Washington. D. l\, April?—Chances
Ibr the enactment of legislation at this
session of congress providing aid for
Alaska railroad construction again
seem encouraging. Although the
house committee on territories voted
•everal weeks ago to lay the Lovering
hill on the table until the short ses
sion next winter it asked today for
further time to consider the matter,
ft now seems likely that an entirely
*ew bill will be presented and that it
will have a fair chance of passage at
^his session.
In the senate yesterday afternoon
tbe hill of Senator Burnham granting
a federal charter and terminals, with
a section of coal land, to the Alaska
Railroad Company, which proposes to
build from Cordova hay. was taken up.
Many objections to the measure were
suggested, the opposition Wing led by
Teller.
Some progress is Wing made on
•thor Alaska legislation, Lacey's hill
to permit single coal locations of l-N*
seres was called up in the house com
mittee on public lands, of which Lacey
« chairman, yesterday. A further
bearing will he held next week.
Sul/er >:us that his hill for territorial
•rgaiii/ation of Alaska will be called
ap next week anti lie hopes foi a tav
•rahle considerat ion.

ALASKAYUKON
FAIR LAUNCHED
By C»bl» to Tb« Dally Oatoway.
Seattle, April 12—The Alaska-Yukon
fair project was formally launched last
night at a banquet of the trustees in
the Hotel Washington. Ex-Mayor
Ballinger was elected president df the
enterprise and a committee selected to
formulate a detailed plan. This com
mittee is headed by I. A. Nadeau, vice
president of the Chamber of Com
merce and former general agent of the
Northern Pacific in Seattle.
While it is not definitely settled it
was practically agreed that the fair'
should not he held until PJ09. James
S. Goldsmith said that plenty of time
should be given for preparation and
that the fair should not be held until
after the Jamestown exposition, the
New York state fair and the presiden
tial election of 190S. as all those events
would detract from popular interest in
the enterprise. He said Seattle would
have to raise at least $.">00,000 for the
fair. Every business man present
agreed to exert his utmost efforts to
promote the exposition and local inter-j
est in it is general.
Secretary Sheffield of the Alaska j
: club outlined the plans upon which the j
Lewis & Clark exposition at Portland
was organized and carried into suc
cessful execution. This morning he
wired the outcome of the meeting to
Gov. Mclnnes of Yukon territory and

where the Harriman Columbia Valley
and Hill’s Seattle line run close to

Members of the Seattle road gang
hurled sticks of dynamite with lighted t
fuses attached, into a ravine where
crews of the former were working.
Chief Engineer Wise of the Harri
man road pulled the burning fuses
from the dynamite sticks before they1
could explode, at great risk to himself. ,
and thereby saved tin* lives of his men. \
The bombarding party then threw
other sticks of dynamite with short
fuses attached into the ravine and as
the fuses could not be pulled the Har
riman forces were compelled to run for
their lives.

instantly killed and Foreman Andrew
Brash was badly injured last Monday

The task proceeded slowly and the fore
man becoming impatient went in him
l self and broke up a box and put the
pieces of wood in the stove to add to
the tire. He then came outside and a
moment later a tremendous explosion
inside occurred, with fatal result to the
powder man and dangerous injuries to
the foreman.

BUILD DOCK AT
GLACIER CREEK
James Bartlett is building a private
wharf on Glacier creek, near the town
and about 200 yards up the creek from
Turnagain Arm, where it will be safe
from the rush of incoming tides. The
wharf is 40x60 feet, standing back a
short distance from the edge of the
creek, with a landing eighteen feet
wide extending into the water. At
high tide there is twenty-two feet of
water at the landing. This is sufli
cient to ftoat the largest inlet boats
easily. At low tide the water runs out
entirely. A warehouse will bo built
on the dock.
The wharf is well protected from
the tides. A low bluff ranges along
the side of the Arm from the mouth of
the creek in the direction toward the
sen and this affords a perfect break
water. It is expected that the dock
will be in active use as all supplies-for
the railroad in the region of Glacier,
as well as for tho mines up that creek,
are discharged at. the mouth of Glacier
creek. _ _
