Paris. Oct. s..-The fate of the in
ternational conference as a solution of
the Balkan crisis depends upon the
answer given by Great Britain to M.
Iswolsky, Russian minister of foreign
affairs, who is proceeding to London.
France is confident that if a program
can be arranged a diplomatic way can
be found by which ustria-Hungary
will participate and that after this no
difficulties need be expected. The
main danger to the conference lies in
the possibility Of complications in the
Balkans during the delays incident to
the elaboration Of the program secur-
ing the assent of the powers.

YENTNA DISTRICT IS
 SHOWING UP WELL

The output of the Yentna and the Valdez creek districts this season will be close to $l5O, ,OOO, according to esti- mates of all late arrivals in Seward from the new diggings.
 The surprise in the Yentna district has been the discovery that some of the best gravel so far is on the bench cs, where it was least expected. The discovery was made by the Murphy party in the digging of ditches to bring water for sluicing. Some of the bench gravel has yielded as high as Sl a pan.

SHERIFF IS SEEKING
 HUSKY "FALL. GUY"

The sheriff's office is looking for a good "husky" man to act as the "fall guy" in serving papers and taking punishment in disagrceablc cases. In the last ten days three of the dcpu- ty shoriffs have been assaulted and badly treated by persons on whom they were serving writs of restitution, otherwise known as eicctment writs. Sherifr Smith yesterday expressed the hope that his working force would not be further crippled, as he now had three deputies who were resting after personal assaults.
 Yesterday Deputy J. c. Liner went to 2l2l Sixth avenue and invited F. D. Fec and wife to put their goods on the sidewalk and leave their rented home, and though armed with writ was set upon by both husband and wife and badly punished. Deputies Fred ililt and Walter Livcslcy were sent to his assistance, and the man and his wife were lodged in the coun- ty Jali on the charge of resisting an officer. Later the woman was released to attend to her household goods, which had been moved out upon the sidewalk. Shcritf Smith said ycstcr- day:
 Il notice many business houses are hiring "lall guys" and 1t looks as though we ncCucd one in this office. There Is an increasing demand for men Who are willing tO take disagree able jobs if they are well paia for il. nOtlCc that one or two OI lnC DIg .c- tall hou&va have men specially ln- gagged uC a,and for all lnu pIUtLSIs made ny customers.

SOME MODERN HISTOLOGY

The Seattle Star says: Ut is pretty generally known that these same in- tercsts, the Standard Oil crowd, have bought string of daily and weekly newspapers in Alaska. Among them are the Fairbanks News, Ketchikan Miner, Juneau Record, Skagway In tcrloper, Nome Nugget, Cordova Alaskan, and Valdez prospcctor."
 Now who has grabbed the Prospec- tors bit? If any Standard Oil dough has been poured into Valdez it slipped through like a grcasCd pig with q shaved tail and the Prospcctor never even got run for it, mOre's the pity because the Prospcctor needs the money and is looking for it all the time.
 If the other papers named have tapped Standard Oil without hunch- ing the Prospoctar they are totally lacking in fratomh spirit. We can't believe the boys would do a thing like that.
 Still il may no, bs true. The Star not only Sultrr, from strabismus but has an inrWablc Case of acute ycIlows and to ils jauudicci eye only scan- dal is visible.

 C. Hand immediately offered to place q little wager to support his contention, and the republicism in llcnncry overcome his scruples about taking easy money, and the bet was made.

FADED FROM SIGHT

The COrdOVa Alaskan ayers with out an affidavit that COrdOVa polls 9G9 republican votes. Now where do they keep them? Even on the day of the delegate election, when work on the railroad was nearly suspended to allow republicans, democrats, pOpu- lists, socialists, socialist laborit"s, prohibitionists, independence lcagucrs and other birds of passage who had happened tO drop off boat to work few days, to cast their ballots for Corson, only 776 were pollcd for the brcvct republican candidate.
 But where are these pioneer Alas kans and enthusiastic republicans now? The straw vote for president, taken just twelve weeks after the delegate election, harvested exactly Gl for Taft and l36 for all others. The returns seem to indicate that in Cor dova Corson is good deal stronger thar Taft.
 Or could it possibly be true that ninc-tcnths of those republican part isans who took day off on full pay to vote for COrson were just typical railroad hObos, who never stay moro than three months in any place, and that when the summer days were gono and the leaves began to fade they dropped away like water run ming from an open bungholc and ar rived in Seattle, Tacoma or Portland in time to vote at the November clcc- tion for anybody's candidate who paid them money to do it?

THE GOVERNORS PROCLAIM
 ALTON.

On another page is published the Thanksgiving Day proclamation is sued by Governor Hoggatt. The proclamation was received by the Prospector yesterday afternoon, too late to use. It arrived via govern mcnt cable. and was labeled "O B.. :" which means official business, and signifies that there are no charges to pay.
 It is particularly for this last stated fact that tho PrOspcctOr is thankful
 It is true that Alaskans have a great dca! for which to be thankful, but it is no: of record that many of them have anything for the possess ion of which thanks is due to Cover nor Hoggatt, unless it be in the pos session of q delegate to congress who is free from the governors influence i; had the governor selected q ,andi- date and tn,I worked against such candidate, James Wickcrsham might not have ri;, cred the field.
 The gov, rIur issues his prOclama- ton in the n,lmc ci the Administra- tion, of which he ia the premier rep rrscntativr iA Alaska. Searching onc's mcm.r! for some act of the ad- ministratium calculated To cause q thankful tr.'.ing in the bosom of d resident Oi .i!aSt;a proves a huitlcss task. About the only law ever passed tlI. brue.iy, A,lSEIn3 i5 that making it q misdcmcanor for JaFs to kill fur seal within the thrcc-milc limit. This law was by a subscrVIcnt congress passed for the benefit Of the firm that has fur seal privilege, and with no thought of Alaska. But the Japs get caught breaking IT." law, are brought to Valdez and tried, with the result that Valdez benefits tO the extent of divers and sumdry of the Realms symbols of value
 Lastly: Governor Hoggatt asks that all persons suspend their "avoca- tions.' As generally understood the word means something in which one finds pleasure aside from ones regu- lar employment; one may run q store for q livelihood, and write poetry as an aVOCatiOn. The governor means vocation, SO let us eat turkey N0vcm- bcr 26.

The members of the various commit tees have worked sasidiously toward the accomplishment of their duties, and the result is gratifying to the members of the auxiliary.
 It has been decided to postpone holding the local exhibition until af- ter the holidays, such course being deemed advisable because of several reasons, among them being the fact that tho school children have not completed their part of the exhibit The busy days consequent upon the approach of the holidaysis also rea- son for the postponement, as it is be- lieved that the exhibition will better sorve it's purpose on date when more time is at the disposal of the residents of the town.

Weather and Crops.

Sunday was bad day on the mat
uring grain, even the wind being hot
on that day. Since then the weather
has been cooling and more favorable.
There are scattering reports OF
damage from black rust in some of
the wheat fields of Hodges, and some
in Scott and Synnes. Some fields are
badly affected, and the yield and
quality poor.
Corn has ears set and Will mature
well before the time when frost US
ually comes. This will be good crop
this year.
Some little thrashing has been done
this week. Some good oats we're
thrashed on the Hollenbach farm in
Morris that went about 40 bushels to
the acre. Oats from the Ginnow farm
in Scott were light. Clyde Mclean
and Ike Staples thrashed oats and
barley in Synnes. The quality was
good and yield good. J. A. Yarger,
of Darnsn, thrashsd oats, barley and
rye. He reports the quality good, but
the yield only fair.
