HEIFNER IN A
 CABINET ROLE

SEATTLE, Nov. 19.-Seattle Demo. crats and many Republicans have united in an attempt to have Wash ington State represented in President elect Wilson's cabinet.
 The man slated for place in the official family of the next President is Charles G. Heifner. late Democratic candidate for representative in Con- gress from the First Washington dis trict, Mir. Heifner, thought not elect ed, made a good campaign. He is an able man in the prime of life and has lived in Seattle for more than twenty years. He is a personal friend and a warm admirer of Governor Wilson, and managed his campaign for the Democratic nomination in this state last spring, and although Champ Clark got the state delegation, Heifner did invaluable work. The position in which his friends would place him is the office of Secretary of the Interior Of course it is not known that such an attempt is even possible, but his friends believe there is a chance.

LONDON. Nov. 19.-A dispatch to the Daily News, from Constantinople says that the Turkish governments hope of benedtting by continued re- sistance in the war with the Balkan States has been shattered by the fall of Monastir. the second city in i'm portance in European Turkey,
 The raw Turkish troops, large numbers of which were rushed out from Constantlnople to meet the in- vaders' advance have been fighting strongly, but the exhausted veterans of the earlier battles are offering iit- tie resistance.
 The Daily News correspondent adds that the negotiations for the surrender of Adrianople have met with no result, but that since the Bull garians have seized the dominating positions on the northwest the capi. tulation of the city is close at hand
 The entry of the Bulgarian army into Constantinople is still considered doubtful, however, as it is understood that Russia is protesting vigorously against it. [,

RICK CLOSE TO SHOUT

The official returns from Craig and Dolomi were received in this morn ing's mail. The former which was the most important of the unreport- ed precincts. contrary to expectations did not have a large Socialist vote, and the race between the non-parti- san and Progressive tickets was very close. Dolomi gave a decided major ity for the nou-partisau ticket in the small vote that was cast The re- turns so far as received give the fol. lowing for the respective tickets:
 Tripp. 7S9; Tanner. 9Ol; Valen- tine. ST: Le Feyre, 543; Bland. S97; Swanson. 311: Ingersol. S5S; Shoup, Glg: Stubbins. S99; Svindseth, S65; Reck. 6S1: Dawes, 5S6; olson, 616; Thomas. 596: Tveit. 315; Noland, 226; Heath. 312; Stukey, 297.
 This leaves but three unimportant precincts in the North to hear from, which will probably increase the nOn- partisan lead. These precincts are Dundas. Yakutat and Chichagof. Shoup now leads Beck by the small margin of IS votes. Craig gave the outsider Thompson 64 votes which is the only important notice taken of his campaign.

 Austria-Hungary is known to have the support of her allies in the stand she has taken, The attitude of the Powers composing the Triple Entente is not yet so clear. Russian popular feeling, however will force the Gov ernment to take the part of the Slavic States, and when Russia does SC she can count on the support of her ally, France, and of Great Britain. This Is not because they particularly care whether Servia gets all she wants or not, but because if they want Russia's help when. they are in trouble they must support her in her day of trial. The diplomats of the six great Pow CTS are keeping in the closest touch, in the hope of preventing the situa- ton from becoming any worse.
 In the meantime, about a million sol lion soldiers are scattered across the territory of European Turkey, en- gagged in one of the most deadly wars Of modern days. Even official dis. patches describe the battlefelds as strewu with corpse. Among these must be many severely wounded men who unable to move, wait in vair for the arrival of the ambulance corps, which is notoriously unable to cope with the task. The Turks possessed little or no means of caring for their wounded. and the seryians, from their own accounts, have found the great

 q was especially interested in the Indians of the Aleution Island group St. Paul and St. George being inhabit. ed with the Aleuts. The general health of the natives there is very poor Tuberculosis is the great scourge of the island. Fifty-one per cent, at least, are afflicted with this disease. The examination of ITS natives showed that 91 had the disease. Of the sick 51 were males and 37 fe- males.
 Chest troubles are very common, as bronchitis and pleurisy. PneumOn- ia is a great cause of death. Infect ious diseases would play havoc with them should they occur, as measles did in 1900, and carried away large portion of the population.
 Notes on deaths occurring in St, Paul from 1872 to 1911 show that tu- berculosis caused 1SO deaths Of these 90 per cent were of the lungs, 3 per cent of the brain, 30 per cent of the general military type, and 20 per cent of the abdomen.

A Washington dispatch to the New York World says: Unless some ways are used to check tuberculosis among the native Indians of Alaska the race will become extinct there in sixty or seventy years" said As sistaut Surgeon R. A. Eearuey, of the Public Health Service. At Sitka an accurate record hept at the Greek Church for five years and seven months showed the following results: Births, 72.2 per 1000; deaths, S5.4 per 1000. The Census Bureau shows in the last ten years a decrease in Indian population of 1la per cent This unusual mortality in Alaska is due to tuberculosis.
 Dr.. Kearney was in Alaska for the government last year, While there he studied the Indians,
 "The natives Of Southeastern Alas ka have unlimited faith in medicine, but disregard all hygienic measures" he said. "The Indian dwelling is of frame and has one large room, ac- commodating four to six families, The occupants of this room vary from a few to thirty or forty persons. No provision is made for ventilation, the inhabitants living under dirty and unsanitary conditions. The presence of tuberculosis among them makes their mode of living very bad. Their rooms are hotbeds of infection.
 The Indians contract cold and bronchitis from being carelessly clad. In the spring and summer months they leave their homes and live in tents. When winter approaches they

 According to the governor the can ncrymen want the taxes collected used for hatcheries; while under the present law one.third of the tax goes into the Alaska fund and is used for road construction and educational pur- poses.
