FAST GERMAN CRUISERS
 MENACE BRITISH SHIPPING

LONDON, Oct 23-The admiralty has issued a statement outlining the steps that are being taken to round up the eight or nine German cruisers at large in the At lantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. These cruisers include the Emden, which has sunk or captured twenty British vessels to date in the Indian ocean, and the Karlsruhe, which has taken thirteen British ships in the Atlantic The statement says;
 Searching for these vessels and working in concert under various commanders -ln chief are upwards of seventy British, Aus tralian, Japanese, French and Russian cruls- CTS Among these are a number of the fastest British cruisers.
 After explaining that the vast expenses of ocean and the many thousands of islands offer infinite choice of movement to the enemy's ships, and counselling patience on the part of the public, the statement con tinues:
 "The percentage of loss is much less than we reckoned on before the war. Out of 4,OO0 British ships engaged in the foreign trade only thirty-elght have been sunk by the enemy or less than 1 per cent in all,
 "The rate of insurance for cargoes, which at the outbreak of the war was fixed at guineas per cent, has now been reduced to ? guineas per cent
 Between 5000 and 5000 foreign voy ages have been undertaken to and from United Kingdom ports, less than five per thousand of which have been interfered with; and of these losses large number have been caused by merchant vessels talk ing everything for granted and proceeding without precautions as if there were no war.
 On the other hand, German overseas trade has practically ceased to exist nearly all their fast ships which could have been used as auxiliary cruisers being promptly penned into neutral harbors, or taking ref uge in their own. Among the compara- lively few German ships which have put to sea, l33 have been captured, or nearly four times the number of those lost by the very large British merchant marine"

THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
Steward Gateway

This is the last winter of watchtul watt ing in this part of Alaska. Before the com irg of another winter great numbers Of men will be employed either in the actual mining of the Matanuska coal or Tn the building of railroads to make possible the transportation of that coal Right today this part of Alaska is the most promising part of the entire world so far as English speaking people are concerned. Look at any place in any country and try to prove to yourself that such is not the truth We have a practically virgin territory which contains wealth of various kinds and which is about to be opened up by the richest government on the earth. The man who starts in here with nothing has better opportunities than the great majority Of people in other lands who are already fairly well supplied with means They must de pend on normal conditions unaided by the country or by progress, while we have the promise of being lifted upward and on ward on the shoulders of the terrltory's ad- vance. We are watching and waiting now, but we are only watching and waiting for "the tide which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.'

OUTPUT OVER
 TWO MILLIONS

The total gold production of the ldltarOd district for the year 1914 will prove some what of disappointment According to figures compiled from reliable sources, the total shipments of gold from Iditarod were S2,05S. .39040, whereas 1t was freely pre- dicted early in the season that the final figures would show production of 25OO- GOO, and some enthusiasts even prophesled that it would reach S3,000,C00. The sea sons output is but little greater than that for 1913, despite the fact that weather con- ditions were excellent for open-cut mining throughout the district,
 The main reason ascribed to the falling off in the expected output IS that the two dredges were compelled by unfortunate cir cumstances to close down much earlier than was expected The Yukon Gold Company S dredge, on Flat creek, operated fully three weeks longer last year than this, and the dredge of Riley X Marston, on Otter creek, was compelled to close down much earlier than was expected, owing to accidents to the machinery Weather conditions would have permitted the operation of both dredges until the present time, and it is not at all unlikely that they could have been operating up till the first of the year, as there has been no severe cold as yet. Another reason why the output did not reach expectations is that the operation of the Otter creek dredge practically put an end to open-cut mining on that creek, and thus, with the output of the dredge cur tailed, the returns from that creek were very largely reduced.
 It is not at all unlikely that another dredge will be installed in the district the coming season, and in that case much more ground will be worked next year, when the output should greatly exceed that of the year just closed.

GERMAN PRESS AGENT
 GIVES TERMS OF PEACE

WASHINGTON Oct 26.- German Am bassador Bernstortf is reputed to have said that Germany's ten commandments with respect to France if Germany wins are:
 'Al French colonies, including Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia; French territory from Saint Valery to Lyons, or one-quarter of France, with l5,0O0,000 inhabitants; an ln- demnity of s2,OO0,000,00O; commercial treaty enabling German goods to enter France free of duty for twenty-five years; without reciprocity and then resumption of the Frankfort treaty; suppression ot re- cruiting in France for twenty-five years; France to abandon her diplomatic relations with England and Russia; treaty of alh- ance with Germany for twenty-five years.
 As to the other allies Bernstortf IS quoted as saying:
 Germany will buy Russia and finish ctt England; then treacherous England will turn against Russia. Each will call for our help against the other. As for France, she must be reduced, sunk forever, and made another Portugal or Turkey, even fl we have to kill 5.O00,000 Frenchmen to do it.

SEWARD SENDS GREETINGS
Steward Gateway, Nov. 3

The mayor of Iditarod sends greetings to the people of Seward on the first start of mail over the Seward route,
 To him and to the people of lditarod, and to all their neighbors Seward returns the greetings gratefully.
 It is only to be hoped that from this time forward the people of the Interior and the people of this city will have closer ties and keep meeting.
 The very fact that they thought about sending us greetings is one which ought to have a good as well as a pleasant effect. It shows how those people are alive every moment.
 The first mail started yesterday, and in ordinary time the circumstances would have created an immense interest. If there had been no election pending the people would have esen that in the sending of the mail this way to the Interior Seward was De ginning a new epoch.
 But this interest exists just as strongly, although not shown, as it might have been owing to other matters. It was a big event for Seward, and may be regarded as the hamburger of far greater things to come.
