With the arrival of the freighter
Elihu Thomson, Captain C. W. Ames,
master, an amusing incident of tho
early history of Skagway is brought
to mind. ;| r
Capt. Amoa is on© of the pioneer
navigators of the Alaska coast,
having acted as pilot on the S. S.
Islander pTior to the wrack of that
vessel, rjid for eleven, years he
has been master of the Elihu Thom
son, plying between Seattle and
Nome exclusively, It was either in
1905 or 1806 that the "Thomson"
with the barge "Dashing Wave" in
tow, arrived in this i>ort, both ves
sels loaded with a cargo of live
beeves.
Before the Dishing "Wave could
discharge her cargo, a huge steer
broke loose and jumping over- <
aoard, swam ashore. After taking
i good t-reath of the fresh air, the
uiiinal struck out for town, and
he chase was on. Longshoremen,
seamen, sailors and officers all j
loiued in the chase. The steer hit j
or the athletic park, and here a (
uarathon was run around the base.
>all bases. Tiring of this sport, the j
luimal, by this time turned into an
nfuriated wild beast, made for the
•Ivor bank, and while the passage j
brough town was being made, some
>f the residents took to the roof
ops for protection from its threaten
ng hotns. Women were scared in
o fits, children went screaming in
o stores where they took refuge be
lind counters, and the entire town
vas in an uproad. Two com-punch
>rs, who happened to be In town at
he time tried" to Tope the beast,
jut they had wvidently lout their
running, for 'he steer got away and
falloped to the river bank.
1' was then that some wise man
hought of shooting the beast, and
ifter several failures, tho animal
vaa finally brought down by Will!
]ase and Veiled by Herb Taylor.
Frye Bruhn took a gambler's'
•hance and bought tho steer while
it large, thus taking the con-1
ract of ridding the community of.
he wild critter.

ALASKA'S WEALTH AS EXHIBITED
AT PAHA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION
mmtrnrnrnrnmi ■ m n\_a
(Seattle Times)
Seattle, Oct. 2G—The thousands
of Alaskans who have attended the
Panama- Pacific International Expo
sition have returned home delighted
with what they have seen of other
countries, but enthusiastic about
the part Alaska hag taken In send
ing its quota of education to this
great world university.
At tlio beginning of tho exposi
tion period it had been planned to
have an Alaskan. Building, but as
this was not feasible it was aban
doned. However, the United States
government and the Pacific Coast
Steamship company both decided
that Alaska played too important a
part in the commercial and financial
world on account o.f its infinite re
sources to be left unsung and so
there are two splendid and exhaus
tive exhibits at 'he exposition per
taning to this v'fally Important re
gion. One, the government's display,
is in the United States department
of interior's section In the Palace
ol Mines; the other, sociological
display of the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company, occupies a booth at
the entrance to the Palace aft Trans
portation.
The former exhibit does not con
fine itself entirely lo the mining in
dustry; it also takes up the sub
jects cf expei-iinoiital agriculture,
and the timber industry. Also the1
natural beauties of this great and
wonderful Northwest are not for-;
gotten. Naturally, however, the'
most important topic for consider^ |
tlon is mining, for it is the under- '
ground of Alaska that caused her I
to become something of a world- i
power and one of Uncle Sam's most'
prized treasure boxes. Tho most
striking exhibit and one which car-1
ries more weight with It than oth
ers in tho section, stands in one ■
corner. It is an enormous gilded 1
cube bearing the legend that ?244,
000,000 was Alaska's golct produc- 1
tion between the years of 1880 and
1914.
In glas3 cases, prepared under
the direction and with the co-opera
ticii of tl.<e chambers of commerce
of the different important towns of
Alaska, are specimen ores and nug
gets from the mining districts.
There are copper ores from Kaasan,
Ketchikan, Prince of Wales Island,
Woewodsky Island, Cordova, Cop
per River Valley, Sitka, Fairbanks
and Nome regions. There are gold
nuggets and gold-bearing ores from
all of the regions that hay© played
such an Important part la mining
circles in the last twenty-five years.
There are specimens of bituminous
coal from the Matanuska fields, of
seml"anthra.cite from the Bering
River fields and lignite from the
Cook Inlet fields.
Marble from Orr's Island, oil
from Kutulia and antimony, gyp
sum and graphite from other sec
tions, all contribute towards a tale
of alomst unbelievable wealth hid
den away under the fax-away peaks
and ridges. These resources also
unfold a tale of a potent future, for
the world's need cannot fail to de
velop all of this vast region of un
told wealth.
A most interesting lot of Infor
mation is contained in three cases
of agricultural products which have
been proved capable of splendid
growth in Alaskan soil. Uncle Sam
has established three agricultural
experiment stations in Alaska, one
at Fairbanks, one at Kodiak and a
third at Ranjpart. From these sta
tions have come specimens of red
clover, rhubard, rye, oats, wheat,
barley, bluetop, redtop, potatoes,
cabbage, beans, peas, tomatoes,
bushberrles, red currants, rasp
berris, blueberries, cranberries,
stra *• berries, cherries, apples goose
berries and salmon berries, which
show without question that the
plains and mountain meadows of
Alaska are rich with a future for
the Dioneer farmer looking for new
soil to conquer.
The forests of Alaska, at pres
ent in the forest reserve, also prom
ise to furnish an enormous amount
of wealth when they are turned
open for consumption. One speci
men of Sitka spruce, Picea Sitken
sis, brought from the Tongass Na
tional forest in Ketchikan, measures
seven feet in diameter. A notice
tacked to the trunk says that the
tree was 180 feet high and is just
a conservative example of what the
other trees in this region are.
The exhibit includes two fine
plaster models. One is a map of
Alaska, showing the telegraph lines,
railroad lines, wireleefls stations,
steamship lines and also Alaska's
position on the globe and with r«
