WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30. The landing of American marines at Frau, an Adriatic port. has start ed an inquiry in Congress in an effort to learn exactly what the position of the United States is in the Adriatic muddle. The question was brought to the attention of the senate today in the form of a reso- lution introduced by Senator New, President Wilson to transmit report of the landing to the members of the upper house. The resolution called attention to the fact that the Americans went ashore at Frau after the city had been taken by the Italians, and the action has been severely criticised by the Republican members of the senate
 While the resolution was under Senator Hitchcock de clared that the Republicans are heckling President Wilson and de- liberately flibustering with a view to delaying action on the peace treaty. Senator Lodge denied that such was the case.

MONEY ORDER GUT
 MADE BY COMPANY

Information received by Agent John H. Scott from the head office of Wells Fargo X Go. announces a reduction of 10 cents per sl0O in charges for money orders sold by that company, effective immediate ly. The new rate, therefore, will be 20 cents instead of 90 as hereto fore .." .-.
 MT. Scott does not know why the cut was made, the old rate, in his opinion, being a very satisfactory rate for this country. The rate is lower than that charged at the postoffice or by the banks of the Territory-so low, in fact, declares the agent, that the company cannot lay up any money writing orders in this country.

OLOTIMERS CLAIM
 CAMP LOOKS GOOD

After a summer spent in the Chandlar district, doing development work on properties in which he is interested, Jimmy Funchion left for the States on the last voyage of the steamer Alaska, highly pleased by the showing made by his ground. Both he and Bert Johnson, who spent the summer with him, declare that the Chandlar will make camp.
 The great trouble in the Chand- lar, as in many Alaskan camps, is the absence of roads. Under pres ent conditions, the district IS prac- tically inaccessible-a serious obsta- cle to development The two old timers claim, however, that the dis trict will begin to attract the at tention of mining men at no distant date, and that the showing made by those who are pioneering the way to future development will be such as to convince the road commission of the importance Of providing bet ter means of transportation.
 Both Funchion and Johnson are well known in the Interior, the for mer having been heavily interested district, and the latter engaged for many years in the teaming business there and elsewhere.
