WORK IS PROGRESSING FINELY
K. C. Hawkins, chief engineer or
the Copper River Railway, returned,
last evening from the front. lie re
ports that everything is progressing
:'.s well as could be expected.
The company has begun lo work j
night and day shifts on both the
railroad and steamers. The steamer
Chitiua, in charge of Captain Hill, 1
left on the first trip up the river I
May I'.'ttli. It has not been learned
as yet how far she lias succeeded in |
gettinv. She is loaded with sup- j
plies for the engineers and camp sup
plies for M. J. Honey.
The large consignment of supplies
landed last winter at the upper end
Dt the canyon will be transported to
points beyond by the steamers as
rapidly as possible. Grading work
along the north bank of Miles can
yon is progressing anil it is expected
that the track will be laid and trains
operated by June 3.
Mr. Hawkins says that the water
is gradually receding, making it pos
sible to work under more favorable
conditions. The bridge workers are
keeping up the work in good shape.
Mr. Hawkins descnded one of the
caissons and watched operations.
Approximately 200 yards of gravel
and dirt per day are removed, which
is considered fast work, in view of
the fact that the bottom of the
river is full of boulders.
In reply to a question, Mr. Haw
kins said that the; road would In

the Bonanza mine it is approximate

BILL GANAVAN
IS
The following letter was recently
received by Will Hillery from "Bin"
Canavan, who has been in Cordova
for some time past. Evidently lie
longs to return to the familiar scenes
of Skagwoy.
"This Is one of the toughest
l-laces I've struck in Alaska. There
nas been but three or four fine days
since I came here. Cold, rain and
snow. You will hardly believe it, but
it has been something fierce. Hill.
Skagway and her people are hard to
beat.
"There are quite a number of Skag
way people here. You are running
Wito them all the time. I've been
to the front, just got In a few days
ago. I will take the boat to Valdez
tomorrow to be gone all summer.
"They are having a hard time out
on the line. You can tell John 01
^on that all the bridges went out
last night. They will have a hard
time until after high water. Let
me know how everything is in Skag
way and give all my best regards,
Bill Canavan."

"KIDS" TRIMMED US BEENS"
For the third time Tony Dortero's
"Kids" trimmed the "Has Beons" in
a baseball game last Saturday night.
| At the end of seven innings the score
was 15 to 11 in favor of the "Kids."
| The "Has Beens" were greatly hand
icapped by the absence of Prof. C!a-|
vin and Dr. Gabie. A sensational fea
ture of the game was the fact that
Mr. Yeomans caught two successive
balls.
As usual I shall be in Skngway
during the month of July. I havu es- 1
tablishod a permanent route and will :
\ isit all Southeastern Alaska towns I
at stated intervals. I trust that the;
elass of work I do has earned fori
me a reputation in your town that
will prevent spectacle peddlers from
selling you an inferior elass of work.
Remember that my work is guaran- '
teed and that I come baek to you |
to make good anything that can be
improved.

There Is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other (lis
eases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sciene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by I<\ J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mUCOtt ,
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
