WANT ROAD
 ID iOITAROD

CordoYa - Iditarod operators, who represent heavy investments in the interior section of Alaska along the rivers flowing into the lower Tux, D, are taking an active interest in the proposed line of the goVern- ment's system of railroads in Alas ka, which will extend from the Seward Fairbanks line into western Alaska, says the times of this city.
 New discoveries in the Iditarod and Innoko districts assure the i'm Uortance of this immense area lying north of the mountains and west Of Mt. Mckinley
 Freight rates to the Iditarod at present are $1OO per ton. Operators like ]. E, Riley and others who have dredgea or large hydraulic plants pay immense sums each year to the transportation companies.
 Ordinary ground cannot be work ed because it will not pay the eX- penses of operating.
 Tolstoi lay undiscovered for seV- en years because the prospectors found only 10-cent pans on bedrock and if did not look like pay ill the face of the high cost of supplies
 From a practical mining stand point thousands of miles of creeks along the rivers of this section have never been scratched and the real mineral wealth of the country north west of Seward is still unknown.
 Good pay in Ophir, Flat creek Marshall City and other sections or the district shows that it is a high ly desirable place to prospect.
 A railroad is needed to supply cheaper fuel and cheaper supplies In a short time the line to Fair banks will be complete and that camp will be enjoying the adVant- ages of railroad transportation.
 It is the contention of Iditaroders that work could be started at an early date on, the line to the low CT Yukon, and better results ob- tained and more progress made thar to wait until the Fairbanks line is completed. The construction organ iSation of the Alaskan engineering commission is complete and will be brought to high state of efficienc, dur!Lg the coming year.

COPPER MINES
 B|G PRODUCERS

Washington, Jan. 17-Ln speaking of the copper situation for the year ending, Dec. 1916, the Unit ed States geological survey bulle- tin issued today states in part:
 The production of copper from the mines of the United States for 1916 was more than double that Of 1G years ago and more than four times that of 20 years ago. The pro fit resulting from the domestic pro- ducticn was far greater in 1916 than ill any previous year. It is prob ably safe to say that 1t exceeded $3OO,OOO,OOO.
 The average price of copper for 1916 showed g marked increase o5eI that of the preceding year, being slightly above 27 cents a pound compared with 17.4 cents in 1915.
 Much of the copper was sold several weeks or months in advance of delivery, and 1t ia therefore nrobable that the actual average price received differs somewhat frtR the average of the daily quotations for immediate delivery. The gen. eral trend of the market would in- dicate that the actual price receiV- ed may be below that indicated by. the average of quotations.
 The output from Alaska estimat- ed at over 12O, ,OOO,O0O pounds com pares with 7O,6OO,OO0 pounds for 1915. !. I k;IEs.i

CIRCUIT COURT
 BACKS JENNINGS

Washington, Jan. 15-The Unit ed States Supreme Court today In | far-reaching decision refused writ Of review in the famous Alas ka Territorial license tax law cases, and all canning and mining compan- ies in the Northland will be com pelled to pay taxes on their out put to both the Territorial and Fed eral governments.
 The decision of the supreme court followed appeals in test suits from the lower court. The cases were tried before Judge Robert W. Jennings of the United States dis trict court at Juneau. He held the Territorial laws to be valid. An ap- peal was taken to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals wich af- firmed the decisions of Judge Jen- nings. The United States Supreme Court has now refused to grant writ of reviews from the Circuit Court of Appeals.
 The decision is regarded as one of great importance to Alaska. It not only validates the laws inTolV- ed in the cases at issue, but makes r. clear that the Circuit Court of Appeals is the final authority in constituting Alaskan laws.
 The Juneau Empire in comment ing on the above says in a recent issue: '.t
 Local attorney for the corpora tions involved in the license cases thaA are pending in the United States Supreme Court, believe that the Supreme Court has decided only those cases that were taken up from the United States Circuit Court of Appeals on certiorari-which is a proceeding for a review of the pro- ceedings n the lower courts. They believe that the court has yet 10 decide the cases that were appealed on a writ of error, setting up Con- stitutional objections to the law of Alaska.
 Hellenthal and Hellenthal receiv- ed a telegram today saying the ap- pllcation for a writ of certiorari had been refused by the United States Supreme Court. Nothing was said about the cases that had been appealed on 8 writ of error.

DESTROY BALLOTS AT
 KNIK AND SELDOVIA

Juneau, Jan. 1S-Word comes from the Westward that the election officers destroyed the ballots af- ter counting them at Seldoyia and Knik. It is contended that if a re- count were demanded and allowed that the returns from these precincts would necessarily be thrown out, because the law re- Quires that the ballots voted at the election be included with the returns.
 r this information is correct a recount would add to SulZer's plu- rality. Unofficial returns from the two precincts mentioned give Wick ersham 9S votes and Sulzer 24 "a Wickersham plurality of 74. The returns given for each precinct were as follows: Knik, Sulzer II; Wickersham 43; Seldovia, Sulzer 13, Wickersham 55.

4 SWIFT GAME
 Is PREDICTED

Just what the line up will be has not been decided upon, but this is known. "The game of basket ball berween the Elks teams and the White Pass Athletic Club team to- morrow night will be some game"
 Huh is an Elk, and he will play on the Elks team. Bert Mckenzie IS not an Elk, and he will play on the Club team. That fixes the question of the stellar lights.
 Then there is Liddicoat and Erie dentnal, HaTgrayes and Ask Bro thers, and Mathews, Smith and Ra- puzzi, and this is not all, for this is merely naming the players in the Firemen-Athletics team of last Friday nights play
 The Sbagway league will train for a possible contest with the Gastineau channel teams, and it is safe 10 predict that should a match be arranged for, the boys from the head of Lynn canal will make Q gccd accounting for themselves.
 The skagway league have arrang- ed a schedule for games to be play ed at home, and the last game will be played on March g. each team having played each other three times, and the winner will become the permanent owners of the trophy
 The schedule for the remainder of the season is as follows:
 Jan. 19th-Ell1s Ys. Club.
 Jan. 26th-Firemen Vs. Elks.
 Feb. 2nd-Firemen vs. Club.
 Feb. 9th-Elks ys. Club. Feb. 16th-Firemen vs. Elks.
 Feb. 23rd-Firemen vs. Club.
 Mar. 2nd-EIks vs. Club.

THE EXPECTED HAS HAPPENED

An indeDendent steamship con- pany has practically completed It's arrangements for operating in Soutt eastern Alaska next spring and gum mer, with headquarters at Prince Rupert. This company has al- ready one ship arranged for and has contracted for canned salmon to the extent of 4,OO0,0O0 cases, which can be shipped via Prince Rupert and it's rail connections to all East ern points in Canada and by steam ship lines to Europe. Details Of this arrangement are to be found elsewhere in this impression and the srangsst and most important feature of the whole is the Possi- billty of Seattle being hit another blow in It's great fishing industry without any power to alter the situ- Rtion. -RailWay and Marine News.

TELL my wife I'm here. She'll
have me out on bond in two min
utes," pleaded Jasper Hogg when
arrested here last night.
But his wife didn't appear. The
man spent the night in the city
Jail.
Over in the women's quarters
of the Jail woman had pleaded
with Turnkey Jack Cole: "My
husband will get me out. Tell
him I'm here"
She, too, spent the night in jail.
Today, as Hogg was waiting to
march into the courtroom, out OF
the women's quarters came his
wife. The bride and bridegroom
of two days then knew why each
had failed to come to the aid
of the other.
Jasper was fined $40. Then
Police Judge Watts discovered
that one of the women prisoners
was Mrs. Hogg. He gave her the
same fine.
Hogg was charged with engag-
ing in street fight; his wife
with intoxication.

STRANGER THWARTED
BY MOTHER OF GIRL
Wedding Trip Fifty Years
After Ceremony; News
Of Neighborhood

Coshocton, Dec. 30--Startling dis
closures are expected when the case
of Walter Brelsdorf, q, arrested this
week at his home in Bacon Run by
Assistant State Fire Marshal w. b,
Matthews, on charge of having set
fire to the flour mill of the Hanley
Milling Co., valued at 100000, on Oc-
tober 16, 1916, comes UP for hearing.
Breisford is only 27 years of age
and has borne an exceptionally good
reputation in the county. 1t is limited,
however, that the relations between
him and T. ]. Hanley, proprietor Of
the mill, have been strained some
what in the past. A possible motive
for the alleged incendiarism is seen
in this trouble.
Brelsford's arrest created small
sensation at Bacon Run. Citizens of
that place pin great faith in his in
nocence. His most recent employ
ment has been with Mr.. Sickler who
insists that Brelsford always spoke
most highly of Mr.. Hanley, by whom
he had formerly been employed as a
teamster.
