The miners and proepectors or the Chisana camp are well pleased with the two government officials in the new mining camp and report that Frank Hofmaa and Tony Diamond as United States marshal and U. $. com- missioner have made good. Both men are old sourdoughs and have thor ough knowledge of the work they are called upon to do. Neither is narrow minded, and in spite of the fact that 600 men from all sections of Alaska have gone into the camp, whichis miles away from any other officers of the law than Frank Hoffman and Judge Dia- mond, they have maintained peace and quiet in the camp where gun fights and claim jumping weae expected to bring on amending trouble.-Valdez Miner.
 While not altogether unexpected, yet the order to close up the saloons on Sundays throughout the first division of Alaska cannot be said to have been received kindly, aud many have ex- pressed their opinion about Judge Tucker, of Nome, for having started the reform, which shows the unpopularity of the new regime. 1t is useless to doubt that the order to close up the saloons on Sundays will be received with delight, but whether it will be found agreeable to the majority, is an- other question which time alone will determine. From now on, those af- fected by the order will naturally ex- pect that all business houses will also be ordered to close. But the closing of all business houses on Sundays would result in great and irreparable damage to many miners, loggers and fishermen. However, unless the order includes all kinds of business, discrimination would be evident and rightly objectionable. As a matter of fact, discrimination has never been very popular.-Petersburg Progressive.
 "The people of Alaska should decide by popular vote whether they wish liquor prohibition or not, and it is not a question that should be decided by our federal government, thousands of miles away,p was the statement of Gov. Strong, of Alaska, at the Frye yester- day, when asked his opinion of the bill introduced by J. A. Falconer, of Ever ett, congressman-at-large from this state. "Under our limited territorial government the control of the liquor business is one of the things still in- vested in congress, but my stand is that the people of Alaska are better able to decide questions like this them selves" he continued. "Alaska has gone through one period ofliquor pro- hibition prescribed by our federal gov .erument, and it was farce. Prohi- bition in Alaska ended in 1900, but throughout the greater part of that time at least fourteen saloons operated openly at Skagway, and liquor was brought into the territory by the boat load from the Canadian side through out the dry period. To say that pro- hibition was a farce at Chat time would be putting it mildly. Alaska is a big country, inhabited by big people, who are we'll able to take care of their own needs and regulate and govern their own actions, and think it would be a grave mistake for the federal govern ment to interfere on SO vitalaques- tion," added sGov. Strong'-SedtIls Post-Iutelligenosr.

 John Banaine, original owner of the townsite of Seward, Alaska, makes the claim that the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce is dom. mated by the GuRgenheim interests in Seattle, and used every effort to secure the insertion of a "ioker" in the Alaska railroad bill which would have defeat ed the bill, but was frustrated by the work of Ballaine and other Alaskans in Washington at the time. They had hoped that a commission would be ap- pointed to have charge of all operations in the North, in the naming of which they hoped to have a hand. Uhis hope was shattered by the provision in the bill allowing the President full author |ity to use his discretionary powers in everything pertaining to the building and operation of ther0ad.

Delegate Wickersham has introduced a bill providing for an Alaska Develop ment Board which shall have the power to administer the land laws and in- terior affairs. The bill provides fer
 Eve members, composed of the gover. nor, the surveyor general and three additional members, all residents of Alaska, at a salary of S7 300 per year. The bill also provides for the appoint ment of a surveyor general at salary of six thousand per year. This legisla- tion is in accordance with the views of Secretary Lane
 After the October storm in Nome wild stories were in circulation to the effect that millions of dollars in gold were washed up on the beach. A prom inent United States senator predicted that Nome would enjoy a boom not in- ferior to that experienced in the "days of '99." Itis now reported that eEten- sive prospecting of the present beach since the storm fails to uncover any ground which has any value at all, i've cent pans not even once being uncov- cred, and what gold was found was of the lowest grade. So it appears that, instead of concentrating the gold, the storm washed 1t out to sea.
 Col. D. c. Jackling, head of the Alas ka Gold Mines Co.,, upon his return to the States from his recent visit to Ju- neau, expressed himself as more than satisfied with the work that had been done on his Alaska properties. "I was present at the opening of the 10000 foot tunnel on our property, which will be a part of our transportation system to tidewater. This is one ofthe largest tunuels of the kind in the world. 1t has been completed in seventeen months" said Col Jackling in discus sing the trip. "About the first of the new year we will start actual operation of our property. The first unit will handle about oue-fourth of the full ca paoity of 6,0OO tons daily Next spring we hoge to start operating to capacity"
 The season of 1913 was one of the. worst ever experienced by mild curers of this coast. The success of the previous season brought a number of smal operators into the Alaska field, and owing to the resulting heavy com petition for fsh it was impossible for the operators to make any money. A large quantity of fish was put up in a very slipshod manner, and what little of it has been sold went off at greatly reduced prices, while the balance is still held unsold on this coast or in storage in New York. This heavy stock of poorly prepared Ash has also prevented the sale of tho good stock, unless the owners of the latter were willing to accept cost, or less, for same, and as most of the packers were not willing to do this a considerable quan- tity of it is still in first hands, but will eventually be sold at a profit when the Eastern smokers thoroughly grasp the difference between it and the poor etook offered. The poor condition of the market has led to a decided curtail- meut of operations, a number of the small, operators packing in Alaska hav' ing decided to do no curing the coming season. The big operators will con. tinue to do business, but on a much smaller scale than in preceding years. l-Ketchikan Miner

peal from women Of all nations that
he head movement to end the
European war.
1t was carried to the White House
by Mrs. ROsika Schwimmer, of Hun
gary, Secretary of the International
Woman's Suffrage Alliance, who was
presented by Senator Thomas.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait accom-
panied Mrs. Schwimmer
The total of those for whom the ap-
peal was made was not less than L.
100000 women of thirteen countries.
"The President told me he was
thinking day and night about the pos
sibility of peace in Europe" declared
Nine. Schwimmer after her interview
with Mr.. Wilson. HE seemed to be
deeply interested in the movement
and said that he would lose no OPP
portunity of taking practical steps
to end the war"
President Wilson was to-day re-
quested by delegation represent
ing the General Conference of
Friends to initiate plans for the call
ing of a meeting of the nations for
the formation of a world parliament
for settlement of the war.

WILSON REFUSES TO RECEIVE
PROTEST OF GERMAN AMER
ICAN SOCIETY

lCAN OOClE1 L.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Presi-
dent Wilson to-day declined to receive
Horace l.. Brand, of Chicago, who
come to present messages from sew
eral German-American organizations
protesting against the charges of
atrocities made by the Belgian COM
mission against the German armies.
The President took the position
that he had already refused to per-
nit natives of other belligerent coun-
tries living in the United States to
discuss the war with him and that
the messages of the German-Ameri-
cans were not of the same nature as
those brought by the Belgian COM
missioners. He planned to write a
letter to Mr.. Brand explaining that
his recent statement on neutrality
addressed to the American people
should apply equally to all living in
America.
The President is understood to be
deeply disappointed over what he
feels is disregard of his neutrality
statement. He is determined to
check, as far as possible, continued
efforts of natives of European coun-
tries living in America to take sides
on the question He does not believe
such citizens should publicly take
sides.

WILSON REPLIES TO PROTEST
OF KAISER

WASHINGTON, Sept 16.-Presi-
dent Wilson to-day replied to the
message recently received from EN-
peror William protesting against the
alleged use by the allied armies of
dum-dum bullets. He said that he
had read the communication with the
gravest concern, but that it would be
unwise and premature for the Unit
ed States to express any final judg-
ment in the controversy.
The message was almost Identical
with the speech made by the Presi-
dent to the Belgian commission which
protested against alleged German
atrocities.
A cablegram replying to the pro-
test of President POincare of France,
who charged that the Germans were
using dum-dum bullets was also pre-
pared.
1t was not made public, but was
known to follow closely the text OF
the Presidents message to Emperor
William.
