The Nome Caucus.


 Everything was lovely at the repub- Iican caucus held at Golden Gate hall last evening. There was a general unan- unity of opinion, and the plans out lined by the different committees went through as smoothly as a toboggan slides down the ski jump.
 Chairman ". T. Perkins called the meeting to order, and Mir. Milroy, chair man of the committee on resolutions and the selection of delegates, reported that the committee had decided upon C. S. Hannum for chairman and Harry G. Steele for secretary. Judge Hannum vas then called to the platform. After a speech had been made by the chair man, the committee on resolutions pre- sented the following platform:
 PLATFORM.
 We, the republicans of Nome, Alas ka, assembled in convention for the purpose of electing delegates to the Territorial Convention to be held at Juneau, Alaska, on November II, 1907, do unite upon and adopt the following platform, to-wit:
 We endorse the administration of our president, Theodore Roosevelt; we believe that as a citizen he is the high est example of true AmericaniSm; that as the executive head of the nation ho stands for the rights of the individual citizen against corporate greed and avarice; that he is the great leader of the contest now being waged to restrain great aggregations of wealth in their eudeaVor to control the departments of our government; that we should up hold his hands and give him our un- qualified support in the future until this great contest is settled; and that present conditions demand that he be retained as the executive head of the nation.
 We demand immediate and uncon- ditional territorial government for Al asba as our right without question.
 We demand that Alaskans shall gov ern Alaska, that cur offices be filled with our own people.
 We earnestly endorse the efforts of our delegate in congress, the Honorable Thomas Gale, in his work for territor- ial government for Alaska, and for the principle, "Alaska for Alaskans," and we pledge him our hearty support in his endeavor to carry this great work to ultimate success, and we do com mend him to all republicans of Alaska as worthy of their unanimous support in this behalf.
 We instruct our delegates to the Ju neau convention that these are the principles that the republicans of Nome demand that they support with out qualification or equivocation, and that they carry out the same.
 That our delegation be further in- structed to act as a unit on all ques- tions coming before the convention and to cooperate with the entire Sew. ard delegation towards this end-for the furtherance of Seward peninsula's best interests.
 Dated September 24, 1907.
 After the platform had beed adopted without discussion, Chairman Lomen of the subcommittee appointed to se- cure the names of delegates who are willing to go to the territorial conven- tion at Juneau, presented the follow ing names as delegates, all of whom

Judge James Wickersham declares that he is not, and will not be, candi- date for delegate to congress, and that he favors the nomination of Gale by the Juneau convention.
 Bion Dodge, a newspaper man of Fairbanks, Alaska, says that Fairbanks is not solid for Thomas Gale as Alaska delegate and that he and many others are favoriug Postmaster Cum for that position.
 The fishing schooner "Maid of Or Icans," arrived at Seattle from Unga, Alaska, with a cargo of 5OO,O00 pounds of codHsh. The vessel yves gone but seven weeks, and the catch is consider ed unusually large.
 The report of the federal grand jury just recently in session at Ketcbikan is a fearful and wonderful document; after examining eight cases and finding seven true bills, the jury seems to have devoted a large part of its time to the discovery of uusanitary toilets.
 When you write a Northern yarn, of the long Alaska trail-True, you may not know Alaska, and may prove it in the tale-There's a simple rule to fol. low, lest your book meet with sad fate; If you call the sled dogs "huskies," you can bluff it through first rate.-Denver Republican.
 Reynolds is quoted as saying just be- fore he left Valdez for Seattle that Sam Blum, the banker, was the only smart man in town, the rest being chumps. When Reynolds formed his score or more of corporations here, Blum re- fused to sell his bank, but he gave Key holds an option on his mercantile busi- ness, getting S5O,OOO cash through a Se- attle bank. Blum has the S5O,OOO, the balance of $50,OOO not having been paid and his mercantile business, while Key holds has the option.-SileX in Katalla Herald
 FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Oct. 26.-Weather reports fram Nome and Dawson are the most peculiar for years. The weather is warm and clear, and from only few places comes news that there has been any freezing weather. Little slush ice is running in the Yukon river at pres ent. Snow which fell two weeks ago has melted entirely away. Toward the coast, on the Valdez trail, it is reported that snow is from four to six feet deep, but that the weather is warm and few streams have even had a coating of ice on their surface.
 The Nome Nugget says: Last Friday night, while J. w. Mcleod, William Blackstone and partners were quietly sleeping in their cabin, about one claims length away from the scene of their work on Twin Mountain creek, a robber removed the rifles of their sluice boxes and got away with Sl,5OO or S2,OOO worth of gold dust. The work of the thief was done in the coolest manner possible. The tracks made by his new rubber boots were traced around the cabin and thence up stream to the tool box. From there he took hammer and proceeded to the boxes, from the first two of which he removed the rifles. Taking the dirt short way up stream, he washed it and went on his way.

CAMPS TEAM
Recognized Football authority Gives
the Newspapers Some
Pointers.

Walter Camp. the recognized
authority on football, has an
nounced his all-Amedcan team for
1905. Now that he has made
known his team, newspapers all
over the country will cease naming
what they think would make good
team. There was much speculation
as to who the players would be this
year and one or two that were
chosen by Camp. surprised many.
The placing of Jones and McCor-
mick on the team again has caused
much surprise. There are many
that believe Dillon, OF Princeton
should have first call over Jones and
that Coy, of Yale, was better than
Mccormick.
Camps team as selected for 1907
is as follows:
End-Dague. Annapolis.
Draper, Penn.
Guard-ziegler, Penn.
Schulz, Michigan,
Guard-Erwin. West Point.
End-Alcott, Yale.
Quarter-Jones, Yale.
Half-back-Wendell, Harvard.
Half-back-Harlan, Princeton.
Full-back-McCormick, Princeton.

| go in too, and with these was to unite
| that mother hog Of them all, Stand
ard Oil' itself. The trust was to be
an enormous company, the like Of
which had until then not even been
dreamed of by the most daring stock
manipulators. Tho Systems" banks,
as well as trust and insurance com
panies throughout the country, had
for a long time been getting into
shape by concentrating the money of
the country for this monster trust.
1t was newspaper and news bureau
gossip that Reinhart and his crowd
had bought milliong of shares of the
different stocks involved in the deal,
and it was common knowledge that
upon its successful completion Rein
harts fortune would be in the neigh
borhood of a billion. On October LIST
the certificate Of the Anti-People's
Trust, $4,000, 100000 capital, 100000
900 shares, were listed upon the New
York, London, and Boston Stock Ex-
changes, and the German and French
Bourses, and trading in them started
off fast and furious at 106. The claim
that one billion of the twelve billions
capital had been set aside to be used
in protecting and manipulating the
stock in the market, had been so wide
" advertised that even the most dar-
ing plunger did not think of selling ii
short.
It was evident to all in the stock
gambling world that this was to be
the Systems" grand coup, that at
it's completion the masses would be
rudely awakened to a realization that
their savings were invested in the
combined American industries at vast
ly inflated values, that the few had
all the real money, and that any at
tempt upon the peoples part to rega-
late and control the new system of
robbery, would be fraught with I'M
paralleled disaster-not to the "Sys-
tenn" but to the people.

Europe with Beulah \ great Ger

held out hope that six months treat

might aid in restoring her mind. They
returned the following August, The
trip had been fruitless.
When he left for Europe the
Street breathed more freely. and as
time went by and there was no sign
of his confidence-distnrbi influence
in the market, the System" began
to bring out its deferred deals. Times
were ripe for setting up the most
wildly inflated stock Misunderstanding
traps. II had been advertised through
out the world that Tom Reinhart, now
a two-hundred-time millionaire, was to
consolidate his and many other enter
prises into one gigantic trust with
twelve billions of capital. His Union
and Southern Pacific railroads. his
Southern lines, together with his
steamship company and lead, iron,
and copper mines, were to be merged
with the steel, traction, gas, and other
enterprises he owned jointly with
STANDARD OIL" Some of the railroads
owned by Rockefeller and his pals, in
which Reinhart had no part, were to
