SLOT MACHINES
 ORDERED OUT
UNITED STATES MARSHAL ENDS THE NICKEL GAME OF
 SEWARD.

Deputy Marshal Ike Evans received instructions this afternoon from Mar shal Brenneman by cable to notify all people who have slot machines in op- eration that the machines must be put out of use. Mir. Evans received in- structions to confscate or destroy all machines found in operation after having notified the owners of them. The work of giving the notification was begun by Mir. Evans immediate ly. The machines were forbidden in the First division some time ago and have not been in use in the Second division for years so that the First, Second and Third divisions are now three of a kind and if the Fourth div ision has the same law enforced it makes two pair which makes us look like four white chips.

ANOTHER LARGE BUNCH

 R. Keer, Wm. Kingsley, John Fol som, Gilbert Bates, Sherwood Haynes and wife, c. R. Porter, Wm. Heitman, Geo. Bettis, w. Lodge, c. Ellington, E. K. Rink, Thos McEwan, Mrs. A. F.

NO INQUEST ON BODY
 OF KING THURMAN.

The commissioner has decided that an inquest on the body of King Thur man is not necessary. The sum of seventy dollars recently came to poor Thurman through the mails and this will be used to bury the remains. Two men will perform the work. The hold ing of an inquest would entail large expense as the jury etc. would be com pelled to visit the cabin. It is worth mentioning in this respect that the government provides no funds for burying men who die some distance off. The only way in which money can be secured for the purpose is by holding an inquest.

SAYS SEWARD
 IS THE PLACE
SEATTLE TIMES WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT IS
 AUTHORITY.

That Seward has been chosen by the president already as the terminal of the Alaska government railroad is the statement made by w. w. Germane, Washington correspondent, in the Seattle Times of February 20. He says also that the report of the com mis ion is ready brt that the presi- dent will not make it public until some time near the adjournment of con- gress.
 The following are the closing words of the article:
 Among impartial observers here it is generally believed that the Presi- dent has in fact already decided upon the route from Seward by way of the Susitna Valley, through the Matan- uska coal fields, through Broad Pass, and to the Panama River at the mouth of the Nenana at a point about forty five miles below Fairbanks, and that only the formality of a public an nouncement is needed to give that route the stamp of government official sanction.
The Seward gateway., 1915-03-03

WASHINGTON, March 3.-That the present engineering commission of the Alaska government railroad will have direct charge of the con struction work on the road is believed to be indicated by a provision which was introduced today in the general deficiency bill. This provision author izes the railroad commission to main tain a commissary department where supplies may be purchased by the en- ployes on the construction work. In- deed, many of the best informed peo- pie declare that the provision is pract- ically the same as a direct announce, ment that the commission has been re-

 WIFE.

 LIC LIFE.

That Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, who is about to build the public library at Seward, is the widow ot a nephew O. F.. H. Hartman, thas she is a member of the Industrial Relations comnIs- sion, that she has been mentioned as likely second wlt3 for PresidenJ 'Vil- son and that the assistant cashier Of the new National Bank Of Seward is now probably on his way here are all facts gleaned from the outside papers which arrived last evening on the Mariposa. It is also seen that Robert Ashland has offered four lots free to Mrs. Hartman here for her library. Another paper states hat Sidney Con- don, confidential stenographer 10 John Skelton Williams comptroller of the currency, has resigned to take up the position of assistant cashiec in the national bank here and was to have left Washington about March l for this city.
 The following story from the Seat tie Post Intelligencer gives a most in- teresting account of Mrs. Hartman:

AUSTRIAN SHIPS TO AID TURKS

GENEVA, March 3.-Six Austrian submarines and several desroyers have departed from Poa the great Austrian naval base, and are their way to the Dardanees to aid the Turks in repeng the assaults of the allied fleets on the Turkish forts. The Mediterranean has probably been vacated by the allied fleets that the Austrans may be able to reach the Dardanees without moeStatOn unless some of the bombarding fleet deach ed to meet them the way It is reported here that the allies have landed force from the fleets the shores of the Dardanees and that this force is driving the Turks before it into the interior Should the land army succeed in taking possession of the shores of the channel for the full length COnstantnOple is doomed

INNER FORTS sILENCED

that the inner forts of the Dardanees have been senced by the allied fleets If this is proven to be true it will mean probably that Constantinope will be besieged and bonn barded The opinion of military men here is that the Turkish guns and general preparations for the defence of the Dardanees must have been frightfuy inefficient to be unable to prevent the passage of so narrow channel It also assumed that the land guns of the Turkish army must be of poor quality they could otherwise have been brought to position from which they could attack at the thought of Turkey being driven out of Europe

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, of New York, pur- poses to erect at Seward, Alaska, a public library as a memorial to her late husband, who died a few months ago, and who was a nephew of the late E. H. Hartman.
 Some of the Hartman money has gone into the new bank soon to be established at Seward. Mrs. Harri- man took prominent part in the Will son campaign in 1912, both her money and her personal endeavors being put into effect to elect her choice. She is a family friend of both the McAdOos and the Wilson's, and irresponsible Washington gossip already has select ed her as the possible future Mrs. Woodrow Wilson.
 Mrs. Hartman is now a member of the federal commission on indus trial relations, her appointment to that position in 1913 being credited to the McAdoo influence. She has cOnfded her desire to endOw a memorial library at Seward to Alas kans now in Washington, and with them is working out the planF for tFe enterprise"

The action also indicates that the president and Secretary Lane have already accepted the report of the commission and are prepared to act on it although it has not been made public. Rumors are again rife as to the probable location of the ocean terminal and it must be said that, although nothing definite has been given out, the chances are fifty million to one in favor of Seward.

sTRoMER TO FLY HERE.
Great Aviator Will Cut Capers in
Midair at Fair.

The accident that smashed up the
aeroplane of L. T. Barin and injured
that aviator will have no effect upon
the plans of the Polk county fair
board. As soon as BARN notified the
directors that he had been crippled
and his machine demolished, HI. L.
Fenton wired to several other noted
fliers and the man whose services he
had tried to secure originally will
appear here in BARNS place on
Thursday and Friday. This is Stro-
mer, recommended as the premier air
man of the northwest. Stromer has
accepted the engagement at the fair
and will make two flights on each day
E. j. Arnold of the Arnold Carnival
company said to Mr. Fenton that if
Stromer would fly here it would mean
that Polk county would see the most
skillful and daring airman in this
part of the country. Stromer has
fine machine with which he has made
of successful flights in the
northwest and this he will assemble
in Dallas today and tomorrow
L. T. BARN, who was listed to fly
here, fell with his machine at Rose
burg last week, spraining his ankle,
many cuts and bruises and
demolishing the machine. He wrote
the fair board soon after the accident
that he would be unable to fulfill his
contract.

ANGLERS MUST PETITION.

Before the fishing streams of Polk
county, closed by petition of sports
men, can be re-opened another petit
tion must be circulated, according to
Phil Begin, who has taken enough in
terest in the matter to investigate
these details. A petition presented
to the state game and fish commission
caused the closing Of the streams. A
law governing this procedure says
that the streams cannot be opened be-
fore the beginning of the next regu-
lar season, and to effect the opening
at that time, or thereafter, petition
with that as its object must be pre-
sented to the commission.
