PICTURES OF ALASKA GAME
 FOR PATRONS OF MOVIES

Al Smith and wife recently passed through Juneau on their way to the Outside, says the Dispatch of that city. Mir. Smith has been busy with Il; cTIera hunting Alsska wild game He first hied to get brown bear pictures at Kodiak and says he sue Ceydcd beyond al rect a.ion5 of a twenty cay tip up Polly cr'eA, on the west side 2; Cook inlet.
 We were told about this spit by Andrew Berg of Kenai who said there were more bear fishing along that creek than any place in Alaska. We built raft and DoIei up the creek, and I want to say tha. be was right We saw fifteen bears during our twenty day stay, and secured pictrres at close range of a brow bear with cubs, and one of those 'broncho' bears-a long legged brown fellow with hump on his nose, making a regular Roman effect and giving him more the appearance of a broncho than a bear.
 "La2ving Seward, we went out over the line and took pictures all the way to An choragc. including the Turnaga;n arm bore and out to the coal fields, Then we c8me back to Kenai, secured some sheep pie lures on the mountains, and then went to hdJcneludk pay NicIS tAt IilOOSt hIlC thick and tame, after winch We crossed the inlet for bear. At a river near Polly creek we took pictures of the famous beluga whales chasing salmon in shallow water, which ought to make show all by them selves
 'We had only one real adventure" con cluded Smith, "and that was when l tried to pick brown bear cub out of the water and fell in. The mother, an old broad headed brute, was feeding on the bank with her two cubs when one of the young sters knocked the other into the stream. It drifted down by the raft from which l was taking pictures, and l reached out to get it, but the raft tipped and into the water 1 went. camera and all. The old girl stood up on her hind legs and woofed, but made no effort to enter the stream, although it was only five feet deep. On a bar below the cub crawled out. The old lady cutfed it and they hiked for the brush
 Smith took 10000 feet of film and ex poets to be able to show something unique in animal pictures.

RESULTS OF PRIMARIES
 IN STATE OF WASHINGTON

Seattle dispatches of September 13 and fl give details of the statewide primaries in Washington, which brought out several surprises, the most important being the de feat Of Congressman W E. Humphrey for the United States senatorial nomination by Senator Miles Poindexter Progressive Re publican, by plurality of between COCO and 5000 The defeat of Humphrey is q severe blow to the old-Iine Republicans, and the Post -Intelhgencer, the leading Repub- hcan newspaper of Washington, shows indi- cations of its intention to bolt the nomina- ton.
 The defeat of Humphrey Is attributel largely to Seattle Democrats, who resented his abuse of President Wilson, and having few contests of their own, went into the Republican booths and voted as Republic ans against him.
 Former Governor Henry Mcbride was successful in the race for the governorship in a field of seven candidates Former Mayor of Seattle John r. Miller was nomi- mated for congress to succeed W. E. Hum phrey from the First district, and Albert Johnson of HOQuiam was renomlnated for the third term from the Third district.
 Governor Lister was renominated by the Democrats by an overwhelming majority over Dr. W. E. Cass of Vancouver The indications were that former Senator George Turner had been nominated for senator over Robert Bridges
 Former Mayor George F. CotteriIl was nominated for congress in the Seattle dis trict. and Edward Cudihee, for three terms sheriff of King county, was again nominated for that position.

ENGLISH CHANNEL TUNNEL
 LIKELY TO BECOME REALITY

LONDON, Sept. 1S-Advocates of a tun- neI under the English channel between Eng Iend and France express high confidence that the construction of such a tunnel will begin immediately after the conclusion of the war This great work will absorb much labor released by rehabilitation.
 Workers will be required in large num- bers, not only for excavation, but for mak- ing the necessary plant and machinery.
 Business men have long favored the project, but the politicians, supported ap- parently by the nation, have clung to in sularity Now the Angio-Frcnch peace has been unbroken fer more than one hun dred years, and the French and British are prosecuting side by side the greatest war in history.
 Fear of the French was what stopped the channel in mid Victorian days when Lord WclseIey, holding that the French in time of profound peace might send troops through the tunnel, seize Dover and cap ture London, overbore the champions ot the tunnel, Gladstone, Bright and Lans- downe
 Since those days, not to mention the i'm provement in Anglo-French relations, the Zeppelin, aeroplane and submarine have come to affect the English insular position. Besides, it IS seen that if the tunnel had existed this war would have been much easier for Great Britain. Troops and sup plies could have been poured through it in absolute security, sparing the admiralty the heavy task of protecting the seas, and leaving many millions of tons of mer. chant shipping free to do its accustomed work This would have meant cheaper food and coal a great boon and the safe and comfortable transportation home of the British wounded.
 When built the tunne! will consist of two tubes twenty feet in diameter driven some forty feet apart, and connected at short intervals by galleries The tubes will be large enough to accommodate great trains, with restaurant and sleeping cars, bringing London into close touch with the whole continent and making it more than ever the center of the world

MINERS COMMEND SULZER

Over the signatures of its president, Thomas H. Butler, and secretary, H. R. Rofleson, the Miners Union of SuIzer, the home town of Senator Charles A. Sulzer, has issued the following:
 At a meeting held in our hall on June 6, 1916, all members being present, mo tion was made, seconded and unanimously carried to give Senator Charles A. SulZer of the Alaska legislature our entire sup port in his campaign for delegate to con- gress.
 ''Mr. Sulzer has been a resident here for fourteen years Until the last year he was general manager for the Alaska Industrial Company, but since last year he has oper- ated the mines himself as a lessee. During all these fourteen years he has proved him self a true friend of unionSm good fellow and friend of labor i'll general.
 He gave the eight-hour day of bis own free will in 1902 upon starting operations in Alaska, and this was long before any one else had the same rule in Alaska. He has always paid the highest wages in this district, given everybody a square teal, and treated everybody as a man. There is not man who has ever worked in Senator Sulzer's camp who will not speak of hun in the highest terms, and we know from long observation that he has the quali- fcations to ably represent us in congress,
 "The foregoing are only few of the main facts of Mir Sulzer's character which have endeared him to the workers, so we wish you to rally to his support and leave no obstacle in the way for his election for delegate to congress from Alaska"

LONG ARM OF THE LAW
 STRETCHES UNDER THE SEA

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Six years ago when the rye and barley shocks dotted the vast fields of the North German plain, Valerie Klescznaka, a harvest hand, was murdered. She was a peasant girl from Russian Poland who had come down with thousands of others for the harvest season to Mecklenburg Schwerin. She was one of hundreds working on the Ritter Gut estates, the property of Prlnz Etel Fried rich. Her body was thrown into a pond, weighted with steel rail.
 Since those peaceful golden days has come war that enveloped Germany on all sides Army corps have tramped and great guns rumbled over the fields where Valerie labored and died Her foes have boastcd that Germany was cut off from the world
 The other day Wadislaw kubick was ar rested at his home at 199 York street, Jer sey City, charged with the murder of Va lerie klescznaka, and the warrant was signed by the magistrate of town i'll Meek lenburg Schwerin
 Accompanying the document were sixty typewriter pages of evidence gathered in the six years by pa!nstaking German police men Also there were photographs of ku- bcki, of Valerie and of the pond in which her body was thrown.
 The Deutschland, pioneer undersea mer- chantman, has found room among its pre- cicus cargo for the documents that were to permit German detective to report to his chief that the Kie3cznaka murder case was complete and the alleged murderer un- der arrest awaiting trial. It was just com monpIace crime in an outlying section, but the German police system found time and opportunity despite wars demands and re stricticns to follow it up to the end.
 It was November TO- 1910, that Valerie was missed. She had come from Gustyen, Russian Poland. From the same village came Kubick and his wife. Not until eleven months later was it known definitely how she died. The summer and early fall of 1911 were exceptionally dry in Mecklen- burg Schwern A little pond on the Ritter Gut estate dried up Valeries body, Iashed to steel rail, was disclosed. A careful examination and analysis showed that she had been strangled.
 From Poland thousands come every year, in time of peace, to help harvest Germany s grain The host moves across the face of the land as opportunity and ambition moves it. The problem of the police was to find the one in the multitude who had strangled the Polish girl

THEY MAY COMPEL HIM
 TO TAKE THAT CONTRACT

While the people of Iditarod have heard nothing further in regard to the aerial mail contract for which Earl Byers was the only been dropped, it seems that they are still talking about it in Washington, and if the Iditarod man doesn't take care he may have a contract thrust upon him willy nilly A special dispatch from Washington in the Juneau Empire, dated September ,, says
 Preparations of the postotfice depart ment to let a contract for mail delivery in Alaska by aeroplane was announced Tn the house of representatives just before ad- journment by Representative Murray Heu- bert of New York. who inserted in the Record figures relating to the pioneer aerial mail route. The delivery of mail by aero1 lane according to NIT, Heubert, will be made between Seward and Nome, with Icitarod as distributing center, for In terior deliveries by the dog-sled routes. Quicker deliveries will be possible through out Alaska, he says, because of the aero plane transportation.
 "'The department, says Mir. Heubert, has received a bid from Earl Byers for aeroplane delivery at >.9,500 year. This calls for deliveries twice a week all the year and weight limit of 1000 pounds. The inauguration of the first aeroplane delivery will soon be announced by the department
 MT. Heubert explained that his interest in the mail route was in spirit with the interest of his district in aeronautic devel, op,naut"

NEW YORK, Sept 18.-T St. John Gaffney, former United States consul gen eraI at Munich, Germany who was re called several months ago by President Will son for his alleged unneutral utterances, on his arrival here recently denounced the American diplomatic service as pro-Brltlsh
 When the Frederick VIII. reached Kirk wall on the trip to New York the British officers gave Gaffney thorough looking over, inspecting his person and his per sonal belongings.

 "No," he said, q did not say I would Ike to see the German flag flying over the White House What I said was that I would like to help haul down the English flag from the White House. The atmo- sphere of the White House is viciously pro British Wilson reads the London Times and the Post and would rather believe what they say than the truth"
 Because of Gafney's outspokenness in airing his sympathies numerous sharp tilts between him and other passengers occurred on the trip United States Consul General William F. Pike, returning from his post at Coburg, Germany, and John c. Simon, a we'll known merchant of Boston, assert that GafGney, in the smoking room of the Frederick VII, said: T wish I were the man that shot the torpedo into the Lu-

on AVIATION PROGRAM
House Naval Affairs Committee Puts
$250,0O0.000 as Minimum for
Naval Expenditure.

Indications were forthcoming yesterday
that the House Naval Affairs Committee
will authorize the expenditure OF at least
$3.50 10000 for the maintenance and in
crease of the navy during the forthcoming
fiscal year
The $50, 100000 is fixed as the minimum
limit by members of the Subcommittee

the bill for submission to the full COM
mittee on Thursday. 1t is based upon the
assumption that the full committee will
adopt a building program as extensive, at
least, as that proposed by the Navy De-
partment.
The subcommittee in making a tenta-
tive draft of the bill has made no rec
ommendstion touching upon the building
program. 1t has concerned itself only
with smaller details for the guidance OF
the committee before they are incorpor-
ated in the final bill.
In the preliminary draft the subcom-
nittee has proposed an appropriation OF
s., 200, 900 for aviation, with $4,000 to be ex-
pended by the naval advisory board for
the same purpose. Items of *l25.o0O each
are proposed to reimburse the States of
New York and Massachusetts for the
maintenance OF their naval training
schools.
