STEAMER JEANIE HAD
ANOTHER BREAKDOWN
Special to The Daily Gateway.
Valdez, Nov. 2—Delayed in trans
mission On her outward trip from
Seward the steamer Jeanie ruptured
her driving machinery again Friday aft
ernoon at 3:30. twenty miles out of
Latouehe, and lay still more than four
hours to repair. The trouble was the
same as held her forty hours at Seward
—a broken valve pin. She had two
made in Seward and the first one put
in use lasted live hours. W hen the
second was installed the steamer pro
ceeded to Heat son's dock on Latouehe
island, where she overhauled the Port
land just pulling out, Pant. Downing
of the Portland agreed to take the
Jennie’s twenty-two passengers but
would not allow the Jeanie to tie up
to hi- steamer. Both proceeded to
Horseshoe bay and anchored, and then
another megaphone jangle ensued.
Cupt. Mason of the Jeanie refusing to
put off the passengers in small boats
at night or to allowMie Portland to tie
to the Jeanie at anchor. At 2 a. m.
the passengers were piled upon shelves
again to recline until morning. At ii
a. m. they were kicked out again and
transferred to the Portland which left
Horseshoe bay at s a. m.
A >torv is going the rounds of some
of the papers that volcanic ashes that
fell on the decks of vessels passing
the Aleutian islands on their way to
Nome contained gold. The ashes did
not contain any gold but the report
started from a practical juke played on
the colored cook of the steatr er \ ic
toriu. A miner mixed some very tine
gold dust with the ashes and panned
it in the cook - galley to tin* delight
and astonishment of the darky. As
s<ion a- the cook’s work was over he
carefully swept the ashes from the en
tire deck of the steamer and panned
it thoroughly, but did not, of course,
get a color. The passengers greatly
enjoyed the joke, as did also the sail
ors who were saved the work of sweep
ing down the decks.
Arguments against home government
for \laska are all along the same vein,
dip and spur. If we take them to In?
logical and sound, then we must be
lieve that the day will never come
when Alaska should have any other
kind of a government that she has
now. The distance from Juneau to
Valdez will never be les- than it is
no.v. and other points likew ise. < >f
course improved transportation facili
ties may make a slight change in re
gard to time, hut the great interior
country will -till bo frost bound a part
of the year. Distance is a stock argu
ment that cannot now. nor ever will be
answered. So make yourselves com
fortable brothers, we are up against
a condition.—Douglass Isldand News.
Drawn to the exact scale. Alaska, if
placed on top of the United States,
would reach from Savannah, Georgia,
to Los Angeles. California: from Mex
ico to Canada: and its range of climate
and physical conditions are even great
er. The strip of mainland and islands
fronting1 the Pacific ocean is as warm
in winter as Kansas. The Arctic coast
is colder than Duluth. Designate
which part you refer to as carefully as
you would in speaking of a place in
the United States: hearing in mind
that it is as important as it is to let
one know whether you mean Illinois
or Georgia, Minnesota or Texas.—Ex
The supply of Salmon this year is
short owing to the failure of the
Alaska red salmon pack. Last year
the Alaska red pack am mounted to
about 1,500,000 cases and this year’s
total will reach only about 1,000,000
cases. With the pack of pink average
will be brought to about 400,000 cases.
The Tannana valley produces as
much gold annually as the entire
South American continent.

DEATH OF PAUL W. LAWSHE
PROVES DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Judge Rowlett has received a letter
from the brother of Paul W. Lawshe,
who was found dead on his face in
shallow water, at the head of Resur
rection bay a few weeks ago.
The letter tells that the news of the
young man’s death proved a double
tragedy in that it practically killed
his mother, who took to her bed and
has not since revived. The brother
says she cannot survive the shock.
It seems he was a youngest son and
fnd been well educated and had no
need to he a wanderer from home.
The letter asks for minute particu
' lars and will be duly responded to.
! The brother is a prosperous business
man of Atlanta. Georgia, and his let
ter is the result of a communication
I fpom Judge Rowlett to his sister whose
| address was found among the papers'on
i the dead man.
Maud Muller From City
I Maud Muller on a'summer's day
Set a hen in a brand new way.
(Maud, you see, was a city girl,
Trying the rural life a whirl.)
She covered a box with tinsel gay,
Lined it snugly with new-mown hay,
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look tor a likely hen.
Out of the tlock >he selected one,
And tlien she thought that her work
was done.
It would have been, but this stubborn
hen
Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot!" and
then
Maud Muller came and in hurt sur
prise
Looked coldly into the creature’s
eyes:
Then tied its legs to the box. "\ou
bet
1 know how to make you set."
Rut still it stood, and worse and
worse,
Shrieked forth its wrongs to the uni
verse,
| Kicked over the box with tinsel gay,
And ignominiously Hopped away,
Then a had bov over the barnyard
fence,
Tee-heed: "Say, Maud, there’s a dif
ference
’Tween hens, you know, and it is that
tOne says ‘Ka-doot’ an’ one ‘Ka-dat!”’
^hen Maud recalled that the ugly
brute
She tried to set had said ‘‘Ka-doot!"
And ever since that historic day
She blushes in an embarrassed way
To think of the hobble she made once
when
She tried to set a gentleman hen.
—M. V. in Wichita Eagle
While the road commission party
was engaged recently in cutting out
the new winter mail road to the Yukon
they came upon some of the poles of
the old telegraph line, which is said
to have been laid just prior to the time
the Great Eastern laid the cable be
tween Europe and America. The in
tention was at that time to make tele
graphic connection between the two
continents via Bering straits and Sibe
ria, but the successful laying of the
Atlansic cable knocked the project on
the head. R. S. Biddings, one of the
J road parry, says one of the poles was
■ still standing when they arrived there
but was so rotten that it fell at a small
touch of the hand.—Nome Nugget.
Young Widow—O, Herr Tim, my lit
tle daughter is perfectly enraptured
I with you.
Visitor—Indeed, what did she say,
'then?
Young Widow—She said: “Look
there, mama, there is a man I should
like for a papa.”

The Man
S I met a man the other day
^ He had a Roman nose,
He certainly was well dressed,
For the goods were in the clothes.
I asked him where he got That Suit:
He answered me right'quick;
He said, ‘‘I got them over there,
’Tis Clayson does the trick. ’

It has been a popular theory that the
native Alaska Indian descended from
the Japanese or Orientals. They have
many of the racial characteristics of
the Japanese. But a scientist of the
Bureau of American Ethnology ad
vance a new theory. He holds that all
life originated from the North Pole
and migrated southward as the earth’s
urface cooled. According to this
theory, the Orientals are descendants
of the present Alaskan Indians.—
