vvHiTEHoRSE STRIKE GOOD

Rev. w. c. Blackwell of Whitehorse. a guest at the AL askan Hotel. brings word the new strike loo miles from Whitehorse is genuine, nearly i2o claims having been staked and several taking out good pans. Rev. Blackwell says the reason the papers have not con tained much about the new eN- citement is because business men of Whitehorse organized a campaign to keep the strike a secret until the richness of the new district was establish ed.

WALTER GRAY IN

tor of the Scandinavian-A Amer ican Bank of Seattle, is a local visitor, auditing the accounts of the Miners X Merchants Bank of Ketchikan. Mir. Lar son, who is a certified public accountant, is the auditor for j. F. Chilberg president of the Scandinavian American Bank, and also auditor for Jafet Lin deberg the president of the big Pioneer Mining company of Nome.
 To the Miner Man this morn ing he said that his mission here was to make the annual audit of the accounts and af- fairs of the bank at this place, that being the system of Mes SITS. Chilberg and Lindebcrg, in all the corporations in which they are interested.
 "Ordinarily, said Mr. Lar son, "this work is done by subordinate, but this year came because l wished to see for myself the possibilities of ketchikan and Southeastern Alaska in general. Tho last time this work was done was by H. V. R. Bean, whom you will no doubt remember, who was here about four years ago.
 Il am very much impressed by the prosperity of the com- munlty as by the large depos- it's in the Miners X Merchants Bank which institution I found in excellent shape. In fact, business in Ketchikan has so increased in the last two years that we will now be compelled to increase the office force of the bank by the addition of another man.
 ''We believe in the develop- ment of Alaska in every way, and Mir. Chilberg, as president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, assisted by the Al aska Bureau of the Chamber is doing everything possible 10 advance the interests of the Territory, and while there may be a number of people in Alas ka who disagree with the Chamber as to policy to be pur- sued, there can be no question but that they are trying to do what to them appears to be the correct thing.
 Business conditions on the outside are very much improv- ed, and an era of good times and easy feeling is coming in- to existence, and the general impression is that the country is about to enter into a long period of prosperity.
 The new tariff bill did not do anything to disturb existing conditions. There is some doubt, however, as to whether the currency bill now pending, will become a law at the pres ent special session of Con- gress. A great deal, pro and con has been said about this measure by the bankers of the country, but there is no doubt it would materially assist the general business of the coun- try if it should pass, especially when man of such promin- ence in the banking world as Frank A. Vanderlip of the National City Bank of New York can see a great deal of good in the bill as it was ori- nallv drafted D

ALASKA LUMBER
 ALL RIGHT


 Jefferson from San Francisco where he has been to dispose of the ship load of Alaska spruce lumber shipped by the mill at Hadley not long ago. When seen hy the Miner Man today he stated that the lumber created quite a little excite ment among commercial firms all along the coast and in San Francisco especially. The market was very dull for clear lumber although the price re- mained very firm as there was none offered. The entire car eC was disposed of at contract price and 235.o00 feet of it will be shipped to London Eng land. While in the south he secured machinery for the new box factory at the mill and it is expected on the next trip II the LaTouche. The mill will run all winter as they have enough orders on the books to keep them busy. Special at tention will be paid to hand ling the orders for the local market from now on. The San Francisco papers and mem bers of the lumber industry in the south all unite i'll saying that this was the best cargo of lumber ever shipped out of Alaska. Mir. Foss made ar engagements for financial back ing while away and will operate on larger scale from now on.
 He will make another ship ment of clear lumber next year 
 in the event of the market im- proving any.

 Seattle. Nov. 5-The election returns from the eastern states are in and the Demo- cratS seem to have made con- siderable gains. The sovereign people of the State of New York redeemed themselves yes terdav and vindicated their de- posed governor, Wm. Sulzer, when they defeated the Tam many forces generally, and el- ected Sulzer to the assembly of the state. Mitchell, the Fu- sion candidate was elected mayor of New York city by ov- CT one hundred thousand ma jority. Tammany was over whelmingly defeated every where. and the election of Sul- ger was a complete walkaway. In Massachusetts. Walsh the Democratic was elected gover- nor. while James Fielder of the same political faith won the governorship of New Jersey by twenty thousand votes. The Democrats in Maryland elected five out of eight candidates to the state senate. thus winning control of the legislature. Hon. Charles Cody, Democrat, was elected to Congress from the Third district of Maryland. Re publicans carried the election for mayor in Philadelphia by plurality of forty five thousand votes. In Virginia the fight was tame and the state went Democratic eleeting H. Stewart governor almost unanimously. Tn New York the Republicans gained control of the Assembly by good working majority. Incomplete returns from Mary land say that State Senator Lee. a Democrat has been elected to the L. s. Senate. Cincin- natti went Republican by good majorities from every part of the city and Judge Spiegel was given the mayors chair. To- ledo voted to elect Carl Kelly Republican as mayor, while Cleveland went Democratic and reelected Mayor Baker. Tn dianapolis and Louisville both went Democratic the former el ecting Joseph Bell and the lat ter L.

In addition the Republicans gained control of the state legislature and as sembly of New York.

Want CONVENTION
FOR BIRMINGHAM
Work for Meeting of the
National Good Roads
Federation Here

Active steps are being taken to secure
the holding of the convention of the Ma
tional Good Roads federation in Birming-
ham during the potlatch celebration. This
convention will be composed of delegates
from every state in the union.
Two years ago movement was start
ed to organize an association which had
for its object the consolidation of the va
rious good roads organizations, along the
lines of the National Rivers and Harbors
convention, which is the mouthpiece Of the
advocates of rivers and harbors in the
United States. 1t is expected that the
National Good Roads federation will at
tempt to take the same place with the
good roads advocates as the rivers and
harbors convention.
The committee having charge of the af-
fairs of the National Good Roads fedora
ton Is very favorable to holding the con-
vention in Birmingham. This convention
will be great advertisement for the city.
and it may be of much help toward ad-
vertising the potlatch celebration.
The good roads committee of the
Chamber of Commerce has been called to
meet Tuesday afternoon at o'clock by
Chairman Herman Beck. when it is ex-
pected that steps will be taken by the
Chamber of Commerce to secure the meet
ing. 1t is expected that the Business
Mems league, board of trade and the JEFF
ferson County Good Roads association
will take action to assist in securing the
convention during the potlatch.
