 THIS FALL
MORE RAIN THAN NEEDED
Lot of Plume is Destroyed Through the Washing Out of the Founda- dations by the Recent Heavy Downpours on the Creeks.

That one can have too much of very much to Charlie Joynt's satis- faction during the past week. All summer long he has been waiting for water with which to run the plant of the Tanana Electric company, of which he is the receiver, and there has not been sufficient for half its needs The recent deluge however. has proven altogether too much and the plant is now out of business on account of lot of the Hume being destroyed by the sluicing out of the foundations.
 All summer there has been a hoo, doc pursuing the plant. A fire at Vault destroyed much of the com pany's property, including transform CTS and much of the line Then on June 1O a flood destroyed all of the Caribou ditch On June 2 the sub station at Dome was destroyed by fire and the high tension transformer was lost Then the shortage of rain came along and the company had to run on steam, shutting down every thing with the exception of the light system. With the coming of the rains at the beginning of the month a lit tie money was in sight with the full operation of the plant and then the flood must needs come. There will q nain thic fall

BIG BUNCH FOR lDITAROD

steamer Dusty Diamond, recently purchased by Roy Rutherford, of the Independent Lumber Company, took nearly 40 passengers to the Iditarod and every ounce of freight that she could pack. She had with her the barge Iditarod and this was so well filled that quantities of freight of ferings had to be refused at the last minute.

 JOSL|N BILL
DELEGATE WICKERSHAM WILL ADVOCATE THIS MEASURE
 IN CONGRESS.
HE BELIEVES II WILL PASS
Will Also Urge Change In Mining Laws, Australian Ballot System and Some Form of Elective Territorial Legislative Government.

That he will do everything in his power to bring about the much need ed railroad legislation and the change in the mining laws on his return to Washington is the assertion of Dele gate James Wickersham. who leaves, with Mrs. Wickersham, on the SchWatka, tomorrow. He will also, he says, try to get passed a bill which will amend the election laws, and also make further fight for some sort of an elective local terri torial legislature
 So far as railroad legislation is con cerned, he says, he will advocate the passage of the Joslin bill which he introduced at the last session. He be- lieves that very slight changes will satisfactory to both the people of the territory and the administration
 The election law that applies to the territory, the Delegate would have changed to make it as nearly as possible conform to the Austral ian ballot system. With regard to the territorial government question he asserts that he will be satisfied with nothing less than an elective legislature, as he frequently has stat ed in public. To the appointive sys- tenn advocated in the Beveridge bill, his opposition will be as steadfast as ever.
 The abolition of the power of at torney and association claim, to the extent of doing away with speculative stalking, are, in the Delegates opin- ion, the most needed changes in the mining laws and these he will try to bring about.

BIG CLASS MEETS FRIDAYS
Services of the Teacher Are Being Donated In a Worthy Effort to Af- ford a Means of Study That H;th- erto Has Been Lacking

To the end that the young people of the camp may have the benefit of instruction in stenography, something that hitherto has been unattainable here, R. G. White, the secretary to Judge Overfield, is holding a weekly night school and large number have already commenced to take tuition under him. MT. White is most kind ly donating his services in this excel lent cause, without remuneration ex- cept that which comes with the satis- faction of having performed a kindly deed
 It was last Monday that the pro posal was made by Mir. White to the high school pupils that he should instruct them in shorthand and a meeting was at once held by those who wished to take advantage of the opportunity. It was decided to hold the classes on Friday nights, and last Friday there were on hand between 35 and 40 to take up the study. The system being used is a combination of the Pittman.

SOURDOUCHSH HONOR
 W|CKERSHAM
FIFTY OF THEM GATHERED TO- CIPHER TUESDAY TO TEN
 DER RESPECTS.
UNIQUE BANQUET IS HELD
Bill McPhee Arranges an Entertain ment for the Delegate Which Is Enjoyed to the Full By the Half Hundred Present.

One of the most unique banqUets ever held in Alaska was that ten dered on Tuesday evening in the old Mushon Building on Second avenue to Delegate Wickersham by some 90 old sourdoughs of the camp. It was informal, even to the extent that everybody had to shed his coat on entering the room, but it was on that account all the more enjoyed.
 Delegate Wickersham had on his right hand Sourdough Maiden, a man of 72 years of age, who has been in Alaska since 1885. On his left was Carl Douglas, of Fairbanks creek another oldtimer who has almost for gotten how things look outside. These two are believed to be the oldest white residents of the interior.
 The arrangements of the affair are to be credited to Bill McPhee, who had. as able lieutenants, Pete Bucholtz and Jeff Gear The banquet was typical of the old days and the menu was such as the woods afford. Moose heads served in gold pans were hanked with other deiicacies of a like nature. and all of them were cooked in style dear to the heart of the old prospector.
 Jim LuShbaugh was toastmaster from the time the soup was served until long after it was time to go home. Sourdough stories were told by the score and many reminis- cences were recalled by the old comrades who were present.
 Delegate Wickersham made most pleasing address, Politics were es- chewed, for there were a number present who were ranged during the campaign on the opposite side to the Delegate He said that he was going back to Washington to continue his fight for Alaska and hinted that his campaign might be laid out on more diplomatic lines that he has adopted m the past He was accorded much applause by all of his hearers.
