Colonel SteeSe Returns

Col. James C. steese who was recently sent to Egypt by the gov ernment as one of the representa- ttves of the United States al an in= ternational conference, was aboard the Alaska Monday night enroute to his headquarters al Juneau.
 During the past few weeks Col. steese has been in Washington where he appeared before the Sem ate appropriations committee. He told this committee that the pri- mary activity in the interior of AL aska is mining.
 A great deal of mining activity is in progress in the Fairbanks re- zion. Operations are being con ducted by the Fairbanks Bxplora- ton Company South African Gold Fields Consolidated, and Detroit Mining Company. The Fairbanks company is spending s10,00O.00D in it's development program in AL aska and claims to have $120,0O0.- 000 worth of workable gold. which it is estimated will require 33 years to mine Within two years 1t is expected the business created by this company will increase the traffic of the Alaskan railroad by 80 per cent.
 Col steese stated that Ignite coal obtained from the Healy dis triet is good for power plants and domestic purposes. but is not heavy enough for locomotive use. This coal is used in Fairbanks and in the surrounding mining districts. is used by the railroad and other consumers, although it's production cannot yet compete with British Columbia and Washington coal.

HOW DOES THIS BALANCE SHEET LOOK TO YOU?|

How does this sort of balance sheet look?
 Seattle Star)
 Investment S7,200:000.
 Production, $174,822,721. ~s.- ~.-~.
 Pretty good, eh?
 Wel we bought Alaska for the former figure some years ago. The latter figure represents the value of the gold bullion shipped to Seattes United States assay office from the Territory since July 15 1898 The figures were made public today by Assayer T. G. Hathaway.
 Since the office has been open more than 6O3 tons of solid gold have been shipped to it, considerably more than half from Alaska. Nomes shipments alone have been worth more than $73O0O000. Tanana next with more than $51 0000 0O00 and Idtarods is $16OO0 O0O
 Last year the Territory shipped 733,888 worth of gold.
 Interesting deductions may be made from the above balance sheet For instance they represent returns from natural resources uhampered by conservation and in which capital has had free hand and permitted to pro- ced without member of the cheka standing at their e bow to manage their business for them.
 The next big item in Alaskas return on the small in vestent referred to by the Star is from fisheries which enjoyed the condition the most important element of which is title and freedom from governmental ntefer in the purely private business of the industry.
 Were all conditions of other resources equal and did large and small capital including the without capital but possessed of the ordinary talents of the pioneer have that freedom accorded the pioneers of Western America the balance sheet cited by the Star would have been of such dimensions to invite the Schempotzist of the Income tax department to shake their heads with mis- gvnngs that the Aaskans dodgng the supertaxes in their annual returns.

THREE HELD FOR GIVING
LIQUOR TO TWO MINORS

Ed Pitts, Agnes Hartley and viii
Oxentine were tried before Justice
Hahn here Saturday and bound over
to superior court under bonds of
of $500 each, on a charge of giving
liquor to minors. The defendants
maintained that the beverage given
to two boys, eyed II and 13, at the
home of Pitts, was nothing but tea.
The parents of the boys, however,
maintained that liquor had been add
ed. The boys thought the tea con-
tanned liquor and others at the Pitts
home at the time said that the tea
had been "spiked.''
Anyway, Justice Hahn thought the
evidence justified holding the defend
ants for the higher court. Each gave
bond.

Rock, are defendants in suits for
slander in which papers were filed at
Morganton last Tuesday with the
clerk of court by Commodore Burle-
sion, slayer of Broadus Miller, no.
torious negro outlaw. The actions
grew out Of newspaper articles pur-
porting to quote both Gragg and
Dula as saying in effect that Burle-
son did not kill the negro as he
claimed. ~...
Gragg was reported to have said
tnat he could produce aifidavits to
prove that Miller was fired upon
NElir asleep and claimed that he did
not even have a shotgun. Dula vas
quoted as saying that the negro was
ev' IDENTIFY shot with HANDS over head
and apparently offered no resistance.
The Globe mans articles appeared
several weeks ago and Dula's article
was sent out from Blowing Rock
week before last. Both articles were
given conspicuous positions in the
leading daily newspapers of the state.
After setting forth at length the
grounds for the action and quoting
verbatim the newspaper reports in

JOHN EARLY, LEPER,
is BACK HOME TO STAY?

Raleigh, July 31.-John Early, the
nations most widely advertised leper,
is home to stay, the North Carolina
state board of health has advised the
United States public health service at
Washington. And as far as they are
concerned, while he is not welcome
by any means, Early may remain in
the state, the board intimates.
DR.. Charles OH Laughinghouse,
secretary of the state board, has re-
fused to comment on the report from
Tryon that Early's family wish to
keep him in Polk county.
'He is not our man." Dr. Laugh
inghouse declared, and let it be
known that if Early goes back to the
leper institution at Carville, La,
whence he escaped, it will be because
the federal authorities return him.
The suggestion was offered that
even if the federal authorities do eX-
press an intention to return the man
to Carville, his family will attempt
to block the effort by contesting ex-
tradition. 1t is the general opinion
of health authorities in Raleigh that
if Early resosts, there is no power
that can remove him from the state.
-.---+Bat- if Early elects to stay in. bis
na+iva North Carolina he MAY find
it unpleasant because the state board
of health, while adopting non-com-
initial attitude in the affair between
Early and the federal authorities,
will, if he stays, quarantine him un-
der the state health laws and keep
him isolated from the outside world.

GRAGC OFFERS APOLOGIES
TO COMMODORE BURLEsON

The Lenoir News-Topic of Tues
day carried the following statement
from H. W. Gragg, of Globe, in re-

I Ter, notorious slayer of Gladys Kin

Burleson:
"The statements in the newspa-
pers regarding the killing of the out
law, Broadus Miller, by Commodore
Burleson, credited to me, were not
made by me, but were made by a
party of seven men who aided in the
chase OF the outlaw.
"On my way to Lenoir one day a
few weeks ago l was stopped by one

given the statement later published
concerning the killing, and asked to

pers for these men. The article was
published in the Winston-Salem
Journal and was copied in the News
Topic, together with written state
ment by these Globe men. | handed
in the clipping from the Winston-Sa-
lem Journal and told the editor what
the men told me to do.
| had no interest in the affair in
any way, was not able and did not
take any part in the chase as so many
people seem to think. 1t appears that
there were two Graggs from Watauga
in the chase, but none from Globe
that | know anything about. Certain
ly not myself. l was sick when | first
saw the news story and could not
go to town until now to make any
correction. l could not even get to
the Globe postoffice for week or
ten days to get registered letter
concerning the matter, or the state
ment would have been corrected
more promptly. The whole affair
has worried me very much as want
ed to correct the statement sooner
ad let the people know that | knew
nothing at all about the manner IN
which Mr.. Burleson killed the negro
outlaw. 1t made no difference to me
how he was killed just so he was
dead.

cause of any reflection on Mr. Burle-
sons character or integrity hereby

KU KLUX OF CAROLINA
TO FIGHT GOV. SMITH

Announcement is made of the
union of the two branches of the ku
Klux Klan in Charlotte, the main OBJ
iect of the unison being that it will
make possible a stronger fight against
Governor Smith for the presidential
nomination. M. S. Belser, acting
grand dragon of North Carolina,
cited the Catholic church as being an
organization at variance with the
constitution of the United States,
and put the khan on record as being
absolutely opposed to flogging and
said that flogging attributed to the
klan is merely part of a deep laiG
plot to injure the only organization
which does not favor Al Smith fol
president.

EARTHQUAKE TAKES
FEARFUL TOLL IN CHINA

London, July 2S.-WhGt IS consid-
cred one of the worlds greatest cat
astrophes occurred May %, last, in
the remote province of kansu, China,
when towns and cities were leveIlod
by great earthquake, with the cas-
aulties placed as high as 100000. The
Westminster Gazette's Shanghai cor
respondent sends the first detailed
news of the earthquake, which came
in the form of letter from Monsig-
nor Buddenbrock, vica apostoline of
the Steyl Mission at Lanchow, Kansu.
No report Of the catastrophe pre-
viously had reached Shanghai owing
to the total destruction of telegraph
ic and postal services. Monsignor
Buddenbrock describes how the cities
of Sisiang, Liangchow and Kulang
were wiped out in the twinkling OF
an eve. At Liangchow alone, he
says, at least 10000 were killed. The
city of Tumentse was completely
wrecked and buried beneath a NOV
ing mountain.
Missionaries estimates place the
casualties as high as 100000 and the
suffering of the survivors is declar-
ed to have been indescribable.
Monsignor Buddenbrock tells a
stirring story of how the quake at
Sisiang occurred during the celebra-
ton of mass. Immediately after the
conservation, subterranean rumblings
were heard. Dozens of worshippers,
including the mother superior, were
buried when the church suddenly
collapsed. Priests worked frantically
to rescue the living and administer
the sacrament to the dying.
In the town arose one long wall
of fright and grief as the magnitude
of the disaster was realized. Not one
building was left intact and there
was not one house which did not con-
tain dead and dying. In places the
earth opened, emitting blush black
water.

Old Veteran Recall
Capture of Pr dent
Survivor OF Michigan Try Re-
counts Capture of rson
Davis

Grand Rapids, Mich, July 30
BOrney A. Mosher, the last man to
be accepted for Company 4, 4th
Michigan cavalry, when that outfit
was recruited at Pontiac in 1864, was
among the captors of jefferson
Davis.
He lays no claim to being the last
survivor of the outfit to which fell
the honor, but he does utter protest
at the word that came to the Michi-
gan soldiers home, where he resides.
that Henry W. Miller, Greensburg,
Ind, "the last survivor of Company
d, 4th Michigan cavalry" had died.
Last survivors are bobbing up all
the time" he said. 81 don't know
how many are left, but l have the
papers to prove l was with the 4th
cavalry"
Here's Mosher's own story of the
capture of President Davis:
"On Sunday night shortly after
taps had sounded and our men had
rolled up in their blankets, the bugler
blew officers call and then to arms
and boots and soldiers followed. The
astonished cavalrymen crawled out of
the blankets and started out know
ing of their destination. Finally, at
the end of a long march they found
themselves at plantation house and
paused, the officers apparently in
some perplexity regarding which road
to follow.
Several of the men spied a smoke
house and prepared to force entry.
Up went a window in the big house
and a shrill feminine voice cried,
'Dop't you know better than to steal
chickens and meat? Pll report you to
headquarters if you don't go right
away .r ~--~-,-
The woman had apparently mis-
taken our men for soldiers of her
own army and the fact that head
quarters was near to report to was
news for the Union SOL
diers. The man made no move away
from the smoke house and she sent
out negro servant to protect her
stores.
GAS soon as he appeared, the col
onel of the regiment walked up to
him and ordered him to lead t'2$
party at once to headquarters, with
the promise of being shot if he re-
fused to do so.
Quickly the Yankees were taken
% little camp with a few wagons
around and jefferson Davis was
seized with no fighting at all. He
wore long overcoat, fashionable in
Civil war days, and the long gar
nent, flapping at his heels, gave rise
o the story that he was disguised in
clothes at the time of his
,apture."
Mosher was discharged at Nash
lille He was u years old when he
but he managed to become
accepted for service by swearing he
vas IS years old.
