OUTSIDE POLITICS

The ultra conservative or Cleveland democrats say that the party can not win unless harmony can be secured
 Illinois republicans declared for Can non, endorsed Cullom for reelection to the senate and endorsed the Roosevelt administration.
 Tom Watson, the populist candidate in the last presidential campaign, has advised his Georgia constituents to vote for democratic nominees.
 The democratic campaign was to open in Missouri at Kansas City yesterday. Bryan, Governor Folk, Senator Stone and other notables were to speak.
 It is conceded that the republicans will lose several seats now held by them, but they will still have q working ma jority, beyond doubt, in the next con gress.
 Several prominent republicans in in- tervicws lately have expressed opposition to Cannon as presidential candidate be- cause he was too arbitrary as speaker of the house.
 Congressman Longworth, the presi- dents son-in-law, declares that no pos sible combination of circumstances can force Mir. Roosevelt to accept q nomina- ton ior third term.
 Republican leaders in Washington say that unless Roosevelt k forced to accept the nomination either Speaker Cannon or secretary Root will probably be named. A stand pat tariff policy will probably be adopted,

Great Copper Country.

J l.. Galen, brother-in-law of Sena- tor Carter of Montana, has arrived in Fairbanks from a trip extending all through that great wilderness and maze of mountains commonly termed the head of the White, Panama and Copper rivers. He tells the Fairbanks Times that he is fascinated with the great min eral wealth that lies locked in the heart of that region. He says the one key to unlock this wealth and make it possible for an empire of riches to be born is transportation. "Give me a railroad," he said, "and l will resist the tempta tions of the richest placer fields; let me hear the whistle of locomotive in that region and the sweetest music on earth will be but discord; let me see train of cars, and stocks, bonds and the chatter of gold will be mine without effort. There one sees great veins of copper ore and quartz, and endless areas of native copper in such abundance that in ones realization of this immense wealth it at once appears to change to shapes that grin in mockery at the feebleness of man to grasp the fortunes that lie at his finger ends" He says there are not over a score of men in the whole region, and that beyond locating claims they are powerless to derive reward

Tatlanika Country.

Otto K. Strizek recently returned to Fairbanks from the Tatlanika country, and the Fairbanks Evening News gave his version of the situation as follows:
 Nearly every one working in the Tat lanika now is on the paystreak. It isn't the richest streak in the world, SO far as it has been developed, but it pays good enough money to keep those who have found it from wandering elsewhere. Thus far the Discovery fork of Roosevelt creek, a tributary of the Tatlanika com ing in on the right limit, has proved the most profitable. Dan Jonas and Billy Brown, of the Eagle, jointly with Mir. Strizek, own l, ?, 3, and , on Roose- welt, and they have exposed the pay streak all along the line. Fred Brown has been in the district handling the Jonas and Brown end of the claims, and made the trip out with Mir. Strizek. There are fifteen men working on the string of claims, and every one of them is shoveling in SIS. Water was short during the midsummer months, but it loosened up during the latter part of July and now there is a plenty.
 ''The easiest thing in the world is to hold claim on the Tatlanika," said Mir. Strizek HYou can go out almost any where and make a discovery in twenty minutes, as it is only three feet to bed rock and the gravel is thawed. The gold is coarse, or rather 'shotty,' and runs better than $l7 to the ounce. The pay streak is in the creek, but no one has vet prospected the benches; so We don't know what they may be holding back for us"
