To make the Boring coal field de-

with Cordova, by building an exten-
sion of the present Copper River Rail-
road now running from Cordova to the

The question is often asked. why
did the U. 8. Government buy the
Alaska Central Railroad running into
the interior from Seward instead Of
the Copper River & Northwestern run

side of Washington, the answer seems
to be a mystery. II is said that the
government asked the Morgan inter-
ests, In control of the Copper River
Railroad, to name the terms upon
which the former could secure possess
sion. / am told that the government
was offered choice of three PROPOSE
tons: one, that it could purchase the
railroad at valuation to be by
the Interstate Commerce Commission:
two, that 1t could lease the road ION
satisfactory terms; three, that 1t could
utilize the road and build such connec-
lions to the coal fields as it might de-
sire. The story is that this proposi-
ton was so fair that the government
was too glad to consider 1t fayorably.
But without discussion or, explanation
it suddenly took up the -ofrer or the
Alaska Central and accepted it.. The
Cordova people feel offened at the
outcome. but there rs room in Alaska

LATE TELECRAPH|C NEWS NOTES



NEW YORK, Nov. S-A fire swept
through five story wooden factory
building in the Williamsburg district
of Brooklyn Saturday resulting in
twenty of the girl employees losing
their lives and over fifty others in
jured The fire started on the first
floor and in an incredible space of
time the, stairways were mass of
flames effectually cutting off escape
to the street, The employees crowded
out panic stricken onto the fire es-
capes, there being about five hundred
of them in the upper stories who were
cut off Eight of the girls, who SEEM
ed incapable of motion were burned to
death on the fire escapes in full view
of horror stricken spectators.
The remaining twelve persisted in
side of the building, and fifteen bodies
are all that have so far been recov-
ered The girls on arriving on the
fire escapes were afraid to wait for the
arrival of the firemen with the life
nets and the injured were hurt in
jumping to the street. When the fire.
men arrived, the ladders were run up
and many heroic recues made, most of
the girls having to be carried out, as
they were overcome with both fright
and smoke. The Essex Shirt Com
pany occupied the floors and had
about 500 employees. The lower
floors were occupied by the Diamond
Candy Co.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8-The death list
from the fire in the building occupied
by the Essex Shirt Company has been
reduced to twelve, all young girls, en-
ployed on the upper stories of the
building. All of the injured are doing
wei and will recover.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8-Represent-
alive Claude Kitchin of North Caro-
lima, the Democratic leader of the
House, called on President Wilson
today and held long conference ip
reference to the administration
declaration in favor of increased ma
tional defense. Kitchin has always
been opposed to increased ornaments,
and his avowed views ON the subject
have been contrary to the recent pub
lie declarations of the president. Kit
chin's attitude has been a subject of
much conjecture. but he told Wilson
today that he would be unable to sup
port the administrations program,
and as Congressman, and in a per-
sonal way he would do all in his pow
er to oppose the adoption of the meas
ures to be introduced at the coming
session. AS House Leader he said he
would not use his influence in opposi-
ton to the bills.

IS ALL RIGHT,
 SAYS FORMER POSTMASTER

According to the Juneau Empire of Oct. 21, among the passengers on the steamship Northwestern arriving in that city that morning was Albert Vile, former postmaster at Iditarod who was on his way to Sacra- mento, Cal, to spend the winter. Says the Empire:
 MT Vile made the trip over the trail in one of the new stages, and reports that from all indications the fearful trip over the trail is doomed to become one of the pleaSantest in the country The trail wasn't rough and never rode in anything that moved along more easily, said MT. Vile. There were fourteen of Us in the bus and we had a great trip.

 "Tolovana surely has big future ahead of it. Everyone there feels the same way about it. Good pay has been located in many places on Livengood creek and there are a large number of prospectors who have claims that are showing good values"

WICKERSHAM OPTIMISTIC
 WITH REFERENCE TO ROAD

Before leaving for the Outside Delegate WickerSham was interviewed by the Fair banks News-Miner as to the possibility Of construction work on the Alaska govern ment railroad being pushed to speedy com flaton He was asked whether or not con gress would give Secretary of the Interior Jane the amount he asked for, and Wick ersham repIicd Certainly. There is no doubt of it."
 In exlanation Wickersham outlined briefly the history of the elimination from the WickerSham bll. of the clause which would empower the government to issue ponds to cover the G;;}5 eco, O9J a3,ropria- tion, as was done in the bill authorizing the issuance of bonds for the construction of the Panama canal The News Miner article con- tinues:
 Tt semes that Representative Fitzgerald and the representatives from Georgia and Oklahoma were very strong in their opposl- ton to the appropriation of the money for the construction of an Alaska railroad and fought the passage of the bill with all their might, night and day, on the floor of the house, in the lobby and everywhere. Req resentative Fitzgerald was particularly bit ter against the clause which would empower the s.uance of the 335,000000 worth of bonds Finally it was agreed that the clause would be dropped, but only with definite understanding.
 Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin had fought just as hard for the passage of the bill as Fitzgerald had fought against it.. When Fitzgerald fouoht to have the bond r. Il. tive Lenroot went to him at the earnest request of Delegate Wickersham and had with Fitzgerald definite understanding to the effect that there would be no fight made against the money being appropriated for the road by the corning session of congress Representative Leuroot went to Mir. Fitz gerald and Mr. Fitzgerald, who is chairman of the finance committee in the house. a> Sured him that if the bill passed he would rot offer any objection whatsoever to the
