MAN BELIEVED LOST
 FROM SEWARD DOCK
Cr.es For Help Heard at Night and
 John Carl Lodje is Missing.

John Carl Lodje, a Russian who had been working on the government rail- road, almost surely lost his life in the waters of Resurrection bay this morning shortly after two o'clock by falling off the dock. At that time cries for help were heard from the east end of the new dock and men went to the scene quickly. George Madsen found a "souwester" hat be- longing to Lodje but nothing else. Search parties went out in boats but Madsen says they could find no trace of anyone. Lodje was seen going to- wards the dock by sherman Haynes of the Palace just before the cries were heard and at that time the night was dark as pitch. It can only be assumed that Lodje, who was about to take passage on the Mariposa on the way to San Francisco, went to the dock to await the arrival of the boat which was then about an hour overdue and that he fell over the side or end of the dock in the darkness. He was not intoxicated and during the even- ing was even trying to prevent friends of his from drinking. He had lunch a short time before at the Palace and constantly advised the men who were with him not to drink but to save their money as he was doing for the out side. He drank a couple of glasses of beer but that was all He left his pack in booth but later a man nam ed Nelson came and took it away to another place. Lodje had been work ing at Mile 52 for a long time, some say a year, and had quite a bit of money. He was born near Warsaw Poland, and seemed to have some education. In some ways he showed eccentricity or "Queerness" which caused some of his acquaintances to regard him as simple. An exclama- ton which he constantly used was "Hallelujah". About the last thing he was seen doing was dancing lit- tie jig and gloating in the fact that he would "soon be in San Francisco" He was about 3S years of age.

Especial to Gateway by United Pressl
 FARGO, N. D., August lS.-Spring wheat growers through both the Dakotas and Minnesota tomorrow will confer here on a plan to combine and demand what they consider legitimate prices for their grain.
 o. S. Morris of the editorial depart ment of the Non Partisan Leader, Faro, will be one of the speakers. The Leader is the organ of the Farmers Party that recently swept North Dakota in a political primary victory.
 Each raiser of spring wheat will get a chance to tell of the cost Of production of spring wheat" said Morris today. "We shall then add reasonable profit and arrive at a reas- enable price per bushel. When that price isn't paid, farmers will be equip ped to store the wheat a sufficient length of time to command the prop CT prices. Discrimination must be stopped.

VILLA DEAD
 ONCE AGAIN
THIS TIME A JAPANESE PHYSI CLAN ADMINISTERED SLOW
 POISON TO HIM.

CHIHUAHUA CITY, August 25.- A Japaneses physician who is now here claims that he brought about the death of Villa. He is positive that the bandit chief is dead and that he died as the result of slow poison administ- cred by the physician himself under the shape of medical treatment. The physician also states that Colonel Baca who bore a strong resemblance to Vlda impersonated the bandit after his death. The death of Villa, accord ing to the statement of the Japanese, occurred shortly after the fight at Parral.

LONDON, August 25.-According to an uncOntim- ed wireless dispatch from Rome Germany has ordered the Bugarans to discontinue their advance into the terri tory which they have taken in Greece This order the message states was given by Germany to prevent poSsi- be war with Greece It is denied that the Bugarians have made advances the recent fighting but neither IS 1t affirmed here.

NENANA LOTS BRING MORE
 THAN ANCHORAGE ONES

The sale of lots at Nerana as far as it has gone shows far greater prices prevailing over there, than at the sale in Anchorage. The first days of the Anchorage sale, from July 10 to July IT, brought in $148,98O for 655 lots, which is about $227 each. Of course, it is possible that the best lots were sold in Nanana first and as the sale there has not proceeded for as long time as the period given for the Anchorage sales the comparison can not be accepted as certain,

LoDJE WORKED WITH BARNET


 Carl Lodje who is believed to have been drowned from the dock this morning worked for S. Barnet, the Broadway tailor, about six weeks last Spring about Faster time. Mir. Bar net says that the missing man came, not from Poland, but from the Baltic provinces of Russia and was born four miles from the city of Riga where his father and mother still reside. That Lodje had no such amount of money as a thousand dollars is the belief of Mir. Barnet. It had been reported that the missing man had this amount.

ANCHORAGE STILL HARPS
 ON EXPORTED BATTERIES

The Anchorage people are appar- ently still talking about imported batteries" in the game between that town and Seward. The following editorial from the Anchorage Times of August r shows how the feeling is:
 Anchorage Is Proud Of Them
 "The Anchorage baseball team that went to Seward to try conclusions with the Seward nine covered itself with glory and fttingly represented this town in the great national game we all love so well. Despite the fact that our team did not win the series, it demonstrated that We have some mighty fine baseball players. Our boys had all the worst of the play, in that being in hostile territory, the crowd was nearly all opposing them; the ball grounds were new to them; and the trip over and weather condi- tiOns generally did not tend to aid them. And then again, an imported battery from the Northwestern league was called to the aid of the Resurrec- ton bay town. Without this battery, the Seward team is easy game for our fine athletes.
 It is on the tapis for Seward to play return games here the latter part, of this month. We hope the Seward boys will come, bringing the imported battery with them. Anchorage will give them a royal reception and a square deal all-around. And the town will turn out en masse to watch the games.
 eve question the ethics of import ing professional ball players in amateur sports as between neighbor- ing towns, but now that this battery is in Alaska, We should like to see them work before returning to their positions in the Northwestern league.
 in the further accounts of the games, however, the paper is nicer and speaks as follows:
 The people of Seward did their best to entertain the Anchorage boys and sustain their reputation for courtesy and if anything was neglected it wasn't noticed. The support the Sew
