FAIRBANKS BASES
 SUPPORT ON PATRIOTISM

The Fairbanks Times, after await ing the completion of the Bunnel cam paisn in the Tnana Valley, and the de- parture of Mir. Bunnell for the coast, declared that patriotism demands that the people of the Panama Valley de- mands support for the Democratic nominee. The announcement of the Times support of Mir. Bunnell is as follows:
 Charles E. Bunnell, choice of the Democrats of Alaska for Delegate to Congress, has come and gone. The Times has reserved comment on MT. Bunnell, awaiting the opportunity to become better acquainted with him personally and to learn his attitude on questions of importance to the Inter- for country.
 "As the result of our closer acQuain- tance with him, We arc convinced that he is man of high character and erect morals; man of exceptional ability who carries proof of his hon. esty in his countenarce. No one who has had the pleasure of meeting him will hesitate to say that he is an hon est man.
 "Mr. Bunnell has succeeded unaid- ed, in obtaining Q finished education in leading university in the State of Pennsylvania, and has shown his real metal by working while in col Iege at menial work, to assist him in obtaining an education. For these and other reasons, we feel sure that Mir. Bunnen is fitted in all respects to measure up to any situation that may confront him.
 What we wish especially to call to the attention of the readers of the Times is the fact that Mir. Bunnell stands sQuarely upon the issue of a goyernment.owned and government-op. erated central power plant, in con nection with government-owned and government-operated railroad, so that transportation and power may be giv- en to the people of Interior Alaska at actual cost. There is no question of the sincereity of MT. Bunnell in his championship of this cause, and for this, reason the Times will give it's utmost support to his candidacy.
 "President Wilson has shown his in. terest in the development of Alaska and Is desirous to open the door of op- portunity to her citizens; and Fran kiln K. Lane, his great Secretary of the Interior, is on record as favoring the development of power sites by the government in the interest. of the people. The Democratic party in AL aska has declared squarely for gov ernment power plant, and MT. Bun nell is bending every energy to bring us into a realization of these abso- lutely essential reforms.
 'Tt seems to the Times that it's duty is clear in the matter, for the shortest cut to government-owned and gov ernment operated central power plant is through the Democratic administra' tion, with Democratic Delegate pleading our cause. We hold that 1t is simply a matter of patriotism for every person who intends to make the Panama valley his home, to forget everything else and work for that which will mako for us permanent homes in the permanent and pros perious districts of Alaska"

MAY REPEAL C|TY'S
PORCH CONSTRUCTION
ORDINANCE Of 1904
Plan Considered as Most Feasible
Solution to Crescent Street
Problem

Repeal of the building regulation Of
1904 which prohibits the erection of
front porches beyond the house line,
may be the plan adopted by City Coun-
Gil as the most feasible solution to the
Crescent street problem.
The whole question was raised ut
Tuesdays meeting of the commission
ers by James G. Costello. He wanted
to erect some houses in Crescent
street, south of Swatara The lines he
| received of the engineers and the
| building inspectors offices prohibited
him from building porch beyond
the house line. The houses on ad-
joining properties however had been
built prior to 1904 with porches pro-
lecting fifty-one inches beyond the
line. This Costello claimed effected a
permanent nuisance TO his property
and he called upon the city authorities
to have the porches moved back to
the house line-fiush with his own
building line.
The fault lies it is held in munich
pal circles, in the 1904 building regu-
lation.
Should the city require rigid adj
herence to the 1904 regulation all
houses with porches erected all over
the city between 1862 and 1904 could
be ordered to do the same. The re-
suits can only be guessed at. On the
other hand; by repeating the 1904 law,
the situation could be restored to the
old status that existed prior to its
passage-and Costello and anybody
else could build front porches.
The problem was to have been
threshed out at postponed confer
ence this afternoon by the councilmen
City Solicitor Seitz and Building In
spector Grove, but it had to be post
poned again because of the absence

Washington Hopes Mediation May

Gloomy
ALL HINGES ON HUERTA
White House Insists New Provision
al President Must Be
Neutral
Bv Associated Press

Washington, d. c.. June 1S.-While
administration officials said to-day
they still had hopes for d successful
outcome of the mediation at Niagara
Falls. they were more doubtful than
they have been at any time, probably
since the conference began.
Officials close to the President feel
that Senor Rabasa's published note of
Yesterday disclosed anew that the
Mexican delegates are consistently
holding out for a Huerta adherent for
the provisional presidency despite the
fact that many such men have been
mentioned as 'neutrals.'
President Wilson is equally deter
mined in his view that unless a man
approved by the Constitutionalists is
chosen the new provisional govern
ment will be in trouble from the outset.
White House officials said that when
the reply of the American delegates
to Senior Rabasa's note was published
it would be a sufficient explanation of
the attitude of the United States.
r. J. Smith. an American imprisoned
in Tonola. state of Chiapas, several
weeks, pending investigation of the
killing of some MeXicans, has been re-
leased.

mala.

Planets Have No
Effect on Weather;
Moon Is Harmless
Br fssociatcd Press

Washington, D. c., Junee 1S.-As-
trology is branded as a superstition
by the Department of Agriculture In
its current weekly news letter. Dis
cussing the question of whether the
planets affect the weather the depart
ment declared 'the belief. still to be
found in all countries, that the planets
and the moon do affect the weather
never had any scientific basis what
ever; 1t is only remnant of the many
superstitions generated and fostered
by that other greater superstition, as
trology."
The departments conclusion on the
subject says:
I'VE have every reason to believe
tht neither the planets nor the moon
can have any appreciable effect on the
weather. sbecause they furnish so little
heat upon which all weather changes
ultimately depend. and their. belief is
fully supported by weather records" ]"
