SEATTLE, Aug. 17.-Secretary
Lane now visiting here says that if
the government can spend four hum
dred millions building Panama
canal it can afford to spend forty
millions developing Alaska. He
favors government railroads which
would form complete system
throughout the vast territory Of the
north, not only tapping the coal
fields but the agricultural and graz
ing lands as well. He says that he
has every faith that his boy will see
Alaska with a population of from
six to ten million people.
Lane gave this statement to the
papers, and he is receiving in return
generous boosts as the friend OF
Alaska and a man who has been
urgently needed in Office for many
years.
Lane believes that there is no
doubt that the present session will

IDITAROD CITY, Aug. 17.-Mrs.
Frank Snyder nee Nina Ferguson
and formerly of Nome and Ophir
creek died on August IA and was
buried at this city this afternoon
under the auspices of the two camps
of the Arctic Brotherhood. The
death was due to child birth, the
babe being also dead. The funeral
was the largest ever held here, and
the floral decorations. all of native
flowers were wonderfully beautiful.
Mrs. George Phillips formerly of
Fairbanks gave birth to a son on
August 13; both are doing fine.
The dry weather still continues;
in many places the district is aban-
doned for the season. The river is
the lowest seen in years, and 1t
looks like several hundred tons OF
merchandise cannot be landed this
fall.

LYNNVILLE, Mass, Aug. II =
Governor Foss who himself was a
democratic candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination at the last con-
vention, announces the fact that he
is again a republican"
He accompanies this startling an
nouncement with the declaration
that the country needs an early re-
turn of the republican party to pow
er if the disaster that the country is
now rapidly approaching is to be at
all diverted. Nothing but ruin
awaits the industrial interests of the
country following the radical poll
cies of the democratic party in con-
gress and the worse than radical
tendencies of President Wilson.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-
Under cross examination the War
rington girl yielded every secret of
her adventures to the defendants
lawyers in the Digs and Caminetti
trials. They forced the pretty girl
to confess to the most delicate in
cidents in the Reno escapades in
the most merciless fashion, and they
dragged from her the smallest de-
tails of her relations with the man
who is charged with violating the
Mann white slave act. 1t was quite
apparent that Miss Warrington her
self, upon seeing that Diggs was
determined upon open confession in
the hope of saving his hide, had
steeled her nerves to tell everything.
She answered for hours the most
pointed questions thrust at her by
counsel. She confessed that she
took many trips with Diggs, drank
booze, took wine dinners in fash

GOVERNOR STRONG GREETED
BY very LARGE CROWD

Shushana strike, and many were
stampeding from the various points.
He expressed his appreciation Of
the way he had been everywhere
treated, and it had been very en-
joyable throughout. Apparently the
Governor is not at all the worse for
the work of his trip. He stated that
he had expected to start at an
earlier date, but work following the
termination of the Alaska legislature
had detained him.
He mentioned, by the way, that in
a test case the new poll tax law
passed by the Alaska legislature had
been upheld by Judge Brown at
Juneau.

On Saturday afternoon when the
Victoria dropped anchor, the Nome
brass band marched to Barrack
square where a large crowd had as
sembled to meet Governor Strong
who arrived on the steamer from St.
Mikes. The Pioneers of Alaska
were conspicuous by their presence,
and it is worthy of note that the
Governor himself wore the badge of
the order in his coat. They lined
the way up to Front street and the
Governor and his party passed up
the lines, and through a trying or
deal of hand shaking from the old
timers. The crowd cheered when

of casualties among the strikers in
their battle with the militia. The

troubles, and the outbreak in the
two towns close to this city may
now be regarded as over. During
the rioting last night in the first
clash with the militia, the officers
threatened tc open fire with maxims
and this threat had the result of
causing the rioters to dispense. The
commander says that he

the attention of the Governor, and
the reception committee has arrang-
ed for a reception and dance in the
Eagle hall on Monday night.
The Pioneers will give a smoker
to the Governor whereat none but
members of the order will be
present, and other functions have
also been arranged. He will accord
ing to present arrangements leave

To a representative of the Indus

that his trip down the Yukon
