WORK STOPPED ON
 ST. ELIAS LIGHTHOUSE

The Valdez Prospector of July Si, says that according to reports of men who have been employed on the con- struction of the lighthouse at Cape St Elias. the appropriation for that pur- pose has been exhausted and the work has been stopped. No further work can be done on the lighthouse, It is said, until another appropriation has been made, and the lighthouse, which was supposed to have been completed this fall, will not be finish ed until next summer.
 The St Elias light, as planned, will be one of the most powerful lights on the coast and also it is one of the most necessary aids to navigation and the lack of this light will be felt by mariners if the reports of work having been stopped are true.

SUBJECT OF THE MlkADO CREATES SERIOUS TROUBLE
 IN NEGOTIATING A LOAN

According to the story told to Com industrious little Japanese resident of Iditarod, the business methods of Cling tally very closely with the accepted commercial ethics in vogue in this country. As d result oi a mix-up which occurred in the cabin of Wada recently Ekeda is nursing q rather bad cut inflicted with an ax in the hands of Wada and the latter contrib uted 5 and costs on charge of as- sault, to which he pleaded guilty. A charge of assault with deadly wea- pon previously had been filed, but the principals being the only witnesses, the defendant was allowed to plead to
 .., l~ss serious charge because of the lact that it would have been difficult to ascertain the facts on the graver charge had it come to trial. The Idi- tarod Pioneer tells the details of the case as follows:
 Wadl told the commissioner that some days ago Ekeda came to him to negotiate loan of S100, with which he desired to swing a business deal. Wada declined to accommodate him and Ekeda threatened him with all manner of ills, among which were such ,rifies as raiding the hiding place where he kept his poke" and setting fire to his domicile while Wada slept. Wada alleges that the importunties of his fellow subject of the mikado were renewed on later occasion, as were also the threats. On Saturday morn ing last, according to Wada, Ekeda, appeared at his (Wada's) cabin and renewed his demands for money. An altercation ensued, which finally re- suited in Wada seizing an ax and in- ficting an ugly flesh wound in Ekeda's side. Wada claimed that the latter ottChipteu tO etoSaull lllIll NllD a and he used the ax in self defense.
 The victim of the cutting was im- mediately removed to the Crosby Baths, and Dr. Auringer was sum moned. The latter found that the wound was not of a serious nature, and the patient is able to be around again.
 Ekeda's story was to the effect that he called on Wada for the purpose of effecting a reconciliation, and he blam- ed the latter for the commencement of hostilities.

TELLING THE TRUTH.

It is neither pleasant nor profitable to tell the truth in the columns of a newspaper, says the Publishers Aux Hilary. Men who have tried this have invariably come to grief Only a few days ago the editor of a paper got tired of being called liar and an- nouneed that he would tell the truth in the future, and the netx issue of his paper contained the following:
 John Bonin, the laziest man in town, made a trip to the city yesterday"
 John Coyle. our groveryman, is do- ing poor business. His store is dir ty and his stock poor. How can he expect to do much?"
 Our ball team would be a good one if we had a new pitcher, catcher, a few basemen and some fielders. Other wise they are all right, though they drank too much at their recent game in Bellville to expect to play ball"

NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 6. 1916.

The importance of the Roumanian entry into the war IS already becom- ing apparent in the victorious advance or the military forces of the diminu- tlve Balkan state toward the heart of one of the richest and most populous sections of the Austrian empire.
 If the reports may be trusted, the Roumanians are pouring into Hungary through practically every accessible avenue ot entry along the border and with every step of their advance mark ed by continuous victories over the opposing Austrians. Following along the line of the railroad routes they have penetrated many miles within the Austrian boundries, capturing sev- eral important towns and apparently over coming the Austrian resistence with comparative ease. Austria has already admitted the abandonment of Hermanstadt, one of the largest and most important towns in southern Austria together with other communi- ties of prominence, thereby confirm ing in no small degree the conclusion that sine is practically unable to offer an effective resistence to the onrush- ing Slavs.
 The objective of military movements Is, of course, rather difficult to de- termine and Il may be possible that the Austrians are conducting their op- erations with a view to leading the Roumanians into the more accessible sections north of the Mares before attempting to deal d shattering blow. It is much more reasonable deduc- ton, however, that she is totally un- able to muster a sufficiently powerful force to stay the the Roumanian CO., horts.
 Driven to the limits of her resist tive ability in holding back the mighty forces of the czar, it is extremely doubtful if she dare to deplete her Galacian lines to meet the newer dan ger rising like a cloud of doom in the south. Unless the Russian reports are deliberately false, Austria has far more than she can do to prevent the Slavic hosts along her eastern bor- defs rom sweeping in a torrential flood over Galicia into Hungary. De- spite her deprecating reports it is clearly apparent that she is fighting with all her strength to prevent the Russian invasion from becoming a rout that will sweep the dual empire to de- struction.
 The few meager reports emanating from the Vienna war office disclose with certainty that Austria is fight ing losing battle in the east and is constantly retreating before the tre- mendous blows from the Russian fail. Under such circumstances it is prac- hcally certain that she is crowding all her available fighting units into the defending eastern line and has few if auy reserve forces that may be safely diverted to the defense of the rich and populous Pennsylvania section.
 At best it hardly appears possible for her 10 present an effective fight ing force to match the three hundred or more thousand excellently trained and equipped warriors that Roumania has, or can, place in the field The entrance of Roumania appears in every way to have placed the Aus trians in a position of serious jeopardy that is bordering close upon disaster. Unless Germany is able to lend as- sistance it appears very likely that a few weeks will find Austria in most desperate straits. With Italy tearing

at her most vulnerable point in the west and with the mighty Russian wave slowly engufing her in the east, the Roumanian invasion appears very much like the last straw needed to break down the backbone of her de- fense and clear the way for utter dis comfiture.

america First and america Efficient"
Mr. HUGHES CONG STRONG.

THE further Charles E. Hughes goes the stronger he
becomes. The morning after he delivered his speech
accepting the Republican nomination for president
he big Democratic organs said that while he made a saw
age attack upon the foreign and Mexican policies of the
administration. that did not amount to anything because
be did not tell just what he would have done if he had
been N MI. Wilson's place. They knew that Mr.. Hughes
could not go any further than he did; that it would be
thel heighths of improperly for hin to discuss our relations
with other governments upon the stump, but they chose
10 suppress their knowledge Of that fact and substitute a
sneer for intelligent comment upon the speech and the
speaker.
Of course the small fry Democratic papers followed
suit and they have been playing that one tune ever since.
But they will soon have to change il. Mr.. Hughes con-
tnles his criticism of the supine attitude Of the administra-
don on practically all questions that reach beyond the Dor
der and involve the rights Of Americans and the national
honor. but he is day by day devoting more attention to
questions that strike nearer home, and to ignore this phase
Of he campaign much longer will amount to a confession.
The most carping critic will find it impossible to say that
there IS anything vague about what Mr.. Hughes has to
say! regarding the administrations fragrant disregard of the
civil service laws; of the essential immortality of the pork
bills which have been pushed through Congress by the
Democratic majority; of the startling extravaganza that
has been the characteristic of that majority in almost every
one Of Its relations to the public veal. Nor is there any
mi,taking Mr.. Hughes meaning when he tells what he
will do about-it if he is elected.
What MIR. Hughes is saying about these things cannot
be- ignored. The Democratic newspapers may attempt TO
do 90. but the voters are busy and pretty soon the country
WILDE ringing with the specific indictments of the Wilson
administration and specific promises Of the Republican
candidate to remedy the situation.

perors and her Italian vasssls do not make pretty reading.
Once m. the Italians discovered that they had embarked
upon a grim business. Moreover they were still smaitins
from the wounds sustained IN Abyssinias and IN the more
recent war with the Turk. But they had confidence IN
the quiet and efficient cadoma, in their new equipment
and IN the men who were about 10 go into the trenches.
The capture Of Goitz and the breaking up Of the Aus
trian offensive proves that their confidence was not i'll
placed and it opens the road to further successes which
they hope will lead to their holding when peace negota-
tons begin much territory they have long felt should be
under Italian control. Then there is the other side. If
Austria held Italian territory when the end came the
price Italy would have been compelled to pay would have
been staggering indeed.
Italy played a desperate game for high stakes and won.
No wonder the volatile Italian spirit scars all over the
world. including the coal towns Of West Virginia.

vacancies to fill there is every prospect that MIR. Meredith

But as matters stood it was deemed just and proper to

on the supreme bench, and that narrowed the contest down
to one place and a field of six or seven candidates,

A FOLLOWS FLOOD.\

MAN has been fighting food with all his strength and
lVl all his cunning since the beginning. And every time
he relaxes his vigilance food oyercomes him. There
fore there is nothing new about the torrent that this week
swept down from the highlands through narrow valleys
cut ages ago by Cabin creek. Coal river and other streams
that flow into the Kanawha. There isn't anything new
in the dangers of epidemic and famine that follow in the
wake of the deluge. And no new lessons are taught or
new morals indicated.
There is a slight deviation from the usual course of such
disasters, however, in the prompt application of organized
relief made possible by the presence near the scene Of sol.
diers Of the state. But for the supplies that were hurried
into the stricken region by them it is probable that some
of the thousands who fed to the hills to avoid the rush
of waters would have persisted.
The militia is being ably seconded in its rescue and relief
efforts by the railroad and coal corporations and the bust
ness and charity organizations Of the cities in that section
Of the state, but the problem and the need that confronts
them is huge and it may turn out to be more than they
can handle without the assistance of the rest Of the state.
