GET IN THE WAGON AND RIDE
I
Delegate James Wlckersham Is now
at Juneau, attending the session of
the territorial legislature nnd udvo
- eating statehood for Alaska.
Hefore leaving Seattle for the North
he gave out some interesting informa
tion. According to Judge Wicker
sham Alaska's cloud not only con
tains a silver lining, but its whole tex
ture is silver, ns he believes that be
fore the present administration passes
out a complete railroad system, de
veloping practically every section of
the country, will be in operation. A
bill passed late in the season, which
insures a school system, Including the
founding of an agricultural college
and school of mines at Fairbanks, is
another reason for Judge Wicker
sham's satisfaction.
"Alaskans need not worry their
heads over the destination or route of
the government railroad,'* said Judge
Judge Wlckersham. "It will not be
one railroad, but a whole system of
railroads before the present adminis
tration steps out. Alaska is going to
be the scene of a demonstration of
the theory that government- owned
railroads can develop a country, and
Alaskans can rest assured that the test
will be thorough.
Plenty of Money Assured.
"While $2,000,000 only were appro
priated for the the first work there
will be plenty more forthcoming as it
is needed as the committee would
have as cheerfully recommended $10,
000,000. They take the view that the
test should be a through one, and
there will be no tightening of the purse
strings when more money is needed.
The appropriation was kept small be
cause Secretary Lane’s plans for the
summer only entailed that much ex
pense. It can be stated as a certain
ty that railroads will go eventually to
all the places mentioned as possible
locations.
"Secretary Lane has charge, as you
all know, of the construction and op
eration of the Alaskan railroad. The
whole matter has been left with him.
He is a business man who understands
railroads; he is a great, broad-minded
statesman, the biggest man in the
president’s cabinet, and it is greatly
to the advantage of Alaska that the
opening of the territory is under his
supervision.
"There are two roads going out of
the interior of Alaska, the Alaskan
Northern and Copper Itiver roads. Mr.
Lane thinks it would not be well to
build another line along the side of
either of them. He thinks he ought
to buy one or the other of these roads,
but has not signed a contract with
either.
“Sentiment in Washington is very
fnvorable toward Alaska. There is a
complete change of heart made mani
fest, and congress will do all that is
necessary to develop the territory."

ADOPTS PLANS FOR
NEW ALASKA BOAT
The new coast and geodetic survey
steamer to be built for Alaska service
out of the appropriation of $289,000
provided in this year’s appropriation
bill for two ships will be a duplicate
of a coast cutter, if enough money can
be got of the appropriation for the
purpose.
Secretary Redfleld expects to buy a
yacht for the Atlantic coast survey
purposes and to build a vessel for Al
aska. In casting about for designs he
has found that those used in the con
struction of the two new coast guard
cutters now being built at Newport
News would fit his purpose admirably.
They are for 900-ton ships, and that
is about what he wants. Further,
considerable expense would be saved
in the making of plans.

' DALTON TO ENGAGE
IN FREIGHT VENTURE
Jack Dalton, of this city, is at pres
ent In Juneau defending a suit
brought against him by Attorney Cobb
for lawyer's fees alleged to be due
the latter. The Juneau Empire has
the following to say of our townsman:
Mr. Dalton, his relations with the
Alaska Engineering Commission hav
ing been close enough to amount to
confidence, does not care to publicly
anticipate what move may be made
by them in the next few days. He
speaks favorably of the Ship Creek
country and its adjacent harbor, which
he avers is open to shipping the year
around, and for eight months is en
tirely free from Ice.
“If any coal Is mined In the Mat
anuska It will have to be taken out
by the way of Ship Creek,” he re
marked.
As to his future plans he Is some
what In doubt Just yet, but said:
"I am looking forward to a light
erage contract for the transportation
of freight In the Knlk Arm country.
There are about twenty miles of un
navigable water there over which sup
plies for the government road will
have to be taken In the event that
this route Is chosen.”
Mr. Dalton Is nursing a sore throat,
the result of Indoor living, but other
wise is rugged and agile as a young
man. and Indicated that he was anx
ious to get back on the trail again.
KATALLA OIL WAS
DISCOVERED IN 1880
H. T. Barrett, of Katalla, who has
been spending the winter in Seattle,
has a fund of interesting anecdotes
about the Boring River coal fields, and
he released the following one to the
Post-Intelligencer:
"The coal and oil of that district
was first brought to my attention In
1880,” said Mr. Barrett. "Some In
dians brought me out some specimens
which they described as black rock
that would burn, and asked me what
it was. Later some other parties
came across some seepage petroleum,
and having recently become a'u aint
ed with the white man's s:, iuj imme
diately thought that the black fluid
wsa the base for making the sweet
of which they were so fond. They
tasted It but It did not come up to
expectations, so they brought a can
of it out to me and wanted me to make
white man’s medicine over and put
the sweetness Into it. They were a
disappointed bunch when I told them
that however all-powerful the white
man was he could not turn illuminat
ing oil into molasses. They had fig
ured out that they had a never-fail
ing source of the stufT that made their
scanty store of flour so palatable.”

Probably no one will ever know the
number of people who have disap
peared In the Northland. Kvery mall
brings many letters of inquiry from
those outside trying to trace friends
and relatives.
Sometimes a bunch of bleached
bones, a skull or a skeleton found
here and there in the vast silent
reaches hint at unknown tragedies,
hut real knowledge of the manner of
death and Identity of the victims
must ever remain one of the many
secrets locked In the heart of the
north.
In answer to the numerous disap
pearances a bill has been introduced
In the territorial legislature as fol
lows: »
An act to repeal Chapter 60, to
amend Chapter 88 of the Code of Civ
il Procedure in respect to the dis
position of estates of persons who have
disappeared of the session laws of
1913, and to amend Section 1730 of
the Civil Code of Procedure.
That Section 1730 be amended by
adding the following paragraphs: :::
That whenever any person owning %
property in any precinct of the ter- if
ritory shall disappear and cannot be $
found upon reasonable inquiry, the j|
commissioner of the precinct, in which
real property is situated or personal if
property is found belonging to such if
missing person, may, upon application fi
of any relative who would be an heir $
to such missing person’s estate in i|
case of his death, appoint a guardian :>•
of the estate of such missing person, [a
and in case there is no such heir, or i|
in the event of the failure of such heir :%
to apply, then such guardian may be
appointed upon the application of any *
friend or other person interested In if
the estate of such missing person; and if
in such cases the provisions of Chap- if
or 88 of the Code of Civil Procedure f:
relating to the guardianship of the if
estate of Insane persons shall be ap- if
plicable and shall govern proceedings fi
affecting such estate.
If Buch missing person is not heard if
from for a perior of six years contin- if
uously, he shall be presumed to be if
dead, and after the expiration of six fi
years from the date of his disappear- if
ance, his estate shall be administered "
in accordance with the then existing —
provisions of the law applicable to the *
administration of the estate of de
ceased ^ersons.
The appointment heretofore of any
guardian of the estate of any missing
person as provided by Chapter 60 of
the Session Laws of 1913, whether
made upon the application of a rel
ative or other person, Is hereby rat
ified.
