WASHINGTON, Feb. 29. The onrushing tide of events leading to November's election today found a Democrat assailing the nations up per crust" and Republican de- manding an inquiry into charges that relief workers are being "ex- ploited' politically.

SAGA OF NORTH
 IS REVEALED IN
 GERMAN LETTER
Wh ere a bouts of George Miller, Pioneer LongDead,
 Is Sought by His Sister

Echoes of the past were received here yesterday in letter to Post master Albert Vile from Osnabruk, Germany.
 The letter, written in German, was from Mrs Louis Miller, sister of the late well known pioneer George Miller, asking his where abouts. Postmarked in Osnabruk, Germany, the communication stat ed the sister had last heard from her brother in 1920 when he sent her S1000. The brother has been dead some Is years and is buried in Ju- neau.
 George Miller was the partner of Lockie MacKinnon, wellknown Ju- neau pioneer who is now on vaca- tion in the states. The partners op- erated the old Circle City hotel ad- joining Behrends store on Third Street, here for years. They had mining interests around Porcupine City and were in Dawson before the strike. Fritz Miller, brother of George and also in the partnership, with MT. MacKinnon discovered Atlin, B. c. In the winter of '98 MacKinnon and Fritz Miller drove the first herd of cattle ever to go over Chilkoot Pass in Dawson.
 The adventures of the three pio- neers are some of many sagas of the north.
 Enclosed in the sisters letter was an interesting clipping from the old Porcupine News of 1901 which carried a picture of Mir MacKin- non and George Miller and told how Miller stayed in Juneau to manage the old Circle City while MacKin- non was in Dawson tending to min- ing interests.
 The letter has been turned over to the Governors office and the sad news of George Miller's assing years ago will be sent back to the relatives in Germany.
