KETCHIKAN, July 8.—{That the
steamship Curacao, of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Co., which was
wrecked near Whrm Chuck, on the
west co&st of Prince of Wales Island
recently, may be raised, is the opin
ion of shipping men. The vessel is
reported as resting on an even keel
near shore, with about 15 feet of
water covering her decks at low tide.
Eleven large steel can buoys have
just been received by the lighthouse
inspector to be used to marke some
of the most dangerous of the num
erous uncharted rocks which abound
in this vicinity.
It is largely owing to the untiring
efforts of Ray L. Hankinson, In
spector in charge of the 16th dis
trict, say shipping men, that a
neglectful government Is induced to
give even the few aids to navigation
with which the dangerous waters of
Alaska are marked. Ever since his
appointment to the office in the
North, Hankinson has lost no oppor
tunity to impress on the government
the necessity of numerous buoys and
lighthouses to guide the navigator
through the hazardous places along
the entire Alaskan coast.
Since the wreck of the steamships
Yukon and Curacao, both of which,
it Is asserted by gteamhip men, might
yet be afloat had the coast of
Alaska been properly surveyed and
buoyed, it is expected that the fed
eral government will awaken to the
needs of the territory. Although the
Yukon was steaming over a course
but little used, yet the route is trav
eled enough to merit the protection
of ships by buoys and lighthouses.
The west coast of Prince of Wales
Island, is for the most part not even
surveyed by the government. Most
of the charts In use by the govern
ment have been prepared by the
captains of the numerous vessels
which ply those waters.

terest its readers, the Seward Gate
way sent Delegate Wackersham a
cablegram asking what the chances
were for the passage of the Alaska
railway bill at this session, and last
week received the following reply:
‘‘Chances are even for the passage

WASHINGTON, July 3.—What
promises to be one of the most elab
orate and beautiful pageants ever
seen in this city will be the children's
portrayal of historic and allegoric
scenes on the Fourth of July. For
several years the city has observed
a safe and sane Fourth, but it has
been deadly slow for the small folks.
Now with some thousands of young
sters preparing for a gigantic fete,
to say nothing of fond mammas, the
birthday of the nation will surely
have something done. The children
will be seen in folk dances, tableaus,
parades and the like. Everybody
will have a part, a part with plenty
of singing, walking, running and
cheering, in almost any costume
that the young actor’s fancy suggests.
