JUNEAU, Oct 25. = Charles F. Bunnell has received the endorse ment of the National Democratic party which is working for his cleo Ition. This is taken to mean that the claim made by Delegate Wick ersham that he is supported by the Democratic administration at Wash ington is erroneous.
 The following telegram was re ceived yesterday by MT. Bunnell:
 Washington, D. C., Oct. 24, 1914. Charles F. Bunnell, Juneau, Alaska.
 Every Democrat in Alaska ought to vote for the Democratic nominee for congress.
 (Signed) FRANK E. DOREMUS. Chairman Democratic National Con
 gressional Committee"
 When Mir. Wickersham was speak ing here recently he attempted to leave the impression that he is sup ported in Washington by the admin istration. and thus 1t was not neces- sary to send a Democrat from Alas ka to congress. The news that MT Wickersham is not supported by the Democrats at the national capi- tai will cost him many votes in the First division, where it is believed that the best interests of Alaska can be served by electing a delegate congressional leaders.
 After making speeches at Sitka, Tenakee, and Hoonah, MT. Bunnell has returned to this city, feeling much pleased with the welcome he has received everywhere. In the last three places Mir. Bunnell held the same kind of enthusiastic meet ings that he enjoyed at Juneau, Douglas, Skagway and Haines. At flowing.
 It is conceded here that Bun nell will carry the First division by a large majority. This division will probably lead all the other divi sions of the Territory in the num- Der of votes cast.
 THIRD DIVISION
 FOR BUNNELL.
 VALDEZ, Oct. 25.-It is conser vatively estimated here that Charles E. Bunnell's majority of the Third division will be 300 votes. There will be a total of 800 votes cast in Valdez The businessmen of this city have organized to prevent il- legal voting

PROJECT TOPAY FROM START
SPEECH INDICATES FAVORABLE REPORT ON PROJECT, WHICH WILL REACH WASHINGTON. TT IS BELIEVED SOME TIME IN DECEMBER.

SEATTLE, Wash. Oct 25.-Thar Fairbanks alone will use 15.000 tons of freight year when tLe new gov ernment railroad is completed and start. even if the traffic resulting from the coal mines is not taken into onsideration. were two of the assertions made by Thomas Riggs, Jr.. member of the Alaska Engineer ing commission. in a talk to the Seattle Chamber of Commerce yes terday.
 MT Riggs arrived few days ago from Alas where he and the two other commissioners have been sup, erintending the surveys for the rail road and making estimates of costs, His speech here is taken as an indication of the favorable report that he and his associates will make to President and the secretary of interior.
 While MT Riggs had little to say in regard to the report that he and his associates are now preparing, he intimated that the report would be in the hands Of authorities in Washington by the time congress convenes in December.
 The speech made by MT. Riggs left a favorable impression on the large Audience that had gathered to hear it. Mir Riggs was asked if con struction would begin next year, and he replied that he believed it would, though that was a matter that was out of his hands.
 Mir. Riggs explained that during the last several months he had visited all the parts of Alaska to be affected directly by the road. and had inspected the various routes that had been suggested. Which of these routes will be chos- en- he said would be determined by the President sometime after the report of the surveys and estimates should be filed by the Engineering mission.
 When the road Is completed to the Interior of Alaska, MT. Riggs declared, mail and freight would reach Fairbanks within six or seven days, and it would bring to the now almost isolated country all the conveniences of modern civilization.
 In the center of Alaska, MT. Riggs explained, there are vast areas of good farming country that cannot be utilized at a profit until railroad transportation facilities are provided. The railroad, he said would help the entire Territory. even though but one main trunk line is con- structed.
 That Fairbanks will be the Inter- for terminus of the road was the impression left by MT. Riggs, for he frequently referred to Fairbanks and the amount of freight needed at that place.
 Mir. Riggs explained that the rail road would increase the gold pro- duction of Alaska wonderfully, for there are large areas there, he said, of low-grade placer ground that can not be worked at profit until cheaper transportation facilities are provided The mining outlook in Alaska is good he asserted, and he is sure that the railroad will stimu- late prospecting for quartz and will result in the early development of many promising claims.

II is now certain that in ad-
dition to the street improvement
which the city is putting in q
large amount Of cement side
walk is to be put in this fall.

ly 1000 square feet laid along
his property on the corner of

laid along two sides of their
hardware store, corner Of Tenth

OH Main street from Seventh to

The question has not been
raised in the business section of

that outside of one block on Col

little question but what the Fast

Try Dairying
On A Large Scale
T THE BIG MCCOLDRI~K RANCH
Are Shipping In Three Carloads Of Mich Cows
PatTOnize Local Creamery

The McGolderick lumber COM
pany is planning to stock its
ranch near the city with nillG
COWS. Two carloads of cattle,
iNenly-six milk cows ;. nig
among the number and the re-
mainder young stock, arrived
last week and another carload is
expected this week
The ranch, which is under the
management of e. A. Corey, lies
about a mile east of the city, and
is admirably situated for a dairy
ranch. 1t is mostly cut-over
laud that has been cleared amt
put into timothy and is we'll
watered. Mr. Corey, who came
here from the east about a year
ago, is an experienced dairv
farmer and thoroughly under
stands the business
The company expects to milk
at least fifty cows and will send
The cream TO the creamery here.
The creamery has also entered
into contract to take a part of
the milk which will be manufac /.
tured into cottage cheese.
Another large dairy farm is be-
ing opened at Fernwood by a
party who moved there recently
from the east and bought a large
tract of land. The cream from
lhis ranch will also come to the
local creamery and will add ma
Ierially to the output of butter
From the present indications the
creamery will, in another year,
be doing double the business that
il is at the present time. Be
sides these two large customers
number of smaller ones are
planning on patronizing it, and
p. II. Sweeney, who recently pur-
chased a large tract of river land
on the ST. Joe river, is also talk
ing of going into the dairy busi-
ness. Mr.. Sweeney's place Is
capable Of maintaining several
hundred cows and if he should
conclude to go into the dairy
business to the full capacity of
his ranch could keep a good siz-
ed creamery supplied from his
ranch alone.

The engineers report showing
the cost of work done on the

showing $lO,O3O including inter

the contractors can draw 80 per
cent of the cost of the work done
and a resolution was passed to
nay the contractors 80 per cent
Of the engineers estimate.
There was some question as to
whether $1,000 was the full
amount of the cost of the work
dohe at that time or 80 per cent
Cf it and it was left with the
clerk to consult The engine II be-
fore drawing the warrant.
A report of the amount of
money remaining in the different
funds was made and the Mayor
urged the necessity of being care
full in making expenditures as
he stated that no warrants would
