The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-11-06

The election passed off rather
quietly in Honesdale last night and
soon after the returns began to come
in to the Citizen office showing that
Wilson was leading in most of the
states, it was generally conceded
that the Governor of New Jersey
would be elected by an overwhelm-
ing majority over Taft or Roosevelt.
There was a large crowd in front of
The Citizen office early in the even
ing, watching the results of the cleo
tion being flashed on the screen |
which was hung on the National |
Bank building across the street. AS
the dispatches were received over the
Western Union wire which was in
stalled in the office there was much
enthusiasm shown by the crowd
which had gathered. The Citizen
was equipped with a Western Union
wire direct from New York and re-
ceived dispatches until 1 o'clock
Wednesday morning. Through the
courtesy of Rev. G. S. Wendell this
paper was enabled to fash the re-
turns on the screen as soon as receiv-
ed. The office was also equipped
with two Bell phones and Citizen
phone and the returns from the AZ
districts of the county were all re-
ceived here.
Contrary to the general opinion
expressed before the election the bor-
ough of Honesdale went for Wilson,
with a lead of IL votes over Roose-
oelt. Taft received 9S in the bor-
ough.
Up to the time Of going to press
The Citizen had received returns
from 35 of the AZ election districts
in the county. The returns are not
all complete, however, and in some
cases it was impossible to get the en-
tire vote. 1t is estimated that there
were over 5000 votes cast in Wayne
county. Honesdale polled 534 votes

Ainey carried every county in thi

PERSEVERANCE FIRE DOES NOT
 ENTAIL A VERY HEAVY LOSS

shingles would not start fires in any of the other buildings, and as soon as 1t could be done both the new Granite creek water line and new Gold creek service line were brought to bear with three streams on the fire. Every effort was made to save the new compressors and power house which had just been installed. The weather was cold and several feet of snow at the mine made fire.fght. ing very difficult and inconyenient.
 Mir. Thane said, 'Tt was just one of those unfortunate things shat hap pen regardless of every precaution. Mir. Jackson with his assistants and crew did everything possible under the circumstances and I an delighted that they saved the compressors from destruction. AS far as the old mill was concerned, it was not considered thing of great importance in itself by the company and We anticipated abandoning it sooner or later. Its chief value to us was for testing pur- poses and to mill the ore from deyel. opment work. The only serious de- lay that will be caused by the fire will be the building of the expert. mental unit which we had arranged to do this winter in the old mill building. It will be impossible to put up this unit this winter because of the heavy snow fall preventing the erection of a new building to cover the machinery. None of our new ma chinery was damaged or injured with the exception of possibly the two mo- tors. One of these we may be able to save. If so, the plant will be in op. eration again in a few days and at the latest will be in operation this month. The repair work will contin- ue underground with the full mine crew until the power is on again when the shafts and raises will be started once more.
 "The men are at work this morn ing tearing down and arranging to rebuild the power house building which was partially burned and sav- ing such old machinery out of the burned building as will be useful.
 "We consider ourselves very for tunate that the whole camp was not burned out as the fire burned with great fury for some two hours with flying embers endangering the whole plant. We are indebted to Mir. Jack son and his whole crew for prompt assistance and good work"

On the Spokane last night arrived Rev. Father Sergius George Kostro- metiuoG. now rector Of St Michaers cathedral at Siuia, a dignity that was conferred upon him last month in New York by Archbishop PlatOn, head of the Russion church in Amer Flea.
 Father Kostrometinor left Sitka ,sarly last month for the purpose of being ordained to his present posi- ton. For twenty years he had been warden Of St. NEchaers cathedral at vice we'll entitle him to the new vice well entities him to the new honor that has been conferred upon him. Father Kosuometinof became an American citizen by the treaty Of 1867. and he is one of the few men now living who were present when the Russian flag was lowered at Sit. ka. and the American flag raised in its place.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-With the opening of Congress it is noticed that the number of lobbyists has decreased, over former years, but as the session has just begun, and as Congress never does much work until after the holi. daye, there is very little for the lob byists to do. except to gather up their strings preparatory to the after-the- holidays campaign.
 This being the short session, too it is not anticipated that there will be much legislation passed, although there is little probability that the flood of bills vii! be abated

The most disastrous fire in the his tory of Juneau from the point of property loss occurred last night, The 1OO-stamp mill of the Alaska-Gastineau Company on the well known Perse- verance Mine has been burned to the ground entailing a loss. however, that will be slight
 The history of this mill and the property on which it is situated has in a large measure been the history of the town of Juneau-a continual struggle to become a factor of some import
 The town of Juneau was startled a few minutes past midnight by the illumination which cast redglow over the Gastineau channel and ere ated considerable alarm among those who witnessed it. The central tele- phone station had caught the flash message to Sheep creek asking that the power be shut on on account of the mill being on fre-and this was all the information that could be ob- tained from the clamor of anxious business men.
 General Manager B. L. Thane was called up by phone; he said that the company's work would go on just the same but could give no further state ment until after an investigation.
 An Empire representative visited the scene of the disaster immediate Iy. The mill and crusher house were at this time reduced to the heavy tim her frame work of those structures all one mass of flames, casting a weird glow on the snow white background of the mountain.
 Down at the base of the hill Sup. erintendent Jackson and a crew of men were fighting like demons to save the compressor house and the costly machinery but recently installed.
 At 2:SO the blazing skeleton of the two largest structures fell with crash and burned themselves out. The men kept playing the streams on the compressor house and by O. clock had the situation in hand.
 The fire was discovered by the night mine crew just 10 minutes after 12, camp time. The blaze had great headway at this time and quickly rushed toward the crusher house up the mountain side, following the con veyor belt from the mill The fire had started in the lower part of the mill near the office and dry room. The men quickly turned out. There

SHOULD ALASKA WOMEN

c. w. Young Hardware Co. Why should not the women of Alaska be given the vote?" he said. My exper. fence and observation of this mat ter lead me to believe that they are just as much entitled to vote as those or the male persuasion. It is not question of politics. but a matter of right. The average woman is go- ing to vote right, or what they be- Iicve to be right, on all questions, They may make mistakes, but so do the most of us. If were a resident of the States don't know how would feel on this question, but as an Alaskan, and knowing the conditions here obtaining put me down as be- lieying that the territorial legislature should moke provision for voting by women"

 Mir. Nadeau said that their air com pressors which had been shipped from New York via the Tehaunte- pee so as to avoid the delay of win ter freighting across the continent and that it should reach the mine by the middle of January.

though it ic not thought that 1t will get very far this session. Legisla' tion of that kind is more than likely to be handed on to the next Con- gress.
 The lobbyists for the Alaska raii- roads who would like to have the government take over their roads either by purchase or lease, prefer ably the former. are already on the ground, but are not talking rail. roads, as yet. The railroads which are for sale or lease are the Copper River & Northwestern, running out of Cordova, and the Alaska Northern, out Of Seward, on Resurrection bay. However, as before stated, there is little likelihood of this session of Con- grees touching the question. It will be passed on to the Democratic ad. ministration, as another problem to solve.

was difficulty with the water system. Cold weather had frozen some of the hose and a man had to be sent to the penstock to turn water into the mains.
 The mill was doomed sol every eff. fort was bent to save the compres. sor house and the valuable machin- cry therein as well as the expensive motors that are needed fin the deyel- opment operations. When the fire was finally under control all of the main mill building was gode except the compressor room and the new shed annex built this year.
 The origin of the fire is unknown and but three theories were ad- yanced by men on the ground - a lighted candle left by someone in the dry room, an overloaded stove in the office and a shcrt.circpit in the electric wiring.
 The mill carried no insurance and had been written out of the books as an asset of the Alaska Gastineau Company It was to have been op, erated however when thef Salmon creek power became available largely as an experimental station and some new machinery had been installed for that purpose.
 While the physical property loss seems great to the people Of Juneau, the real loss to the Alaska Gastineau is small as the mill would have been abandoned soon for the new location at the mouth of Sheep creek. The mill will not be rebuilt,
 Manager Thames Statement.
 The fire started in the cleanup adjoining the mill where a stove was used as a dryroom for the Givn em- ployed in hoistlng the machinery in. to the mill preparatory to building the experimental unit, It started about 11:3O Juneau time, which is about 12 o'clock mine time. It had gotten quite a start inside this room before the watchman discovered 1t and gave the alarm, In a very few minutes the fire burned through into the mill proper and as there was a strong draft leading up through the mill and the conveyor belt corridor into the rock house, it created ter rife draft and the whole stamp build ing as we'll as the rock crushing plant were in flames.
 Meanwhile Supt. Jackson had got ten his whole crew out and spread them around so that the burning
