(Seward Post.)
Fortifications for Resurrection bay
and Cooks inlet in defense of the
government railroad terminals, pro
posed naval coaling station and line
to the coal fields will be one of the
most important subjects considered
by members of the committees of
congress on appropriations ,who are
expected to visit Alaska this summer.
That high officials of the govern
ment are thoroughly aware of the
need of these forts is shown in let
ters received in the last mail address
ed to the Seward city council, in re
ply to the telegrams sent by the
council and commercial bodies, en
dorsing General Weaver’s report on
Alaskan defense.
From Senator Chamberlain.
Senator George E. Chamberlain,
chairman of the committee on mili
tary affairs, notified the council that
he would give the measure his closest
attention when it comes up.
Delegate Wickersham went into de
tails in his reply, urging that data be
prepared by local people for presenta
tion to the members of the joint party,
which he is endeavoring to have visit
Alaska in connection with the semi
centennial celebration this year.
The delegate’s letter stated in part:
“You will notice that provision is
made (in the joint resolution for a
junketing party to visit Alaska and
inspect the government railroad, the
cost of the trip, not to exceed $25,000,
to be deducted from the railroad ap
propriation) of three of the commit
tees on appropriations as a part of
this joint committee.
Must Have Data Ready.
“The committee on appropriations
has entire control of appropriations
for fortifying Resurrection bay and
Cooks inlet and of putting forward
other plans of fortifying the coast of
Alaska and the very purpose of se
curing the appointment of this joint
committee and bringing them to Al
aska is to bring to their attention the
matters you mention.
“There is much interest taken in
these resolutions-and it looks now as
if we might secure favorable action
thereon and that sometime during
this summer you may have with you
the gentlemen who are able to make
appropriations for the pui'poses you
mention.
“In that case you ought to be pre
pared with as much data as possible
to convince the members of the ap
propriation committee of the import
ance of doing the work you mention.”
(Portland Oregonian.)
Portland’s first opportunity to share
in the patronage of the Alaska. Engi
heering Commission since the estab
lishment of an agency of that body
here Thursday is to bid on two sea
going cargo barges. Tenders will be
opened at Seattle February 10 by
Charles E. Dole, purchasing agent for
the Commission.
Joseph J. Hittinger, who opened the
Portland office, leaves tonight for Se
attle to confer with officials of the
Commission there on future plans
with reference to dealings in this city.
It is felt certain the system will be
followed of according Portland firms
early information on all proposals so
they may have the details before them
as soon as those on Puget Sound.
The barges sought are to be of
wooden construction,' 172.4 feet over
all, 163.6 feet on the waterline, 41 feet
beam and 12.4 V2 feet depth of hold.
They are to be model barges, and will
be used with other of the barge fleet
in transporting freight to Anchorage,
being towed by tugs. They will be
capable of carrying lumber, railroad
steel, machinery and general construc
tion material for use at Anchorage
and along the railroad line.
Several yards scattered along the
Columbia and Willamette rivers can
handle the contracts, but in these days
of the demand for other wooden ton
nage it is questioned how much com
petition will follow the call for bids.
It is apparent the Commission plans
on early delivery of the vessels, so it
would be rush work. On the other
hand, the vessels would be easier to
construct than the auxiliary schooner
types now being turned out, and might
be undertaken without interfering
with vessels under way.

SENTENCED TO
LIFE IS EXTINCT
(Juneau Empire)
Powerless under the law to impose
any penalty except that of death,
Judge R. W. Jennings late Saturday
evening pronounced sentence on Ed
ward Krause, convicted murderer of
Captain James O. Plunkett.
When the court convened for the
purpose of sentencing Mr. Krause,
Judge Jennings told Mr. Krazuczu
nas that he would hear his remarks,
at the close of which he called Krause
forward and said:
“Mr. Krause, the grand jury indict
ed you and the petit jury convicted
you after a fair -and impartial trial,
under the law of the land as the court
saw it. If the court made errors an
other and higher court can correct
them. If there were no mistakes the
] orders of this court will be carried
out.
“It is not a pleasant duty which con
fronts the court to pronounce sentence
on you and I am not going to deliver
any lecture or prolong this matter to
make you feel any worse.
“It is the judgment of the court
that on the 11th day of May you be
taken by the United States marshal
for this district of Alaska and be
hanged by the neck until you are
dead.”
Sentence was pronounced in a low
tone of voice amid a breathless still
ness. The hundreds who crowded
the court room were intently hanging
on every word, every act, and every
move, of both the man passing sen
tence and the man on whom sentence
was being passed.
Immediately after the passing of i
sentence, the hallway, which had been
crowded with spectators, was cleared
and Edward Krause was led back to
his cell, never again perhaps to ap
pear in the local court room, or in any
court room and he will he closely
confined and watched until the end.
Kazic Krauczunas state! that he
has every intention of perfecting an
appeal in the case to the circuit court,
on account of alleged errors in the
j trial both on part of the court and dis
1 trict attorney. He has until the day
| of the execution to perfect hiib^ppeal
I to the higher court.
ALASKA GIRL IS TO SPREAD
THE UPLIFT IN THE NORTH
CANYON CITY, Colo., Feb. 17.—
Brought to the state penitentiary here
by a journey of several thousand miles
from Alaska, an Eskimo girl murder
ess is already planning to go back to
her people on the shores of Bering sea
at the end of her long term and teach
them modern customs.
Miss Aplaruk is the first Eskimo
prisoner the Colorado penitentiary
ever had. Here the government is
housing all federal convicts of the
western country, including Alaska.
The Eskimo girl understood no Eng
lish and nothing of civilized customs
when she arrived at Canyon City. She
seemed utterly dazed. Her plight in
terested Warden Thomas, who started
her education. He had great diffi
culty in teaching her the first few
words of English, but when these
were first mastered the girl suddenly
began to show keen intelligence and
i a desire to learn the language and
customs'of the white race.
The warden believes when her sen
tence expires she will be one of the
best educated women that ever set
foot in the prison.
About 60 mechanics gathered at the
Labor Temple last night and passed
a very enjoyable evening. Will meet
again next Thursday night and all
mechanics in this district are request
ed to attend. 548

JUNEAU Feb. 1.—The annual re
port of Collector of Customs for Alas
ka, John F. Pugh, was issued today
after having been compiled by the of
ficers of the local office and shows
that the total value of the exports
and imports between Alaska and the
United States and Canada reached the
highest point in the history of trans
portation to the territory and exceed
ed the value of 1915 in imports and
exports over $37,000,000.
The value of the exports and im
ports, according to the report, amount
ed to exactly $119,937,443, as compar
ed with $82,874,122 last year, and $55,
012,212 in 1910. The value of the im
ports to Alaska for the year amount
ed to $35,314,993 while the exports
amounted to $84,622,450.
The value of the gold and silver
produced in Alaska and shipped to
the United States amounted to $16,
332,117. This was distributed be
tween the four judical divisions as fol
lows: First, $5,638,387; Second, $5,
035,631; Third, $1,523,206, and Fourth,
$6,134,893. The copper ore shipped
from the territory during the year
amounted to 135,289,219 pounds, val
ued at $35,534,039. The next largest
item in value of production from the
territory was canned salmon, which
amounted to 237,764,310 pounds, with
a alue of $21,538,113.
During the year 1915 the value of
the salmon shipped from the territory
was $17,892,377, while the copper ore
was valued at $12,354,163. The larg
est previous year’s exports of canned
salmon was in 1914, when the produc
tion reached a value of $17,906215.
The increase of the value of the cop
per production of the territory is
shown in a comparative tabl« which
shows that in 1913 copper vdued at
$3,765,132 was shipped; in :914 it
amounted to $3,366,342, and ir. 1915 it
jumped to $12,354,163. The exports
for the year 1916 amounted to almost
twice as much as all three years com
bined.
Another interesting phase of the rp
port is the movements of the passes
gers on the vessels operating to an*
the territory from the south ana'
from Canada were 26,859. The arriv
als at Eagle from Yukon territory
down the Yukon amounted to 1,182
while the departures were 727, show
ing that the population is on the
constant increase.
The report issued today is one of
the most comprehensive ever issued as
it deals with many phases of the bus
iness of Alaska and touches on many
things which have never been before
incorporated in any report. The com
parative tables in the report are most
comprehensive.
