 Three hundred and twentyseven of the Americans rescued by the other The of the accident has been determined, but it is thought be the fault of keeping the vessels closely together when high wind blowing.

the search now going on except the finding of Mrs. Craig's hat and ball of yarn with some knitting up near the place where the body was found. It is expected that with the Shusana' engaged in the search something may develop. that will result in finding more bodies or the launch. The opinion prevails that some, if not all, of the bodies will be found in the launch.

greatest pieces of legislation ever secured for the territory. He has secured millions for continuation of the railroad work when con- gress showed an inclination to discontinue such work until after the war.
 These are only few of the many activities of the delegate Witness his attempt to have the game laws amended at our request Free survey of homesteads, the 8O-rod strip law, Seward bonding bill, agricultural entries on coal lands, reduction of cultivation on home steads, application for the extension of the Smith-Hughes act to Alaska, appropriation
 for the apoon mouth of the Yukon secured ,one
 for improving Nome harbor, Dry Straits i'm provement, preventing the passage of the Alexander fisheries bill-so bitterly opposed by Alaskans, working for liberal leasing terms
 for coal and oil lands, for real development
 instead of locking up the resources of the country so that the territory cannot get any benefit therefrom. All of these subjects have been given careful study by the delegate and brought to the attention of congress, together with numerous matters affecting the very life |of the entire territory.
 But shrieks the opposition, of what good is it to take up these matters if no legislation is enacted to cover them? Let us take a look at the work done by congress, or the house of representatives since the war began, In the |05th congress about l3,OOO bills have been in troduced. Out of this mass of raw legislation Approximately ffty-two have been made laws. Of this comparativey small number only four teen did not pertain directly to the winning of the war. Out of these fourteen two were in
 troduced by the delegate and passed through his persevering efforts. In other words, one
 seventh of all legislation passed by the 65th congress of the United States was introduced
 and put through by the delegate from Alaska. Can any Alaskan truthfully say that Charles
 A. Sulzer has accomplished nothing?

SHUSANA AIDS. ::
 SEARCHERS IN: SEEKING FLYER

The steamer Shusana left Cinema yesterday morning for the scene of the search for the launch Flyer. Equipped. with special devices it is expected that the boat will be able to locate and bring to the surface the missing launch.
 NUMBER OF PASSENGERS It is definitely known that the passengers aboard the launch on the fatal day were eight in number, This information was divulged by Peter Jenkins, the man John Mckinley left for Wood river to find. Jenkins re- turned to Nenana the other day and upon being questioned as to the num- Der of passengers banned them all and gave the position each occupied while he was on board Mrs. Ster, ling and George Coleman were at the were directly behind the Hungry Kid. MT. Craig was lying on the floor of the launch and the other 1 two, Helen Moulton and Dick Rich ardson, were between Mrs. Craig and the stern of the boat. This sets at rest all doubts as to the number of passengers on the launch. :,
 WILL CLEAR CHANNEL.
 The Shusana's operations will con sist chiefly of going up and down stream near the vicinity of where the launch went down and by it's waves it is hoped that e,ther the launch or the bodies will be stirred to the surface. Failing in this heavy grapples and chains will be dragged along the bottom. It is thought that by this method the position of the launch .yill be discovered. The equipment is heavy enough to bring to the surface any object hat may become fastened o it.
 BLAvLock RETURNS.
 Yesterday evening Tom Biaylock. who has been in char;:s of the searching work, returned to town In his opinion all of the passengers are still in the launch. Although several pieces of the flooring and one piece of the hull came to the surface shortly after the launch sank, not enough was torn loose to enable the bodies to float out unless they came out in the same manner as did the body of Mrs. Craig Every foot of the hole in which the launch was supposed to be has been thor oughly probed with iron poles and no indication of the launch found. A minute search has been made of every conceivable place that the craft could have lodged and nothing found. No other floats have been seen. although every member of the party kept diligent lookout.
 SHUsANA LAST RESORT.
 The Shusana will keep up the search as long as possible and upon the efforts of the crew and search CTS will devolve the work of find ing the sunken launch. The ice run will soon be here and if the search Is not rewarded before that time all hope of ever recovering that which is sought will be lost The river is running swiftly where the search is being conducted. The only thing in favor of a quick recovery is the fact that the water is not heavily laden with silt and the boat may not be gravel

 INFORMATION REQUESTED.
 From Seattle yesterday Andrew Nerland received the following mes sage:
 Seattle, Oct 8-9. 1918. Andrew Nerland, Fairbanks:
 Kindly investigate what became of the c. E. Craigs from Livengood Alaska. According to newspaper re ports they were lost on the Tanana river last Friday. Being old friends of the Craigs and Aablings we wish you to wire at my expense when you find anything definite. " "L. FROLUND."
 '"57 Cobb Building" -.
 MT. Nerland answered the. wire with all the information available and it is hoped through this source that some information concerning the relatives of the unfortunate couple may be obtained. Yesterday a search was made of the effects of MT. and Mrs. Craig in the hopes of finding some address of relatives or friends to which the information of their death might be sent. Moth. ing was found that would furnish a clew.

Officers Training Camp.

Captain A R. Craver and wife of
Philadelphia, were here Monday look
ing over our city. While here he in
spected the Fort Hays Kansas Nor
NAL School, the Sheridan Coliseum,
where the army boys were located, as
well as the other quarters, and has
recommended that the Government
establish at this school, an Army Off
GERS Training Camp, and President
Lewis has signed the necessary pa
pers to secure it. The papers were
sent to the War Department for it's
approval.
This is entirely different from the
S. A. T. c. that the school has just
had, in which the boys and men were
forced to come here under the draft.
It is school like West Point, where
young men anxious for a military
life can come, have their military
training, study certain necessary
studies needed in army work, and
when accomplished are made Lieu
tenants for life, with handsome sal
ary. A voluntary school where ambi-
ton counts.

We have become accustomed to think
ing of William J. Bryan as a man
always mistaken, always wrong, espec-
tally in things political. But he isn't.
Sometimes he hits it hard and right.
An example in point is what he said in
talking of the democratic presidential
candidates in 1912. And his words, ut
tered more than six years ago, were
like a prophecy. Here they are: 1.-The
simple fact is that Wilson is an auto
crat by training. He has been dealing
as master with school boys all his life
until now he has reached a point where
he cannot meet anybody on basis of
equality. If he should be elected presi-
dent, everybody else would have to be
a servant. Neither your nor nor any
body else having self-respect could
serve full term in his cabinet. And
when he got through there might be
Wilson party, but the old democracy
would be gone ''-Osborne Farmer.
