There on the road, which is tho main line of communication of the German right and center. we saw Tor the first time tho troop trains going to the front on one track and the trains bearing the wounded coming back on the other, the raw material going to the mill and the finished product coming back.
 "The troop trains were luil of spien- did young fellows. loaded down with flowers. singing tho songs of the Fa- therland. the cars festooned with streamers.
 "A half hour after we reached the station 1,4OO wounded men arrived on the first train bearing wounded. For five days they had been coming from tho front ninety miles away packed on straw in the cars. The fresh troops had seats. and because they were needed were given che right of way. while these men who wero no longer of use conld die, may hap. on sldlngs.

 The retiring governor Is John M. Hoines Republican Tho goyernor elect is a Democrat One reason for his success. aside from personal pop, ularitY Is that the gubernatorial con test ln Idaho was three-sided attair, with progressive aspirant also in tho field
 The fact stands out in relief that Idaho has done something not only extraordinary. but uulQuo. That atate has elected on Hebrew as Governor
 It is said to Do the first Instance where one Of that race and religious belief has over received such an hon. or.
 Ttere have been He6yews in State Legislatures; in tho National House and Senate-as. for instance, Joseph Simon. of Oregon. and Isador Ray nor. Of Maryland; but novor before they say, in American history has an Heorew been governor
 Fut why not? It Is not question Of race or religion: but matter Of character and individual fitness for important place.

RICH STRIKE

MAKE RICH STRIKE
 ON VAULT CREEK
 FAIRBANKS. Dec. 14.-Much ex- citement was created in Fairbanks yesterday by the report that laymen on Jack Prest's ground on the Hard Luck Association claim on Vault creek had made Q wonderfully rich strike and that they were taking out pans that would run as high as Sl9. Ru- nor he'd these pans ranging anywhere from S1O to $19.
 Reports received last evening from Vault Creek said that Che strike was rich, but that it had been oxageer ated. At the property 1t was stated that pans. running as higet as Sll had been taken out but that the aver. age would be much lower, probably in the vicinity of S6.
 The men completed their shaft short time ago, but owing to tho warm weather. and the amount of slough. ing, had been unable to do much work. They are waiting for coldor weather and as soon as they can set wood on Inc ground, will start taking out winter dump.
 The men working the ground arc A. A. Beatty. Peter Barette and C.. Hamilton who took Icy OF the prop erty last summer, after Jack Prest made his cleanup and left the coun. try. Ever since taking ovor the prop. erty. the men have been doing well -(FairbankB Times.)

 FAIRBANKS, Dec 14.-ln letter received yesterday from the second assistant postmaster general Post master Guy T.

The reasons given were that the distance was too great; that there was no post office in the Kantshna Chat the ex- pense would be too greab and that there were not sufficient people in the district now to justify the depart- ment In taking any action.
 Last summer. the residents of the Kantishna and number of people interested in mining property there circulated petition asking for reg ular mail service to the district. Cop ies of the petition were sent to the President to the postmaster general, and to Delegate Wickersham.
