work. Maud, who refused to stay
alone ashore. slept In the forecastle.
Wolf Larsen had sat about, listening
to my repairing the windlass and talk

ent subjects. No reference was made
on either side to the destruction of

began to heaye. Maud held the turn
on the windlass and coiled down the
slack.
But when the butt of the topmasi
was level with the rail, everything
came to standstill.
Instructing her how to hold the turn
and be ready to slack away at com
mand. laid hold OF the mast with
my hands and tried to balance It in
board across the rail. When thought

but the spar righted, despite my eff

position, for ! had now another idea

small double and single block affair
and fetched It.
While was rigging II between the
top of the spar and the opposite rail
Wolf Larsen came on the scene. We
exchanged nothing more than good
mornings and. though he could moi
see, he sat on the rail- out OF the way
and followed by the sound all that
did.
Again instructing Maud to slack
away at the windlass when I gave the
word, proceeded to heave on the
watchtackle. Slowly the mast swung
IN until It balanced at right angles
across the rail; and then ! discovered
10 my amazement that there was nc
need for Maud to slack away. In fact
the very opposite was necessary. Max
ing the watchtackle fast. l hove or

TO the deck and finally its whole

In less than an hour I had the main

Nenana, Alaska, Nov, II, 1916.

The reelection Of President
Wilson means a great deal TO
Alaska. to the United States In
general and to the Democratic
party. 1t means that Alaska will
continue to receive friendly con-
sideration at Washington; that
the affairs of the nation will con-
tinue TO be administered honestly
and imparhally, and that the
Democratic party will be given
the opportunity to carry out those
reforms which were inaugurated
during the present administration.
In this connection it is worthy of
note that this is the first time
since the days of Andrew Jackson
that a Democratic president has
succeeded himself. The nearest
approach to it in late years was
in 1888, when President Cleye-
land, although receiving plural
ity of the popular vote of nearly
100000. was defeated in the
Electoral College by Harrison.
What would have happened to
Alaska and the Government rail
road had Hughes been elected. no
one can say. We do know. on
the other hand. what has been
done for US by President Wilson.
and we have his assurance that
there will be no suspension of &C
tivities so long as he remains in
office.
That is our chief concern. We
want the railroad completed quick
ly and the coal lands and other
valuable resources which abound
in interior Alaska opened to de-
velopment. We seek only the
opportunity to prove the worth Of
Uncle Sans great northern en-
pire, and that opportunity will
come to us through President
Wilson in the form of better and
cheaper transportation and an
abundance of moderately-priced
fuel.

Alaskans have expressed them
selves on the liquor question in a
very decided manner. By an
overwhelming majority they have
made it plain that they are oppos-
ed to the saloon and desire ii
eliminated, even in those towns
which depend very largely upon
liquor license money for support.
And the action compels respect
not alone because of the number
of votes cast against the saloon.
but also because Of the fact that
the decision of the voters was
reached after mature deliberation
and thorough enlightenment on
the points involved.
1t was not a snapshot decision
by any means. For months
prior to the election both the
liquor interests and the Prohibi-
tionists carried on a campaign
through the columns of the press
throughout Alaska setting forth
their respective claims, and it is
safe to say that this one issue was
more generally debated among
the electors than any other ques-
ton submitted. And their deci-
sion should be final.
The act providing for an ex-
preston by the people as to
whether or not intoxicating liquors
shall be sold or manufactured in
the territory after the first of Janu-
uary, 1913, was passed during
the last session of the territorial
legislature: and if it is permitted
to stand. the sale and manufacture
Of liquor in Alaska will cease au-
tomatically On the date mentioned
without further action on the part
of the legislature.
Section 4 of the Act provides
that. in the event the certificate
of the Canvassing Board shall
show that the majority of the cleo
tors voting upon this question
have declared against the sale,
manufacture, barter or exchange
of intoxicating liquors in the Ter
ritory of Alaska, as herein provid-
ed, no wholesale or retail license
shall be issued after the first day
of January. 1918"
