 The property loss from the muuda- uou so far footed up k at least S5oo,- GDO, extending over POO square miles ot Lo0ded district.
 In the region where the Hoods were rhe worst. along the White, Green, Stuck and PuyaIup rivers, the waters are receding slightly and the situation s somewhat improved. Confidence Is growing and residents are going back 10 their homes at Benton, Auburn and ether places down the valley.
 On the other hand the lowland suburbs of Seattle near the sound, particularly South Park and George Sown, are still under water, which is rising slightly and threatens them with annihilation. Many people have abandoned these places and the exodus continues hourly.
 Bridges were washed out all over the county and travel by land is al- most cut of. Electric lines are down in many places and majority of the hoEns were in total darkness last night. Seattle was partially without electric lighting, as the only source of supply was the steam plants in the city. The city is suffering not only from a shortage of electrical power but the supply of coal and milk is greatly Eurtailed. No trains are running m or eat of the city and the dairies and coal mines are unable to send their pro- ducts in. Telegraph lines are still nearly all down.

ASKS MONEY
 FOR ALASKA
Arctic Brotherhood Encampment Urges Appropriations for
 Improvements.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Vancouver, B. C., Nov. 10 - The Arctic Brotherhood grand encamp- ment adopted an address to be sent to President Roosevelt asking that he recommend to congress liberal appro- priations for lighthouses, bell buoys, headlights, roads and bridges in Alaska. The address atlirms that eX- tensive construction of these improve ments is needed to insure safe travel between Alaska and the states and to tighten the burdens of the miners who are adding so largely to the wealth of the nation.
 The encampment also petitioned the president to recommend an appropria- tion of S5OO,OOO for an Alaska exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific eXposi- tion in Seattle in 1909. The encamp- ment voted to erect a magnificent building on the exposition grounds. It is to be structure suitable for per- manent use as the Seattle home of members of the Brotherhood.

Trains Not Running

Trains are not running on any of the railroads through the valley as the tracks are covered with water, in many places to the depth of several feet, and it is probable that in some places they are washed away. Nearly all telegraph wires are down and for twenty-hours Seattle has been practi- cally shut off from the outside world except by steamers on the Sound.
 The present is the most stupendous food ever known in the Northwest. It was caused by constant heavy rains for 8 week, which with warm weather melted enormous quantities of snow in the mountains. The water is still rising. No loss of life is reported so far but numerous thrilling escapes have been made An electric car carrying lO6 persons got stuck in the mud near Riverton while surrounded by rising water.

RAILROAD FIXES S1O RATE
 TO TERMINUS FOR MINERS

The Alaska Central today announced a SlO rate for miners this winter to the end of the track, on mile 4S, including outfits up to 25O pounds. The miners rate was announced today by F. H.. Stewart, treasurer and acting general manager, and it will prevail until further notice.
 Although little construction work will be done for two or three months until the days become long enough for men to put in full time, it is probable that a train will be run about once a week to accommodate the miners go- ing over the line to the Yentna soun- try or return.
 This rate will enable prospectors to out in Seward, the only available place in the winter season, and get their supplies inside with a minimum of effort. From the end of the track to the Yentna river there is good win. ter trail all the way excepting the sin gle obstacle of Crow creek pass, which is only half mile long, although very steep.

OPPOSES LOCAL
 RULE IN ALASKA
President Roosevelt Believes Ter ritOrIal Government Inad.
 yiSabIe Now
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington. D, C., Nov. l4-Presi- dent Roosevelt opposes territorial government for Alaska for the pres ent. He says he wants to do all in his power to help Alaska secure legisla- ton beneficial to its interests but he believes that other subjects of legisla- tion are of more value and importance to the territory than self-gOvernment.
 It is thought here that the proposi- tion to erect Alaska into an organized territory will fail at the present Ses- sion. Many influential senators and representatives think the territory is too sparsely settled to allow any bene fit to accrue from self-government. Delegate Thomas Gale is expected to urge a territorial government bill in the Sixtieth congress but nothing is expected to result during the short term of the present congress.

GEORGE ADAMS
 GETS TEN YEARS
Assay Office Embezzler Pleads Guilty and Is Sentenced
 to Penitentiary.
By Cable Co The Daily Gateway.

Seattle, Nov l5-George Edward Adams, the embedding cashier of the Seattle assay office, this morning changed his plea of not guilty of the charges of embedding the gold of Alaska miners to that of guilty and vas sentenced on each of two counts to five years in the federal pentteutiary, by Judge Hantord in the U. $. district .ourt The sentences do not run con- currently and his term will be ten years.
 The hearing before Will II. Thomp- son, the referee appointed by the court to determine the claims of men who lost gold by the thefts of Adams, is still in progress. Much difficulty is found in producing proof of the actual amount of loss in individual cases, though the fact of some deficiency is easily established.

 Senor Nabuco refused to answer many of the questions and he became very indignant at his reception in the land to which he is accredited as the diplomatic representative of friendly sister republic.
