N. C. PEOPLE KNOW
 NOTHING ABOUT IT
Shortage Would Be Strange,
 However.

Local representatives of the N. C. Co.,, when asked about the mat ter. said they had received no noti- fcation that the company would decline further consignments of up- river freight, as stated by Nome dispatch of July 13 printed in the Dawson Daily News. The com pany people did not say whether they credited the report or not, but the impression was left that they did not.
 When the reported Fairbanks shortage was preached there was an incredulous look followed by the remark that a serious shortage there would be very strange oc- currence just now.

FEDERAL OFFICIAL
 ON HIS ROUNDS
Represents Department of
 Justice.

Plato Mountjoy, examiner, de- partment of justice, is in Rampant in the discharge of the duties of lis office. His examination of the af- fairs of the local court officials is completed and he awaits the arrival of down-river steamer, when he will proceed to Fairbanks.
 After he has completed his ex- aminations at Fairbanks. Col. Mountoy will proceed down river to Nome. The affairs of the First district received his attention be- fore he came to the Yukon.
 Col. Mountjoy's headquarters is at Washington, D. C., but he is at present fresh from Okl homa and the Indian Territory. and talks en- tertainingly of the country there.
 Oklahoma and Indian Territory ombined have a population ex- ceeding a million, Col. Mountjoy says. Oklahoma has over Goo ,ooo. There is a perfect network of rail roads.
 Oklahoma City has a population of 35.ooo. There are miles of as- phalt paved street and the city is supplied with electric railways and all the essentials of modern civili- ration.
 Settlement is somewhat retarded in Indian Territory by the fact that the Indians are prohibited for a period of twenty years from selling their land. Members of the five civilized tribes will be free to dis. pose of their land as they see fit after the expiration of the time mentioned. and it will make them very wealthy.
 Louis K. Pratt and Deputy Mar shal Dreibelbis will accompany Col. Mounuoy to Panama.

 The Cudahy is due from St.. Michael. It is reported she is now at Weare undergoi ng slight repairs to her boilers.
 J. B. Strode arrived late last night from Quail creek. The trail, he says. is in a fearful condition. Big Minook creek was so high that he could not cross the horses. and he abandoned them and made his way to the Indian village, where he was ferried over.

PORTSMOUTH-tspeciail British
submarine boat no. Al sa6 d down
and sunk Of The Nab nghtship FRIDAY
BY a Donai curric liner. aud eleven pei.
sons were drowned. including Lieu
tenant Manscrgb. the senior officer
engaged in the submarine work The
liner passed on and reported that she
had struck a torpedo.
A. the time she was struck. the SUB
marine was off the lightship engaged
IN the maneuyers and was lying ~
seven fathoms Of water, waiting he
approach Of q battleship.
The boat was one Of the newest OF
the fleet Of submarine vessels and was
built from the latest models. but she
has always beer a bad diver. She vas
Inspected BY both King Edward ana
the Prince Of Wales.
The name OF the Donald currie
liner which struck the submarine boat
Is the Berwick Castle. from East Lon
don, South Africa. The Joss Of the
boat was not known for several hours
after the liner had reported 20 me
maneuvering fleet that she had struck
a torpedo. The officers Of the liner
say that they saw q glittering torpedo
like shape in the water and II Is sup
posed. therefore. that the submarine
boat rose just before she vas struck.
The officers Of the feet did not sup
pose for a moment that the submarine
had been struck and continued opera
tons. expecting the vessel 20 reappear
at some other point. Finally a search
was made and the breaking Of tho
waves revealed the presence OF the
submarine boat.
There is no doubt that all members
Of the crew died IN the steel tube. II
is thought that the Berwick Castle. in
striking, upset the trim Of the boat
snd spilled the gasoline in the tanks,
rendering her helpless. The crew was
battened down and must have met
death from suffooation in the absence
Of air and owing to the fumes Of the
gasoline.
