ALASKA IS ALL READY
SEATTLE, August 14.—The new
lighthouse tender Rose for Alaska has
received her finishing touches in Se
attle and it is expected will start for
Alaska at the end of this week or bv
the first of next. Last Saturday she
left the drydock on the East Water

final inspection. All supplies have ,
been taken aboard preparatory to
coming north. She was built especial
ly as a lighthouse tender for the !
northern district at a total cost of
$87,950.
In her official trial spins held a

Rose came up to all expectations,
meeting the requirements of the

mand of Capt. \\. K. Curtis, master;
of the Anderson company’s lake
Washington steamboat Atlanta, with
Andrew Sandell and S. F. Ward, also
of the Anderson fleet, in charge of the
engine room.
The lighthouse bureau was repre
sented by J. S. O’Brien, superintend
ent of construction for the service,
and Robert Warwick, inspector of the
Washington-Oregon lighthouse dia- i
trict. Others aboard were Capt. John
L. Anderson, president of the Ander
son company, and Capt. H. C. Lord,
Lnited States inspector of boilers.
The Rose ranks as one of the most
beautiful vessels ever turned out by
Seattle shipbuilders. Her interior is
fitted up in palatial style.

FRANK H. WASKEY BOUND
“OUTSIDE'’ WITH GOLD
(Seattle Times)
Frank H. Waskey, Alaska’s first
delegate in congress, will return to
Seattle this fall after being “buried”
in the wilderness for several years,
and will bring with him several thou
sand dollars in raw gold. Waskey, in
a letter to J. C. Gaffney, formerly of
Nome, says he has made a new strike
at Marshall City, on the lower Yukon.
Waskey made a big fortune at
Nome, and spent a large part of it
at Washington endeavoring to get
congress to pass a territorial govern
ment law for Alaska. The balance of
his fortune was involved in* the col
lapse of a big tunnel near Nome,
vhich had taken a large crew of men
:wo years to construct.
In his letter the former delegate
■ays he has ground-sluiced a large
aact and has sent to nome for men
'.o assist him in shoveling the pay
travel into the boxes. He expresses
i hope that somebody will start an
rp-to-date store on the lower Y'ukon,
is the circle of vision of the* traders
ndigenous to that section is bounded
>y calico, tea and muskrats.
