AUGUST lil 1"°' DEVELOPMENT ON PENINSULA While all the re>: of Alaska is grow ing little note is lak* n of tlie rocky fog.lK*unil peninsula hut it isd«-\eloping also. Its salmon, cih! and other fisl-. erics show an increasing output an* nually and it gives promise of a r* - markable mineral yield. The liest evidence of the growth of population and business on the penin sula is the fact that tin1 steamer Dot a is no longer able to carry the freight ottered, i *n her trip this week she left freight on the Sew are dock al though siic had none for < ook inlet. Her passenger capacity is wholly in adequate. t>n every trip both ways this summer passengers have he* n piled over her like small Ih)Vs hanging to a bobsled. The Northwestern Steamship Company will undoubtedly be obliged next year to place a boat as large as the Santa t'laru n the run. Recent gold and copper discoveries on the peninsula have taken many men to that region aud the development of coal mines at Uhignik and ilerendeen bay are employing many snore. This stimulates both the passenger and freight traffic and Seward > becoming the supply point for the region. SEARCH WARRANT WANTED A consignment of goods liought in Chicago bv a Seward business house nearly three months ago has not yet got past Seattle. It cost a little o\ci half what Seattle would have charged ami that fact may entitle it to In* se questered in some Seattle warehouse. Detailed information of this circum stance will be furnished to the white washing committee of the Seattle chamber of commerce on application. The missing goods are simply follow ing the usual course of shipments pur chased outside the jurisuiction of the Spirit. Hoods Unighl in other cities are deliberately sidetracked in Seattle to pun sh the purchasers. And vet Seattle wonders why it is not loved in Alaska. If the Post-Intelligencer would like to make this the subject of one of its somber cartoons or dyspeptic editori als the way bill will be mailed to the corner of Fourth and Union. Richard Mansfield was generally re garded as the greatest American actor since Booth and Barrett. He was born ir. Heliogoland. North Sea. in 1857, but all his reputation on the stage was won after he came to the United States Recreated and played many notable stage characters. George Kennan, whose arrest on the charge of criminal libel has been se cured by Kx-Chief of Police Dinan of San Francisco, became famous fifteen years ago by his articles on Russia and Siberia, descriptive of Russian official barbarity, after extensive travels in the empire. Not long ago we were informed that Raisuli had been captured. Now we are told that he has captured the sultan of Morocco but it is not ex plained how the bandit broke loose and got into the kidnaping business again. Mr. Nan Patterson is going to sue Nan for divorce because she is dancing on the primrose path in Pittsburg with several millionaires. What does he expect of a woman when those Pittsburg millionaires get after her? The Tanana miners’ >trike may have reduced the output of gold but it has not checked mining litigation. Every Fairbanks paper tells of one or more new lawsuits over supposed bonanzas. When Secretary Taft was balled up in a train wreck he merely remarked “Bless me!’’ Some men would have said Hell, just as if they had run into it. The new emperor of Korea and his dad have cut their cues off. which may have been a concession to keep Japan from cutting their heads off. Mr. Bryan says Secretary Taft is a straddler. A man of Bill Taft’s weight had better sit sideways on any thing as thin as a fence. Uncle Joe Cannon says he is not an active candidate for the presidency. He couldn’t stand pat and run fast at the same time. Harry Thaw will plead temporary insanity next time. It seems to have been organized to last about fifteen minutes. SQUARE DEAL WANTED One of the obligations of the repub lican territorial convention which will meet in Juneau in November to elect delegates to the national convention of 190S will be to order some fair basis of apportionment for future conventions. The Southeastern Alaska politicians who assume to be proprietors of the party in the territory, in the call for the coming1 convention allotted the saint1 number of delegates to each judi cial division. This looks very fair to lhi* man who jumps at conclusions but when notice is taken of the fact that the Second ami Third divisions each polled twice as many votes as the First in the delegate election last .'ear it appears more like a game of grab. The basis of representation hereafter •dumb! be the republ can vote or the total vote. Nome of the cable news nowadays has the "Made in Seattle" brand very thinly veneered. Open Season I or Game The open season for wild game !»••* gins tomorrow. This includes moose, earihou. walrus, sea lions, deer, sheep, mountain goats, grouse, ptarmigan, plover, curlew, ducks, geese,brant and swan. It is unlawful to hunt earihou on Kenai peninsula until the game season of 15KKS. It is unlawful to hunt with hounds or with a shotgun larger than a Id-gauge, or other than one tired from the shoulder, or to use steam launches in pursuit of game. It is unlawful to kill females or year lings of moose, caribou, deer or sheep. It is also unlawful for any person to kill in any one year more than two moose, walrus or sea lions; or more than four caribou, sheep, goats or large brown hears; or more than eight deer; to kill or have in possession in any one day more than ten grouse or ptarmigan, or more than twenty-live plover, snipe, curlew, ducks, geese, brant or swans. CARVED THE CORPSE TO FIT THE BARREL Many old-timers arrived on the steamer Dora from the 'vest. In dis cussing events which happened years j ago along the Alaska peninsula many i gruesome tales are told, not all of which are creatures of the imagina tion. One old sourdough vouches for | this story: An uncanny event happened some years ago at a cannery, the name of j which it is unnecessary to print. A ! lot of Chinamen were employed then, j as now, to clean and can the salmon. The contract under which these Celes tials were engaged required the com pany to return them from whence they came, dead or alive, as the bones of the deceased must he returned to j China for final interment. Running by this cannery is a stream which has its origin in a mountain near by. This creek cuts a copper de | posit or ledge and the poisonous metal j contaminates the waters percolating through it, often dealing death to any j one assuaging his thirst from its | deceiving depths. One da\ sixteen of the heathens I curled up and died, presumably from j drinking the poisonous waters. The foreman was in a quandary as to what I to do with the remains, as no boxes were available in which to ship them ; to “Frisco. Someone suggested salmon j barrels would be a good substitute for | boxes. It was found that the barrels ; were too short to contain the entire 1 body >o it became necessary to carve I a corpse in several pieces. One of t lie i employes would take an inanimate, ; nude form, hold the head, the body 1 and limbs lying on a solid block of wood. Another fellow would take an ax and cut otT the lower limbs, thus reducing the corpse to a size which would tit the barrel. This accomplish ed, the remains were duly salted, and sent to the place from whence the victim had departed in life a couple of months before. SEWARD STEAMERS Santa Clara:sailed from Seattle 25th.

KAUFMAN BEATS MIKE SCHRECK By Cable to The Dally Gateway. San Francisco, Aug. J<> A1 Kauf man sent Mike Sell reck down for the count in the seventh round last night. Schreck claimed a foul blow in the stomach but the claim was disallowed. Kaufman outpointed the Dutchman throughout the light and showed great improvement. Dig crowds are attracted daily to the training camps of Joe (Jans and Jimmy Dritt, who will light Septem ber'J. _ __ Innoko a hunter’s Paradise Kd Stephenson, who was on a recent trip up the Innoko river, says that the stream is a hunter’s paradise. Ducks and geese are nesting along the river and in the neighboring lakes and marsh es in countless thousands. As the steam er moved along they were continually rising in black clouds on either side. They were almost as thick as the mosquitoes, and that is going some, for with the boat in motion and the smudges aboard going full blast they made life almost unbearable. As the stream is sluggish and not fed by any glaciers it is perfectly clear, thus en abling one to look deep into the water, which is alive with fish -juke, salmon, grayling and white fish.- Fairbanks Times. The Innoko river is said to he one of the greatest wild duck rendezvous in the known world. PROFESSIONAL CARDS L. V. RAY ATTO KN E Y - AT -LA W Over Bank of Seward E. E.
