WICKERSHAM MIXING
 QUARRELS AND BUSINESS


 People of Alaska ana especially those residing in Fairbanks and its vicinity, should give their loyal sup- DOT, to the otfort being made by Del egate Wiokersham for an additional fund Of S750,0O0 for bridges and trails in Alaska.
 The purpose of this bill seems to be Co force the road commission to use the amount mentioned in new work. and thus let the regular appropriation asked for by the commission so to maintain trials and roads already com structed.
 The additional money asked for by Mr. Wickersham provides, among oth- CT things, for a fund for the construc- ton of a bridge at Fairbanks, across the Cinema slough. It also provides for the construction Of other import- ant bridges in tho Territory
 The fault with the whole thing is chat Delegate Wickcrsham Is using this bin, it seems. to further his fight against Col Richardson. head Of the Alaska Road commission. Tho en- mlty between these two men may bel properly blamed for the failure in Fair banks not having received the bridge at this place before, for it seems that Colonel Richardson did not ask for an appropriation for the bridge for tho reason that Mir. Wickersham want ed it.
 If Mir. Wickersham has reason to ops pose Col. Richardson in a personal way, or if be Is to take up fight against the N. c. Company the fights should be separate and distinct from anything that involves the vital inter ests of tho people here. As matter of fact, the people of Alaska are not much interested in the enmity that

ARCTIC EXPLORER SAFE

Vilhjalmur Steffansson, the arctic ex-
plorer, has again been heard from. On
April Z, 1914, his supporting party
turned back and left him with three COM
panions to continue his journey over the
snow and ice.
The explorer claims to have discovered
a new land before unknown to man, the
coast of which he followed for three
days.
Much as we may admire the indomi-
table courage and determination of these
men who risk their lives and endure un-
told hardships in struggle with the
northern elements, we can but regret
the folly of human endeavor spent in the
pursuit of such an object. Nothing can
ever be accomplished for the betterment
or uplifting of mankind by such expedi-
tions. No matter how many new lands
may be discovered, the ice-bound re-
gions of the frozen north can never
yield place of abode or offer other than
an inhospitable shelter.

SHIPS CATCH FIRE AT SEA

On September IL, fire was discovered
on board the liner SAINT Anna, in mid
ocean. The steamer was bound from
New York to Naples and Marseilles with
1,764 passengers aboard, chiefly Italian
reservists. The fire was extinguished
after nine hour fight. A search later
resulted in the discovery according to
reports, of thirty bombs, believed to
have been placed by spies for the pur-
pose of destroying the vessel.
On September 20, the Greek steamer,
Atheaai, was destroyed by fire at sea.
She had sailed from New York for
Greece on September Is, with about 47O
persons aboard.
When fire was discovered, wireless
distress calls were sent out, and a few
hours later the steamers TuscaniG and
Roanaania came to the rescue and re-
moved passengers and crew from the
burning ship. But one life was lost.
