NEW MOTOR FREIGHTER
FOR KUSKOKWIM TRADE
There was recently launched in Se
attle at the yards of Johnson Bros. &
Blanchard, one of the largest wooden
vessels built on Puget Sound for more
than ten years. While other vessels
are now under way that will exceed
her size, the Kuskokwim river, as she
will be called, is nevertheless, one of
the most interesting vessels ever built
on the coast, and especially so as she
will be powered with internal com
bustion heavy oil motors of the semi
Diesel type.
The Kuskokwim will operate be
tween Seattle and points on the Kus
kokwim river in Alaska, running as
far up the stream at Bethel, which is
140 miles up above Cape Newenlian.
It will be used entirely as a freighter
in carrying in supplies and bringing
out the products of this newly devel
oped section of the Northland where
so far mining and fur hunting are the
two principal industries. The new
freighter will carry on her first trip
this spring the first dredging outfit j
ever taken into that section of the j
country, and if that proves a success, j
some big development is looked for i
in this kind of mining operation.
The design of the Kuskokwim river
freighter is that of the steam schoon-1
er type. Her length is 150 feet and j
her beam 35 feet. She has her power ]
plant aft, cargo hold amidships and j
a raised fo'c’sle forward. She is a !
twin screw vessel, the power being •
furnished by two*Meitz & Diesel type, j
developing 150 horsepower each. The;
engines have three cylinders 14x18 !
Inches and are air starting and di
rectly reversible, and it is estimated
that the fuel and lubricating oil ex-i
pense of the boat will only be about;
$20 per day. The boat has a dead j
weight capacity of 700 tons.

VEIN' OhTf INNABAK
TO BE DEVELOPED
With a view of taking advantage
of the high price of quicksilver,'Wil
liam Martin, Alaska mining man,
left yesterday for San Francisco,
where he will purchase a small smelt
ing piant and hire a corps of ex
perts to operate u cinnabar vein re
cently uncovered about erghteeen
miles from Ashford, near Jtainier
i National Park says the Seattle Daily
Times of April 19. Martin bonded
the property a few days ago for
$75,000. His plant will cost about
; $25,000
The cinnabar is said to run about
10 per cent, quicksilver and the new
piant will treat about twenty tons,
daily. Quicksilver is selling at $3 a
pound.
“I expect to have the plant working
in less than thirty clays after it
reaches the property,” says Martin.
Martin is the lessee of the Alaska
Free Gold Property in the Willow
Creek district of Alaska, which has
been producing about $150,000 a
year for the last three years. The ore
plates about $40 a ton.
SAILING VESSEL
TO TRADE NORTH
Called into the northern route by
the great cargo movement that has
set in from Seattle to Alaska, the
two-mast schooner Halcyon, once the
private yacht of John D. Spreckles,
the San Francisco millionaire, and
later notorious all over the Pacific
as a smuggler, has sailed for Anchor
age. Cook Inlet, with 150 tons of
cargo says the Seattle Times of April
14. She was equipped recently with
100 horse-power Dook engine cap
able of developing a speed of seven
miles an hour, so that she will not
have to rely on her sails altogether.
The Halycon is the first sailing
vessel to enter the Southwestern Al
aska trade out of Seattle since the
advent of the steamships in that
route. She is now owned by Nor
wegian residents of Seattle, but. has
been chartered by J. P. Rudd, a well
known shipping man. Her cargo
consists principally of wallpaper and
plaster for houses to be built in
Anchorage.
Built especially for Spreckles, the
Tlalycon passed her first years as.
a yacht in San Francisco Bay and
adjacent waters. After Spreckles sold
her. she changed ownership a number
of times and then fell into the hands
of an opium smuggling ring, carry
ing the forbidden product from China
to the Hawaiian Islands. It is esti
mated that she smuggled opium to
the value of $1,000,000 into the Isl
ands during her illegal career. Gov
ernment vessels chased her all over
the midpacific but she always manag
ed to escape. She was purchased by
Seattle residents last autumn and
brought to Seattle from San Fran
cisco.
Wickedest Spot in America
Many visitors to the recent exposi
tions to Califonria who stopped in
San Diego, also took a look at Tia
Juana, Mexico, a litte group of one
story shacks, canvas walled and scen
ery fronted, that lay spraddled out in
the broiling hot sun just far enough
over the line to escape the legal re
strictions of California and the Unit
ed Slates government. Tia Juana
probably was—and is—the wicked
est spot on the American continent,
a sort of a last stand of the “gun
men,” sure-thing gamblers, “honk
a-tonk” keepers and just plain des
peradoes, who have been run out of
all other sections of the West. Opium
smuggling, gun-running, conducting
saloons with “win-proof” gambling
houses attached, hippodrome bull
fights, in which the tourist was separ
ated from $3 for the privilege of see
ing a fat bull bled to death, were
some of the manifested activities of
the place. The only person supposed
to have a legitimate place of business
in the town was a Chinaman, who
conducted a laundry, and he was re
stored tef the esteem of his fellow
citizens when it was discovered that
the laundry was merely a mask for
an opium joint.

The Rouss rienryi.
For 700 years evecy prince of the
house of Iteoss has been christened \
Henry, with a distinguishing numeral.
Out the task of identifying them is ren
dered doubly difficult owing to the ex
istence of two branches, each of which
Inis a different system of numeration.
The eider line begins the numbering
anew after each batch of Un> Ileurys.
whereas the younger line goes by the
centuries, numbering i’.s princes as they
are born from I. upward through each
complete hundred years. The territo
ries of the two branches comprise lit
tle more than 400 square niiies. divided
Into Kcuss-Schleiz-Gera and Iteuss
Greiz. For centuries the Montenegro
of the Germanic countries, both
I branches joined the German coufedera
[ tion in 1815. but the elder line ilteuss
Grotzi sided with Austria in 1800. and
the principality narrowly escaped be
ing incorporated with Prussia.—West
minster Gazette.
Spain as a Republic.
Isabella II. when thirteen years old
was declared of age by the cortes in
1S4H. and after a stormy reign of twen
ty-tive years was deposed by a revolu
tion which began in the licet on Sept.
18. 1808, and was joined by the garri
son and city of Cadiz and by nearly
a!! of Spain during the month. A pro
visiv.ial government was established
and Marshal Serrano was made regent.
The cortes voted fof a monarchy oh
May 21. 18(19. and after several offers
of the throne had been refused it was
finally accepted by Amadeus, duke of
Aosta, who was proclaimed king on
Xov. 7, 1870.
After an uncomfortable reign he ab
dicated in 1S73 and was succeeded by
another republic, which lasted for two
years, w’hen Alfonso XII., son of
Queen Isabella and father of the pres
ent king, was elevated to the throne.
Artificial Indigo.
Artificial indigo owes natch of its
.commercial success to an accident. Al
though synthetic indigo was first pro
duced in 1870. it did not become a sc- .
rious rival to the natural article ui^- ;
til a thermometer was accidentally ;
broken and the contents of the bull) j
ran into the heated mixture of napb- j
tlialene that was all too slowly being i
converted into phthalic acid, the basis ,
of artificial indigo. It was then ob- ,
served that the conversion became !
much more rapid, and from that day j
the use of mercury has played a big
part in making artificial indigo a com- j
men ial success. The accident occur- !
red after years of patient research, j
and it is now the boast of chemists !
that they are able to produce on a j
commercial basis a compound "exactly j
the same" as natural ludigo.—London I
Standard.
Frederick the Great'* Joke.
Among the embellishments which i
Ueriin owes to Frederick the Great the
“new italaee” is the most conspicuous, j
This magnificent building was erected. |
it is said, to show Frederick’s enemies j
that bis many wars bad not exhausted j
his exchequer. And further to show \
his contempt for the countries which
had sought to crush him at the top of j
the cupoia he placed a group of three
women dancing together, the figuring
representing Catherine the Great. Ma
ria Theresa and Mme. de I'ompudour.
The wrath of the two empresses was i
unbounded at finding themselves de- j
[lifted in such an attitude and such :
company, so Frederick was able to con
gratulate himself on a thoroughly suc
cessful joke.
Recognizing Book Lovers.
You may recognize the book lover as
soon as you glance at his shelves,
though they may be few. Some peo
ple. especially servants, if allowed to
interfere, marshal' books according to
colors, as they would like to buy them j
by the yard. Not so the book lover (I ;
mean the man who loves books for j
their contents). He is kind to his j
books and, knowing they have souls. }
wishes them to live happily together. |
He would not. to take an extreme i
case, sandwich "Bradshaw" between j
"Stones of Venice" and "Modern Paint
ers."—London Globe.
Tunnala.
A New York newspaper remarks that
"ferries come and ferries go. bridges
rise and bridges fall, but tunnels last
forever." There is a scientific truth in
the observation. Of all works of man
earthworks, plain earth mounds sod
ded over, are about the most enduring.
A properly constructed tunnel is essen
tially a work in earth and so nlmost as
permanent as the great globe itself.—
