This is the statement' of Captain J. T. Watson, who .was for 17 years a member of the local lce department. For four years he has been engaged In mining at Nome. He came "ouVlde" to bring eight federal prisoners to the Mc Neill's Island penitentiary and four In sane persons to the Mount Tebor sana torium. At-.-iPjlce headquarters this morning, while engaged In conversation with Captain Grltsmacher, he explained why Portland business men are letting thousands of dollars go to other cities which might be secured and placed In circulation in Portland. "I leave here In a few days for Nome," said Captain Watson, '"and shall take In a large stock of supplies with me. Everything will be purchased at Seattle, because otherwise I should have to pay freight on the goods from Portland la Seattle. Personally I would much pre. fer to buy my supplies here. Hundreds of others In the northern country feel the same as I. "From 15. to lf-vessels are constantly plying between Noma and Sari Fran- Portland.

They tiave to purchase new stocks ,of clothing on leaving the north and more money also goes to hotels," theatrical men and oJLhers.- "If boats ran between Portland? and Alaskan points, this city would getits share of this immense trade. The amount of money that would be left in Portland in the -spring and the fall by Alaskan pilgrims alone would be sur prising. Every resident of the city would share in the general good re sults." , Captain Watson states that by July 1 a mineral exhibit from the Seward pe ninsula will be Installed at the fair. He declares it will be a revelation to the general' public, showing that the pe ninsula is rich in tin, gold and , coal. Prospectors were very lucky last winter and several good strikes .were made, mostly on Little creek. ... "For a long time prospectors confined their tours to the beds of creeks, look ing for suitable formations," said the captain. IXhey have abandoned this practice now and look only for gold, as experience has shown that it is to be found everywhere. In the near future there will probably be good quarts min ing, as something is being done in that line of the, mining Industry now. The last wfntrr wasexceptionally mild and a great deal ofrospectjng was done. . "The proposition of having a mineral exhibit was worked up entirely by the OregM people who are at Nome and in that vicinity. "We corresponded with Governor Brady, and finding the Alaska appropriation, had been exhausted, sub scribed the money ourselves and got many ' others to contribute by repre senting to them the benefits to the Seward peninsula that would accrue from having a good exhibit at the ex position. I think it will be the best mineral exhibit at the fair. ' "Nome was better last winter than ever, and- next winter will exceed the last. ' The.futurs of Alaska is asafwed. Portlarm business men would better get Into the band wagon and ahare some 'of'-the profits they have delayed to long already." f , UP THE COLUMBIA RIVER.'

St. Johns does not have enough water, and what it has does not suit the people who use it The water main system of the town Is some what temporary In its nature, board con duits doing general service. n Either these boards have rotted, fr else there Is same seepage, for the flavor of tbe water is distinctly unique and one that requires a long acquaintance td make it palatable. Whether the water Is im pure t an 'extent that makes it dan gerous for drinking purposes has not been ascertained, and ao far no epidemic haa made a chemical analysts neces sary. . But the taste of the water, while somewhat unpleasant, la,, not the chief cause of the complaint, but rather the lack of any kind of water la the main cause of dissatisfaction. . - ' Recently the pumping . plant refused to work for a, few days, 1 and though other motive power was supplied the results were not satisfactory, and men and boys with buckets might be seen at all hours of the . day hunting hy drants that still had some water.- For several' days the place was a dry town In every sense of the word and rain water was thrice - welcome. The dam age to the plant has been repaired and a fair supply la. being given- the central mains, but" the - complaint Is that the town has outgrown the temporary sys tem that was put in and those living on the outskirts of the town say that there Is never enough water for other, than family uses. Last summer the same complaint .was made and probably more than 100 eir houses have peen..added to the main system sine then, with no increase in the slse or number of the mains.' Besides the inconvenience to the In dividual citlsens, and the loss caused by bucht gardens and lawns, the busi ness men are worried because there is no water pressure in the main business section. Before the place can be aecure from fire pipes will havs to. be laid through, the business districts and a direct pressure system vlestalled that can In- tima of need force the water through tha big; mains.

' One of the most unique camps of the many .that are being used in the city Is therone near the Peninsula mill site, close to the drydock. One of the chief officers of the company has extended a general Invitation to easterly friends to spend the summer wltn him, and this Invitation, has been accepted. A summer camp haa beeti buflritmnull grove near the river and aummer houses have been constructed " on the plan of log gers' cabins. The entire arrangement of bujldlnga and groundr has been that of a typical northwest logging camp, and the dally routine will be carried out fas far as possible .on the schedule, of such a camp.

A ' safe thut is large enough to - hold all the gold in Portland and most of the silver was added to the equipment of tha Peninsula bank at St Johns this week. - The former safe was found to be too small to carry the' needed funds and hold-the-books of the institution, so a . new one was purchased large enough to provide for future emergen cies.' The former aafewaa no small affair, weighing two tons and more, but it will easily slide into the lower compartment of the new safe and will be placed there, making doubly safe the funds of the bank, which are considera ble, since large amounts must be car ried to provide for payday customers. t - Otrs Ball for Faork Tnad.
