NEW BOAT COMING;
 MAY ENIER RACES

There is considerable discussion in motorboat circles today regarding the new White Pass launch Kestrel, which is enroute down the Yukon river with mail and which should reach Nenana in time to participate in the races which are scheduled to take place here.
 Inquiry at the local office of the White Pass company discloses the fact that the Kestrel is a new boat, on it's first voyage down the river 1t has twin screws, driven by two latest type engines of 90 horsepower each, and is capable of attaining a high rate of speed. The craft is about 60 feet long and is fitted up in modern style, with accommoda- tions for a considerable number If passengers It is believed that a crew of five or six men are making the present voyage.
 It goes without saying that the kestrel would make worthy riv al of the local boats which will race here during the celebration, and it is understood that efforts are to be made to have the new craft enter. should it reach Nenana in time.

ARMY IS FORGING PRICES DOWN FOR
 YANKEE SOLDIERS

COBLENZ, July 2.-German mer- chants throughout the occupied zone have decided to reduce their prices 20 percent and are now advertising the fact that goods of all kinds can be purchased from them at cheaper rates than formerly.
 The action of the merchants has resulted from the opening of 10000 stores throughout the district by the army for the benefit of the Ameri- can soldiers, who were being i'm posed upon by the grating mer- chandisers.
 The army authorities found that the profits of some of the stores on some articles exceeded 700 percent When the army stores opened, some prices dropped 50 percent over night.

OPEN SHOP CAMPAIGN
 UNDER WAY AT QUINCY

QUINCY, Ill. - The open shop struggle is now well under way in Quincy.
 The announcement of the Quincy American Open Shop association has been followed by the appointment of committee by the Trades and Labor assembly of the city to resist the open shop movement.
 Quincy is strongly organized labor city, the assembly counting . membership of over 4,O00 and en- bracing even the fire department. The labor committee has succeeded thus far in securing the withdrawal of several of the original signers of the open shop agreement. On the other hand, the open shop as sociation reports the recruiting of some fifty names in addition to the original list, and these, it is said, more than offset defections. Retail houses thus far have been slow to endorse the plan, owing to the large number of union men.

PLATFORM BEFORE DELEGATES:
 CONVENTION FIGHT IMMINENT

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Aft- CT an almost all-nignt session, the platform committee completed it's deliberations at an early hour this morning, and at 10:45 Chairman Glass appeared in the convention hall and began reading the lengthy document, as finally agreed upon by those constituting the majority of the committee. The reading was |still in progress at one o'clock this afternoon, and at that time there was every reason to believe the sub- mission of the platform would be followed by a battle royal on the floor of the convention. The first skirmish is expected over the wet plank, between James R. Nugent of New Jersey, representing the vets, and William Jennings Bryan, cham pioning the cause of the drys. Bry- an is awaiting an opportunity to submit a minority report on five different blanks.
 1 As submitted by Chairman Glass, the platform is silent on the ques- tion of prohibition. It is a lengthy document, treating with a wide
 range of subjects. The preamble is
 confined to eulogy of President Wilson, and foremost among the blanks is the League of Nations, which is endorsed by the committee, coupled with a condemnation of the Republicans for interposing partisan
 envy and personal hatred in the way
 of world peace.
 The Presidents stand against tres ervations designed to cut to pieces the vital provisions of the Versailles treaty" is applauded, but coupled with this declaration is the state ment, written after prolonged  that the Democratic party does not , oppose reservations making clearer or more specific the obligation of the United States to the league as
 sociates." Accompanying this is the
 declaration that the President has repeatedly declared and the conven-
 tion reaffirms that American obliga-
 tions as a league member must be 1 fulfilled in strict conformity with the Constitution of the United
 States, in which is embodied the fundamental requirement of delib-
 eratory action by Congress before
 this nation may become participant
 in any war"
 The Irish plank is brief, reading:
 ''The great principle If self-deter-
 imitation has received constant re-
 iteration as one of the chief objec-
 tives for which this country entered
 the war, and victory has established
 this principle within khe Limitations
 of international comity and usage. This convention repeats several pre-
 vious expressions Of sympathy of
 the Democratic party fer the as-
 piratlons of Ireland for self f-govern-
 ment"
 i The Armenian plank is silent on
 the mandate question, merely ex-
 pressing sympathy.
 Other important blanks are as
 forecasted previously.

The Alaska plank, as adopted by the platform committee of the con- vention, reads as follows: "We commend the Democratic administra- tion for inaugurating a new policy as to Alaska, as evidenced by the construction of the Alaska railroad and the opening of the coal and oil fields. We declare for a modifica- tion of the existing coal land law to promote development without dis turbing those features intended to prevent monopoly; for such changes in the policy of forestry control as will permit immediate initiation of the paper pulp industry; for reliev ing the Territory from the evils of long distance government by arb- trary and interlocking bureacratic regulations, and, to that end, we urge the speedy passage of law containing the essential features of the Lane Curry bill, now pending, co-ordinating and consolidating all federal control of natural resources under one department to be ad ministered by non-partisan board, permanently resident in the Terri tory; for the fullest measure of ter ritorial self-government, with view to ultimate statehood, with jurisdic- tion over all matters not of purely federal concern, including the fish cries and garAe; and for the intel ligent administration of federal con trol.
 "We believe all officials appointed should be qualified by previous bona fide residence in the Territory. We declare for a comprehensive system of road construction, with increased appropriations, and for the full ex- tension of the federal road act and federal farm loan act to Alaska"
