SEWARD, Feb. 1.—City Attorney
•
Coppernoll returned from Washington
D. C., yesterday whither he has been
for the purpose of conferring with the
land office officials relative to the sale
of government lots in the Seward
reclamations for school sites, together
with other matters pertaining to this
section. He says that Seward Is now
due for a period cf big activity and
everything points to a great increase
of government work in and around this
section. As to the sale of lots during
the present year, the attorney says
that he is not sure but thinks the sales
will probably occur in April.
The repairs on the dock, which was
partially destroyed in the tire some
days ago are going forward rapidly and
the structure will soon be in use again
Reports reaching here by the steamer
Admiral Farragut, yesterday say that
the wharf at Fidalgo bay built to
handle the ore from the Fidalgo bay
copper mine, which w-as blown down
in the storm last month, will be rebuilt
as it is almost. Impossible to handle
the or© otherwise.

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 31.—A further
catastrophe was added to the long list
of damages this section has been
compelled to endure through the
breaking of the Cuyamaca dam at the
source of the San Diego river, today
Three billion of gallons of water were
released and poured down the valley
in a devastating flood which over
whelmed many of the farm houses In
its path besides sweeping away many
acres of orchards.
So far as known no lives were lost
as a result of the break, as the occu
pants of the various ranches have long
since fled to the safety of the hills
Soldiers and marines were landed
from the vessels of the Paicflc squa
dron, now in port, this morning for
the purpose of aiding in the rescue of
numerous bodies which are coming
down from valleys. Looting has added
its horrors to the terrible conditions
ctnerwise prevailing. The various
rescue parties returning here report
that evidences of looting are to be
found everywhere in the houses still
standing In the flooded sections and
several of the bodies recovered show's
evidences of having been robbed. Rear
Admiral Fullham, commander of the
Pacific squadron, on his return from
the upper valley today remarked that
the looting was the worst he had ever
seen. The men from the warships
picked up a total of twenty one bodies

51 KILLED AND INJURED
IN PARIS AIR RAID
I
^ P. A. Service.
PARIS. Jan. 31.—A total of twenty
four people were killed and twenty
seven suffered Injuries as the result
of a Zeppelin raid which occurred here
last night. Despite the careful watch
kept for the approach of hostile
air craft the Germans were
enabled to come well over the city
before their presence was discovered
by the glittering beams of the search
lights mounted on the forts and taller
buildings.
| Promptly with the firing of the aero
guns the llghta were shrouded and 1>.
five minutes after the German airships
had put In their appearance the capital
was shrouded in durkness while thou
sands roamed the boulevards watching
the skies as the Zeppelins circled over
the city in the brilliant pencils of
light cutting the darkness. Before
the French aeroplane squadron could
get Into contact with the Germans
the dropping bombs had destroyed sev
eral buildings in addition to killing
and Injuring the number stated. The
Qermans were finally driven off by the
aero corps after a savage battle In
midair In which neither side apparently
suffered any damage.

SECRETARY.
UNITED STATES SMALLEST
RADIUM PRODUCER
A. P. A. 8«r vies.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Despite
the fact that there is more radium
used per year In the United States than
In any other country, the Geological
Survey report shows that radium
worth nine million dollars was found
In various countries but that this
country produced only six grammes
of the total although there la 5n
abundance of the raw minerals from
which the precious substance Is de
rived.
A P. A. Service.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Roosevelt
again donned his war paint before
delivering an address at he Brooklyn
Institute of Arts and Sciences last
night and before he was through ho
had caused his listeners to gasp with
wonder at the way he handed the hot
talk on national and International
questions.
Roosevelt commenced by flaying tin
republicans of the country for adopt
I n o’ tontlpo IntonHptl to nrpvpnt tho
German-Amerlcan voters from taking
offense and declared that the aforesaid
republicans were not true Americans
If they truckled to the hyphenates
and also declared that the democrats
were as bad if not worse for their
evident attempts to placate the voters
of German extraction, all for the sak
of gettine n tew more votes.
Roosevelt then turned his attention
to Germany and 'ook a fall nut of tha
country for Tfo treatment of the Pel
glans and also severely scored the
past performances of the Teutons In
the matter of their foreign relations
ermany was also taken to task far
the methods of her submarine warfare,
which Roosevelt declared to be the
worst exhibition of brutality seen In
n odern times.
Having lambasted Germany he then
turned his attention to What he
termed the “bomb and torch campaign
for eestroying American munitions
plants' and condemned both the admin
istration and the pro-German syrnpa
SALMON PACKERS SEEK
TO EVADE BACK TAXES
A. P. A. Service.
SEWARD, Jan. 31.—That the recom
mendation of Secretary Redfleld which
calls for the repeal of that section
of the organic act relative to ttie right
of the territorial legislature to impose
a tax on the salmon fisheries, is slru
ply a scheme on the part of the pack
ers to evade the payment of the back I
taxes Imposed by the territory, is the!
statement of those who are conversant ^
with the situation.
The fish situation at the present
time is this: The salmon packers lost
the suit brought for the purpose of
thlzera, the one for their activities an !
the other for the lack of activity.1
• In no other country on earth would j
the government hate stood one half o i
what has occurred In the United
States without hat lng lined a bunch
of the conspirators up against a wall
before a firing squad,” he declared
Before closing he vouched for sug
gestion that one way to eliminate the
present troubles was to a boycott or.
all war reports from Europe. This he
asserted would have a tendency to
ally much of the racial feeling whlcii
lies at the bottom of the disturbances I
ERYAN WILL STUMP
AGAINST PREPAREDNESS
A. P. A. Service.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—It Is an-1
nounced that Bryan will take the
stump against preparedness some time
within the next ten days and will
probably follow’ the trail of President
Wilson In his efforts to destroy any
impression In favor cf defense pro
gram made by the executive. The
efforts of Wilson are not looked upon
by the capitalist press with any great
degree of favor owing to the general
weakness of his siatements relative to
the needs for an Increased armament
preventing the territory collecting
taxes when the matter wa» tried out
In the Juneau court and the case le
now on appeal with the sum of two
hundred and twenty five thousand
dollar In back taxes Involved
* According to those In the know It
Is this prospect that Is worrying the
packers more than any other. Frarln*
they will lose the case, they get Sec
retary Redfleld to recommend t'.e re
peal of that section of the territorial
enabling act which gives Alaska tha
right to place ft license tax on the
product of the salmon packer*
That, It Is claimed Is the animating
cause of the whole matter which
threatens to deprive the territory of •
great source of revenue and also the
back taxes Involved In the present
suit. J. H. Cobb, counsel for the terri
tory, points out that If the packer*
are successful In their design of play
ing th* department of commerce Into
securing a repeal of th* tax clauss It
will bring an added burden of taxation
on the people of the territory.
Cobb declares that the act will force
an increase In the property tax to make
up the deficiency In the revenues
necessary to sustain the territorial
government, and It Is therefore up to
the people to protest the attempt of
the packers to have the fisheries placed
beyond the territorial Jurisdiction So
far the Seward Chamber of Commerce
has been the only one to take a de
cided stand in the matter by making
a protest. The other towns of the
territory are either not aware of the
Importance of the matter or are afraid
of offending the packing Interests a*
none of them have shown any In
clination to offer a protest agalnn th*
glaring attempt to rob th* territory or
its rights.
Several papers are openly criticising
him for what are termed his "tendency
to vague generalities" and It la plain
that they want a little more ginger
In the sauce he Is feeding the public
through his preparation addressee
