HUGE BUOY TO BE PLACED
OFF CAPE ST. ELIAS LIGHT
The lighthouse tender Kukui is at
Juneau loading coal preparatory for
her long trip to the westward with
the year’s supplies for the lighthouses
stretched along the coast to Unimak
Pass. This year several new aids to
navigation will be installed in the
westward section, including the large
light, a whistle and with a large
submarine bell under the water. The
bell is rung by the action of the sea
and can be heard for a distance of 9
miles by the Admiral Line boats,
which are equipped with submarine
alarms. On the boats not so equip
ped it can be heard for at least four
miles by listening against the side ol
the ship in the hold. The whistle is
also worked by the action pf the sen
and can be heard for four miles while
the light is an acetylene blinker and
is visible for 14 miles. •,
This big piece of steel will be float
ed from anchors at a point a half mile
south of the southeast breakwater,
and about two miles from the end ol
Cape St. Elias. It will be left there
and will be used as an aid to naviga
tion in conjunction with the light
house which is being constructed on
the Cape. The buoy is exactly the
same as the one on Barnegat Shoal
outside of New York harbor.
The Kukui will be away tor at
least three months on her westward
trip and supplies will be delivered at
all lighth'ouses, all buoys inspected,
and all blinker lights Inspected and
renewed for the year.
On board the Kukui is Captain E,
N. Trott, general lighthouse inspec
tor for the United States. He is In
spect the aids to navigation in Alas
kan waters, and Is also seeking infor
mation about aids, which are neces
sary to be installed in the near future
This is the first trip of Captain Trotl
since two years ago, when he toured
Alaska. He will go as far west as
Anchorage on the Kukui and will re
turn from there by regular steamer,

SAYS ALASKA WILL GO
DRY AT FALL ELECTION
The Portland Oregonian prints the
following opinion of Deputy Marshal
Bouse, of Valdez, on the license ques
tion in Alaska:
Alaska is going dry. This is the
prediction of John H. Bouse, chief
deputy United States Marshal of the
Third Alaskan division, who was a
guest of Sheriff Hurlburt yesterday.
Mr. Bouse and his mother arrived in
Portland yesterday from Valdez with
two insane persons for the Morning
side Sanitarium here.
The sentiment against liquor in the
territory, asserts Mr. Bouse, and he
points to the $8000 in fines that has
been collected in Anchora'ge, Alaska,
alone, since December, from those
who have been selling liquor illegal
ly. Further there is the action of the
government in revoking leases on
land where those who have filed the
claims have sold liquor on the prem
ises.
In the coming election next fall,
candidates i'n Alaska must elect the
wet or dry side, asserts Mr. Bouse.

strong vessel, 52 feet in length, and
equipped with a 45 h. p. semi-Diesel
