* DANCE GIVEN IN HOXOR OP
' GOVERNOR AXD MRS. RIGGS
• Cordova,—Last evening Governor
and Mrs. Thomas Rlggs, Jr., were
the quests of honor at a dance given
given I v the Home Guards in Eagles
hall, which was largely attended
oy town folk, who BDent several
hours very pleasantly. The best
of music was provided, and the af
fair was most enjoyable.
| Upon invitation of Mayor Hillery
the governor consented to make a
short talk to the euests assembled,
and in a happy vein he pictured the
greatness of Cordova and its bright
| future insisting th^t all those who
now l»ft the territory would later
be glad to come back and share in
the prosperity that was Burely In
store for Al»ska. He said that be
liked the hospitable and optimistic
spirit of Cordovans, and hoped to
make two more vig'ts here this fall.
Governor Riggs became very en
thusiastic In speaking of the Home
Guards, which he thought was a
fine organization and should l>e
maintained in the territory in tine
of peace as well »s war. That Its
members could oe depended upon
to safeguard the interests of the
ocal people he was quite assured,
and he hoped to tee a flourishing
guard in every community, fostered
under a new- legislative act which
he expected to see passed at the
next session of the legislature.
The governor and Mrs. Riggs ex
press ed themselves as being high
ly pleased with the cordial treat
' ment they reeived- in Cordova, be
fore they left on this morning's
train for Chltina, ol, their trip
over the trail to Faitbanks.
i From the latter place they will go
t; to Tanana, theace down the Yu
| kon river to Nome, and return to
| Soutnwestern Alaska on the steam
ship Victoria about the middle of
I September.

Mr. Whalen sta'e that the vein |

and ia also installing an aJf com

about three weeks.
The Free Go!d Mining company,
formerly the Homst&ke mine, is a
local concern, the organizers being
J. E. Whalen, Anton Dahlstrom and
Harry Sullivan.
Messrs. Lawson and Sullivan re
turned to the mine yesterday morn
ing and with a crow of seven men
will be busy the next few weeks
grading a site for the larger mill
and installing new machinery.
1 This «s one of the most encourag
ing strikes In this vicinity in late
years and was broueht about by the
confidence and determination of the,
promoters to keep on until the j
vein was picked up.
While sinking a shaft which had j
not oeen fully timbered on Cleary '
creek recently John Durand was!
pinned against one ot the walls by |
the earth sl^ughin;? In such a man- j
ner that one of his hips was dislo
cated and he received other In- I
juries. The slide was of such
depth that he was buried up to his I
chin ind but for prompt action by j
I nis comrades would have died: He <
' was taken to the hospital at Fair- j
banks.

Divisional Road Commissioner J.
E. Wilson will commence \«>rk at
Cordova soon on a road entailing an
expenditure of approximately $10,
000 lo extend from a point south
of E. Street to Old Town and the
cemetery at E.vak lake. The ro.d
will !-e thirty feet wide and' will be
about three-fourth of a mile long.
Some work was done last fall in
clear'ng the right of way for this
project.
James E. Wilson, road commis
sioner, called for ''ids at his office
in th's city last week for the grad
ing and building o* the necessary
culverts.
Mr. Wilson reports that the
bridge of the Nizina river, 3320
feet lone and the one over the Kus
kalina river 315 feet long have just
been completed.
Piling and lumber is being pre
pared for the building of a bridge
1500 feet long at Katalla. It will
extend aeross the Katalla river and
sloughs and will provide a route
from the town to the St. Elias oil
fields. The contractors are now
ready to commence work on this
project.
A road from McCarthy over Sour
Dough hill to the Nizlna is now
under construction.
In the Anchorage district several
crews are at work, and contracts
for road work ditching anci grading
will "e let this \vee<{ on the Seward
branch road.
EVERYBODY HAS IT IX
FOR THE "DOLLY VARDEN"
ir me uony vurueii
destroyed, and the predatory birds,
such as terns, saw-bill, and gulls,
reduced sufficiently in numDers, the
amount of salmon that would be
available for food purposes would
be double what it is at present, is
the ODlnion of Jack Harrington,
now captain of the cannery tender
"Elsinore," operated by the Vend
syssel Packing company of Tyee.
"It means," he said, "that Instead
of being able to take 50 million
dollars worth of salmon yearly,
100 million dolars worth might be
taken if protection were given the
salmon against these predatory crea
tures."
Captain Harrington has been
fishing off and on for many years
in Southeastern Alaska and has
t>een a close observer at all times.
As an effective method of attacking
the Dolly Varden trout, he advo
cates the use of dynamite. "I have
seen many of these trout cut open
in the spring when the salmon fry
were ooming out of the fresh water
streams, he said and they invariably
contained hundreds of little sal
mon fry about one inch long. One
fish had over 1,800 of salmon fry
actual count. The trout lie in
pools at the mouths of the streams
awaiting the arrival of the fry. It
is just before the young salmon
begin to comg down that the dyna
miting should be done.
John N. Cobb, assistant general
manager for the Alaska Packers'
association, denounced the Dolly
Varden trout without reservation.
Fishermen usually disagree oa,
methods for the protection of the
fish, but there is this one point on
which they all seem to agree, that
the Dolly Varden trout is the worst
enemy the young salmon has to
contend with. Not only flo the
trout attack the fry shortly after
hatching, but they devour salmon
eggs in, even greater numbers than
they do the fry.
As a solution to the predatory
bird problem, Captain Harrington
believes in destroying the eggs and
young wholesale at the rookeries.
A vigorous campaign carried on, for
two or three year?, would, In his
opinion, so reduce their numbers
that the harm done by the few left
would be negligibly—Dispatch.
10 CROW FOR
IRE REO GROSS
j The tale is on the Red Cross
rooster, and the rooster la in. the
coop, and the coop Is In th.Q bonded
room, snd the bonded room Is in the
warehouse, and the government
'warehouse is in -.'kagway, and the
rooster came from Ruby, and on by
slow stages up the river, stopping
enroute where he was well and
royally fed, and incidentally raffled
at each place for the benefit of the
repsective local Red Cross chapters,
and finally got here.
J Now that i« the tale, but that is
not the end, for a real tale would
finish by saying,
I "That he lived in peace and died
' in Greece,
And was burled behind the man
| tie piece."
But the good old cock still lives,
and <* is to be hoped that as long
a3 he does his bit towards swelling
the weath in the coffers of the
Red Cross, he will continue to live
and tflory in the good "w°rk he 18
doing.
I Well Mr. Ruby Cock is a visitor
in Skagway ,and while here he Will
put himself up for raffle to the
lucky one and »11 the money re
' ceived for tickets will go to the
Skagwv Branch of the Red. Cross,
i He will crow every morning at
dawn, and again at eventide, and
! in the meantime he will exhibit
himself to adlmiring friends at Kel
ler Bros, store. The raffle will
take Place Friday ro that Mr. Chan
ticleer can be sent to Haines Sat
urday on the Peterosn.
In speaking of the raffle which
took place in Dawton, the News
jo' that city says:
[ Tom Boond the genial and popu
l»r sourdough won the Liberty
'rooster in the Dawson drawing last
night. "Hop Lee"- Corcoran con
ducted the drawing between acts
at the D-Three-A's.
Today Tom was decorated with
the Order of the Red Chanticleer,
and the two golden eggs which the
o,r bird laid in Daweon were bes
towed upon the winner. Tom and
the bird will have their pictures
taken today.
With characteristic generosity,
Tom has handed back the rooster
to be raffled at the town> and
tonight the noble king of birds
will continue his tour. His next
stopping place will b* Bkagway.
The Dawson raffle of the Ruby
rooster netted 1300.30. A total of
1,201 tickets were sold here, at 26
cents each for 1,200 and 30 cents
for the one.
"How could there be a thirty-cent
cleanup in a town where there is
nothing smaller than a quarter?"
asks everyone.
It was thte way: One man wrote
a check on the bank for 30 cents.
That's all.
"Ob, yes, but what made the
Tooster lay the golden egg?"
"Hop Le«? sayp:
"Me eavee! Looster, him eatem
Iota Klondike gold dufit; then he
hitem big storm on trip on, way up
river and just have to 'lay-to.
In order to expedite the Rale
of the ticket*, $. bery. ol Bkagway
"flappers" will *>e turned loose
tomorrow ahd they will scratch
all around tovn itt order to
that no one la overlooked.
