8ay It is Necessary to Have. One in
Prince William 6<>und to Aid
Mariners.
Secretary James Fish, of the Val
dez Commercial Association, has tak
en up with the Secretary of the
Treasury the advisability of station
ing a revenue cutter in Prince Wil
liam Sound with headquarters at
Valdiez The secretary of the Com
mercial Association points out the
many ship wrecks ih adjacent wa
ters and the large amount of ship
ping that, will be sent north during
the construction^,©! the government
railroad. The letter is as follows:
'Captain Commandant E. P. Bertholf,
Commandant Revenue Cutter Ser
vice, Washington, D. C.
' Dear Captain: This Association
'desires to bring to your attention the
jurgent necessity of the stationing of
ia vessel of the revenue cutter ser
vice in the waters of Prince Wil
liam Sound, Alaska.
In view of the fact of your inti
mate knowledge of conditions in this
section, it is almost unnecessary to
relate to you the many occasions in
the past, that a revenue cutter would
have rendered aid and saved life, but
we will mention the loss of the Ore
gon, Saratoga, Olympia, Farrulon,
Portland and the barge Hayden
Brown, as some of the vessels that
have been lost not far from Prince
William Sound.
The barge America, with 2,600 tons
of mining supplies and forty work ,
men from Seattle for Valdez, in toy
of the tugboat Tatoosh, is overdue,
and is believed to be in distress not
far from here. She was last sighted
by the liner Mariposa off Cape St.
Elias seven days ago and under nor
mal conditions should have been here
six days. With the tragedy of the
Hayden Brown fresh in our memory,
we feel keenly the need of a boat to
go in search of the tug and her tow.
The actual construction of build
ing the government railroad will soon
be commenced. The amount of ship
ping will increase by leaps and
bounds, and there is no doubt that
there will be plenty of justification
for the establishment of a perma
nent station of the revenue service
at Valdez.
Prince William Sound is so located
as being the logical waters for pa
j troll. The best sea otter grounds
are all in this vicinity, and it is im
j possible to ‘protect these valuable
! animals without a sharp lookout is
kept by the officers of your service.
Trustipg that you will give this mat
ter the careful consideration that Its
importance warrants, and hoping to
hear from yon, we remain.
Very respectfully,
VALDEZ COMMERCIAL ASSOCIA
TION.

CHICAGO, Apia 18..—Fire here
yesterday caused the death of 100
valuable horses belonging to the Un
ited Express Co., the Iosb of valu
able equipment and the loss to 100
families of their homes.
The fire spread so rapidly that on
ly a few of the more valuable ani
mals could be taken from the Btables.
The entire building seemed tb burst
out in flames-without a moment's
warning.
The upper floors of the building
were used for storage of wagons knd
these were also lost.
The families living near the barns
were driven from their homes as the
fire spread and many lost all their
possessions.
The Express company do not carry
insurance, preferring to place the
premiums in a sinking fund, as they
have buildings scattered in all parts
of the country.
The horses were all young and fast
stock used by the company in col
lecting express packages.

remarkable courage and judgment
and saved himself from a knockout
by keeping on the defensive. Hfs
vitality and recuperative' powers en
abled him to come back after each

While Murphy' showed as much
skill in boxing as Ritchie he lacked
