WOULD APPROPRIATE
 WILSON POPULARITY

The Wickersham supporters have become desperate in their attempt to profit from the popularity of the Will son administration. They have post ed in the street window of the Alaskan hotel copy of a letter from the President to Delegate Wickersham, acknowledging the receipt of letter by him from the latter.
 The letter follows:
 "The White House,
 Washington, D. C.,
 December 3, 1913. "My dear Mir. Wickersham:
 Allow me to thank you very heartily for your kind letter. Your generous words of approval are most gratifying to me. Cordially and sincerely yours.
 WOODROW WILSON" This letter was simply courteous reply from the President to letter of the most Iaudatory type sent him by Delegate Wickersham, thanking him In behalf of the people of Alaska for the expression contained In hls message of the previous day concern. ing Alaskan legislation.
 The letter was used in the interior by the supporters of Delegate Wicker sham, and proved boomerang when 1t was discovered how thin was the attempt to gain little reflected glory for their candidate from the circum- stance that the Presiden had replied to a letter he had received from a Delegate to Congress.
 But this letter is not the only at, tempt that the Wickersham supporters have made to connect the Delegate with the President. They even went so far as to proclaim throughout the Territory that Wickersham was one of the committee of Congress which attended the funeral services for the Presidents wife at the White House neglecting, of course to say, that the committee was made up with one member from each State and Terri tory. Delegate Wickersham was the only member from Alaska.
 The absurdity of these attempts tC connect Delegate Wickersham ant President Wilson is strikingly appar ent when one considers them in con nection with the fact that 0elesatt Wlekersham has never met Preslden Wilson, and so admitted In hIs las Valdez speech.

EUROPE BUYING
 AMERICAN STEEL

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-New inQuir. ies for roller, forged, and cast steel products are in the New York market for export to Europe. Some of the in dividual inquiries run as high as 10000 tons. and the prospect is that several of the latest inquiries will develop into business in the course of few days.
 One great difficulty in placing Eur opean contracts for both semi.finished and fully finished steel with Ameri' can mills Is that the practices of our local manufacturers differ radically from those in Great Britain and con. sequently the sizes of steel wanted for export are not standard in this country.
