his appearance in the district
court. Testimony against Barney

Farmer Jack Price
Visits Tsnana
Jack J. Price, manager of the
Hot Springs farm for Frank Man
ley, was a visitor in town last
Friday on several important busi
ness errands which kept him on
the move. He says the big farm j
at ,this s.eason of the year is a]
thing of beauty, and his crops j
will be abundant.
Mr. Price, who is also the road !
overseer for Hot Springs district,
met and discussed road work with
Capt. Pope, of the Alaska road
commission, who arrived in town
the same morning from St. Mich
ael. ‘ _
Revenue Producer
Sets the Limit
It was Friday.
It was also the 13th. •
And Patrick came to judgment,
ooo
There was plenty of testimony i
presented in the commissioner’s
court on that day to prove to the
satisfaction of the court that Mr.
Paddy Carney had made himself
such a boisterous and foul- |
mouthed nuisance on Wednesday, I
August 11, that a severe jail sen- j
teace was his duo, and he got all
the “statutes made and provided”
in cases of this character. Paddy
was “given” $50 and costs.
In his own defense Mr. Carney
said he had no remembrance of
turning on at full voltage the ter
rific and withering filth-battery
he carries in his “block.” In ex
tenuation of his offense, Paddy
made it clear to the commissioner
that he was “a pioducer,” and it
“was the likes” of him that fur
nished the revenue to keep the
government in good working con
dition. The judge agreed with
Patrick that the “revenues”
would undoubtedly suffer and
greatly diminish while the pris
oner was “on the water wagon,”
but would take one chance on it,
and Paddy was escorted back to
jail, where he is now putting in
his time kicking on the daily
menu of the Maison Vautier.
John Leason, who was caught
in the dragnet with “Producer”
Carney, was sentenced to five
days’ imprisonment, with costs
In the blackguarding line Leason
appeared like a novice when
placed alongside an “old master”
like Mr. Carney.
Steamboats Travel
Hot Springs Slough
The high water in the Tanana
river during the past two weeks
has proved a money saver for
the Hob Springs branch of the
N. C. Co. The company’s boats
have fbund no difficulty in navi
gating the slough, and are able
to unload their cargoes at the
warehouse doors.
Heretofore the goods were un
loaded at the mouth of the slough
and towed to the Springs on
barges. _
Baby Is Born
to Helsn Emery
Seattle, July 21.—A daughter
was born today to Mrs. Gunjiro
Aolfi, formerly Miss Helen
Emery, daughter of Archdeacon
John Emery, of California, at the
Aoki home in Kellydale, a little
village on Lake Washington, near
Seattle. The couple were mar
ried in this city last March, after
failure of efforts to marry in Cal
ifornia. They settled first at
Dunlap, Wash., where the Jap
anese husband tried gardening
unsuccessfully. After that the
couple went to Kellydale, where
they have lived as people of
means, the husband doing no
work.
Gompers Amazed the French1
Paris, July 29.—Samuel Gompers’ Style of living lias amazed local
labor leaders. Gompers, bis wife and daughter, while here occu
pied au expensive suite in a fine hotel. The president of the American
Federation of Labor also attracted much attention by interviews given
Paris newspapers on strikes, capital and labor.
Gompers’ attire and manners also proxmked comment. His inter
viewers described him as “well groomed, with the quiet, dignified man
ners of a clergyman.” They were the more surprised because labor ag
itators here are notoriously noisy and careless about their personal
appearance. Even the fact that Mrs. Gompers and her daughter dress
iu fashion causes surprise.
Gompers calmly pointed out that while the Confederation Generale
du Travail (General Confederation of Labor) here has only about 300,
000 members, with perhaps $75,000 in its treasury, the American Fed
eration of Labor has 2,000,000 members.
"It counts its deposits iu banks by millions of dollars; it controls
337 newspapers,” Gompers is quoted as saying. He would not answer
a question as to the influence his organization wields in American pres
idential elections.
Will Allow Only
One Balloon Trip
New York, July 31.—Millions
of policy holders, representing
billions of life and accident insur
ance, are interested in instruc
tions just issued by the Travelers
Insurance Company of Hartford,
Conn., to its agents in relation to
the payment of claims for injury
and death growing out of bal
loon, aeroplane and flying-ma
chine accidents.
This is the first recognition by
any of the big insurance com
panies that travel by air is com
idg rapidly to the front and must
be provided for by life and acci
dent insurance. This lead will
we followed, it is thought, by all
such companies in this and other
countries, now that aviation has
become a favorite sport, particu
larly among men who carry big
insurance policies.
According to the Travelers’
letter of instruction to agents,
only one voyage in a balloon is
permitted the insured, unless
they wave claims. More than
one trip otherwise cancels the
policy.

ALL ALASKAN ROUTES
LEAD TO TANANA TOWN
Prospectors and miners from tlie camps along the Tanatia and
Yukon rivers are fast realizing that this city is the most advantageous
point to outfit for their journey to the Innoko, Iditerod and Kuskok
vvim districts. Heretofore many boats floated down the two streams
already loaded for th'e lower camps. Now they come to this city
“light,” and when they leave here the boats are loaded with supplies
from local houses.
During the first days of this week there was not an N. C- Co. boat
in sight, but nevertheless there was plenty of activity along the com
pany’s waterfront. Several big outfits were loaded in long poling
boats made to carry many hundredweight. Among those bound for
Innoko who outfitted here this week were Golden and Larsen, who are,
judging from the loaded craft, prepared to stay with that country to a
fond fare-ye well. A. Gillis, a well-known prospector hereabouts, also
loaded a big outfit last Monday, and started Innokowar'd.
Tanana is not only The Hub of Alaska, but is also its Storehouse.
Half Moon Arrivos in New York
<:De Halve Maen.” which in
lour vernacular is “The Half
Moon,” is the name of the ship
built in the likeness of Hendrik
Hudson’s famous ship which ar
rived at New York on the Soest
tyk. She has coine with the
compliments of the Dutch gov
ernment to help celebrate the
anniversary of Fulton’s inven
tion of the steamboat. She is a
boat with a four-story poopdeck.
She is of 80 tons displacement,
62 feet long, 18 feet boom, and
draws 7 1-2 feet of water. She
is rigged with a full complement
of hand-woven sails. Amidships
she has a wooden pump. Two
cannon are mounted on her deck.
She is fitted up within just like the
original Half Moon with a sand
glass in the cabin to mark the
hours, and all the other details
of equipment with which the Half
Moon sailed the seas. It is 300
years since the first Half Moon
sailed up the Hudson river with
Henry Hudson at her bow. Com
paring this first ship which sailed
the Hudson with the wonderful
marine constructions of today,
one may well wonder what sort
of a craft will sail into New York
harbor in 2200, or will the people
300 years hence come to the old
new world by air instead of water.
General Bell May
Go to Philippines
Washington, July 30.—Gossip
as to the next chief of staff of the
army now centers around the
name of Brig.-Gen. W. II. Carter,
who is slated to be the next
major general on the retirement
in November of Maj.-Gen. John
P. Weston. Gen. Carter is a na
tive of the state of Tennessee,
which is the home of the secre
tary of war, and on that account
his star is, by many, believed to
be in the ascendant. There is
naturally interest in the assign
ment that will fall to Maj.-Gen.

J. Franklin Bell when, in April,
his detail expires. It is under
stood that his choice is the com
mand of the Philippine division,
and that, with the retirement in.
January, 1911, of Maj.-Gen. Wm.
P. Duvall, now having that com
mand, Gen. Bell will succeed him.
The interval Gen. Bell may
spend in directing the develop
ment of the large brigade post
that is to be constructed at Fort
Riley, a favorite project of his,
and one to which he would nat
urally give most enthusia ,tic toil,
as he did a few years ago to the
development of the army school
