THE LEWIS GUN
Official condemnation of the Lewis m.i
•chine gun. extensively purchased for tlu
British and Canadian armies, is xpiesse*
in a formal statement issued by Secretary
of War Baker, assuming full responsibility
for the action of the war department with
respect to the much discussed weapon, am
directing that controversy among army of
iicers over it cease, says a Washington dis
patch.
The statement shows that the inspectoi
general was directed to investigate the whole
matter of the treatment of the Lewis gun
named after its inventor, a former army
officers, and a board of officers already ha
agreed with previous boards that the gun
was not suitable for extensive purchase lor
the army.
The inspector generals conclusions are
reported in the official statement The sec
retary states that he finds no official record
that Colonel Lewis ever offered his gun
in any way to the United States govern
ment; that the American Arms Company,
in 1913. made the only offer of 100 guns
at SI.000 each, with license for govern
ment manufacture on a royalty basis; that
tests of the gun were conducted in the
regularly constituted boards; that the Sav
age Arms Company, in April of last year,
wrote General Crozier. chief of ordnance,
expressing entire satisfaction with the work
of the last board; that the gun’s failure
to pass its endurance test caused its ex
clusion from field tests, and finally, that
'‘the records do not show any hostility on
the part of General Crozier of the ordnance
department toward the Lewis gun. but do
show that the department, by direction of
its chief, accorded the owners of the gun
every possible facility in placing it before
the testing board.”

| NEW BATTLESHIP DESCRIBED
The drradnaught Mississippi, which will
j be one of the world’s most efficient and
i powerful fighting machines, was launched
! at Newport News, Va., on January 25. Only
the shell of the great sea fighter took to the
water, but even without armanent and ma
chinery it represents an expenditure of
nearly $8,000,000. When she is ready to
take her place in the battle Heet the gov
ernment will have spent almost twice that
amount on her.
The Mississippi will be a duplicate of the
dreadnoughts Pennsylvania and Arizona, al
ready commissioned.
The new battleship will have a maximum
speed of 21 knots, will displace 32,000 tons
on trial and 33,000 when fully loaded, and
will have a length over all of 042 feet. Its
engines will be of the Curtis turbine type,
productive of an estimated horse-power of
: 32.000. Like the other latest battle craft,
it will be equipped with oil-burning boilers.
The main battery of the Mississippi will
i be twelve 14 inch 50 caliber rides, placed
j three to the turret. In addition there will
be twenty-two 5-inch. 51-caliber rapid-fire
guns, four 3-inch anti-aircraft rides, two 21
inch torpedo tubes, submerged, and the
usual saluting guns.

BARNEY TELLS ALL ABOUT IT
Many obstacles are overcome by the placer
miners of Alaska in their search for gold,
but it remained for “Barney” Walsh, of
Willow creek, in the Iditarod district, to
establish a “cold storage reservoir on a
mountain top in winter, thus insuring a
water supply for summer. To accomplish
this Walsh built several miles of fence to
impound snow which otherwise would be
swept away by the winter winds.
Walsh is an old-timer in the North, and
has been in every camp of note since the
Klondike rush. He has just arrived here
on his way Outside for a look around and
an opportunity to spend some of his “Sum
mit'' gold, that being the name of his claim,
which is so remarkable that it has been
given special mention in the Geological Sur
vey report of the territory.
The discoverer of the claim despaired of
working it because of the altitude, it being
on a bench high above the creek and near
the summit of a ridge.
Walsh remembered the snow fences in the
Rocky mountain sections. There the fenees
are built to keep the snow from drifting off
the mountains and into the railroad cuts.
He decided that something similar could be
used to keep the snow front drifting away
front a given area, thus insuring a water
supply when it melted in summer. The
scheme worked, and each year he has water
| for sixty days of sluicing during June and
July — Seward Post.

CONQUEROR OF MALASPINA
WAS VICTIM OF SNOWSLIDE
James Barclay, better known as “Jimmy
the Bear," who was killed recently in a
snowslide near McCarthy, was one of the
best known characters in Alaska, says a
coast newspaper. lie met his death while
doing assessment work on a mineral claim
on Bonanza mountain. Barclay is most
widely known as the man who first crossed
Malaspina glacier.
He was given the name of "Jimmy the
Bear” in the Washington state logging
camps in the early days. He was a cook.
He returned to the cook house after a trip
in the woods, while the men were away one
day, and as he entered the place there was
a loud “Woof, woof,” and a large-sized cub
bumped into him and rushed out.
“Jimmy” got to his feet. It was some
what dark in the interior. With another
“Woof, woof," a second cub knocked him
down and rushed out. Scarcely had he
reached his feet when the mother rushed
out. Then followed the male bear. “Jimmy”
continued to sit on the Door, and when some
of the men returned he asked them to please
look and see if there were any more bears
in the place.
The appellation of “Jimmy the Bear”
followed him to Alaska, and many knew him
by that name and did not know his real
name.
Barclay was the first white man to cross
the Malaspina glacier. He had mined in
early days on the Yakutat beach and con
ceived the idea that the gold, instead of
being washed up from the sea, as many
believed and still believe, came from the In
terior through glacial action. His compan
ions of the beach called it a crazy idea,
since short excursions into the ice fields
showed many dangers and difficulties.
Barclay, however, was determined. Few
men in Alaska knew how to live better “off
I the country.” He had been on long trips
on numerous occasions when all the grub
was gone, and lived on roots and game.
Barclay had a wonderful knowledge of the
nutritious qualities of many growing plants
and herbs.
The Mttlaspina glacier extends to the base
of Mount St. Elias, with occasional breaks,
as he found on his trip. It also connects
with the great Miles glacier, which extends
southward from the Copper river valley at
Mile 50 and in that section of Alaska are
the most extensive ice fields, reaching to
the Alaska range.
Barclay kept a diary of his trip, and it
tells a wonderful story. Many times his life
was in danger. He came across samples
of quartz which were extremely rich, but
so surrounded by ice field., that no one else
ever visited them. At one place he camped
near a lake. He was awakened front sleep
by a terrible roaring sound, and saw a
sight permitted to few men. An immense
lake stretching before him suddenly disap
peared. It was. one of the lakes that are
continually forming in the glaciers, only to
break loose when the ice gives way. A few
hours before he had been in the track of
this raging Hood.
Barclay had prospected nearly the whole
coast of Alaska.
WESTERN WAYS TOO MUCH
FOR THIS CHINAWOMAN
A strange domeste conflict, which had its
origin in the instinctive divergence of Orient
and Occident, was smoothed over Sunday
when Mary Seung, 51 years old. agreed to a
settlement of the divorce suit she instituted
last May against her husband, John Seung,
63 years old, a wealthy canneryntan of Se
attle and Alaska. The signing of a stipula
tion, which will be filed in court, was an
nounced by the attorney for the plaintiff,
according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of
January 6.
The case was not without sensational fea
tures. Before the divorce suit was filed Mary
Seung was charged with insanity, the com
plaint sworn to by Miss Jane M. Skiff, head
of the Chinese Baptist mission, in which Mrs.
Seung's stepchildren were students. First
committed to the asylum, largely through
the testimony of her two stepdaughters, Mrs.
Seung at a subsequent hearing was found
sane and freed. Then she started divorce
proceedings.
The stipulation between the couple, who
were married in China thirty years ago,
was not divulged in all its details, but in
cluded, it is understood, a cash settlement
of about $10,000. It was announced, how
ever, that John Seung had agreed to main
tain his wife in comfort for the rest of her
days. It is agreed that the couple remain
apart, the wife having the old Chinese aver
sion to divorce, not found among the new
generations. She is at liberty to return to
the village in China where she lived as a
bride. Her husband owns a large amount
of property in this village. She undoubt
edly will return, though not immediately,
her attorney said.
When John Seung left for America, more
than twenty-five years ago, his young wife
did not accompany him. In this country
he took a second wife, from whom several
years later he was divorced. He married a
third time, and by his third wife had five
children. The third wife died. The five
children grew up in Seattle and the bustling
ways of the Occident permeated them.
The years advancing upon him, Seung
wrote to China and sent for his first wife,
Mary. She came. But she could not get
along with her husband’s children. Their
vocabulary was made up largely of Ameri
can siang and their mannerisms were Ameri
can, and consequently to be disapproved of
by an orthodox Chinese mother. She could
not reconcile herself to the new surround
ings, and became despondent.
At the first insanity hearing two of Mary
Seung’s stepchildren appeared as witnesses,
and also as interpreters. Mary Seung could
speak no English. The commission pro
nounced her insane. She then engaged an
attorney, who procured a rehearing on ha
beas corpus proceedings. At the second
hearing she had her own interpreter, and
succeeded in persuading the physicians that
there there was nothing the matter with her
intellect. In the divorce suit she charged
her husband with cruelty and non-support.
Now that all legal difficulties are settled,
Mary Seung, assured of the ordinary com
forts of life, will go back to the home of
her ancestors, to find solace in the ways of
a hoary antiquity. Her five stepchildren
will remain with their father, going their
own Occidental way.

Anchorage Boy Dies in Seattle
Frank N. Chovin, aged 22, of Anchorage,
died at the Riverton anti-tuberculosis saui
tariuni, near Seattle, on January 27. He
was the son of Jack K. Chovin, chief of
police at Anchorage. He was a graduate
of the Lincoln high school, Seattle, and for
merly was a member of the Washington
National Guard, lie was a life member of
the Washington State Art Association and
a member of the volunteer fire department
of Seward. In 1915 he was named as al
ternate to Archie A. Strange for entrance
to the Annapolis naval academy.
Preparing to Use Alaska Coal
The Nenana News says that while prac
tically every section of Interior Alaska is
awaiting the coming of coal, and will con
sume large quantities of the fuel when it is
available, the war department already is
actually preparing to install coal burners
and arranging for the construction of build
ings for the storage of fuel. Advices from
the army post at Fort Gibbon indicate that
a large coal-burning central heating plant
will be installed there during the coming
summer, and the officers in charge of the
several telegraph stations along the river
have been requested to furnish estimates
>f the cost of erecting buildings for the
storage of coal. All of which encourages
the belief that the department will ba
among the first to purchase coal and will
be a large consumer. Sergeant Mulkins of
the local signal corps station is now busy
with the plans of a building which is to be
erected ou the rear of the lot occupied by
the telegraph office. The building will con
tain large storage bins for coal, and there
will also be room for a small stable, a work
shop and a place for the storage of sup
plies. There is a probability that a heat
ing plant for the office building will also be
installed come time during the coming sum
mer. Similar preparations are also un
doubtedly being made at Fairbanks, where
the wood problem has assumed very seri
ous proportions. Reports from that town
state that the creeks are being drained of
their supply of fuel in order that the fires
in town may be kept burning; and another
season probably will find the gold output
of the camp materially reduced unless op
erators can secure coal for steaming pur
poses.
Eastern Minister for Fairbanks
Rev. Wallace S. Mari-le, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Hamilton, N.
J„ and moderator of the West Jersey pres
bytery, accompanied by his wife, will shortly
leave that place to take charge of the Pres
byterian church at Fairbanks, Alaska. Rev.
Mr. Marple is to succeed the Rev. Mr. Bruce,
who has been transferred to Juneau.

A Trifle Chilly
What is said to be the coldest weather
ever recorded in Interior Alaska was at
Birches on the morning of JJnuary fi. The
thermometer registered 86 degrees below
zero. The previous low record was 82 de
grees below zero. That has also been re
corded at Dawson.
—O—
indicted as White Sl«ver
The only matter presented to the district
court yesterday was the true bill found by
the grand jury against Harry Againsky,
charging him in six counts with violation of
the white slave traffic act, says a recent
issue of the Juneau Dispatch. The indict
ment recites an instance of the defendant
causing to be transported Jennie Kline,
otherwise known a5 Babe Brown, from An
chorage to Juneau for the purpose of pros
titution. Another count charges that lie
caused his wife to be transported to Juneau
from Cordova for a similar purpose. Again
sky’s wife was known as Babe Brown, the
woman murdered a few weeks ago on Doug
las Island. Other indictments against
Againsky charged him with receiving the
earnings of his wife, who was practicing
prostitution in Douglas Island.
Liquor Shipments Barred
Rigid orders against the shipment of
liquor on the government railroad are now
in effect, even express parcels containing
liquors being barred, says the Seward Gate
way. A heavy traffic in liquor is said to
be going on between Seward and Anchor
age, and from now on it will have to be
hauler! all the way by sled. Previous to
this order the shipments were made as far
as Mile 40 by train.
Big Gold Dredge for Alaska
A Marysville, Cal., dispatch says that a
gold dredge weighing 1,000 tons is soon to
be shipped from Marysville to Seattle and
then to Alaska. The total freight bill will
be $20,000. The freight from Marysville to
Seattle will be $5 per ton and from Seattle
to the gold dredging fields the freight
charges will be $15 per ton. The dredge is
to cost, exclusive of freight charges, $210,
000. It is being made in the Marysville
shops of the Yuba Construction Company,
and when completed it- will be the largest
gold dredge to operate in Alaska. More
than 400,000 feet of Washington lumber
will be used in the construction of the
hull.
Lynx Numerout
A trapper near Saleh a recently caught
twenty-two lynx in one week. He reports
the animals unusually numerous this year.
Tough on Moose
Owing to the deep snowfall, moose are
reported to have had hard pickings on the
Kenai peninsula. The animals are in poor
condition and are hardly fit for food.
Anchorage Schools
can be made for their support, the Anchor
age public schools are being maintained by
funds supplied by the Alaskan engineering
commission. Special authority to expend
the money in that manner was received
| from the secretary oMhe interior.
To Elevate Her People
An Eskimo girl from Alaska, confined in
the Canyon City, Colo., penitentiary for
murder, is already planning to go back to
her people on the shores of Bering sea at
the end of her long term and teach them
modem customs, according to a recent news
dispatch. Miss Aplaruk, or “Carrie Fong
Ring,” is the first Eskimo prisoner the Col
orado penitentiary ever had. Here the gov
ernment is housing all federal convicts of
the western country, including Alaska. The
Eskimo girl understood no English and noth
ing of civilized customs when she arrived at
Canyon City. She seemed utterly dazed.
Her plight interested Warden Thomas, who
started her education. He had great diffi
culty in teaching her the first- few words
of English, but when these were first mas
tered the girl suddenly began to show keen
intelligence and a desire to learn the lan
guage and customs of the white race. The
warden believes that when her sentence ex
pires she will be one of the best educated
women who ever set foot in the prison.
YUKON RIVER MEN IN SERVICE
A Vancouver, B. C., dispatch says that
the first four Canadian officers to go to
Mesopotamia with the transport service are
all old-time British Columbia and Yukon
river men, known to thousands of people
who have traveled in the North and on the
interior lake waterways of British Colum
bia. All four left Vancouver last summer
with Captain Scharschmidt, who raised a
company of pioneers which was sent direct
to England as a draft reinforcement. After
having been in service for some time each
of the four men was offered a commission
in the transport service, and all are now on
active duty "somewhere in Mesopotamia.”
Each of them holds a second lieutenant’s
commission in the Royal Engineers. They
are: John Halifax, marine engineer, for
merly in the Canadian Pacific Railroad
Kootenay lake service; Gordon Mahon, cap
tain’s papers, and was mate in the Canadian
Pacific Kootenay lake service; Dugal Pat
terson, Yukon river steamboat captain, for
merly captain of the steamer Strathcona,
and Thomas Montgomery, Yukon river
steamboat captain, ex-master of the Hudson
Bay Company’s steamer on the Stikine river.
Captain Scharschmidt, who arrived in
Vancouver recently from Ottawa, has opened
a recruiting office, where be is signing on
men for the inland water transport serv
ice in the different fields of action. Pre
sumably many of the men will be sent to
Mesopotamia, but many men are now being
used on the river and canal system in
France, and more will be wanted. Captain
Scharschmidt is taking a contingent of 500
men, and has opened offices in Eastern
Canada as well as in the provinces. He will
go to Victoria to open an office there.
Speaking of the recruiting he is engaged
in. Captain Scharschmidt said:
“This service affords a gieat opportunity
for many men who are anxious to serve,
but have been turned down for the army
by reason of some slight physical defect.
The age limit in this service is from 19
to 56 years. The type of men most de
sired are those who have had some experi
ence at sea or in river or lake navigation,
either as sailors or engineers and firemen.
Gas boat men, men who can operate gas
engines, gas engine mechanics, longshore
men. and any robust ‘handy man’ will find
his bil'et in the inland water transport.”
As men are enlisted they are sent for
ward direct to England in drafts of ten or
twenty or more. They will not be uni
formed until they arrive in England, though
on pay from time of enlistment. It is
Captain Scharschmidt’s expectation to com
plete recruiting his 500 men soon. Appli
cations in considerable numbers awaited his
arrival.
A WAR HORROR
Josephine Barthelemy, aged 20. killed her
baby. Today she stood acquitted of the
crime by a jury of Frenchmen, and was
applauded by her compatriots, says a recent
dispatch from Paris.
The reason was that Josephine’s baby had
a German father. “That is why I killed
it,” she told the jury. Her story is one of
many which have been heard in France
of girls attacked by soldiers, and of unwel
come babies.
The girl's lawyer appealed to the jury
which tried her for infanticide with the
plea, “Would you condemn this girl for
stifling the life of a child of one of those
who killed France’s sons and violated
France's daughters?"

SOME INSIDE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE KUSKOKWIM
“The impression prevails that the next
big placer stampede in Alaska will be to the
Kuskokwim valley. A recent strike was
made on (juin Hagak creek, where a miner
took out $800 in ten days. Two natives
assisted him. Good strikes also have been
made on Canyon, Bear and A ruck creeks,
in the same section, about eighty miles up
the river from Bethel.”
This statement is attributed by tbe Seat
tle Times of January 14 to Dune in McMil
lan, who was sent to Bethel by the bureau
of education to teach the natives, and who
had recently arrived in Seattle on his way
to the East. Some of his pract cal joker
friends, hearing of the recent order or rec
ommendation that it was advisable to get
married for the Alaska service, passed the
word quietly around that McMillan was look
ing for a wife, and he has bad a number of
applications. These ranged from a widow
who wanted a mortgage lifted to a young
miss looking for adventure.
“It is against the policy of the trading
companies in the Kuskokwim valley." con
tinued McMillan, “to have any news of
strikes get to the Outside world. I know
very little about mining, but I believe that
the country some day will support a great
population. The natives and Laplanders are
doing splendidly with their reindeer herds.
“Besides indications of placer gold, there
are other minerals. Duncan McDonell has
a cinnabar mine 125 miles up the river
from Bethel. He was offered $300,000, but
is holding it for $500,000.”
