Drowned at Katalla
Parties who arrived from Katalla on
the lauueb Corsair report five men
drowned at that camp within the last
few days. Three of the men. whose
names were not learned, were lost
while endeavoring to get a lighter to
the wrecked schooner Martha Tuft.
Two otheis were drowned while en
deavoring to land in a Columbia l iver
boat at the amaiu railroad camp near
Palm point.
The preliminary hearing in the Key
stone canyon shootiug case is still iu
progress, although the prosecution
may rest its case this afternoon. The
defense expects to devote considerable
time to the introduction of testimony
and it will undoubtedly take the re
mainder of the week to complete the
case. Sixteen witnesses had been ex
amined op to last night. Great in-1
terest is being taken in the hearing by
the citizens, the court room being
crowded at all times.
‘
The Big Store
In ft few days the work of moving
the stock of the V. 13. & M. Co. into the
u#w store will be finished and then
Vftldez will have easily the finest,
largest store in Alaska.
The two floors and balcony are j
loaded with goods, nicely displayed in ;
the light roomy departments. On the
upper floor are the carpet, crockery
and furniture depattme.nts, with a
large work room in the rear near the
elevator shaft. Ou the balcony in the
rear is the shoe department and the
elore office, and the grouud floor will
be devoted to groceries, dry goods and
hardware, with the bank occupying
temporary quarters iu the rear.
The building is heated by steam,
lighted with arc lights, aud presents a
most imposing appearauce, being a
•tore that would be a credit to any
city.
Improved lighting System
Valdez now has a lighting system
which is the equal of any iu Alaska,
giviDg a 24 hour service. Fcr several
weeks work has been progressing on
the water plant at Solomon basin, and
it is now completed and iu shape to
furnish all the electricity that the
town can possibly use. For several
days the juice from the basiu has been
turned on at intervals while the line
was being tested and now it is iu shape
80 that there will probably be no more
interruptions of the service.
The old power plant has been carry
ing more of a load of lights than it
could properly handle and for some
time the lights have not been as good
as the company wished, but now the
service will be as good as any iu
Alaska.
Sealed proposals for carrying the U.
S mails will be received at the office
of the Second Assistant Postmasetrj
General until November 19th for ser
vice on Prince William Sound. Full
particulars regarding the route, to
jether with blank proposals, can be
ibtaiDed from the Valdez postmaster
>r from the Chief Clerk, R. M. S , at;

A meeting of the Seattle creditors oi
the Iieyuolds-Alaska Development
Company was held Oct. 11 in the offices
of the Siattle liaidware Comi any. It
was stated at the meeting that the
amount due Seattle wholesale houses
from the Reynolds-Alaska Develop
ment Company is 8-7,000. Fiank \\.
Baker, treasurer of the Seattle Hard
ware Company, in spe iking of the con
ference of creditors, said:
“We are hopeful of getting every
thing due us from the Reynolds com
pany. ihe amount due Seattle tirms
is small cuiiipaied with the assets of
the Reynolds - Alaska Deveh pined
Company. Nearly three-quarters of a
million dollars has been expended in
developing property in Valdez and
vicinity and the amount owed here
seems infinitesimal when one thinks oi
the value ot the property,”
