ALASKA NOTES
Serious waste of fish by salmon can
neries in tho vicinity of Cook inlet is
reported by Aaron Erickson, game war
den. where, h« says, he sailed for two
days thorugh schools of dead salmon
The packers, according to' Erickson,
have been leaving the traps closed until
packed with fish, which spoil before
they can be bandied. The United
States district attorney’s office will be
notified.
Will ism Sulzer, ex-governor of New
York and ex-congressman from the
■am» state, upon reaching Seattle from
a visit to Southeastern Alaska, said:
’’I have been informed by a great man
and I believe it myself, that the climatt
of Southeastern Alaska is getting mild
er all the time. This is caused by the
Japan current, which seems to be get
ting in closer to the shore all the time
Not only is Southeastern Alaska chang
ing, but the whole country. I believe
that within 200 years there will not be
a glacier remaining In AlaskA."
Something of the speed with which
“justice works her decree" in the in
ferior of Alaska, Is shown by the fol
lowing news Item from Ruby: Deputy
United States Marshal Percy Q. Charles
Vho left Idltarod May 20 to go to Holl
kachuk to inestlgate the case of a na
tive woman who had gone evidently in
sane there, reached his destination too
late. J. M. Clarke, who stopped four
days with George Turner, the Holl
kachuk trader, waiting for the steamei
Delta to bring him on to Ruby, said the
woman was dead and burled before thf
deputy arrived.
The wreck and burning of the S. S
Bertha in Alaska removes from thi
northern territory a vessel that played
a most important part in the develop
ment of that rich land from the earliest
days of Its history under United State*
control. The Bertha was a sister ship
of the Dora, and was one of the fleet oi
the Alaska Commercial Co. at the tlmi
when that company largely controlled
the situation In the north and San
’■anclsco was the commercial head
quarters. The Dora Is tied up In thr
East Waterway at Seattle and wll
probably not return to commission
while the Bertha Is a total loss on thf
bleak shores of TTyak bay. Few of thf
old-timers are left.—Railway and Ma
rine Mews.
Two fires have broken out In the im
mediate locality of the Copper King
mine within the past week, one on Iasi
Friday and the other on Monday. Fore
man Hanson, of the Grafter mine, "hap
pened to be at the scene of the first Are
within a few minutes after It started
and when It was easily stamped out
The second was discovered Monday af
ternoon by E. W. Gibson of the mall ser
vice, who was returning from a trip
to Tahklni. As the latter fire was well
under way when discovered. Fire War
den Miller seat a number of men out
Monday night, who after hauling scores
of barrels of water, managed to extin
guished the fire which, at one time
reached to within a few feet of thf
buildings at the mine. There Is some
mystery connected with the starting 01
the fires at he Copper King.—White
horse Star.
The Skagway Alaskan says: Tuck
Flaherty has placed on exhibition al
the Board of Trade entrance the glani
roulette wheel which Is a relic of the
halcyon days of ’89. On the whim ol
its turning mhny a fortune has changed
hands. Tourists may look at it to theli
heart’s content, but Tuck won't let them
f
put any money on it because that would
be read naughty now.

\\ ork on the government railway is
progressing rapidly and the estimate ol
forty miles of completed road in 191E
made by the commission this spring
will undoubtedly be fulfilled, says Har
ry Miller, a lumbermen of Anchorage
Mr. Miller, with others, put in a saw
mill at Anchorage following the an
nouncement of the railroad route, anc"
while business in their line is nothing
remarkable Just yet, they expect con
ditions to improve. "Wo cut spruce
and birch, the native woods, but we find
a lot of competition from Washington
Ur, which Is shipped In. Our spruce
to compete with fir must be well sea
soned, and that, of course, takes time
Although Anchorage has the aspect o
a real city I would not be surprised tc
see the whole Unrig mov ed bodily t>
iViiiiunuska Junction, a new town ot
ihe route of tli« railroad. Aa the build
ings at Anchbrage are temporary, suet
- move would be easy.”
The cache of the Alaska railroad en
gineering commission at Seward, needs
replenishing. C. K. Dole, purchasing
agent, Is asking for bids on a list 01
groceries, from dessicated eggs to ro
quefort cheese. Here are some of the
things the railroad employee will neec
between August 15 and the end of the
fall season: Fifty flve and one-hall
tons of flour, twenty-five tons of sugar
twenty tons of butter, thirteen tons oi
oeans, seven and one half tons of coffee
seven and one half tons of bacon, three
tons of salt, one half ton of crackers'
2,500 cased canned goods, 1,000 bottles l
of extracts, 1,500 cases of condenses
cream, 25,000 bars of soap, ten cases o,
grape Juice, five barrels of ginger ale
twenty pounds of roquofort cheese, ten
pounds of paprika, one pound of thyme
Joseph It. Stuart, who came north tc
Alaska from Clarksvile, Tenn., in 1906
is wanted by his relatives 1 alive. 11
dead, proof of his death is desired. Joe
ls fifty years of age. Any one know I ro
of him should impart such information
to William Baum, Shelbyville, 111.
In a recent publication of the Smith
sonian Instlute, H. M. Cadell, in hi*
report of the Klondike and Yukon Bold
fields describes Skagway as "a wretched
little town with decayed wooden house*
and grass grown streets, the scene 01
many robberies, riots and murders al
the time of the gold rush, which th*
police authorities had neither tht
power nor energy to control. Skagway
is not, and can never be, of much us*
to the United States, except as an ob
struction to Canadian progress, but
m.ght be of some advantage to the vast
Canadian hlnderland less than 20 mile:
inland.”
Lawson.—Ole Brederlck, who is in
Dawson and is going up the Felly rivet
next week on the launch Hazel B. with
the party of prospectors, lost hi*
brother, Swan Brederlck, by accidenta
death on the Lelrd river. Ola had t<
make a trip down the Felly, and on re
turning to the camp found Swan dead
n his bed in their cabin. Swan evi
dently had been out hunting nearhy
and had discharged his gun acidentally
s< that the charge took etTect In the
bre'st. No other white men were known
to he nsiywhere in the district, and It
fell to the lot of Ole to perform the
sad funeral rites alone. He made a
coffin of boards which had been whip
sawed near the scene, and there burled
the body.
NAVAL LOSSES MANY MILLIONS
LIVERPOOL.—The losses suffered by
the contending navies at the end of ten
months of war, present some interest
ing points for speculation, affording a
comparison of the relative merits of the
various offensive weapons inthe nava:
struggle, and showing how costly it is
to tho countries concerned to indulge
in minor encounters.
Summarizing the losses under type!
of vessels Great Britain and her allies
have been deprived of the services ol
eight battleships, 14 cruisers, four gun
boats, six destroyers, 10 submarines, 14
boats and six armed merchantmen and
auxiliaries.
The losses of Germany and her allies
consist of one battleship, 23 cruisers, IE
gunboats, 13 torpedo craft, six subma
rines and 20 armed merchantmen and
auxiliaries.
Separating the losses under the va
rious causes, neglecting auxiliaries and
armed merchantmen, the torpedo has
destroyed 131,000 tons of allied vesaeli
tlie mine 60,000 tons, gunfire 27,000 tons
and 22,000 tons hnve been lost In varl
oun ways.
The German, Austrian and Turklsl
. Meets have been deprived of 13,000 ton;
of war vessels by means of the tor
pedo, 23,000 tons by the mine, 81,000 ton;
by gunfire and 23,000 tone from various
causes.
These figures show that England anc
her alllee have lost 2*0,000 tons of nava
fighting material, costing approximate
ly *100.000,000, while the Teuton am
Turkish losses total 140,000 tons, wort!
about *60,000,000.
In gunfire England has established e
long lead chiefly because the Genhar
ships at large when war was declare!
have been destroyed by this means. 11
the armed merchantmen and auxiliary
class the net registered tonnage of al
lied ships destroyed amounts of 30,00c
while the German. Austrian and Turk
Ish losses stand at approximately dou
ble that figure. Tha total financial los;
In this Instance amounts to about *15,
000,000,
