at Spokane last Wednesday. 1t was
the second annual convention of the
state club organizations.
Willie Waldorf Astor of New York,
who since his failure to buy seat in
the house of representatives has spent
the greater part of his time regret
ting that he was born in America and
not in some country where his i'm
mense wealth would enable him to
purchase a place in the ranks of the
nobility, has, in an effort to remedy
that defect, renowned America as a
residence and gone to Europe to live.
Conductor Baldwin of the train
running out of Kamilche fell from a
car Tuesday and broke his leg.

A dispatch from Hoquiam says:
"The Porter creek gold excitement
has reached Hoquiam and Gray's
Harbor and every day there is an in
creased exodus to the alleged source
of the newly found mineral deposits.
Porter creek is less than mile
from the Olympia and Gray's Har-
Dor railroad. Collaborating rock
is reported to have been found two
and one-half miles east of Porter sta
ton. Numerous claims have been
staked out, and the report that
samples of the ore have assayed $40
per ton is repeatedly confirmed.
William Murray, formerly of Ho-
GUAM and an old California and Ne
vada miner, made the present discov-
cry, which is causing much excite
ment."

the arrangements of the Great North
ern and Union Pacific railroads have

 THOUSAND BET
 ON PRESIDENT

SEATTLE, Nov. 2.-Steve Bailey, formerly a Seattle hotel man but now an Oregon rancher today bet S75.OOO that President Wilson would be reelected. The money was put up in a Seattle bank to which a New York broker had telegraphed the money to bet on Hughes at even money. The New York end of the bet is represented by a syn dicate.
 Word was received this morning that the money had been telegraph ed from New York. and MT. Bailey immediately took the whole sum-
 Practically every cigar store and pool room in Seattle has money posted to bet on Wilson without talk CTS. Some of the money has been up for more than week.
 The betting in New York and elsewhere Is generally even, though it Is said that there is more Wilson money offered than Hughes money

AT CORDOVA AND IS
 LOSING GROUND
Laboring Men in Charge of SuIzer'S Campaign in Copper River
 Country.

CORDOVA. Nov. - Delegate Wickersham is still here but is re- ticient concerning his plans, 1t is believed that he will probably re- main until after the election. He and his supporters are putting up hard fight to carry this city and the points along the Copper River railroad, yet there is no question but that they are losing votes right along. The Sulzer supporters are leaving no stone unturned. The la oor vote along the whole line iJ for sulzer. In fact his fight here and at Kennecott, Mccarthy and Chitina is being waged by the work ing people. They have practically taken charge of the campaign against Wickersham.
 Wickersham is trying to make the most of the approaching Inter state Commerce hearings.
 "Under.Hand Stuff" Being Worked
 The wickcrsham party is trying to work "under.hand stuff clrculat- ing tales about Sulzer and his mine and all manner of things, but they are gaining nothing by 1t.
 Wlckersham's allegation that the fish trust" is paying Senator Sul- gers campaign expenses is laughed at. It is pointed out that Senator Sulzer spent scarcely no money while he was here, while the eyi' dences of Wickersham money are everywhere in the country. He has hired workers while the. Sulzer work CTS are volunteers.
 There is no question but that the Wickersham people, while talking a great deal of bets, are discouraged at the outlook.

EVERYBODY PICKS
 WILSON TO WIN
 PRESIDENCY AGAIN

People arriving in Juneau from the South say that sentiment every where is that President Wilson will be elected next week. Numerous let ters bring the same reports. The papers and by the flood of money ey- sentiment is reflected in the news anywhere to bet on Wilson.
 The PostInteiugencer prints a list Of the States that are claimed for Hughes. and including New York. New Jersey. Indiana, Illinois, Washington. Oregon, Utah, the Da- kotas and other States that inde- pendent authorities usually place in the Wilson or doubtful column, the list shows shortage of II votes in the electoral college.
 It is said that in the moving pie ture shows of Seattle, Portland and other coast cities where good deal of political advertising is being run the applause is mostly for Wilson.
 A travelling salesman tells of a straw ballot among the commission men on Western Avenue taken early in the campaign when it was 5O-odd for Hughes to 3O-odd for Wilson. Last week most of the same men voted again. and the result was 5O- odd for Wilson and 10 for Hughes.
 A letter received by The En- pire from @ travelling salesman who hes completed a trip to the East and back to Seattle, the salesman was a Republican and much interest ed in the campaign when in Juneau last summer, says:
 As per promise. am writing you regarding the political situation as have found it. It looks to me as though Mir. Wilson would be re- elcted by very large. majority II have taken number of straw ballots in trains. They usually run ! 9 Co 1 in favor of Wilson, and un less something unforeseen occurs be tween now and election, I am con yinced that Mir Wilson will win

Three Submarines Now Off Atlantic Coast Ready for Action
 Very Shortly.
BOY-ED IS IN COMMAND
Warfare Against Vessels Leaving the U. S. to Start in About
 Three Weeks.

NEW YORK, Nov 2.-The three U.boats engaged in the raid on com merce off Nantucket have not re- turned to Germany This specific statement has been made. the Her aid says, in the office of Dr. Hein- rich Albert, fiscal agent of the Ger man government. There is no doubt that there is positive knowledge among the German officials here as to the present whereabouts of these submarines. the Herald says.
 The Herald has thi5 to say of developments in the submarine sit uation:
 Acting on the assumption that United States naval vessels will take from the U-boats the burden of life saving. the German admiralty is about to begin, under the personal direction of Capt. Boy-Ed, a ruthless warfare on commerce leaving Ameri- can ports. If plans now made pre- vail, these operations will be started within the next three weeks.
 "The plans contemplate that mer- chant ships shall be attacked in the neighborhood of the American coast unless the submarine are operating in pairs. The purpose of this is to manufacture evidence in advance, when necessary to prove that, if ships are torpe1oed and go to the bottom with their crews and passen- gers, such ships have attempted to ram the submarines after being or dered to haul to.
 Captain Boy-Ed's plan, in this even. is to have one of the submar- ines make its appearance dead ahead of the ship that is to be destroyed. Of necessity, such a vessel would be compelled to make a certain amount of way toward the submar- inc before obeylng this order. This would be taken as conclusive evi-

Col. Richardson Makes Known the Amount of Estimates Submitted
 to Washington
IS UP TO NEXT CONGRESS
Secretary Baker Approves of S1OO,O0O to Be Made Available so Work Can
 Be Started in 1917.

The total estimated cost of the Gastineau Channel Bridge will amount to SsOO,ooo This is the sum asked for by the Alaska Road Com mission for the construction of the bridge and the estimate has been approved by the Secretary of War who will recommend that Congress appropriate stooooO at once and also authorize the Road Commission to contract for sums not to exceed the S2oo,OOO balance, which will al- low for the building of the entire bridge.
 Col. W. ?. Richardson, president of the Road Commission, who has been in Juneau for the past week. and who left for the south on the Marlposa today on his way to Wash ington. authorized the statement of the estimated cost of the bridge. The estimates and budget will be sub mitted to Congress fin December and if passed work on the bridge will start early next spring.
 The plans for the bridge were pre- pared by Oliver A. Hall, civil en- yiueer and bridge expert with the Road Commission. after he Lad spent several weeks taking soundings of the water and depth to bedrock, and surveying the bridge site.
 The Gastineau Bridge project has been before the people of the chan Incl for years and when completed will be one of Che notable bridges of the Pacific coast. connecting as it will Douglas Island with the main land by a bridge 2,461 feet long. or nearly a mile in length. The center span. 5Ol feet in length. will be of steel construction, set on concrete piers and will be of suffic- tent height to allow the free passage of small boats at any stage of the tide.
 The Juneau end of the bridge will be an extension of Eleventh Street. The greatest depth of water in the Channel over which the span will be stretched is 100 feet.
 The width of the bridge will be sufficient for street car line in the center with driveways and walks for pedestrians on each side.
 The depth of the trusses from the center to center of the top and bot tom chords is 75 feet
 The iron and steel required for the bridge will be about 2,500.OOO pounds. Single pieces of the upper chords will weigh 3S tons each.
 The bridge span will be erected on false work and when completed noated out into the channel and raised to the piers on which it will rest.
 The approach from the Juneau end of the bridge will be 1000 feet in length and that on the Douglas Island end will be 96O feet. This makes the total length of the bridge 2.46l feet.
 The approaches will be set on solid concrete piers, and the whole structure will be built of steel.

Wilson in Buffalo.

BUFFALO, Nov. 2. - President Wilson opened his campaign in this state last night and no auditorium or theatre in the city would have been able to hold the thousands who wanted to hear him speak.

 President Wilson disucssed sec tionalism and made a most thorough and complete analysis of the pres ent days political situation.

and found twelve for Wilson, ten for Hughes and two undecided.
 This poll" he said, "is indicative but not conclusive. It is probably inaccurate in its suggestion that Will son will lead Hughes in this re- zion"
 Gardner said the reason for the drift toward Wilson in New York state is the feeling that he has kept the country out of war"
 In conclusion, he said: And on the whole. l should say that Wilson has perhaps a little the better chance to carry New York than has
