RISTl WE ARE DISCOVERED

Juueau's boy sleuth has been at work aCain-and we are discovered. Tester day remark was made of the whitening anxiety experienced by the Record as to the sum received by the Alaskan for little bit of that Corson advertising which was spread over the entire dis trict as an incident of whirlwind cam paigu which found 1t so hard to whirl, The editorial quoted yesterday was headed "Coniesses it." The very next day the Record began its daily lamen- tatIon on the subject under the heading "Why Deny It?" Well, of course, after a thing is once confessed there is little use lu denying it, but, proceeding, the boy sleuth takes all the credit of dis eovery notwithstanding. With the startling emphasis exactly as here rep resented, following, the Record launch es an arraigument of this paper. It cries out
 "why does the Alaskan adopt the tactics 1t does? This page KNOWS AND KNOWS HOW MUCH THE SKAGWAY ALASKAN GOT FOR BOOSTING JOHN W. CoRSON AND THE ALASKAN KNOWS THAT TIE PRICE IT GOT FOR THE BOOST WAS MUCH GREATER THAN IT RECEIVES FOR ALL ITS REGULAR ADVERTISING FOR A MONTH, Now, the Alaskan cannot deny this. How, then, fl that paper did not sell out it's principles, can it account for receIy' ing the sum it did for what 1t terms sn "advt," which appeared only three tlmes?"
 "Only three times" and yet such a vast sum paid for it, This is aattery Indeed.
 We'll, well, since we are discovered, why, as the Record says, try conceal ment longer: Iris useless" as the "Young Sleuth" would say, Therefore forced to 1t by the tireless efforts of the boy dstective-here's for clean breast of it. We DID rather soak it to Mir, Corson's manager, 80 anxious was he tc get into our advertising columns. You see the business end of this paper Is conducted with much the same intelli' gence as distinguishes the editorial end But that this advertisement, clearly labeled as such, should be deemed by the Record such a BOOST for COrsor is certainly an unexpected tribute tC the Alaskan as su advertising medium
 The Record attributes those 2 votes for Corsou, as against l64 for Wicker, ersham) to the advertisement, Well well, perhaps so.
 But if so what becomes of the "inau, euce" Of MT. Corsou's local managers and the free hand with which money was spent outside the Alsskan's adver' Using columns? Surely the Alaskan is not to be credited with influencing the entire vote both ways for ard against Wickersham. Alas, here we enter the bewildering labyrinth of mystery agair where alone the young sleuth is at home,

II is being arranged that at several
towns between Denver and Omaha
there will be automobiles to follow the
airship, to be notified of It's flight from
time to time by telegraph. so that dur
ing the entire flight there will be an
automobile following.

fident that in his new air craft he will
not only establish a new worlds rec
ord. but will be able to reach the Mis-
souri, river.
Aeronauts throughout the world will
be interested in this flight. and it is
possible that several will come to Dem
yer to witness the start. at least. and
will arrange for following by relays in
automobiles.
