JAPAN CoNFIDEs IN PEoPLE

Japan is to relieve the United
States Navy of the task of patrolling
the Pacific. and our Pacific and Asia
tic fleets will, in consequence. be
freed for service in the Atlantic

more numerous and frequent, a
larger force of convoy and patrol
ships will be necessary. This infor-

but from authenticated statements

TELLS STORY OF THE
 DISCOVERY OF NOME

A correspondent who wishes to be known only by the initials c. G. denies that Jafet Lindeberg and Erik Lindblom were the first dis coyerers of gold at Nome. says the Juneau Dispatch recently. He saw story some time ago in this pa- per-t.e story of a fight which occurred in San Francisco over an alleged bill due by Mrs. Lindblom. in this story Lindblom was given again the credit for discovering Nome and "C. G." comes back with the following interesting reply:
 Reading your article referring to Lindeberg and Lindblom as the discovers of the Nome gold I can inform you that neither Lindeberg nor Lindblom was the first dis coverer Of Nomes gold and that neither of them had ever pros pected for mineral in Alaska pre- yious 10 the Nome camp being organized by Gabe Price who took cut the first ten thousand dollars from l:o 8 Anvil creek in 1899 end made rochers for Lindeberg, Lind blom and the others in 1898 and showed them how to use them. They rocked cut eighteen hundred dol lars from September 15 to the freeze-uD. :
 The Mayors Woods O., of Seat tie was formed seven yeara pre- viously to Nome being organized by the writer of this article who is the first white man to find gold at Nome, but came out st the wrong end of the Horn. The writ CT was also the instigators of Holtberg and Blake, the finders Of gold on Anvil creek iR 1898; that is not to say> these men were the first to find gold at zNome, for the writer of this took 8 party of seventeen prospectors in June 1893, and obtained good prospects.

INSANE MAN
 AFTER LISTER

Olympia, March 13 - Shortly after the noon hour today, an nn- identified man, armed with a large pistol, rushed into the office of IT. win w. Ziegaus, Governor Lis ter's private secretary, and de- manded the governor.
 MT. Ziegaus tried to prevent the man from entering Governor Lis ter's private office but he could do nothing with the man, who flour ished his ugly looking pistol.
 The man finally made a break for the governors office, and Gov error Lister, hearing the commo- tion in the outer room, passed in to the vault and out into his sec retary's office just as the man reached the inner office.
 Mir. Ziegaus tried to get him out, but he covered him with the gun and shouted, "Tn have this out with the Governor"
 Just as soon as the Governor had made good his escape, he hur- ried into the office of the State Auditor, where the police were notified
 Officers arrived quickly in re- sponse to the call and the man held them a- bay. The officers took up their stand at the doors and win dows to prevent escape.
 The Sheriff with posse arrived on the scene, and still the man held them off.
 Finally A. W. Calder, a leg lislative employe went in to the man. and after talking with him for 8 few moments, the man hand ed Calder his weapon, and surren- dered himself He said that he was after Lister and that he only kheld the officers off because he was afraid that they would shoot him if they captured him.
 It is believed that the man is insane.

CATASTROPHE TO YAKIMA
 BELGIAN HARE NIARIik D

Yakima, Marh 3 - The refusal of southern mammy employed ill Yakima home to cook a Belgian hare becuse, she sid, the skinned -ail was too long, has raised cain with the Belgian hare market and
 aroused the suspicion that Belgian cats" have been drafted to over come q shortage in the hare sup ply. The fact that a number of family mousers failed to re- spond to the call of the morning milk about the time of the long tailed hare episode has helped to create suspicion in homes where rabbit stew had become established in a place of honor on the family menu.
 Thrifty housewives, keen to take advantage of an opportunity to swat the high cost of living, have been generous patrons of a vender of Belgian hare, whose products al ways were delivered minus the fur. The demand grew as the price of beef ascended and there was a boom in the Belgian hare market. Had i' not been for the colored cooks aversion to long tails where short tails are the style, the vender of rabbit meat might have become a Rockefeller in his line. Now the business not only has dropped off but those who buy de- mand the hare with his jacket on.
