SEWARD,ALASKA,THfRSDAY. \\ (AST 10, 19US.
After reading the report ot the Alaskan hngineeiini.
Commission, which has just come to Seward, it is made
clear that the Commission never intended to perform the
heaviest work on the Alaska Northern early this year.
1'he following is the verbatim statement of the Commis
sion in this respect:
“Future harbor improvements at Seward have also
been considered but the real work of rehabilitation of the
Alaska Northern R. R. cannot be undertaken much earlier
than the beginning of the fiscal year 1!H7.
This is regrettable, of course, but if we had all known
it before the disappointment would not have been so pro
nounced.
Several other important facts of the greatest local
interest are also dwelt upon in the report, and they cannot
be said, as some have believed, to l>e unfavorable to this
city. For instance, it is estimated in the report that the j
sum of $130,000 is to lx> expended at Seward for terminal
docks and yards, while the Ship (. reek terminals aie al
lowed only $25,000. However, it is also stated that $40,000
will be used there for dredging “interior basin and ap
proach channel," and this dredging has evidently been de
layed by the failure to secure the dredge. The report says
the work of dredging would be “at little it any above the
expense of proper terminals at other places.
Another important statement in the report, particul
arly in view of recent activities, is the assertion by the
Commission that the copper of Prince William Sound
could be transported at small expense to a smelter at
Seward.
On the whole, it must lx? said, a perusal of the repoit
does not seem to bear out the opinion ol man\ that Sew at d
is shown neglect, except in one or two instances, tw o of
whisJL\\eA£ WiWllfiflcomeln’the'inten
tions of the Commission. In that report Ship Creek is
still spoken of as being on a branch and not on the main
line. Since then it has been placed on the main line. Have
other alterations in the original intentions taken place un
favorable to Seward? There’s the rub.
The Third division Republican convention went for
Wickersham, the Second went for Hubbard, the First has
now decided not to take any action on the general territor
ial question, and the Fourth must either follow in the foot
steps of one of its sisters or endorse the Democrat, the
Socialist or some out and out member of the Republican
organization. Anyhow, the Third division Republicans
are the only ones so far to have endorsed Wickersham.
This leaves the question all up in the air again.

BURKE WISHES FACTS
ON ALASKA FISHING
, SEATTLE, July 22.—Judge Thomas
Burke, president of the Seattle Cham

graphed a few facts pertaining to the
fishing industry of Alaska to Wash

! :i hill nrovidinor oil fkh (nlrpn in
i American waters on the Pacific sea
i board must be shipped to American
destinations through American ports
of entry. The British embassy filed a
protest with the passage of this bill
with the state department alleging
that the passage of this bill would be
an unfriendly act. The purpose of the
bill is to prevent the American fish

waters and shipping them through
Prince Rupert, B. C., instead of
through American ports.—Ex.
