ADMIRAL EVANS
GOES SOUTHWARD
Tarries Big £rowd of Passengers
from the Westward Including
Many Prominent Alaskans
The steamship Admiral ' Evans re
turned to Valdez from the westward
early this morning after having been
delayed several days in discharging
cargo at Anchorage. Owing to ice
interfering with the movement of *he
small launches and barges only one
hundred tons of freight were dis
charged the first day. Milder weath
er enabled the work to progress more
rapidly after the first day or the Ev
ans might have spent the winter in
Took Inlet.
The steamer called at Landlock
Hay and took on a shipment of cop
per ore. the first to be sent to the
-melter from the McIntosh property
there. The officers of the Admiral
Evans state that it was interesting to j
note the development along the coast I
of Alaska, with its constantly in- i
creasing number of ports of call. On .
the westward trip the Admiral Evans
fail*— at the uranite mine, at Hobo
Bay, and discharged a large quantity
of freight. The steamer also called
at Eidalgo Bay and received a ship
ment of copper ore from the W. A.
Dickey mine.
The Admiral Evans carried a ca-1
pacity crowd of passengers, hhving |
every cabin filled and nearly one hun- ■
dred in the steerage. Many passen-!
gers from Seward, when they found
they could not secure first-class ac
commodation preferred to go steer
age to waiting for the next steamer, j
Among the passengers were a num
ber of prominent railroad officials,
mining and business men of the west
ward and interior districts.

shipments as soon as shipping facili
ties can be improved. The Evans
also called at Fidalgo bay and took
two hundred and fifty tons of copper
ore from the W. A. Dickey mine.
Wm. H. Whittlesey, U. S. assistant
district attorney, came over from
Seward this morning on the Admi
ral Evans and will make Valdez his
home. He has been in charge of the
office in Seward which was recently
closed owing to the department’s re
fusal to increase the force of the
United States district attorney’s of
fice in this division although it had
ordered the establishment of an of
fice at Anchorage.
Paul Hines, who has been employ
ed in the Granite mine for many
months, was an outgoing passenger
on the Admiral Evans this morning
and will spend the winter at his old
home in Pennsylvania.
Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Hemple left on
the steamer Admiral Evans this
morning arvfl will make an extended
trip before they return to Valdez
next summer. They will visit the
San Francisco exposition and wit
ness the closing ceremonies and will
then continue their journey on down
the Pacific coast, and passing through
the Panama canal. They will include
Bermuda. Cuba and any other place
which strikes their fancy in their
itinerary, as they are on a vacation
and intend to enjoy themselves by
seeing countries somewhat different
from Alaska. They plan to return
to Valdez next June.
Mrs. E. H. Augustine, mother of
Mrs. M. Saling, left on the Admiral
Evans this morning for Seattle.
Attorney Tom West, who was a pa
tient in the Valdez hospital for sev
eral weeks, left on the Admiral Ev
ans for his home in San Francisco.
He came north as counsel for the
stockholders of the Alaska Northern
Railroad company in the case against
John E. and Frank L. Ballaine, in
volving title to a portion of the Sew
ard townsite, which was decided by
the court in favor of the Ballaines.
West was taken from a steamer three
weeks ago in great pain suffering
from an abscess and was successfully
operated upon by Dr. E. C. Dalton at
the Valdez hospital.

GIVEN HEAVY FINES
Five More Anchorage Bootleggers
Given Fines, One Sentenced to
Jail, Other Tried Tomorrow
Six of the seven defendants in the
last batch of Anchorage liquor cases
have entered pleas of guilty and have
been assessed fines or given Jail sen
tences. The remaining case is that
of Mrs. Dunlap, who elected to fight
the charge of selling liquor without
a license. Her case will be tried to
morrow before the U. S. Commission
er at Anchorage.
The defendants who entered pleas
of guilty to the charge of selling li
quor without licenses, and the fines
imposed by the commissioner, are as
follows: Ray, $100 and costs; Mrs.
Crawford, $125 and costs; Bateman,
$160 and costs; Murray, $300 and
costs. Stamey was given a jail sen
tence of two months.
The officials of this division are
determined to wipe out the illegal
traffic in liquor which attained such
proportions in the Anchorage district
owing to the land office regulation
preventing property owners from us
ing their property for saloons or oth
er illegal purposes.
Nearly two dozen residents of An
chorage have been arrested on the
charge of selling liquor without li
censes and in every instance the dis
trict attorney’s office has secured a
conviction. It was feared that as
the cases were to be tried at Anchor
age that conviction would be almost
impossible but such has not been the
case and the federal officials have ev
ery reason to be proud of the record
made in prosecuting the Anchorage
cases.
It is reported from Seward that
the land office agents have already
started proceedings against those
convicted of selling liquor to cancel
their land holdings in the govern
ment townsite and that sixty different
pieces of ground will be confiscated
by the government.
NOME DOG TEAM OF
HUNDRED AND SIX ANIMALS.
Probably the largest dog team
ever witnessed in the north or any
where else passed through the streets
this morning on its way to the steam
er Senator. The sight was one
unique, even in this land, where the
dog team is an every day utility and
the wailing malamutes flourish like
unto the bay tree of old, for this was
some dog team and was composed of
one hundred and six animals hitched
to a tow line of heavy manila rope
at the end of which was a heavy
truck from the Rowe tarns filled
with a bevy of fair ones. The huge
team was composed of the animals
purchased by Lieut. Haas for serv
ice on the war f.elds of France and
each animal was in the collar doin.
his best to shov' how he con 1 pu.l
before parting to return no more.
As the long string, fully a block in
length, passed down Front street,
practically every one turned out and/
the street had much of a holiday ap
pearance for a time.—Nome l>tu«c-i
HAD ST. VITUS DANCE
AND WAS THOUGHT CRAZY.
A man named Hedstadt was tried
some days ago for insanity at Kodiak,
but the jury in the Commissioner's
court found that we was quite sane
and that his supposed insanity was
due to nothing but the fact that he
was badly afflicted with St. Vitus’
dance. Complaints had been sent to
Kodiak about Hedstadt and the dep
uty marshal went over to the cannery
of the Aalska Packing company at
Uyak, where the man was employed
and brought him to Kodiak. It was
learned that whenever Hedstad start
ed to speak to anyone his head broke
Into a sort of volcanic eruption. In
many cases people went to speak to
him and when Hedstadt got in his
headwork they ran out of the door.
In two cases men jumped through
the window and one old native lady
is said to be running yet. Finally the
citizenry of Uyak got action and had
him arrested as a madman.
Before the gangplank 1b on the deck,
Joe is there your baggage to check.
He knows just where you want to go,
And his auto bus is not so slow.
When leaving Valdes it is just as well
To wait until you hear Joe’s bell.
He never yet has, missed a boat
But connects with all that aver floats.
Joe never sleeps day or night,
He does his best to treat you right.
