Juneau papers are lamenting the loss
to the town of a glove manufacturer
who has packed his plant and moved
to British Columbia. The government
refused to allow gloves made from
deer skins to be shipped from Alaska,
on the ground that it would be a viola !
tion of the game laws.
The steamship Dolphin recently car
ried from Alaska to Seattle a shipment

says an exchange. There were more ,
than 300 natives present. When paid
off it was found that Jim Lee for six
weeks fishing had earned $680, having
caught 8,500 fish in that time. The crew
was paid $25,000 for the season's work. 1

val here yesterday. The dispatch had
stated that the Slavonians had ohosen
four men by lot to do the deed, and 1
that the four were on the Cottage City.
Four Slavonians on the boat were
questioned, but soon convinced the
sleuths that they were on their way to
work in Eastern Washington. Tho ca
blegram is thought to be the outcome
of a plot.

The Seward Gateway of the 10th say?:
Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock a trag
edy occurred at Knik in which thr ee
men were shot. Sam Reinhart was kill
ed outright, Ira Isaacs lies in a critical
condition, and Bert Stewart was wound
ed in both legs. The shooting occurred
at Frank's roadhouee, but the cause of
the trouble cannot be learned.
Due to the increase in the number o
prospectors and miners on the Kusko- i
kwim river in Southwestern Alaska,
and its tributaries, a new shipping com
pany will be formed to operate between
Seat tle and the Upper Kuakokwim next
season. The first part of the route,
between Seattle and Good news bay,
to the south of Kuskokwitn bay, will be
performed by vessels of over 1,200 tons.
The second stage of t he journey, be
tween Goodnews bay and Bethel, a,
distance of 2S0 miles, will be performed
by power schooners of a couple of hun
dred tons burden. The third stage will
be iu Hat bottomed stern wheel river
steamers, from Betl.al to Tokotua, a
distance of nearly 600 miles. Th<- name
of the new company will be the Kusko
kwitn Transportation company.
The lditarod Pioneer say?: There is
no denying the fact that the announce
ment of the cabling of a brewery to
lditarod City is the cau-e of much gen
eral rejoicing. The news comes from
Fairbanks and is to the effect that the
Barthel Brewing company of that city
is shipping the plant of the old Arctic
brewery which they purchased last j
winter. The water here has not keen
all that it should be in quality, though
nothing can be said about the quantity.
For this reason many have found it
difficult to drink much water. The j
coming of the brewery will in a measure !
solve the problem, for the product of
the Arctic plaut has been universally ;
recommended for cooliug hot pipes, re
moving cobwebs and taking the stains
out of unimpeachable characters.
Housewives find it useful in keeping
the family together, and husbands have
employed it in the solution of difficult
business propositions. Taken with a j
cheese sandwich it may be found a de
lightful substitute for postum cereal.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Murphy were
among the passengers aboard the Cot
tage City which arrived from Skagway
yesterday says the Seattle P.- 1. When
last seen in Seattle, Mrs. Murphy, who
is nineteen years of age, was Miss Alice
King the daughter of Rev. G. Clement
King of Ballard. Now she is the wife i
of an actor, as the result of a romance
that began last spring aboard a Yukon
river steamer bound from Whitehorse
to Dawson. Mr. Murphy is a member
Df the Howard stock company which
returned on the Cottage City yesterday
from a successful tour of Alaska. The
company went north la9t May on the
Cottage City. Miss King arrived in
Skagway about the same time on the
Dolphin. She was going to Fairbanks
to visit a brother and by chance trav
eled on the same river boat as the the
atrical company. The trip down the
river occupied several days. She and
Mr. Murphy found each other much in |
each other's company. They fell in
love. Miss King continued to Fair
banks while the company stopped to
play at Dawson. When the company
reached Fairbanks the marriage was
solemnized.
On the tug Equator are two cats.
Baby and Darky, which are credited
with being the first to herald the run
of salmon up the (Jhignik river this
year. On the night of June 14 the two
cats ran about the deck and refused to
go to sleep, in spite of the multitude
of well-directed boots which were aimed
at them by various members of the
crew. The next morning the river was
full of leaping salmon.
The fiist through train to the town
of Chitina, on line of the Copper
river railroad arrived there on the 17th
drawing a long line of cars loaded with
building materials and supplies. This
event also marks the completion of the
railroad to mile 135, the most difficult
part of the road with the deep cuts and
tunnels. The remaining 65 miles are
ail graded. The road is also connected
with the Fairbanks trail, thus insuring
Interior Alaska quicker time, travel
and mail.
The August number of the Sitka
Th linnet contains the following an
nouncement in big, bold type: The
Sitka Training school has closed its
doors forever! On its ground which a
few days ago was dotted with happy
boys and girls, a cont raotor and force
of men are hard at work and by the
coming of another summer the Sheldon
Jackson school will stand leady to
carry on the work so uobly done iu the
oM buildings. The same paper also
says: For twenty-eight years the old
school has stood as the vanguard of
native education in Alaska, but the
tooth of time aud the unceasing tramp
of growing feet have worn the build
ings until they are no longer service
able. The new buildings which take
their place will have the capacity to
carry on the work so nobly begun. A
large school building with gymnasium,
a building for large girls, one for little
girls, two buildings for the boys and a
laundry with a central heating plant
are in the plans. Of the buildings to
be replaced by the new ones much has
been written, we will say again that the
Boys' Home, the original building of
the group, was built by Dr. Jackson in
1881, out of lumber he got from a
wrecked flsh cannery at Old Sitka. The
Girls' Home was built out of logs, old
and new lumber in 1881. The laundry
was made out of a lot of old sheds
about twenty years ago and equipped
with second-hand machinery. The ma
chinery has been patched until now
only the patches remain. Only four
pupils remain iu the school. All the
rest have been sent to their homes or
placed in good hands. The teachers
have in part gone elsewhere. Miss Kale,
Miss Dill and Miss Crockett will teach
in the public schools of the West Coast
states. Miss Doren is teaching in the
native public school of Juneau. Mr.
Beck and family have gone to his old
home in New York to enjoy a well
earned vacation. It has been nine years
since they have been in the States.
The other teachers are here looking af
ter the many things connected with the
change from old to new.
