STEAMER ATLAS WRECKED

The steamer Atlas, owned by Martin Mo ran and Cap. Flannigan, was wrecked ln the Panama river near Dad Martins road house on September 20 last Her cargo was total loss. All members of the crew were saved though they report narrow escapes.
 Moran and Flannigan had invested all she money they had in a stock for a trad ing post, and were taking it to the Lake TetGn country There also were on board the Atlas several outfits for Healy river prospectors, as well as a few tons of -four and sugar for Newton, the Healy river trader. The loss will be a heavy enc for the trappers and prospectors of those dis tricts as all of them were practically de pendent upon the Atlas cargo for their winters supplies, according to the Fair banks News Miner. Their nearest supply points will now be hte Delta and Tanana Crossing points, neither of which has 2 supply to fill the expected demand.

OLD lDITAROD HOSPITAL
 OBJECT OF CONTROVERSY

The old Iditarod hospital building, on West Front street, which has been vacant | for some years, is the center of contTO- versy of no little interest, involving pos | session and title, in which Sam'l Apple 1 baum and Paul Laplant are the contenders | and the present and former mayors and the city council are incidentally involved. i The hospital was built for the Episcopal church by public subscription, and after 1 being conducted by the church for some time was abandoned and the fittings moved to Flat When Archdeacon Stuck was here two years ago he is said to have intimated that he would deed the property over to the I city, after he had had an opportunity to take the matter up with Bishop Rowe. This 1 apparently has not been done, and the title to the building still rests in the church off cials
 i Under the regime of E. M. Stanton as mayor Sam'l Applebaum, desiring to use the building as warehouse, claims to have purchased the building for $50, but the money was not to be turned over until title could be conveyed Recently Mayor Smith apparently without knowledge of the pre- yious transaction, sold the building to Paul | Laplant for the sum of $l60, and the town i council at meeting held last week con frmed the sale Mr Applebaum contends that he was bona fide purchaser and has not yet turned the building over to the subsequent purchaser He has addressed | the following letter to the city officials:
 "Iditarod, October 2l 1916 "To the Mayor and Common Council of the Town of Iditarod
 "Genttemen: 1 am in receipt of 8 com muncaticn from Joseph II. Smith, mayor informing me that the council has ratified sale of building known as the Idltarod Hospital to Mir Laplant, and notifying me to vacate the building at once
 q sincerely trust that the council, as a whole was not aware of the facts in the case or it would not have committed an act which otherwise could only be regarded as an extremely unfriendly one to me, l "I therefore beg to call your attention to the following facts:
 Tn September, 1915, l bought the ldita- rod Hospital building from MT. E. M Stan ton, then mayor of the town of Iditarod for the sum of $50, and was given pos session of the above-named building by Mr Stanton and in which possession 1 have been ever since. Mir Stanton wished tC communicate with Bishop Rowe or Arch deacon Stuck in order to be able to give me the proper deed for the hospital build i ing, and requested me to hold the check for the $50 until such time as he heard from them.
 For your further information I will add that the check for $50 was at all times ready for MT Stanton or his successors in office at any time the same was called for
 With these facts brought to your atten- ton I sincerely trust that you will readily perceive my inability to comply with the order to vacate the building in question
 Yours truly,

THE "CERRYMANDER"

It was an early American newspaper editor who made the word "gerrymander. He was Major Benjamin Russell of the Massachusetts Centinel which he and his partner, Warden, founded in 17S4, He was fighting man, and the Centinel was no tame journal but whacked blithely and Cared not where the chips fell.
 In 1911 the Massachusetts legislature, un- der Governor Gerry, made neat new di- vision of districts for congressional cleo tions The most insidous and ingenious arrangement of districts was the one fer the county of Essex. With great glee Russell took a map of the county and col cred the districts to show the heinousncss of the device.
 Gilbert Stuart, the famous painter, saw the map and suggested that the appcrtlon- ment looked like a reptile He made few marks on it with his pencil and said, There . it's salamande-" "
 Russell jumped up, laughing. "Salsman- der" he shouted, looking at the hideous figure: "Gerrymander!
 An engraving of the ''gerrymander' was made and hawked through the state. Thus was born what probably is one of the most constantly used of all manufactured news paper words-Lines O Type News.

HEAD OF CHINESE REPUBLIC
 IS CATHOLIC COMNIUNgCANT

PEkIN, China, Sept. 25.-Li Yuan Hung, China's new president, is a Christian, a communicant of the Roman Catholic church, and has always been strongly op- posed to connecting of church and state. At different times he has openly opposed efforts to make Confucisnism the state re- ligion of China, and stands for religious freedom in the republic.
 Since he assumed his official duties, June 7 he has often consulted his four foreign advisers-Dr ". W. Willoughby and Dr. Jeremiah w. Jenks, both Americans; Dr. George E. Morrison, an Englishman, and Dr. N Ariga, a Japanese
 Ii Yuan Hung's accession to the presi dency has worked a wonderful change in China The whcle spirit of public life in Pelxin has been altered. Democracy seems 10 have come into it's own again.
 The new president lives informally in his palace outside the Forbidden City and drives about Pekin in an automobile with only two soldiers to guard him. Chinese of all fac tions have a high personal regard for Ii Yuan Hung, and his life seems to be in no danger He moves about in a manner which would have been impossible for Yuan Shi kai.
 No other man in China is so universally beloved He has always had the reputation of being honest and patriotic, and is the one man who has the full confidence of the Chinese people, southerners as well as north erners

JUDGE BUNNELL OVERRULED
 IN MECHANICS LIEN CASE

A wire received by Attorney Harry E. Pratt of Fairbanks on September 19 from San Francisco informed him that the cir cult court of appeals had overruled the decision of the United States district court for the Fourth division of Alaska in the case of Jack Irvine vs. Angus McDougal ct al, according to the News Miner When this case was tried in the district court in Fairbanks a year ago last May the court held that Irvine could enforce his own lien against mining property of the defendant but that he could not realize on liens as signed him by six other miners.
 The contention of the defense, which was ustained by the district court, was that the six miners had assigned their liens to the plaintiff before filing the lien, and there fore the assignment was void. The conten- tion of the plaintiff was that the six miners had assigned the assignment of lien, but that the assignment was not delivered until the lien had been placed on the property, and it was good.

THE LINOTYPE'S OWN SONG

All things that be make grist for me For me the baseball twirls. For me there's news of crops and shops, and names of pretty girls with interviews and murder news and hints for dress designs. I put 'em through the melting pot and cast 'em into lines.
 The air may shake. The earth may quake, lands pass in fire, or drown; I note serene the changing scene of field and sea and town Men conquer there, men perish here; no offering refuse; alike to me all things appear-a simple take of news. A deed of fame, a deed of shame a deed of king or clown--I reach into the melting pot for type to set em down.
 Financial news, religious news, humility and pride l make bedfe!lows of them all, each strictly justified. To me are screamed all agonies; to me all joy inclines I put 'em through the melting pot and cast 'em into lines-Line O Type News

The remainder of the wharf will be leased to private parties. None of 1t Will be sold, as the government wishes to retain control of the water front. Telephone System
 If no private company or individuals build telephone system, the Alaskan en- gineering commission will provide one. MT. Riggs stated, however, that the commis- sion would prefer to have this matter han dled by private parties.
 An order has been placed for a big, up to-date sawmll, which will be installed on the ground below town, which has been used for baseball park during the past summer. This will be an electrically yoper- ated plant. The sawdust from the mill will be used for filling purposes, and for fuel fer the power plant. The amount of lumber to be 5awed will depend upon the time that the plant ar rives in the Interior, but Mir. Bailey stated that he thought fully 2,0O0,OO0 feet would be cut ntAl SuIIIIlltI

COPPER LODE IS LOCATED
 WHEN GLACIER RECEDES

Using rope and ladder to mount the glacier, Charles Emsweiler and Frank Skeen located lode of copper ore on the old Likes property, at Porcupine bay, for which search has been made ever since there has been a Seward, says dispatch from that city.
 This strike may put Resurrection bay on the map as a copper producer, for should investigation show the values discovered to continue it will rank with Elanar and Latouche.
 The lode is high grade copper, running from 31 to 35 per cent, and at the point reached by means of scaling the ice and cliff was thirty feet in width.

EARLY NUPTIALS
HEARD TOPROVE
RECORDS OF MARRIAGE IN DA-
kOTA TERRITORY PRIOR TO
1887 ONLY BY CERT.
4, FICATES,

Pierre, s. D.-A great many letters
come to the state and county Off
Gals asking for evidence of early
marriages In the days of Dakota ter
ritory. A few days ago a woman
came from Oregon and made long
search about Blunt to find someevi-
dence of her marriage at that place
in the days OF early settlement, the
evidence being necessary to estab-
lish legal claim to property which was
being claimed by a brother of her
dead husband, on his accertion that
there had never been a marriage.
Up to about 1887, no public records
OF marriages in the territory were
kept, the only written evidence be-
ing the marriage certificate which
was signed by the contracting parties
and witnesses, and the minister or
officer performing the ceremony. In
the case of the woman from Oregon
this certificate had been lost at the
time of the burning of the family
home years before, but after long
search people who were present at
the wedding were found and affidav-
its secured.
The license required after 1887
was through congressional action
covering all territories. and even at
ter that date up to statehood the rec
ords are generally incomplete and in
definite, and the requests for proof
of theseearly marriages often impos-
sible to find.

DEFEAT ADELpHIANs IN FoREN.
! SIC CLASH o NSUBJECT OF
COMPULSORY MILITARY
TRAINING,

Last night at Wesleyan chapel was
held the annual debate between the
two academy literary societies. the
Amphictyons and the Adelphians. in
which the affirmative upheld by the
Amphictyons won by a unanimous de-
cis!on. a5
The question debated was on COM
pslsory military training. The afyirm-
a.ive showed the issue Of the debate
to be whether military training
should be voluntary or compulsory
and whether 1t should be federal or
state. 1t showed that the present sys-
TEN is inadequate and that the pro-
posed measure was necessary for pre-
paredness.
The negative maintained that the
present system was adequate, that
compulsory military training was UNI
American and that it would create
war. Both sides were forcefully pre-
sented.
The Amphyictyons We're represent
ed by Louis Todnem, Bernard Linn,
and Harold Pearson. The Adelphians
were Loren Spear, Glen Seymour and
Lee Seymour. The judges WIRE Supt.
