The White Pass forces left here
this morning with the big rotary
and three engines for King Boreas'
stronghold up the line, and arriv
ing at the first resistence there
made a hard dash at the fortifica
tions which the King <*ad thrown up)
duriug the night.
While It was believed, that the
line could be pierced, the King had
brought to his aid allies in the
way of wind and cold and had so
effectually entrenched' himself so
that the attacking forces w^rra re
pulsed.
Those who accompanied the at
tacking troopB in the passenger
coaches were brought back to
tpwn this afternoon. The loss to
the offensive party was merely nonx
'nal fceing mostly in the way of
good coal consumed and loss of tem
p«r and patience.
That tlio personally; conducted
tour ol the Alaska Bureau o£ the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce this

Skagwav Commercial Club asking
co-oieration in securing the ser

the party. The telegTam Bets forth

"We suggest that you wire Mr.

a naval vessel to accompany the

III IS BRAZIL
North Yakima, Wash, Jan. 31 —
Goim: to South America in search
o* a particular tract of 500,000
acres of land may appear like a
long Journey to perform an easy
ta*k but if George F. MoAuley, who
will leave here in about two wee'ks
for Brazil, locates this tract he
will be more successful than was
an emissary of the same investors
who visited Brazil last year. Sev
eral years ago nine North Yakima
men, a* the suggestion of a form
er Yakima resident then living in
Brazil, purchased a tract of land
of the size named from the Brazil
ian government and the mapa and
papers seemed entirely regular.
Scmehtw the land has disappeared
an'i tie investors, who had plan
ned to colonize the tract, decided
tc send one qf their own numbers to
locate it. Among the inyestoiB are
a county commissioner, a physician,
two attorneys and several business
CALIFOliS
DINE ON WHALE
Los Angeles, Jan. 31—Every time •
Capt. John D. Loop, of the good !
ship Camiguin, kills a whale down, J
goes the high cost of living.
Six tong of whale tenderloin, a j
dellcafcy -which has leaped into popu- '<
larUv here in the past few weeks, \
was carved from the carcass of one •
giant leviathan and palced on the
markets of Long Beach and Los An
geles a* a nominal price.
So cheap and bo popular have
become whale steaks her« that the
high cost of meat has been dealt a J
severe blow by the advent of the se
cow food.
Although the public was some
what backward about eating whale
at first, the local markets sell close
to a ton a day of the meat at pres
°nf, while Los Angeles dealers are
calling for more with each killing.
In addition to the six tons of
tenderloin each whale yields about
ten tons of blubber that will be
reduce"3 to a lubricating oil of high
grade.
Capt. Loop, sighted one big one
early the other morning off Hart's
point and pursued the leviathan for
nearly half a day before he could
maneuver to within striking dis
tance. It was three hours af
ter the first bomb exploded in the
side of the leviathan before the
aea monster gave up. The fight |
and chase took place in the chan
nel fifteen miles southeast of Loaig J
Beach
The whale, a California gray, was
lazily riding the swells When, first
seen by the crew of the whaler CarcH
Igulu. On the approach of the
launch, however, it started off down
the coast with a speed calculated
to Indicate that it had a certain
destination in view.
The leviathan slowed up a little,
however, off Huntington Beach, aal
Camiguin, trailing close be
hind, let go with her forward gun.
ThiB again spurred the whale into
activity. The bomb had found its
mark, however, and it was not long
befoic Capt. Loop had all hands
Dumping bombs and harpoons into
the monster from all points of his
Well-equipped hunting craft.
