LLOYD-GEORGE SAYS END
 WILL BE TRIUMPH

LONDON, Sept. 21.-chancellOr of the Exchequer David Lloyd.George, addressing meeting in Queens hall Saturday night to arouse Welsh en- thusiasm for the war said:
 Prussia has claimed the right of holding the road in Europe. Men, wo- men. children and Nations are order ed out of the way. Even Great Brit ain is ordered out of the way.
 If the old British spirit is still left in the British heath the bully will be torn from his seat.
 "They thought we could not beat them. It will not be easy to do it. It will be a long job. It will be terrible. But in the end we shall march through terror to triumph"
 Appealing to Welshmen to join the colors, the Chancellor continued:
 This struggle Is a great war for the emancipation of Europe from the thraldom of military caste, which has thrown it's shadow upon two gener- ations of men and has now plunged the world into a welter of blood"

THREE ELECTIONS
 ON NOVEMBER }

There win likely be three elections in Juneau on November 8, next. Ae- cords ag to tue rulings of court house officials two of these will be for the election of Q Delegate to Congress and for the election of members for the Territorial Legislature. These elections while held on the same day according to the two statutes proyid' ing for them will be kept entirely separate. Separate ballot boxes and tally sheets arc provided for the two elections and the ballots must be deposited separately and counted in the same manner. The third election, if called will be for the purpose of determining the question of extending the limits of the City of Juneau and taking in additional territory,
 It has been the custom for some time for the Juneau City assessor to assess much contiguous property that
 
 is not within the city limits and 1t has been the almost universal practice of the owners of property thus assess ed to voluntary pay taxes on the same, and in many instances the city gov ernment has expended money in mak' ing improvements outside the city limits, in recognition of such volun- tary contributions to the revenues of the city, but members of the council are 10th to expend large sums out side of the city in this way.
 Many of the property owners de- string to secure greater advantages from the city as we'll as voice in the city's affairs. have decided to or. ganize a movement for annexation to the city. Some of Juneaus business men are denied the right to vote in city elections because their homes are just a little beyond the city limits.

.qHUMBOLDT COMET"
 NAMED FOR LINER

SEATTLE, Sept. 1e.--Fiery symbol of wars carnage, Q great fan.tailed comet, discovered by Capt D. c. Baughman, of the Humboldt Steamship company's Alaska liner Humboldt, Is whlzzing eastward through the north urn heavens at terrific speed. Capt. aaughman first saw the comet Monday evening when the Humboldt was at ,Ketchikan. It was then visible to the naked eye. Last night to travellers on che way to the Sound 1t was visible through a telescope.
 When tho Humboldt first sighted the comet, the fiery vagrant of the skies flashed It's light from 0 point approxi- inately 30 degrees above Che horizon, west of north. Last night at the same hour 1t was due north, showing that It is speeding eastward. Capt. Baugh- man and the passengers arriving on the Humboldt agree that 1t is two thirds as large as Halley's comet on it's appearance in 1910. In honor of the vessel, the passengers named the etherlal wayfarer the Humboldt comet.
 When first detected In the skies, the comets head was many times larger than the major stars. The tail stream. ed out behind in the shape of great fan, gradually dimming off into the ether. When observed by Capt. Baugh' Baughman through the glasses last night 1t was about eight degrees above the horizon. It is travelling through space near the constellation of the Great Bear, It's position being at the right of the cup of the DIpper. = se' attle Times.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 BUYS COTTON BALE

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22. - Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson has purchased his bale of cotton in the Buy bale of cotton" movement, started in the South last week to help the cotton farmers to realize fair price for their crop. He telegraphed H. Y. Me Cord. head of the movement in Geor- gia, to buy him Eale at ten cents a pound, and draw on him for the mon ey-$5O.
 "This movement means more than the purchasing and holding of cotton until the price goes to ten cents a pound or more," said Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. "The Southern peo- pie will carry 1t further by curtailing the cotton arregae about one half next year, and putting food crops in it's place"

WINS
. in w. VA. COURT
Suit Over Valuable Coal Proper
ty, Long in Litigation, Settled
at Last.

The Supreme Court of West Vir-
ginia on the 18th inst, handed down
u decision in the case of w. A. La
throp VS.. Southwest Virginia Trust
Company, of Roanoke, Va, affirming
the decree of the Circuit Court of Nc
Dowcll County, which was in favor of
w. A. Lathrop.
This case has attracted n great deal
of attention throughout the Pocahon-
tas coal field on account of the promi-
nence of Mr.. Lathrop, who is also well
and favorably known and remembered
IN this section, having been the first
superintendent of the coal mines at
Pocahontas, where he constructed tho
original plant i'll abou the year 1882,
ana also on account of the value Of
the property involved in the litiga-
tion.
In the year 1908 Mr.. Lathrop en-
tered into contract with tho South
west Virginia Trust Company of Roa-
noke, for the purchase of this prop
erty at II price of $4,000, knowing
mt the time that he would have to
spend $4,000 to construct branch
line of railroad to reach it. After the
purchase of the property, the Trust
Company refused to convey il to Mr..
Lathrop, and he brought this suit.
Early III 1909, Col. Edward O'Toole
and Mr.. Howard N. Evanston, repre-
senting the Central Pocahontas Coal
Company, entered into negotiations
with MIR. Lnthrop to purchase his con-
which Mr.. Luthrop refused. Tho par
ties representing the Central Poca-
hontas Coal Company then obtained

900. These parties were then made
parties to the suit brought by Mr..
l.athrop.
While this suit has been pending
for six years, the property has been
constantly increasing III value. The
railroad company ut it's own expense,
has built II railroad through IL, and
the Appalachian Power Company has
extended its power line through it,
80 that the property is now worth ut
least 100000.
by the decree of the court, Mr.. LII
throp's estate, he having died in the
meantime, is only required to pay the
original price of $4,000 without in
tcrest.
This suit has been vigorously con-
tested at every stage, and the parties
representing the interests against Mr..
Lnthrop had eleven of the best law
ycrs OF West Virginia and Virginia
TO represent them. The case has been
in the Circuit Court Of Mcdowell
county twice, in the Supreme Court
of West Virginia twice, and in the
United States Court.
Mr.. Lathrop was represented by
Mr.. George w. st. Clair, Of Tazewell,

associated with him Judge Joseph M.

Lindon w. Bates, ice-chairman of

upon the generosity of the Southern

"fn my opinion not since the civil

pie of the South. The sufferings dur

and make them understand precisely
the situation of the people of Bel
