jDETECTIVES IRE
i NEEDED ON
THEM
Governor J. A, F. A. Strong says the
United States government should hire
trained detectives and keep them on
the job until the perpetrators of the
many murders in the interior have
been brought to justice.
“The twelve or fifteen murders
which have been committed In the
Third and Fourth divisions within the
last few years are very good evidence
that there is a murderer, or gang of
murderers at large in that section,”
said Governor Strong, "and I haven't
a doubt in the world that if trained
men were put on the job the guilty
parties would be found, and that all
of the crimes would be traced to the
same source.
"At the time of the finding of the
bodies on the Valdez trail a couple of
years ago the government put two
men on the pay roll for over a year
without any results. Marshal Brenne
man wrote to me at the time they
were let go and I wrote to the attor
ney general and asked him to retain
them for a time longer. He replied
that the funds were exhausted and so
the men were dropped from the pay
roll and nothing had been accom
plished.
"The federal appropriations do not
allow anythnig for the tracing of mur
derers, which is a mistake. A good big
sum should be devoted to this work.
Now if the marshal wants to investi
gate a crime of this sort he must
• shoulder the expense himself, and as
a result very little of it is done.
"I certainly think the government is
at fault in the matter and it should be
remedied with all possible dispatch,”
he ended.
According to word received recently
from Fairbanks, the people of the in
terior sections are beginning to be
lieve that the “Blueberry Kid” is dead
and that he was murdered by the same
party who murdered the rest of the
party on the Koyukuk several years
ago.
The "Kid” has been reported from
every section of the United States and
has been searched for for years but no
trace of him has ever been found and
9
those who have given the matter any
thought have decided that he met the
fate of “Dutch Marie" and the rest of
the party.
When the governor was asked his
opinion of the formation of a mounted
police force through the Territory, to
be patterned after the Northwest
Mounted Police, he said he was op
posed to the suggestion.
“The expense for a police force big
enough for the entire Territory would
be prohibitive. We have the marshals
and deputies scattered over the terri
tory now, and a large police force in
addition would make an enormously
increased expense, without any par
ticular advantage," he said.

VALDEZ GLACIER
RAPIDLY RECEDING
During the past few weeks the big
glacier behind Valdez has been reced
ing at a fast rate. The men working
on mining properties near the glacier
report that it has dropped from 50 to
100 feet since spring and that It has
melted faster this year than ever be
fore. The horse owned by Jim Wilson
which jumped down a crevasse fifteen
feet deep is now to be seen on a
pinnacle of ice. The volume of water
flowing from the pothole is immense
and represents a large amount of
melted ice.—Valdez Miner.
