A RESTFUL ASSURANCE
It was thoughtful of the cable cor
respondent to wire tin* joyous assur
ance that Agent Lembke of the Pribi
lof islands has no fear of international
complications following the arrest of
Japanese seal poacher-. Lembke i> a
-ovt of constable in the seal island**
and hi- opinion in diplomatic affairs is
weighty.
Still the correspondent is not to be
censured. The Lembke interview is
tie* kind of l>ouillon which constitutes
about three-fourths of the fustian
that metropolitan newspajvrs peddle
as new-.
If the statutes which penalize the
sale , f good- under false label- were
strictly enforced every big newspaper
in the .and would be prosecuted daily.
And no grosser offenders exist any
where that the Seattle Times. Post
Intel, gencer and Star. They hawk a
larger percentage of rubbish under the
new - label than any other publications
on earth except the Billhearst organs.
One of the space writers for syndi
cate newspaper Sunday magazines re
lates a conversation which Gov. HotT-j
man of New York held with President
Lincoln in the White House. Inas
much as Hoffman tirst became gover
nor of New York in nearh four
years after Lincoln’s death, the con
versation must have been extreme }
interesting. And yet some people
waste a good deal of time reading
Sunday newspatntr magazines.
It i> not stated in the cable news
where thi> Prince Salman is from who
is going to marry Queen Lilioukalani
of Hawaii. He may be a salmon eanner
from Alaska. As Lil was •>!* the Jnd
day of tin- month probably G. t leve
land will not make any fuss about the
wedding. He is most too old himself
now to take as much interest in the
lady as lie did in 1^9X
The cable story credited to the
steamer Homer that Japanese poach
ers have raided the seal rookeries in
the 1 Vibilof group is a pipe dream
smoked out either by sailors or re
porters. With an armored cruiser
and three revenue cutters pat ruling
the islands the poachers are not trying
hard to raid ’ho rookeries.
This fuss in Morocco involves Europe
becaus. France and Spain assume the
duty of maintaining order in the coun- ;
try .is international police by consent of
the European powers. In discharges
of this prerogative French and Spanish
warships wore sent there when trouble
started recently.
It is now ••Susitna” by official desig

Chicago police are said to be mysti

This ledge was traced .1000 feet and
showed pay ore near the surface prac
tically all the way.
These discoveries are within a few
miles of the mine of the Klondike A:
Boston Mining Company on Willow
creek, which has been operated suc
cessfully nearly a decade. The first
of the Bartholf properties is thirty
six miles from Knik and the region is
easy of access, the trail most of the
way being over the flat north of Cook
inlet. The elevation of the claims is
not more than ilOOO feet.
Temperature In August
The mean temperature of August in
Seward was 55.17 degree*, the warmest
month by a scratch in two years. 1 lie
average temperature of July was •^de

cloudy, twelve part cloudy, and rain
fell on ten days. July had four clear
days, August liHHi six.
W ar by Imagination
In writing up the departure of Dis
trict Attorney Harlan for Alaska an
itt.aginative young reporter for the
Post-Intelligencer passes out this useful
information:
“The daring and persistency of the
seal raiders have created apprehen
sion among the wardens guarding the
seal rookeries in Alaska, and more
than once the United States officials
have been under lire while pursuing
their duties.’’
Inasmuch as Judge Harlan knows
all the trouble revenue officers have in
the Pribilof group is in trying to find
the elusive poachers, who keep out of
>ight a> far as jwssible, it is certain
that the district attorney did not hand
that bunch to the reporter. Poachers
equipped with shotguns would cut a
tine figure fighting a revenue cutter
wearing artillery.
Aron K rick son came in this week
from the Skwentna. He reports that
about twenty prospectors have spent
part of the season there but could do
little because of almost constant high
water. He says good placers have been
located along the river which may be
worked profitably in dry seasons.
All the comment that has been made
on tin* report that Gov. Vardaman of
Mississippi “got religion” the other
(. iy is of an optimistic character. No
body seems to think that it can do
him any harm. -Ketchikan Miner.

FIND BODY OF
PAUL LAWSHE
|JThe body of 1*. H. Lawshe was found
just above low tide on the Hat east of
the mouth of Resurrection river at the
head of the pay Thursday afternoon
bv Charles Christ iensen. The man
had been missing nearly nine days and
careful search for him in the woods
near town had failed to reveal a
trace. Christiensen was driving a cross
the Hat with a load of hay when he
saw the hotly. He reported the dis
covery and Marshal Wybrant and Jim
Kivette went out and brought the
body to town. Lawshe disappeared
Tuesday night, August 27.
An autopsy was held by Dr. Sleem
and Dr. Richardson and they reported j
that they could find no evidence of
death by drowning. The lungs were
congested and contained no water. It
was their opinion that Lawshe wander
ed about until he dropped or laid down
from exhaustion and died. The stomach
showed that he had not taken food for
several days. No marks of violence
were on the body and it contained no
evidence of poison. A coroner s inquest
this afternoon resulted in a verdict in
! accordance with the medical opinion.
In Lawshe’s pocket was found a card
written by himself and dated Mile t)7,
June 1. by which he directs that in
j case of his death notice of the fact be
; sent to Mabel Lawshe, 25 Dunlap
I street, Atlanta. Georgia, and that all
his personal effects Lie sent to her.
Nothing definite is known of Lawshe’s
antecedents. He came here last
spring and was made timekeeper at j
* mile t>7 by Watson ,V Snow. He lost i
| his position a short time ago and it is |
said that he was acting queerly before |
! he came to town. He stayed in the j
j saloons most of the time and was quite j
I noisy but it is said that he drank
| scarcely any liquor.
