to save the buildings, but after hard
fight of over two hours they had the
fire under control. Nearly all of the
furniture was removed from the rooms
downstairs but the whole house was
drenched from the streams that went
through the broken windows so that

was damaged to the amount of several

We all have had something to sa : about the Seattle spirit, the Seattle graft, the Seattle greed" all that and more. While those epithets may be merited to a great extent yet we may as well admit that Seattle is Alaska's devoted lriend. If we wish to be candid. We must also admit the fact that heretofore, whenever an Alaskan was in need, he has never failed t
 T tain 'c'ief, provlt q lis need wa. known.
 True, if We were prosperous, Seattle always received a large share. But when the Nome people were in dis tress who got there first? When the railroad bill hung in the balance, again who got there first with exhi- bits with which the impression enter tained by the opposing forces was d.5pelled? And so on indefinitely, aI- most.
 The Portland people are desirous to help us, seemingly, but how long since they abandoned us, every Alas kan knows. Is not their neglect as reprehensible as the misdeeds of the Seattleites? So. what is the use If Let us keep our eyes on the Seattle people. At the same time, let US treat them fair.-Peters- burg Progressive.
The Nome daily nugget., 1914-06-23

The remarkable thing about the sion at Niagara Falls, ostensibly to settle the difficulties which have arisen between the United States and the government of Huerta in Mexico,
 Is that it is apparently doing nothing whatever in connection with the Am erican grievances. They seem to have been lost in the shuttle.
 Nothing whatever is being heard about the Tampico flag incident, the preteXt for the starting of hostilities and for the capture and retention of Vera Cruz. Nothing appears in any If the press accounts to indicate that the mediators are being asked to do anything about the murders of Am erlcan citizens, the destruction of Am erican property and the violation of treaty rights of citizens of this coun- try domiciled in Mexico. Apparently such little matters as these, hereto fore presumed to be the main excuses for an intervention by the United States in the affairs of Mexico, are not considered worthy of attention.
 On the direct contrary. the only concern of the mediators seems to have been in arranging some program for the regulation of the strictly do- nestle concerns of Mexico, concerns with which, under any theory of in- ternational law, neither the United States nor the A. B. c. mediators have any right to interfere at all.
 The mediators, il seems, have drawn up a program for the setting up of some form of government in Mexico which will meet with their approval end with the approval of MT. Wilson. It is stated that it will take some months to carry this program into e. f. ct. In the meantime the constitu ti lalists, who are not represented in tie conference and who do not desire {" be, are proceeding with t"eir own I I"' gram, which contemplates the cap- ture of the City of Mexico. the prompt execution of Huerta and all of his fel- lowers and practically every one 0f S'i nish blood, and the settil:; up of a government satisfactory to themselves or rather to. their leaders. It Is quite possible that all of this may be ac- complished before the several months provided for in the mediation program will pass. If it is done, the United States will have the responsibility for dealing with the constitutionalists. Is there any assurance that they will be any more tractable than Huerta, should they once get power?-Post-
