Washington, instructing him to
turn over, to the v«vcnue service
as many rations as he could spare
fop immediate delivery. It is pre
sumed that similar orders have
been received at Ft. Seward, from
the \\'nr department and that any
further needed supplies will be
shipped north from the Seattle,
depot.
Yesterday the tug Printer took
over several tons of hay from
Seward to Kodiak, which lends to!
the belief that all the stock on I
Kodiuk and adjoining islands are
J!ot dead.
Under date of June 12th the
Cordova Alaskan contained the
following additional news from
the seat of eruption to the west
ward :
The information today concern
ing the conditions on Kodiak is
land are more encouraging. All
evidences of further eruption
have disappeared and the atmos-!
phere has cleared in the neigh- j
borhood of Mt. Katmai. So more
I danger is apprehended, and the |
inhabitants of the town» and vil-i
lages within the volcano area are
now concerned in estimating their
losses and the probability of re-1
covering some of their posse^-1
: sions.
The wireless station at Whits-j
. her! has been enabled to got in
to eominunication with Ibe rev-'
emie cutler Manning, which is
still standing to at the town of
Kodiak. The information was
Hashed 111 rough the air last night
I hat the hundreds of j»«.• < • | > I«> who
liinl been succored and protected
ion the Manning had returned to
Kodiak. A scene of desolation
j was presented in every direction,
j cattle, stork, sheep and animals
had been generally killed, while
the grazing and agricultural land
presented a dismal scene with
i black sand everywhere blighting
j green paslures.
The residents of Kodiak were
! loth to leave the land where many
of them had struggled for a gen
jeralion. When they reached
i shore I hey plowed their way in
i the directions' where formerly
I were attractive and comfortable
| homes. The sights that met their
I ga/r upon all fiides were, most
I disheartening and they realized
■ that il would be an herculean task
to lake up the labor that meant
years of patient toil ere they
coidd again, if ever, become Ibe
I proud possessors of what was
j formerly a most promising land,
j Some homes were injured and
others demolished, while in some
the sand had penetrated si a-, to
cover the floors for several inch
es and practically ruin all I hat
was contained in the homes.
Such supplies a-- were required
for immediate use were secured
from the Manning, and il is now
believed, that the people who will
be compelled to leave the devas
tated town will bo much less in
number than was formerly ex
pected.
! A wireless has been received
from f^no of tho cannery tenders
at Karhik. win-re is located one
of tin* biggest canneries in Alas
ka. Thev report that there has
been no |os« nf life there and
that the fall of ash and sand
has not been of such a nature as
j to prove very serinns. The belief
J is expressed that they will short
S ly be enabled to resume oper
ations at tin' cannery, and that
! the waters will be sufficiently
J clear as ffo permit of the run of
salmon. A similar advice was al
so received by wireless from
Makmek. Chignik, which is on
the Alaska peninsula and nearly
175 miles sonlh of Kalmai. re
ports by wireless thai while they
received a sprinkling of ashes
and sand, it was not sufficient to
do any particular injury
As the wireless station at Ko_
diak was struck by lightning and
completely destroyed, the operat
ors are now on the cntter Mann
ing and will come on later to
Cordova.

WHY
You Should Vote For
ROBERT1 JENNINGS
For Delegate From Alaska
I He has lived in Alask* for
1 '♦ years—cevon of those years
in Juneau. None have question
ed or can question his ability or
industry, rf you do not believe
Ibis, writfc to Juneau. :•
L* Isi the pursuit of his profes
sion be has been called to nearly
every portion of the Territory,
and be is thoroughly familiar
with (lie needs of Alaska.
3 He has no grievances to air,
no aye 'fo grind, and is free to
:erve Alaska, unswayed by per
mmhI likes op dislikes.
i Ho is not connected, in any
way, with corporations or other
prisons seeking favors from the
government. While he lias ever
been the friend and attorney of
the laborer and the poor man, yet
he is no blatant demagogue,
.seeking to array class against
(lass. He believes in "Equal
rights for all, and special priv
ileges for none."
Z Ho is in political harmony
with tbe dominant party in the
present House of Representa
tive^, and with what will be the
dominant party of the nation for
the next four years, and so, will
be letter able to get things for
Alaska than would a socialist or
|a tepudlican (be he a standpat
j ler or an independent republi
can.) What Alaska wants, it
| wants now. We cannot wait for
I the socialist millenium.
