DEVELOPMENT ON PENINSULA
While all the re>: of Alaska is grow
ing little note is lak* n of tlie rocky
fog.lK*unil peninsula hut it isd«-\eloping
also. Its salmon, cih! and other fisl-.
erics show an increasing output an*
nually and it gives promise of a r* -
markable mineral yield.
The liest evidence of the growth of
population and business on the penin
sula is the fact that tin1 steamer Dot a
is no longer able to carry the freight
ottered, i *n her trip this week she
left freight on the Sew are dock al
though siic had none for < ook inlet.
Her passenger capacity is wholly in
adequate. t>n every trip both ways
this summer passengers have he* n
piled over her like small Ih)Vs hanging
to a bobsled. The Northwestern
Steamship Company will undoubtedly
be obliged next year to place a boat as
large as the Santa t'laru n the run.
Recent gold and copper discoveries
on the peninsula have taken many men
to that region aud the development of
coal mines at Uhignik and ilerendeen
bay are employing many snore. This
stimulates both the passenger and
freight traffic and Seward > becoming
the supply point for the region.
SEARCH WARRANT WANTED
A consignment of goods liought in
Chicago bv a Seward business house
nearly three months ago has not yet
got past Seattle. It cost a little o\ci
half what Seattle would have charged
ami that fact may entitle it to In* se
questered in some Seattle warehouse.
Detailed information of this circum
stance will be furnished to the white
washing committee of the Seattle
chamber of commerce on application.
The missing goods are simply follow
ing the usual course of shipments pur
chased outside the jurisuiction of
the Spirit. Hoods Unighl in other
cities are deliberately sidetracked in
Seattle to pun sh the purchasers. And
vet Seattle wonders why it is not loved
in Alaska.
If the Post-Intelligencer would like
to make this the subject of one of its
somber cartoons or dyspeptic editori
als the way bill will be mailed to the
corner of Fourth and Union.
Richard Mansfield was generally re
garded as the greatest American actor
since Booth and Barrett. He was
born ir. Heliogoland. North Sea. in
1857, but all his reputation on the
stage was won after he came to the
United States Recreated and played
many notable stage characters.
George Kennan, whose arrest on the
charge of criminal libel has been se
cured by Kx-Chief of Police Dinan of
San Francisco, became famous fifteen
years ago by his articles on Russia and
Siberia, descriptive of Russian official
barbarity, after extensive travels in
the empire.
Not long ago we were informed that
Raisuli had been captured. Now we
are told that he has captured the
sultan of Morocco but it is not ex
plained how the bandit broke loose
and got into the kidnaping business
again.
Mr. Nan Patterson is going to sue
Nan for divorce because she is dancing
on the primrose path in Pittsburg
with several millionaires. What does
he expect of a woman when those
Pittsburg millionaires get after her?
The Tanana miners’ >trike may have
reduced the output of gold but it has
not checked mining litigation. Every
Fairbanks paper tells of one or more
new lawsuits over supposed bonanzas.
When Secretary Taft was balled up
in a train wreck he merely remarked
“Bless me!’’ Some men would have
said Hell, just as if they had run into
it.
The new emperor of Korea and his
dad have cut their cues off. which may
have been a concession to keep Japan
from cutting their heads off.
Mr. Bryan says Secretary Taft is a
straddler. A man of Bill Taft’s
weight had better sit sideways on any
thing as thin as a fence.
Uncle Joe Cannon says he is not an
active candidate for the presidency.
He couldn’t stand pat and run fast at
the same time.
Harry Thaw will plead temporary
insanity next time. It seems to have
been organized to last about fifteen
minutes.
SQUARE DEAL WANTED
One of the obligations of the repub
lican territorial convention which will
meet in Juneau in November to elect
delegates to the national convention of
190S will be to order some fair basis of
apportionment for future conventions.
The Southeastern Alaska politicians
who assume to be proprietors of the
party in the territory, in the call for
the coming1 convention allotted the
saint1 number of delegates to each judi
cial division. This looks very fair to
lhi* man who jumps at conclusions but
when notice is taken of the fact that
the Second ami Third divisions
each polled twice as many votes as the
First in the delegate election last .'ear
it appears more like a game of grab.
The basis of representation hereafter
•dumb! be the republ can vote or the
total vote.
Nome of the cable news nowadays
has the "Made in Seattle" brand very

CARVED THE CORPSE
TO FIT THE BARREL
Many old-timers arrived on the
steamer Dora from the 'vest. In dis
cussing events which happened years j
ago along the Alaska peninsula many
i gruesome tales are told, not all of
which are creatures of the imagina
tion. One old sourdough vouches for
| this story:
An uncanny event happened some
years ago at a cannery, the name of
j which it is unnecessary to print. A
! lot of Chinamen were employed then,
j as now, to clean and can the salmon.
The contract under which these Celes
tials were engaged required the com
pany to return them from whence they
came, dead or alive, as the bones of
the deceased must he returned to
j China for final interment.
Running by this cannery is a stream
which has its origin in a mountain
near by. This creek cuts a copper de
| posit or ledge and the poisonous metal
j contaminates the waters percolating
through it, often dealing death to any
j one assuaging his thirst from its
| deceiving depths.
One da\ sixteen of the heathens
I curled up and died, presumably from
j drinking the poisonous waters. The
foreman was in a quandary as to what
I to do with the remains, as no boxes
were available in which to ship them
; to “Frisco. Someone suggested salmon
j barrels would be a good substitute for
| boxes. It was found that the barrels
; were too short to contain the entire
1 body >o it became necessary to carve
I a corpse in several pieces. One of t lie
i employes would take an inanimate,
; nude form, hold the head, the body
1 and limbs lying on a solid block of
wood. Another fellow would take an
ax and cut otT the lower limbs, thus
reducing the corpse to a size which
would tit the barrel. This accomplish
ed, the remains were duly salted, and
sent to the place from whence the
victim had departed in life a couple of
months before.

Innoko a hunter’s Paradise
Kd Stephenson, who was on a recent
trip up the Innoko river, says that the
stream is a hunter’s paradise. Ducks
and geese are nesting along the river
and in the neighboring lakes and marsh
es in countless thousands. As the steam
er moved along they were continually
rising in black clouds on either side.
They were almost as thick as the
mosquitoes, and that is going some,
for with the boat in motion and the
smudges aboard going full blast they
made life almost unbearable. As the
stream is sluggish and not fed by any
glaciers it is perfectly clear, thus en
abling one to look deep into the water,
which is alive with fish -juke, salmon,
grayling and white fish.- Fairbanks
Times.
The Innoko river is said to he one
of the greatest wild duck rendezvous
in the known world.
