Supplies of Government Party
Are Reported Landed at th*

Information lias been receiv
ed from the westward that Ed.
Wood, of the Copper River Dray
ing company, has about complet
ed the contract of packing the
supplies of the government parly
into the Matanuska coal field's.
Jt is believed he will have finish
ed the work in time to be a re
turning passenger on the Admir
al Sampson when she comes
from the westward this trip.
Mr. Wood has been using
twenty-two head of horses in the
work and as they are in good
■condition he will (have thdii
driven over the trail and avoid
jttie heavy expense; of shipping
them on the steamer. The feed
in the valleys at this seaso.i is
at its best, as the red top, na
tive grass, has ripened and is
equal In timothy hay for feed,
lie has been employing four
packers and il is very probable
they will elect to. come across
country with the animals.
II is said the work of Ed. and
his packers has been a revela
tion to the government party mid >
is another illustration thal the
government makes no mistake
when they secure the services of
men who are acquainted with the
country and know how to go :
about accomplishing the work.

GAYNOR DREW MORAL
FROM BULLET WOUND
—
As evidence that Mayor (iaynor
was a constanl though silent
sufferer from the effects of. the
wound intlicted hy his would-he
assassin three years ago, in re
ply to a friend's inquiry after
his health the mayor described
the trouble as a ‘lisli hook” in
the throat. In one of bis char
acteristic letters he said:
“M\J right lilitg, ' euniegaslric
nerve, and stomach have again
.taken it into their heads that by
combined and violent effort they
fcouhl succeed in casljug this
'(fish-hook’ out of my throat
which that bullet lodged there.
Hut as in their former occasion
al attempts they are succeeding
.in casting everything out except
the ‘lish-hook’ arid have* com
pletely done themselves and me
up in the bargain.
“These members of my body
which try to do this now and
then are .just as foolish as are
people you and I know who want
.something done all at once which
can only be. done gradually and
lit I Fe (by little. But they wont
have it that way. And so they
go, might and main to do it all
pi once by violence, with the re
sult that instead of doing it they |
do much harm and mischief and
exhaust themselves.”
Sampson In Cordova.
The Sampson reached Cordova
this afternoon but up to the time
of going to press had not I.. re
ported as leaving for Valdez., j
The steamship office reports she
has a quantity of freight for the
Cliff mine and this will be un- j
loaded if the weather permits. If
sin1 stops at the Cliff’ the steamer
will not reach Valdez until to.1
morrow morning otherwise she i
will reach here at I I o’clock to- j
flight.
Grasshoppers.
Two dozen hoppers hunter I
grass upon a western farm; they
played among the. garden sass,
and olid 0ml little harm.. On
pimble legs each hopped around,
and winked the other eye, and hy
the farmer they were found, as he
went creaking hy. The farmer j
went to town Hint day, and said i
to (irocer Ware: ‘(irasslmppers ;
are among my hay. I saw ten;
thousand there." Tim grocer!
quickly spread the news: “The i
hoppers are on deck. They ev
en eat the farmer's shoes and!
window hlinds, hy heck." The
printer of the Weekly Dirk did
justice lo I he tale; he let his bub
bl(iyg fancy work, and shocked
the cou'nlry pale. All o’er the
.country went the yarn about the
farmer’s woe1; of how the hop
pers ate his barn, and laid his
cornfields low. They swarmed
around in such a cloud that they
obscured fhe sun, and eastern
readers swore aloud, “that coun
try takes the bun.” Two dozen
hoppers on a beam surveyed the
country wide, and little did those
hoppers dream how Ithey had
OiultiplieKl. A few brief hours
they frolicked round, and sport
ed in the hay, and filled the air
with joyous sound, and thefn they
flew away; and still I hat husky
lie lived on, and traveled far and
Ifrar, and people said, “So Help
me John, that country’s mighty
queer.” WALT MASON.
