STEAMER MOVEMENTS
Portland Returns From Westward
The Portland arrived about 1:30
o’clock Thur-dav afternoon and sailed
about 11:30o’clock in the evening for
Seattle and way ports on the inside
route. She made the round trip io
the westward in a little o\er a week.
Considerable time was consumed in
unloading the stamp-mills and other
freight at Pyak where everything had
to be transferred to lighters and sent
ashore.
The mail which the steamer brought
in from the westward was \er\ light,
and her passeuger list contained but
few names. Mr. Jerow and Mr. Kelley
came in to Seward. 1 he\ will build a
boat here and go prospecting. 1 he
Portland brings the report that every
thing looks good for a buisy surumei
around Cook inlet.

longing to the fleet which will be per
manently stationed at Kodiak.
A New Industry
With the op, ning up of spring a de
mand for building material will be
felt, and to meet this in part, Stanley
Flower has erected a shingle mill in
Seward. He has three men at work
with him and they are running the
mill by hand. They are turning out
from 7»X)0 to >000 shingles per
day. The shingles are made from
spruce and cottonwood, both of which
turn out a good product. A cord of
blocks will make about 3000 shingles,
the number varying of course with tlie
quality of the material, and are worth
about >4.00 per thousand.
Republican Primaries
The republican primary held at the
Coleman House Saturday evening was
well attended. Will Sauers, Frank L.
Ballaineand S. O. Morford were chosen
as delegates to the territorial conven
tion to be held at Ketchikan May
12. The delegates are sent uninstruct
ed.
heavy Problem Before Todd
Is it against the postal regulations
of the United States of America to
send a man a comic valentine insinua
ting that he is a “blower” and an “old
bear?” This is the tremendous prob
lem put up to United States Dis
trict Attorney Rimer E. Todd by a
citizen of the city of Seattle who re
ceived two such comic valentines.
The complainant does not consider
them comic at all and is virtuously in
sulted about them. Todd will proba
bly decide that if one citizen of the
American Republic wants to call a man
a blower and an old bear the postmas
ter-general cannot legally object. He
says it is no particular crime even
though the feelings of the citizen are
deeply injured.—Seattle Times.
CANADA GUARDS

—
Dominion Government Will Patrol

Undesirable Parties.
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Ottawa, Canada. April 4—The Do
minion government has issued orders
to have the boundary lines of the Do
minion patrolled by a strong police
force for the purpose of shutting out
undesirable parties coming from the
United States.
Bids for Pacific Trade
New York—W. H. Avery, of San
Francisco, general manager of the Toyo :
Kiser Kisha, the Japanese transpacific
steamship line arrived on the Luci
tania from England, where he has
completed negotiations for the fourth j
of a tleet of great oil carrying steam- j
ships which his company will operate j
between Gaviota, California and Yo
; kohama. Avery has made several
trips to England during the last year
j in the interest of the powerful Japan
ese steamship company, which he rep-j
! resents, and his transactions abroad ;
have involved a large portion of the
millions of dollars which the Japanese
are spending in their efforts to achieve
the commercial supremacy of the Pa
cific.
Worried Over Our Progress
New York—Former Comptroller uf
the Currency A. B. Hepburn, now
president of the Chase National bank,
after a few months’ sojourn in Europe |
gave out the following interview:
“One thing that most strongly itn-{
presses itself upon the mind of a care- j
ful observer in Europe at the present ;
time is the fact that the continent of
Europe does not like the United States, i
Tne\ regard us as a bumptious people ;
that ought to be spanked into some
sort of decorum, and they would wel
come and rejoice in any international
complications not involving them
selves that would bring us into ditticul- (
ties. We are their commercial and
tinancial rivals. They think, or alTect
to, that their present tinancial and
j commercial difficulties are chargeable
to us.
“It is our growing importance as aj
naval and military power that most
disturbes them."
_
Guaranteeing Bank Deposits
The bill introduced by me provides
for a guarantee fund of $700,000,000 in j
the United States to protect the de-|
positors in national banks banks. All
deposits in our banks are involun
tary. No one has the privilege of put
ting his money where he will earn a
fair rate of interest—say •"» per cent
—absolutely free from risk, and at the
same time he able to recall it should
he desire to use it. Everyone must |
choose some hank, and the very fact of j
a choice implies a risk. Not one per
son in ten thousand has any idea what
ever about the true inwardness of flu*
bank at which he is doing business.
In the last analysis it is absolutely a
matter of faith, and blind faith at that, i
The ramifications of credit are so ex
tended and intricate that the business
of the whole country is affected by j
bank failures. It is impossible to es-'
timate the evil consequences, direct
and indirect, growing out of them.
Such a guarantee fund in the United
States treasury would avert panic. It
would prevent that fear which leads
to hoarding. Unless the relief I advo
cate is afforded, sooner or later we
shall have a postal savings bank in
this country, and then the government
will have to become a large buyer of
bonds to invest the accumulations of
the people.—C. L. Fowler in Leslie’s
Weekly.
Goose Sentries
** ‘Silly goose’ is an expression
which should be used by the extremely
ignorant alone. No bird of ray ac
quaintance,” says J. Cyril Crowley,
“requires more patience to shoot with
gun or camera, especially the latter.
When feeding you will find flocks
varying in size on open ground, and
nearly always on such ground that a
stalk is impossible.
“On the outskirts of these flocks are
sentries with heads erect, eyes and
ears alert, the slightest sound or move
ment and you are detected—true de
scendants from the ancient preservers
of Rome.”—Country Life.

How Woman Was Made
The poor Hindu was sadly put to it
to account for woman, lovely woman,
but no more so than many wiser ones
since his time. According to the
legend, Twashtri, the Vulcan of Hindu
mythology, created the world, but
when he arrived at the final object
which was to be his chief d’oeuvre he
found to his annoyance that he had run
out of materials. He had not a single
chunk of solid matter left.
With a mental execration upon his
carelessness lie fell into a profound med
iiation, the result of which was that
he took “the roundness of the moon,
the undulating curves of the serpent,
the graceful twist of the creeping
plant, the light shivering of the grass
blade and the slenderness of the wil
low, the velvety softness of the flowers,
the lightness of the feather, the gen
tle gaze of the doe, the frolicsomeness
of the sunbeam, the tears of the cloud,
the inconstancy of the wind, the tim
idity of the hare, the vanity of the
peacock, the hardness of the diamond,
the cruelty of the tiger, the heat of
the fire, the chill of the snow, the
cackling of the parrot and the cooing
Df the turtle dove.’’
He mixed these together in equal
portions and the result was woman.
After all, demands the Kansas City
Journal, isn’t this an advance upon the
rib theory?—Ex.
