HENRY KNOOP
 IS DROWNED
WASHED OFF SCHOONER SEQ DON NEAR MOUTH OF
 YUKON RIVER.

Henry Knoop was washed over north of Point RomanOff near the mouth of the Yukon river on the eve ming of August 90 and was drowned.
 The accident occurred while the little vessel was encounterinG heavy seas. Captain IIealy and all others were in the cabin at the time of the accident which resulted from the striking of an unusually heavy wave while Knoop was on deck. The first intimation that anything had occur red came to the others when the un- fortunate man was heard to shout. Roy Davenport. of the United States marshars office who was aboard. saw him for a moment in the water beside the schooner. Captain Healy imme- diately put the boat around but noth- ing was seen of the man again except his hat and blanket which he had probably dragged overheard with him. Every effort was made but the rough ness of the sea made successful search impossible.
 Henry Knoop came from the Yu- kon camps this summer and had been staying at the Miners hotel during the past six weeks or so. He was q stranger in Nome.
 Knoop last came from Ruby.

KRAUzCUNAS
 MET TROUBLE
LATE SOCIALIST CANDIDATE
 DRAWS IRE OF AN AUDIENCE.

Throw him out was the most general and the most mild shout which greeted Kazis krauzcunas last night at Eagle Hall when at the ex- piration of the lecture delivered by Dr. DunnelIy the former candidate for congress put an insulting question to the reverend lecturer. For d time the scene was rather wild as hundreds of members of the great audience howied threatening remarks at krauzcunas. Fortunately Chairman q. J. Lomen. with splendid tact. declared the meet ing at an end and so relieved the situation.
 In the course of his lecture the reverend doctor had alluded to the immoral character of a man who had appeared as his opponent in Dawson. Mir. Krauzcunas seized this fact to declare that a priest had at one time in an Eastern state been guilty of an offence against immortality. while pr. Donnelly stated that the priest was not one in good standing.
 At this moment the audience mani tested it's anger at the late socialist candidate and ladies joined the other sex in demanding that Mir. krauz- cunas be thrown out. The action of the chair. however. came to the candi- dates rescue and the audience peace ably left the hall.
 pr. DonnelIy's lecture was carefully listened to. He bent his efforts prin- cipally to show that socialism IS atheistic and foe to the family.

'ti'AfstNf tiAt t7tNsAih railroad extending from Nome {, shelton. in the kuugarok recording district. a distance of about ninety miles, has not been operated during the present season to the great loss and disadvantage of the residents an, citizens of both Nome and the kou. garok district; and.
 Whereas. the owners of said Seward Peninsular railroad are unable to op. crate the same by reason of the ex. urbitant tax imposed by the United States government upon the operation of railroads in the district of Alaska and also by reason of strict and rigtt requirements of the interstate com merce commission, which in justic, ought not to be applicable to rail roads uf this character, and.
 Whereas, the government has mol afforded any adequate wagon roads oI trails from the city of Nome. tu tho kougarok district. and many inter mediate places. and.
 Whereas, the material development of said district has been thereby greatly retarded. and,
 Whereas, Il IS believed that the owners of said Seward Pcninsular railroad will be forced by existing conditions. to entirely abondon the future operation of said railroad, and
 Whereas. said line of railway, can by being kept in q reasonable state of repair, be used by teamstcrs and others for transporting freight and the Kougarok district. and intcrmcdi ate points. to better advantage, with more rapidity. and more economically than wagon roads if the same should be built by the government. and,
 Whereas. it has been found impos sible to build and maintain wagon which reasonable loads may be haul ed by teams in wet weather. even af- ter large sums of money. in some in- stances amounting to many thousands of dollars per mile. have been eXpend- ed in the construction of such wagon road. and it has been demonstrated that such roads are almost useless in rainy weather;
 Now, therefore. be it resolved. by the Nome Chamber of Commerce, that the government of the United States and the congress of the United States, be petitioned and requested to pur- chase said line of railway from its present owner. and to either operate the same as a railroad or lease the same to some responsible person, or corporation, under suitable restric- tions and in event it should be deem ed more advantageous the said Unit ed States government should keep said line of railroad in repair to be used by the public generally for the hauling of cars and other vehicles over it's tracks with horses or some suitable motive power.
 The above resolution was passed unanimously last night at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce which was held in the courthouse and which was attended by the leading mining men of the peninsula as well as by the leading business men of the city, all of whom entered with en- thusiasm into the work of inaugural ing the work of putting into effect the call.

 Frank Thatcher. president of the Alaska Bank and Safe Deposit Com pany, offered all his support to the effort. He believed that each and every business man should take an interest in the work from this time forward and lend all the aid in his power. Now that the federal govern ment is entering the railroad field in Alaska. the speaker believed the time was opportune.
 Ira D. Orton declared the belief that the government could come [, no loss by taking the matter up. Mir. Orton promised all the help possible while he will be outside this winter.
 Jafet Lindeberg. president of the Pioneer Mining Company. went into the subject in detail. He showed how he had operated part of the road on a lease and at some profit last year and could have done so this year but for the tax question.
 My company would have been compelled to suspend work some tim ago in some places" said Mir. Lindc berg, If We had not made use of th, railroad for horse teams"
 lie declared it impossible to make the Bessie Toad a really good "Srmd- nent one and he suggested that he government should be asked tb .ake over the railroad and place 1t under the control of the Alaska road com mission which could maintain it as a trunk wagon road or us an electric or steam railway.
 "I believe it probable" continued NIT. Iindeberg. that an interest of about per cent could be realized by the government on. say. the sum of one million dollars spent on the road This is as good an interest as could be obtained anywhere. Besides Nome is permanent camp and l firmly the capital in time. The amount os money now spent. and to be spent in the years to come, to maintain p' l,- tically useless wagon roads could be utilized to better advantage by t1l irg over the rairoad.'
