CANADIAN PIONEER
CROSSES LAST TRAIL
HELENA, Mont., June 15 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The funeral of a pio
neer of Montana, British Columbia and
California was held here recently
when Coles O. Van Wart was laid at
* rest. Mr. Van Wart, who was 85
years of age, was born in New Bruns
wick, Canada, where he left as a boy
of 20 to make the trip to California
via the Isthmus of Panama. After
three years in the placer fields of Cali
fornia he went to British Columbia,
where he was one of a small party
that made the first trip up the Fraser
river. Cleaning up a small fortune in
gold on that trip, he returned to New
Brunswick, only to come west again,
this time to Montana, in 1868. He set
tled near the Mullan tunnel, at Green
horn, but after a time removed to this
section, where he had since resided.
The widow and two grandchildren sur
vive.
ALASKAN DELEGATION
AT CHICAGO CONVENTION
flp A __
Part of the delegation from Alaska
is at the Hotel Sherman, G. C. Haz
lett of Cordova, Alaska, is acting
national committeeman. He was
asked yesterday when the rest of the
delegation will arrive.
“He’ll be here Sunday or Monday,”
he replied. “He is Thomas Reed, of
Nome. When he gets here we’ll hold
a caucus in the lobby and name each
other for various offices and com
mittees.”—Chicago Herald.
Now they are talking of a nation
wide primary. Then the next step will
be an international one to select del
egates to the league of notions.
Mr. Bryan says a mandate is op
posed to the democratic principle of
self-government. So why not repeal
the Democrat mandate over the col
ored majority in the South?
MINING PROPERTIES
WILL BE SURVEYED
H. H. Waller, of the firm of Hubbell
& Waller, civil and mining engineers
of Seattle, arrived in Cordova last
night and left on this morning’s train
for McCarthy. From there he will
go to Chititu creek and then to the
headwaters of the Nabesna river for
the purpose of examining and survey
ing mining properties. Mr. Waller
will return to McCarthy about Aug
ust 1 and go to Tonsina for the same
purpose. He spent the summers of
1913-14 surveying in the White and
Shushanna disti’icts, having made both
trips via Cordova.
During the war Mr. Waller was a
lieue'tnant in the heavy artillery and
acted as an arientation officer ixi
France. His regiment had the 8-inch
howitzers, which pi’oved to be the
most accurate and efficient piece of
heavy mobile artillery on the front.
WASHINGTON, June 15 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The U. S. S. Read has
been ordered to Tampico, Mexico,
whei'e the first fatal case of Bubonic
plague was reported yesterday. The
American consul there asked for aid.
PENSACOLA, Fla., June 15 (by As
sociated Press).—Innoculation of a
guinea pig from serum taken from a
suspected Bubonic plague victim re
sulted in the pig’s death and strength
ened the opinion that at least one
genuine case of the plague existed
here.
MEXICO CITY, June 15 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Two new cases of Bu
bonic plague were reported today at
Tampico.
COLD SNAP AVERTS
FLOOD IN MONTANA
HELENA, Mon1.., June 15 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The unusual cold (map
of the early days of June is believed
to have averted danger of a flood.
While the Missouri and other rivers
have risen, no serious damage has
been reported. The warm weather of
May threatened to carry off the tre
mendous snowdrifts in the Rocky
mountains too rapidly. The prolonged
cold has caused some setback to plant
ing, but damage to crops is neither
general nor serious, according to of
ficial reports.
SPECULATION TO BE
PREVENTED IN SALE
COLUMBIA BASIN LAND
SPOKANE, June 14 (by Associated
Press).—To prevent speculation in
lands of tbe Columbia basin project
and to permit actual settlers to ac
quire farms at present prices when
water is available, will be the policy
of the Columbia basin survey com
mission, Marvin Chase, cnairman of
the commission meeting in Spokane.
“Through co-operation of govern
ment, state and railroad officials, it
will be possible absolutely to fix
prices on sufficient areas within the
Columbia basin to prevent specula
tion to the detriment of prospective
settlers,” he said.
The Columbia basin survey com
mission has made a study of land val
ues in all parts of the project, ac
cording to Mr. Chase, and as deter
mined that arid lands for sheep graz
ing purposes are worth now from
$3 to $5 an acre; lands producing
small wheat crops in years of more
thru average rainfall, $10 to $15 an
acre, and improved lands, $20 to $35
an acre.
“Fully 20 per cent of the land in
the project will be controlled as to
price and settlement is commenced,
or if sales are attempted before the
project becomes assured, it will be
possible to head off the speculator
who may desire to reap an unholy
profit from the ignorant ill-advised
purchaser,” Mr. Chase declared.
"Those who contemplate purchase
of land within the Columbia basin
with the expectation of irrigation in
the near future should be advised,
that it may be some years before
active work could be undertaken,
even if conditions prove favorable.”
The official bartender in the head
quarters of the league of notions will
have to be a real chemist. Just think
of the number of different national
drinks he will be called on to concoct.
