After he had given out the news of the invasion of the California routes yesterday afternoon, Bunch added that his company will enter the kuskokwim river trade also next season. operating at least one freight and passenger vessel between Seward and Bethel, on the Kuskokwim The vast kuskokwim district of Alaska is the last northern region to be developed Lack If steam transportation facilities has held 1t back It is rich in gold and other re sources.
 It is presumed in shipping circles that the -oacific Steamship Company also may in wade the Kuskokwim traffic, with an eye to the future balance of power.
 The Alaska Steamship Company will place the steamship Santa Ana on the route be- schedule providing for calls at Alaska benin sula ports en route Most of these ports now are served in the summer by the fam ous "big little" steamship Dora the aquatic bulldog of the North Pacific The Santa
 ia, with freight and passengers, will sail May 20 from Seattle for Bethel direct, and after discharging there will steam to Sew ard to begin regular service in the run. Bunch said that if the business warrants the Dora also will be operated on the route, The Kuskokwim river service will be main tained from the end of May until the end of August, with a round voyage each month.
 The Santa Ana's ports of cal after leav ing Seward will consist of Seldovla, Kodiak, Uyak, Karluk, Cold Bay Chignlk, Unga, Sand Point King Cove, Belkofsky, Saanak, Scotch Cape, Cape Sarichef, Akutan, Una laska Naknek, Nushagak and thence to Bethel.

OMAHA, Neb, Dec. 18.-As one of the results of the election, Nebraska is to lose William J. Bryan. He has dismantled his ome at Farvew, shipped portion of the furniture to his winter home at Miami, Fla, and is sending his large library, which he realty prizes, to his summer home at Ashe-
 file, N C., where it IS said he will live and asst his vote. Fairview is said to be for ale, although Mir, Bryan's brother, C. w, Bryan, denies that Mir. Bryan has left Ne oraska for all time. Many Nebraska Demo rats believe he has his eye on the Prohl- bition presidential nomination in 1920.
 Mir Bryan has been deposed as the Dem cratic leader in Nebraska by United States 'enator G. M Hitchcock, who was re ,ected over Mir Bryan's most determined opposition Furthermore, Keith Neville, then unknown man from the western part 2f the state, who was taken up by Mir Hitchcock, defeated Charles w.

CHRISTMAS DAY DOG RACE
 FURNISHED SPORT AT RUBY

The Ruby Hospital race, run last Christ mas day, furnished surprises to those inter ested in the various canine speed ball' piloted by the dog men oi this vicinity. Walter Goyne's team showed speed equal to he best of George Jimmy of last year, and 2. Coke Hill got into the money.
 Last year George Jimmy made 24 Ql, beating G,a- -Se Carl wien the latter made ais best tiIne But the track he 7an cn WAS just S sixth of mile shorter than the present one which makes his performance and that of Walter Goyne practically tie. Many expected to see Alex Brown win, and even money was wagered freely, taking hiu against the field. Brown himself said that his dogs were sore-footed and stiff as the result of thair long rUn to Fairbanks aud return during the recent cold weather. but. with Jimmy not running, 1t was generally expected that Brown would win George Jimmy did not come up from Louden be- cause two of his dogs were in such poor c0ncitlun due to accidents, that they cculi not run.
 Probably the most mertorlous perform ance, save Goyne's, vas that oi team picked up by G. C. Capt. Lamont, which was composed of q combination of Dr Goods dogs, Joe Greens (the Fred Swanson teamj and Honey's jfrom Loudenl.

 ON BELGIAN DECORATIONS

Nicomte Davignon, son of q former Bel gian minister of foreign affairs, has informed London correspondents that appalling de tails Of the German deportation raids have been received from Belgium, particularly from Antwerp snd Waterloo. Ire vicomte renews hig plea that the United States take action.
 Among the Belgian men dapor.cd from Antwerp the vicomte says, were s.x priests a vicar, many teachers and students, end married workmen dwelling in Antwerp and he suburbs of BorgehCut and RercheGn. Al the cenrtGl station et Antwerp an- other number of deportecs have been dis tributed in groups of seventy to eighty who were given tickets without indication of their destination.
 Already 5000 persons have been deported from Antwerp. At Waterloo 9ll men be- tween the ages of 17 and 50 were called out and the street barred by soldiers. An actual razzia of le-bodied men followed. The refusal of the municipalities to furnish lists of the unemployed is given by the Ger man authorities as the direct cause of the carrying of of the employed men.
 A Brussels paper controlled by the Ger iIluIS S FS llihl SiL l4iio iS tue u Iiit lS'C' that owing to their scruples Belgian work men generally refuse to work on repairs of railway material, under the preteXt that ii 1t was repaired the material eventually would be employed for miEtGry purposes.
 The Belgian authorities cxFlain the un employment of Belgian workmcn by say ing that 00,000 are condemned to !dleness due to the measures taken by the German authorities themselves. Industry has been crippled since the first year. Work has been made impossible by a decree forbid, ing the Belgians to work outside their homes as in Belgium most of the indus trial districts get their workmen entirely or partly from villages and hamlats five or ten miles away.
 It has become impossible to run the re maining factories This country Of E:g.lt railroads has been deprived of it's cars and rails, which were sent to the Russian front Tires of bicycles have been seized, and work men are unable to reach the factories.

POSSIBILITIES OF AERIAL MAIL
 INVESTIGATED BY NOME MAN

Eric Johnson, the well-known mail con tractor, was an arrival in Nome from the Yukon Sunday, after an extended visit to the Outside, which included 8 soJourn at the Curtis school Of aviation ct San Diego, Cal, where he investigated the possibilities of transmitting mails by aeroplanc with view to operating an aerial mail service il the event that satisfactory arrangements can be made with the government, according to an article in the Nome Nugget of Oc- t0ber 17.
 Mir. Johnson spent considerable time learning the method of handling the swift air machines, and speaks in interesting man ner of his flights at the Curtis school fields, and also at the government aviation field ln the same locality.
 He says it is a whole lot different from mushing dogs, as the aeroplane Is decidedly more temperamental than are canne8, but he found it comparatively easy when the idea was once grasped His flights were made with an experienced aviator, although Johnson frequently guided the machine hlm- self after he had become acquainted With the system of control. He states that pupils receive their tutelage in machines with double system of controls, by means of which the instructor can rectify any mis- takes of the student by means of his own control, thus obviating all danger of dlsas- ter overtaking the neophyte, MT. Johnson says that the only time one realizes the ter rife speed of the machines is when leaving the ground Once in the air, all sense ot i rapid motion Is lost, and the machine ap- pears to be floating smoothly along at a ! eisurely pace. Flying in plane IS hardly 1 a novel experience any more, he ayers, and all kinds of people, both male and female, indulge in skitters through the air at the ! training schools. MT. Johnson mentions an cid lady of 74 years who made a flight while he was at the Curtis school, and who thor oughly enjoyed her experience.
 MT. Johnson investigated particularly the adaptability of the aeroplane to the condi tions obtaining in this country, and an nounces that he is perfectly satisfied wltt the possibilities of transmitting the mails during the summer season in all parts o
 'e country, but further improvements art essential to successful operation Tn the win
 CT. He says that the extreme cold of thi'
 'tude makes 1t practically impossible fol a human being to sit long in machine without protection from the cold air.
 Housing of some character, and alsc warmth, must be provided before an avi ator can make the long flights entailed II Alaska mail transportation For summer service Johnson favors the hydroplane, a. he says that the numerous lakes and river offer ideal landing and starting places
