Prices Remained Firm
But Trading Was Dull

New York, Aug. 10.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Although there were indications in
the character of the early trading that
prices might move throughout the day
toward higher levels on an expanding
volume of business, general results
were Disappointing to the bull traders,
particularly in respect of the amount
of outside participation in the dealings.
The advance of the day before failed
to attract genuine public demand and
to a great extent it was this absence of
public response, together with realiz-
ing sales that accounted for the heavy
tendency of quotations following the
forenoon improvement.
Prices in the opening dealings gener-
ally were at small advances from the
closing of the preceding day, with ac-
tivity pronounced in the prominent is
sues, which were the leading features
in the sharp upward movement in We'd
nesday's final operations.
Although early afternoon trading ac-
companied marked falling off in ac-
tivity, in most parts of the list and a
tendency to sag from the early high
points. the general undertone remained
firm with talk in the various commits
sion houses favoling still further i'm
provement. The expectation of big
British loan here against American Sc
curities as collateral created favor
able impression and in some quarters
the idea that such loan would elimin-
ate for the present at least liquidation
of foreign-ow securities in this mar
ket was considered a strong enough
argument upon which to base a real bull
speculation.
In the greater part of the afternoon
the general market was inactive but
generally strong.
Bonds were in relatively good demand
but the general investment buying was
light. Money was easy while in foreign
exchange sterling and francs We're
slightly lower.

Death List Grown.

Charleston, w. Va, Aug. l0.-Scores
of persons, reported missing early TO-
day as the result of the cloudburst that
swept the Cabin Creek, Paint Creek and
Coal Creek districts were accounted for
in later dispatches which greatly re-
duced earlier estimates of the number
of dead.
Late estimates indicate that the toll
of dead may reach so and it is the be-
lief that others may be dead in the
Paint Creek and Coal river valleys.
Fourteen bodies have been recovered
from the debris between the mouth of
Cabin Creek and Leewood, 10 miles up.
All except one are those of women and
children.
William j. Mcbride made his way
down the creek from Ronda to the june
tion today and later to Charleston.
Everything has gone" he said and
Investigation can only reveal how many
are dead. The little towns near the
mouth of the creek have beewn swept
clean.
Acres of Debris.
Everywhere it is mass of debris.
Houses, trees, mine tipples, railroad
ears and telephone poles the thrown
together in a heap miles long and there
are dead beneath.
"Men and women who were seen
cinging perilously to houses borne
down the stream toward Ronda were
never seen to pass that point and we
fear they are now part of the mass
of wreekage lodged against the railroad
bridge there"
\ million feet of lumber is piled
mountain high at that point and it will
take days to pull it down.
The loss to the coal companies oper
ating in the Cabin Creek coal fields vii
reach 100000.
Five members of the FAMILY Of Johr
l.ikens. who lived at Giles were discov
cred. The bodies of the wife and moth
er and three children lie in morgu,
at the mouth of Cabin Creek.

FORTY Y-STAMP MILL COMING FOR WILLOW CREEK
STRIKE ON RAILROAD
NO TROUBLE LOOKED FOR UN- LESS THE THING Is AGI-
 HATED TOO MUCH.

ANCHORAGE, Feb. 7.-The report arrived ths morning that the steel gang employed on the railroad at reters creek has gone out on strike for higher wages. That the strike has occurred there can be not the least doubt and Deputy Marshal Shultz and Anderson leave for the scene today to be ready to case their services might be needed. The fact that they went out, however, does not mean that any trouble is looked for. From all accounts there has been not the slightest sign of trouble thus far and none is anticipated.
 The proposed organization of the railroad workers has not been affected yet.

Alex McComber, the champion stampeder of Alaska, arrived in town yesterday and had to do it by water as he had just come over the trail from the interior to Valdez. Alex was one of the first into Dawson but he went to that modern burg from "dOwn the river somewhere" Since then he has hit every camp in Alaska and when civilization crowded him out of this little territory he went across from Nome to Siberia until the Russians threatened to intern him. Back he came and first he met Ruby where he hit the paystreak for a time. Then came the Shushanna, Nelchina and the rest and Mac is look ing for another. Mr. McComber was in business in Dawson in the early days. He is going to look over this place for a while.

MAYOR FAVORS
 THE NEW LAW
SAYS OFFICIALS OF CITY OUGHT TO BE ELECTED
 SEPARATELY,

Mayor Myers of Seward, like most people who have given sufficient thought to the subject, is strongly in favor of adopting the new mumcipal election rules, passed by the terri rorial legislature, which provide that the officials, city attorney, treasurer clerk, etc., be elected independently of the city council itself. He believes that the present system of selecting officials is the cause of nearly all the splits and trouble that come in city councils. He considers it ridiculous to assume that because a city attor- ney is elected independently he would not act in harmony with the council and he points out that a city attorney in any event would have to do his duty and, indeed, could not avoid do- ing his duty unless he quits office aI- together. Mir. Myers also believes that, as the new law provides, the holding over of three members of the council each year would render the municipal governing body more ef- ficient. One particular thing on which the mayor lays stress is that paid fire department should be established for several reasons, and one good reason is that it would reduce the insurance rates. The new law can only be put into effect by the circulation of petition asking for a special election on the subject.

WILL SWEDEN
 JOIN GERMANY
SHE FEARS RUSSIAN AGGRES- SION AND YEARNS TO
 LIBERATE FINLAND.
Especial to Gateway by United PressJ

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 COPENHAGEN, Feb. 2-(By MaiD-The Scandinavian business situation furnishes a sidelight on the swedish, Danish and Norwegian at titudes toward the war. Sweden is a near-belligerent. She fears Russian aggression, with a view to acquiring a warm water port on the Norwegian coast, a port which can only be reach ed by a grab of Swedish and Nor wegian territory. She yearns to re- cover Finland. She is not so much pro-German, but she is strongly anti Russian. That she will yet attack Russia is not bad guess.
 Denmark hates Germany for the loss of Schleswig- g-Holstein. She fears future German aggression. She sym pathizes with England. She would like to fight, if at all, on the allies side but she could so easily be over run, across her border, by German forces that she is naturally afraid. If she fights at' all it must be with the allies but there is no doubt she will remain neutral if she can.
 Noway's interest is the same as Swedens. She has nothing to gain, indeed, as Sweden has, in Finland by attacking Russia, but her peril from Russia's anxiety for an Atlantic port is a great as Sweden,s can be.
 However, she has more interest in developing her merchant fleet than in anything else. She has small dis position to risk its destruction by the British navy. For this reason, though it seems natural that Norway should join the Swedes in the event of a clash with Russia, the Norwegian view point is not like Swedens at all.
 Like Denmark, though for different reasons, Norway undoubtedly will re- main neutral if she possibly can.

WANT FIFTY CENTS AN HOUR


 ANCHORAGE, Feb. S.-Since wir- ing you yesterday of the strike Of track layers labor meeting yves held last night at which it is estimated a thousand men were present and reso- lutions were adopted calling for a minimum wage scale of fifty cents an hour, time and a half for oveetime and double time for holidays. The strike at Peters creek was endorsed and motion prevailed that none take their place. A strikers committee was selected. The slinners also quit work today. All nationalities were represented at the meeting which adjourned until tonight. There is nothing new about the strike. Some of the men have come to town. A few of them speak radically but most are conservative and unless the thing is agitated too much it is believed that the officials and the men will come to an agreement and will go along smoothly. (The Gateway got the news of the little strike yesterday but the paper was issued early to cath the boat on which the Republican Committeeman went, so that they might have all the news possible, the cable being down.
