MYSTERY SURROUNDS
REPRESENTATIVE OF LINE
MYSETERIOUS REPRESENTATION
E. Z. Bowen did not not come here to
take any position or anything else
with the Government Engineering
Commission. The Gateway yesterday
printed a story taken from the Juneau
Empire in which it was stated that Mr.
Bowen came to conduct the commis
sariat department of the railroad con
struction work. It is also stated that
Mr. Bowen is a personal friend of
Secretary Lane. Mr. Bowen denies
the first allegation but pleads guilty
to the second indictment. He came
on the same boat as Mr. Smoot who
was also accused of being connected
with the government in some respect,
particularly as representative of See
reary Lane. Some man came on that
boat to represent the Secretary of the
Interior department and we may yet
discover him if we can only keep up
the guesses. One thing Is certain, and
that is that Mr. Smmot takes an un
usual interest in the railroad subject
and has come well supplied with maps,
charts, etc, of routes and other sus
picious things. It is also known that
he knows Secretary Lane rather Inti
mately. On the other hand Commis
sioner Thomas Riggs denies that Mr.
Smoot is here for the Interior depart
ment. Will the man, if there is such
a man, who represents Secretary Lane
here, come forward and confess?—

"BUSINESS SUICIDE"
The man who stops his little ad
Is not so very wise, bedad;
Because his advertisments tell
The public what he has to sell,
And if his ad is not on deck,
The people pass him up, by heck;
And none of them will hesitate
To trade with mercants up-to-date.
To stop your ad, we would remark.
Is just like winking in the dark;
You may know what it means, but gee.
Nobody else can ever see.
So do not for a moment think
That when you cut out printer's ink
You're saving money on the side;
‘Tis merely business suicide.

FROM THE WESTWARD:
SEWARD, Aug. 16—There was a
rumor around town that the good
steamship Dora would be back on the 1
westward run for the October trip.:
Agent McDonald of the Alaska Steam-!

foundation for this statement. He
says he has heard nothing about the
contemplated change and believes that
the Dora is too small a boat to handle
the westward run in either the winter
or the summer.
