day of October. 1867, when for the sum
I nf 67,200.100 he purchased the country
from Kussia and gave it. as a heritage
j to the boldest of the American
citizens —Ex.
