this coast (or many years. Ho is stop
ping at the Fifth Avenue hotel. He is
very much interested in the movement
for better ste imer service on the in
side passage. To an Alaskan represen
tative today, he said:
"I heartily agree with the move
ment to secure betterment In
the service. I will be at the me?t
certalnly. My suggestion is that
Juueau, Douglas' Ketchikan and ail
points visited by the boats be enlisted;
people of these towns are in the move
ment. It will be easy as they all feel
alike in the matter. They should be
asked to support a petition asking that
the mail contract for this upper cjunt
r ' have inserted in It a provision re
quiring that the mail be laid down here
every so many days
oil PARTY GOES INSIDE

last boats. Construction of the hulls
will begin as soon aspracticable. The
dredge bull is to be Moated to its desti
nation on the Stewart immediately

be impossible a little later in the
season.

RE WED
REID'S FALLS
Mr. H. Draper his been sending
out a handsome little catalogue of
bis photographic views of Alaska and
Is in receipt of a letter in response to
one of them from S. R. Panton, form
erly of this city, now of Vancouver,
which gives an interesting bit of his
tory to the point. The writer says he
ihopes to make ? trip to Skaeway in a
short time when he "will b&glad to tnlk
over tbestirring times of the big rush."
Continuing, he soys:
"Noticing that you huve Relil's Fall
among your vlew?; you may be sur
prised to learn that I am probablv|rt
sponsible for naming them after Reid
"When at Reid's funeral I heard rhe
roar of the falls back of the trees, and
went up to take a look at them. Tbe
same evening 1 wrote to tbe Dally Al
askan, suggesting that they be named
after the local hero, and gave it some
spread eagle like this:
'The tortuous course of the moun
tain torrent and its final plunge, are
typical of the life of tbe pioneer. The
roar of the falls; the wind soughing
through the trees, and the brawling of
the rapids In the river below, will sound
an everlasting requiem over his grave,'
"So far as I knew, up to the time I
left Skagway that fall, no attention was
paid to that suggestion, but in 1000,
while at Kalispell, Mont., I met a man
from Skagway who told n e the name
had stuck. Liter 1 siw a cut of the
falls, so named, in the literature of the
White Pass & Yukon railroad "
Tbe Pacific Coast Steamship com
pany'i steamer Ai-Ki is at Juneau. She
is expected here tomorrow.
Washington's birth day was observed
by the bank and Postofllce as a legal
holiday. Many of the newspapers of
Alaska suspended publication for the
day and the telegraph service was
shortened in conseouence to the Alas
kan.
