The town of Anchorage, the coal ter minal, is the Mecac that attracts scores of old sourdoughs from all parts of AL aska, as well as from the northern ter ritory. They are here, these pioneers frontiersmen from Nome. Fairbanks Iditarod, Ruby, Dawson, Circle City. Ju- neau, Cordova, Ketchikan, Valdez, Se- ward, Chintina, Skagway, and other places too numerous to mention. It is perhaps safe to assert that there is scarcely a settlement in the whole of Alaska that is not represented by a former inhabitant in Anchorage

An Outside View.

Burlington Hawk-Eye : The
harrisburg consolidated school case,
which has been in the court for a
year or more, has finally been decid-
ed, and the merger is upheld. Thus
the plans can be carried through as
originally outlined. 1t is reported
the Blairsburg school is one OF the
very best consolidated schools in the
whole state, and it seems as if that
fact alone ought to suffice to satisfy
the people, who have heretofore
been fighting the merger. But it is
reported that the case is to be TAX
en- to the supreme court of the state.
It is scarcely to be believed that
that body will destroy something
of real value and of great value at
that. Just because some mere tech
nicalities of the law have been over
looked.

RUSSIANS RE:
FORM LINES FOR
new BATTLE
Five, Days Rear Guard Action On
Dniester Gives Muscovites
Needed Time.
SAN. NOW SCENE OF BATTLE
Reorganized Cabinet Returns Il
Petrograd After Field Confer
ence With Grand Duke.

London, June 29.-Berlin reports
the fall of the Galician town of Ha-
licz and says that the Austro-Ger-
mans have crossed the Dniester riv-
err, which means that the five days
desperate rear guard action by the
Russians has ended in their retire
meut. However, the stubborn resist
ance of the flank of the forces of
Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chi
of the Russian armies, has undnubt-
eddy enabled him to reform his lines
along the river Bug virtually with
out interference.
The river San now takes the place
of the Dniester as the scene Of a
sanguinary battle in the Russians
effort to prevent the investment of
Warsaw. Petrograd admits the re-
tirement of the Russians to the riv-
er Gnila Lipa, which is some eighty
miles from the frontier and falls in
to the Dnieser at Halicz, but mill
tary experts do not expect heavy
fighting along that river.
They express the opinion that the
next serious battle probably will oc-
cur along the Zlota Lipa river,
which runs parallel to the Gnila Lii
pa further eastward, where the Rus
slams would benefit by the railroad
with which the Tarnopol line con-
meets. These operations and plans,
according to military men, confirm
the theory that the Dniester forces
were merely covering for the north
ern army.
The reorganized Russian cabinet
has returned to Petrograd after a
field conference with the emperor
and Grand Duke Nicholas. The Rus
sian press devotes considerable at
tention to the reconstruction of the
cabinet, the convocation of the du-
ma and the mobilization of indus
try for war purposes, one writer de-
claring that the pronouns eve" and
they as applied to distinguish the
government to the people will now
cease to exist.

GERARD SAYS
THE NOTE Will
Be FRIENDLY
Answer From Berlin Will Be Favor
able. Is Report From German
Ambassador.
DOESN'T OUTLINE THE REPLY
Some Arrangement to Safeguard
Lives Of Neutrals May Be
Suggested. -

Washington, D. C. June 90
Favorable reply from Germany to
the last note of the United States
concerning submarine warfare and
the sinking of the Lusitania was
predicted in an official dispatch from
Ambassador Gerard received yester-
day at the state department. It was
transmitted to President Wilson at
Cornish, n. H.
While the ambassador did not at
tempt to outline the forthcoming
German note, he described the at
mosphere in Berlin official quarters
as favorable to satisfactory reply.
He referred to the visit of DR.. An
ton Meyer-Gerhard, the emissary of
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador pointing out that the
latter's information apparently had
Impressed the German government
with the idea that the United States
did not want war with Germany,
but desired satisfactory reply to
her original demands.
Ii. The fact that Ambassador Gerard
took occasion to predict informally
the nature of the reply was regard
ed as significant in official quarters
here, where it was pointed out that
the ambassadors forecast in the
past had been conservative and con-
sistent. Although it was generally
known, he gave the Washington
government to understand what
would be contained in the last Ger
man note, and the text itself bore
out his prediction.
: Inasmuch as the communication
which is under preparation in Ber-
lin is said to have been scrutinlzed
by Emperor William as we'll as
Chancellor Won observation-disclosures
and other high officials, the belief
prevails that Ambassador Gerard
would not have made his deductions
without awaiting information fol-
lowing the consultations between
the emperor and his advisers.

Word of Terrible Conditions in

CARRANZA AIDS IN THE FIGHT

Washington, D. c., June 29.-Of.
fetal dispatches sent by the British
charge de affaires at Mexico City By
courier to Vera Cruz and from there
cabled to the state department. yes
terday pictured conditions in the
Mexican capital as extremely criti-
cal.
The Zapatistas holding the city
with a force estimated at nearly 25,-
900 men, were reported by the cour-
Ter to have repulsed last Wednesday
an alta cking Carranza army under
Gen. Palo Gonzales, while General
Carranza was dispatching all rolling
stock and available men in an at
tempt to reinforce Gonzales and con-
tinue the assault.
The situation on the west coast
of Mexico is improving.
Admiral Howard yesterday sent
by wireless to the navy department
a message saying there was no truth
whatever in reports that he had
landed marines. He said relations
between navy officials and leaders of
all factions on the west coast were
friendly.
conditions in Mexico City are
not reassuring according to reports.
Communication is still interrupted,
and General CarranZa is rushing all
available men to reinforce his
troops in the vicinity Of Mexico City.
1t is said to be the intention Of Cen
eral Carranza to send in provisions
with his army, although there is
nothing definite in regard to this re-
port.
"A courier sent by the British
charge d'affaires arrived in Vera
Cruz on the morning Of the 9th
having left Mexico City on the 23rd.
the. departments advices conveying
this information also state that it is
confirmed that the ZapatLstas have
appropriated the cable.
"Various press reports agree, ac-
cording, to this dispatch, to the de-
partment from Vera Cruz under date
of June 27, that the Zapatlstas have
assembled a force estimated at 49,
GOO troops to contest the entry of
the Carranza forces Most Of these
Zapatistas are outside the city in
front of the positions occupied by
General Gonzales. 1t is reported
that the troops of Gonzalez have
been defeated in the northern sub
urbs, losing ammunition and other
military supplies. Other reports
state that the Zapatistas are poorly
equipped and provisioned. Business
in Mexico City is said to be suspend
ed. The food shortage is causing
concern"

GRAIN LETTER

Chicago, June 29.-Quite a little
bullish wet harvest news but locals
very careful in following bulges.
Lack of export demand and the
promise of good harvest and corn
weather in the weekly forecast
weakened the list. To date there is
no serious crop reports from the
northwest or Canada. Half of Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska continues to
complain on corn but in half the
seven surplus states and throughout
the south the corn plant is making
a good showing. Dat reports still ex-
coed anything ever known. Record
crop. If map on Wednesday is dry
the list should dip a little more.

cobwebby fashion all over the
rooms of the home. However, she
unraveled the tangle and was re-
paid by finding at the end of the rib
bons large baskets filled with mys-
FERROUS looking, beribboned pack
ages. A variety of gifts were found
in the packages. Dainty refresh
ments were served the latter part OF
