learned to love him well on account of the
 sincerity anad ghtforwardness with
 which he met his fellow men, says the
 Fairbanks Times. Thomas Carroll was
 among the early settlers of the North, hay ing stampeded to Dawson in the early days
 of that camp, and later came to Fair banks, where he remained for a number of years. Shortly after his arrival in Fair banks he entered into partnership with Thomas Gale, who was the first delegate to congress from the territory. In 1905 he started to work on Treasure creek with Hugh Dougherty, and for five years fol- lowing that time was engaged in different operations.

 The power schooner Bender Brothers, Captain Louis knatflisch, which arrived in Seattle from Bethel, on the kuskokwim, on October 27, was destroyed by fire while she was tied up at her pier on December 2. Some gasoline exploded and soon the ves sel was mass of flames. She burned so quickly that before assistance could be rem dered she was practically destroyed No lives were lost and no one was injured.
 J. A. Northway of Fairbanks, a veteran trader of Alaska, who through l6 years association with the Indians of the Panama alley has built up an extensive fur trad ing business, was in Seattle recently. He told Post Intelligencer reporter that he was going to erect sawmil in the Chisana. He will take the machinery from an old boat used for transporting furs to Fair banks and put it into the construction of the mill. He intends to manufacture lum- Der and shingles to be sold to prospectors to build cabins and sluice boxes He was n Seattle for the purpose of purchasing ad- ditional material. If the government would build railroad from the coast to the interior of Alaska, touching the present remote parts, another bunch of million aires would soCn appear" he says. "No matter in what part of Alaska the rail r ad Is routed, it will benefit the entire ter ritory, as branch lines can be linked onto it. If a railroad were put in near the Panama valley, that community would be dotted with fine ranches. The soil in the Panama district is fine for agricultural pur poses, but settlers will not invest money in
 that district unless they can market their goods Any Alaskan is willing to pay l2 cents pound for a Tanana valley potato n preference to 10 cents for Outside pota- toes This goes to show the quality of the products grown in Alaska"

Austria a. ) BAD WaX

Rome. Dec. F16.-According to re-
Iports from the Austrian frontier the
situation Of the. dual monarchy is ap.
proaching what might be called a
crisis. y 'dss
These reports are worthy Of cred
ence. 9sfhey set forths that following
the news of the defeat Of Austrians
by the Servians, the situation became
grave and was rendered more acute by
internal disorders, especially at VI
enna Budapest and Prague
At Vienna al large crowd gathered
in the Ringstrasse and marched to the
foreign office and rne war office, the
people calling loudly in protest against
the way the war isibeing conducted.
At prague there were lemonstra-
tions which assumed separatist char
acter, in the sense that the Bohem-
ians do not desire to see their sons
killed for German or anti-Slav inter-
ests, and havenot hesitated to express
their views st'' yla3a4s
At Budapest the demonstrations
were more violent and almost assun-
ed the character of a riot. The prin-
Bolpal streets Of the city had to be
cleared by the police, and while at-
Ifemnting to make it's way to, the min
istry of defense, the crowd cried
"Down with Potierek."
General Potierek is one Of the Aus
trian commanders.
Particulars received here from Nish
regarding the fighting in Servia en-
phasize what is termed the enormous
defeat inflicted by the Servians on the
Austrian army. More than two entire
army corps are said to have been lost
ii killed, taken prisoners and wound

soldiers. of Italian nationality ]. whnaa

most all these prisoners belong to insa

Descriptions OF the hardshipa suf-
fered blythe Austrians now in the
hands of the Servians are heartrend-
ing. When taken prisoners most Of

food from "a to So hours. They say
that some of their comrades died from
