OPERATORS STIRRED
 BY PROPOSED RATES
Understood They Will Make Hard Fight On Railroads
 Before Submitting

Being face to face with the warmest fight ever encountered here, it is stated that the railroads of the district are will ing to mediate on the proposition of in- croasing coal rates in this section. It is stated that political minds of the Coal Operators association have been work ing on the proposed rate increases. It is stated that some few mild hints have been given the railroads to the broad, general effect that if the lines insist on the rate case being heard, some aston ishing discriminatory rates will be offered as evidence which will. it is believed. se- riously embarrass some of the common carriers of this district.
 The lines have applied for rates which, it is claimed, if granted, will completely finish Birmingham as a coal district II is said the rates if granted will stop this district from selling coal without the borders of Alabama. and in some in- stances it is said the rates would pre- vent Birmingham coal from being sold in this state at a profit. It is even stated that foreign coal would be placed in Birmingham and sold cheaper than the local producers could afford to mine and sell it.
 The proposition of increasing the rates has stirred up the greatest indignation among the coal producers. They are slow to talk publicly. for they depend upon the railroads for cars and other service. And if they spoke independently the railroads would have a way of retaliating It is therefore difficult to get freely spoken opinions. 1t is stated, however, that if the efforts to mediate the question are fruitless some of the operators have sharpened axes in waiting which will be wielded without mercy, and which it is said will cause some degree of worry on the part of the railroad rate makers.
 All the operators hope that comprS- mise will be reached

ATTACK CARBUNCLE
 FROM NEW ANGLE
Property Owners In Vicinity Think
 Twenty-first Street Will Not
 Come Into Its Own While
 Jail Remains
By CLYDE W. ENNIS

Acting for men representing much valu- able property, w. N. Malone yesterday asked the county board of revenue for an option on the county jail property.
 That communication was the first for maj step in the negotiations which were stated as being under way in The Age Herald Sunday morning. The letter of Mir. Malone sent yesterday, did not mention any name of person or persons assisting in the work of removing the "carbuncle' from Twenty-first street. He said in his note that the business men and property owners were very anxious to make of Twenty y-first street retail and attractive street and it was suggested that so long as the "carbuncle" remained with it's de- pressing shadow over that locality such an ambition would be defea ted. or at least not attained in the fullest measure.
 The members of the board of reve- nue so far as known have not indicated whether they will reject the proposition and decline to give an option or whether they will cooperate in the movement and negotiate for the sale or the property. It is stated that the value of the land is close about $50 GOO

VAR DEADLOCK PREDICTED
 BY HERIIlAnJtf. BIDDER

NEW YORK, Sept 10.- Hermann Rid der the editor of the Staats Zeitung the well known German newspaper, predicts that the war will end in a deadlock, and says to attempt to capture Paris is fcIly. He says:
 "To take Paris. in my estimation, is to attempt the impossible. It ls too well forti- fed 1t cannot he surrounded except by a million men, and Germany cannot afford such an army to undertake siege operations that would last year or longer. The lines of ChataliJa were no stronger than the defenscs of Paris. On the other hand, Ger many could indefinitely hold the frontier aga.n:t the assaults of tAe French &rnles, Deadlock is the only answer to the clash of the nations They will tni themselves each secure behind their own lines

TWO ELECTIONS TO BE
 HELD ON NOVEMBER }
iLuneau Empire. September ID

'" ttl-tN i1liHtiNt A'N k''N'''">A
 The officials of the First judicial division have decided that there will be two elections in Alaska on the Sd of next November one for the election of a delegate to con gress and one for election of members of the territorial legislature and that two tickets and two ballots must be used.
 The question Is one that has been veXing the oficiaIS for some time. While 1t Is believed that the legislature intended that there should be one election, with one ticket end one ballot box, the wording of the statute was such that it worried those who had to act under it, and in the First dlvi- sion the final decision was as stated.
 The same election officers and polling places will be used and the same hours ob- served for both elections.
 Clerk of the Court J. W. Bell issued d circular letter of instructions to election of hcers yesterday setting forth the cOnstruC- ton of the statute. The letter says;
 The provisions of the acts of congress of Nay 7, 1906, and August 2t, 1912, provide for two elections one for delegate to con gres> and one for the territorial legislature.
 "It will be necessary to provide two ballot boxes, one to he marked Delegate and one to be marked Legislature
 Separate tally sheets and certificates of results shauId be returned for Ire delegate an dleSi>laturc"
 It is further held by Clerk of the Court Bell that if ballot containing a vote for delegate anti legislative candidates is put iii the delegate baN only the vote for delegate will be courtea and if ballot containing votes fer inc delegate and legislative candl- dates Is put in the legislature box only the legislative ballot will be counted.

 I'REIGH'[' BILL,
(Ruby Record Citizen, September 26)


 Ii Is generGlly known throughout this district and other sections that the citizens of Ruby short time ago formed the Ruby Development Company with the prime ob ;Cct of purchasing drill to assist in pros pecting creeks adjacent to Ruby, thus de veloping the camp as we'll as encouraging and assisting the individual proSpectors of limited means. The organization was per fected; about fortv-five citizens contributed each one cheerfuily advancing whatever his means would allow The drill was bought at Nome Sam Taggart of the Pacific Cold Storage Company and Walter Johnson of the Union Construction Company kindly volunteering their services to act for the Ruby citizens at that place. A fine outfit with many extra breakable parts, was SC cured al very reasonable figure, and the drill was shipped, arriving her Sunday last by the Sarah.
 In due time the board of directors of the RIby Development Company was notified by the agent of the White Pass company that said Keystone drill had arrived and was ready to be turned over to said develop ment company as soon as the freight bill from Nome to Ruby was paid, which bill was only SS0S75. The directors it is said staggered just a little when this announce ment was made, but as the entire camp is staggering under the same load, they de cided to pay this bill to the robber baran2 as the drill must be had In doing so however they appeal to every citizen who has advanced dollar in this cooperative enterprise, to every man, woman and child who has the interest of this camp at heart apd to every Alaskan of the Interior and all their friends on the coast and Outside to swear vengeance on this transportation monopoly, as the White Pass company or any other name and make a VOW to force this barnacle on progress this octopus of i tie Yukon to retire with its boats where

But Mir Pringle is 3 firm be laver in the merits of the fluid which he di>uclses to the residents of the city, and which is procured from his famous well on the river bank, and he declined the invita- ton.
