Col. Roosevelt's visit with President
Wilson was perhaps of greater inter-
est to the public than any other event
Of the day. The President and his
predecessor spent more than half an
hour together and talked of most ev-
erything except politics. good deal
of the time was put in at telling
stories.
Greets Old Attaches
When the Colonel arrived at the ex-
ecutive mansion he leaped out OF his
automobile with his old time vigor and
walked quickly into the White House,
where the President was awaiting to
receive him in the Red room. The
former President greeted warmly
Jimmy" Sloan, a secret service man,
and other White House attaches who
served during his administrations.
I'm very glad to see you,' said the
President, as he shook hands with Mr..
Roosevelt
Miss Belle Hagner, social secretary at
the White House, who occupied SIM
liar position during the Roosevelt admin
istration, and Secretary Tumulty also
were present. After the exchange OF
greetings the President led the way to
the south portico of the White House.
where the cool breezes made more bear
able the extreme heat There Lemonade
was served by Miss Hagner and the two
men sat down for a long talk.
Greatly Enjoy Meeting
Speaking of travel, books and telling
stories, the two men seemed to enjoy,
their meeting greatly. All controversial
subjects were avoided, but the colonel
himself mentioned the River of Doubt
which he discovered in Brazil and joked
over the controversy over 1t.
AS he arose to leave, Mr.. Roosevelt in
quired about the health of Mrs. Wilson,
who is confined to her room, and the
President asked particularly that the col
onel convey congratulations to Kermit
Roosevelt, who is to be married next
month in Madrid Then they shook
hands warmly and Col. Roosevelt walked
quickly to his waiting machine.
A crowd of several hundred people had
gathered inside the White House grounds
and as Col. Roosevelt appeared there
was burst of hand-clapping. 1T was
very pleasant social visit" said Col.
Roosevelt after il was over.
On his arrival in Washington Col.
Roosevelt went first to the Smithsonian
Institute. 1t was his first glimpse of
the game he shot in Africa since it had
been mounted As soon as he entered the
building he caught sight of a huge rhi-
noceros in a glass case.
II shot him." he exclaimed. 1T was
rather a close call. too. Kermit said
Wait minute dad. till ] take his pic
ture' The rhino, rushing at us head
down. I've got to shoot, protested, but
Kermit got his picture and then / got the
rhno."
From the museum Col. Roosevelt went
to the home of Senator Lodge for talk
with the senator and the British, French
and Spanish ambassadors. Then he at
tended a dinner given by President Gill
bert H Grosvencr of the National Geo.

gram.

said we might have traversed the
river Tapajose or the river Madeira,
but the fact is that some of our party
went down one river and some went
down the other, while We went down
a river in between them which no
mapmaker ever saw. l can direct any
man where to find this river and rtv-
ers stay put, so that the discovery we
have made may be verified.
The Colonel described in detail the
hardships of his trip into the Bra
lillian wilds. and particularly the hard
ships endured in navigating the rap
ids of The River of Doubt" In the
upper part of the river, he said, the
rapids were so severe that 1t required
AZ days for the party to traverse one
degree from 11.45 south to 1o.45 south.
During that hazardous trip they lost
nearly all their food and belongings.
I'VE were forced to eat monkeys to
exc out our rations," declared the
Colonel Don't shudder, for l assure
you that after this experience you
might leave me in the monkey house
without my making any mistake"
There were many Indians in the up
per reaches of the Duvida, the Colonel
said.
At the close of his statement, Col.
Roosevelt offered to answer any ques-
lions which any one in the audience
might ask. After a pause, during
which no questions were propounded,
he said: No questions are asked me
to my face"
Asserting that he made up his
mind to undertake this task, the Col
onel continued: Everything we did
was based on what the telegraphic
commission of Brazil under Col. Ron
don had done during the past seven
years. All we did was to cap the pira-
mid of which they laid, broad and firm,
the foundations"
He presented letter which he wrote
to DIR. Miller after he left the jungle,
describing the trip.

GERMAN NEWSPAPERS PREDICT
 ATTACK DIRECT ON ENGLAND
ANTWERP FALLS

ANTWERP, Oct. 10.-The entire fortress of Antwerp including all the forts are in the possession of the Ger mans. The war flag was removed from the cathedral and the white flag was hoisted in it's stead on Friday morning so that the last stronghold of Belgium is gone and the enemy is in possession. At 2:3O in the after noon the commander of the Belgian garrison surrendered formally.
 The Belgian troops fought val iantly to the very end but were forced after frightful slaughter to give up their city. The Zeppelin airships of the Germans directed the enemy's heavy artillery which caused appall- ing losses. The Belgians attempted at awful loss of life to blow up the German artillery but the attempt was fruitless.

SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS IN
 WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT
All Mines Clean up We'll and New Ones Are Coming In View
 All The Time

KNIK, Oct. 6.-When Wm. Martin closes his mill sometime this month the most successful season the Willow Creek District has ever seen will end. The Crews from both The Gold Bull lion Mine and the Independence Pro- perty have reached town. Mir. Martin is using gasoline engines to work his hill and if the present weather conditions continue he believes he can operate until the 1st. of Novem- Der. It is understood that his mine has produced better than One Hun dred Thousand Dollars this season, while the Gold Bullion property has taken out better than One Hundred and Fifty Thousand. The Indepen- dence were slow in getting started with their small mill but took out between Fifteen and Twenty thous- and. Their property showed up we'll late in the season and it is expected that their mill will be added to next year.

TO DEVASTATE FRANCE

It is now the general belief in Lon don that Northern France is destined to suffer the same awful devastation. which has been the fate of Belgium. The French general staff announces that the only hopes to defeat the Ger mans is in the sending of reinforce ments as fast as they can be shipped and to keep sending them without cessation. The outlook never looked so bad and when it is remembered that about a quarter of million of men can now be dispatched to aid the German right in France the feeling becomes once more pessimistic.

CAPT. M MULLEN
 TELLS OF WAR
FATHER OF OUR OWN CAPTAIN WAS IN TURKEY AT
 THE TIME

Captain McMullen of the Cardiff stear lship Snowdon, father of Captain McMullen of our own Dirigo, was in Turkish waters at the beginning of the war and in the Welsh newspaper The Evening Express of September ' tells some abSorbingly interesting facts relating to the great struggle.
 Captain McMullen ST., says that in the early days of the war there was great excitement among the Turks and when the German warships ar rived in the Dardanelles they were received by great crowds who in- dulged in demonstrations in favor of Germany. The Snowdon and other vessels had to be led out of the Dar- danelles by a Turkish tug that guided them through the mines that had been laid by the Turkish government. When the Goeben and Breslau arriv- ed they showed that they had been severely damaged in a conflict with the British ship Gloucester and Ger man steamer named the Cordoba went out to them with cement to repair the holes in the hull of one of the war ships and also to put stores aboard. The German ambassador lived on the Cordoba and was supposed to be con- stantly in touch with his government.
 In the issue of the Evening Express containing the story of Captain Me Mullen there is a short paragraph which very vividly tells the effect of the war on British trade. The i'm ports for Cardiff for August de- creased by nearly 14,OOO pounds sterl- ing and the exports by nearly 10000 pounds sterling,

BROAD PASS QUARTZ IS
 NOW SHOWN TO BE RICH

KNIK, Oct. 1.-The figures on an assay just run on ore from the Golden Zone claim belonging to the Wells Bros. and located in the Broad Pass have just become known. The samples were taken by the Pankey Bros. across a 1O9 it. zone. The lowest showing was $1.60 in gold and about 2 OF. in silver. There is little doubt that there will be a rush into that section early in the spring. Freight is now being contracted for at 30 cents a pound from Knik.
 Knik is going to have large win ter population this year. Probably fifty new cabins and houses have been built in the last 60 days. Every house is filled and the road houses and hotels have been doing heavy business.
 The last freight has been delivered to Susitna Station. Having had trouble in the past the shippers this year had their goods come in early. The river is now showing some ice and navigation is practically closed.
