Washington, June 27—Speaker!
Cannon, of the House, says that !
congress will not adjourn until all
business is finished.
t
Washington, June 26—The con
ference committee on the meat in
spection bill report that they arc
unable to agree. There is an irre
concilable difference on the ques
tions of who pays tlie cost of in-j
spection, and whether the date of j
packing shall be marked on cans, j
Washington, June 29— Bailey,
of Texas, made a scathing attack
in the Senate yesterday upon Rep
resentative Ilearst, of New York,
on account of the articles, “Treason
of the Senate,” being published in
the Cosmopolitan, a magazine
owned by Ilearst. He stated that
the congressman allows deliberate
misstatements to be published, de
lights to publish scandal, and is
unworthy of belief.
Washington, June 2S — The
House has passed the deficiency
bill, the last money measure to be
acted upon before adjournment.
Portland men are heavily inter
ested in the Anglo-American Oil
ifc Coal Company, recently organ
ized at Seattle under the incorpor
ation laws of Washington. The
company owns about 10,000 acres j
of oil Inii.'l in the Kayak district,,
Comptroller 'Bay in Alaska, atul i
has a capital stock of If5,000,BOB
divided into 500.000 shares. Oili
cers are: President, L. G. Clark,
of Portland; vice-president, H. L.
Pittock, D. W. Wakefield and F.
B. Stanley, of Portland; secretary
and treasurer, George Hill, of Port
land. Boiing for oil will begin at
once. George Hill will leave for
Philadelphia early next week in
the interest of the concern.
The Department of the Interior
lias just published an excellent j
work of 300 pages on “The Geo- i
graphy and Geology of Alaska” by ■
Alfred H. Brooks, with a section J
on “Climate," by Cleveland Abbe, j
Jr., and “A Topographic Map and
Description Thereof,” by R. U.
Goode. The whole is profusely
illustrated and forms a work of
the greatest.interest.
The work is one of those “dry af
fairs” which apply to all govern
ment publications, if the reader
has no interest in the subject. But
to the citizens of Alaska, or to the
man or woman who desires to
know details' of Alaska and to se
cure data on all sorts of questions,
no better publication could be con
ceived.
It deals with descriptive geo
graphy, including orographic fea
tures, drainage, a history of
explorations and surveys, com
plete records of climate with ex
haustive tables and an authentic
report on the geology of the great
territory of Alaska.
Aside from the articles on
geology, the entire work has been
prepared for the lay reader, and
the disorjptions are largely in non
technical language. Coining at a
time when there is a great hunger
for correct information regarding
the Great Territory of Alaska, it is
particularly appropriate.
Republican Caucus.
At the republican caucus held
Monday evening, the following
delegates were elected to the 'Re
publican convention at Juneau:
II. W. Miller, John Lyons, Wil
liam Finical, E. B.‘Wheat, B. Blum
and Al. Grigsby.
The only instructions given tlie
delegates were to work for the di
■vision of the district.
Cable Receipts Increasing.
Official figures compiled from
the lnttost reports received at the
chief signal officer’s office in Seat
tle show that during the month of
May, this year, the “this'” line tolls
amounted to $21,571.40, and
“other” lines $1,837457, the amount
of hoth being $23,409.07. In point
of vantage these figures indicate a
gain of $3,000 over the proceeding
month’s business, and $10,(XX) over
the month of May - one year ago.
The above figures indicate the
cash value of the business trans
acted over tlie Alaska cable lines,
but do not include the official or
governmental business, which
amounted to $7,635.99 more, mak
ing a grand tola) of actual busi
ness handled during the month to
be valued at $31,045.06, and ap
pro'ximatelv 100 per cent gain over
May 1905. ’
The-Fairbanks News gives the
following account of a little dilli
culty between two well known,
former residents of Valdez:
Bert Stevens looks like he had
been through a hamberger steak
machine, or playing ragtime with
a buzz-saw, owing to certain facial
decorations, the result of a personal
encounter with Ben Cockerell.
The fight took place last evening
in the cabin occupied by the two
men. They were petitioners for
the mercy of l’olice Judge Erwin
to-day, and after listening to the
evidence, his honor imposed, a fine
of $50 and costs against Mr.
Cockerell, which was promptly
paid.
According to the-evidence, the
trouble grew out of a partnership
agreement, the two men having
brought in an outfit of eggs not
long ago. It seems an attachment
was gotten out against the eggs,
owing to debts contracted by
Cockerell, and Mr. Stevens claims
that lie paid $75 towards lifting
the attachment.
Cockerell stated that lie was ly
ing in bed last evcnftig when
Stevens C'*nie home. They in
dulged in an exchange of compli
ments, and Stevens called the other
mair a liar. Cockerell said lie
thought the other was about to
draw a gun, and therefore pro
ceeded to put hint out of business
as soon as possible.
Ceorge A. Shea, who has been on
the Nabesna in the interest of out
side parties, came down the Tana
nu 500 miles in a row boat to Fair
hanks. and reports meeting a
family of had Indians who held
him up. He says they demanded
tea and tobacco and seized the rope
of his boat. He grabbed his Win
chester and lifted his paddle to
strike, when they lot go. He say
lie is certain they will kill some
white men.
He reports gold having been
found close to Tanana ( rossing.
Provisions are $1 a pound there.
Figures from bun kora and opera
tors at Fairbanks place the veal’s
gold output for the Tanana at $'•>,
250,000, divided as follows:
Clearv. $5,500,000; Fairbanks,
$2,000,000; Dome, $1,000,000; Es
ther, $700,000; Delta and rful
chaket, $50,000. From the winter
dumps there has thus far been
cleaned up $2,7 1 5,000, as follows:
Clearv, $1,500,000; Fairbanks.
$500,000; Esther, $.’>50,000; Dome,
$000,000; Coldstream, etc., $50,000;
Tenderfoot and Salchaket. $15,000.
A good part ot the winter dumps
remain to be sluiced. -Fuck of
water has bothered and recent
rains have not been sufficient to
give water for any length of time.
•The total given does not take in
to consideration many small out
lying districts, which will produce
enough to bring the total up -to
$.10,000,000.
