FINE PAY ON
CACHE CREEK
KICK CLEANED IP HUNDRED
DOLLARS A DAY DURING
THE PAST SEASON.
John Rice, who has been over in
the Cache Creek country for the past
few months working on his quartz
claims, returned on the car yesterday
afternoon and says that for tht* 44
days he was able to operate this
season he took out on an average
about $100 a day. He went over there
in the latter part of February but
said it was June before ho was able
to do any work. For the seven or
eight months spent over there he was
able to get in only 44 full days of
work, owing to the fact that the
ground was frozen part of the time
ami also because of the lack ot water
some of the time. Mr. Rice had four
men at work this season. He says
that if he had that piece of ground
near here, where the ground would
not be frozen so long, it would bring
in a handsome revenue. Mr. Rice will
leave in a day or so for his proport\
near Mile 20. which requires assess
ment work.

HALF BLOOD ROY
VICTIM OF ACCIDENT
JUNEAU. — H amilton Alexander
Watson. 17 years, was instantly killed
at Hawk Inlet cannery Saturday by
the accidental discharge of a S0-°»0
rifle. The bullet entered his neck.
As he was alone at the time the cause
of the tragedy is unknown, but the
theory is that the breach became
jammed, that Watson inadvertently
loaded the weapon and that in putting
the butt to the floor it discharged.—

WAREHOUSE DESTROYED
ON srsITNA RIVER
Two of the Alaska Commercial
Company’s big warehouses at
Talkeetna were destroyed by the high
water which prevailed on the Susitna
during the past week. The loss was
caused by the caving of the banks.
Ample warning was given to permit
the saving of all contents of the
structures. The first warehouse top
pled into the river before the arrival
of the government boat Chulitna from
Indian river, and the other was about
to topple into the rushing waters as
the boat passed.—Cook Inlet Pioneer.

j BRITISH SYSTEM NOT
PRACTICAL HERE—LANE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—Replying
to American exponents of the British
system of giving Cabinet officers
seats in Congress, Franklin K. Lane,
secretary of the Interior Department,
told the United Press that in his esti
mation the scheme was neither “prac
ticable nor advisable.”
“Speaking for myself.” said Secre
tary Lane, “I would not have the time
to use my seat in Congress if l had
one. Cabinet positions in America
I are purely administrative positions
as opposed to those in England, where
the supervision of the various de
partments is mostly' carried on by’
under-secretaries.
“As the situation is now, we Cabin
et officers have all the opportunity
desired to make clear our ideas and
wishes to Congress. In the first place
the recommendations in our annual
reports state our positions to Cong
ress as clearly and forcibly as we
could state them if we addressed the j
members from the floor of the chain- ,
ber. In the second place, we have j
ample opportunity to appear before
the Congerssional committees and
speak on any measure within our .
province.
In addition to that, all bills concern- j
ing our respective departments arc |
submitted to us as soon as introduced i
for the purpose of getting our opin
ions on them. During the last ses- I
sion of Congress 1 wrote reports on j
:UHH) bills thus submitted. You can
realize that l would have hardly time j
to make three thousand speeches for j
or against them.
“Looking at the proposition from |
the point of view of the Congressmen
and Senators themselves, I do not be- j
lieve they would favor the plan. I
believe that the distinction between
administration and legislation, as
now recognized, is what they would
continue to favor and insist upon.”
