FAIRBANKS.-At the inquest which was held over the Al. Prescott acci- dent at the dredger on Fairbanks creek it was found that he met his death by drowning and not by being crushed by machinery. It was sup posed by those on the dredger at the time the bucket chain broke that it crashed down upon Prescott and crushed him to death underneath the water. On the contrary, however, Dr. Sutherland, who made the examina- tion. found that the unfortunate man was drowned.

KINKS PEOPLE TREBLED
 SINCE LAST SPRING
Schooner Brings in Large Cargo
 Tor George Palmer

All Knik turned out on Sunday 10 welcome the arrival from San Fran cisco of Geo. Palmer'S schooner, the C. T. Hill, in command of Capt. Nelson.
 The little schooner had a rough and lengthy voyage, being out forty-two days. On the run from Golden Gate city she lost her main sheet and the stays were also carried away. She brought a valuable cargo to this port of over 400 tons of general merchan- disc, lumber, etc, all of which arrived in good condition. Two houses were built on deck, each holding 90 tons of

merchandise.
 This is the third trip of the C. T. Hill from San Francisco to this port this season. She left again for the outside on Thursday and will bring in a full cargo early next spring.
 Mir. Palmer says business in knik this season is better than any previous season and he is thinking of installing power in the schooner so as to enable him to make more trips during the op- en season.
 Right in Knik, said Mir. Palmer, the population has more than trebled since spring and the surrounding country has more than four times the population it had this time last year.

We have thought all along that there was
some way 70 avoid the terrible accidents caused
by ships coliding with each other at sea, when
enc ship rams another and gashcs its side so
that water rushes in. The facts seem to have
been that IN a good many instances ships In
collision have been in charge of men who have
not been aole to keep their heads in the pinches
We have thought that little practical COM
mon sense would prompt sea captains at least
to keep their vessels In the hole they had made
and prevent much possible Of danger.
This belief Is strengthened by the ship disaster
OF last week, when ship ran into another, but
through the presence OF mind OF the captain
was saved from sinking before passengers and
crew had been removed by the sticking together
Of the ships. We trust that there is some power
strong enough TO enforce a sea law making
this sort ~ maneuver q part Of all maritime
law. Since scraps Of paper have become so

small chance that such contamination will
be reached.

Mrs. Andrew Jackson Montague,
President, Home for Needy Confederate
Women, Richmond Va.
My Dear Madam comply with your request
that Wednesday, October Ia, 1914 be designated
as memorial day for the dependent women now
cared for and maintained for by the Home for
Needy Confederate Women. and that a permit
be granted to the officers, members and friends
Of the home to solicit and receive contributions
for its support on that day.
The fact that the home receives but small
appropriation from the city and state, and
that the expenses Of its maintenance have been
increased by the higher prices Of everything 1t
has to buy should make stronger the appeal that
rous and generous instincts of people. The
many appeals that being made for help
for the women of the warng nations should serve
to remind of some of the losses OF these in
nocent victims of the War Between the States
and to stimulate the hearts Of those of this gem
Grafton to aid in your worthy efforts to comfort
their declining years.
Permission Is hereby granted the Home
for Needy Confederate Women, its officers and
duly authorized agents to receive contributions
for the support and maintenance of the home
Of Wedn esday, October IA, 1914, and for this
purpose to occupy and the streets parks and
such other public buildings will not obstruct

charge OF public business.
Very respectfully yours.
