GERMANS NOT CHARGEABLE
 WITH BURNING OF HOPEWELI

PETERSBURG, Va. Dec. 10.-The fire which entirely destroyed the Dupont Pow der Company's boom town of Hopewell last night was started by an upturned oil stove, from which the blaze spread with amazing quickness. There is no doubt about the origin of the fire and this fact removes all suspicion that the pro-German elements were responsible. It is the third fire re- corded in relation to this company within a month.
 The town had twenty-five thousand inhab- itants, and had sprung up in few months because of the immense number of men en- ployed in the work of making war muni- tions. It was composed almost entirely of frame buildings, and the fire ran through it almost like prairie fire, no time hay ing been given since the establishment of the town to the furnishing of Lighting ap- paratus.
 Scenes of wild disorder now prevail, and already one negro has been lynched and two white men have been shot for footing.

DAWSON'S WINTER WEATHER
 kIILDEST IN ITS HISTORY

DAWSON, Dec 9-The mildest and most uniform winter weather in the his tory of the klondike is being experienced, but the snowfall has been one of the heaviest known here. The thermometer has seldom registered below zero The river closed at Yukon Crossing only last week
 The mild weather has greatly delayed individual winter mining most of the op orators having to wait for cold weather to freeze the wet creeks so that holes can be sunk to advantage In the new Rude creek camp where hundreds are said to be build ing cabins, only few have started to sink shafts No pay is reported, as hardly any body has reached bedrock yet.
 Two of the dredges belonging to the Boyle company are still operating during the daylight hours on the Klondke river. One of them which recently was over hauled, may be worked all winter It IS believed that operations will be possible even when the thermometer registers 20 or 30 degrees below zero, without inter ference. The record for late operations on the creek was made when the Boyle No l dredge shut down last week because of lack of powder.

 TO FIND BODY OF BOULLET

Word brought by recent arrivals from the Kuskokwim country is to the effect tLat Al Walsh is engaged in systematic effort to locate the body of Oscar Bouliet, who is believed to have perished in the Aniat river near its mouth cn October 20 last, or to have wandered off into the wilderness during a temporary alteration of mind and have become a victim of hunger or cold.
 MT. Walsh, who recently left here for the Kuskokwim to visit his quartz properties Tn that section, is engaged with Duke E. Stubbs, United States commissioner at Anlak Tn erecting a contrlvance on the rVer with which it is hoped to locate the body of the missing man when the breakup occurs. 1t is patterned after fshtrap, and Is to be placed at the mouth of the river.
 There is now no hope that BOulet has survived. It will be remembered that on the date mentioned MT Boulet, while cross ing the Aniak in small boat, was preclpl- ;tated into the icy waters. The accident oc- cured near the Stubbs home, and Mrs. Stubbs endeavored to pass matches to hlm across the river by attaching them to the lcollar of one of Boullet's dogs so that he might make fire and dry his clothing. It is supposed that she was unsuccessful, and Boulet either attempted to recross the river or make his way to Bear creek, thirty miles away. In either event he must Lave per ished, as nothing has since been heard from him

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
 FAVORED BY BURLESON

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-The report of Postmaster General Burleson, submit ted yesterday. contains recommendations for government ownership of number ot important public utilities, among them be ing the telephone and telegraph liens.
 Among other recommendations is one that the parcel post weight limit be in- creased the reason given being that half of the postal business of the United States during the past year was done under par eel post regulations and the postmaster general feels that such business should be encouraged by the government.
 The report states that the war in Europe has cost the postal department of the United States the enormous sum of S21,- 000,000 The economics practiced have reduced what otherwise would have proved to be an enormous deficit in the earnings of the department to S11,000,000.

The dispatches state that Berlin has given itself over to merry making be cause of the announcement that ample sup plies of grain may now be expected.

In letter to Postmaster I. H. Deal of Fairbanks, c. Ellis Gardner, who formerly was an assistant in the district attorney s office, states that he has arrived at his old home in Burnsville N. c. He also states that the old home town has improved greatly during the two years he spent Tn Alaska, and that he Is content to settle down and travel no more.
 Since his arrival home MT.

His son, who also is an attorney, IS associated with Mir Gardner, and when the letter WAS written the firm was just completing the construction of new office building.
 Mir. Gardner states that his reception home was warm one. All the people of the vicinity in which he lives are anxious to know more of Alaska, and, accordingly, he has been invited to lecture on several oc casions, with Alaska as his subject. He had been too busy to lecture when his let ter was written, but stated that he would take every opportunity afforded after he gets settled.

EDrTARCD'S ANDY CARNEGIE
 REACHES COAST TERMINAL
Steward Gateway, Dec. g

Edward j. Uhl. who operates one of the largest machine shops in lCltarod, arrived yesterday by dog team on his early winter trip Outside, and brings word of new method employed in Idtarod for prospect ing in frozen ground. The old method of using a heavy boiler, weighing about 450 pounds has been superseded by the hot water pump method, which weighs about thirty pounds and is very convenient. A large Hat pan of water IS placed on an open fire and the hot water pumped into pipes and forced into the frozen ground. This method has been found to be more efficient than the old steam way.
 The strike made on HQrsetly creek re- gently has brought out about eighty men, and many of them have gone back for ma terials and tools for working the ground this winter. Frank Dawson, well known oper- ator of Iditsrod, has found nuggets on the creek and its tributaries weighing dollar and over.
 MT. Uhl states that Iditarod is enjoying good times, and expresses the belief that the gold output this year will be far in advance of the output of last year MT. Uhl makes the trip to the States to purchase supplies and will return to Iditarod early next March via Seward
 He says that the trail between Iditarod and Ophir has been completed, and affords much better travelling facilities between the two camps The trail was built by sub scription from the two towns He also says that the road at the 1ditarod end is far better than at the Seward end; in fact, the worst stretch being from Glacier creek tc Bird creek, about fifteen miles That stretch of road IS dangerous, and several dogs anc a horse have died there.
