Ralph McDonald, an old-time
friend of General Superintendent
Jameg O'Reilly, came in on the Mar
iposa and will probably go to work
lor the Commission. Reference to a
sourdough in this country usually
means a miner, but in this case it is
a railroader, as Mr. McDonald is
certainly an old-time railroader,
having been employed on the Alaska
Central and later on the Alaska
Northern. However, Mr. McDonald
took time from his railroad work to
make the stampede into Cache creek

one dispatch at this offics. l'ostmas
ler Wood and assistants started
■■'irk on the mail at 3 o'clock ibis
morning and the office was open for

Arthur i Jett, au old-timer
around th, Dope and Sunrise mining
I 'stricts, i in Anchorage, arming
n the Ma.’rcsa. Mr. Joit has re
icntly returned from Honolulu,
where he has been for some time in
cresting capital in his big dredging
proposition on East Fork, near K --
nai. He is the holder of some 1,200
:cres of placer ground on this creek,
and will prospect the ground thor
uighly with churn drills.
The little flurry among the steve
diii'es and the steamship ca npany
is all right; so said Meaurs. Charles
deters and Jack Sutherland. It
seems that the longshoremen, four
teen In number, were employed by
the steamship company through the
Commission, and demanded time
from the time they left the dock
until they returned, and the com
pany did not see the matter In that
light. The game started at 3 a. m.
sharp, there were two hands dealt,
and at exactly 3:10 a. m. everything
was lovely and the goose was sus
pended.

sary equipment for the purpose, and
'■xpect to be open for business one
day next wek. Mr. and Mrs. Strye
.cere forced to remain in Seattle
twenty three days in order to get
passage on an Anchorage-bound
steamer, so great is the demand for
passenger accommodations for An
chorage. Inquiry at the office of the
Vdmlral line developed the fact that
all passenger space is taken until
August. Mrs. Strye is a sister of
William Logemann of the mechan
ical department of the Pioneer. She
•vas accompanied by Richard Loge
mann, the seven-year-old son of Mr.
Logemann.
He was a miner, a sourdough
fresh from the interior, but he wore
a sunlt of new store clothes. He said
he was going to take the steamer
Mariposa for the great outside and
was down in TTommission town to
see the trains, hear the engine whis
tle and feel once more the delight
ful sensation of cinders crawling
down his back and generally get an
idea of what real lire was like be
fore entering into the turmoil of
Seward and Seattle. In this he was
disappointed, and agreeably so, as
he had no idea of the magnitude of
the work being done by the Com
mission, the number of men working
at all kinds of different work, the
new store room, office buildings, the
grading of the streets, sewer work,
the activity at the dock, the freight
that was being handled, in fact the
general air of push and vigor and
work accomplished was a revelation.
He spoke particularly of the cour
tesy extended him on every hand and
made the remark that ho would be
compelled to stop over in Seward to
get an idea of country life.
