OBJECTION TO RIGGS

Opposition has appeared in certain quarters to the appointment of Thomas Riggs for the alleged ground that he is carpetbagger, and an Alaskan pioneer. Nothing could be further from the fact. MT. Riggs was KOndike stampeder to Alaska 20 years ago. Shortly after his arrival in Alaska went to Dawson where he employed in mining. He returned to Alaska then and was again engaged in mining. Later he returned the States and se- cured employment with the Alaska work of United States Geological Survey. and shortly afterward was selected to represent the United States surveying and marking the boundary between this country and Canada. His work occupied several years, and then he was appointed to place the Alaska Railroad Engineering Commission From early manhood he has been identified with Alaska wherever he has and left indeible marks of his ability and his Alaskan spirit.

RUBY'S OUTLOOK GOOD
(Ruby Record -Citizen)

(Ruby Record -CitiZen)
 At present, Ruby is passing through transient season of pessmism That is due to the fact that there have been recent developments to the south of us. No new prospecting is under way as the ground is too soft at present to permit sinking holes without their sloughing in.
 But Ruby has more reason for optimism. We have, back of mineralbearing ground and, as soon roads in better shape low grade gravel can be mined at profit.
 There is nothing to fear as to the permanency of the camp It's future is Men must not permit themselves to become dsheartened by the off seasons. Men who have been in the mining game for long time understand these quiet spells As soon as the cold weather sets in, the ground freezes, and work starts once more, Ruby camp will again be Ruby camp.

AUSTIN, Aug. 22.-By Saturday at the latest Governor James E.. Fergu- son should know whether he will have tJ stand trial before the state senate on bill of impeachment presented by the house of representatives. Taking of testimony on the 13 charges prefer red by Speaker F. o. Fuller was con cluded today and tonigth. At o'clock the committee of the whole met to hear the arguments of opposing coun- sells. The committee after a two-hour session recessed under the rules until g o'clock tomorrow morning when an additional six hours of arguments will be begun.
 Counsel on each side has been allot- ted four hours. Following them, mem- bers of the house probably will be al lowed to speak While no announce ment has been made, it is expected that when voting begins each charge will be considered separately. This should, legislative leaders say, bring final action late Friday or some time Saturday.
 Despite the vote of the house com mittee of 70 to 56 that Ferguson must tell who loaned him the S156,000 to pay off bank debts. the governor to- day maintained his silence.

PRICE POLICY MAY
 BE FIXED VERY SOON
(Continued From Page One)

winter in regard to the fuel situation will be to produce sufficient amount of coal to meet the minimum require ments and that the mining scale be increased proportionately with the in- creasing cost of the necessaries of life," President John P. White and Secretary Treasurer William M. Green of the United Mine Workers of Amer ica issued a statement today saying that the organization is greatly con cerned as to the effect the prices fixed will have on the wage scale of the miners. The statement continues:
 9Th order of the president states that the scale of prices fixed is sub ject to reconsideration when the whole method of mining the fuel supply of the country shall have been satisfac- torily organized and put into opera tion. We feel this provision is sufii- ciently elastic to provide a readjusi- ment of prices so tha tthe mine work CTS may be given a substantial in- crease in the present mining scale, when it is taken up for consideration.
 Tt is the purpose of the miners international organization to present to the governmental agency, which shall be named by the president to administer the price and distribution of coal, the just claim of the coal min CTS of America for not only a substan- tial by justifiabel increase in the min ing scale, when the proper time for such actio narrives. We wish the pub lie to be furnished coal at a fair and reasonable price. On the other hand we insist the mining scale must be in- creased approximately with the in creasing cost of the necessaries of life"

NEW YORK EXCHANGE.

NEW YORK, August 22.-The ac- tion of the government in enforcing reduced prices for soft coal, with the belief that similar proceedings are to be instituted in regard to anthricite, created widespread unsettlement of .t the stock exchange today.
 Coalers and shares of roads which derive the greater part of their reve- nue from the transportation of that commodity reacted sharply at extreme declines of to ' points.
 Labor conditions in their bearing on the shipbuilding situation and reports of a fresh Teutonic offense against Russia were among the additional de velopments used by the bears to de- press values. Trading encompassed an unusual variety of stocks and many "stop" orders were uncovered.
 Sales were sustained by steels, cop pers, equipments and many unclassi- fled shares, declines extending from ? to points.
 Indifferent support was shown until the last hour, when a rally of five points in Bethlehem Steel caused short covering in other quarters. The re- covery was of brief duration, however.
 Total sales. 770,000 shares.

Invaders Engaged


 Ten enemy airships of the Gotha type were attacked by naval airplanes in the vicinity of Ramsgate between 2 and Il o'clock this morning. The enemy machines, which were flying at a height of between 11,000 and 12,00O feet, were closely engaged, and in ad- dition to the two mentioned by Lord French in the earlier communication another was shot down by a royal na- val air squadron. The remaining sev- en returned seaward followed by num- erous aircraft.
 The following report has been re- ceived from the vice admiral at Dover relative to the action taken by the royal navy air squadron at Dunkirk:
 Several flights of machines were sent up to intercept enemy craft from entering England. One flight of three machines met 12 Gothas 35 miles north of Nieuport and engaged them, chasing them toward Beebrugge, but with no decisive result.
 Another of our patrols of ten ma chimes engaged a flight of about 25 enemy escorting scouts. which were off the coast awaiting the return of the enemy bombers and in the ensuing fight five enemy aircraft was sent down completely out of control All of our machines returned safely"
