u, s, WILL LEND
Cash ON COTTON
$3O,OOO,OOO to Be Advanced
to Aid Planters.

WASHINGTON = The first step
on the part of present federal govern
ment to relieve the southern cotton
planters has been taken. Announce
ment was made at the treasury de-
partment that Secretary McAdoo will
deposit $30,00O,000 in gold in the fed
eral reserve banks of Atlanta, Dallas
and Richmond, if so large a sum is
needed, in order to facilitate the fl
nancing of the cotton crop. This step
was decided upon as result of the
action of the allies in putting cotton
on the contraband list.
The deposits according to the Off
cial announcement will be for the pur-
pose of enabling those federal reserve
banks to rediscount loans made on
cotton secured by warehouse receipts
by national banks and those state
banks that are members of the fed
eral reserve system.
No interest will be charged on
these deposits. 1t is intended that the
deposits shall make it possible for the
member banks to charge low rates on
loans on warehouse cotton and indf-
cations are that the federal reserve
will fix extremely low rates of redis-
counted paper of this character.

Official reports from Sofia and Con-

Bulgaria have signed a new treaty.
Turkey granting Bulgaria her desired

SEWARD ID GET
 WIRELESS STATION
supt. of Marconia Company Will Come North to Select Site and
 Station Built this Winter.

SEATTLE, Nov. 9.--Superinten- dent Irwin, of the MarcOni Wireless
 company, will leave for Seward on
 one of the first boats, to establish a
 wireless station there, and has an-
 nouncede that his company is consid-
 ering the advisability of establishing
 a chain of wireless stations through out interior Alaska. The company
 now has an agent in Fairbanks in- vestigating the business conditions,
 and should his report be favorable it is probable that station will be
 built at Fairbanks early next sum-
 mer.
 The Marconi company now have
 stations at Ketchikan and Juneau and
 are desirous of extending their busi- ness to all parts of the territory. It lis understood that Supt. Irwin has arranged with Falcon Joslin, who owns the wireless station in Tolo- vana, that the Marconi company is to handle the outside business of the
 Tolovana station.
 Supt. Irwin will select the site for the station and states that the plant will be installed as soon as station can be built.

FASHION IN FURS
 SET BY WOMAN.

In reply to- the question, "Who creates fashions in furs?" MT. A. B. Shubert, President of A. B. Shubert, Inc, Chicago, the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American Raw Furs, says, in part as follows:
 "Woman, lovely woman, she is the creator of styles. She knows what she wants. If she fancies Fox, that settles it-fox will go for sure. It is fox or nothing. This may seem very strange to those who don't under stand the feminine mind, neverthe- less, it is a cock-sure, one best bet, one-guess proposition. In one re- spect, women are like sheep, they follow the leader. Someone in the world of fashion, and it may be a member of the nobility, well known and popular woman of the stage or one of high fashionable society springs a new stunt, her own idea or partly that of her furrier. She flashes it at some publ, function. If it takes, it is more contagious than the smallpox In time, every woman in the civilized world wants the same thing. They don't all get it. Those who have the price do. Those who don't have the price, get the next best thing, as an imitation. By the way of illustration, will cite case was in Paris, August, 1913, and was shown, by M. Greenwalt of that city (the one manufacturer of furs who has assisted in bringing out more novelties in ladies furs than any living man), the first model of the now extremely fashionable ami nal scarf, made from choice Silver Fox for Madame Sarah Bernhard, the great actress of France. The fash ionable world grabbed for it, for it had merit, it is becoming to any lady. The result was, the big de- mand for all kinds of Fox, Fisher, Lynx and the soft-furred Northern Wolf with heads attached. The mar ket has been cleared of all of the above skins, higher prices will pre- vail for them this coming season, and will continue so long as the animal scarf remains fashionable. After that it will be something else. No one knows what, but it will be thing that woman, lovely woman wants, and not what we want to sell'

oppose it, and who will oppose it to the bitter end. These are the forest service men, and the men whose de- partments or business would have no more say about the affairs of Alaska.
 Additional Power for Legislature.
 MT. Wickersham will work to give to the Alaska legislature additional powers, particularly in reference to the fish and the game. There were few limitations in the Home Rule bill as it passed the Congress of the United States that were not in the original bill. They were offered as amendments and they had to be ac- cepted by the delegate or the bill would have been defeated entirely. lit is to remove these amendments that he is going to work to grant to the Alaska legislature the power to fully protect the game and the fish of the territory. He will use his every effort to restore to the bill those original provisions which had to be sacrificed.
 Land Law Amendment. According to his statement Dele gate Wickersham will seek to have a law enacted that will permit men who have used their homestead privileges lin the states to have a second right in Alaska, that is, if man has stalk ed 16O acres of land in the states, to allow him to stake another 160 in Alaska, or at least to make up the difference between the number of acres he filed on in the states and 1920 acres which, under the law, he is entitled to homestead, in Alaska.
 Harbor at Nome.
 The construction of a suitable har- bor at Nome is considered by Dele gate Wickersham to be one of the utmost importance, as there is much loss of life and property there an- nually. At the last session of Con- gross he got the money necessary to survey the harbor at Nome and the IWrangell straits. The money came out of the Rivers and Harbors ap- propriation. A report will be ren- dered by the surveyors and if these reports are favorable the delegate will fight to have money necessary for carrying out these two necessities appropriated.
 Federal Buildings for Alaska.
 The bill which Congress passed ap- propriating $1OO,OOO for federal building at Cordova was introduced by the Delegate and he has promised to make every effort to have all ob- jections removed that early construc- tion will be started He will also en- deavor to get money appropriated for public buildings at Fairbanks, Ju- neau and one or two other towns in Alaska.

AMERICAN POETS ARE
 VICTIMS OF FRAUD.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The case of John Newcomber, who victimized poets in all parts of the country, be- gun in the federal court here yester- day. Sixty-five of the five hundred poets who were the victims of his frauds have testified that Newcomber secured $10 from each of them as an entry fee for a prize contest which he was conducting. When poems were submitted to him he wrote the authors advising them that their poems were sure to win the 5000 prize but that 1t was necessary they send $1O as an entry fee.

NOT A CANDIDATE
 F0R GOVERNOR
Delegate Wickersham Believes Con- gress will Make Big Appropri-
 ation for Railroad Work.

Delegate Wickersham was a pas senger on the Admiral Evans last night going to Seward and Anchor age, and will return on the same boat as his time is limited in reaching Washington before the opening of congress on Monday, December 6.
 While the steamer was in Valdez Mr. Wickersham visited with a num- Der of his friends and expressed re- gret that he could not spare the time to remain between boats.
 When asked concerning the report that he planned to be candidate for the governorship of Alaska in the event the Republicans should win in the national election next year, Dele gate Wickersham stated that he as not candidate for the position.
 Work for Trails and Railroads.
 Delegate Wickersham, when asked regarding the probability of congress making large appropriation at the coming session for the Alaska rail- road construction work said he be- heved Secretary Lane would have no difficulty in securing any amount asked from congress. He said that he personally favored large appro- priation for the railroad as its con- struction would hasten to open up the resources of the territory.
 The appropriation for roads and trails should. in the opinion of MT. Wickersham, be handled through the territorial legislature, the same as the forestry fund was used by that body. He believes that by the ap- pointment of the proper persons as superintendents or over-seer that bet ter results can be obtained, and in a way that will be satisfactory to the residents of the territory.
 Statehood for Alaska.
 A bill will be introduced in Con- gress by the Delegate granting state hood for Alaska. Of course con- stitutional convention would be nec- essary. Congress would have to ap- propriate the money to hold such an election and the money to take the duly elected delegates to the scene of the convention would also have to be appropriated by the Congress of the United States.
 Local Development Board.
 The Commercial bodies of Alaska have endorsed Secretary of Interior Lanes plan of Development Board" for Alaska, and MT. Wicker sham will be a supporter of this measure.
 In addition to the governor of Alaska and the territorial secretary there would be five members of the board, three of whom would be bona fide residents of the territory of Alas ka. A great deal of waste, great deal of time, a great deal of money, a great deal of unpleasantness would be avoided, and above all, a greater understanding and closer hnowl- edge of the needs of the country would result if this bill were passed.
 Although Secretary of the Interior Lane is heartily in favor of the pas sage of the bill, there are many who
