ALASKA BOON IS SECURED
 FROM CONGRESS

The news that Delegate Sulzer had secured in Congress exemption from assessment work for miners and mine owners in Alaska for a period of two years, was commented upon favorably everywhere yesterday, af- ter being announced in The Empire.
 "So far as we are concerned" said Juneau mine operator" it will prove a great boon, not because of the money that will be saved, but owing to the fact that men usu- ally employed doing assessment work are now available for the production of marketable ores.
 'In view of the labor shortage, many concerns now turning out pro- ducts needed by the Government, all over Alaska would be seriously crippled. if were taken away from them the labor that would be needed for doing assessment work"

FIRST SANTA TO VISIT NATIVES
 ON PORCUPINE

DAWSON, Y. T., Oct. 3. = Jacob Njootli, an Indian trader, trapper and school teacher, recently arrived here from Rampant House, on the Porcupine.
 "I had the honor of arranging and carrying out the first Christmas tree celebration ever held in that vicinity" he said.
 1 had a little tree lighted with candles and decorated. The Indians, old and young, stood and sat around, delighted. and then came the sur prise for them.
 "They thought the devil had got in their midst and stampeded, but persuaded them to come back"

 Startling.
SPIES ARE NUMEROUS
Lines of Communication Were Established with the Old COun-
 try.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - (By maiD-The nation is still talking about the recent exposure of Ger man intrigue in the United States made by Government secret agents. The ramfications of the spy sys- tenn was much more extensive than was believed by many wno thought themselves somewhat on the in side"
 When private papers were exam ined by the Department of Justice the reason for Won Igel's determin- ed fight became apparent. Here, in the form of letters, telegrams, notations, checks, receipts, ledgers, cashbOoks, cipher codes, lists of spies, and other memoranda, and records, were found indications-in some instances of the vaguest na- ture, in others of the most damn ing conclusiveness-that the Ger man Imperial Government, through it's representatives in a then friend ly nation was concerned with:
 Violation of the laws of the Unit ed States.
 Destruction of lives and property in merchant vessels on the high seas.
 Irish revolutionary plots against Great Britain.
 Fomenting i'll feeling against the United States in Mexico.
 Subornation of American writers and lecturers.
 Financing of propaganda.
 Maintenance of a spy system un- der the guise of a commercial in vestigation bureau.
 Substituting of a bureau for the purpose of stirring up labor troubles in intuition plants.
 The bomb industry and other re- lated activities.
 The names of Paul Koenig and Captain Won Papen are traced by checks and papers taken by the Fed with Former Ambassador von Bern storff It was shown that the cam paign of Sir Roger Easement was familiar to the German spies in America.
 Journalists, lecturers, and publish CTS were literally employed by von Igel and his associate for the pur- poses of German propaganda Among those thus tainted with the stigma of dishonorable professional con- duct are two magazine writers and war correspondents. James r. J. Archibald, now in Washington, and Edwin Emerson, said to be in Ali rica.
 The following curious entry ap. pears in von Igeps official records:
 "Pure War Expenses"
 Edward Emerson ..... $1, ,000
 Fair Play (Mr Braun) w 2000
 Fair Play (Mr Braun) w 1,500
 Marcus Braun .-................ 1000
 J. Archibald ...................... 5000
 Concerning the identity of the last entry there might be room for doubt but for signed receipt from J. F. J. Archibald acknowledging the sum of $5.OOO from the German embassy for propagation work. What return Archibald ever made in service is not clear except that certain war correspondence for which he con- tracted with New York newspapers was so obviously prejudiced on the side of the Central Powers that they declined to accept it.
