FIVE BRIDES ON STEAMER ALASKA
BIG STEAMER DOES RECORD BREAKING BUSINESS IN
 BRIDAL TOURS

The first trip of the steamer Alas ka of the season of 1919 is probably unique. in the-fact that it carried five bridal couples from Whitehorse and most of them landed in Fairbanks. One of them sidetracked at the mouth of the Tolovana river, but it will bc in Fairbanks later.
 Those making the trip were J. J. Sherry and bride, J. H. Gibbs and bride, Thaggard Buckholtz, second mate of the Alaska, and bride. Chief Engineer Row of the Alaska, and bride and James German and bride Jimmy Gibbs stopped off at the Tolo- vana and he and Mrs. Gibbs will visit the Tolovana district before coming to Fairbanks. Mrs. Gibbs is the daughter of J. R. Smith, formerly cashier in the local White Pass of- fices. Mrs. German is a sister of Dan Eagan, of Fairbanks creek.

Would Like Get
 Out From Under
PASSING RESOLU- TION DECLARING WAR AT END so IT CAN'T BE BLAMED IN CASE PEACE IS DELAYED; RES POSSIBILITY NOT WANTED.

WASHINGTON, June 21-R)-The republican senate is now fearful it will receive the blame in case peace is delayed. Should the ratification of the peace treaty be delayed by the fight over the league of nations, the republicans fear peace will also be slow in coming and the American congress will accordingly get the blame. A resolution will probably be introduced and passed next week which will declare the war with Ger many to be officially at an end. In this way, the senators feel that they will then be able to proceed regard ing tine league of nations as they choose. The delay in the ratification of the treaty will be caused by noth- ing else but republican opposition to the league of nations.
 The opponents of the league of na- tions hope to get a test vote next Monday on the resolution recently introduced by Senator Knox provid- ing for the separation of the league covenant from the peace treaty. A bitter fight in support of the league is being made by the democratic sen- ators and some of the republicans who realize that the proposed society of nations is of vast benefit to hu- manity. The supporters of the GOV enant declare Knox's resolution will never be passed.

STRIKE IN K0YUKUK; NO DETAILS KNOWN

An unconfirmed report of a new gold strike reached town yesterday. The Koyukuk again registers in with another find.
 Annually someone uncovers a biz body of rich dirt in that district but up to date there has never been any thing like general discovery made, althO some rich spots have been discovered and worked to ad. vantage. The one now reported may be the genuine article or it may be another boomer" and it would prob ably be the part of wisdom to await definite information before starting on a stampede.
 The reports received here say that the strike was made on April 26 on the Bettles river some distance above Wiseman. The discoverers are said to be James Kelly, Frank Howard and J. Holzer. Three holes were put down to bedrock none of them being more than 2O feet deep, each hole averaging fifteen cents to the pan and four and one-half feet of pay dirt.
 A large copper nugget was found by the discoverers in the gravel. The men are said to be working on be- low and s and 10 above, but had not reached bedrock and it is unknown whether or not they found any gold. from the kOyukuk region brot the reports. It will be sometime before another large boat arrives at Panama from the lower river, but definite in- formation is expected in a short time.

The lower house of the state legis- lature recently adopted a resolution asking the governor by proclamation to prohibit the fight being held any where within the boundaries of this state. At the time the measure was passed by the lower house, the gov ernor would make no official state. ment regarding the request. It is probable the resolution will be de- feated in the state senate. The gov ernor stated today he saw no req son why the fight should not be held at Toledo as planned and as far as he is concerned 1t will be.

Great impetus was given the Olym-

enthusiastic about the project and is
going to use all his influence to put
1t through. He thinks the outlook
very favorable, and has asked the

present to Colonel Sturdevant all the
data and information on the project.
Colonel Sturdevant has made q sim

Engineers who have been consult

project from their standpoint, offer

say that the construction Of 4 water

The proximity of Camp Lewis and
the fact that 1t is to be a permanent
cantonment, and the necessity for an
all-American route to the Pacific
ocean for transporting troops In case
of foreign war, have brought an
other important factor to bear in ia.
