 MISGUIDED MEN
Gompers, Before Congressional Committee, Says Employers
 as Much Blame as Men.

Washington, b. c., Jan. 7.-- Samuel Gompers appeared before the Judiciary Committee, favor ing the Clayton anti-injunction bill. In the course of his re- marks to the committee, he said that employers were as much to blame for the present condition existing between labor and en- ployers as the men who partici- pated in the dynamite outrages and that, notwithstanding labor feels the censure which natural ly falls upon it by reason of the dynamite Outrages carried on by tho structural iron workers, we must bear our burden and must of necessity give a helping hand to the convicted men and our or ganization.'

FOUR FA|RBANKERS
 ON THE SUMMIT
Forced to Take Shelter in Relief cahin--Mclntosh Drivers Talk
 ing Food to Relief Station.

Word was received by Robert Mcintosh this morning that four passengers were storm bound on the summit, and that they had r turned to the relief station built by Lieut.. Prosser and Col. Richardson last fall, and that they would need food supplies. Two of the drivers had returned to Ptarmigan Drop for food and had left again for the relief cabin with supplies.
 The cabin is stocked with plen- ty of fuel and there is no dan ger that the people will freeze.
 It is not known in Valdez who the persons are at the cabin, but it is presumed that they are the four passengers coming out with Ringham. or else they are the Mcintosh passengers. In either event Mr. Mcintosh has ordered that every effort be made to re- lieve them.
 Mr. Mcintosh received tele- Eram from WOrtmans late this afternoon saying that the party who took refuge in the relief cab in on the summit. are safe al |thc roadhOuSe and will reach Valdez tomorrow.

HEAVY STORM AT SAN DIEGO
Seven Lives and Many Small Craft Go to the Bottom During Pre-
 vaience of High Gales.

san Diego, Cal, Jan. 1.-The severest storm in years has pass ed over this section, playing hav- oc with the small craft, driving many of the smaller boats ashore, Seven lives are known to have beeM lost, including that of lm- migration Inspector Gus T. Jones' Daniel Kuykendal and Engineer Gormelatti, of the inspectors launch, which foundered in the storm. Life savers worked for twelve hours in a fruitless en- deavor to rescue those on the launch, but were repeatedly driv- en back by the gale. During the progress of the storm the wealth ar was bitterly cold.
 The damage wrought is esti- mated to be in the thousands of dollars, as many expensive pleas ure craft went down in the storm. The fishing fleet is practically wiped out.

ORANGE CROP |S TOTAL LOSS
Extreme Low Temperature Has Caused a Total Loss of Cali
 fornia's Orange Crop.

Los Angeles, Jan. 1.-The OF ange and lemon crop of all South ern California is a total loss Ow- ing to heavy frost which has prevailed throughout this sec tion The temperature went down to 22 above zero, the lowest n the history of the country since the advent of the white man.
 Although due notice of the cold wave was given by the weather bureau, yet the use of smudge pots through the orchards was unavailing, as the cold was toe severe to be guarded against. The loss will be very severe on the growers, as there has not been normal crop in the orange belt within the past four years.
 Ice formed on the streets oi Santa Barbara, a situation never before known.

FRANK WASKEY
 AT GOOD NEWS

When Frank Waskey was leav- ing Bethel to come to Nome he met men who were going up Eek river on a stampede, caused by the report of gold find up there.
 Among those met were Kroehle, Dutch Smith, Mcdonald and oth- CTS we'll known in the Iditarod country. They believed that pret- ty fair pay had been found.
 Mr. Waskey has some mining ground in view himself down around Good News bay at pres cnt, and seems to think that sev- eral little finds are sure all over that country. He is also angag- ed in fishing and trading, and will leave as soon as possible on his return trip.--Nome Nugget.

ROAD OPEN SOON
 SAYS AGENT TRACY
Three Rotaries Working to Clear Track--No Mail Has Left
 cordova Since the 24th.

F. B. Tracy, the general agent of the Alaska Steamship com- pany and the Cordova railroad, is round trip passenger on the Northwestern, and in speaking Of the blockade on the Cordova road he says:
 i've have been working to op- en the line from the coast since the storm the day before Christ mas, but to date have not suc- ceeded, but feel sure that anoth- or two days will see the line open and the accumulated mail will be rushed through The rotary was To leave COrdova this morning with batch of mail.
 "The last mail from Chitina left there on the 23rd of Deccm- bcr and the last mail from Cor dova left on the 2ith. Since that time no mail has gone either way and no effort is being made to pack the mail as We did last year.
 "The cause of the delay was a snow slide at mile 98, causing the blockade on the line. The rotary at mile 10l soon ran out of fuel oil and we hauled oil on hand sleds from 98 to tOi. We now have three rotaries working to clear the line.
 "Supt. Geigcr is one of the best railroad men in America and if he can't clear the line no one can. feel sure that when the Northwestern returns to Cordova the line will be open."
 In answer to the question as 10 why the officials of the line peddled to the passengers that the line would be open in few hours, when they knew it would require days at the best to open the lime. he said:
 "We have made no effort tn hold passengers at Cordova. We have told them the facts as we knew them. and if they care to wait they can, and if not we can not help it. We know we are up against a hard deal when buck ing nature, but will do our best to keep the line open and take the mail and passengers through. No more no man can do, and we have not nor do we intend to mis- represent the condition on the rnad.'

TRYING THE TRAIL
 WITH AUTOMOBILE.
A Successful Start Made Froaa Dawson With a Loco-
 mobile.

The most SucccSSIul start yet made in the attempt to negotiate the overland trail between Daw- son and Whitehorse was made this morning by C. A. Thomas, resident manager of the Yukon Gold company, ill the four seat Locomobile gasoline car. MT. Thomas got away at 3 o'clock, accompanied by Commissioner George Black, as specially in vited guest. George Potter is aboard as chauffeur, but MT. Thomas was at the wheel at the start, and planned [" do most of the driving. '~@"
 The start was made quietly, and with the hopes of making the test without anyone getting the news until the machine reached Yukon Crossing, but be- fore thc car was out of town many were discussing the scheme in restaurants and resorts, and on the streets today the venture was the theme of the day.
 Telephone messages from the Forks state that the car passed there at i:O5 o'clock this morn ing, making the run of li miles in little more than an hour. A later message stated that arriv- als from Quartz creek met the car at that point two hours af- ter it left the Forks. Quartz is |15 miles beyond the Forks, and the run was made in two hours. This made the total run of 29 miles from Dawson in about three hours.
 The heaviest climb on the route has been passed, according to common reports, but the rough est part of the trail is to be en- cOuntered. The newest and nat urally toughest part is along the stretch from Indian to a point beyond Scr"ggir. Emil Forrest. who started over the trail by stage several days ago. to bring back the Boyle machine from Whitchorse. was called back from pelly when the Boyle car broke down. Emil arrived here last ev- ening. lHe believes an auto can get over the trail, but believes it will find the rough spots on Black Hills and at some points south of Stewart river quite try ing on the car, and that the car will have to proceed there under low gear and that carrying heavy loads of passengers would not be advisable as yet. He believes that in another season. with improve mrntS to the trail in way of re- tno>al of rough places here and lhA.c and the cutting down of ru'nerouS little grades and few long ones. will afford Dawson a good overland trail He hopes to see the practicability of autoi"g on the Trail demonstrated this winter. and regular traffic eStah- lishrd at least by another winter. --DaWSnn News.

LET YOUR LIcar so SHINE.

once heard a lecture by Colonel
Robert G. Ingersoll. the agnostic. in
which he likened reason to a candle
in the brain.
Frequently throughout his discourse
he made effective use Of the phrase:
LET the little fame burn" O
Character Is also a fame that is be.
held by those about US.
With some this fame burns high
enough to be seen by a whole world
with others by an entire nation: with
still others, and these are the vast
majority. it is beheld only by their
own communities.
With all. however. the fame Of their
character Is visible to somebody.
This light has an influence on all
who behold It.
This Is but another way to say that
we live not to ourselves alone.
And 1t Is just as important relatively
that the flame seen by a hundred be
kept bright and shining as that wit
messed by thousands or millions.
Some Of these character candles burn
redly and with much smoke; some
sputter and flicker unevenly: some are
blown this way and that by the winds
Of opinion: some are almost smothered
by appetites and passions. and some
burn steadily with n clear. white light
To soul struggling in darkness the
rays shed abroad by the good character
Of another are as welcome as the light

the sake of others let us see that the
CLEAN is not clouded and that It Is
far shining.

THE PEOPLES PULPIT.

The country press Of America Is the
peoples pulpit.
1t has more influence in shaping the
thought of the nation than any other
single factor.
1t has more influence than the city
press because of the widespread be-
lief that the city press is controlled by
special interests.
Yet the average country editor gets
less return for the labor and ability
expended than any other class of the
population. schoolteachers and minis

1t supports the moral standard OF

The Navy Of India,

The history Of the Indian navy goes
back as far as 1913, when the East
India company formed at Surat, the
first English settlement on the western
coast. a squadron to protect its com.
merce from Indian pirates and COM
peting Portuguese traders. The naval
establishment was put on perma-
nent footing in 1915, removed to Bonn
bay in 1869 and attained respectable
dimensions by the end Of the seven
teenth century. The development of
the Bombay dockyard in the eight
zenith century Is connected with the
rise Of a family of Parsee shipbuild-
ers. headed by the famous Jamsetjee
Momanjee. They built not only for
the Bombay marine, as it was then
called, but also ships of the line and
frigates for the royal navy. and We're
formidable rivals Of the great English
builders. Until 1887 the head builders
In the Bombay government dockyard
were Parsees No large ships were
built after 1910, and the Indian navy
came to an end in 1S63.-Westminster
