THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. THURSDAY, EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1910. JREGOWII IS ; J; R. Dodson Hopes Steamers . j Will Soon' Run J Between " V ' , Portland and Alaska. ; ' ; Traveling 480 silica over the Ice and : aoow by stage and sled, using- on th '. trip II horses, and spending- it days on tha journey la an - exhilarating- ex perlence, but if peoplo want to get out of Interior Alaska at thla tlma of tha year some sucn arrangement la oeces aary. J. R. Dodaon haa Just come down from Alaaka to renew ; acquaintance, nd, aa bualneaa reasons made It Im possible for hi pi, to come out In the . early fall, when the passage can be mads , by boat, . ha waa forced to take thla trip from Circle City. ' . Mr. Dodson haa been in' bualneaa In Circle City since 1896. A good many here remember Mr. Dodson, formerly of Portland and Pendleton.-. Ha owna the funeral merchandise . store of -Circle City which doea between $70,000 and f 80,000 worth of business a year, ..' In addition he haa Just purchased tha North American Trade & Transporta tion company,, which haa boats, running .from Seattle along the Alaskan coast and up the river to St. Michaels and over to Circle and Dawson, a trip which consumes .from 85 to 50 days, and along another route from Soattle to Skagway to Dawson, consuming about 13 days. Should Be Una rrom Portland. Mr. Dodson's chief hop Is that Port land will In time establish a direct line to Alaska that merchants may have a slight Inducement to buy their atores here. All traders are tired of dealing with Seattle, "ha said, for the latter city haa beaten them-out of so much money and takes advantage 'of every opportu nity to do so. Mr. Dodson said that he has presented tha question to various business men and organisations In town, but no action has been taken. As con dltions are. It costs too much to buy provisions In Portland, ship them to Seattle and then to Alaska, but If the direct .line ' were established the cost would be less than from Seattle, con slderlng the exorbitant profit Seattle people demand. Even as It IS, some Alaskans have had their Ire so aroused that they are planning to Inour the extra expense of buying In , Portland, and Mr, Dodaon plana this year to do all. Ms buying and shipping from San Francisco, where he will go In about a week. !'..' If the new Idltarod mines turn out rich It will occasion the biggest stam- pedo In the spring ever known In the Alaskan country, according to Mr. Dod son. A prospector struck gold there this fall and already over 1,000 people have gone there to wait for the spring weather' to permit them to sink shafts. No definite news can be neara till March, but If It Is favorable the Daw- aon, Fairbanks and Nome stampedes will sink Into insignificance because of the far greater number of people .now In Alaska. The Idltarod country is on the lovrer Yukon, and the lucky strike Is near the former find on the Inoke river in the same territory, , which turned out to be a false alarm. Dodson Well Zafomed. Mr. Dodson Is full of InformatUa about Alasta. His own town of Circle, where he has spent the past IS years, is 620 miles Inland from Valdes, on the Tukon, In Central. Alaska, and 18 miles from the Arctlo circle. About 80 peo ple live In the town and some 800 In the neighboring mines, which are rich and are now being bought up largely by big companies. Some of the Inhabitants of the small town he says. he has' not seen for two or three years, because they shut themselves up In their cabins and don't come out all winter, never take exercise or do anything but eat ana mope, this, be said. Is the reason that so many people go Insane in the Ice-country; . - -. "'.' The travel rates and accommodations up there would astonish even the South ern Faclflo patrons. Stage fare Is 85 ocnts a mile, meals at the road houses sre 12, even If you, take no more than a cup of coffee, and ,"bunks" are ft. By stage the horses, usually working four at a time, are chanced every 20 miles, r Provisions are laid by In the summer when freight rates by boat are only four cents a pound from Seattle to Circle. The 'unlucky man ., who . finds himself provision!., in the winter must pay 00 cents s pound transporta tion from Valdes to Fairbanks and must do his own hauling to Circle. A rail road Is being built from Cordova on the ooast line to the copper mines a little inland which when completed sometime next summer will be one of the finest equipped roads In the world and will open to Alaska the control of the cop per market of the world. - Incidentally, it Is Interesting to know that Circle City has the finest wireless station In the world. V Mr. Dodaon has nothlnr favorable to say about missions In Alaska,-opining that they merely cater to laziness. He said there Is a mission at Circle, that the building cost about f 5,000, and that there are two dirty little natives there as pupils with two. salaried teachers to Instruct them, . As long as the natives are left alone they hunt and fish and keep themselves comfortable, but those tliat have once been taken care of and have received provisions from the mis sion become-lasy and think the mission will provide food for them.-. 'j Recently-granted patents covered an electrically-driven screw driver, an electrlo portable hammer and an eleo trio window washer. SETTLERS LOOK F iran Passage of Bourne's Bill Ap ,'propriatlng ; That v Amount; JVould Greatly Help Them. ; Many In Oregon are Interested In the Introduction of a bill In congress by Senator Jonathan Bourne for the ap proprlatlon of 8260,000 for the relief of 200 or more settlers of the Sherman county overlap, who were ousted In 1900 following a decision of the supreme court giving title to the The Dalles Military Road company. .. ' Based on estimates made by T. B. Neuhausen of Portland, then chief in spector for the west representing the secretary of the Interior, Senator Bourne's bill follows several others In troduced by Oregon congressmen. For mer Senator John M.-Gearln submitted bill appropriating 11,260,000 for re lief. "V . - ' History of the Sherman county over lap shows the Injustice done to settlers on the 10,000 or more acres comprising the tract, now one of the richest wheat growing sections In the northwest Grants Overlay. When the Northern Pacific, Intending to build down the Columbia river, filed its map of . location, a land grant 20 miles wide, " Was) ' made by congress. Some time later, and 'before the North ern Pacific finally decided to use an other route. The Dalles Military Road company filed its map of location, Its line, overlapping that-of "the Northern' Paclflo grant In the northern part of unerman county, .v. ',) , ' Litigation ' followed - between the Northern Paclflo and military road com pany, tha railroad company withdrew its map or- location and selected an other: route. Then the question arose as to whether the Northern 'Paclfia grant. Including the land In the over lap, should be thrown open for settle ment :or whether the overlap should oe given to the military road company. mice Hmitn; then secretary ot the In terior, oectded to throw the land open for settlement Two hundred or' more settlers rushed It. resided upon and Improved the land and the great ma Jortty proved up But In the meantime, me military road company bad brought suit In the United BUtes court, and in 1(00 the United States supreme court reversed Smith's decision and ordered the ousting of settlers. Patents to the 1 , . . M - una were cancelled. Many forma of relief for the settlers thus ousted were offered, and In 1903 Mr.' Neuhausen spent three months In the overlap, appraising the land. He made a detailed report giving the land valuea as they were at the time the settlers were ousted. Sixty dollars an acre was tha average valuation made. Many of the settlers have now left the land, but the majority, according to Mr. Neuhausen, are still living on their original homesteads as tenants of the military road company.
