FRANK WASKEY
 GOING OUTSIDE

Frank H. Waskey, prominent in the mining history of Nome and dis tinguished as Alaska's first delegate to congress. is in Idtarod on his way to Seward and the Outside.
 Ir. Waskey was an early stampeder to the Aralik river, Kuskokwim bay, last summer, when the excitement al what was erroneously called Good News bay broke out. He thinks prospecting in that region may disclose ground that will pay 10 work on q large scale, and will return there after the opening of navigation. But he thinks there are no inducements whatever to look for high-grade propositions.
 Mir. Waskey left the AIilile in OctO- Der intending 10 go over to the Yukon, but got switched of on stampede to Nelson Island, where he looked in vain for quite while for indications of g golden paystreak.
 Next he visited his partner, R. J. Ne.us, at Scammon bay. Mir. Negus at one time was a Western newspaper man, being prominent in that lire at Denver and San Francisco. Just now his thoughts are running nightly to dogs, and he and Mir. Waskey devoted most of the latter's visit to perfecting Il scheme for propagaling the Rusty Gold strain of malamute hounds, from which they confidently expect to de- velop the finest racing dogs in the world. It was through association with Negus and Waskey that E. Coke Hill acquired the wonderful store of dog knowledge that brought him in Idita- rod prize money this winter
 Mir. Waskey says Chris Betsch has a fine trading post and is making money at Russian Mission. In the early days Betsch was gatekeeper 10 Tom OBri- ems famous tollbridee across the Klon- diae, but chucked up the job and hit the trail when news of the great Nomo strike reached Dawson.
 A party of natives were expecting to leave Shageluk Village, thirty miles below Holcachaket, for Iditarod. Two woodchoppers and George Turner, the trader, are the only white men now at Ho!cachaket
 Mir Waskey will depart for Seward tomorrow or next day.

A WIRELESS
POST At CAPE RACE
Navy Department Urges Intsrna-
tiOnal Station with Track
master in Charge.

As result OF the Titanic disaster II
developed last night that the Navy De-
partment viii promptly inaugurate a
movement to obtain authority from Con-
gress and by an international agreement
with Great Britain TO establish an inter
national station at Cape Race. In charge
OF a trackmaster.
Il is proposed to have installed at Cape
Race a high-power wireless station for
the receipt OF reports of icebergs and
other menaces TO navigation. TO be for
warded from that point to all ships at
sea, and to the navy photographic once
for publication to the maritime world
The Navy Department has had this
plan under consideration for some time.
but has made no progress with u. partly
owing to the fight that has been made
against the Photographic ONCE in Con-
gress and by the United States Weather
Bureau. The Weather Bureau has en-
deavored TO assume the duties OF the
Photographic once In providing this In
formation TO the maritime service. and
has endeavored TO gain authority for
the establishment Of a Weather Bureau
signal station at either Cape Sable or
Cape Race.
1t is probable that a recommendation
for the establishment of the wireless

win be taken up by the President with

ROOSEVELT OPENS
TOUR OF NEBRASKA
Makes Attack on Senators Lorimer
and Penrose Before Big
Crowds at Hastings.

Hastings, Nebr., April 1.-THE advent
of Col Roosevelt in the Nebraska cam
paign here to-day was signalized by
large crowds and wild acclaim. The ex-
Presidents special train was hauled into
Hastings before daybreak. A crowd of
500 persons trooped down, awaiting the
coloners appearance. After breakfast the
ex-President went 70 the Kerr Opera
House.
I'VE are fighting in this campaign for
the. principles Abraham Lincoln advo-
cad. and on them we are going to win, :"
declared Roosevelt. It's the live wires
that count in this campaign. You see
Senator Lorimer, for instance. is against
Tweed, but Tweed's dead. Lorimer does
not stand for anything good"
Roosevelt referred to the Illinois result
and explained:
I'VE got all but one delegate there.
We got every one but one that Mr..
Lorimer carried in his pocket. Nobody
could deliver anything for Lorimer.
Then we came to Pennsylvania. We got
sixty-eight of the seyenty-six. Immedi-
ately Mr.. Penrose went to sleep, and I
haven't heard of him since.
81 have telegram to-day from a po-
Iitical writer in Washington who says
pathetically that Mr.. Lorimer was really
not for Mr.. Taft, and Mr.. Taft was not
really for Mr.. Lorimer in the Illinois
fight. Mr.. Taft never told any one until
after the result that he was against Mr..
Lorimer.
Now, I was against Mr.. Lorimer
eight months ago, when I refused to sit
beside him at the Hamilton Club in Chi
cago. Every member of the Senate who
voted for Mr.. Lorimer is heartily sup
porting Mr.. Taft"
