Chemists Are Working Night and Day on Preparations for

WORMS ARE BEING USED

LAUSANNE, Oct. g. - German chemists are working night and day Co invent new foods. One has a process for extracting grease from certain mushrooms. Another has made experiments with a little worm found in vinegar and called scien- tificaly "Anguilla Aceu." These worms are plump and contain grease when fed with certain substances They multiply very rapidly and mil lions can be raised in a small Quan- tity of vinegar.
 The chemist proposes to start a factory for extracting the ias from this worm, which would be treated as in cocoanut grease. To his detrac- tors the scientist replies: You eat pork enclosed in a piece of pigs Intestine with the greatest pleas ure. Why make faces at the grease from a pretty little white trans parent worm DO

 Mrs. Lewis intimated that the Democrats had disposed of Delegate Wickersham. having covered his of- flcial record, so she devoted some time to the candidacy of Senator sulzer for referring to my oppo- nent instead Of my opponents" in his Douglas speech.
 Mrs. Lewis, too, devoted some lit. tie attention to National politics, aud attempted to demonstrate that the Democrats as well as the Re- publicans are seryitors of capital ism"

ALBERT JOHNSON IS
 NOT CAMPAIGNING IN
 ALASKA FOR DELEGATE

Congressman Albert Johnson, of HoQulam, in an interview given the Valdez Prospector, denied that he was in Alaska campaigning for Dele gate James Wickersham. He said that he came to Alaska primarily to Investigate the Ketchikan fresh fish proposition.
 Concerning the statement that had been printed that he was in Alas ka campaigning for Delegate Wick ersham, he said:
 q am not travelling with Judge Wickersham. happened to take the boat with him west from Ju- neau. Neither am campaigning for him, as has been printed. How ever I am glad to put in a good word for him whenever l can. As a matter of fact, if the law only permitted Alaska should have not less than three Delegates in Con- gross. The area of the Territory is so great, and its interests are SO diversified. that 1t is actually impossible for one Delegate-I care not who he may be-to come any where near pleasing all of the peo- pie all of the time'
 Believes Tariff Would Settle Flsh
 Problem
 Speaking of the fisheries question, MT. Johnson, in the same interview said:
 CT came to Alaska to make study of tEe halibut controversy and spent a week at Ketchlkan hearing statements from all sides That matter is bound to occupy the atten- ton of Congress at the winter ses- sion. In my opinion, if fish had not been placed on the free list by the Underwood low tariff act we would not see the halibut industry being absorbed by Prince Rupert. where the fish are purchased by a subsidized cold storage company, sent east on a government owned

REPORT BREMEN CAPTURED TAKEN
 OFF THE COAST

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. -(spec- iaD-A report has been received in official quarters in Washington that the German submarine Bremen has been captured by British naval fore es off the east coast of Scotland.
 The Bremen, according to the re- port, now is held at the British na- val base, Rosyth, at the mouth of the river Perth.
 Information contained in the re- port received here indicated that the British naval forces employed mammoth steel nets to trap the Bre- men. These nets, officials said they were informed, were 15O feet long and 165 feet deep and were equip ped with attached contact bombs calculated to explode and burst the plates of the submarine that fell

prompt announcement of submarine captures.
 Report Still Doubted
 One fact that led some officials to await direct word from the Brit ish government before accepting to. days report on the Bremen as au- lucrative was that two other re- ports concerning the missing subma- rlue circulated in the last few days have proved hoaxes.
 One of these reports sent to Ger man papers was that the Bremen had landed at New London. Respon- sibility for spreading this informa- ton, designed to arouse false hopes in Berlin, has been charged 10 Brit ish sources. The other report that said llfebelt from the Bremen had been found off the Maine coast was declared a hoax after inyesti- gation today.
 The Bremen is a sister ship of the Deutschland which made an epoch al trip to Baltimore and back 10 Germany, eluding British and French patrols on the American and Brit. ish coasts

into the trap.
 Crew May Have Perished
 No word has been received as to the fate of the Bremen's crew, but if the circumstances Of the capture are SO stated in the report the crew in all probability perished when the boat was trapped.
 Officials giving out the informa- tion would not state the source or the report and would not vouch for its authenticity. Naval officers, how ever, were inclined to credit the report, as they believe the Bremen, which is long overdue, would have been heard from long before this if 1t had not been captured.
 Just why thes British government has not announced the capture of the Bremen, if 1t has really been captured, the officials are unable Go say. It is pointed out however, that the British admiralty has main tained silence as Co its campaign to trap submarines, believing the psychological effect of compelling the Germans to worry over overdue boats aids British plans better than

TEN MINES IN
 T0LOvANA ARE
 YIELDING GOLD
Gold Bearing GraveIS De- cur in Streams and on
 Many Buried
 Channels

WASHINGTON, Oct. G.-The geo. logical survey has recently issued 8 report on the Tolovana district Central Alaska, in which the facts known about the district are set forth and the general relations ll- lustrated by map.
 During 1914 and 1915 hundreds of persons, attracted by the reported finding of gold in the headwater re- zion of Tolovana river rushed into the district, and systematic mining began there during the summer of 1915.
 Although considerable prospecting was done, only about ten mines were conner lilly i--.actiyep but these made q C.lG output to the value of SS1UyJ. Goll-becr!ns gray els occur .i the Deus or the pres ent strea.. .n --..aG channels, and in bench Cravcr, but most of the gold has been won from the deep chaG.-.j oL L.Vcngooi Creek, which have proved to be far richer than either the stream or the bench placers.
 Some shallow placers also have yielded gold, n..aDly v- Alice creek, but only p-1spcct- have been found in the benches
 The annual statement on the pro- duction Of gold, silver and copper in Alaska in 1915 is now available for distribution by the geolog'ca survey. The value of the total min eral output of Alaska during the year is stated as $82,S54,229, as compared with S19,S54,666 for 1914.

Almost complete returns from the territorial cleo fion received from Fairbanks at 3:3O O clock yes terdav afternoon indicate the elechon ot Charles A. Sulzer the Democratic candidate for delegate to congress, by small plurality over Wlckersham Contrary to expectations, the Fourth dvlslon seems 10 have given Sulzer plurality, and this, with the substantial lead of Sulzer in his home dlvlslon the First, seems to make his election sure. There are several small precincts yet to hear from, and these may change the result, although 1t IS tar to presume that Sulzer will at least hold his own in the beated returns Crigsby, Democratic candidate tor attorney oeneraI has safe lead over his Republican oppo- nent
 The returns from the Fourth division make cer- tain the election of Senator Dan Sutherland over Tom McGowan for the territorial senatorshp, and the success of the following candidates for the lower house: Burns Oem.), Hess Dem), Ner- land (Wickersham Ind j. and Snow Qnd)
