WRECKED
 BY HIGH WAFER
 OF TAE NENANA

News received this morning is to the effect that bridge II, spanning the lower end of Lost Slough near old camp 10. about twelve miles out of town, has been rendered un- safe and all traffic on the Govern ment road will cease at this point.
 Before the breakup. the engineer in charge of this section Of the road anticipating trouble at this point. had cribbing put in to strengthen the banks and prevent erosion and damage to the bridge from this cause. When the floods occurred, this bridge as we'll as all the other bridges. trestles and cuiverts on the line up to the end of steel had a close watch kept on them.
 The insidious action of the flood waters would appear to have cut into the bank behind the cribbing aray Uur bent Uf billing at the north end of the bridge, leaving the caps and ties on.
 The condition of the bridge was reported to the proper authorities and as a consequence train service to points beyond has been suspended pending repairs to the structure

NEW COAL VEIN NEAR RAILROAD
 IS DEVELOPING
Robert E. Burns and Associates Have Promising Deposit South
 of Nenana.

News of the opening of coal mine on a fairly large scale, with indications pointing to the further development of this most important industry has been received today. Messrs R. E. Burns and Andrew Anderson, who have done con- siderable prospecting and research work with the development of good coal mine as the ultimate object in view, have located on a vein which would appear to hold much promise of a practically un- limited supply of Ignite coal of a good merchantable quality.
 The exact location of the mine is said to be on the south side of the Nenana river, about five and one half miles beyond the Engineering Commissions camp at 43-mile. and about one thousand feet from the right of way. At this point the anti cline of a big vein has been un- covered which is said to be 24 feet in width, running in vertical direc- tion and easily traceable for a dis tance of over a mile into the high hills beyond
 A tunnel has been driven in the face of this vertical vein of coal about twenty feet above the level of the grade and running into the vein for a distance of about ninety feet, the coal thus obtained being used as bed for runway which may be used later on, when opera tions on a large scale are under taken. The penetration obtained in the tunnel is stated to have carried the workers we'll away from the action of the frost and the coal ob- tained is said to be of a much supe- rior grade to that found for dis tance of about thirty feet from the face of the vein.
 Definite plans for the further de- velopment of the mine are under way, but at the present time, par ticulars of the work to be taken in hand are not available. A second tunnel will be driven shortly, run, ming at lower level than the first tunnel to permit of the coal being trapped into dump cars and thereby materially reducing the cost of pro. duciton and thereby making avail able for all purposes large quan, tity of this fuel as cheaply as pos sible.
 Mr Robert E. Burns states that they propose to continue the tunne for a distance of about two hundred feet and work four rooms, which hs figures will make possible produc tion of about one hundred tons o1 : the best grade Ignite coal daily

HOW GERMANY MAY DEMOCRATIZE.

good many persons are no doubt speculating how
Germany may democratize This must be done as pre-
minary to peacehat has been made perfectly clear by
this time, even to the German people.
It has been suggested from Washington sources, and
based on at least seoffca opinion that the result might
be obtained in the following manner:
Elimination or emascuation Of military autocracy in
Gemanythe prime requisite Of peace according to Pre-
sident Wlson-means radical amendment to the Ger
man constitution placing the war and peace making pow
ers in the hands of the people,
This amendment can be secured by legislative act by
bill passed through the bundesrath, federal council
which is the upper house of the German parliament and
then through the reichstag which is now in session.
The bundesrathis composed of 81 members, appoint
ed by the individual Kingdoms dutchies etc. of the en-
pre and the people have voice in their selection The
rehstag however is supposed to be selected by popular
manhood suffrage and this body which is growing in
democratic strength and bodnes can pass constitution
al amendment provided Ia members of the bundesrath do
not vote against it.
Since the reichstag has been assuming noteworthy
opposition to the military auocracy in recent weeks it
is held likely it will begin fight for the legislative
enactment necessary to rid Germany of kaiser powers and
clear the path for peace.

WOULD SUPPRESS PUBLICITY.

That one-time champion of the blue sky law, the
Portland Journal published by c. S. Jackson, reputed
head of the single tax propaganda in Oregon is now an
advocate Of the suppression of publicity in the transaction
of legal business Jackson the tax lien spectators OF
the state who are interested in the succs of his scheme
paid for the circulation Of the initiative petitions which
placed two measures the ballot to be voted upon next
month One of these measures repeas the law for the
publication Of the delinquent tax list and the other fixes
the price for legal advertising in all the counties of the
state except Multnomah, where Jacksons paper is
published The Oregon Voter sized these measures up
pretty wellin a recent editorial when it said:
"The essence of c. s. Jackson's tax publication bill
is that it does away with notice to the public Of the
OF propertyowners whose taxes long past due The
prOpertyowner may postpone tax payment indefinitely
far any fear Of publicity concerned Mr. Jacksons
measure puts end to printing the delinquent tax list
In one important way the measure is deceptive. It
sails under the camouage Of substituting mailed notice
for the published notice. In effect the bill proposes
such substitute for already each propertyowner whose
posoffce address is on file with the tax collector is
titled when his taxes are due The only substitution there
will be in effect under the Jackson bill will be to send
another notice by mail to follow the ineffective first no.
tice instead of publishing the list in the county paper
where the public may read it and ascertain who the de-
nquents are The Jackson bill in effect substitutes sup
preston for publicity.
1T is notorious that the bill originates in Mr. Jack
sons desire to punish the country press of the state by
deprvng it of the little that has to it by
annual publication of the delinquent tax list the
ure is understood by the taxpayers and the public il will
be defeated on it's merits Were the motive behind it
generally understood it would be buried by an over
whelmng negative majority as rebuke to the bullying
tactics employed by wealthy newspaper publisher to
bend the small country papers to his will break them
