The Chair Is not too modest to put
that notion" said Mr., Harding.
National Committeeman McGregor Of

were thanked for their good work, and
thanked Mayor Thompson Of Chicago
for his various Inequalities.
Chairman Harding announced that he
had conveyed to the nominee for Presi-
dent the congratulations OF the conven.
ton. AND that Justice Hushes's ac-
ceptance by telegraph was on the way.
Senator Harding's announcement
really meant that the convention had
been marking time until II was definitely
known that Justice Hughes would take
the nomination. Otherwise, the slate
would have been wiped clean and an at
tempt made to select somebody else.
Mr.. Harding said that Justice
Hughes's acceptance and statement

Wickersahm as Republican Nominee

A Juneau dispatch in the Nome Nugget of January l9 says that it is generally pre- dicted at the territorial capital that Wick er.ham will be the nominee of the Repub- Gcan convention for delegate The reason given for this opinion is that there IS every nrosnect of an amalgamation of the ShackIe- ford Wickersham forces in the First dlvl- sion, which, combined with the Wicker, sham strength in the Fourth division, WI. vely likely give the delegate preponder- ance of favor in the convention that will be overcome only with the greatest difficulty It is known that Heron is trying to handle the convention. but it Is not believed that he will prevail, owing to the fact that chackleford and others. who were hereto fore in opposition to Wickersham, have de cided that they will not oppose hm th'S time, having recognized his strength as head of the ticket.

Seattle Editors Views

SEATTLE Jan. 26.-Scott c. Bone, editor of the Post -Intellgencer, who went to Chl- ;ago to attend the meeting of the Repub- Ican national committee, sums up the po- Itical situation, so far as the Republican party is concerned in wire to hls paper, published today He says:
 'The three Americans popularly appraised AS best fitted and most available tor the leadership of the party during the coming national contest are Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court; eX-Presldent Theodore Roosevelt and former Senator Root. They are definitely effaced from pre- limnary campaigning, but all serious point ;cal discussion and speculation still revolVe about and center upon this trio of great Americans. The forecast made by many at the present time omits one Of them from consideration. Exlgency and expectancy continue to keep the name of Justice Hughes foremost among those mentioned, notWlth- standing the fact that he has repeatedly declared he would not make the run.
 The editor says there IS little doubt that both wings of the party will be reunited and that all differences of the past will be forgotten

NAII, FOR KUSKOKWIf1
 LEAVES WITH REGULARITY

The volunteer mail service lnaugurated by the residents of the lower huskokWlln country some time ago has proved great success, and the mail fer that region has been delivered with more regularity thlS winter than ever before It was the inten- ticn at its inception to give seml-monthly service, and so far this has been accom- plished. Instead of waiting for the monthly service from Holy Cross to Bethel, the Kuskokwim people now receive thelr mall via Iditarod, and the added service Is Of much benefit It is the belief of the peopl" of that district that a showing sufficient to warrant the postal authorities in giving them a regular mail service from ldltarod will be made.
 Harry Nonogaki, the wellknown Jap anese, who is prospecting in the Bear creek district, was the last man to take out the mail. He left for kolmakof last Sunday. where Duke F.. Stubbs takes charge of it. The latter is temporarily residing at Kolma<of, but will return to the Anlak m the spring

CONDITICN OF WOMAN
 FROZEN ON LONG TRAIL
CRubv Record-Citizen, Feb. 12)

Mrs. Gussie Bolan, the woman who last week badly froze her hands and feet, IS now under the care of Dr. Conley in the hospital at Long The doctor cannot yet determine the amputation necessary but it is thought that both feet will have to be taken of above the ankles, end that the fingers of both hands will have to be taken off. Everything possible Is being done to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate woman.
 A letter was received this week from W, Fred Swanson of Fourth of July creek, dis claiming credit for finding and caring for Mrs. Bolan, the publication of which IS made unnecessary by the following note ot par ticulars from w. E. Heron of the Salatna roadhouse:
 q was told by Billy Evans, coming from Poorman, that Mrs. Bolan left Poorman about 5 D. m. the night before she was found on the river, which was at about 1230 D. m. Her story, told to Mike Me Carty of Spruce, while nursing her the sec ond night is corroborated by her tracks. According to her story, she left Poorman for Long City, and when reaching the Salatna river she saw the row of posts, set to turn people away rom all oNelho"' III Ai'A i sane condition she believed there was trap set to catch her, and she told McCarty she was not going to be caught, Hence she walked around outside the posts and tell over the river bank. In trying to cross the river she encountered the overflow and re. turned to the place where she was found by my barn man, about noon, with both hands frozen, also both feet
 "Henry and had her feet and hands in a tub when c. K. Snow happened to drop in from Fourth of July creek. He cer- tainly deserves credit for his assistance :; and also Mike McCarty Fred Swanson and his partner They stayed three nights and did everything in their power to relieve her pain. There were more than half dozen others here who offered their services in case they were needed"

ToIoyana to Produce a Million

The Fairbanks News Miner says that at no time since pay was struck in the TClo- vana district has the outlook been as good as at the present time. It Is now conserv- atively estimated by mining and business men who are in touch with conditions that tEc output of the Tolovana will be at least d million dollars during the year 1916. This amount is expected to come from Liven- good and Olive creeks elane, and if others show up as well as indicated now, it will be somewhat larger. This estimate of a million dollars IS not on prospects, but Is made of the known pay that has been found. According to enc man who IS interested ex- tensively, and who has made a careful ex- animation of the various properties, Gus Peterson al 5ne could take out nearly half million dollars during the coming summer if he cared to put on a large enough crew. He has the pay and IS in position to han Gle it if he cared to rush matters.

Horrible Accident at Seward

The left foot of John Johnson, fireman on the steamer Dora, was torn off at the ankle yesterday morning when his limb got caught in loop of the rope with which the boat was being tied up at the dock, says the Seward Gateway of January 31. The rope circled around the shin and frightened as it went through the chauk drawing the leg with it. The chauk is the hole in the side of a ship through which ropes are run. Coming to this hole, the foot was dragged in, and as it was too large to pass through, 1t was torn of at the ankle. It fell into the bay still encased in its shoe. The un- fortunate sufferer evidently had stepped into one of the loops of the rope as it lay on the deck and was being played out as the boat moved Johnson met the accident with real grit He never lost consciousness and is said to have instructed those around to get rope and tie up the limb to prevent too much bleeding He was taken to the Pioneer hospital and Drs Romig and Sloan amputated the leg about a third of the way up to the knee The young man comes from Seattle.
