GROUND HOGS
 DAY COLDEST
 KNOWN HERE Sun Shines Bright and Six More Weeks of Win
 ter Promised

This is the coldest day in Stewards history, or since records have been kept of the weather here.
 1t is also ground hog" day, and the ground hog could have seen his shadow had be been foolish enough to come out of his hole at the risk of freezing his toes and nose.
 Thermometers supplied by the U. s. weather bureau in service at the station near the Seward hotel indicat- ed minimum of 1412 degrees below zero during the hours between mid night and morning. The instrument on the second floor of the railroad building showed IA below.
 At points nearer the bay the higher temperatures were noted but nothing above 10 below.
 Records kept at the Seward Ligar & Power company show the coldest temperature recorded at the plant to be 1912 below at 4:30 this morning The coldest prior record was l2 below
 Records from along the line of the railroad show the following minimum temperatures this morning-4S at Mile 34, 20 at Mile Fl and -31 at An chorage.
 Frank Youngs reported last night that it was 52 below at Mile 29 yes terday which surpasses the record at Mile "A, heretofore considered the coldest spot on the line.
 Advance warning of this cold wave was given two days ago by the con tinued cold at Mile 34.
 Temperatures noted at Mile 34 for the past four days ranged from -@T to minus Al.
 According to the old ground hog" theory there will be six more weeks of winter because the sun shOne to- day, enabling the hog to see his shadow.
 Outlook for an early break up, is not good, according to weather sharps who to back up their contention point to the thaw at the first of the winter and again in January, the old adage being that winter severe at the start, followed by thawS will be long

IS SHOWN ID LEAD
 BY ONLY NINE
Delegate Contest Close, Murray Wins in Third
 Over Holland

JUNEAU, Friday. Feb. 2. - With the official canvass as near completed as possible until missing returns are in the result to date show Wicker sham leading in the race for delegate by 2% votes.
 The missing precincts on unofficial count gave Sulzer 94 and Wickersham "A, while in Utica which has not been counted, Wickersham leads by 6 so that if the official count verifies these figures the delegate lead will be cut to 9 votes, making it one of the closest elections in the country.
 The canvassing board have given the following figures: First division, complete, Sulzer 2,S95, Wickersham 1906.
 Second division without Utica where WickerSham leads by six, gives Sulzer 673, Wickersham SS6.
 Third diviSon complete except Port Wells and Sanak where no elections were held, Sulzer 1898, Wickersham FOOT.
 Fourth division, without Flat, KantiShna, Dikeman, Otter and Rein deer, gives Sulzer 1895 and Wicker sham 1,6OO.
 Nothing has been heard from Reindeer, while other missing pre- cincts of the Fourth division give Sul- ger 94 votes and Wickersham "A, on the unofficial count.
 In the Third division the final count shows that Murray, Republican has defeated Holland by eight votes, due to the Bristol bay votes being receiv- ed in time to be counted.
 It is conceded that when Utica is counted in the Second division that Corrigan, Democrat will have defeat ed Reed for representative.
 The legislature now stands as fol- lows:
 Senate-Five Republicans and three Democrats.
 House-Seven Republicans and seven Democrats with one independ- ent and enc seat vacant until speci- al election is held in March to elect successor to Held, Republican.

Plans covering work 0H the Sew ard division provide for the recon struction of all bridges so that by next fall the old line between here anG Mile II will be ready for heavy traffic.
 Important conferences have been held recently by the construction en- gineers on the various divisions. The frs, of these conferences was held here and the second at Anchorage.
 The decisions arrived at have not been announced but it is evident that 1917 is to be marked by the greatest activity on the part of the Alaskan Engineering commission.
 It is probable that among the ques- tionS taken up was the problem of securing the necessary labor as the bringing of several thousand men in- to the territory is quite proposition in itself.

Petigrew and Rempfer want
peace and democracy. The pro-
per place for such propaganda is
in Germany. We have declared
war on Germany in self defense
and since it is a part Of our pro-
gram to demand no ~indemnities,
we shall be willing to end the war
as soon MS Germany wants to, but
not at its terms, which would be
peace with glorious victory" for
Germany Of course.
A majority, we do not say all of
them, Of the German papers in

pie in this country. Anarchist
papers are barred and they are no
worse than some of these German
rags.
"Womanhood" was shown at
the movies to a packed house both
Saturday and Sunday. 1t was a
great lesson in possibilities of in
vasion by a military enemy and
what would happen, if this coul-
try was caught unprepared. The
enemy in this case, either thru
fear or favor, was called "Rurita-
MIA" The writer of the play
could have just MS we'll shot it out
straight from the shoulder instead
of beating about the bush and call
ed the enemy of this country and
democracy Germany and be done
with it. Horrible scenes of devas
tation, murder and butchery were
thrown on the scene, which multi
piled several thousand times will
give one a fairly good angle on
the doings Of the German barbara
ans in Europe. Pictures of this
kind will help immensely in a.
Weakening America to its peril
from Prussianism.
