HOME-MADE LUXURIES.
_
It is gradually coming to the con
sciousness of the public that we are i
not likely to lose nearly as many
imported luxuries by reason of the
war as had been supposed. For in
stance, it has been discovered that
some very popular brands of French
champagne have been French only
in name, the product itself originating
on the sunny hills of California.
There is also a violent surprise await
ing the consumers in the matter of
cheeses. There are some cheese od
ors that no imagination could con
ceive to be American, yet it has been
discovered that Limburger, and some
of its sister cheeses, are successfully
made in Hoboken and Cincinnati, and
doubtless other places in America.
It is probable that the chief effect
of the war so far as foreign luxur
ies are concerned will be to stim-.
ulate their production in American
factories that have for some time
catered to the trade. There may be
some shortages in birdseed and sheet
music, but' as soon as American sour
ces of production are enabled to ex
pand their facilities the stress will
pass away. So it is with genuine
Russian caviare, which for years has
been prepared in America quite as
handily as in Russia. As long as the
American fish egg supply holds out
we are not likely to run short of this
popular imported delicacy. The evi
dence seems to be that for many
years American manufacturers have
been modestly making reputations for
factories in Europe.
The war situation, indeed, has
shown that America is far more self
sustaining and self-reliant than had
been supposed. There has been some
well founded claim of native capacity
to stand alone and compete, in inven
tive faculty and manufacturing ex
cellence with any nation on earth. It
begins to look as though Americans
have been entirely too modest and
too prone to abnegation. There has
been too much tendency to accord
to foreign peoples credit for the ex
cellence of American made goods,
for mere commercial reasons.—Post

AUTOMOBILE DAY
FOR VALDEZ TRAIL
Three Gasolene Cars Leave Valdez
This Morning for Inter
, ior Points.
Today was automobile day, no less
than three cars having left Valdez
over the wagon road. The big "Kel
ley” truck, owned and operated by
G. Nelson, was the first to get away
with Fairbanks for its destination.
Two passengers were aboard and a
large quantity of fast freight was
taken. Mr. Nelson arrived here on
the steamer Evans from Juneau,
where he has been operating the big
truck.
Buck Hoyt’s “red devil” combina
tion freight and passenger car was
next to get away for Hoyt’s head
quarters at Gulkana. Buck went to
eattle and returned on the Evans with
the Overland car. He expects to do
a good passenger business between
Valdez and Gulkana. He took a car
go of wet goods.
Charley Day sent his Ford machine
to Chitina, where he has it sold to
Bob Sheldon. Mrs. Miller went as a
passenger as far as Ernestine road
house.
Joe Stanton, the Gulkana mail car
rier, also got away this morning with
a big load of supplies for the road
houses along the trail. Fred Ed
munds, from the Gakona ranch also
left town this morning with a load
of supplies for the ranch.
Vote For
George R. Goshaw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close
of the mining and business season at this placer camp, to
come before you in person, I find it necessary to make
this announcement through the medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator to the Territorial
legislature, from the Third Division, at the
Election on Tuesday, November the Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor
does the office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want
your support and vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have
made no pledges or promises to any individual, party or
concern, and if elected will go to Juneau, absolutely unham
pered with ties of any kind; to do that which will advance
the interests of the whole people of Alaska:—not to go there
and vote “aye and nay” during the session, but to work
with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a con
siderable experience, especially in this Division, and con
tinue such work, throughout the year and the entire term
of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely
cast your ballot for any of the other candidates for this
office, THEN VOTE FOR ME. Yours very truly,
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914. GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

ASSESSMENT WORK
But Gov. Strong Wires a Protest To
Washington—Katalla Also
Protests.
JUNEAU, Sept. 17.—Governor
Strong yesterday, in replying to an
inquiry from Commissioner Tillman,
of the U. G. General Land Office,
asking the governor’s opinion regard
ing the bills introduced in congress
which abated the assessment work
on mining claims in Alaska on the
ground that the European war had
created abnormal conditions and had
caused a lack of labor in the north,
emphatically opposed the bills and
wired as follows: "No general sen
timent among mine workers and own
ers in Alaska for abatement of as
sessment work. It is merely a move
of non-resident owners who wish to
save the expenses of doing the usual
work. The European war has not cre
ated any abnormal conditions in
Alaska except to increase the supply
of labor rather than to diminish it.
The bills should not pass.”
The expose by the people of Nome
of the efforts of the delegate and of
Congressman Johnson to save the big
corporate interests of the First divis
ion has opened the eyes of the peo
ple here to the vicious attempts of
the non-resident mine owners to save
themselves the necessary work on
claims which they will not open nor
allow the prospectors of the north to
have and yet refuse to do the work
required by law if they can secure
legislation from congress to save
themselves.
Katalla Does Not Favor Bills.
KATALLA, Sept 17—The people
of Katalla do not want assessment
work suspended.
(Signed) CITIZENS OF KATALLA.
The people of the oil city, where
foreign capitalists have the lion’s
share of the ground, are opposed to
the efforts of the corporation hire
lings in congress to aid the big cor
porate interests and have wired the
above protest to the Valdez Prospec
tor.

Russians Occupy Eastern Hungary.
BUCHAREST, Roumania, Sept. 17.
—The Russian troops are occupying
eastern Hungary in order to claim
that section of Austria-Hungary when
peace is established. The Russians
have designs upon large section." of
the Slav speaking parts of the Aus
trian empire and also upon a big
slice of Hungary proper.
Moors On War Path.
ROME, Sept. 17.—The German ag
ents in Africa have finally succeeded
in stirring up the Moors in Moroc
co and Algeria and as a result the
Spanish and French fleets are speed
ing to the African coast to protect
foreigners.
Italy Makes Protest
The Italian government has pro
tested to the German government be
cause of the campaign started by the
kaiser’s agent to have the Moors and
MohammedAh people attack the
Christians and bring on a religious
war. The Italian government has
pointed out the fact that a large part
of the Italian provinces are inhabit
ed by Mohammedans and that the
government looks with disfavor upon
the work of the German consuls.
German Consul Arrested.
The Italian government has under
arrest two German consuls who were
working among the natives in Tripoli
to have them start a war.
