SEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
The fact that there were three suit
tases full of booze on the unfortunate
littie launch which left Skagway for ;
Juneau last Friday evening and from
which sixteen persons, mostly young
men, were drow ned, may have had
nothing whatever to do with the ter- !
rible tragedy, but it is a cinch thac ,
the tragedy would have been no worse
had the intoxicants been left ashore.
Some may say it is no time to men
i a such things, but there are duties
to the living as well as to the dead,
s. bouts and booze are a danger

The Fairbanks Times of June 29
says: “Convinced that the railroad is
o come through the Nenana valley,
it means cheap transporta
tion. fuel and power, a number of
juartz miners and prospectors have
staked sixteen claims on the Nene
•ana mountain, a short distance from
Broad pass.
-While the men who have staked
the claims have said but little regard
ing them, it is stated they will start
extensive prospecting of the proper
ties within a short time. It is stated
also that several homesteads are to be
staked in the Nenana valley in the
near future.”
It is rumored in otficial circles that
Father Duncan of Metlakatia is get
ting in bad with the department c*
the interior, and that he has outliv d
his usefulness. Many people hold
that since the money procured for the
industries was obtained from ben<~
volently disposed individuals in the
east for the benefit of the natives, it
ought to be turned over to the na
tives, and steps may yet be taken. ..
is rumored by the officials with th:s
end in view.

WILL HOLD PRESBYTERY
OF THE YUKON HERE
Rev. James H. Condit Arrives and
Will Be Joined by Two More
Clergymen <
Rev. James H. Condit, superinte - ,
dent of missions of the Presbyterian
church in Alaska, has arrived in Sew
ard to take part in the Presbytery of
the Yukon which will be held here in
the first week of August. Only three
clergymen will be able to attend. The
other two are Rev. J. P. Howard f
Knik and Rev. J. C. McBride who is
temporarily stationed at Cordova.
Mr. Condit has returned from a trip
of investigation in the Bristol Bay re
gion and will recommend the estab
lishment of a mission there.
He came out by way of lliamna and
saw Katmai smoking but says that it
was doing no more than smoke. He
found 23 canneries in Bristol Bay an l
declares that the catch of fish there
is nothing short of extraordinary, it
will be as great as last year and last
year’s catch was a record one. In one
case Mr. Condit saw a thousand r*M
salmon caught in one cast of a gill
net. In all respects he considers th<*
resources in that and other lines a*
much greater than people can imagine
without seeing the country them
selves.
Mr. Howard will come here when
the Evans returns from Knik on th:s
. nd Mr. McBride will come from
Cordova on the Alameda.

LIVED ON ROASTED
GULLS AND ROOTS
KN1K, Alaska, July 20—0. P. Han
sen, Niel Wanamaker and Dale Wa.i
amaker, three prospectors who we* t
up the Beluga river with a year’s
supply of provisions in June have just
returned to Susitna Station after un
dergoing great hardships. They were
lining their boat up the river against
what they say is about a 15 mile cur
rent and reached a point about 20
miles when they lost their boat and
entire outfit. This is the place on the
river where Dr. Cook crossed sever 1
seasons ago when trying to climb Mt
McKinley. All the three men saved
was what they wore and they lo i
$125 in money as well as their guns.
They picked up the boat about five
miles below where it hit the sweeper
and using a blanket for a sail we it
up the inlet and into the Susitn .
During a period of 11 days they lived
on roots and foliage and finally killed
a number of young sea gulls and
roasted them. They had about 20
uitches between them which had no4
been wet. They w’ere in a weakene1
condition when they reached the sta
tion and a collection was taken up for
them there but it was several days
before they could work.
