torial officers, failed to make a nOmi-
nation for delegate, and,
Whereas, we believe it to be for
the best interests Of the Republican
party of the Territory of Alaska to
have the Honorable james Wicker
sham, the present delegate, returned
to Congress, Therefore, Be 1t
Resolved, That this convention
hereby endorse his candidacy
Then the storm broke. While this
resolution was not unexpected, as it
had been understood that the mission
of Charles E. Heron, Of Anchorage,
at the convention was wholly for the
purpose Of securing, if possible, the
endorsement of Wickersham, it was
not thought until yesterday it would
be done.
Without exception the Valdez del
egates and those from the immediate
vicinity were solid against the reso-
luton, but Heron, with his Anchor
age, Susitna and Knik proxies, and
the Seward delegates and those from
Cordova behind him, was in the ma
jority and by vote of "a to 20 the
resolution was carried.
When it came to the nomination OF
candidates for the Territorial legis-
lature, Valdez was left out. The nom
nation for territorial senator went to
George DOoley of Cordova. For the
lower house Anchorage got two candi-
dates. Arthur Frame and r. l.. Bed
dell. W. p. Henry of Seward and JOS
II. Murray Of Mccarthy completed the
candidates. Ed. Wood Of Valdez was
nominated for the Office Of Road Over
seer
Ell. Wbittemore, Of Seward, was
chosen chairman of the Divisional
lCommittee with authority to appoint
the secretary Of the committee. The
convention then adjourned.

TEDDY HUDSON GOING OUT ID

x. E. Hudson, the well known old inner and one Of the original G.s -Jyerers oi the Toloyana placer mn, -ng camp. will be a passenger fo. he Outside on one of the next out sOIns automobiles. Teddy as Il, 8 IdmilIaIy called by his friends. .s soIns out on his first trip to the ynght lights in sixteen years res.- ulnCe in the north. And, althou6:.
 he lights will probably hurt h.s yes to some extent when he firsu sees them, they will not bothel teddy for long. For he is some
 shinor' himself when he gets go Ing and nobodys light shines bright sf than does his.
 Teddy Hudson and his brother Jin. -ame north from Montana in 1897, .anding at Dawson. They went ou, -.gether in 1900, but since that tim, .ei,her has been out Montana, @AeTe another brother, C. W. Hud- 5On, resides, will therefore be the first place that Teddy strikes when ne gets out. Ii is also probable that ne will take a trip back to Yer .IJnt, the home of his childhood
 The Hudson boys came to Fair vanks from Dawson during the early days of this camp, Since their ar Hyal here they have been prospect 3Cs, pure and simple, both in quartz and in placer Several years az they took hold of promising piece of quartz property on Ester creel and worked it to advantage for |. time. but qait work there to go on placer prospecting trip to the roloyana country with Jay Liyen good. Therefore they, with MT Liven. good, are the men who put the lat est placer producing camp in Al aska on the map.
 Teddys friends are predicting al. kinds of calamities for him whcn he first hits the Outside. They think that in all probability he will be arrested for insanity when he starts craning his neck around in n effort to see from one street tC the next over some of the hig buildings. Automobiles, howeyc., ailI not bother Teddy, for he is auto broke" by reason of the fact that he has seen them, even in such Q far northern burg as Fairbanks, but he will probably shy at aeroplanes
 In replying to statements of fears on the part of h.s solicitous friends, Teddy says that he will try any
 hing once" He is going Outside to see all that there is to be seen and intends to see it, aside from visiting h.s relatives and oldtime friends. He expects to return north early in the spring.

HAS
 PROSPEROUS
 YEARS WORK

Reports coming from the Circle country indicate that a great deal of work was done there in the sea son just past. The Berry Dredge Co. had one dredge working on Nam moth creek, and hydraulic plants ou Eagle, Mammoth and Mastodon creeks. It is reported that the sea- son was a prosperous one. This is the case in spite of the lack of rain full during the summer. Late in the fall there was plenty of water.
 There are a number of private in dividuals that are prospecting on Eagle and Gold Dust creeks this winter. There are also a numbe4 Of prospectors in the Boulder creek country. A new plant has been in stalled on Butte creek, tributary
 f Deadwood.
 Anton Suter, operating on Switch c.eek, a tributary of Dcadwood, haC I very suCcCs full Seagon and made a good cleanup. The prospects for good seasun in the Circle country 4re thus very promising. It is be- Eeved that when the railroad cones in the operators there will be able to work much of the ground that now cannot be worked on account of the high cost of getting machinery the camp. However, there Wi be considerable activity in the camp next season.

PROSPECTING SEASON HTS
 TIL TOLOYANA

Recently arriving from the Tolo- vana Roy Ferguson brings very en- couraging news from that camp. He left Fairbanks about three weeks ago to look after some ground he is ln- terested in, and before returning home visited practically every creek in the district.
 He reports that the camp looks fully hundred per cent better than it did year ago. The merchants are all doing a thriving business, and everywhere there are signs of activity. On Liyengood creek nearly all the outfits are now engaged in taking out winter dumps and from present indications the spring clean up will be considerably larger than last season. While there is no shortage of labor, all the men are at work, there being no unemployed whatever. And money appears to be plentiful.
 During the past summer, the Geo logical Survey has had an expert in the vicinity making additional tests and surveys. His report is said to be very encouraging, in that he has determined that the formation of the ground on all the creeks in the vicinity is identical with that on the creeks which are already pro ducing.
 The result of this has been to put new life into the camp, and greater amount of prospecting is now be- ing done than at any previous time This is especially true of Promised Land, Moose creek, Fish creek, the Toloyana benches, Livengood flats, Alabam creek, and Goldstream. On this last named creek, there was much work done last winter, many holes being put down to bedrock In none of these was anything found, not even colors, which was puzzling, as the creek heads across the divide nearly opposite Liyengood. Among those working there last winter was Eddie Garner and partners, who put down seven holes to what they con sidered bedrock, without getting a thing to show. In the seventh hole they decided to continue on through this bedrock if possible. After two hours continuous driving they were able to get their point through the formation which proved to be lava cap, and not bedrock. Enlarging this hole so they were able to get under the cap, they discovered 4 feet of fine wash gravel, carrying fair pros poets. They are again on the ground this winter and are confident Of getting pay There are also a num- Der of others working on this creek, as many oldtimers think it possible that none of the holes reached bed rock, but stopped at the lava cap.
 MT. Ferguson states that while he was there, rain fell steadily one morning for over an hour, which, combined with the warm weather that followed for several days, melted the snow on all the hills. Water ran off them in streams, causing a general rise of the creeks, and mak- ing travel on them unsafe. Trails were transformed into mudholes. However, before he left, the tenn perature had dropped and everything was frozen solid He made good time by the way of Olnes on his return trip.

It is estimated that it costs the state SlOO00 for every blind person. and in the United States $15,00O000 is expended yearly in the care of the blind How can you prevent this?"
 The small sum of ? cents will do the work. When a baby has sore eyes one drop in each eye of a 1 per cent solu- ton of nitrate of silver within F hours after a baby develops a case of sore eyes will prevent blindness. Unless that is done the baby may become blind.'
 Well, what do you want done in Bir- mingham?'
 'All that I hope to accomplish is to induce the governing powers of the city to pass an ordinance making it manda- tory upon midwives, nurses and parents to report at once to the city health off, cer cases of sore eyes in babies. It should be the law that all cases be reported within si xhours And this law should be enforced as conscientiously as the pro- hibition law.
 "Of course, while in Birmingham, will lecture on the general preventatives to blindness Wood alcohol, for instance, is very detrimental to the eyes and q cam paign of education will be started, with the aid of local workers towards em- phaszing this evil. You know, 50 per cent of all blindness can be prevented, so anyone engaged in this work is really doing something worth while.
 MT Berry will be in the city for sev- eral days, and will also lecture in various towns in Alabama on the subject of blind ness. The national committee for the prevention of blindness is financially sup ported by the Sage and Rockefeller foun- dations.

THE PROBABLE OUTCOME

There is no one who can forecast with any degree of accuracy the course of pro- cedure the President will pursue respect ing the tense situation developed by the destruction of the Persia, and the murder of Consul McNeeley
 However, the probability of war against the central powers is not entertained Should the President deem it wise to write new notes, it is certain that the missives will not be constructed in the milk-and- water manner by means of which the pre- ceding were chiefly characterized Then should Prussia not respond with alacrity and in proper spirit, the chief executive, in all probability, would dump the burden on Congress.
 Would Congress declare war? There are those in both houses who would take de- light in waving the red flag. But the idea IS firmly entrenched that the majority would find means of securing satisfac- ton without endangering the lives of thousands of men, fimpoverishing the nation, and reducing prosperous country to the state of misery soon to be the DOT ton of the imperial governments and re- publics of Europe
 It IS not peace at any price" to which the democrats apparently subscribe: but it is the belief that the provocation has not been sufficiently great to warrant the in- fiction of penalty as severe as death.
