SOURDOUGHS OF ALASKA
MSAPTOLATED IN RAILROAD
according to this story;
!
A Story appearing m The virent fhvid* i
published in Denver, from the pen of “Jack I
JungmeytT," and prut out from Seward, has |
enough of truth relative the attitude of
the Alaska sourdough toward the govern
merit railroad to 'remove b from the class i
of fiction, hut at that it would seem to do ;
an injustice to tlie old-timers on the coast
who viewed with concern the era of aedn
omy in expenditures introduced by the rail
way commission. It is as follows:
“The SevVfwd-hairbi.nks government rail
road is hated by most of the people if is
being'built to berefit Rwetically every old
tini* -Alaskan In this section sneors at it.
Its builders are being reviled, and the curi
ous thing is that the grubstakcr, small miner
and dnlinaty business -man is even more
Vituperative than the agents of the big ;
interests that see Alaska dipping-from their'
hands
“The reason is that the United States j
railroad is being economically built. There j
is no lavish expenditure; no waste; no back !
pickings.
‘'Many of the old-timers hereabouts ex j
peeled to wallow in comparative wealth, j
easily drained from the government Coffer- :
Merchants find they cannot dump any old
thing into the commissary at top prices. !
Merit is demanded of the employes, Kurd ;
work and efficiency of the station coutrac- ;
tors, and square dealing of the purveyors |
furnishing supplies.
“Hie appropriations given the engineering :
commission, these seekers of -a soft thing
have learned, is not a jK-rk barrel.
“The dine out of Seward and Anchorage,
so far as I can learn, is being built oti a
strictly business program. The reconstruc
tion of the Alaska Northern, now the Sew
ard division of the road, is being pushed
through by R. J Weir, engineer in charge
under the estimate. Thu same is true, so
far ms 1 can learn, of the Anohuvnze divi- .
don. in charge of Lieutenant Meat*. Ihe j
general contractor the middleman ot rail j
road building lu.s been ehniiii.ited re. tin-j
project, the goveiuuncmt engineers letting ;

“In the decnnntg dajs ol liie oi l A .okh ;

"All this hatred is going to be pow-rfully j
retlectrd at Washington in an endeavor to
retard and muddle the completion of the!
Sewan 1 Fairbanks road.
“Every visitor of consequence to Alaska j
this summer has been till' d up v.:Ci it in ,

greedy activities. They ere organizing the '
little ‘sourdough’ dissatisfaction into a for- j
midable volume for their own purposes. [
"If the Alaska engineering commission ;
had been extravagant; if they had muddled i
the building of the railroad so as to dis- j
courage further government projects of this
character, those who now hate it so cor
dially would have fallen on the -commis
sion’s neck with gratitude.”
FAMOUS ALASKA GOLD SHIP
BEING BROKEN UP AS JUNK
- |
Alaska sourdoughs, water front habitues j
and Seattle business men generally will read j
with interest news from the North that the I
good ship Portland, for years lying on the j
beach at Katalla, is being dismantled by j
E. E. Miller for the salvage of the metal,
according to the Railway and Marine Nows.
It is a great pity that the Portland, or at
least a portion r»f her hulk, coulol not have
been preserved in some Seattle park or mu
seum, for all interests of the commercial
life of the city unitedly give to that famous
carrier the unique distinction of placing Se
attle on the map. Her arrival nineteen
years ago in July was the signal fvir the
news flashed throughout the civilized world
of the discovery of the Klondike, from
which dates Alaska’s forward movement and
Seattle’s growth. It was the Portland that
brought into Seattle harbor that great cargo
of gold, panned from the Yukon river, which
inaugurated the most- romantic and suc
cessful gold rush the world has ever known.
The Portland began her long career in
188o, under the name of the Haytien
Republic, and she started at once to fur
nish copy for the newspapers, as she was
seized for carrying contraband to the
rebels in Hayti. When the United States
government forced her release an attempt
was made to sink her as she left the harbor
of Port au Prince, and the marks of this
■ brush with the gunboat selected to do the
work were visible when she came to the
Pacific coast in 1889.
She failed to make good either as a can
nery boat or passenger steamer, and was
finally chartered by a Portland concern for
service between Puget sound and the Co
lumbia river. It is said that later she be
came a carrier of contraband Chinese and
opium, at which she was successful until
seized and sold by the government at Port
land. Her new owners renamed her the
Portland, and after improving the vessel
she had a varied and somewhat respectable
career, running to all points between Pan
ama and the Aleutian islands, until she be
came one of the fleet of the old Alaska

PLEA OF ROUMANIAN KING
LONDON, Oct 14 The >Timrs today
publishes one of the most startling an
noUrteaments of the war, which is nothing !
less than a fervent plea from King Ferd
inand of Uouniimia to the allied belligerent |
nations not to’let-his nation suffer the same *
fate as Serbia and Belgium. The statement j
shows more than anything eFe could that I
Roumaoin is in a most dangerous condition, j
King Ferdinand in his plea says that bis \
nation staked its ith when it entered the ;
war for the allies He declared that Ron- J
mania did not fight for expediency, but it' ;
motive was one of the biggest principles of
nationality He points o«£ that -Kouniania 1
and -Germany were friendly in the begin- !
ning, but Roumania refused to fight for the j
control jx>Wl*rs, and later turned against j
them because 'Germany intrigued to bring .
such a declaration of war around. Pou
mania. the king says, hottestly got to hete j
rmatty because Germany wanted Rou
mania to light, although such a course j
would hrvc been against its welfare. His !
hole plea ns an attempt to jffioW that ft ou- j
mania ordered the war for honorable roa* !
sens, which demand that she should "o' be j
left to destruction udw at the hands of the j
tons. At the same time the king de- j
dares that Roumania will not falter, ml i
will fight to file end. no matter how bad :
matters look at present.

ANOTHER THEORY SPRUNG
AS TO BIRDS' DISAPPEARANCE
The scarcity of pi.nmgau throughout the
ferr:U:ry continue* *•» be a tapir of di-cus
-inn in Alaska new-pap..and 11 i- evidem
[hat the m-rd- n-v a.me.-' r.itinly dis.to
■r: red Travelers report that where fi>r
:n;.|[v the birds were to lie found hy the ;
liiou.-itods. -now .me is scarcely ever seen.
Reports come fro:.; .’ill sections of the North ;
-bowing that the scarcity is general, and j
the theory that they have migrated to other ;
-actions is not likefy to be borne out. A j
Nome sj eri ::l to the Juneau Dispatch gives;
. new theory, which, however, will scarcely |
re aecej ted a- :m explanation of the dis
,■(■arance of the myriads of the-r birds
i-i ch formerly we: • found throughout
Alaska and Yukon territory. It is a- fol
lows: !
‘•Where are all the ptarmigan? This is a
question now being a.-ked by our local mm
rods anti the people who like to eat a nice
hot bird once in a while. Only two years
-go there were plenty of the white game
jir.i- t&‘ over Seward .peninsula, last year
not so many, sad the presrnt fad finds us
with practically -no ptarmigan at all.
“Where have they gone, if they have
r, Or have they been attacked by some
i't.idwnic? Or have they been driven to
,tber parts by one or another of the heavy
-forms of the past two years? There are .
reason- for believing that each of these;
questions contains a suggestion which will j
partially account at least for their disap- j
pesrance.
“From the captain ot tne near aim many
others it has been learned that tens of
thousands, some say millions, of ptarmigan
perished on the bleak ice fields of Bering
oca last winter. Why they went there is
a question that cannot be answered with j
certainty. Owing to the prevailing deep j
.now they may have been unable to get
food, and in seeking new fields they may
have become exhausted and settled on the
ice. There being no food for them on the
ice, and being too exhausted to fly farther, ;
they would naturally freeze to death. j
“As to an epidemic, there is not much j
evidence that such has occurred. A few j
travelers have declared that they have seen j
many scattered feathers and bones of ptar
migan in some sections. However, these
traces of tragedies in the wilds are always
o be seen ail over Alaska, as the foxes,
hawks and owls have always helped them
selves to ptarmigan when they wanted to
eat.
“As to their being storm-driven, this may
account for those seen on the Bering ice,
and furthermore a strong wind or a series
of them may have driven a great many of
the birds beyond the ice, where they found
no place to alight, and so fell in the water,
only to be drowned. Usually, however, dur
ing a gale a ptarmigan will burrow into
the snow, as does also the grouse, and sit
there contentedly until it is over,
“The migration of ptarmigan is another
theory, but only a theory. For if they have ;
migrated, where have they gone ? _ Reports j
from all over Alaska, along the Yukon, on
the Innoko, the Xanana, the Koyukuk, the
Porcupine, agree in this, that the ptarmigan
has disappeared. Where, no one seems to
be able to say.
“Any reason for their disappearance from
all parts of Alaska seems at best to be
only a theory. That they are gone is a
fact.
“About 30 years ago, the present writer
was informed by an old-time trader, the
same condition existed all along the Yu
kon. He had a dozen natives out for a
week to get game for his Christmas dinner,
and they failed to bring in a single ptarmi
gan, grouse or rabbit. All smell game
seemed to be extinct. But in a year or
two the little creatures came back seemingly
more plentiful than ever. So it may prove
in this case.” _

YUKON RIVER MAIL CARRIER
COMMITTED TO MT. TABOR
A telegram from Dr. I. W. Lamb, corn- |
missioner at Nulato, lias been received by {
Thomas Long, United States deputy mar- !
?hal at Ruby, stating that Harry I.appin
of Nulato has been adjudged insane and is
to be committed to Mount Tabor, according
‘o the Ruby Record-Citizen of November 18.
Harry Lappin is well known along the
lower Yukon, particularly between Holy
Cross and Nulato. Some years ago he lived
at Tun an a. but lately has made his borne
at Nulato. He and Fred Milligan have been
-quel partners in a marl sub-contract from
the Northern Commercial Company for the
last three years, and Milligan did everything
in Ins power to avert the unfortunate neces
sity for commitment. But Lappin. who has
been in poor health for the past year, be
came irresponsible lately, and last spring
burned down a roadhouse and a cabin. Sev
eral tires of mysterious origin have been
started since. The result is that the au
thorities have taken up the matter, and
the unbalanced Lappin is now awaiting the
arrival of Deputy Marshal Long for safe
convoy to .Mount Tabor, Oregon.
