Successful Meeting
A Press dispatch from Seattle states
that the meeting at the Alaska Club ou
Saturday evening, iu the interest of
the Alaska Home Railway, was an un
qualified success. The rooms held a
largo number of Seattle, men who
dominate tin* financial aud business
interests of that metropolis. Mr. F T.
Fischer, presided* and after explaining
the object of the meeting introduced
Mr. H D. Reynolds who outlined the
plans aud the work thus far accomp
lished. He paid tribute to the people
of Valdez for their great moral aud
financial assistanse, and urged that
the merchants of Seattle subscribe
libersdly for the stock iu the Home
Railway as it was a natural tributary
for their great commercial interests.
He stated that he did not desire to go
east to offer the stcck because Seattle
would obtain tlie direct benefits of the
road aud should assist in building it.
Regarding the material side of the
issue, he stated that the Bertha had
sailed carrying all grading tools, the
Jeanie had also gone north carrying
five miles uf rails, together with loco
motives ?aud the Santa Barbara was
also loading 200 tons of rails. John £.
Ballaine also spoke and declared that
Alaska had never yet received that re
cognition which was her right, and
mow was a good time to begin. Oliver
McGilvra and Judge MacKenzie both
urged that Seattle should do her full
duty as she got the direct benefit
Many pledges of subscriptions were
made before the meeting adjourned,
and a live committee was appointed to
solicit more. Asa whole the meeting
v,as a:i immense success. Another
meeting will be held in the Chamber
of Conimeifc'e tomorrow
The Katalla Herald, apparently lets
no opportunity pass to knock, and it
makes no difference whether the sea
son is real or imaginary so long as
material can be found. lu its issue
of Aug. 31, it has a front pager ‘‘Sea
Dogs as Knockers,” and goes after
Capt. Frank Moore and Omar J.
Humphrey, charging that these ca; -
tains abuse the port and the people
that live in Katalla, and decry both
Constantly. Nice leading that; But
wha‘. is th°?e to say when a steamer
reaches Katalla tu the early morning
and La - to wait until -1 in the after
noon before the first lighter comes
alongside and then before she is
loaded it begins to blew and the
steamer has to pull out; What excuse
when a captain lays 15 hours and never
eee^ a lighter. What when they lay
twu days and cannot put off either
passengers or freight. If they don’t
kick they are not buman, but just re
member the real kickers are the travel
ling public, who have othe.’ and more
important business, than being hung
up at Katalla, waiting for some one ou
shore to send off their floating wharves.
Get busy down there and give all the
captains otery facility, which wiud and
water wiil allow, and the grumbling
w'ijl cease.
Valdez is to be honored this winter
by the piesence of United States Dis
trict Attorney N. V. HarlaD, for this
estimable gentleman has announced
that it is bis intention to reside here
until spring, rather than to -return
