NOME, ALASKA, OCT, 9, 1916.
Now that Bulgaria is definitely com- |
mitted to war, one cannot refrain from |
wondering what will be the ultimate |
result of the drastic course taken by |
that nation. From many angles it up- |
years that here is the match which
will bring about a conflagration that Is
likely to result in far greater changes
■ n the map of Europe than were prob
able were the great joint war fought
to a definite conclusion between the
original combatants. So close is the
contest between the Teutons and their
opponents that the probability of a
drawn battle seems the most out
standing prospect. A conclusion of this
nature holds but little prospect of
any considerable changes in the in
ternational boundary lines as it is
more than likely that the belligerents
would be Content with holding pos
session of their original territory.
These nations are, however, able to
cope with the strongest of the strong
on a plane of equality and own no
superior powers, but, with Bulgaria
It l9 different. She is small and weak j
and must depend upon the friendship
of the powerful nations with which
she Is surrounded for her very exist
ence. hence in easting her lot with the
Teutonic allies she is laying herself
liable to a most serious train of con
sequences through arousing the 111 will
of powers greater than herself and
(gainst which she can offer but a most
foeable reslstence in the event of hos
tile activities, Russia will undoubted
ly bo thoroughly aroused at the action
of joining the Teutons at this critical
moment In the great war game when
the addition of a few hundred thou
md men may mean tho turning of the
tide of battle against one sldo or the
other The western allies, no less
I an Russia, will he provoked nt the
r’9tlle movement of tho Bulgarians
and will undoubtedly demand her pun
ishment. To a nation of small size
this means little else than final dis
memberment; a process that cannot
tie prevented without the assistance of
a greater power Tills will unques
i nahly be the fate of the Bulgurs
ihe event that the Teutons do not
win a decisive victory.
A serious proposal Is being advanc
| ed In England for the creation of a
new cabinet officer, a "minister of
j thrift," to take ns his province the
j regulation of the civil establishment of
; the country along the lines of econ
j "my and efficiency It le argued that
I by the Introduction of "business moth
j < ds” a saving of $50,000,000 a year
: could be made in the conduct of the
! civil establishment, an amount well
worth saving at any time, and more
1 artlculnrlv worth saving lust now.
The estimate of the amount of pos
sible saving Is of course pure guess
v ork, and In that respect ranks with
the saying of the late Senator Aldrich
that the government of the United
5’tates, If placed on a business basis,
could be conducted for $200,000,000 a
: cal less than It was costing at the
lime.
One of the most notable features of
the administration of President Tnft
was the persistence with which he en
deavored to Introduce economy and
efficiency Into the public service. He
established a commission to lnvestl
■ato the whole subject, and as fast as
i ports were made he followed them
op. In the brief time In which It was
at work the commission was able to
point out how many millions could be
Mieil. All of the recommendations
which could be followed without new
glslatloii were placed In effect by
| executive action, with a resulting sav
ing of $13,000,000 a year In office ex
nsva. Those which required con
gressional action before they could be
, .it into effect were submitted to con
gress, but that body never acted upon
them.
One of the first acts of the demo
crats when they got control of con
gress was to cut nff the appropriations
for this efficiency commission, so it
went out of existence. During the
Taft administration the government
expenses were less by many millions
•f dollars annually than they were
under the Roosevelt administration or
under the administration of President
Wilson, but Ids ideas of thrift, econ
■my and efficiency seem to have made
him no friends either In or out of con
gress. Perhaps things will be dif
ferent in England, should the experl
nent which President Taft started
here he honestly carried out there.—

NOTES
Thomas Dean, of Long creek, near
Ruby, pleaded guilty to an indict
ment charging illegal voting last week,
and Judge Bunnell find him $100 and
costs. This is the first case of the
kind In the territory.
Martin Harrais, the erstwhile demo
cratic candidate for delegate to con
gress, is reported to have struck a rich
load on Twin creek, Fairbanks dis
trict. The ore is in prophyry and Is
rich.
_ i
Ratterson and Finley made their j
fourth cleanup this week from their
workings on Livengood creek. They
took out 223 ounces of dust, assay
ing $17.86 to tho ounce, and netting
the operators $8,982.78. They have
taken out 4G0 ounces already this
.'car, making approximately $3,000
from their Deep Channel claims.
The |M>stotflco at Fairbanks has
"backslid” in receipts, and as a con
sequence the government has reduced
the postmaster's salary from $2,000 to
$1,900 per annum. The salaries of
the postmasters at Cordova, Nome,
Douglas, Juneau, Ketchikan and Se
ward have been increased $100 per
annum, due to Increased receipts. Tho
Iditarod receipts fell off and the office
is now in the fourth class having been
reduced from the presidential class.
The strike among tile miners at
lung, near Ruby, has closed down
main mines. A good many men nf
fected by the strike are scattering to
other creks. and some art leaving the
district At present there Is no In
dication of a compromise, as the mtn,e
owners say the ground will not stand
' - wage scale.
The Fairbanks Citizen reports that
a resident of that town provided on
; .real ament for a large number 01
tourists by hitching his dog team to
• sled and allowing the tourists to
be photographed, clad in furs, on the
rielgh. The fact that the background
riiowed tall grass and flowers did not
1 lessen the attraction of the tourists to
eeure pictures of themselves travel
i Mg in Alaska.
R. V. McGuire, of Fairbanks, reports
that he has been successful in locat
ing a bed of sulphur a short distance
I from Fairbanks He also Bays he
knows of a deposit of oil which he
intends to locate when the oil lands
are thrown open for lease. McGuire
!s well known in all parts of Alaska
having for a number of years been
rnnneeted with detective agencies
j John Scharle, the Burbank of Fair
banks, has succeeded in securing a
cross between the native strawberry
>nd the "Jessy,” the leading variety
trown for the market in the United
States. The new variety is said to re
nin the delicious flavor of the wild
berry and attains a considerable
growth. He has received an order
for all his plants from a New York
ornery, which has offered a substan
tial sum for a variety of strawberries
which would withstand all kinds of
weather.
That tiie machinery used in placet
mining in Alaska has been brought
to the highest stage of efficiency In
ny part of the world is evidenced by
.he fact that a Fairbanks maehiner>
house recently received an ordei
from a Nevada tnineowner for a ear
ner the Invention of a Fairbanks man
When Klondike was struck only the
crudest of methods were In use, and
many Inventions for thawing frozen
round and hoisting the gravel to the
urface and depositing It on the dump
has been worked out by miners from
time to time. The Nevada miner be
lieves that the Fairbanks carrier Is
■ uperlor to any other kind used In the
United States.
Tom Shark, an old miner who has
made several fortunes and spent them
in mining ventures. Is reported to have
made another strike on Hodzana river,
about 150 miles north of the Yukon
river. The extent of the diggings has
not been demonstrated, but $50 in
course gold was taken from the bot
tom of the first shaft to bedrock. Stark
filled the hole to prevent any chance
prospector ascertaining the extent of
his pay. and Immediately struck out
for Rampart, 300 miles away, to notify
his partners. Other miners on the
Hadzana, angered at Stark for keep
ing the find secret and not letting
them In on the strike, have jumped
many of the claims staked by Stark
and his partners. Rampart Is the re
cording office for the new camp and
a considerable stampede Is taking
place to the diggings In the hopes that
It will prove to he the Eldorado for
which the miners of Interior Alaska
have longing since the Idltarod was
struck.
