SHIP CREEK BDSY SCENE
LOT QUESTION UNCERTAIN
Ship Creek, on Knik Arm, is fast
assuming the proportions of a city
—one constructed chiefly of tents—
due to uncertainty of the lot ques
tion. If this matter were deter
mined and the lots sold or disposed
of In some way so that private par
ties could build with some degree of
certainty as to their status, then the
little city would grow with a phenome
nal grokth. As it is all of the one
hundred and fifty people now there are
as busy ns bees, but their labor, for
the most part, is confined to building
but temporary quarters, because of
the situation.
Just how soon the townsite will be
thrown open, or how the lots will be
disposed of, are questions which no
one now there is qualified to answer,
all hough conjectures are rife. Some
appear to believe that there will be a
drawing, at so much per draw; oth
ers maintain that the lots will be sold
at public auction to the highest bid
ler; still others maintain that pto
neers will have the first chance to re
tain or acquire lots located by them;
while yet others think that it will be
quite a while before the townsite is
ready for public disposal and be
lieve that the squatters, if they are
not in the way, will not be molested
for the time being.
To add to the problem is the claim
of Thomas H. Jeter, who located a
homestead there three years prior
to the creation of the townsite re
serve. Jeter does not propose to
surrender any rights he may inherit
through his entry, and has enlisted the
services of his cousin, a prominent
attorney and a former lieutenant gov
ernor of California, to aid him In the
matter.
But complex as the situation ap
pears on Its face, it is safe to say that
Hie engineering commission has def
inite plans with regard to the town
site matter, which will bo announced
in due time. Perhaps before the end
of the month the announcement will
be forthcoming, as Lieutenant Mears,
of the commission, has arrived at
Ship Creek.
A water right has been filed with _
the forest service calling for 5,000 mtn —
era’ inches of water from Ship Creek,
for a water power and electric sys
tern for the town. Capital is avail- :j£
able to finance the system.
There are five restaurants, four
lodging houses a ndtwo small stores
there now. R. C. Nichols will open
a jewelry store. A man is there to
open a meat market and cold storage :j:j
plant. S. S. Soper, an old-time Al- iji;
askan, will open a barber shop. Ham
sey & Campbell, from Seattle, will jij:
engage in the same business.

”
THE HAGUE, April 28—Much atten
tion has been attracted throughout
Holland by the Dutch Socialist Demo
cratiB congress and the series of res
olutions put forward in connection
with the war and its effects.
Two of these resolutions favored co
operation with all the other bodies
working for peace. Others called for
strong action by the government in
the relief of distress brought about by
the war; for an alteration of the sys
tem of the delivery of wheat and
flour so that the price of bread shall
be reduced to the level prevailing in
August, since when it has risen by
one-third; and finally demanding an
agitation at the proper time in view
of covering the burdens thrown upon
the country by war by means of a
levy on capital
Socialists in The Hague, as well as
in other cities of Holland, are calling
for government action to provide for
the payment of house rent and the
necessities of life for the ^unemployed
whose numbers are constantly increas

TANANA RIVER iS
NOW FREE OF ICE
The ice went out of the river at
Fairbanks Tuesday , and the Tatiana
is now clear for many miles below the
city. This is the earliest breakup on
record. in 1912 the ice went out on
April 29. In 1913 the ice remained
in place until May 11, which is the
record for the latest time that the
river has been closed.

WET AND DRY
FIGHT AT VALDEZ
Valdez is now in the throes of a
‘wet” and “dry” fight. Commission
;r Love has appointed C. C. Rudolph
ind Ray Larson to take the census
jf the people regarding the granting
it liquor licenses. The city council
ins passed a resolution favoring a
tontinuance of the saloons, and the
’ommerclal Club is a strong advo
ate of voting “yea” on the question,
living good reasons why Valdez should
not go dry at this time.

ELECTRIC PLANT
FOR SHIP CREEK
A company composed of Eastern
capitalists has been formed for the
purpose of establishing an electric
power and light plant for Ship Creek,
and one of the capitalists interested
went through to that place on the Ev
ans. Jack McEachern, formerly su
perintendent of the electric company
at Cordova, is the moving spirit in
the enterprise. He has been at Sew
ard all winter but earlier in the sea
son he staked the water right on
Ship Creek and has had a man work
ing on it all winter at his own ex
pense. The company is known as
the Ship Creek Electric Company.

Tom Davis, a business man of Cor

says that he and all the people of his
clyt are perfectly confident that the
Copper River railroad will be built to
the Bering River coal fields. “They
can’t get away from it” says Mr.
Davis. R seems to be the opinion
over there that the test of the coal
in these fields was, to say the least of ^
it, Indeterminate.—Seward Gateway. <
