SECRETARIES PUT
REFORMS AT WORK
TO ASSIST NORTH
Certain conclusions were reached
by Secretaries Daniels and Payne,
as a result of their recent visit to
Alaska, and before departing from
Anchorage on the return to Wash
ington they let it be known that
the visit had impressed them deeply
and gave an outline of plans for the
development of the Matanuska coal
fields and for the encouragement of
homesteading in areas tiaversed by
or tributary to the Government
railroad, and in other sections of
Alaska where agricultural land is
available for entry.
The conclusions reached by the
cabinet officers were set forth as
follows:
Navy Department.
That progress at the Eska and
Chickaloon mines was satisfactory
and the coal of a quality suitable
to the navy, save one seam opened
at Eska having a parting of decom
posed shale on the hanging wall
that would require washing; that a
washing plant to cost $175,000 be
erected:
That there was an abundance of
coal of fine quality at Chickaloon,
the upper seams of which were af
fected by slips that did not lose
the seams, but necessitated further
exploration work from the 600-foot
level of the main slope to the sur
face;
That Anchorage should be made
a coaling station for the navy to
be used seven months in the year,
while Seward would be a reserve
storage station to be used three
months in the year for emergency
supply of coal; that the project of
a road to Portage bay entailed ex
penditures not warranting its consid
erarion.
Interior Department.
Secretary Payne ordered a reduc
tion in freight rates on railroad for
settlers’ effects and mining supplies
and machinery to the carload rate
plus 25 percent;
Accepted proffered suggestions and
promised support of a measure in
the next session of Congress calling
for waiving residence requirements
on homesteads held by residents of
the district and calling for a mini
mum of $250 per year improve
ments instead.
Some measure whereby blooded
livestock could be supplied through
the experiment station to settlers
on time payment;
That some plan calling for the
introduction of tractors or some
other method be worked out where
by men employed at other occupa
tions could secure the pulling of
trees and stumps and breaking and
seeding of land at a minimum of
cost;
That the Government was work
ing to consolidate two steamship
lines and during the peak of the
travel season supply ships to aug
ment fleet, thu3 reducing cost of
travel to and from Alaska.

Edward Olson, aged about 22
years, confessed recently at Anchor*
age to the murder of Benjamin Ag
new at the latter's ranch in the
I
Matanuska district, according to a
copy of the Anchorage Times just
received.
Olson’s confession came after the
marsnplV deputies had laid before
him evidence showing all his move
ments since he escaped from the
Anchorage jaii June 29.
The arrest of Olson was made by j
Deputy Hoffman at Matanusk.i on a
charge of having escaped from the
Anchorage jail.
Since that time, with a raincoat,
.owned by Agnew, and whirh Olson
was seen wearing, following the
murder, the marshal's office has been
piecing together the evidence that
promised Olson's undoing had he
not confessed. Confronted with
this evidence, Olson made the fol-!
lowing statement to Deputy Marshal ;
Mossman:
Olson's Confession.
I
That on Thursday night he went
to the ranch of Harry Weickert,
near the Agnew ranch, and there i
being no one at home, remained
there all night. Friday morning he
went to the Agnew ranch and went
into the ranch house and found a j
demijohn of “white mule” whisky in '
a corner of the room, covered with ,
a coat or sweater. He drank heavi-|.
ly of this and later took Agnew’s I
gun from the rack and went into
i
the chicken yard and commenced ]
shooting at the chickens. He killed
at least one with the rifle and he
remembered catching at least two j
and cutting their heads off with a '
butcher knife; that while he was
shooting at the chickens, Ben Agnew ,
approached and called to him to l
cease shooting chickens and made at'
him with what he believes to have j
been a hoe. A struggle ensued andl(
he used the rifle butt and laid open j
Agnew’s forehead; that he then, get- ,
ing the worst of the fight, turned j
and ran away. Agnew pursuing.
Thereupon he turned and shot Ag
new with the rifle, following which .
he loaded the body into a wheel- j
barrow and started to wheel it to ‘
Matanuska, but finding the going!
muddy and soft, was unable to con- ^
tinue, so returned and hit the body ,
where it was found by a searching j]
party on July 7.
I* Repentant.
Olson is very repentant and says ,
he never would have thought of kill- j,
ing Agnew if he had not been drink-j;
ing and in an intoxicated condition. !
Olson was arrested within an hour!]
j
after he had committed the crime,
but at the time there was no suspi
cion against him. Deputy Marshal
Hoffman had taken him in on report |
that while serving time in the An-;
chorage jail for larceny of guns,
etc., he had escaped on June 2D, i
after having been made a trusty and
allowed to work in the garden.
