BISHOP LUCCOCK IS
DEAD IN WISCONSIN
ST. LOUIS, April 4.—On Satur
day, April 1st, occurred the death
of Bishop Naphtali Luccock of the
Methodist Episcopal church at La
Crosse, Wis.
It will be remembered that the
Bishop, accompanied by his daugh
ters, made a tour of Alaska last
year and stopped over in Ketchikan
' one Sunday, where Bishop Luccock
preached in the M. E. church here.
Bishop Luccock was elected as
one of the Methodist Episcopal Bish'
ops at the General Conference of
that church in 1891, and assigned,
to Helena, Montana.
GREAT NORTHERN
AGENT RETURNS
REPORTS A PROSPEROUS YEAR
THROUGHOUT THE STATES
AND ALASKA.
A. S. Dautrick, Alaska agent for
the Great Northern Railway, with
headquarters in Juneau, arrived
from a vacation in the States this
morning and will be in town for
about a week before continuing to
his home.
"The transportation business is
at the top notch,” said Dr. Daut
rick, to the Progressive-Miner this
: morning. “The over seas trade is
the greatest in the history of the
world. Nothing approaching it has
: ever been done or even dreamed of.
; The men who own ships or can get
charters even,' are becoming the
Croesus of the age. From rates.
1 lingering around S6 a ton, two
years ago they have jumped from
-520 to ST5 and not enough ships to
! move the offerings at these extra
ordinary rates, and when it will end
no one is willing to predict. In one
case the Russian government, in
urgent need of a vessel to carry
a cargo of powder to Vladivostok.
, offered one of the Alaska companies
to buy a ship, outright, and give
it back to tl^e original owners after
its return to Puget Sound. It is
| almost inconceivable.”
It naturally follows that the
western rail lines are moving the
greatest tonnage in their history,
but. unlike the water lines are not
making an unusual amount of mon
ey out of it because their rates are
fixed by law. A very severe winter
prevailed throughout the entire west
and. for a time car shortages were
very serious, but this is over and
the business moving as usual.
As to Alaska, you know without
rny reiterating it, that the volume
of business is growing tremendous
ly. The travel to the Territory
ths year will be the greatest in its
history. I have been engaed in in
structing some of our own agents
this winter in the matter of hand
ling the people and trying to give
them a better understanding of the
■ country and particularly Impressing
on them that we are not a curio
shop, but a portion of the United
States, from which the business
with the States will probably reach
a hundred millions this year.”
FISH TRAP CASE.
The case of the Northwest Fish
eries company against Perry Jen
kins et al. in which a temporary
restraining order was granted on al
legations that a fishtrap site had
been jumped, will be tried at the
Ketchikan term of court to begin
