NOME. ALASKA, JUNE 4. 1915
It is clear that the Italians are not
going to let their enthusiasm run away
with their judgment in the matter of
conducting the Austrian campaign,
not for a while anyway. The an
nouncement that they are delaying the
advance in order to secure their lines
against possible surprises in the shape
of an unsuspected flank movement of
the enemy indicates that they have a
suspicion that the feeble Austrian re
sistance so far has a rather sinister
portent as indicating that Austria
wishes to draw the Italian forces as
for from their base as possible. What
the ultimate effect of Italy's entrance
into the war will be, cannot lie even
conjectured, but it seems that her gen
erals are playing a slow and careful
game and taking as few chances as
possible in the face of an overwhelm
ing temptation to rush things while
the road is open and but little opposi
tion is in view All of which leads to
the belief that if the present activities
are an indication of the future policy.
Austria will have some trouble on her
hands before she brings them to terms.
The dispatches announcing that the
Japanese people, or a portion at least,
are so dissatisfied with the failure of
their government to grab all there was
of China in addition to all that was
worth having that they break out in
rabid denunciations of the ruling
powers, serves to show just how hog
gish some people can become when
they think the other fellow' is easy.
It’s somewhat like taking a fellow’s
clothes away from him and then kick
ing because you didn’t grab his hat.
If the list of the demands insisted upon
by Japan with such success are an ap
proximation of the facts, one wonders
what there was left in China, that was
worth having, that rapacious Japan
didn't annex in one fashion or another.
It may be possible that the Jap jingoes,
finding that China was so easy to
pluck, are peeved that the Mikado
didn’t gobble up the whole works and
annex it to the Nippon domain. That
England should be blamed for the sug
gested failure of the government to get
the feathers with the bird, seems to in
dicate also that the Japanese must
have felt a restraining hand from that
direction or else the Japs are inclined
to take the cue from more exalted
sources and immediately blame Johnny
Bull for everything that goes wrong.
A Department of Commerce bulletin
informs the unsuspecting public that
the name of that tenuous appendage
of Knik Amt hitherto known as Ship
Creek, hereafter nnd doutless as long
as the stars and stripes shall wave o'er
this broad land, shall he known as
Woodrow Creek, all of which leads to
the suggestion that the aforesaid
"Woodrow" Creek is llkeh to become
a place >f some considerable promin
ence in the not far distant future It
has already been intimated that Ship
Creek would ultimately he the most
Important point on the line of the pro
posed government railroad to interior
Alaska, even to the extent of super
seding Seward as the terminus of deep
water navigation nnd this suddenly
conferred dignity scents to lend an ad
ded weight to the suggestion In any
event. It is dally becoming more clearly
established that the government In
tends to make Woodrow Creek the
most important place on the line dur
ing tile period of railroad eonstruetlon
nt least and who knows hut that It
may ultimately become the principle
point of connection hetween deep water
traffic nnd the Matnnuskn coal fields.
We would dislikb to see Seward lose
Its present prominence hut It Is never
the less indicated that there is a
chance nnd as straws show the way
the wind blows, this change of name
seems to assume a singular signific
ance. What’s the use of altering the
name of a locality that has no appar
ent future when the work of railroad
eonstruetlon shall hr finished unless it
is conceived, or designed. that the
place is to become of some constderahle
importance?

Delegate Wickegsh.tm constantly, in
season and out of season, appeals to
the prejudice of the wiwking class
against politicians, yet his sole busi
ness during the sixteen years of his
connection with Alaska has been pol
itics. and he has managed to keep
himself on the payroll for fifteen of
those sixteen years. During that time
he has woi ked at one ti.ne or another
with practically every political faction,
every political party and every school

The Skagwav Gateway says:Over

Warden Erickson say s some of the men
have taken tip again the search for a
treasure supposed to have been hid
den there by the Russians Mr. Eric
son has seen himself several old shafts
and dumps dug by the Russians lung
before Portage liay got the idea that
i' would lie a railroad terminal. He
returned recently front that quarter
and at that time the search was on.
There are two stories about the gold.
Cine is that it was hidden by convicts,
hut for the sake of local color convicts
arc always dragged into stories of Rus
sia. It is said that some of the natives
hate nuggets in their possession from
the hidden hunch, but that they keep

Dr. Alfred Thompson, member front
Yukon territory to the Dominion par
liament at Ottawa, has succeeded in
getting the consent of the government
to have a. new, authentic and up-to
date book published on the Yukon and
its resources. This book is now be
ing complied by W. I, Little, formerly
of the commissioner's office, in Dawson.
Little compiled the old book on Yukon.
The new book Is not a reprint, but a
new work, giving the latest Informa
tion on hydraulic mining, gold quartz
mining, copper, coal, and old methods
of placer mining. F. .1 Brownlee,
director of surveys for Yukon, is also
in Ottawa gathering Yukon material
which is stored up in different depart
ments He is compiling a Yukon map

A sled, driven hy an air propeller,
for the transportation of mails In
Alaska, is the invention of I. S. Mc
Gregor. of Spokane, who will leave
shortly for St. Michael, Alaska, with
the first complete model of the new
Invention. The machine, known ns
the Gale power sled, was hutlt at the
Novelty Carriage Works, and the mo
tor, which was formerly used in a
Curtiss biplane here, is of the elght
c\Under, air cooled type, generating
•14 horsepower. The body is made of 22
gunge steel. The new sled is 13 feet
long and the widest part Is 3 feet. The
drawings provide for five passengers.
The runners of the machine are de- i
tachable and are four inches In width. ]
Two runners, six feet long ar« attached
to the front of the machine, and one.
five feet long, in the rear. The inven
tor has already tried out his model and
claims that he has proved its ability.
The complete machine, which will be
shipped to Alaska, will be used to
carry mail between Valdez and Fair
banks and tit. Michael.—Spukane
