tariff hill should be rea'd out of the

the Payne tariff bill and said that

GUTTMAN WAS
WELL NAMED:
Cook Inlet territory round about
Kenal, Is the happy hunting ground
these days, made so by Baron von
Guttman, who recently chartered the
steamer Transit of 3,000 tons, at Vic
toria, and came north with a ship
load of retainers to thin out the wild
beast population on Kenal peninsula.
On his arrival he enlisted the service
of the males of military age around
the town of Kenul to aid the slaugh
ter. He pays white men $10 a day to
act as guides and Slwashea $5 per as
packers. Everybody can get a Job
and proceedings on the upper side of
Kenai peninsula resemble a military
campaign.
This is no guerrilla warfare. The
Baron has organized the campaign
like one of Teddy Roosevelt's descents
upon the hapless primeval live stock.
He is the real Bwana Tumbo of Al
aska. That name von Guttman was
not given him for nothing and when
he gets through shooting the entrails
out of big game he is liable to carry
away a record that will make Teddy's
trip to Africa look like a rabbit chase
even If Kermit Is along to trim the
bunch.
Baron von Guttman is said to be
an Austrian but as he has mazuma to
burn he is understood to have cleared
up all the statutory and diplomatic
pitfalls that threatened to stay his
hand and he is going through the
Kenal peninsula menagerie like bass
notes through a tin horn. He has
started a reign of terror In the
jungle. ? Valdez Prospector.

GOOD COUNTRY
OVER LOOKED
W. M. Stover of San Francisco
who passed through Skagway early
In August, arrived In town yesterday
after a trip to Teslln lake and up
overland along the Nlsutlln river to
Iron creek. Mr. Stover sails south on
the Humboldt.
The trip was made for the purpose
of looking over the land for a syndi
cate of San Francisco and Minneapolis
people who may decide o go in and
develop the country on a big scale.
Mr. Stover thinks there Is gold In
paying quantities along the Nisutlln
and he will probably render a favor
able report to the syndicate.
With Tom Smith, Mr. Stover went
down the Thirty-Mile to Hootallnqua
and up the Hootallnqua to Teslln Ink
They left the boat at the mouth or the
Nlsutlln and wont overland almost to
Quiet lake.
Owing to the distance and the dif
ficulty In transporting supplies this
country has been practically overlook
ed by the prospector. Bob Motter
and Fired Eckert of Skagway are now
prospecting In that country. Mr.
Stover says he was Informed by trap
pers that they were there but did
not meet them.

TYPHOON SWEEPS HA COAST
(By Unlt?c' PreBS.1
LONDON, Eng. Oct. 20 ? More than
one hundred persons wore killed and
many towns were razed in a terrific
typhoon which swept along the coast
of China yesterday.
M. C. Jensen, of Coldfoot, arrived In
Seattle yesterday on the steamer Sen
ator and Is at the Hotel Cecil. Mr.
Jenson Is accompanied by his wife,
who was with him in the Far North.
He 3aid he had done very well and
would go back next spring This win
ter he will spend in Sweden visiting
old friends.
"They are all doing very well on
the upper Koyukuk," said Mr. Jensen.
"I think a fair estimate of the to
tal output for that country, including
the work of last winter and the past
summer, Is $350,000. Some of the
claims were exceedingly rich, while
others were only fairly good proposi
tions. A new strike was made on
Nolan creek, a tributary of Wiseman
creek, and good results were obtained.
The result is that a new town has
been established called Wright City.
"There has been no especial rush
into that country, as It is pretty well
understood that It is no easy proposi
tion. On Nolan creek bedrock Is
struck at a depth of from 120 to 180
feet. Naturally this is not very In
viting to the average stampeder. It
means lots fo good, hard work. There
Is plenty of grub up the river. The
prices are pretty high. Flour Is $20
a hundred and bacon from 40 to 50
cents a pound. My belief is that the
upper Koyukuk will continue to be a
large producer for a long time to
come .
"On my way down the Yukon to St
Michael, I met a man from Fairbanks
and he said there was a lively stam
liede to the Iditarod, on the lower
Innoko. According to the best Inform
atlon I could get the Iditarod is a
good field, but the results are not of
a stampede order. Nevertheless a
great many people are going there
and better ground may be struck." ?

CI DEFIES
ANARCHISTS
(By United Press.)
YALTA, Russia. Oct. 20 ? In defi
ance to the threats of the anarchists
who have threatened to kill him if
he sets foot in Italy, Czar Nicholas
today started for Italy to visit King
Emmanuel. He will be closely guard
ed.
Our neighboring town, Petersburg,
is desirous of incorporating, and as
practically everybody in the place is
in favor of the move, there is every
probability that the matter will go
through. The notices for a hearing
have been posted and the expectations
are that early in November the mat
ter will be settled. At this time the
business men and concerns of the
place arc paying between four and
five thousand dollars per year to the
government in licenses, none of which
Is returned, except the housand or
fifteen hundred which the government
pays for the keep of the school there.
The result Is that any public improve
ment has to be paid for by public
subscription, throwing the load on a
very few. This condition would be re
moved if incorporation is effected,
and the load more equally distributed.
? Wrangell Sentinel .
Henry Boartlman and Reginald Stew
art are both continuing to improve
at the White Pass hospital. The re
covery of both men is thought to be
certain.
