Soviets and Japs
 Been Fighting 4
 Days on Border

UNDATED, Aug. 3, (P-Con- tinued border fighting between Japanese and Russian troops has caused grave war fears; while the Japanese reported gains in China; the Spanish Insurgents asserted that they halted the Barcelona and Catalan drive.
 The Japanese government di- rected its second protest in 24- hours to Moscow, in an effort to settle the Frontier dispute by diplomacy; but large forces of troops with airplanes and tanks fought for the fourth successive day.
 A Japanese Foreign Office spok- esman, said, Japan hoped to local ize the trouble and settle it by diplomatic steps. The presence of large forces in the frontier area, however. indicated that the battle which began Sunday night might be merely a prelude to major operations.
 A Soviet communique said: serious consequences will be un- avoidable if the Japanese provo cations continued, but official quarters discouraged any predic- tions of a major war.
 In China, the Japanese troops are reported to have overcome the do or die" Chinese resist ance within 50 miles of Nan chang, an important air base.
 In Spain, the Insurgents report ed that the Governments Cata- Ian offensive along the Ebro Riv- CT has been halted by the incess- ant bombardmentS by hundreds of war planes. It is said that the air attacks were so effective that militiamen were disorganized so completely that they were un- able to reform their lines.

Nome Federal
 Building Nears Completion
(by Andrew Sandegren) GU. s. Construction Engineer)

On August 12, 1885, Congress appropriated 5000 for the U' s. Post Office and Court House now under construction in Nome. This building was necessary due 10 the fire of the previous fall which virtually wiped out the business section. The site Is the original Government property know as Barracks Square and includes some parcels of land which, in the re-survey of Nome, several civic minded citizens do- hated to the Government. The structure was designed for rein forced concrete by Gilbert Stan ley Underwood, Los Angeles Arch itect, in the office of the Procure ment Division, Public Buildings Branch, Treasury Department, Washington, under which dlvi- sion all PoStoffices, Federal build ings, Marine Hospitals, and Bor- der Stations are built. Three bids were received, none of Whi- oh was within the amount spec flied. The plans were then re- drawn for timber construction and the low bid came within the appropriation.
 On June 23, 1887, the contract was awarded to the Macdonald Construction O., of St. Louis, Missouri, and they were request ed to furnish a bond. Their bond for completion was accepted on July 20, and seven days later work was commenced at the site.
 Having spent the season of 1920 in Akutan, Alaska, but never having seen Nome, I admit that l was prompted by the magic name of such a far-aWay place to seek that assignment when I learned that the building was being plann:d. Ii came, howev- CT, as a complete surprise to me in Dwight, Illinois, whsn I re- ceived word to proceed to Nome where I arrived via Pan Am3ri- can Airways on August II, not quite year ago.
 It was my idea, as well as that of the contractor, that We would be able only to make prepara- tions last year for commencing

General Warfare
 Europe and Asia
 Continues Today

UNDATED, Aug. 2. (P-Russ- ian and Japanese troops fought, what appeared 10 be a major bat tie on the Manchukuo--Siberian border, while the wars in China and Spain continued in full force but with no important victories.
 The Japanese war office an nounced that Russian tanks, air planes and infantry began gen. eral attack upon Changhufeng, situated on the disputed border, and declared: i've consider the situation exceptionally serious"
 The Soviet government instruct ed its Charge d'Affaires at Tokyo to warn Japan of the possible ard terrible consequences of their invasion into Russian terri tory.
 The situation is considered by Foreign observers in Tokyo and Moscow as far more serious than at any time since the border tro lible started on July llth.
 Meanwhile a Shanghai survey indicated that Japan was threat ened with the loss of effective control in the areas captured since the Japanese army invaded China July 7th, 1887. Reports from many sectors asserted that Chinese Communists and Gueril- las have already occupied num- erous districts, sometimes with out a fsiit, after tactical with drawals by the Japanese.
 In Spain, columns of Govern ment militiamen reported they were pressing toward Teruel, the capital of the Teruel Province, in a new offensive which has been cocrdinated with the Govern forces in the Catalan campaign.

Dimond and Other Candidates Will
 Speak Tonite

Delegate Anthony J. Dimond speaks this evening at the school auditorium to the public of Nome on his stewardship of office, and the many measures which under the Democratic Administration in Washington, and Juneau, are be- ing carried out for the develop ment of Alaska and Alaskans.
 Of particular importance are the matters of legislation for the general welfare of the United States and Alaska as well.
 Other Democratic candidates for election to the Territorial Legis- lature at the General Election, September 18th, who will be pre- sent tonight will be Howard Lyng and Garnet Martin, for the House. George F, Laiblin, can didate fer the Senate is expected to come in from Iron Creek wh re he is engaged in mining. Senator o. D. Cochran will also be present. Judge JH.S.Morison will introduce the speakers.
 Democratic candidate for the Housa-Wallace Porter, of Dime Creek and Walter J. Dowd of Kotzebue. are unable to attend, but others will speak in their behalf.
 Considered as the strongest Democratic ticket to be placed in the field for many years, the above mentioned candidates re- present the cross-sectlon of the Second Division and are thoro- ughly acquainted with the needs and requirements for develop ment of this part of the country, which will make them particular ly valuable in assisting in the formulating of legislation for the entire Territory. Three of them have been members of previous Legislative sessions-H w I'd Lyng, Garnet Martin and George Laiblin, who were in the House of Representatives.
 Led by Delegate Dlmond. and including the candidacy of Oscar c. Olson, for Treasurer, the local ticket will undoubtedly be of valuable assistance in rounding out a constructive program for matters of legislation, affecting Alaska.

announced vhat those citizens who had not yet signed the scroll which will be sealed in the cor ner stone might do so at Llchten- bergs Hardware Store after the program was completed.
 Andrew Sandegren, U. s. Con- structiou Engineer, who Is in charge of he sl.p vising of con- struction f the building, was then called upon, and expressed his pleasure at having had the privilege of working on this pro- ject. He explained that, though the construction work was at an advanced stage, the laying of the corner stone had been deferred to this date in order that Dele gate Dimond might be present and participate in the ceremony. He expressed his appreciation of the cooperation given him by the citizens and federal officials of Nome in his work here.
 With a few remarks, notable of which was that the construction work had proceeded so rapidly because MT r.Blanksma was averse to flying, and was so bound and determined to go on the last boat in the fall. MT. Sandegren introduced John Blanksma, re- presentative of the Mcdonald Construction Co.,, who has had charge of the actual construction of the building. MT. Blanksma thanked Nome. in behalf of his company, for all the efforts whi- oh had aided and facilitated the construction work.
 A special feature of the pro- gram was a dance executed by Charlie Ahkingna, a King Island Eskimo, accompanied by four King Island tom tom drlmmers. As the natives form an important percentage of Nome's population, it was fitting that they particl- pate in the ceremony.
 Judge Morrison of the U. s. District Court at Nome, deliv- cred an inspiring speech on the symbolism of the building, whi- oh was being consecrated to the administering of justice, one of the main supports in the founda- ton of our nation. Judge Mori- sons speech appears verbatim and is as follows:
 Judge Morison's Speech
 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have met here today to lay the cornerstone of this Federal building; this structure to be erected for housing the various departments of the government in this Second Judicial Division; and especially for the adminis- tration of the law.
 I feel that it is a wholesome
