Cutter Unalga
Completes Cruise
of 10,000 Miles
SEATTLE, Aug. 30.—Completing a
cruise of nearly 10,000 miles, the Uni
ted States coast guard cutter Unalga,
Capt. F. G. Dodge, arrived in Seattle
harbor on Friday afternoon from Ber
ing sea. The vessel sailed from this
port on Api. 1 2oth and the voyage
just completed is one of the most suc
cessful ever made by the craft, which
acts as Uncle Sam’s policeman of far
north waters 'during the summer.
The Unalga was dispatched to Cook
inlet direct from Seattle because of
the threatened strike of workmen em
ployed on the government railroad,
but the services of her officers were
not needed.
After a two-days’ visit at Cook in
let the vessel went to Kodiak and
then to Unalaska to coal and deliver
mail, beginning her cruise along the
Alaska peninsula from the little port
at the entrance to Bering sea.
Landed Government Teacher.
At Atka island, of the Andreanof
group, about 300 miles west of Un
alaska, the Unalga landed A. B. Carr,
a government teacher; school supplies,
shipments for the native store and
lumber. Mr. Carr has spent two
winters on the island. The natives of
this part of the Alaska peninsula are
in a prosperous condition and now
have a herd of seven cattle.
The Unalga went to Bristol bay,
where mail was delivered and medical
attention given to sailors of the can
nery fleet and employes of the can
neries in this part of the north. There
had been very little sickness, and the
catch of salmon had been good.
From Bristol bay the Unalga
steamed to the Pribilof islands, land
ing supplies for the United States bu
reau of fisheries and the United
States naval radio station on St.
George island.
Officers of the Unalga said that
the station is a powerful one, and that
they were able to work with it from a
position off Sitka, in southeastern
Alaska.
An attempt was made by the Un
alga to land at St. Matthew island on
June 11,but the steamer encountered
great fields of ice and was unable to
get nearer than 90 miles from the
shore line. She was in the ice for
about eight days and her officers
found that the great floes completely
surrounded the island.
The cruise of the Unalga to this
part of Bering sea was made for the
purpose of landing G. D. Hanna, of
the United States bureau of fisher
ies, who had gone to the far north to
| investigate for the department of ag
riculture, animal and plant life and
the composition of the soil on the
island. The vessel was unable to land
Mr. Hanna and took him to St. Faul
island.
Makes Collection of Birds.
However, ice conditions were im
proved later in the summer and Cap
tain Dodge succeeded in putting Mr.
Hanna ashore at St. Matthew island
on July 11, where he made his inves
tigation for the government.
The Unalga made a cruise com
pletely around the island, which is
uninhabited, anchored several times,
landed shore parties and collected
specimens of birds, plants and ani
mals. She stopped at St. Paul island
on the way south, where Mr. Hanna
left the vessel.
The Unalga took 37 insane and
destitute persons and prisoners from
i Unga, the Kuskokwim river district,
and Bristol bay to Valdez on her way
south. She came from Prince Wil
liam sound to this port via Cape St.
James and Union bay, where she took
bunker supplies.
The assistants of the Unalga was
only required by one vessel during
the long cruise in the far north. The
little steamer Dora, of the Alaska
Steamship company, went ashore at
Unalaska during the early part of
June and was stranded for about 22
hours. The cutter pulled the Dora
into deep water on the first extreme
ly high tide. The accident occurred
across from the Alaska Commercial
company’s wharf at Unalaska.
Heavy fogs all along the coast of
Alaska were responsible for a consid
erable delay on the part of vessels
navigating northern waters recently.
Rev. Maloney, formerly rector of
the Episcopal churches at Valdez and
Seward, is at Pacific Grove, Califor
nia, where he is resting to regain his
health.

Reduction in
Telegraph Tolls
October First
SEATTLE, Aug. 20.—Sweeping re
ductions of from 20 to 33 per cent in
cable rates to all coast and interior
points of Alaska were announced yes
terday by Maj. B. O. Lenoir, in
charge of the Washington-Alaska
military cable and telegraph system.
The reductions effect both day and
night service and will be of immense
benefit to commercial interests of Se
attle and Alaska. Tolls on official
business and press correspondence
will be proportianately reduced. The
new schedule will be effective Octo
ber 1.
Result of Co-Operative Effort.
The reduction of the cable tolls is
largely the result of the efforts of
Maj. Lenoir, who has been thirty
five years in the cable service, and
the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, which has
co-operated with the commercial or
ganizations of Alaska and some
eighty Seattle firms doing business
in Alaska.
Under the new tariff the Seattle
to-Nome rate will be reduced from
$3.80 for ten words to $2.80, and the j
night rate from $2.90 to $2.10; Se- j
attle to Fairbanks and Fort Gibbon,
day rate from $3.30 to $2, night rate
from $2.50 to $1.50; Seattle to Val
dez and Cordova, day rate from $2.40
to $1.50, and night rate from $1.80 |
to $1.10; Seattle to Seward, day rate
from $2.80 to $1.50, and night rate
from $2.10 to $1.10.
Through an arrangement with the
Alaskan Engineering Commission,
which has a line connecting Seward
and Anchorage, cable messages may
be sent to Anchorage at the cost of
50 cents additional to the rate paid
to Seward.
To Other Alaska Points.
The day rate from Seattle to Ket
chikan and Skagway has been reduc
ed from $1.90 to $1, night rate from
$1.40 to 80 cents; Seattle to Juneau,
day rate from $1.60 to $1, night rate
from $1.20 to 80 cents. Proportion
ate cuts have been made in rates to
all other Alaskan stations reached by
cable and line lines.
The Alaska cable represents an
outlay of more than $3,000,000. It
was first established in 1904. It em
braces 2,600 miles of cable and 1,000
miles of land line. There are twelve
radio stations, two new ones being
under process of installation at Fort
Yukon and Holy Cross.
Fort Yukon will be the point far
thest north reached by the cable ser
vice on the American continent. It
is directly over the Arctic Circle.
The rate on night letters of fifty
words or less will be the same as
that on ten word day messages. At
important stations in Alaska all
night service has been established.
