* ALL SPACE FOR
ALASKA HAS
BEEN TAKEN
SEATTLE, June 29 (Special to the
Times).—The largest locomotive plow
ever shipped to Alaska is on Seattle’s
docks awaiting the arrival of a ship
chartered by the Alaskan railroad com
mission to carry supplies for the gov
ernment railroad to Alaska. The snow
ploy weighs 80,000 lbs.
> Because of the extraordinary de
mands for space to Alaskan points
from Seattle, the joint committee
representing the various war veterans
associations, have been unable to se
* cure any sort of vessel for their pro
posed excursion to Victoria. July 4.
All of the steamships of the Pacific
Steamship Company, the Alaska
Steamship Company, the Canadian
Pacific Steamship Company and the
Grand Trunk Pacific Steamship Com
pany are practically booked to capa
city for every voyage until well into
August. Never before in the history
of traffic* to Alaska has been the re
mand for accomodations so heavy as
this year, say the traffic chiefs of
the steamship lines. Not even in
1916, which was the banner year
hitherto in Northern travel, was the
advance booking so heavy as this
year
Washington special says: Concen
tration and co-ordination of federal
control in Alaska is the outstanding
feature of a comprehensive report
filed with Secretary of the Interior.
* John Barton Payne, by the inter-de
partmental committee representing
the Interior, Agriculture and post
office departments and the United
States Shipping board.
It is recommended that legislation
creating an interdepartmental hoard
be enacted and that the board be
given authority to administer the fed
eral laws relating to public lands,
leases, water powers, fisheries, tim
ber. railroad construction and opera
tion. and wagon road construction.
^ In the way of legislation outside
w the bill creating the interdepartment
al board, the committee recommends
an increase in the appropriation for
the infestigation of mineral resourc
es; modifications of the coal land
leasing law, and a more liberal law
to encourage the exploitation of pos
sible oil resources in the Arctic re
gions.
The committee also asks for an in
tensive campaign for the development
!i» of Alaskan pulp wood by laying be
fore the paper manufacturers and con
sumers the possibility of the immed
iate development of the industry.
The indications are that the present
season will see the largest tourist
travel to Alaska ever known. The
Spokane on her trip, Saturday car
ried a capacity load of Shriners.
Thereafter every Admiral line ship
in the southeastern Alaska routes
will pull out from the Grand Trunk
dock with crowds of tourists until
the close of the summer season. Be
tween the middle of this month and
the middle of August, the vessels will
carry more than 1500 pleasure seek
ers in eighteen sailings.
Indian hunters off the coast of
Washington have captured 400 seals
this year as against 350 last year.
They use only spears and bows and
arrows, the use of firearms being pro
hibited.
The Western Rolling Mills Corpora
tion, of Seattle, has purchased a site
of 63 acres in the industrial district
for the location of rolling mills and
other steel manufacturing. The com
pany has opinions on ore deposits in
the northern part of the state which
contains hundreds of millions of tons
cf ore. When the plant here and
furnaces at the mines are completed
the entire plant is to cost $15,900,

SWEDISH RAILWAYS
BEING ELECTRIFIED
STOCKHOLM, June 29 (by Associ

The amount granted for this purpose
was 23,000,000 krone as a first in
stalment and the line which is first
to he electrified la that between

CARGO EXTENT
; DRAW BIG PAY
» - .... .—I
SEATTLE, June 29 (by Associated
’ Press).—Interpreting cargo signs is
* the “last word’’ in strange jobs in
1 Seattle, and the pay is big, so say
1 those who employ the interpreters.
Upon the arrival of each liner from
1 the Orient the interpreters station
themselves where they can best scan
the inscriptions on the boxes and
bales unloaded from the vessel and
1 by careful watching they can tell
within a few tons of how much silk,
copra, bean oil, hemp or other com
modities are unloaded.
Such information is eagerly sought
by big eastern firms who pay liberal
ly for the estimates of shipments re
ceived.
When an interpreter runs into a
big mixed cargo he usually makes a
good haul, receiving pay from various
dealers in bean oil,, rope makers, co
k coanut dealers, etc.
Once a sign reader acquires a rep
utation for accuracy in estimating car
go items his services are eagerly
. sought by many firms interested in
. imports from the Orient.

SEATTLE, June 29 (by Associated
Press).—An American miner standi
no chance of getting rich by working
placer claims in northeastern Siberia
according to Thomas Tonnesen, whc
is in Seattle on his first trip out o!
Alaska in 16 years, for the purpose
of buying supplies. Any show ol
wealth will destroy his chances o
success. If he comes to the place)
fields with a few pans and a pool
mouth, the Siberians will help hin
along and direct him to the riel
grounds. But let him hire a fev
helpers and he becomes a capitalis
in the eyes of the Russian. So long
as he does not acquire too mucl
wealth he is not molested.
At least 500 men have crossed fron
northeast Alaska peninsula to Siber
ia, most of them making the journej
in open rowboats, Mr- Tenneson re
ported. The trip from the Alaska!
to the Asian side takes about 24 hour:
in a row boat, he said.
