ROAD COMMISSION
WAY LOCATE HERE
There is every possibility that be
fore the first of April Valdez will be
the lieaclquarters for the Alaska road
commission. For some time rumors
have broil rife of the intention to
change the headquarters from Skag
way to this town, and even yet the
affair is not settled, at least so far as
the public is concerned.
In its issue of December lGthePost
hitelligeneer makes the statement
that the headquarters will be moved
by March 1. The manner in which
thcstatcmcnt appears is in connection
with a news story concerning the
sailing of tne steamship Jeanie, which
departed last night for Valdez, in
place of the Hcrtha of the Alaska
('oast Company's fleet.
The Prospector yesterday cabled
its correspondent in Skagway for a
verification of the reported removal
of the road commission headquarters.
The reply states:
"Removal of road commission head
quarters only suggested. No action,
it any, will l>e taken until spring.
Secretary of war is the person who
will order change if it is made."
Following is the article appearing
in the Post-Intelligencer:
"Steamer Jennie is due in from
Southeastern Alaskan ports tonight,
afi.cr having made one voyage for the
injured Northland, which is complet
ing repairs in port. The Jeanie will
:il once begin loading cargo for Val
dez and Seward, as she is to sail for
ports on tin- Southwestern run on
December "21, in place of the steamer
Bertha, which is expected back on
Friday.
"Among other cargo the Jeanie will
carry 100 tons of general supplies for
the Alaska road commission. This
freight is for Valdez and must be de
livered before the end of the year,
this being the reason why the Jeanie
will be dispatched four days ahead of
the bertha's regular date. The cargo
will include twelve head of horses.
IJeut. S. ('. Orchard, who purchased
the supplies iu Seattle and arranged
for Mteir transportation, left yester
day for Skagway, present headquar
ters. In March the commission will
move its headquarters to Valdez.
The Jeanie is due at that port Decem
ber :>0, going via the inside passage.
"While the Jeanie is on the run,
the Bertha will be laid up for her
usual annual overhauling."
PUGS HURL DEFIES
AT JACK JOHNSON
Sydney, Dee. .'M—Jack Johnson,
holder of the world's heavyweight
pugilisf championship, is being del
uged with challenges. The latest, to
endeavor to get him into the rintf
with them are Bob Fit/Jminons and
Jack (twill) Sullivan. So far John
son has made no arrangements . for
the future.
Johnson expressed himself as sorry
that JeffericH has declined to meet
him iu the ring, but whether or not
the black man is sincere in this ex
pression a question. Fight fans In
this country, basing their judgment
on .Johnson's performance with Burns,
are inclined to doubt as to Johnson's
having much chalice against Jeff pro
viding the big fellow enters the ring

HOFFMAN AND MURRAY
NURSE BIG GROUCH
Town Marshal I [oilman and Town
Magistrate Murray are nursing a large
grouch today; they also nursed it yes
terday, for they made a very had
guess and Magistrate Murray at least
is out the price of several dinners
while the town treasury is also de
pleted hy some certain money it might
have had had it not been for a bad
guess.
However, all persons do not view
the same thing in the same light, and
instead of nursing a grouch Commis
sioner Bocks is wearing an expansive
smile. It all happened thusly:
Having in their charge two sailors
off the* Yucatan, said sailors being
charged with disturbing the peace
and somnolence of Christina^ night,
Marshal Hoffman and Magistrate
Murray placed their craninms in jux
taposition and doped out that the
marine twain were "dead plies."
"The town w ill only he up against
the expense of feeding these hoes'1 is
the manner in which the Murray—
Hoffman intellect sized up the affair,
and it was determined to turn the
prisoners over to the 1'nited States
commissioner; then the federal gov
ernment would have to feed them.
lint—"Fifty and costs" sadly re
marked Commissioner Hecks, when
the hearing had ended.
"Here's your coin" said the rough
houso mariners, and the money
jingled upon the commissioner's desk.
That's the reason why Town Mar
shal Hoffman and Town Magistrate
Murray are nursing a grouch these
days.
