 We should an enter an emphatic protest and frown down upon any for eign interference. no matter by what motive octuentated. particularly d that motive is interior and to the dct- riment of the good name, growth and permancnce of our great cause.
 That the effort has been made to corrupt some Of our men for such a purpose is true. but that the strikes have been inaugurated is untrue; and it is untrue because the men who have given time and service to the workers of our county have inter posed in time"

WORK
 MAKES PROGRESS

SEATTLE, July 91.-Work on the government railway in Alaska is pro- gressing rapidly and the estimate of forty miles of completed road in 1915 made by the commission this spring win undoubtedly be fulfilled says Harry Miller a lumberman of Anch- orage, who is a guest at the Frye. Mr. Miller. with others. put in a saw mill at Anchorage following the an nouncement of the railroad route, and while business in their line is nothing remarkable just yet, they expect con- ditinons to improve "We cut spruce and birch. che native woods, but we find lot of competition from Wash ington Ar, which is shipepd in' said Mr. Miller yesterday Our spruce to compete with fir must be well sea soned. and that, of course, takes time. Although Anchorage has the aspect of real city would not be surprised to see the whole thing moved bodily to Matanuska Junction, new town on the route Of the railroad As the buildings at Anchorage are temper ary such a move would be easy" - Seattle Poat-Intelligencer)
