UNUSUALLY MILD WINTER
 EXPERIENCED IN YUKON

DAWSON, Y. T., Dec. g. - The mildest and most uniform wintersi in the history of the Klondike has been experienced thus far. The thermome- ter has been seldom below zero. The snowfall is also one Of the heaviest. The Yukon river has not yet closed between Lower Lebarge and Big Sal mon and only recently closed at Car mack's, and at Yukon Crossing 1t only closed last week.
 The mildness of the weather much delays individual mining, because the cold weather would freeze the ground solid so that shafts could be sunk to greater advantage.
 In the new Rude creek camp. where 100 miners are building cabins, only @ few have started sinking shafts. No new pay is reported as hardly any have reached bedrock yet.
 A party of four arrived today from Chisana. Billy Moore, pioneer Yu- koner, fell through soft ice in the White river but got out safely. Fifty men are wintering In the Chisana and work on several claims is going on.
 Dredee Still Working.
 Two dredges of the Boyle company are still operating day and night on the Klondike river. One of them' which was recently overloaded, may be worked all winter. It can operate at 20 to 30 below zero without in- terference. The record for late op- erations on a creek was made when Boyle's No. dredge shut down last week because of lack Of power.

WINDSTORM
 DOES HEAVY
 DAMAGE HERE

The worst wind and rain storm ID three years visited Juneau last night and early this morning. The wind swept up the Channel with a driving sea in front of 1t and wrecked gas boats. pile drivers. and did much damage to docks and other structures along the water front. The lights were out all over the city for hali hour
 In the uptown section the damage was nominal. but couple of windows were blown in and fences around the city were leveled.
 The barometer started to fall late Saturday night and all day yesterday continued to so down at rapid rate until 1t was the lowest 1t has been for many years. Sea gulls flying hign all day yesterday foretold the storm and boat owners and mariners along the waterfront started preparing for a heavy blow. When the wind started, shortly before midnight, dozen or SO of the gas boat owners left their moorlngs along the town front and slipped far up the Channel towards Salmon Creek where they secured shelter.
 Iowa Is Battered
 The gas boat Iowa, which was lying on the tide flats In front of Indian town being repaired after having been driven ashore. near Taku was badly batter by the force of the waves.
 The James E. Sayles pile driver, which was lying on a grldiron near the Femmer and Ritter dock, was driv- en against the bling of the dock by the huge waves until a hole was driven in the side of it and sunk.
 The gins were snapped off entirely about three feet above the deck and lying across the capping of the dock, total loss. being badly broken and twisted. Before the pile driver sank it tore about @ dozen piles loose from the dock structure and several of the caps win have Co be replaced.
 The waterfront section from the Pa cific Coast dock to the City wharf escaped the force of the wind and waves. being better sheltered, but some damage was also done there. pil- ing being torn from under the docks and other minor damage done.
 On her last trip from Douglas last night the ferry Alma was unable to land at her float. and finally proceed ed to the Alaska-Juneau float where landing was made with difficulty
 Crossed Wires Darken City
 The Electric Light Company and and the Telephone Company are hav- | ing trouble today replacing wires that were blown down by the high wind. This morning at 1910 two wires be- came crossed near the Governors House and all lights in the down town section were out for some time. After the line crew discovered the trouble and fixed 1t. 1t was found nec- essary to turn the lights out again and strengthen the repairs on account of the velocity of the wind.
 The wind is sad to have attained velocity of 90 miles an hour at times during the early morning.

More Feminine Logic.
tor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In Saturday mornings Tribune there
was an article entitled Feminine Logic" by
one who signs himself T. f. W. He starts
out by condemning woman suffrage and winds
up with war talk.
did not know that Germany's army Of
100000 TO 100000 men had anything TO
do gith the votes for women question. 7. +.
W. must have heard outside somewhere a
gibbering OF war talk and suffrage, and with
true logic y put the two together.
For my part cannot see the connection;
but, then, am a descendant of this riot Of
the nursery" and | am going back 70 make
just as much noise as | can until we are
firmly established on the rock OF true prin-
ciple--whch is. standing hand in hand, men
and women, as Gods children, equally help

see the victory OF woman suffrage. So. here's

suffragettes believe in the "peaceat-any-
price" propaganda? Or do they believe that
we should create at once an adequate de-
fensve force. which means an increase OF az
least 900 per cent in our army and navy
What are their views on other questions
economic ones, for instance? II seems to me
that the sequence Of ideas in the sufragette
mind is. first get the vote and then SIT down
and ponder what shall be done with II.
In the proposed amendment 20 give the
right Of suffrage 20 women there is one
phrase that may, by chance, have been over
looked by many voters II reads, provided
that a citizen by marriage shall have been an
inhabitant of the United States for FIVE
years" That means that if this amendment
is adopted any foreign woman will have the
right to vote if only her husband has that
right and she has lived in the country for
five years. The ignorant foreign vote (and

Don't Dim the Lights.

The budget subcommittee, which Is
racking brains to save city dollars, has
decided that the lights of Fifth Avenue,
from Twenty Street north, ought TO
be DINNER to the extent of $1,000 a year.
Just how much darker this scheme would
make that important thoroughfare only
electrical engineers could decide. Com
missioner Williams points out that along
the length of Central Park, Fifth Avenue
now has only one row Of lamps; and any
citizen can ascertain by an evening stroll!
that it is none too well lighted.
Any plan which would make city
street darker than 1t now Is is unwise.
The saving In this case would be so trivial
that the idea is unthinkable. Even if I
material saving could be effected, it would
be false economy. What the streets need
is more light, not less.

Postponins the Inevitable.

There should be comfort for the New
Jersey suffragists to-day in the fact that.
though they were defeated, they were not
defeated by anything like the overwhelm-
ing vote their opponents had expected
Arainst the steam-roller tactics Of the
political machines they made a highly
creditable showing Of strength. That
strength, II the experience of other states
counts for anything, will grow under the
sting of defeat. New Jersey this year was
not ready to abolish sex privilege in gov
eminent. but the vote polled by the woman
sufFragists ought TO be sufficient testl-
mony. even for the most obtuse, that the
demand for such adjustment cannot be
silenced.
Much stress has been laid on the theor
that the result in New Jersey would he
an index Of the fate of the suffrage cam
paign in this state. That is by no means
necessarily true. The women across the
river had several difficulties to contend
with from which, happily. their sisters
here are free. The New York State
campaign Is excellently organized. The
various groups or associations are work
ing in thorough harmony. While the OPP
position of the political machines may not
be less bitter, 1t Is hardly TO be expected
that il will be carried 70 such an extent,
and manifested so openly, as was the case
in the special election yesterday. Or
ganized labor. strangely enough, largely
opposed to woman suffrage in New Jersey
at the behest of some of its leaders, ap-
pears to be pretty completely for votes
for women here.
The defeat in New Jersey is discourag'
ing for the suffragists, but it is by no
means fatal. 1t will spur the campaign
ers here and in the other campaign
states to redoubled efforts. 1t ought to
inspire in the voters thoughts of the
lamentable waste of time and money
caused by prolongation of fight against
the inevitable.

Mexico's New President.

General Carranza, First Chief Of the
Mexican revolutionary movement, has be
come President Carranza of the Mexican
Republic. His tenure and title are pro
vis;onal Yet in the judgment of the other
American powers he has made good his
claim to recognition as the head Of the
only established government in Mexico 10
which the country as whole can look
for a general restoration OF peace and
order.
II Is TO the interest of the other Ameri-
can powers, and especially TO the interest
of the United States. that the people Of
Mexico shall have q chance 20 recuperate,
to readjust themselves to the results of the
revolution, TO return to industry and 10
make good the losses caused TO foreigner
by two years Of military license anil
anarchy. There must be a new Mexico.
Economic progress slew the old order,
maintained long beyond its time by the
velvet handed despotsm Of Porfirio Diaz.
1t would be foolish TO think of returning
to the archaic political system which on =
man power under Diaz kept alive. The
Mexican people have decreed q broader
form of government, and though 1t may be
for a time weaker form, the influences
which will make it at once broader and
weaker cannot now be arrested.
General Carranza assumes enormous
responsibilities in accepting recognition
as the head Of the Mexican government.
He must restore order and prosperity at
home and at the same time meet diplo-
matte pressure for the payment OF enor-
nous foreign claims arising out of the
revolution. He must reorganize Mexico's
/ finances, in itself task for a great ad-
minlstrator. 1t would be rash TO believe
that he will conquer all, or even most, Of
his difficulties. But some one must face
these difficulties, and Carranza is mani

ARMENIA"
Thanks from Representatives OF
Prosecuted Race.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: We wish 10 express our heartfelt
thanks for the mastery editorial In your
issue OF October on Armenia" and for
championing generally the cause OF our un-
fortunate race IN Armenia under the Turkish
rule.
At the present moment. when Armenians
throughout the United States are rendered
sullen by despair with hearts bursting with
grief at the determination and the terrible
massacre to which our race in Armenia has
been subjected, We cannot but note wi1a
gratitude every kind word that is appearing
in friendly newspaper.
Much has been said in the last decade
about the suffering Aimenians; much has
been recorded in the history Of the nations
about the deeds and the endurance OF this
Christian race Of Asia Minor. but these Ut
terances have sunk into insignifcance with
the tumultuous everyday news Low coming
from the battlefield Of Europe. And yet, In
spite of this, IL is the able press that stirs
the public opinion and srouses the sentiment
Of the people Of the United States TO help
20 save the remnants Of the victims and TO
extend an uplifting hand 10 the hopeless
Armenians. And 10 such able press We
send our sincere thanks and gratitude.
