SPECIAL INI AT HIES
Mr. \V. J. Lewis, Bpeclai agent of
the General Land OXilco arrived in
i mi nt's on, the last Seattle ana SM
been very busy looking Into matters j
pertaining to his department.
Mr. Lewie seems to be a very ef
ficient and painstaking official and
while he has to be "shown," unlike I
may other government agents, he is
willing and anxious to bo "shown."
During his stay, Mr. Lewis has con
versed with a great many of the citi
zens of Haines and has expressed hi id
self a& agreeably surprised at the
possibilities agriculturally and other
wise of this section of Alaska. In
speaking to a representative of the
Pioneer Press, Mr. Lewis said:
"This is my first trip to Haines,
and to Alaska. Before coming to Alas
ka, I was, as I believe, about like the
average American In that I knew veiy;
little of the country. In the rush of
1897 I read about the Klondike, and
about Juneau and Skagway, and the
trials of the early pioneers, and it
was only after arriving In Alaska
that I learned that Dawson and the
Klondike belonged to Canada. As to
Valdez, and Nome, and other places.
I had heard some of them, but had
no idea of their exacts location. And
believe that If the average American
knows any more about it than I did,
he has learned it very lately as a re
sult of the prominence of Alaska In
the public eye.
So far I have been at Katalla and
Yakutat and also at Kechtlkan. and
Juneau, besides Haines. Of all the
places I have seen, Hainee gives the
greatest promise of being an agrlcul
"yral region. To one who loves the
agricultural home, it is a genuine de
light to find a place where, In a sup
posedly Ice bound clime, berries of
all kinds, and vegetables and grains
are growing and seemingly doing ver
well.
My principal business here has bee
in connection with permits to cut
timber from Government lands. When
a permit to cut timbre is granted,
the regulations require that the tim
ber must be scaled by a special agent
before It can be moved from the
vicinity of where It is cut. As one
could not come promptly at the time
the timber has been deelred for use.
In several cases It was scaled by th<
seller and also by the purchaser, and 1
thwe measurements accepted by the j
Department, where there was good
reaaon to believe that the parties
were honest nad reliable. For my
own part, I have had dealing* with
everal partie* in Haines, and all have
given me the Impreaeion that they ai?
hard working and honest. builders of !
the country.
The object of the timber laws
to prevent waste, and to prevent the
exportation of timber from Alaska,
It la believed that Alaska ha* no
more timber than la needed for home
consumption. For thia reason appli
cations to cut timber must state that
the timber Is to be used within one
year. This prevent buying a stand
of tinvtvr and hold Ins It for a raise
In price. The reflations in r< card
to pill lit; tops and brush h^ve not b'o
rigidly enforced, for the reason that
heretofore no general damage has
been sufferd from flr< s F*ut If it
seems necessary to the safety of the
timber, no doubt the?e may be more
rigidly enforced.
The aim of the Land Department
is to handle the tlnriier of Alaska so
as to preserve to the people of Al
aska the creati-st possible beneficial
use. and at the same time to obtain
from it at least a part of the cost
of administration In connection with
It Those who handle timber knaw
well that in many case* the govern
ment does not receive enoueh from
a sale to pay expense*, while in other
cases the receipts more than cover
expenses.
One matter that has been brought i
to my attention is the fact that In
some cases a special agent doe* not
come to ale the timber as soon as
cut, thus causing loss to the parties
if the timber should not be promptly
tised. This matter is now under con
sideration by the Department, and
no doubt a remedy will be found In
some way. which will work to the
satisfaction of all. Some valuable
suet:' ^tions alone this line have been
received from lumbermen, and I will
be glad to hear from others as to
any improvements that can be made
1 wish to thank the people of Haln<4
for their frankness and squareness in
d< nliner, and I feel that all l?and Depart
ment matters can he fully understood

KIRM5E IS
WELL PLEASED
While debating the tourist business
of tho past two months, H. I). Klrmse
who Is probably in a better position
to judge than any of the business
men of Skagway, expr<<AAed his views
of the matter In the presence of a
representative of the Dally Alaskan
as follows: ?
"It Is largely up to the merchant
whether he will have a good season
or not. The past season with me has
been ono of the best 1 ever had, and
I attribute It to the fact that 1 have
'had the goods,' for all tourists 'must
be from Missouri and they must be
shown,' so I have been able to show
them.
"I have made a study of the tourist
trade, and in my selection of goods
for this summer's business, I used
the utmost care and thought. Not
alone in the nugget jewelry line, but
in the other lines of curios which I
have had on display have I lost sight
of the fact that what the visitors
wanted was something typical of Al
aska and the Northland, and some
thing "different" That I was right
when I made my stock of nugget jew
elry and souvenir goods is evidenced
each time a party of 'cheechacos' en
ter my store. All are loud In their
praise and express their surprise at
such a store and stock bein# in Sk air
way.
"Yes, this is one of the most suc
cessful seasons I have ever had. and
1 attribute ?t all to the npproVlflle
ness of my stock."
