another severely injured while
walking on the Northwestern
tracks near Crescent late Mon
day afternoon. They were
struck by passenger train No, 4

AUTOMOBILE DAY
 F0R VALDEZ TRAIL
Three GasoIene Cars Leave Valdez This Morning for Inter-
 for Points.

Today was automobile day, no less than three cars having left Valdez over the wagon road. The big "Kel- ley" truck, owned and operated by G. Nelson, was the first to get away with Fairbanks for it's destination Two passengers were aboard and a large quantity of fast freight was taken. MT. Nelson arrived here on the steamer Evans from Juneau, where he has been operating the big truck.
 Buck Hoyt's "red devil' combina- tion freight and passenger car was next to get away for Hoyt's head quarters at Gulkana. Buck went to cattle and returned on the Evans with the Overland car. He expects to do a good passenger business between Valdez and Gulkana. He took a car go of wet goods.
 Charley Day sent his Ford machine to Chitina, where he has it sold to Bob Sheldon. Mrs. Miller went as a passenger as far as Ernestine road house.
 Joe Stanton, the Gulkana mail car rier, also got away this morning with big load of supplies for the road houses along the trail. Fred Ed munds, from the Gakona ranch also left town this morning with a load of supplies for the ranch.

shown that America is far more self sustaining and self-reliant than had been supposed. There has been some we'll founded claim of native capacity to stand alone and compete. in inven- tive faculty and manufacturing ex- cellence with any nation on earth. It begins to look as though Americans have been entirely too modest and too prone to abnegation. There has been too much tendency to accord to foreign peoples credit for the ex- cellence of American made goods, for mere commercial reasons.-Post- Intelligencer

SEPTEMBER IT, 1914
HOMEMADE LUxURIES.

It is gradually coming to the con- sciousness of the public that we are not likely to lose nearly as many imported luxuries by reason of the war as had been supposed. For in- stance, it has been discovered that some very popular brands of French champagne have been French only in name, the product itself originating on the sunny hills of California. There is also a violent surprise await ing the consumers in the matter of cheeses. There are some cheese od- ors that no imagination could con- ceive to be American, yet it has been discovered that Limburger, and some of it's sister cheeses, are successfully made in Hoboken and Cincinnati, and doubtless other places in America.
 It is probable that the chief effect of the war so far as foreign luxur- ies are concerned will be to stim- ulate their production in American factories that have for some time catered to the trade. There may be some shortages in birdseed and sheet music, but as soon as American sour ces of production are enabled to ex- pand their facilities the stress will pass away. So it is with genuine Russian caviare, which for years has been prepared in America quite as handily as in Russia. As long as the American fish egg supply holds out we are not likely to run short of this popular imported delicacy. The evi- dence seems to be that for many years American manufacturers have been modestly making regulations for factories in Europe.
 The war situation, indeed, has

 Italy Makes Protest:
 The Italian government has pro tested to the German government be- cause of the campaign started by the kaiser's agent to have the Moors and Mohammedan people attack the Christians and bring on a religious war. The Italian government has pointed out the fact that large part of the Italian provinces are inhablt- ed by Mohammedans and that the government looks with disfavor upon the work of the German consuls.

 The Italian government has under arrest two German consuls who were working among the natives in Tripoli to have them start war.

WOULD SUSPEND
 ASSESSMENT WORK
But Gov. Strong Wires Protest To ashington-kataIla Also
 Protests.

JUNEAU, Sept. Ex-Governor Strong yesterday, in replying to an inquiry from Commissioner Tillman, of the U. G. General Land Office, asking the governors opinion regard ing the bills introduced in congress which abated the assessment work on mining claims in Alaska on the ground that the European war had created abnormal conditions and had caused a lack of labor in the north, emphatically opposed the bills and wired as follows: No general sen timent among mine workers and own CTS in Alaska for abatement of as- sessment work. It is merely a move of nonresident owners who wish to save the expenses of doing the usual work The European war has not ere ated any abnormal conditions in Alaska except to increase the supply of labor rather than to diminish it. The bills should not pass
 The expose by the people of Nome of the efforts of the delegate and of Congressman Johnson to save the big corporate interests of the First divis- ion has opened the eyes of the peo- pie here to the vicious attempts of the nonresident mine owners to save themselves the necessary work on claims which they will not open nor allow the prospectors of the north to have and yet refuse to do the work required by law if they can secure legislation from congress to save themselves.
