 Indians in Bristol Bay, that any word of protest was ever raised against the law by Wickersham.
 Wickersham's contention that the ! election law of Alaska is unconstitu tional and void is a contention fol the kind of an election at which any any every kind of fraud can be com mitted and would be reverting to tht old deplorable conditions under which an election could be bought for money and manipulated in many crooked ways The people of Alaska will uphold an honest election law and will repudite any man who con tends for law that will leave every election wide open to fraud.

WICkITES COUNT ON GAINS BECAUSE OF LOSS. OF BOYS WHO HAVE GONE
 TO THE FRONT

It is significant that the Wickites are counting that the movement of Alaskans out of the Territody for the pur- pose of fighting for their country will inure to the bene- fit of Wickersham in the com ing election. They admit that a very large majority of the boys who have gone to the front are Sulzer men. They think the people who are left at home are of different class than the fighting boys boys who are anxious to meet the Huns in battle.
 The Wickites are mistaken. Those who remain behind in Alaska are doing so not be- cause of lack of patriotism. They are just as patriotic as those who have joined the col ors, and they are as greatly interested in progressive Alaska. They, too, are Tor Suizer and development Of the Territory. They, too. are op- posed to Wickersham and chaos, pickering and faction al strife. They are staying at home because they have ties that bind them to the Territory. and not through lack of enterprise or bravery or patriotism. The Alaskans at home and those in the Ar my and Navy are made of the same stuff.

CAPTAIN SAYS WORST GALE HE
 HAS EVER SEEN
Alameda Battles Storm All Way South and Is with in 30 Miles of Boat
 That Founders.

SEATTLE, Nov. 4-The Alameda
 arrived Saturday having battled l through a storm all the way Cap tain Ginger said the gale was the
 worst he ever experienced on the Alaska run. He was within 50 miles of the Galiano, when it sent out its s. O. s. call, but owing to the firece
 ness of the storm, he was unable tC go to her assistance.
 The following from the Ketchikan Miner gives some additional details about the Galiano:
 It was learned at the Customs of flee here that the steamer Humboldt had picked up the wireless s. o. S.
 call from the Galiano and had re ported to the Government wireless The s. o. S. q. call was also picked up at the Naval radio station here Saturday.
 The Galiano was the Canadian Fisheries patrol boat and visited Ketchikan July 24th, last year, with the members of the Royal Fisheries Commission on board. Lieutenant Pope was in command at that time, The Galano was only about four years old and was one of the finest patrol boats on this coast. This is undoubtedly the same ship reported wrecked on Cape St. James Queen Charlotte Island, by Captain Angel of the halibut schooner Alas ka. The halibut boat Alameda was still reported standing by, accord ing to the Humboldt, but on account of the heavy seas was unable to reach the stranded vessel.

I0KlAI FARMER
 COMES TO TOWN

H. w. Knight, who has staked a homestead on the Toklat river, ad- joining his uncle's roadhouse at the confluence of the Toklat with the Shushana arrived, in town to re- plenish his stock of supplies for the winter. He left for his camp this morning.
 Knight has been in the Kantishna region for many years and has prospected, hunted and trapped n several parts of that district. He was working with Sofus Federson on Wickersham creek, also known as Chitsia creek, and will probably go back there for spell. Chitsia creek is tributary of the Bearpaw river.
 Like every other prospector and miner who has been in the region, Knight also says that the lack of roads and the consequent expense and difficulty in obtaining supplies is driving the prospector out of the country, and does not think the country, which is we'll known to be highly mineralized, will amount to anything unless roads are con- structed and the prospectors given a fair show.

HUN FORGED ID
 PLAY AMERICAN NATIONAL. :. :. ANTHEM

How an American infantry regi- ment captured a German band of sixty pieces and forced the Huns to play the "Star Spangled Banner" is told in a letter received at Pitts burg recently by Rev Thomas Allan reired Methodist minister, from his son, Corporal E. w. Allan of the Three Hundred and Nineteenth h. fantry
 Corporal Allan, in his letter, says that the regiment, in a surprise at tack without a barrage, took the German band intact. As the vic torious Yankees were enroute to the rear with the prisoners, they called halt along the road and by whistling, gave the Germans a work ing idea of "The Star Spangled Banner"
 Just as soon as the Huns had mastered the selection, the Amercan soldiers lined the prisoners up and forced them to play the national anthem of the United States, to which tune they marched to the prison cages.

 He expects that as a result of the peace conference, competitive big navy building will be stopped throughout the civilized world.
