The local Republican committee men have postponed the meeting of the territorial committee which had been called for Seward today. 1t was announced yesterday that the prOpos- ed meeting would be postponed. The committeeman only know, evidently, that Chairman Heron asked the post ponement, only that and nothing more although political whispers suggest that deep down beneath the surface there is something doing, and that in that something are involved the names of Shackleford, BaylesS, Wickersham and some of the leaders of the regular forces to whom Bayless, the present national committeeman, is, like Cap tain Boy-EG, presona non grata. A few days will bring out some inter- esting events in the ranks of the party most likely,

Thirty Ounces of
 Gold from Cold Bay
Dora Took No One Out or In and Had
 No Direct News.

The amount of gold coming on the Dora this time from the Cold Bay strike was about thirty ounces in the opinion of Wireless Operator Mus grave of that vessel. The gold came to be used for paying for supplies and was not intended to be banked. The Dora took no one out or in direct ly connected with the strike and so has no direct information. It is known that the region is included in the gold belt as described by the Geological Survey. A ledge was discovered between Cold Bay and Katmai and is said to rather prom ising. Deputy Ike Evans is writing Carl Armstrong at Kodiak to see if he can secure any more particulars of the strike. It is apparent that what has been discovered so far is not rich according to the standards of the great camps but the find is mighty significant and the fact that so very few people have prospected there makes it all the more promising. The question now is whether it would b, worth taking a chance on it or not.

ANCHORAGE NOW
 FEARS MEN LOST
RESCUE PARTY THAT STARTED FOR FIRE ISLAND LOST
 SIGHT OF.

ANCHORAGE, Jan. 27.- Grave fears are now entertained for the safety of Ole Jacobson, Wicks, Ker- win and Balcimer, members of the rescue party which started across on Tuesday from Point Campbell in the effort to reach Fire Island and take off the men who have been marooned there for some days. They were fol- lowed with the aid of field glasses as they went to the island and were then seen to start back from the island again. They could be seen plainly with the aid of glasses from Point Campbell as they began the return journey but then fog settled down screening them from view and up to this morning nothing has been heard from them. The people here are now admittedly very anxious about them. George Vauss, of the Commission, who is heading a rescue party, thinks he saw boat coming out from Turn again Arm last Tuesday and going towards the island. Since that time there has been no response from the island to the signalsfred by him and in a letter to Mears Vauss expresses the belief that there is no one left on the island now.

Seward Woman Best
 Rustler in Alaska
Gateway Bets Fifty Thousand Dol
 lars on Mrs. Johnson.

The Gateway is safe in betting fifty thousand dollars that Mrs. Rose Johnson, now of Seward, is the best woman rustler in all this wide North ern territory. It could stake a mil lion with absolute equanimity be- cause for two reasons. it could never lose the million, and one reason is that the litle lady would be sure to prove the winner.
 Mrs. Johnson is a freighter, When that is said it means an immense lot. Over the winter trails with her dog team, through deep snow, chilling temperature and freezing winds Mrs. Johnson carries freight between the different localities from Seward to Matanuska. In Matanuska she has a homestead where she grows her own vegetables and a roadhouse where, at the proper time, she attends to the wants of the mushers in a manner that brings down their fervent praise This would be enough but listen: Two days ago Mrs. Johnson found no immediate business pressing and out she went to Mile Six and there she caught two hundred salmon trout which she will take for sale to An chorage. Her work could be written about for a volume and it is inpos- sible here to tell it all but one more little fact must be mentioned which reflects credit on this office by it's as- sociation with this lady. The last time she carried freight to Matanuska she took along thirty or more copies of the All-Alaska Review and sold every one of them. On her next trip she will take fifty copies of the Jan uary number of the Review and ex- poets to dispose of them all. fe Washington Wise onesl Here is an Alaska woman.

FOUR SOCIALISTS IN
 PRESIDENTIAL RACE
Desire to Gain Nomination on
 Their National Ticket

Chicago, Jan 6.-Socialists of the United States will begin voting in a referendum on their national ticket next Monday. When the time limit for acceptances of nominees for presi- dent, vice president, national execu- tive committeeman and executive sec retary closed Tuesday night, there were four candidates in the field for the presidency, two for the vice presidency thirty-one for national committeeman, and four for executive secretary. Sixty days will be allowed to cast ballots.
 Nominees for the Presidency are Allan l.. Benson of Yonkers, N. Y, magazine contributor; James H. Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, Reading, Pa. :; Arthur Lesueur, vice-president of sas, and Seymour Stedman, lawyer and former member of the Illinois Assem mbly, Chicago.
 Nominees for the Vice-Presidency are George R. Kirkpatrick, New York, and Kate Richard O'Hare, one of the editors of Ripaw, St. Louis.
 Russell Declined Nomination.
 Among the declination for the Presidential nomination was that of Charles Edward Russell of New York, who led in the voting following the Geclination of Eugene V. Debs. MT. Russells refusal was received late last week, and while no reason was assigned by the New York editor it is general believed among leaders of the party in Chicago that he found himself out of tune with the tenets of the party in the light of his re- cent magazine articles on perpared ness.
 National leaders in Chicago freely admit there is strong probability that the referendum will not be settled until the middle of the summer. They

 First came the declination of MT. Debs in the middle of the referendum. The Debs following, which had not voted for nominees, then hocked' to Russell. With Debbs and Russell both out of the running, either one of whom, it is asserted by party leaders, probably would have won. no pro- phesies are forthcoming as to who will be the victor.
 Benson led the remaining field in the final count on nominees. Under the rules of the party, the winner IS required to have a majority of votes, and in the event of no choice the two names having the greatest number of votes will be resubmitted for the presidency, two for the vice presi- 'dency,, ten for the executive com 1nittee and two for the executive sec Tetary.

confronted with new conditions The purchasing power of the whole world will have been very greatly reduced. Foreign countries who: are now buy ing our product, because compelled will withdraw their patronage in large measure. Other nOn-producing countries will find their financial re- sources and credits lessened. More than this, foreign producers, in great need, will strive more diligently than ever to supply the countries that are financially able to pay and at prices based upon cheap labor and low cost, as they have a perfect right to do.
 Our producers, including the wage earners, will find themselves in com mercial antagonism with the most persistent and difficult competition ever experienced unless this shall be prevented by laws that are reason able and sufficient. This is not a question of politics nor for political parties as such. It Is one of econ omics and of good business and it af- fleets all the people. It is a ques- tion of the greatest good to the great est number. There should be an eff fort to ascertain and establish a line of justice and fairness between the producer and the consumer.
 Cooperation Necessary.
 "This is an epoch. Times are Serious,, perhaps critical. Financial commercial and industrial interests of this country may be firmly established on an independent and invulnerable foundation, but there must be CO., operation between all classes and de- partments, private and public.
 We must be prepared for radical changes in volume, in prices and re- sources. There is danger of over confidence. We have observed this before and We shall see it again. It is possible the banks will over extend their credits, particularly in favor of foreign interests who offer attractive rates, but they will take care of that matter for themselves. We business men should realize there is possible danger ahead in the busi- ness outlook and if we proceed with caution, however aggressively, we will have done no harm and we may here after have reason for congratuIat1on. We have the greatest country with the greatest opportunities and may prop erly be hopeful and confident
