tBREEZY LETTER
FROM SEATTLE
CORRESPONDENT
SEATTLE, July 1 (Special to the
Times).—Secretary of the Interior,
Jchn Barton Payne, and Secretary of
^ the Navy, Josephus Daniels, will sail
from Seattle about July TO for Alaska
aboard the navy destroyer, accom
pandied by Admiral Rodman com
manding the Pacific fleet. The party
will get first hand information on the
government railroad, the coal fields
which the navy is now exploring with
an idea of getting out fuel for the
Pacific coast fleet, and to study the
development policies urged for the
territory.
Approximately 500 Alaskan pros
pectors have made the trip across the
Bering strait in a row boat in twenty
-j# four hours in search of Siberian gold,
reports Thomas Tenneson, a trader at
Point Barrow, one of the farthest
northern points on the American con
tinent. Tenneson reports that on a
clear day one can look from the
Alaskan shore and see the continent
of Asia.
Twenty more carloads of structural
steel for the great 504-foot span which
will form the main structure of the
Alaskan Engineering Commission’s
bridge over the Susitna river for the
government’s Alaska railroad have ar
rived in Seatttle.
Col. Janies uoraon bteese, newiy
appointed president of the Alaska
railroad commission arrived in Seattle
this week, and left on Wednesday for
Prince Rupert. Col. Steese plans , an
overland trip to that point and will
sail for Alaska July 18. locating in
Juneau. Col. Steese says: “Every
thing possible will be done to im
prove road conditions in Alaska. That
work is very necessary—there must
"be a complete system of roads there
to connect with the railroads, if the
railroads are to be of any service to
the territory. We got an appropria
tion of $350,000 from congress and
“have other funds available which
gives us more than $500,000 to work
on. That isn’t much but we are as
sured of continued congressional back
ing and T hope that within the next
two years we will get a lot of good
work done.
“There are about 4,900 miles oi
roads in the territory now—sled
roads largely. It will be our prin
* cipal work to keep the sled roads
open and to open new and shorter
trails wherever possible. The nrinci
pal wagon road is that from Fairbanks
south to the Copper river connecting
with the railroad at Chitina and go
!ng on down to Valdez. There is much
work to be done there T am told.
“I expect to spend the remainder oi
the summer covering as much of the
territory as possible and hope to gel
over to Nome before navigation
closes.’’
Mr. Edward W. Nelson of Washing
eon, D. C. is here to sail for Alaska
on the Victoria. He is the chief oi
the U. S. biological survey. With other
government officials he will establisl
a reindeer experimental station neai
Nome and will organize a staff of war
dens to protect Alaska’s land fur bear
rng animals. Congress has authorized
"him to expend $40,000 in his Alaskan
■work of animal study and propagation
“Alaska’s reindeer herds now com
prise 200,0000 animals, but we expeci
that this number will swell into the
millions within the next few years
That is why under constant federal
supervision, this will develop into an '
outstanding industry and Seattle will
be the main port through which vast ,
quantities of reindeer meat will be
shipped,” said Mr. Nelson.
Nearly one-half of the mainland of
Alaska is suitable for grazing and the
forage problem will be given great
attention by Mr. Nelson and his staff. :
Dr. Hadwin will be stationed at the
native village of Unalakleet on the
coast of Norton Sound, sixty miles
from St. Michael, where a permanant
station will be established.
Donald Stevenson, formerly of the
forest service in Montana, but now on j
Mr. Nelson’s staff, will reach Seattle ,
in a few days, and will go to the Aleu
tion islands, where he will assist in
promoting sheep raising on the Aleu
tian islands, making his headquarters
at Unalaska.
Two ice plants with a capacity of
freezing 100 carcasses a day will be
built this summer in Alaska. The
Hudson Bay Company has leased
extensive tracts of grazing land for
reindeer pasture. A. M. Bailey of Ju
neau will be chief warden to enforce
the federal regulations.
Shipments of this season’s salmon
pack are arriving on every boat from
southeastern Alaska. The annual run
of fish in the Alaskan panhandle is
reaching large proportions and a con
siderable movement of the fish pro
duct to outside markets through the
port of Seattle is under way. The can
neries at Cordova were first to get
this season’s pack to Seattle.
Consolidation of steamship lines to
Alaska, advocated by the interior pe
partment will not be opposed by the
Alaskan Steamship Company and the
Pacific Steamship Company, the only
two services maintained out of this
port catering to passenger trade on
any large scale.
MARY PICKFORD AT
HER BEST IN FILM
“DADDY LONG LEGS”
You may have seen funnier films
than the first two reels of “Daddy
; Long Legs”—but we haven’t. Strikes
I are common enough now days, but
! this orphan’s “Great Prune Strike”
j takes the sandwiches and cider. It’s
! hard cider at that, and Judy and
Freckle Face imbibed not wisely, but
tco well. How the matron did roar
to be sure. It looked as though Judy
was in for a bad spell of weather, but
j her sunny disposition and nimble wits
1 had made a powerful friend, so at
last Judy had her chance.
Mary Pickford has made many pic
tures, some very good, others ordi
nary, but “Daddy Long Legs” far ex
cels everything she has done here
tofore. It^is in truth, an attraction
extraordinary, and those who saw it
last night at the Empress will prove
its best advertisers. If you failed to
see it last night, you cannot afford
to miss it tonight, for this is your
last chance to see one of the best
pictures that has ever been made.
On Thursday night only, Elsie Fer
■ guson and Thomas Meighan in a
strong drama of the. Canadian North
west, “Heart of the Wilds.” A play
of strong men and beautiful
*
women, thrilling with action and puls
| ing with life.

VANCOUVER, B. C., July 7 (by
Associated Press).—So that miners
[locking to the new silver strikes in
:he Portland canal country may know
it all times on which side of the
boundary they are prospecting bound
ary lines between Canada and Alaska
are to be clearly defined this summer.
Several Canadian government engi
neers were here recently on their way
from Ottawa to Prince Rupert,
where they will start north working
along the lines. They will proceed
northward until they meet a party
of American government engineers
who are to work south from the Nnuk
river, 100 miles north of Prince Ru
pert. A boundary trail cut fifteen
years ago along the boundary will be
cleared and cairns and monuments
will be erected.
