SURVEYORS IN RACE
TO WESTWARD
i
TO SELECT CANNERY SITE
FOR RIVAL FISHING
COMPANIES
From Seward Post)
When the Admiral Farragui sail
ed from Sewarti yesterday a race
commenced for a salmon cannery
site on the Bering Sea coast of
Doga. which may go down in his
tory along with the famous stam
pedes for gold.
The site was found last summer
, by representatives of rival packing
' cwspitaies Each without the other
knowing jt made preparations to
* locate the site next spring and
file on it.
Then the cews leaked out and
both compasses began emergency
preparations to beat the other fel
low to it by making a winter dash
into Bering Sea.
The site is estimated to be worth
from $3SJM0 to 50,000
Under the law a site must be
located, surveyed and formal appli
cation for patent filed with the
land office at Juneau. The first
man fo file has prior rights over
ail other claimants.
The rival salmon packers each
employed government land survey
ors and started them westward.
The actual contestants in the race
are H. H. Waller of the firm of
Eiibbeit £ Waller, and Alexander
Bradford. The latter represents
one of the largest packing com
panies operating in Bering, while
Weller is empoyed by a smaller
company just getting on its feet.
Waller left Seattle ahead o:
Bradford, stopped at Juneau, un
wound a little official red tape
and arrived in Seward on the Ad
miral Evans intending to sail west
on me Dora. But the Dora was
delayed by storms. Waller was
advised by cable that Bradford re
presenting the other packers, was
ea route on the Admiral Farrago?
and nag chartered a power boat at
Kodiak.
The stake being large, no ex
pense was spared and Waller cabled
=B *11 directions for a boat to char
ter. Xo-thing doing.
More cables and
.ooked like he would have to charter
the Admiral Farragu: herself to
beat his rival, for the Dora will
not get away until after the Ala
meda arrives and departs. Finally
however, Waller located a big pow
er boat at Seidovia which was put
nr* disposal by ** owner a*
Seattle.
Bradford with his assistants. Ed.
Hanon and William. Muceaster, ar
rived or. she Farragu yesterday and 1
sa led for Kodiak, where they will ;
board the schooner in which they
expect to make the trip to Unga.
Waller and George X. McMillan,
one of the owners of the concern : I
which Waller represents, boarded
the Farragu? here and will be ship
mates with their opponent* as far *
as Setdovia. They will make things
Hy wiser, they reach the Katekemafc
bay port and bend their hopes on
bmg able to get the power launch
out of winter quarters and get a
big head star, down Sfceliikoff
Strutts before Bradford gets away
fro® Kodiak.
When the parties reach Unga
i ey ill have to mush overland to
rite -iricg Sea side, locate the can
E£,y site and survey I? before start
ing back to Juneau.
It will fce a great race with many
nazards and a big stake in sight
for the winner who weathers the
February gales of the westward
passage and is firs? to reach the
land office.

ALL ABOUT DANCING
IMPROPRIETIES
AS SOME OF THE PEOPLE OF
PORTLAND. OREGON
CLASSIFY TT
I From the Portland Telegram) .
The young girl rise* to' dance. \
A* the and her partner melt into
position, her bare left arm creeps
up os hi* shoulder and carves a
roucd until it brushes against the
bark of hi* neck. In his left hand
he htwdt, not her other hand, but
her plump arm near the elbow'.
Th m* the >* drawn ap on her toe*
and close to him. A* they dance
their face* are almost together. \
She is crashed against his breast.
It looks like the final love scene bn
a pay. or the tableau shown on the
cover of a popular magazine.
This is the way the young people
of Portland dance. They don’t do
It in the dance halle and public pla
ce* because they are not allowed to
there. But they do h at several
of the exclusive community dub
houses and hotels.
Ty»ere is a city ordinance against
dancing in public in this pose. Ord
inance No. 27553 include* the ten
tevce: “Tic- lady in dancing shall
place her ieft hand on her part
,v t’n arm and ire on his shoulder
67 back.” The same ordinance pro
hibits "unde familiarity” and
“gross or vulgar” attitude*. This
applies to all dancing except in
in this fashion at cntb dancrt art
: homes. Therefore. girls who dsuw
lawbreakers
jj sire lawbreakers,
Svjre .»•' the c< kinuniti social
ebbs with club houses, have at*
| tempted to bar this position in dane
j tag. Others have taken action
f against certain dances, notably the
Charlie Chaplin one-step, which
they regard as objectionable when
j danced with the customary wiggles
| rtj swaggers. Others have tak
i en no action against anything. Par
; ents at one club, it is said, object
ed to the positiens ami steps of
the young people during one of the
dancing parties. Since the day of
parental control is past, however,
♦they could do nothing about it, un
• til one had the happy thought of
sending for a city official. He
came and the objectionable danc
ing was stopped almost as neatly
as if it had been a public dance
hall.
.. -
INTERESTING ITEMS FROM
FAIRBANKS NEWS-MINER
The only public hall at Fox. Al
aska, caved in not long age. It
is said that the people are now
wondering where the next dance
public meeting will be held.
On the train which came up from
Chena yesterday morning there "ere
ten crates of foxes, brought up
from Nenana by Peer Vachon and
C. H. Calhoun. Among the lot
which are very valuable and much
fhich are very vabafce and much
in demand at this time.
The animal* were brought up
from the Tolovan* roadhouse and
are all in good condition. It was
impossible to locate Mr. Vachon
last evening to find out whether
the animal* would be killed here
or shipped to the States alive.
The foxes were brought to Chena
with Calhoun* dog team. As the
team had to break trail most of
the way. the trip was a tough one.
The animals were closely crated on
the trip, and are reported to have
stood the journey well.
A Fairbanks merchant who re
cently returned from the Toiovana
reports that there are more than
two hundred prospector boilers !n
the camp and more are going in all
of the time. The miners are busv
prespecting their ground andanum
ber of new strikes have been made.
