COLLEGE CLUB MEETING
Paper On Experiences In Red Cross
Hospital Read.

The College club was entertained
Saturday afternoon by Mrs. Arthur
F. Stone. AS at the meeting of one
month ago fingers were busy with
knitting needles and a goodly number
of "sponges'' for use in the hospitals
of the war zone was the result. This
very appropriately accompanied the
paper read by Miss Elizabeth Peck,
Impressions of an American Nurse
in a Red Cross Hospital in France"
written by her sister, Miss Anne ".
Peck, who spent eight months as
nurse in the American Red Cross
hospital in Pau. The building fitted
up for a hospital had previously been
used as a casino. Miss Peck gave a
very vivid picture both of the hospital
life and of the beautiful scenery or
southern France. That out of 500
patients treated during the American
regime there were only seven deaths
testifies to the skill of surgeons and
nurses. At the end of one year the
hospital was transferred to the Red
Cross of France. Refreshments of
cocoa and cakes were served.

Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied of recent years,
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although 1t
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the

Amongst the prisoners was a Mexican who is charged with mur- dering a Japanese at Chignik. The Mexican is said to have cut the other under the knee and in the arm and the Japanese bled to death. This occur renee took place about sixe weeks ago.
 Amongst the passengers for the outside on the Dora was Dr. French, U. S. Commissioner at Dillingham;, and also government agent.
 Superintendent Williams of a western cannery was also a passenger and another cannery superintendent going out was Captain Osborne of the cannery at Chignik who was accom- panied by Mrs. Osborne. Grant Chase, prOspector and hunter, came out after long period prospecting in the west. He says it is a great min eral country.

SEATTLE, Sept. 21.-Dr. Rudolph NJ. Anderson, a geologist and member of the Steffanson expedition, returned here yesterday and reports that vast deposits of copper were discovered by the party which he headed on Cor onation Gulf and Bathurst Inlet in the far north. Anderson's party was called the southern party of the Canadian Arctic expedition and was attached to the Stefanson expedition for the purpose of Investigating con ditions around the mouth of the Mac Kenzie river for the Canadian govern ment. Anderson says the copper lava deposits are workable by surface min ing and can be reached by way of the Mackenzie river and Great Bear lake.

Finaegan pointed out also that the establish ment of such board might be an in- jury to the city because if the commit tee made the prices ,oo high the ter ritOrial public utility board could not cut down the prices owing to the con- tract establishing the committee.
 Judge MorfOrd also pointed out that such a committee could only create confusion. He also reminded the council that as the franchise would not be exclusive the company would be very careful to keep the prices reason able.
 Mir. Dougherty then stated that the committee suggested could audit the books of the company and learn by that manner what would be a fair charge for telephone usuage.
 Mir. Sauers again stated that he could not see what the town could lose. He believed it had everything to gain by granting a good franchise All the members of the council seem ed to agree that the present telephone service is an excellent one.
 "As the telephone company stands now," said Sauers, "it could raise rates at any old time if it wanted to. I know I would if I had it."
 @You would, Bill," opined Council man Torrey. Mir. Torrey and MT Du- breuil entered some protest on other phases, unfavorable to the granting of the franchise but it was finally de cided to get the city attorney, the phone committee, the attorneys for the company and Mir.

SWEEP
 THE STATE OF MAINE

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. l2.-The election in the state of Maine, for which the whole country has been waiting to get an idea of the trend of political support this year. resulted in tremendous victory for the Re- publicans yesterday. The Progress sives came back to the aid of the C. O. p. in this election and to this fact is chiefly due the victory although sev- eral other causes are also assigned by different elements of the political pop ulation. However, the Republicans elected their governor, two United States senators, four representatives to congress and wrested control Of the state house of representatives from the Democrats. Another result of the election is that the Republicans will be able on a joint vote of the legIs- lature to elect the other state officers that are not elected by popular vote. The returns show that the Republi- can gain was thirty-fve per cent and the Democrat gain only per cent over 1914. c. F. Milliken led the ticket, defeating Governor Curtis by a plurality of thirteen thousand. The pro-Germans are also claiming credit fer defeating the Democrats so badly.

The business of the Great Northern railroad has increased so fast with Alaska that the fact serves as a vivid reminder of the tremendous develop ment which is now taking place in the territory. A. S. Dautrick, the genial representative of the Great Northern, is again in Seward on the company's business and speaks in the most inter- esting manner of the way the com pany is serving the territory To mention only one item, he states that the Great Northern is bringing from the east for one company alone, the Alaska Juneau, no less than four thousand tons of freight.

Capital Takes Up
 A New Unga Ledge
Recent Strike in That Quarter Prom,
 ises Very Big Things.

A. II. Bradford, the engineer so well known here, has very quietly and very unostentatiously gone to work for great outside capital to deyelopc two big quartz lodges which have re- gently been discovered near Unga. James R. Hayden who returned on the Dora last evening visited the scene and from his account of the property it is evident that a very great mine might be the result of the discovery and the work now being car ried on. It is the property discovered by Cushing and Gardner. Mir. Brad ford has about eight men working on it now and will be there eight months to give it a thorough testing. The people he represent are Deming, of the Pacific Fisheries company and Messrs. Smydecker and Scottem, prin- cipal owners of the National Mine of Nevada. The strike was made three miles from the old Apollo. The dis covery looks like a really big thing. There are two ledges that can be trac- ed for over two miles. One lead is 200 to 25O feet in width and the other is about 100 feet. In one ledge as says have shown S2 to as high as $l4 to the ton, and the other assays from $1 to $3 and $4.

Campaign Opens
 Now in Seward
George Grigsby Will Speak Tomorrow
 and Sulzer is Coming.

Here she is. Once more the cam paign for the Territorial elections has come around and Seward has entered the fray
 George B. Grigsby, O. Nome, Dem ocratic candidate for attorneyga ganeraI of Alaska, arrived on the Alaska yes terday afternoon and will address a meeting tomorrow evening in A. B. Hall. He was met at the dock by committee of local Democrats.
 Yesterday also came word that Charles Sulzer was to leave Fairbanks yesterday on his way to Seward to open his campaign here for delegate 10 congress.
 Mir. Grigsby will probably take up the charges made by Schofeld and which were published in this paper a couple of days ago. The people who lived in Nome at the time say that the cverse of the Schofeld statemcny true aul that Grigsby was really the usual counsel for the laboring men. However, George is a fellow that can go pretty near fighting his own corner and he will probably handle the other George without gloves. Mir. Grigsby was formerly United States district attorney for the Second division but, as the poet said, he was unaccustomed ito fawn or seek pow'r by doctrines fashioned to the varying hour" and he got the axe.
 Grigsby is a good speaker and very popular in his own home town. Nat urally he has perfect confidence in the outcome of the elections for the Dem ocratic candidates. It is conceded that he will carry the Second, his home di- vision, by an immense majority but George would be the first to smile if he didn't. His speech tomorrow night will probably be heard by all parties, and as he is rather a good looking sort of a chap-he knows it probably-the ladies will undoubtedly be there like a duck or a flock of them. It might be advisable to say here that he IS married and has young Grigsbys, but if he doesn't get the votes of the gentler sex after they see him-Good Night!
