AFTER IT
Many Want to Be Governor
 of Alaska

There are many applicants for the appointment to the governOrship of Alaska, the principal candidates, how ever, being John c. Brady, the present incumbent, John G. Held, of Juneau, and w. T. Perkins, of Nome. All of these are making earnest campaigns for the appointment Many of the papers of the district are lining up in the support of one or the other of the candidates, but so far as known, only Gov. Brady's own paper is for him, though his appointment would probably not be distasteful to the Valdez Pros pector. The Nome papers are aiding the campaign Of W. T, Perkins, Of that place, and the Juneau Dispatch has announced that it will advoc 'te the appointment of John c Heid, of Juneau.
 There are many people in the dis trict who would like to see the appoint ment go toJ NJ. Shoup, marshal of the Southeastern division. MT. Shoup is not distasteful to any of the factions of his party, and h. is recognized as the most popular official in the dis triCt.

WHAT IS II
People Wondering If Midas
 Greek Is a Myth

The question that Is now uppermost in the minds of many of those in the interior of Alaska is whether the Midas creek stampede is based upon a foundation of fact or myth. Midas creek is supposed to be a trIbu- tary of .he Koyukuk, and for several weeks parties, bearing a suspicious air, have been leaving for the place. The stampeders have gone over the White Pass through Skagway and up the Yukon river from St. Michael. They have gone from the cities in the states and from Nome and other Alaskan points. Many of them have hinted at having a tip of a iabulously rich find at tbe new creek, but none talked cohereutly. A wise wink oi the eye, and half articulated, 'Just wait" have excited many people, though most of them have been tender feet.
 At Nome, the people hove about con- cluded that the whole matter is a hoax, and the fact that few old sour doughs take any stock in it is pointed out as Justification of the community's yer dict.

NO GAME
Efforts to Have BaSy ball
 COntl st Fail

All efforts to have a baseball contest tomorrow have failed. Ernest Dosch, on behalf of an aggregation of wharf rats, has tried to arrange a match with the Monkey Wrenches, whom he challenged to defend their title to the rag time championship, but he did not even get bite.
 Sut Cottrell, the manager, and Billy BIackmer, the captain of the Monkey Wrenches, turned the challenge down by communication, which in words and figures was as follows: "We regret very much that the Mon key Wrenches cannot accept the chal- .lenge of the Wharf Rats, We have re- leased all our players for the season and it would be impossible for us to make new contracts with players at this late hour.
 ".f the Wharf Rats persist in their challenge, and will give us time, we will telegraph the Pacific Coast League for players and accommodate them in the near future,"

AS the high water that has covered
most Of the plantations along the Ar

barren waste where once stood
growing crops. The river falls very
slowly and the farmers can do nothing
until the water leaves the fields. In

Reports from Pastoria and Sheriff. in
The northern part Of the county. say
that all farm work is at stand still
and the farmers can do nothing but
watch and wait for the water to go
down. In the southern portion, that
portion last overf1oWed by the high
water the fields have drained more
rapidly and some little work can be
done.
Officials at the Cotton Belt depot
say that the trains over the main
line will be running through tomorrow
and perhaps tonight The work of
repairing the tracks on the main line
and draining off the water from the
