The S. S. Wilmington with supplies
for the Alaskan Engineering Commis

Wednesday night. Capt. Ramselius *
reports a good trip from Seward to |
Anchorage.
Mr. R. B. Summy is making a tour j
of the Cache Creek mining country.
The S. S. Wilmington after leaving
this port will go to Cordova for
clearance and thence to Tokeen. Al
aska where she will load marble for
San Francisco. Total cargo will
amount to 1400 dead weight tons.
With the exception of a little rain
the weather has been fine in this part
of the Cook Inlet country. Turnagain j
Arm, however, continues to give navi- i
gators plenty of trouble.
J. J. Brown, an old-timer on the
lower Yukon was operated on in the
government hospital last week for
some trouble he had suffered in one of i
his feet. He is getting along \et\
nicely and will soon be on schedule
again.
Work on the Brown & Ha" kins
building at the corner of 4th and E.
streets is going along rapidly. When
completed this will be one of the most
substantial and attractive buildings
in Anchorage.
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK.
This is Fire Prevention Week a.-, in
stituted in the whole L nited States.
The week will be observed outside by
great meetings and fire practises and
in Seward it "ill be observed by the
inspection of all flues by fire Chief
Mel Horner. By the way. Mr. Horn*
er never knew he had resigned untH
after the council meeting last night.
All employes of the city were made
to sign their resignations on taking
office and this was probably used in
the Horner case to make room for
some other. How long, Oh, Lord!
SUGGESTS ASKING FOR
GOVT. PUBLIC BUILDING.
Senator Ray suggested this morn
ing that the Seward Common Council
and Commercial Club ought to make
a formal request of Delegate Wicker
sham that he prepare and present a
bill in congress making an appropria
tion for a public building at Seward.
Mr. Kay stated that it was the usual
custom for applications of this
character to be taken up in order of
application and considerable time
might elapse after the appropriation
was secured before actual building
operations were commenced. He also
called attention to the appropriation
of $100,000 at Cordova, made some
time ago. and that as yet no con
struction work had begun on the Cor
dova Public Building.
THE WKIMER-VAUGHN
SAWMILL SOON WORKING.
According to a telephone call from
W. F. Weimer to Fred Bunce this
morning. Mr. Weimer states that he
and Karl Vaughn will soon have their
sawmill on Kenai Lake working at
full blast. The mill would have been
working several days ago but when
the water was turned on it was found
that there was not sufficient power to
run the whole mill, hence they have
been building a flume in order to get
more water. The pipe bringing the
water at present is about 140 feet
long giving at the mill a head of
about 75 feet, but with all the water
available the horse power developed
is but eight. By adding on a 600 foot
flume they figure they can increase
the horsepower to sixteen. They are
sawing a little lumber for the flume
with the power they have, and ex
pect to have the flume completed and
th® mill working in a very few days.
I MAY GET FRANCHISE.
Someone stated today that the big
four of the city council may give
themselves the electric franchise. The
news lacks confirmation, but, judging
by last night, there is nothing to pre
vent them but the grand jury. What
a pity for themselves the big four are
not directors of the present Electric
company.
Everyone interested in Alaska
reads the Gateway.

ing winter is also understood.
ANOTHER BIG STRIKE
IN MUNITIONS FACTORY.
SCHENECTADY, Oct. 4.—The
workers of the Schenectady Electrical
Works have joined the striking
machinists and six thousand are now
out. This means half the force. The
company has been making munitions
for the Allies and the strike looks sus
picious.
NEWS NOTE&
It is stated on good authority that
one main setback to shipping at An
chorage is the enormous tides, that
the tide rises ami falls 45 feet on the
whole of Cook Inlet. When the tide
is low and barges cannot land Ireight
on shore the steamships are unable
to unload freight on the barges after
they have all been tilled, and hence a
considerable delay is experienced.

Office, passed through Seward on the
Farragut yesterday on his way to An
chorage. He will return to Seward
overland in two or three days.
