 eraged S2.47. Darius Resta, winner
 of the Vanderbilt and Grand PTix
 races, was second. Gil Anderson
 was third. Resta's average was
 8928.
 Resta contested every mile of the way with the winner, and the battle of these two pilots was the feature of the contest. Resta never quit trying to head off De Palma and he finished only four minutes after the winner had crossed the tape.
 Out of the twenty-three cars that started eleven finished, Of which ten received prize money.
 That De Palma victory was a pop- ular one was shown by the demonstra- tion by the thousands of spectators who rose and cheered wildly as the winner finished his last lap. De Palma drove into q garage immediately after he received the checkered flag which announced his victory and locked the door His first words were of praise for his mechanician who rode by his side during the long grind.
 Enthusiastic friends burst open the doors of the garage. De Palma became the center of attraction for hundreds of people who fought for chance to shake his hands.
 De Palma drove a consistent racA He was never back of fourth place.
 Big Crowd Sees Race
 Fine weather and great crowd marked the fifth Indianapolis race. The first rank of cars got away at the slated hour of ten-thirty.
 Resta took an early lead and closely pursued by De Palma and Howard Vii cox, led to the hundredth rhiIe Wilcox was second behind Resta in both the Vanderbilt and Grand Prix races at San Francisco this year.
 The luck that attended the noted Italian pilot did not favor his younger brother John, who went out with en- zine trouble in his forty-first mile.
 Earl Cooper one of the favorite Americans, was running fourth behind De Palma when the race was half over.
 Resta took another lead toward the three hundredth mile but lost it to the Mercedes when he skidded into the ce- ment guard rail and blew two tires.

INFORMATION
 FROM BOB HUNTER

Our former townsman, Robert Hun ter, is at present in Juneau, where he will remain until after the legislature meets, and the Daily Dispatch has the following to say about him: Hunter states that 35 head of government horses at Katchimak Lake and 45 head at Ship creek. under the charge of Denton, ranged out all winter and that they are in fine condition.
 While I was visiting in San Fran cisco," said MT. Hunter. "I was i'm pressed by the activity with which the merchants there are going after the Alaska trade. Palmer who has store at Knik. has already made arrange ments for the sailing schooner C. T. Hill to take supplies to Ship creek this summer, direct from San Francisco.
 While outside l learned that the attempt to have Secretary Lane to route f. O. b. from Seattle all supplies to be used by the government line failed. and the agents acting for the government will be asked to call for bids in Seattle Portland Tacoma and San Francisco"
 In answer to a question Mir. Hunter said that owing to the 46 foot tides in Cook Inlet it would not be an easy task to land goods. but lighters he said can take on supplies half mile from Ship creek and then be taken into Ship creek on tides where they will be left dry when the tide goes out.

NJ DANGER FUR . AMERICAN
 SHIPS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19-In ad- ministration circles the opinion is freely expressed that there is little danger of American ships being sunk In the war zone surrounding. Great Britain and France by German sub marines. and the situation is not con- sidered at all threatening.
 The German request that American ships paint their nationality conspicu- ously on their sides cannot be en- forced by the United States govern. ment, but the administration will ask the marine insurance companies if they have taken measures, or are contem- plating such, for the identification of neutral vessels on which they carry risks.

LETTER IN WRECK
 FINALLY TURNS UP

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON, Feb. S--A strange mis- colored envelope arrived a few days ago at the home of Miss l.. Rudge, Cover street, London. It was stamp ed Recovered by divers from the wreck of the steamship Empress of Ireland,' and had come from the Dead Letter office at Ottawa.
 Posted at New Glasgow, N. S., on May 25 of last year, the letter had gone down with the big vessel, the wreck of which in the St Lawrence cost more than a thousand lives, and though under water for months, it reached London in surprisingly good condition. The mucilage which had held down the flap of the envelope was gone; the stamp was missing, and in places the ink of the address had run. The letter itself, however, was per. fectly legtble.

SNOWFALL AFFORDS
 UNEMPLOYED A JOB

"It's an i'll wind that blows nobody good" was exemplifed in Cordova to- day when the heavy snowfall of yes terday, while it made things unpleas- ant for a majority of Cordovan was welcomed by a number of men to whom it furnished much needed em- ployment.
 Bright and early this morning a crew of twelve or fourteen men report ed to Chairman Goodall, of the street committee, and were put to work to clear off the accumulated snow on the sidewalks in front of the various un- occupied properties about town. The ordinance covering the removal of snow snow from the sidewalks au- thorizes the city to have it removed in the event of the failure of the owner to so within a reasonable time, and to charge the cost against the lot owners. As a consequence a number of side walks were cleaned today, which otherwise might have been undis- turbed until the snow melted away, fact that will be appreciated both by pedestraians and the men en- ployed in the work

The American note presented to the Ser
 lin foreign office today by Ambassador Gerard was interpreted on all sides as de-
 cidedly friendly and leaving the way open to a satisfactory solution with honor to both sides. Officials made it clear that the note purposely had been phrased so as to reiterate the earnestness of the United States with respect to the principles of hu- ntsnity and international law and at the same time to afford Germany an oppor- tunity with dignity to make her practice square with the principles expressed
 It was officially stated today that note would soon be sent to Great Britain and her allies. insisting on change in the operation of the blockade conducted by them so as to conform with the prin- ciples of international law forbidding in- terference with trade in noncontraband articles passing to and from belligerent country through a contiguous neutral | country. This, it was generally believed,
 would be an important factor in convinc- | ing the German government that the 1 United States would maintain the same | vigorous position on the Fundamentals | in international law with respect to the l allies as has been the case in the Amer | ican correspondence with Germany.
