ATLANTIC SHIPS DISAPPEAR

NEW YORK; Dec 29-ConStenation has been once more created in shipping circles by the information that at least half dozen ships have disappeared in the Allan tic and may have been the victims of German raider The liner Noare is one of the vessels missing and in ad- dition are four big British eghtes which are overdue a considerable time and have not reported. The four
 eghtes are the Georgic the BeIerophon the Belgrave and the Bayreut One Belgian ship the Baron BaeyenS, is also missing and unreported and she has also probably suffered the fate of the others The leaders in shipping cces here are convinced that German raider operat ing in the Atlantic somewhere in the middle of the and that sic is of the type of the MoeWe which sank or captured so many vessels in the Atlantic last spring The raider is most likely the seen off the coast O. Scotland and taken for Dutch vessel of the same name The secrecy surrounding the sailing of British ships from American ports has been made close since the pub action of the that the ships named are missing ano some saings will probably be cancelled until is learn ed that the raider has ceased her operations The radng is not attributed to submarines all and it IS likely that the crews were saved if the vessels really sunk

FIRE AT VALDEZ

Prospector, Dec 9. - Fire broke out this morning shortly after 2 o'clock in the Arctic Hotel on the corner of Keystone and Hobart street, and owned by Mrs. Herman Syring. The fire had gained considerable headway when first discovered SC that the entire interior of the house was filled with a dense smoke when the inmates were aroused by the alarm. Several of the lodgers, un- able to get out by the regular means leaped from their windows. Later some of them went back and secured their clothing, but two were unable to reach their rooms and were com pelled to seek sufficient attire to cover themselves from their friends.
 The fire started in the rear of the building and had broken through and was burning briskly when the alarm sounded. The fire department re- sconded promptly and soon had two streams on the burning building. ThI fire was a difficult one to subdue, the flames having got in between the par titions and spread in all directions In the effort to extinguish them the fuilding was thoroughly flooded witt water, anI the most serious damage to the contents of the building is due to the water.

COMMISSIONER IS CANNED

U. S. Commissioner Lee Van Slyke of Susitna station, has been relieved from the duties of his office. Mir. Van Slyke was supposedly a Democrat, and there is nothing on the records to show that he was ill or otherwise detained from voting on election day, but the returns from his precinct show a solid Wickersham vote. This may or may not have had something to do with his enforced resignation. It is also rumored that some other officials in this division holding office under democratic administration, as democrats, may share a similar fate in the near future.-Prospector.

WHAT SETH MANN SAID
 ABOUT ALASKA k. k.

In a speech recently before the AL aska Bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce Seth Mann, President
 Wilson's representative in the big tour to Alaska some years ago said Alaska should have a more generous form of self government and it is made evident in many ways that his suggestions were followed by the ad- ministration. The following is an ac-
 lount of his most redent statement in he Seattle Post-Inteligencer:
 Mr. Mann, who was President Will sons personal representative on the Seattle Chamber of Commerce's trip 70 Alaska three years ago, said that grip served to emphasize the import tnce of Alaska to the nation at large, .c that Alaska and it's development IS
 omcthing to which we can give ou" lt,rLtion.
 "In my report to President Wilson made after that trip" said Mir. Mann,
 said that Alaska could not be de- yeloped without a railroad, and that no such road could be built by priv Ite capital, and that there was a pre- cedent for the government undertak-
 ng the building of such a road in its building of railroad ahoss the lsthmus of Panama.
 "That project having been launched the question which now remains to be determined is: What is the best method by which to develope it's coal fields, and you here are better capable of advising as to that than anyboOy else.
 "We may expect a great commerce with that territory as a result of the development of that great territory's resources, so I regard it as day of for the people of AL aska and Seattle, and in fact of the entire world that Alaska's commerce has already increased upward of 30 per cent, and that 40 per cent. would be better measure of the commerce between Seattle and Alaska in the short time since the national govern ment has evinced an interest in land whose treasures have been too long ;ept locked up.
 The activity of the federal govern ment is a demonstration of the gov ernments interest in the territory and its people, and the confidence it's ac- tion has inspired throughout the country, and on the coast as well as in the interior of Alaska has vOuch- safed and guaranteed its future.
 "The congratulations We feel that the development of Alaska is assured have become mutual. The problems of details are now in your hands as to schools, fisheries and land laws, and the responsibility concerning these is now largely yours"
 Mir. Mann then said that the idea had already been advanced by Secre- tary of the Interior Franklin Lane for a local administration of Alaska through branch government located in the territory and which would make unnecessary the delays in the settlement of questions now required because they must be referred to the various bureaus in Washington.
 "In the old days of the Russian government of Alaska the cry used to be st. Petersburg and heaven are a long way apart" said MT. Mann, smilingly, "but in our day it has been and is Washington and Alaska are a long way apart, and with but little of heaven until recently"
