In 1903 the City of Omaha elected to purchase the system of
water works operated by the Omaha Water Company and in 1906
the aPprasement instituted by the city for the purpose of determining
the price was concluded. AS the citizens of Omaha are aware, the
city has refused to complete the purchase, and the company has
brought a suit for specific performance. A review by the Supreme
Court of the United States of the decision of the Federal Circuit Court
OF Appeals establishing the validity of the appraisenent and adjudgng
that the city must take and pay for the works, will not take place for
some time. The United States Circuit Court has held that the COM
Pany could not lawfully be required to make substantial additions to
the plant after the election by the city to purchase and while proceed
ings for its contamination were under way, but that the duty of the
company in such case is merely to preserve the integrity of the works
and efficiently operate them as they stood when the election was made.
This duty the company intends fully to perform, and up to this time
has more than performed, having in the last half of 1904 and until the
goth of December of that year, when frost put an end to operations,
laid four miles of extensions, erected no less than forty-nine additional

UNION VOTE FREE
 AND INDEPENDENT

Washington, July 31-Samucl Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor, in statement is- sued today, admits that the union vote is independent and that he can not hope to accomplish anything with it outside the sphere of his per sonal influence. Gompers says that he expected to be criticised by labor because of his promise to support Mr. Bryan.
 Gompers is inferentially the head of 5000, ,000 voters and his decision to support the democra tic candidate for president was by the party leaders re ceived with much satisfaction. In face of Gompers' statement that he cannot control the labor vote, the democrats believe that the majority of the federation members will follow the lead of their president when it comes to casting ballot.

KOyUKUk DISTRICT
 REPORTS ARE TRUE

That the reports concerning the fabulous richness of the Koyukuk country do not exaggerate is at tested to by J. R. Austin, q guard at the federal jail who returned from Seattle on the Santa Clara. While in Seattle Austin saw the Olson brothers and Anderson who recently made such rich strike in the district and they confirmed previous reports, ad- hitting that they had taken out about $108, ,000 each as the result of this years cleanup. One miners bucket yielded $S,OOO
 Austin has been in the Koyukuk himself and knows the district well. He says that he was informed by the Olsons that their property on Nolan creek runs mostly in fine gold at bed rock which is very deep being on an average of 150 feet and in some places 180 feet. Heretofore the most of the gold found in the district has been coarse.
 ! The Olsons say that the country is pretty will located and that it is no place for poor man as there is little work. Provisions are high, it cost ing q man about $1, ,0OO to get into the country with enough to live on for a year, and there is no use of man going in unless he is sufficiently pro- vided with food to last him at least twelve months. Besides the Olson and Anderson claims there are sev-- eral others in the district that are showing up well.
 The Koyukuk runs into the Yukon at Nulato and the diggings are about 600 miles up the former stream. Bettles is the head of navigation for river steamers and the nearest com missioner is located at Coldfoot.
 The Olsons and Anderson are going to Sweden on visit.

HOSPITAL VISITORS
 DO NOT FIND SALL
Callers Have Message from Former Mining Partner
 of Missing Man

Mrs. A. Neicc, recently from Ka- talla and Mrs. Johnson, proprietor of tho Alameda house, are the women who called at the Valdez Hospital in quest of Oscar Sall. The call was made at the instance of Mrs. Neice who bears message to Sall from Q former mining partner now in Mexico who wrote Mrs. Neice from there. Friends of Sall had hoped that those who visited the hospital had some message for him that might have necessitated his presence at some point and that they would know where he went. Neither Mrs. Neice nors Mrs. Johnson saw Sall, however, so this hope has been abandoned.
 The foul play theory has gained considerable credencc with many of those interested in solving the mys- tery surrounding the disappearance of Sall but nothing of tangible nature is at hand. The cries for help heard by lessee Crawford and Mrs. Nelson have not been accounted for nor can anyone be found who admits having seen Sall since he was seen in front of the bowling alley shortly af- ter 7 o'clock Friday evening.

BRYAN SAYS TAFT
 |S DISSATISFIED

Lincoln, Neb., July 31-Presidential Nominee Bryan, in a statement issued today declares h!s belief that Prcs- dential Nominee Taft is very much dissatisfied with the republican plat form adopted in Chicago. The Bryan statement in effect is a repetition of the belief he impressed upon the dele gates to the democratic convention but it is more positive and goes more into detail.
 MT. Bryan among other things says that the republican leaders fear an uprising of the voters because of the abuses of public rights made possible by republican politics. He says that it is the realization of this danger that caused Mir. Taft to emphasize the necessity of substantial reforms and to regret that the republican plat form fails to make pro vision for such action.

J. Y. Ostrander, delegate from Alaska to the democratic national convention returned on the Santa Clara hopeful that the party will be successful at the coming election. Mir. Ostrander says that there is in the states strong Bryan sentiment and that even republican stalwarts do not predict a walk-over for Taft. Con- servatives of either party admit that the election will be close.
 MT. Ostrander has been away from Valdez since last March, going first to Juneau where he conducted the de- fense of Ed. Hasey. From Juneau Mir. Ostrander went to California, re- turning to the democratic convention in Juneau and then going to Denver.
 Mrs. Ostrander also returned, ac- companied by Miss Lita Crosby, who will for some time be guest of the Ostranders.

HILL ID ABANDON
 ORIENTAL TRADE

St. Paul, Aug. 3-James J. Hill, creator of the Great Northern Rail- road and the Great Northern Steam ship Company has made public an n0uncement that his companies will abandon the marine end of the Orien- tai commerce handled by the railroad. In explanation MT. Hill contents him. self with the statement that this coun- try is not ascafaring nation now days and that it is no longer profitable for American steamship companies to try and compete with the vessels of other nations
 While the decision of the Hill steam ship line to withdraw from it's Orien- tai business has created no great sur prise among those familiar with con ditions, it has caused a renewal of the concern long felt with regard to the future of the merchant marine on the Pacific. Long ago MT. Hill declared that without subsidies no steamship company can compete with foreign bottoms and particularly with the Japanese steamship companies so far as business of an international nature is concerned
 Steamship men on the Pacific are familiar with the disappointment caused MT. Hill by the failure of his gigantic steamships, the Minnesota and Dakota, to make expenses even. It is the fact that both vessels have cost the Hill companies fortune, first to construct and then to operate that enabled Mir. Hill to bear with considerable equanimity the loss q year ar so ago of the Dakota which was wrecked on clear day in the calm waters of the Japan sea.
 Mir. Hill expected to accomplish wonders in the marine transportation line when he placed in operation the two steamships, at that time among the largest vessels in the world, but they were, and are still operated out of Seattle at loss of thousands of dollars month while the Japanese liners operating between the same ports make money, as do also tramp steamships subsidized by tho coun- tries whose flags they fly.

Rich Gold Strike is Reported

Ore which assays $30, ,0OO to the ton is reported to have been found in the Mt. St. Elias country, some distance inland from Yakutat. The details of the find arc meager, but from what has been learned the strike seems to be authentic. On the last trip of the Portland, was an old, but wiry man, said once to have been an employee of the Hudson's Bay company, and it is he who, it is alleged made the marve- lous gold discovery. Passengers OH the steamer did not learn his name, or If they did they forgot 1t. The old man was accompanied by all Indian. and he boarded the Portland at Ketchikan. going ashore at Yakutat. At Ketchikan he disposed of q lump of gold and quartz for 5000. He also stated that he had vein fourteen inches thick of the picture rock, but it is not at all probable that tho en- tire vein shows q value of S3O,O00 to the ton. .-- Katalla Herald.
