WATCHING AND WAITING WINS
 CRIES BRYAN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-"Watch- full waiting wins" were the words of William Jennings Bryan when he had been formally notified that Carranza had taken over the reins of govern ment in Mexico and that the former government had given way to the vIc- torious constitutionaliSts.
 The secretary was greatly pleased with the transfer of authority in the neighboring republic and made no secret of his satisfaction.
 He has made no statement, how ever, about the probable attitude of the United States with respect to the new Mexican government nor has he or the president stated whether the United States government will rccog- nize Carranza. That the American troops will be removed from Mexican soil is almost certain but this govern ment has not even minated any in- tention to do so immediately. The re- moval of the troops has not, indeed, come up for consideration but it is the general opinion here that as no just reason can be advanced now for keep ing them there they will be summon ed home.

DAWSON MINE
 GETS BETTER
FAMOUS PROPERTY WILL HAVE SPLENDID CLEANUP
 THIS YEAR

That the Dawson mine on Crow creek looks better and richer all the time is the statement of Paul Buck ley, the original discoverer of the property, who returned from that sec ton yesterday. Mir. Buckley says that the cleanup on the propcrty will surely exceed $l0O,G00 this year.
 A small bit of rim rock yielded two thousand dollars there the other day but the fumes were not cleaned up.
 Mir. Newsom, who represents large capital, accompanied Mir. Buck ley on the trip and it is more than likely that the former will take dl Fl into Glacier rreok and give tfdt plIce a thorough test.
 Major French and Charles Heron have a gang working on Glacier creek clearing roads in preparation for the drilling operations which will be com menced immediately. Mr. Buckley and his associates have acquired the ground adjoining the French-Herron properties and are located on the old channel of Glacier from which a great deal is expected. Nr. Newsom stat ed while over there that the district looked mighty promising to him.

POPE'S BODY LYING IN
 ST. PETERS IN STATE

ROME, Aug, 22.-The body of the pope is now lying in state in chapel of St. Peters and thousands of pill
 rms are passing it by in review con stantly In spite of the war the rep resentatives of the Austrian, Spanish, German and other governments have received expressions of regret from their sovereigns and these have been communicated to the papal secretary of state, Cardinal Merry del Val.
 The preparations for the conclave are now going forward and several foreign cardinals are on the way from their respective countries. The news papers of this city give much space to discussions as to what prelate will be chosen as the new pope but all seem to agree that he is sure to be an Italian.

PRICE OF SUGAR
 AND FLOUR RISES
Word Received From a Seattle Firm That Affects Alaska People
 Directly

The Seward Commercial company received word by cable yesterday from a large Seattle grocery firm that the price of flour has gone up 6o cents a barrel and the price of sugar S2.S5 a hundred pounds.
 This rise in sugar means a rise of 60 per cent since August 1.
 Tea has gone up 25 cents per pound so that right here in Seward we are going to experience some of the bless inGs of war in these piping times of peace, which is pardoxical but true if We only take all things into account.

ALL DEMOCRATS
 TO AFFILIATE
ALASKA MAY HAVE FEDERA- TION OF CLUBS LIKE STATES
 ON THE OUTSIDE

That steps are now being taken to form federation of democratic clubs throughout the territory is probable as the territorial central committee was instructed by the convention at Skagway to make efforts to induce the clubs which have not yet affiliated with the national league of democra- tic clubs to do so. George Phelps ask ed the convention to take up the mat ter and he is in receipt of a letter
 rom J. |. Cobb saying that the com mittee was instructed according tc this suggestion. Five clubs in the territory are now affiliated to the ma, tional organization.
 Charles Bunnell may arrive in Sew ard tomorrow on the Evans although no direct word to that effect has been received from him. The democratic club of Seward will organize a rcccp- tion for him and will later work methodically for his election.

Charles F.. Heron, J. M. Davidson and Frank P. Carlin left for the front this morning and will probably re- main away while the Herron-French drill is prospecting the properties ta- ken over by it's operators. Mr. Da- vidson says that all Brazil has been placed on a moratorium basis which means, of course, that no one can bring suit against a debtor for his debt. Mir. Davidson has been inter- csted in large financial deals during his time and he says that matters outside are really bad.
