SOLID FRONT NEEDED.
SEATTLE. Oct 10-In the opin.
ion OF Congressman William + Hum
phrey, of this state. who arrived here
today from the national capital sue.
cess for the Alaska railroad bill
lies in the united support of the Pa,
"itic coast delegations. Congress
man Humphrey says that there is
much oppos tion TO the measure and
that the failure of any one of the
several Western delegations to sup
port it would greatly lessen its
chances of passage during the com.
ing session of congress He referred
particularly to the Washington dele.
cation, declaring that opposition from
that souuce would prove a seri.
Gus menace TO the bill.
With the several delegations pre-.
senting a solid front. Humphrey
SAYS there is reason to believe that
favorable action can be secured dur.
ing the December session.

ORDER PREVAILS

STORM is OVER.
NOME. Oct. S.-After four days Of
constant blowing. the wind has sub
sided and the sea has settled back
within its natural bounds leaving
the beach strewn for m hes with the
wreckage of the buildings and small
boats which We're demolished by the
Unprecedented ga e. A conservative
estimate of the damage places the
loss at considerably more than ST.
100000, the major portion of which
amount was invested in buildings
which were completely demolished
and many Of them washed away by
the heavy seas.
The loss cf provisions may cause
shortage in certain lines before the
winter is over, but there will be no
suffering. as the camp is still fairly
we'll stocked with food and clothing,
and there is ample shelter for the
present needs of those who lost their
homes.
Many of the merchants already
have begun rebuilding and carpenters
are at premium. Before winter
has actually set in, it is expected
that much of the damage will have
been repaired. although it Will be a
long time before the sufferers have
fully recovered from their severe
losses.
