IN PANAMA CANAL
WASHINGTON. April 21.—The mud
slides along the Panama canal arc re
ported raising the bottom of the water
way so rapidly that there is a string
probability that the Atlantic fleet will
not pass through the canal in July in
accordance with the contemplated pro

Statements given out by the Navy
Department today indicate that unless
the channel is cleared with unusual ra
pidity only the lighter draft vessels
will l>e able to make the passage, the

The canal officials have so far not

FRED WEILER
WRITES LETTER
(Continued from yesterday.)
Tacoma. Wash. Fell. 13, 101:"
Nome Daily Nugget.
i
Saw some fellow from Seward who |
said ther.e was (juite a hunch of peo- |
pie there, and with absolutely nothing
to do and nothing in sight, and that ;
most of them were cutting cord wood j
so as to get the wherewithal in order
to eat. Seward will he the terminal,
without any doubt, and the first move
will he made from there.
If Lane gets an appropriation of
$2,000,000 he will he doing well, and
most of this will be used to buy an op
tion on the Seward road, and any bal
ance will be used to finish the balance
of the survey which is only half finish
ed at the present time, so it looks as if
it will take several years before the
serious part of the railroad construction
will really onmmcnre. There are all of
ten thousand people or more waiting
for some slight move of some kind to
start them stampeding to Seward and
it will bo a pity if something gets them
off wrong.
Saw Archie Newton also and lie did
not have much to report only that
things were tough.
Saw Walter Gaffney over here at
Tacoma several times. Tie is staying
the winter at Kent waiting for spring.
Saw Jim Gaffney on the street today
also, he is dabbling in dry goods for
wholesalers. Newton is living at Kent
also. Of course I see many more
Nomeites hut as there is nothing very
startling to report f keep silent.
The war is raising blazes out here
nud causing many people to go out of
biz. and the hard times have not even
started. Where it will end God only
knows. There are many vacant stores
now and when prohibition starts, there
will he many more vacancies.
There is a rumor out here that some
scheme is on foot to make Alaska dry.
and when it is mentioned that the Al
aska legislature will take care of that
end of it, they are laughed at.
The Alaska legislative body appears
to he considerably of a joke out here,
and is only considered as a means of
getting some money in circulation,
such as salaries etc. outside of that it
would he just as well ns if they never
would meet. So no one can tell when
the lid will he slapped on, ns the
fanatic* are always working, and may
slip it over any time. Well will bring
this to a close, and It X can dig up some
live nows in San Francisco will slip it
to you.
In case you did not hear of it, I for
got to mention that Hugo Byers
brought up the news that a man by the
name of Redman or Redmond was
found dead in tied in a rooming house
in San Francisco. He was a partner
of Jack Ohrems on Ilexter creek and
also drove team for Billy Rowe. He
had about $4000 in drafts and also
$4,000 in nuggets on him. Hon’t know
any more details at present.
After 1 see San Francisco am going
up to Seward and if things don't look
very promising there, chances arc that
Nome will see me again. A fellow can
never tell. Of coarse if I see any kind
of a business proposition that looks
at all good might take a whirl at it. hut
I tell \ ou that if this war don't cease
pretty quick, there will be a terrible
smash out here.
Nome press is shy out here, guess
nothing doing (live my regards to all
my friends; r wish them all success.
