After Alaskan Trade
Portland—According to official re
ports received by the Chamber of
i Commerce of this city, the trade of
Alaska with the outside world fell off
perceptibly in the year 1907.
“But even abmitting that the trade
of Alaska is falling off,” Secretary
i Giltner of the Chamber of Commerce
says, “we should not abate in our ef
forts to secure a portion of it. Port
land is situated favorably for the trade
of the territory reached by ocean ves
sels, and if we had a direct line to Ju
neau, Sitka, and other prominent ports
of the Far North we could soon work
up a trade that could not be wrested
I away from us.
“While it is true that San Francisco
j has forfeited her Alaskan trade in fa
; vor of Seattle, Portland, being so much
nearer the Alaskan coast than San
Francisco, should bestir herself to keep
' in touch with the Alaska ports reach
ed over the ‘outside passage.' J his
city produces much that Alaska needs
1 in the matter of clothing and supplies,
and these goods could be landed in the
coast cities with as small expense as
’ they can be from Seattle or Vancouver,
Li.
Still in Dispute
Seattle—In an interview publisher
in the Winnipeg newspapers some
months ago, Reo Nahakoll startled the
I British and American governments by
! a descript ion of old documents which
lie had discovered in the Russian .arch
ives at Sitka very materially affecting
tlie boundary linos of Alaskan territo
ry which the l nited States purchased
from Russia in lv,»7. Nahakoll had
Urn attache of the exhibit made by
(Russia at t i. * * (hiengo World's !* a - r
- and was afterward sent by his govern
ment to Sitka to collect historical data
I of the early days of Russia’s occupancy
| of Alaska.
Seatt le people got interested in the
! statements of the find and have since
i obtained certified conyys of the docu
1 ments referred to. They find that all
’! the western coast of North America
north of Vancouver belongs to Russia
‘and should have gone with Alaska at
t the time of the transfer. They have
Jcorroberatod this by correspondence
with the Russian government and
steps are being taken to complete the
records and lay the whole matter be
fore the l'nited States government
ition.

EVELYN THAW
SEEKS RELEASE
it
Famous Actress Wants Knot Un
tied on Plea the Man Was
Insane When Married.
By Cable to The Dally Oatewuy.
New York, Mar. 11—Kvclyti Nesbit
l Thaw has today instituted suit for the
annulment of her marriage with
Harry K. Thaw, alleging as a ground
for the action that Thaw was insane at
j the time of the union.
No Release for Thaw Now
Albany,- There is no hope for the
release of Harry K. Thaw from Mat
teawan State Hospital until he lias
served at lea si sixty days there, ac
cording to I)r. Ferris, president of the
i State Lunacy Commission, who was
j asked regarding the probability of
proceedings looking toward Thaw’s
immediate release.
Dr. Ferris said that in every such
case the patient is kept under obser
vation for sixty days, and at the end
of that period if he is regarded by j
Supt. Lamb of the institution as sane a
report to that effect will be made to
the court. If Thaw is believed by Dr.
Lamb to be insane as a result of his
examination and observation it is not
likely that any report will he made
unless Thaw’s counsel should force the
matter into the courts.
Autos have Trouble Ahead
Tacoma—“Reindeer Bill'' Huber,
the Alaska mail carrier, now in Taco
ma, says the automobiles on their way 1
to Paris will have plenty of trouble
down the Yukon to Nome. The only ,
chance the racers will have to reach!
! Nome on schedule time, in the opinion
j of “Reindeer Bill,” is to follow in the
wake ol the big. dog teams carrying:
the mails. The snow get* a* deep on
the frozen river as it does on land. It
* the ice is smooth and the wind heavy, .
the snow will blow off, but often it ac
cumulates and makes travel difficult, j
! The large, heavy sleds with their .500 j
ann 400 pound* of Code Sam’s mail,
together with the dog team, comprised 1
of a dozen or more malamutcs, may
break the trail enough for the auto
mobiles to travel over it.

1 at an auction of coins for a copper lialf
i cent, is said to bo the highest price j
ever given in this country for a coin of,
that denomination, and date, 1*2). ■

of 50-cent pieces of paper money, one
i having Crawford’s face, and the other
Stanton’s on it. Two large United
States cents dated 1821 and 1852, sold
for *101. This also was said to be a
record price.
A half dollar of 1859 brought $33.
Fifteen United States cents of franc
size sold for $10.50, and a half dollar
dated 1*53 sold for $95. Another went

Alaska Indians Starving
Valdez—The grand jury, touching
on the question of the condition of
Alaska Indians in its final report last
week, says that the natives practically
all over the district are in a starving
and deplorable condition, and urges
that some action be taken by the gov
ernment to alleviate this condition.
The tribes in the Copper river country
and at the head of the Susitna are
said to be in danger of complete ex
tinction if relief is not given them.
