The Standard Oil steamer Asuncion,
which has been in port for the past
two days discharging oil for the rail
road and steamboat companies left at
an early hour this morning. The As
uncion is commanded by Capt. J. W.
Spencer, who is making his first trip
to these waters, however, having visit
ed almost every port along the coast
from Southeastern Alaska to the
Arctic.
Capt. Spencer, as a youth of 17,
made his first trip to Cordova, or ra
ther to the site of the town, on the
revenue cutter Bear in 1891, and he
tells an interesting story of the voyage
which extended to the Pribilof islands. 1
On this trip he carried several distin 1
guished passengers, Including Govern
or Knapp, Judge Johnson and Marshal i
Marshal Shoup. One of the principal
objects of the voyage was to capture
“Russian Pete” an Alaskan bandit,
whose deeds of rapine and plunder had
made him a terror to the inhabitants
of a wide section of the coast. The
Bear, then in command of Captain
Healey, called in at almost every in
let and village in search of the bandit.
I ■
He was finally located on a small
island near Unga, and preparation*
were made for his capture. Two boat
loads of men, armed with guns nnd
cutlasses left the cutter. One of these
was commanded by the then Second
Lieutenant Jarvis, who was afterwards
an official of the Northwestern Fish
eries Company and wall known to all I
Alaskans. The boats landed on op
posite sides of the island to prevent
Pete from making his e.scape. As J
the boat Mr. Spencer was in approacn- [
ed the shore, a stout, well preserved
man of abut 60 years of age, came !
lown to the beach and assisted them j
to land. It was Russian Pete. The j
terror of the Alaskan coast made not
he slightest resistance, and the brave
Pete was taken into custody, and ■
ater, at Sitka, was tried for his many ;
crimes. j i
It was during this voyage that the '
Irst reideer were brought to .Masha,
•
i small herd of sixteen having been
I
jought from from the natives at Holy
’ross bay, Siberia, and taken to Un-1
tlaska, but the experiment of breeding
hem there was not successful.
Captain Spencer again came north
>n the Bear in 1892, and this time the
:utter brought Prof. Russell and party,
vho were the first to climb Mt. St.
Slias. The landing of the party was
nade at Icy bay, a small inlet west of
Ifakutat. The surf was running
leavily at the time, and Lieutenant
larvis, who commanded the first boat
•eached the shore in safety, but the

Lieutenant Walker's body was after
wards recovered and taken to Sitka

In 1898 Opat. Spencer quit the sea
and sought to make a fortune in the
gold fields of the Klondike. With a
party of four he crossed the White
Pass and went down the Yukon to
Dawson. Later he went down the
river to St. Michael and Nome, and for
a time operated a small schooner be
tween these two points.
In 1902 Capt. Spencer was again
back to his old vocation, and made
several trips to these waters as first
officer on the Valencia, since which
time he has not been north, until his
present voyage.
SENATOR TANNER
SEES "NIGGER"!
The talk of Statehood and its ad
vocacy by those who have been op
posing the movement to secure a "full
rerritorial form of government" for
Alaska has aroused considerable talk
imong the members of the Legislature
luring the last few days, says the
runeau Empire. The supporters of a
vider measure of self-government for
the Territory are generally auspicious
of the movement. Among those who
see a “Nigger in the wood pile" is
Senator J. M. Tanner, who adheres to
the position he took in the Senate
when he spoke on the Hubbard mem
orial which it was sought to substitute
for the Millard memorial in the Sen
ate.
Senator Tanner said on that oc
casion:
“Consistancy is a jewel. It looks
inconsistent to Ine for a Senator to
claim on one day when discussing a
memorial asking for a ‘full Territorial
form of government' that the time was
not ripe for it, because the expense
would be too much, and the next day
to bring in a memorial asking for
Statehood. It looks to me ns though
there is good sized colored gentleman
in the woodpile.
“I belive this Statehood memorial
is just another method by which it is
sought to defeat the memorial for
I
full Territorial form of government’
which President Wilson has recom
mended for Alaska.
“If Statehood is 'knocking at our
door’ why has there been no effort
made In the laHt two years to pro
cure even a 'full Territorial form of
government?' Our Delegate knows
that the President favors it, why has
he Introduced no bill to extend the
powers of the Territory?"
