While there is 10 definite inform ation regarding the installation of another dredge oil Flat creek this year, it is asserted that the Yukon Geld Company practically has de cided 10 bring in dredge i'll the fall, in time to get it up to ldl'arod on the high water, without the ex- pense of lranshipment at Dlkeman. The transportation cost ot the dredge now operating on Flat creek is said 10 have been almost prohibitive, owing to the difficulties encountered in bringing up the heavy parts from Dlkeman on the low water which prevailed last ~ummer, If the plan to bring i'll he dredge in the fall Is proceeded with it probably will be taken out to Flat over the winter trail.

TWISTING THE rIcEn,s rAlI..

Tammany has not been recognized
Ivy Woodrow Wilson: ii has been re-
pudiatcd by him. That sinister po-
lltical organization which is u liabil-
ity and not an asset of the Democratic
party cannot point to a single noml
nation to office by the Wilson admins
tration that In any sense can be con-
sidered a recognition of Murphy and
his machine. The appointment Of J ohm
Purroy Mitchell as Collector of the
Port OF New York is a direct declara-
TO the boss Of New York who silently
exertcd his every energy to compass
the downfall OF the New Jersey school
master in the battle at Baltimore.
The Mitchell appointment is an UNI
equivocal reputation OF Murphy by
the Democratic administration. 1t is
a direct rebuke to Tammany as the
political organization controlled by
Murphy. 1t is equivalent to n decla-
ration that President Wilson is on the
side of good government in New York
The New York City campaign next
fall will be influenced by the admins
tration's course. 1t will carry weight
in the struggle for direct primaries in
the extra session of the Legislature
called by Governor Sulzer. Drastic
reformation in party organization in
both the city and the State will re-
suit if the policy is continued at Wash
ington. Even Tammany will not long
follow n boss boycotted both by a
Democratic President and n Demo
cratic Governor" the World says.
The Office OF Collector of the Port of
New York is the most important Fed
cral position in New York. II is TO be

is one of continuous opposition to
Charles +. Murphy and the things that
he represents In government. In New
