KoYUKUK OUTPUT
 WILL BE $25O,OOO

Frank E. Howard, ex-ommission- CT of the Koyukuk country, when in Fairbanks recently, was asked for his opinion of what the output would be for that region the coming year, and he said that he thought it would Le in the neighborhood of S250,0O0. Most of the money will come from the Hammond river, although there will be considerable gold produced on J creek in the Wild river country and on Nolan creek.
 On J creek there are five outfits working in open cuts. They have to depend on the rains for their sluicing water and consequently are unable to take out much money. Up to the time Judge Howard left the Koyukuk, they had produced in the negihbor- hood of $35,OOO, and if they have plenty of water this fall will probably produce more.
 About ($115,OOO was washed up last spring on the lower half of No. 4 above Hammond river by Frank Smith and Knute Elingson. On the upper half of the same claim Jack Holzer and Lee Wilson washed up about $35,OOO. They are no opera tions on Hammond river in the sum mer by reason of the fact that there is too much water to handle.

 Alien Sympathizers
 "Voices have been raised in America protesting to be the voices of Americans which were not, in deed or in truth, Americans but which spoke alien sympathies. The voices have not been many but they have been very loud and very clamorous. They have proceeded from men who were bitter and who were grievously misled. Those men are the spOkes- men of small groups whom it is high time the nation should call to a recognition of what is their duty"

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Appearing in perfect trim and greeted with tum- ultuous enthusiasm President Will son last night in the Manhattan Club launched the administrations cam paign for national defense. The speech was an eloquent and vigorous statement of what he and his party will stand for in the coming election and during the period intervening. In the course of his speech he em- phasized the following points among others:
 U. :. Not CoyetOus
 If we ever had aggressive purposes or covetous ambitious that were the fruit of a thOughtless youth as a nation we have put them aside. l confidently believe that the United States will never again take another foot of territory by conquest. In no mans mind l am certain is there ever even raised the question of the wilful use of force on our part against any nation or any people. The mission of America in the world is essentially a mission of peace and goodwill among men. She has be- come the home and the asylum of men of all crecds and races but We feel justified in preparing ourselves to vindicate our right to independent and unmolcsted action by making the force that is in us ready for aSser-
