Latest advices from Anchorage say that the labor conditions there remain unchanged, but that there is a feeling of uneasiness among the workers, which is beginning to manifest itself.
 In addition to the tracklayers and carpenters, the teamsters in the em- ploy of the engineering commission have struck, and although they were offered $75 per month and board, they refused to go back to work. Private transportation companies in Anchor age are paying 800 per month and board.
 To add to the commissions difficuI- ties the cable being out of commission, has prevented the officials from get ting into communication with Chair man Edes in regard to the wage dis putes In the meantime mild weather has set in and it is feared that the trails will break up before supplies can be sent into the Matanuska sec tion and that the work may possibly be delayed another year.

NOME|TE BEING
 BOOSTED FUR ' DELECATE

The news from Nome that Hugh O'Neill is backed by the Democrats of that place for the attorneyship of the territory has been followed by letters and exchanges from other places tell ing that many other attorneys of the territory are mentioned as probable candidates for the place. The story from Nome. by the way, also showed that the Democrats there are for Grigsby for delegate and Sulzer for national committeeman, and they are two very strong men. From Juneau comes word that John Rustgard, for merly district attorney, is out for the attorneyship. He is a Republican, and so is George Irving, who is also mentioned as an aspirant for the hon or and emoluments. In the Fairbanks division Tom McGovern is spoken of for the position. He is attorney for IHt NOIlllClH NOilHiClCidl NOIIlptiIy- l.. V. Ray is mentioned as the likely candidate from the Third division, but MT. Ray declines to say anything about it personally. O'Neill is a young attorney, who went to Nome only two or three years ago He is a close political friend of Grigsby The remarkable thing about this at torney generalship is that the man who holds the job may be called upon to decide whether he is entitled to his salary or not. It is the opinion of many that the territorial legislature did not have the power to provide for an attorney general, and the fact that Delegate Wickersham has introduced a bill in Congress to create the office, rather shows that he also suspects that the territorial bill was ultra wires, to use legal phrase while we are speaking of attorneys at all.
 While on the subject it may be said that the action of the Nome Demo- crats in putting forward Grigsby for the delegateship and Sulzer for com mitteeman throws a bright light on politics far removed from us. It in dicates clearly that the Nome people recognize Sulzer as a formidable op-

U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

 The report, which presents the re- suits of the first systematic study of the water powers of this section of Alaska, has been compiled from ob- servations made by the writers during the season of 1913, and shows beyond doubt that Prince William Sound can develop sufficient water power to meet every need of the mining and al lied industries.

ponent to Grigsby for the nomination for delegate, and they have thrown out an offer. It may be that Sulzer is only a candidate for the commit teemanship, but rumors are that he is out for delegate. Whatever one says or thinks it must be admitted that Grigsby and Sulzer are two strong men. Each has a personality which could win votes. Sulzer, by the way, is a brother of the former governor of New York.

MR.. BOWERS NOT A
GOOD REPUBLICAN
Voted Against a Merchant Marine
When His Party Proposes to
Endorse it at Chicago.

A few days ago The World laid
bare Congressman George NJ Bow
ers' record on a merchant marine,
showing how he followed instructions
OF the reactionaries and voted
against the bill, creating a merchant
marine, which was passed by the
house. Mr.. Bowers scoffed at what
The World said and to his friends
attempted to justify his act.
This mornings Baltimore American

Of the platform by Chairman Charles
ID. Hillies, of the Republican National
Committee. Among other things Mr..
Hilles says the party will endorse a
merchant marine.
Since Congressman Bowers profess
ses to be a Republican, the question
naturally arises, is he a good one?
He voted against a merchant marine,
but Mr.. Hilles, and it is presumed he
knows, says his party will incorpor-
ate that plank in its platform. Is the
Republican party or Mr. Bowers right.
or is Mr.. Bowers bigger than his par
ty? Perhaps he will attend the Chi
eago convention and prevent such ac-t
ton.
