ELECTION QUIZ
At UPPER TOWN
WEAKENS WICK

The examination of soldier-voters.
in connection with the Wickersham
election contest, which was conduct
ed at Fairbanks last evening, is said
to have been productive of evidence
which will not strengthen the case
of the contesting former delegate.
And it failed absolutely to produce
any information that would tend to
show how the witnesses voted at the
last November election.
The two men examined were Ser
geant Durwood Hooker, cashier at
the Fairbanks Office of the signal
corps, and John E. Pegues, former
ly connected with the office, but
now on furlough to the reserves.
Both are now, and have been for
number of years, residents of the
upper town, and both are married
and pay taxes.
The examination was conducted
by Morten E. Stevens and Henry
T. Ray, representing Wickersham,
and John A. Clark, representing
Delegate Grigsby. The examination
consumed over three hours and, as
already stated, developed facts
which will prove damaging to Wick
ersham, in all probability.
When an attempt was made to
make Hooker tell how he voted, the
balloon went up. Hooker told the
questioning attorney plainly that he
would not answer the question, and
when asked why, be replied substan-
tally that it was none of the at
torney's business. He did not say
1t IN those words, but that un-
doubtedly is the way it was intend
ed, and both he and Pegues got
by with it. The Wickersham attor-
ney could not compel them to tell
how they voted, and the secret will
be theirs until it is decided by the
elections committee that the vote
of soldier at the election in ques-
ton was not legal. Should such a
ruling be made, Wickersham then
can come back for the desired in
formation, and get it.

RICHMOND SAYS

DAWSON, Sept. Sin a state
ment made in this city today, Vol
ney Richmond, superintendent of
the Northern Commercial company,
places this years output of gold of
the Interior country, including both

and a quarter millions. The Nome

about a quarter of million.
Of the Alaska districts mention
ed, Fairbanks is given first place
with an output of 100000. Idita-
rod comes second with s750,000,
and the Tolovana third, with $780,

COAST WORKERS
CONCENTRATE ON
TURNAGA|N ARM

Work on the coast end of the
Government railroad is being con-
centrated on that section of the
road, between Seward and Anchor
age, which was a source of much
trouble to the Alaskan Engineering
commission during the past winter,
according to Colonel Mears, in a
statement made to representa-
tive Of The News during the visit
of the chairman in Nenana early
this week. A determined effort is
to be made to put the road in such
shape that traffic will not be inter-
rupted during the coming winter.
Work on the main line extension
north of Talkeetna was discor-
tinued some time ago, said Colonel
Mears, and no work is being done
at present on the wagon road, which
was started at Indian river and eX-
tended several miles toward Broad
Pass. Road building operations were
suspended the day Colonel Mears
and the members of his party
reached the road camp.
There is a splendid trail, how
ever, the colonel says, between the
end of the wagon road and the in
terror end of the railroad, such as
to insure rapid progress between
the ends of steel during the coming
winter. The trail was found in
excellent condition when the party
passed over it, and it should prove
still better for winter travel.
Colonel Mears and his compan-
ions made the trip across country
on horseback, and the colonel's
horse now awaits him at the end
of steel to take him back over the
same route. They encountered no
difficulties, and there is reason to
believe that the Broad Pass trail
will prove popular with travellers
during the coming winter, provided
there is not a recurrence of road
troubles on the Seward-Anchorag
line. The distance between ends of
steel at the present time is between
1875 and $50 miles.

Report Is Withheld.

The special says that, notwith-
standing the fact that the investi-
eating committee returned to Wash
ington some time ago, their report
is still held confidential, and it is
not known how soon it will be re-
leased for publication. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that recon-
mendation is made for the imme-
diate establishment of coaling sta
tons, and on more pretentious
scale than previously considered, for
the reason that the Alaska coast
parallels the route to the Orient,
where the American Asiatic fleet is
being enlarged.
