= ALL-ALASKA REVIEW "
= COMES OUT MONDAY. "

The second or June issue of the
All-Alaska Review will be on sale
Monday. The second issue features
the railroad and various matters con-
nected with the Undertaking. The
finest illustrations of Anchorage yet
to be seen anywhere have been secur-
ed at great expense. One of these
cuts gives a panoramic view of the
new city across two pages of the Re
view and another gives the whole rail
road route with distances marked and
the hole country described in detail.
Articles of an instructive kind have
been secured from some of the most
prominent men of the territory, par
ticularly articles on the new mining
laws. The general news of Alaska IS
also featured and the condensed news
of each camp, which is proving to be
the most interesting department ever
published in any Alaskan publication,
has been carefully attended to. A new
department has also been added. This
is a reproduction of the opinions Of
Alaska on all the important subjects
such as government, politics, prohibi-
ton and othe, questions. On the
whole no better souvenir of the new
Alaska could be imagined.

CORDOYA WILL NOT
PLAY SEWARD TEAM.
Impossible to Secure Team in that
City at Present for the
Fourth of July.

A letter was received from the
manager of the CordOva baseball
team yesterday, stating that it will
be impossible to get a team in that
city that could make any showing
against Seward on July a, so there
will be no inter-urban game here on
that date, most likely. The chances
are. though, that if the two Seward
teams were pitted against each other
for some sort Of a prize we should
have a better game than could be ex-
pected from any visiting team, as
visiting teams, in such cases, are hard
to get and are usually made up OF
scrubs anyhow. What's the matter
with letting bygones be bygOnes and
give our own two teams the chance
70 prove who's who finally. Individ-
ual prizes for the winning team might
be in order.

Germans have now started moving great bodies Of troops

while compelling the British to put forth their most
mighty efforts to stay the avalanche which all expect to
be let loose in France and Belgium Very little hope is
entertained in British military circles that the Russians

earlier STAGES of the conflict While the office refuses
to give out any news as to the movement OF British troops

DRIVES CARRANZA FORCES
FROM CAPITAL AND is NOW
IN FULL POSSESSION.

VERA CRUZ, June 25.-The
Zapataistas have driven the Carranza-
istas from Mexico City and are now
reported to be in full possession.
After the artillery duel reported yes
terday, it is said, the Zapata forces
attacked the outer parts Of the city
and drove in the enemy. Later the
pesiegers advanced but their oppon-
ents apparently decided not to try to
hold the capital, either because they
were loath to have it wrecked or be-
cause they feared being surrounded,
They retreated into the open country
and are believed to be marching in
this direction but this cannot be
vouched for.

NEW YORK, June 25.-The testi-

Thaw this afternoon showed con-
clusively that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
was not a virtuous woman before she
met Stanford White and that, there
fore, Thaw had no right to shoot
White with the excuse that he had
brought the woman to shame. The
evidence during the whole afternoon
dealt with this phase of the subject.
The prosecution mercilessly exposed
the wretched woman and evidently

WILL ANCHORAGE
BE INCORPORATED?

The question has arisen as to
whether Anchorage can be incOrporat-
ed or not after the sale of lots. 1t is
stated that the people over there have
decided to incorporate and run their
own municipal affairs instead of hav-
ing them under the control of the fed
eral government. The question as to
the ability to incorporate comes from
the fact that most of the real property
will probably not have been fully paid
for until the lapse of the FIVE years
period.

REFUND OF $1,000
IN COAL CASE.

Word has been received by the
Juneau Land Office from the secretary
of the interior that a refund of $1,6OU
will be made in the case of G. c.
Britton who was refused patent on
coal claims which he purchased in tho
Bering River district. The case was
approved by the Register and Receiv-
er and was reversed by the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office.
Britton then appealed to the Secretary
of the Interior and, notice of the re-
fund has been made. Upon inyestiga-
ton by the government it was found
that the claims which BrittOn mad pur-
chased were not coal lands, and the
patent was therefore refused.

ALASKA NORTHERN WILL BE
TURNED OVER IN SPITE
OF LITIGATION.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Discuss-
ing the suit to secure portion of the
proceeds of the sale of the Alaska
Northern railway by those interested
in the old Alaska Central railway
Secretary of Interior Franklin h.
Lane said that it will in no wise affect
the governments interest in the tran
saction.
1T is a suit" said Mr.. Lane, "be-
tween parties who are interested in
the division of the purchase price, and
there is no question raised as to the
legality Of the transfer Of the Alaska
Northern to the government.
1T appears to me that those who
brought suit are not satisfied with the
arrangement made for the division of
the proceeds, and fear that they will
not get their just share of the money
to be paid by the government. 1t will
not, therefore, interfere with the gov
ernments plan for the purchase of the
road. The government will turn the
purchase price over to a receiver, if
the court appoints one, and will take
title just as if no suit had been
brought"
