ACTION

Yesterday H. E. senef received a message from his repressntat,ve in Seattle relative to the action being taken by the Canadian Pacific rail. way in trying to place limitation aS to its liabilities in connection witt the wrecking of the Princess Sophia The message. in full. follows:
 Seattle. Wash. Feb. p HI. Y. Senetf. Fairbanks:
 Canadian commission Is simpl, government investigation and noth. Ing to do with the recovery of money for death claims. The accident oc. cured in American waters, and the Canadian Pacific railway has started limitation liable suits in United States district court here trying to limit all claims to the vessel. which has no value. Notice is issusd out of this court requiring all persons to appear in this case or bs forever barred from recovering anything. Anderson and twenty others have employed Myers & Martin. attorneys here. to appear in this case and stop company from limiting its liability and requiring company to pay full liable to each party.

 It Is of vast importance to all who have claims against the company to take immediate action respecting their claims or else lose ell interest In the matter when the time of judg. ment comes. It would be advisable for those who intend to take action against the company to have their suit filed immediately. The interior being remote from tho scene of the trial much delay. and . probable loss of interest, would result if the matter were attempted to be handled thru the regular mail channels. Mr. Scneff. personally. intends to act with all despatch and 1t would be well should other interested ones do ikewise.

With the approach of spring many of the property holders in tho burned district will undoubtedly be rebuild. ing and naturally their thots would turn to a construction material more durable than wood and less subject to fire.
 This brings to mind some of the resources of the interior that have never been used to any extent In building construction except for Soun, dstious and the uke-sapd and

AGED SENATOR HAS ANSWERED
 THE LAST CALL

PASADENA. Feb. 27.-R-George F. Edmunds, a former member of the senate from the state of Vermont. dto' in this city today at the ad. vance, age of ninety.one after an illn.rs of long standing.
 i George Franklin Edmunds was United States senator from Vermont for twenty-five years, from 1866 to 1891. acquiring such a reputation as statesman that on two occasions in the early sos his name was present. ed in the republican national conven. tion as candidate for the presiden. tial nomination. The first time in 1850 he received only 34 votes. but in 1884 93 votes were cast for him.
 Tho never president. he was known as advisor of presidents. President Grant publicly acknowledged that Edmunds was one of the men whom he was most indebted fof counsel.
 Born on farm at Richmond. Vt. Feb. 1, 1929. his education was in the common schools and by private tu. tor. but during his lifetime he re- ceived honorary degrees from four Now England colleges. He studied and practiced law in his native town. and in 1851 he removed to Burling. ton where the lega! talent of his state was concentrated. He became speaker of the house. then president of the senate of the Vermont legis- lature. In March, 1866. he was ap- pointed to supply the vacancy in the United States senate created by the death of Solomon Foot. and with his first speech. during the service commemorative of .his predecessor. he stamped himself upon the senate as q man of keen intellect and power. He took @ leading part in the dis cussions of the senate during the turbulent reconstruction days and was active as one of his party lead. CTS in the impeachment of President Johnson. When Hayes and Tiiden were contesting the presidential election returns in 1876. Senator Ed munds was one of the electoral com n'ittee which placed Hayes in the White House.
 He was unanimously elected presi- dent protem of the senate when vice. President Arthur was called to the White House by the assassination of President Garfield. AS pariiamen. tarlan he gained high repute. Any member who ignored the rules would promptly invoke the Vermonters biting satire.
 In 1882 he introduced a measure for the suppression of polygamy in Utah. and the disfranchisement of those who followed It. This act. which came to be known as the Ed. munds Act, was brot before the su. preme court and upheld in decisions that were given in series Of cases. In the year before he voluntarily retired from the senate, he close his long political career by helping to draw up that famous antitrust law which bears the name of the Sher- nan Act.
 The venerable Vermont statesman spent most of his last days in Pasa, d.na. California.

draulic on the upper end of the creek the coming season. John May will operate on the lower end.
 Tom Harrington and Neil Mccall, who worked their property at the mouth of Gold King last summer, are expected to continue the coming season.
 Pat Britt, a pioneer of that section, and James Mulrooney. have been mining on Bonnifield creek ,or many years. They will soon begin to freight in their supplies for the com irs summer.
 Gustafson, who has been mining ou Grubstake creek and who left last fall with his family for the outside, is expected. back to that section soon. He will also take in his years sup. plies before the snow goes.
 The Bonnifleld, or Wood river country as 1t is sometimes called, is g section of wonderful resources. All of it's many creeks are gold bearing and shallow. Gold King, ten miles long, will average about seven feet in depth. while the Bonnifield. of almo. equal length, averages slightly less in depth. There is a phenomena connected with both these creeks i; while they ordinarily have an abund- of water for mining purposes. in. cluding two good.sized elevated lakes which are natural reservoirs, the water strangely disappears from sight about half way down the creek bed only to reappear a few claim lengths further down. At their mouths on the vast flats the creeks sink en tirely in the gravel and flow in g subterranean channel into Wood river.
 Grubstake, Hearst and Roosevelt creeks are all short ones. They head against Gold King and flow into Wood river proper. Grubstake has produced considerable gold. August Gustafson, brother to the Gustafson who Is on the outside. is mining on Grubstake and the creek Is so named because of the fact that his grub stake was taken out of 1t. John Hawkinson. sometimes called Saw dust John." has also taken out con siderable gold from this creek and usually made annual trips to Cinema with 8 fat poke of coarse gold Roosevelt creek was worked one summer several years ago by Billy Catchpool. Bert Johnson and Billy Goodrich.
 There is creek heading uI against the head of Bonnif1eld creek which empties into the head o1 Wood river, where that crooked stream winds among the sawtoothed Alaska range. It Is called Coal creek. Close to its head and only g short walk from Pat Britt's claim on the Bonnifield is a perpendicular clay bluff about two hundred feet high which has in sight thirteen distinct blanket coal ledges. The coal has been tested by the miners of that district and 1t makes a good fuel.
 The Wood river country has been the main source of mountain sheep and moose supply that is consumed by the residents of the district Taking 1t all in all this promising district at Fairbanks door looms up in the vision of the future.

WILSON PROCLAIMS
CENSUS ENUMERATION

Washington. Dec. 13.-The follow
ing proclamation by President Will
son regarding the fourteenth decen-
NAL census which is to be taken be-
ginning January was made public
today by the census bureau:
BY the President of the United
States of America.
A Proclamation.
Whereas, BY the act of congress APP
proved March 3, 1919. the fourteen
decennial census of the United States
is to he taken beginning the sec
ond day of January, 1920; and
Whereas, A correct enumeration of
the population every ten years is re-
CURED by the constitution of the Unit
ed States for the purpose of determining
the representation of the several
states in the house of representatives;
and
Whereas. 1t is the utmost impor-
lance to the interests OF all the peo-
pie of the United States that this
census should be a complete and ac-
curate report of the population and
resources of the nation;
Now, therefore. /, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America. do hereby declare and make
known that, under the law aforesaid,
it is the duty of every person to an
swer all questions on the census
schedules applying to him and the
family to which he belongs, and to the
farm occupied by him or his family
and that any person refusing to do so
is subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information
regarding the population and re-
sources of the country and replies are
required from individuals only to per-
NIT the compilation of such general
statistics. No person can be harmed
in any way by furnishing the in
formation required. The census has
nothing to do with taxation, with mill
tary or jury service, with the COM

of the war and was later sent overseas
where it saw much active service,
Army flyers have long been doing
Mexican border patrol work but 1t IS
the first time, the Colonel said. that
they have been employed in similar
active service elsewhere.
Extension of the service to INCLUDE
mapping of aerial routes on the ATTAIN
tic seaboard and later the middle At
lantic states, is said to be in contem-
plation. At present while one-third OF
the First Aero Squadron personnel is
out on patrol work the other two-thirds
are resting. All flights are nonstop
between the home field and the desti-
nation, thus putting the pilots under
a system as rigorous in point of train
ing as they experienced during the war.
Aviation experts have attributed the
efficiency of American pilots in France
to the fact that they were compelled to
fly at regular intervals and, conse-
quently, did not have time to forget
their training.
