Watterson' S Prediction Confirmed

then two more terms for Teddy. That
is what son-in-law Nick LongwoIth
says. When the children prattIe we

Taft. If he can be elected, anybody
can be, and once within the portals of

EARLY COUNT IN
 FAVOR OF M'BR|DE

Seattle, Sept. 0--With the count of the vote cast at yesterdays prim- aries far from being completed it is impossible at this time to forecast the result. So far Mcbride is ahead in the race for the nomination as gover- nor. There is nothing as yet on which to base judgment as to the outcome of the contest for nomination as senator.
 The vote was light but the tickets arc very large as there is q big num- Der of candidates for each country office. For some of the offices the fight has been very bitter and cspec- ially is this true of the fight between Senator Ankeny and Congressman Jones for the republican nomination as senatorial candidate. The guber- material fight has also been very acrimonious.

JAPAN AND RUSSIA
 ARE IN TROUBLE

Victoria, B. C., Sept. 5--t}Usaia and Japan may become involved in troub- le as the result of arrest, trial and treatment of Japanese seal hunters who arc now in NladiVOStOCk. Word to this effect is brought by the officers and passengers of the steamship Elm press of India which arrived from the Orient last night. When the Empress left Japan the government officials were much exercised concerning the reports coming from VladivOstOck.
 According to the report coming on the Empress the Japanese were cap tured eleven miles off tho Siberian coast. The sealcrs protested against arrest on the ground that the Boring sea limit is three miles from shore but they were informed that the Rus. sian limit is thirty miles and their protests were given no consideration.
 Taken to VladiVostock tho prisoners were confined in filthy dungeons and they allege inhuman treatment on the part of their guards, and also that they were nearly starved. At the completion Of tho trial six of the poachers were condemned to be shot but they were afterward granted q re- prieve.

GRAY PLANS ID
 WORK ALL WINTER

Busy with plans for the winter work he purposes, F. r. Gray manager in Alaska for tho Great Northern De- velopment Company is in Valdez, ar irving yesterday afternson from the company's properties in the inside. Mir. Gray's plans provide for the pur- chsso of five electric drills to be used in extending the various tunnels which arc now being progressed into the mountains. This machinery will be taken in just as soon as the snow will permit and work will continue throughout the winter.
 The Great Northern Development Company owns some 200 claims To- cated variously in the Kotsina, Iron Mountain, Copper Mountain and Ken nekott districts. During the summer eighty men have been at work and all told about 1 1,5OO feet of tunnel has been run on the different properties, seven camps being maintained. The main camp is at Kotsina. MT. Gray purposes working twenty men this winter.
 In discussing the result of the sea sons work MT. Gray is inclined to be very conservative and says that so far he considers that only prospecting has been done. He believes, though, that the future will demonstrate that his belief in the value of the proper ties is correct.
 Mir. Gray says that while the srr- face shoWings arc of high grade ore he believes that depth will show q low grade concentrating proposition. Location of cOncentrators and possibly a shelter, are questions that must await the result of further work is the way MT. Gray feels concerning the situation.
 "Wc have found that the ground is too hard for successful work with a pick and shovel" said Mir. Gray, "and this fact has determined us to install machinery. I shall go out just as soon as the matters that must be fixed up here will permit, and l shall re- '''ih uS So'i' do l'ooSl''ic' | liS "oih done by the road commission makes it possible to get machinery inside Immediately there is sufficient snow to make sledding. We have abund- ant water power and will set up drills at two of our camps. Once the m achines arc at work l expect pros pccting to proceed rapidly"
 In the opinion of MT. Gray Alaska needs moro than anything else at the present time wagon roads that will permit getting machinery inside. He bell eyes that once the existence of ore is established beyond any doubt railroads will come after the tonnage. He gives much praise to the work done during the present season by the road commission.

SUICIDE THEORY EXPLAINS MYSTERY

Omaha. Sept. 4-That Dr. Rustin, whose body several days ago was found under circumstances leading to the belief that murder had been com mittcd, died suicide is now the be lief of the authorities. The informa- comes from Mrs. Abbercc, who for three days has been under arrest on suspicion Chat she knows something concerning the manner in which Dr. Rustin came to his death.
 This morning it was announced from police headquarters that the woman persists in sticking to her first statement that she is in absolute ig- norance of any of the circumstances in connection with the affair. Her story that leads her to believe Dr. Rustin committed suicide is given cro- dence by the officers who have proved a part. of what she has said with re- gard to tho financial conditions which Dr. Rustin, just before his death, is alleged to have told her he was in.
 Mrs. Abbierco says that Dr. Rustin told her that he was hopelessly in debt, that he had been notified to va cate his office unless the rent was immediately paid and that he had drawn checks when he had no funds in the bank. Dr. Rustin carried $50, GOO life insurance but aside from this, {. nN- single unencumbered asset to meet the financial obligations in which the deceased was involved.

MINNESOTA HAS
 DISASTROUS FIRE

St. Paul, Sept. 8--Forest fires start ing Sunday afternoon have devasta- ted St. Louis county. The damage is the worst in years from such a cause, 12,500 being made homeless and property to the value of s, ,5OO,- 900 being destroyed.
 Governor Johnson has issued q call for relief and has named the mayors of the various cities, in the state as committee to take charge of the re- lief work. Immediate action is nec- essary as starvation confronts many of those living in the devastated dis trict..
 The fire was driven before gale and swept on it's course regardless of all efforts made to check it's progress. So far as known no lives were lost and it is believed that the danger is past as the wind has died down and the fire has practically burned itself out. The town of Chisholm was com pletely wiped out.

MINNESOTA FIRE
 GAINING HEADWAY

Duluth, Minn., Sept. 9-The forest fires that wrought such destruction in St. Louis county have again obtained q start and there is grave danger that q fate akin to that which befell Chis- holm will be visited upon several small towns and that large area of country will be devastated.
 Tho fro is now burning fiercoly on Mesaba range and for miles the country is smothered in smoke. Snow ball, small settlement of 100 per sons, is reported az destroyed and other towns are threatened with des- truction. For two days the country for Il radius of 100 miles has not seen the sun which has been beating fiercely but which has by the smoke been obscured as though behind heavy clouds.
 The governors appeal for assis- tance for those made homelese by the fire in St. Louis county has met with ready response and unless the fire eats up too greaba territory there ia no danger of starvation. Some of tho district now threatened is far from the main sources of supplies and it is possible tbat there may be suffer ing before assistance can reach the victims.

FIRE LAYS WASTE
 TOWN IF RAWIHIDE

Rawhide, New, Sept, 5-Rawhide today is nothing more than heap of smoldering embcrs Of what were only few, hours ago fine business and residence structures. Fire starting yesterday afternoon has wiped the town completely out and has caused q loss of nearly $l,0OO, ,OOO.
 Rawhide, last night, had not q mor- sel of food and q famine was only aver ted by the arrival this morning of a re- lief train from Reno. The town is un- der martial law but there seems to be no reason for tho presence of armed guards as there has not been the slightest scmblencc of disorder.
 When it was found that other means were futile dynamite was used to check the progress of the blaze and d ton and half of the explosive was discharged toward this purpose but the wrecked buildings were eaten up by the fire. The plants of the three newspapers were saved and publication has not bcon interrupted.
 With tho ruins Still smoking, and in places blazing, the business men are busily engaged with plans for reconstruction. Many offers of re- lief have been received and the San Francisco Mining Exchange has tele- graphed $5,000. Word comes from Goldfleld that one relief train is now on the way and that second is be- ing prepared and will depart before night.

 '"This means more for Valdez, and in fact for all this part of Alrska, than anything that ever has taken place or that has ever been conjectured, declared Mir.

As might be ex- pected in the case of transaction involving $7,5OO, ,OOO this proposition has been given good deal of con- sideration and these people purpose losing no time in placing on a paying basis the mines they have bought, constructing the railroad and erecting the smelter or smelters which enter into their plans for the future"

they will have q large corps of min ing and railroad engineers in this country. The McCarty property is included in the deal as is also the Steuart interests in both mine and railroad.
 'SO far as the Steuart interests are concerned there is absolutely noth- ing optional about the transaction as it has been taken over outright. With regard to our property we insisted upon certain conditions in order to protect ourselves but these conditions have been practically agreed to and I am confident that nothing will inter- fcre to alter the present plans"
 MT, Hubbard states that the deal involving the other properties was comsummatcd early in the present year but that the financiers and the Hubbard and Elliott people were nine weeks coming to an agreement. It was this delay that prevented the en- gineers coming to Valdez last June. The syndicate brought to Chicago

YUKON VALLEY |S
 GOOD FOR FARMS

"It is pleasure to be able to report the gratifying success in all the farm ing undertakings at the Rampant sta tion during the past season." says c. c. Georgeson, special agent of the az ricultural department in his latest re- port. "For some reason as yet un- explained the climatic conditions in the Yukon valley appear to be more favorable to crop production than they are in the Copper river valley. Killing frosts occur about two weeks later and the rainfall is nearly doub- le what it is at Copper Center.
 '"The land was cropped this year for the third time and very great inn provemcnt was noticeable in it's pro- ductiveness. Aside from the garden, very little of the land has been fertil- ized at all. The grain this year grew to q uniform height and the heads were of good length. This is a very encouraging feature. It shows what q beneficial effect cultivation alone has upon this soil."
 Ire articles grown range from gar den truck to the winter varieties of wheat, and also include berries and flowers. Hardly an article grown in tho state of Washington but has eli ther proved to be a good grower or has shown that at least one variety can be raised with success.
 One of the most interesting features of MT. Georgcson's report is the let ters sent by mon who have re ceived government seeds and who had been asked to report their experience in gardening with the seeds. The most interesting of all comes from Frank Howard, commissioner at Coldfoot, on the KoyuBuk, in latitude G7:15, far above the Arctic circle. Mr. How ard says:
 My whole garden was ususually successful during the season of 1907 The reason for such was prolonged period of clear warm days and nights, could say q period of continuous day with almost continuous sunshine during June and July, with no cloudy weather and frosty nights. I trans planted cucumbers to open garden the first week in June, The result was much better than l expected, with cucumbcrs six and seven inches in length.
 'WC had a fine bed of rhubarb in a board incloSuro. The turnips grown arc Orange Jelly or Robertson Golden Ball, Yellow Aberdeen and Yellow or Amber Globe, one specimen weigh ing ninc pounds eleven ounces. Early summer cabbage and Early Jersey Wakefield were grown. The best Early Summer weighed nearly eight pounds. Caulinower and broc- coli also grew fairly well. I planted four varities of lettuce.
 My potato crop generally was q success, for this country at least. Tho best result was from seed pota- toes hOmeg grown, two years. The whole crop blossomed. I sold sev- eral crates of potatoes at 25 cents per pound, and have enough left for table use all winter and seed in spring"
 Thousands of miners and all the stations of>the signal corps are credi- ted by MT. Georgeson as raising their own vegetables.
