NOME .ALASKA, NOV. 15, 1915.
This disclosures of Dr. Joseph Cor
ioar relative to the Austro-German at
tempts to cripple and destroy Amer
ican industries are of a sufficiently
startling nature to cause even the must i
heedless American to do some deep
thinking as to the possible outcome of
tiie grave condition of affairs at pres
ent existing in this country. Dr. Gori
car's statements may or may not be
entirely true for there is some little
reason to believe that personal animus
may be responsible for the revelations
as to the activities of the alleged Aus
trian and German spies with which,
he asserts, the country is infested, but
there are nevertheless, many convinc
ing reasons for believing that his story
lias a sufficient basis in fact to war
rant full consideration. The expos
ure of sundry and divers efforts on the
part of Austrian and German sympa
thizers, the Dumba affair and the con
fessions of Lieutenant Fay are more
than sufficient to convince one that
there is a gigantic conspiracy on foot
which has as its object the destruction
of what is at present one of the great
est of American industries—the man
ufacture of war material for the en
tente allies.
instances indicative oi this have Deen
mulitplied so rapidly within the past
f- w months that one can no longer
doubt that some one is fostering a
giant scheme which includes not only
n overwhelming destruction of prop
erty but also the existence of large
numbers of our citizens whose voca
tion causes them to be in positions of
danger.
Whether the German or Austrian
governments are directly behind this
movement, as Dr. Goricar asserts is
the case, is difficult to say. It must be
remembered, however, that the testi
mony of Goricar fully confirms the
statements of the German officer, Fay,
who has confessed that he gigantic
plot in which he was apprehended had
the approval of the German military
staff. This may not mean that his
government was the animating cause
of his activities but there is hardly
a doubt that there is in this case, lit
tle distinction between approval and
support.
The restriction or destruction of war
munition manufacture and shipment
is a matter so vital to the Germanic
allies that none but the most unso
phisticated will doubt for a moment
that they would readily lend any pos
sible effort to accomplish that end, re
gardless of cost. We may, if we
choose, refuse to accept this belief, and
hold to the opinion that the destruc
tive activities manifested of late are
only expressions of partizanship on
the part of sympathizers of the Teu
tons but, even so, it is painfuly clear
that they constitute a very grave men
ace and that the problem of how to
bring such activities to an end is, none
the less, a very great and very vital
one in view of the immense amount
of destrucion and injury already ac
complished.
Millions of dollars worth of damage
lias been done to several classes of
manufacturing plants in all parts of
the country during the past two or
three months, resulting In a considera
ble crippling of industry and the jeo
I
pardizing of many live*. Factories
nave been wholly or partly destroyed
, me aud explosives, chips have been
med by bombs set to accomplish their
nefarious purpose at a time when not
inly the destruction of the vessel
would be probable but also the lives
ol the passengers and crew. Attempts
i.avi repeatedly been made to foment
discord among the workers aud to
suborn their leaders with the view of
causing industrial strife which would
lead to restrict or destroy. Apparsnt
,y no effort has been lost, no stone un
turned. which might result in the much
ues.red object of blasting the traffic in
supplies needed by the entent belli
geents. Without regard to ti.e moral
aspects, this ;rutlle, in addition to be
ing exceedingly renumerative, is legl
.unate in every way aud lias been
i. cquently practiced if previous years
, y ihe very nation.; mat are at present
must active -pretesting against it.
.Neither <J.uian> or Austria, de
ep te their esthet .- lid cultural pro
fessions, have e\ er lost an oportunity
to turn a dollar in supplying anything
to a belligerent regardless of its po
.cnliulities of harm to others. Neither
nation lias ever refused to get their
ethical inclinations stand in w ay of mak
ing a bargain to their own advantage
at any time without regard to its na
ture. Both have at all times displayed
an entire absence of moral scruples in
regard to such matters until them
selves were the ones threatened with
danger yet today they are making
Heroic efturts 10 prevent the very
tilings which they have sanctioned by
example,and are apparently willing U
go to any extrem to accomplish the
? desired object. We do not blamt
f them for wanting to do this. That ie
out natural. The immense quantitiee
■ of supplies now being furnished their
enemies are perhaps the most tre
mendous influence in prolonging the
terrible struggle.
From a strictly moral viewpoint the
traffic is admittedly wrong. Yet it is
sanctioned by time and custom, is
therefore iegitmate and we are there
fore licensed in its pursuit. We will
concede to Germany and Austria and
Lheir sympathizers full right to stop
I the traffic by moral influences, if pos
sible, but, when it comes to such
methods as are at present being pur
sued we are within our rights in call
ing a halt and preventing such acts as
.re harmful or destructive to our com
merce or industries in any manner
available. That,the present activities
must be stopped and at once need
hardly be suggested as it is apparent
that if left to grow they will reach
appalling proportions and result In the
complete disruption of commerce and
ndustry. It matters not who may be
at the bottom of the destructive ac
tivities no effort should he spared to
■ITect thetr suspension. It is a diffl
■ult matter to deal with but no scru
ple should be allowed to stand in the
way even though it should be neces
sary to deport all who might be in
lined to such practices. All but the
utterly unthinking will realize that we
are facing a desperate situation and
must deal W'ith it by applying des
perate measures if relief can be ob
tained in no other manner.

Suit has been tiled in Seattle by
rank C. Adams against the Northern
Commercial oCmpany for 112,000 dam
ge.s fur injuries which he is alleged
o have receiv ed by being Jolted in the
Kairbanks-Chitina stage.
Adams alleges that the accident oc
curred on April 16 last, and resulted
irom driving at high speed over rough
roads.
In the presence of a number of bll
furtl enthusiasts, W. Grant Johnson
-ecently set a record for Alaska for
he 14.2 Inch balk line game by mak
lig a run of 104. The century mark Is
very seldom reached in the amateur
nks and the amateur record for the
v 'i ld is 202, made by Calvin Demarest

Fairbanks.— An unknown prospector
is reported to have been drowned in
the Tolovana river recently by the
'vtrturniug of his boat. Several min
ers. who were on the banks of the
fiver witnessed the boat with its lone
occupant coming down the river, and
few minutes later the boat was re
■ 'fled hanging to a snag in the river
fid its occupant missing The body
was not recovered.
Complying with the laws passed at
the last session of the territorial deg
■ Uature requiring all foreign corpora- j
t.ione doing business In Alaska to ap
point Alaskan agents, all of the in
surance companies doing business in
Alaska are filing their appointments of
agents. The companies are ail nam- j
ing Juneau mee.
The Citizens Insurance Company of
St. Louis, the Insurance Company ot
the state of Pennsylvania; anil the
Hartford Insurance Company of Hart
rord. Conn., all appointed Allen Shat
tuck as Alaskan agent.
The Michigan Commercial Insur
ance Company of Lansing, and the
California Insurance Company of San
Francisco, both appointed K^H. Shep
ard as Alaskan agent.
The Mutual Life insurance Company
of New York, appointed (Quarles L.

Camp 32, Arctic Brotherhood, at its
annual election of officers on Octobei
0, chose the following named: Arctic
chief, Alfred Maltby; vice Arctic
chiefs, Hugh P. Crowther and Martin
S. Perkins; recorder, Harold Post;
.rustics, John B. Marshal, Allen Shat
luck, A. E. Maltby, Cha ley W. Car
ter, A. A. Humphrey, Nearly 300 mem
bers were in attendance. Past Grand
Arctic Chief Gov. Strong and Grand
Arctic Chief John T. Reed spoke. Ju
neau camp is erecting a hall and club
rooms.
Reports from the Matanuska valley
show a total of 260 homesteaders there
at the present time. Most of the lo
cators have several acres cleared ana
cultivated and some splendid crops
have been produced. Wheat ripened
there this summer, the growth being
hardy and of a remarkable size.
Byron Barthoff raised a turnip meas
uring just thirty-two inches in circum
ference. Forty tons of line large po
tatoes were produced by one man, and
sold to the commissary department.
’otatoes yield ten tons to the acre in
this fertile valley.
A petition has been presented to the
postal department for the establish
ment of a posloffice at the Granite
mine, Hobo bay. The name of the
new office when established will be
"Granite," with W. R. Millard as post
master.
There are more than one hundred
men employed in the Granite mine,
and development properties in that
district, and the postoltice will prove
a great convenience for them. The
launch Shamrock, which carries the
I mail lo Port Wells and way ports,
■alls at the Granite nearly every trip,
and the added expense of crossing
the hay from Golden w-ill be very
small.
Juneau.—Two large Diesel engines,
with the usual fittings and pumps,
were a part of the Sophia's freight
consigned for Juneau recently and were
consigned with instructions to unload
at Jualin. This machinery was ship
ped from England, since u foreign pa
tent makes it impossible to manu
facture them in America. The engines
will be installed at the Jualin mines
nd will be used to pump out the
water which progress of work at the
Tines ever has been a serious handi
cap to the since extensive underground
development.
