•ALASKA BUREAU
SEATTLE, June 25 (Special to the
Daily Times).—The Alaska bureau of
the chamber of commerce has just
issued a beautiful new booklet of 120
pages giving interesting facts and
figures regarding the resources and
<3fcportunites of the territory of Alas
ka. The facts were compiled and pre
pared by Mr. J. L. McPherson, man
a^ger of the bureau, wrhose wide ac
quaintance with and deep interest in
Alaska and its unbounded wealth
make him the best known authority
regarding that territory and its re
sources and opportunities. The new'
booklet is handsomely printed and
profusely illustrated with Alaskan
views, and will prove of great value
to the territory, through its distribu
tion by the chamber of commerce. In
the introduction a statement is made
that “the adoption of a broad con
structive policy that will make for
the rational development of Alaska
through peopling the country by men
and women equipped to combat the
trials and hardships of the northern
frontier, and such people attached to
Alaska by home and business ties
Is the only foundation on wrhich may
be built a prosperous and progres
sive Northland that will be a source
of strength to the nation.”
*A11 the industrial possibilities of
Alaska are set forth with tables and
statistics and natural undeveloped
wrealth.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger
gives prominence to an article devoted
to Alaska and Seattle as the gateway
of its great possibilities. It says in
the introduction: “Think of this bust
ling. fresh air city being the sole cor
ridor to a nature’s storehouse twelve
times as large as the state of New
York and one-fifth the size of the
Tlfriited States; a virgin out doors
rich beyond belief in agricultural
posibilities, fishing, furs, water power,
coal and other minerals, timber and
marvelous scenery.
“Seattle has an industrial payroll of
more than $200,000,000 and a back
country that produces lavishly ::f
great staples but if asked to state her
most priceless possession I would un
hesitatingly say Alaska. Seattle being
tl^p sole market place of an area that
has more gold than California, more
copper than Michigan and Arizona
combined, more coal than Pennsylvan
ia and the richest fisheries in the
world, is something that the Gods
have bestowed.”
So great is the demand for trans
portation on the Shriner’s special ex
cursion to Alaska. June 26, immed
iately following the close of the an
nual convention this year held at Port
land June 21 to 25, that the steam
ship Jefferson, of the Alaska Steam
ship Company, has been chartered in
addition to the special voyage of the
steamship Spokane of the Pacific
Steamship Company’s fleet. Both
steamers take a full cargo of freight.
The steamship Ketchikan is com
pleting cargo for Alaskan archipeligo
points and Norton sound. She will
tak|fc, a large quantity of supplies for
Unalakleet and Faise pass, near the
entrance to Unimak pass, and Shen
proceed to Nome, Golovin and St.
Michaels.
On the arrival of Colonel Ward
final papers will be signed in the con
tract with the U. S. Steel Products
Company for a bridge over Hurricane
Gulch, 170 miles north of Skagway.
The bridge will be 919 feet long, to
cost $329,322.
Federal agents seized 410 cases and
38 tins of Alaska salmon on a libel
charging a violation of the food and
drug acts. The salmon was a portion
of a shiment of 612 cases, bearing
the Seaketch brand, packed by the
Alaska Fish Company.
A shipment of “T N T” and blasting
powder makes up a big part of the
c?i*go of the Admiral Line steamer
Admiral Goodrich which sailed from
Dupont anchorage, stopped at Belling
ham to take on a deck load of lum
ber, also to be used in railroad con
struction. Two big steel cranes to be
used in the construction of a new rail
way bridge over the Susltna river are
going north on the Admiral Goodrich.
One has a lifting capacity of 100 tons
and the other will raise 45 tons.
The freighter is also taking a sup
ply of gasolene and oil for the gas
oline stations at Kodiak and Snug
harbor and Kenai.

FRENCHDELIGHT
IN JAZZ MUSIC
WASHINGTON, June 25 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The French public
likes American jazz dance music so
well that dancers, contrary to cus
tom, encore selections three and four
times. Moreover, American dance
music sells in France at prices three
times as high as at home. The Amer
ican vice-consul at Nantes reports that
American publishers are overlooking
a golden opportunity. The marked
rythm and uniform tempo of American
dance music, introduced in France by
the soldier bands, have created an
appetite for more, the vice-consul
says.
DEATH RELIEVES PATIENT
AFTER LONG CONFINEMENT
WARM SPRINGS, Mont., June 25
(by Associated Press).—Lloyd Keat
ing, the first inmate of the state insane
asylum here, admitted in 1877, who
died recently, aged 77, was regarded
as one of the shrewdest jduges of cat
tle in the state. Cattle buying had
been his business before his mind be
came unbalanced 43 years ago, and
during his long incarmeration he was
permitted, again and again, to go with
friends about the state to advise them
on the purchase of herds. His men
tal trouble did not make him violent
and he was always held as a “trusty.”

about half the state—have appropri
