Pearls in Yukon and Tributaries
Report.' coining from along the Yukon
say that the fre.-h water pearl industry is
destined at no distant day to be one of
the important industries of Alaska. It is
Mated that for the past two y» ars parties
have been collecting pearls along the streams
mid doughs running into the \ ukon river
\.lneh abound in pearls of high quality. The
'.mrce of the Yukon pearl is the pearl mus
'd. which is said to grow in great abun
dance and to great size. Parties in a posi
n to know say that many beautiful pearls
have been sent from along the Yukon to
tlm Outside during the past two years, and
that the parties are doing a good business
in pearls, which they are keeping very quiet
about. Nome Nugget.
The B,g Quartz FmJ Near Seward
AI Wolf and A H. Tuti, well known pros
ytor-, arrived in Seward from Broad pass
«.n September 11. bringing a story of one
».f rh • greato-r .-trikes made in the North
•■<• the Dawson find. It consist.- of im
n.on-c- low-grade lodges or dikes, located in |
th- Broad pass country. Wolf and Tutt
-ay they staked claims on ledges for more
than 2.000 feet in width that have been
t«;,ced and staked for a distance of eighteen
miles. They report that the Wells broth
ers. Interior mining men, have staked
ledges that average 100 feet in width and.
that assays straight across better than $15
I er t n. with a fourteen-foot pay streak
i n the hanging wall which will average bet
ter than $250 a ton. Countless other finds
have been made this summer. Pankey
brothers of Virginia City. Mont., made a
rich find and are on a steamer taking sev
en? v samples of ore to Seattle for assay
t*■ -1s. A»ayer Rae of Knik. who has made
tots of the ore, stales that 98 per cent re
cvery can be made by the cyanide process.
Government engineers are cutting a trail
from Broad pass to Susitna station, and
i,,::ny prospectors and mining men plan go
ing in this winter. Thirty five were in the
r.mntry lu.-t summer, and all staked claims
and are satisfied, because there is an im
mense deposit of good coal available on
the ground for smelters. The entire coun
try is in 11 allied over the account of the
strike.
Democratic Mix-Up at Nome
A Nome dispatch to the Seward Gateway
of September 5 says that politics in that
city is in what might be called a suspended
condition at present. The Democrats are
split uy> to a considerable extent, and all
are waiting to see which side wiil take the
lead in the reception of the Democratic can
didate. The Democratic Club members, or
the majority of them, are fighting Judge
Tucker and Marshal Jordan, and both of
these officials have a strong following in
what might be called the unofficial ranks
of the Democrats. George Grigsby, who
was mentioned as a possible candidate for
congress, is now mayor of Nome, and
said to have the support of the large ma
ioiity of local Democrats. He is opposed
to the judge and the marshal people, but
it is believed that Bunnell will have to
depend on Grigsby for support.
Mining Cca! cn Seward Peninsula
It is stated that during last winter be- I
tween 000 and 1,000 tons of coal was taken
out of the mine on the Kugruk river, Sew
ard peninsula, by George \\ allene and six
employes, and nearly every ton of it was
hauled to Candle creek, twenty-one miles
distant, and sold for $10 per ton.
Agriculture in Tanana Valley
The Fairbanks rimes thus describes a j
visit to the government agricultural experi- ;
meat station near lister Siding by a party |
composed of Professor George-on. Falcon !
Jo.-lm. Colonel W. P. Richardson and others;
in front of the house is a long row of sweet
ovas, which grow up along the fence. In
side this is an attractive patch of white
clover and a great, valvet-like bed of pan
sies. All around the porch of the house
are sweet pea vines that run as high as
eight fret. In the rear of the residence is a
patch of red clover, which was planted as
an experiment, and its appearance is enough
to ci nvince the casual observer that it has
proved a success. It is about eight inches
tail and lias a very hardy appearance.
Professor Gecrgeson expressed the opinion
that this variety of red clover will prosper
in the Interior, and likewise that a herd
of cattle would thrive on it. Of striking
appearance is the strawberry patch, which
contain- two varieties of the fruit. One is
the wild strawberry of Southeastern Alaska,
which has been cultivated, while the other
is a wild species of the Interior which has
been hybridized. The former appears more
hardy, and the agricultural experts declare
that it will live through the winter without
any especial attention. Among the many
things which drew the especial attention of
the visitors was a species of turnip which
is under cultivation. The turnip has the
appearance of a luscious apple, and is what
might be termed strictly worm-proof.
Worms will not eat it or deface the ap
pearance in any way. and the taste is very
pleasing. Mr. Neal is raising a large field
of this variety of turnip, and will It it go
to seed. Next year this seed will be dis
tributed among the farmers of the district
at little cost. All of the various species of
grain which are under cultivation this year
are all that could be desired, and Mr. Neal
has an excellent exhibit prepared for the
San Francisco fair. Some of the grain is
more than seven feet high, and in places
will run almost 100 bushels to the acre. A
large area is being cleared now and will be
under cultivation next summer.”

Arctic Chief Claude Baker has called the
first meeting < f Cutup No. 27. Arctic Broth
erhood, for the 1914-15 season to meet at
A. B. hall on next Monday evening, October
19, at 8:20 o’clock, and all members of the
order art* urgently requested to put in an
appearance and help shape aft airs for the
year.
The coming season promises to be one
of the most interesting in the history of the
district, and the camp will strive to main
tain its splendid reputation as a source of
wholesome entertainments and dances.
In all probability, much to the regret of
all. Camp Mat No. 2ft will not be a very
active organization during the coming win
ter, owing to the heavy loss sustained by
it when the big tire at Flat City last April
completely wiped out its large and beautiful
hall, and this, too. only a very few days
after the last item of indebtedness had been
liquidated. Quite a number of the members
of Camp No. 2ft, realizing the futility of
again endeavoring 4o establish a new home
for the lodge at this stage of the town’s his
tory. and who also desire to continue as
active members of the popular Northern
order, will deposit their membership ere
dentials in Camp No. 27. where they will be
gladly welcomed.
All Arctic Brothers should attend the
meeting next Monday evening.
POSTMASTER PROVED HIS CASE
Postmaster S. J. Bakke. at Nome, Alaska,
has just presented to Third Assistant Post
master General Dockery one of the sim
plest and most convincing alibis ever pro
duced in the postal service.
It is unique in many respects, and as a
result the postoffice department is in pos
session of an exceptionally fine photograph
of two steamships pushing their way
through the ice in Nome harbor June 1.
when the re.-t of the United States is usu
ally sweltering.
The revenue cutter Bear, the “good an
gel” of the northern seas, is cleaving a path
way and is followed by the steamship ('or
win. Navigation is supposed to open the
first of June, but it is frequently no easy
matter to get in the first mails from the
States. When no mails come in, of course,
none go out.
The photograph was taken at 11 o’clock
at night, another unusual feature, for it
shows that the light must have been fine
and strong. In June Nome has the most
daylight of any American city of conse
quence.
Here is the postmaster’s letter inclosing ;
the photograph:
“The Honorable Third As-istant Post
master General: The picture was taken at
11 o’clock p. m. on June !. 1014. and will
show you the arrival of first mail on the
revenue cutter Bear, and will explain to
you why you do not get my reports cover
ing March quarter until the latter part of
June.”
Governor Dockery says that the cxplana
tic n is both lucid and convincing, and is
accepted. -Washington Star.
OSTEND
< ‘sic i?c! has a p iruihi’.i'.n c-f about 40.000.
It is a seaport town and pleasure resort,
being visitor! annually by about 50,000 per
sons, principally from Iingland. Formerly it
was strongly fortified, but since 1865 it*
fortifications have been replaced by fine
promenades. The harbor is not easy of ac
cess, but has been greatly improved in re
cent years by the construction of extensive
basins, which form the termination of a
magnificent line of canals stretching like
a network into the interior, and furnishing
admirable facilities for commerce. Its man
ufaeturing is unimportant, but it has an ex
tensive trade in sea products. Ostend was
founded in the ninth century. It sustained
a memorable siege from July 4, 1601. to
September 28. 1604, during which the be
sieged lost about 50,000 men and the Span
ish besiegers more than 80.000.
NOTED BANDIT DEAD
LONDON, Sept. 6. A correspondent in
Morocco says that Raisuii, the noted Moor
ish brigand, and pretender to the throne of
Morocco, has died in the country between
Tetuan and Tangier.
Raisuii gained fame in 1904. when he
captured Ion Perdicaris, an American, near
Tangier, and demanded a ransom of $o0.
000. Mr. Roosevelt, then President of the
United States, demanded of the sultan of
Morocco, “Perdicaris alive or Raisuii dead. ’
Perdicaris was released after an Ameri
can fleet made a demonstration at Tangier.
“NEED MARRIAGES" IN BERLIN
On the Sunday following mobilization,
says a Berlin dispatch, there were 2.000
“need marriages,” or hasty weddings of of
ficers and soldiers, which may be solem
i nized without banns. The kaisers son.
Prince Oscar, was married to Countess Ina
von Bassewitz on mobilization day. Prince
Adelbert, his naval brother, and Princess
Adelheid of Saxe Meiningen were married
under similar circumstances. Included
among the bridegrooms on the Sunday fol
lowing mobilization were a Moltke, a Bue
j low, a Blucher, a Bismarck, a Delbruck
and other names famous in history. One
bride in the Teltow Trinity church fell
dead as the wedding ring was placed upon
her finger. The bridegroom was due to re
port to his command within fifteen minutes
and could only walk from the church and
! hasten to the barracks.
The big "Hotel de Malamute,” which
has been conducted as a very successful
summer resort for nearly two hundred
working dogs, located in the upper part of
the city, under the management of Messrs.
Leonard, Courtney and Lewis, was closed
for the season yesterday. During the past
ten days the owners of the dogs have been
taking their animals from the place, and
yesterday a long string of the brutes were
convoyed to the creeks, where they will be
delivered to their masters. All the dogs
appeared to be in fine condition, and in
good shape for their winter’s work.
It is never too late or too early to come
to the Crosby and have a bath. We al*
ways have plenty of hot water and steam.
We keep our bath rooms nice and warm
and our towels are spotlessly clean. We
give quick service and courteous treatment
to all. THE CROSBY BATHS.

THE POLAND OF TODAY
The Poland of 1715 was larger than any
other European country, with the exception
of Russia. Today it has no political entity,
says the National Geographic Society at
Washington. D. C., in a statement recently
issued. Two centuries ago its domain
reached from the Baltic to the Carpathians,
ami stretched from east to west for a dis
tance of approximately 600 miles.
“The first partition of Poland came in
1772, when Prussia and Austria, alarmed by
the progress of Russia in Poland, suggested,
as a means of maintaining the equilibrium
of Europe, that all three powers readjust
their territories at the expense of Poland,"
reads the society’s bulletin. “Poland lay
utterly helpless. She lost about one fifth
of her population and one fourth of her ter
ritory. The second partition, in 1793, re
duced Poland to one-third of her original
dimensions, with a population of about
3,500,000. A third treaty of partition was
signed in 1796. The congress of Vienna, in
IS 15, divided Poland between Prussia,
Austria and Russia, with the exception of
Cracow, which was erected into a republic
embedded in Galicia. Posen and Gnesen,
with a population of 810,000, were left to
Prussia. Austria remained in possession of
Galicia, with its 1,500,000 inhabitants. Lith
uania and the Ruthenian Palatinates contin
ued to be incorporated with Russia. The
remnant was constituted as the so-called
Congress Kingdom, under t^e emperor of
Russia as the king of Poland^
“In the same year Czar Alexander I.
granted the new kingdom a constitution,
which declared it to be united to Russia,
in the person of the czar, as a separate
political entity. Poland retained its flag
and a national army. In 1830, following
the outbreak of the French revolution, a
military revolt took place in W arsaw. This
war lasted for ten months, and at its con
clusion the Congress Kingdom was reduced
to the position of a Russian province. The
last remaining remnant ot Poland’s separate
political existence was Cracow, and it was
finally occupied by Austria in IS 16. I he
last attempt of the Poles to achieve inde
prudence was in 1863. It was marked by
no real battle, and the uprising was soon
repressed. The national history of Poland
closes with this attempt at freedom. In
ISOS. by ukase of the emperor of Russia,
the government was absolutely incorpor
ated with that of Russia, and the use of
the Polish language in public places and for
public purposes was prohib u*
“Russian Poland contain' the fir.-t line
: f deft n ■ s of the Russian empire on its
western frontier. The marshy lowlands,
covered with forests on the western bank
of the Vistula, offer a natural defense
against an army advancing from the west,
and tliev are siren, hened by a number of
fortresses on that river. The center of these
latter is Warsaw.
“The Poles are rather of medium stature
and well built. Those in the south are
dark and in the north arc inclined to be
fair. While well endowed by nature, they
are today not remarkable in that energy
which characterizes the northern races of
Europe, and in a sense of unity which has
been the strength of their present rulers,
and the reason is obvious, f • r several years
past the German element has been annu
ally increasing, both in number and in in
fine nee, in Russian Pc land. From remote
antiquity Poland has been celebrated for the
production and export of grain. Since 1875
there has been a remarkable dev; lopment
of manufacturing enterprise. The railroads
of Rus dan Poland have an aggregate length
of 1.300 miles.
“The entire administration cf the prov
ince is under the governor general, residing
at Warsaw. After the insurrection of 1863
; 11 towns with less than 2.000 inhabitants
were deprived of their municipal rights.
The elective municipal councils were prac
tically abolished, and Russian officers nomi
nated in their place, dhe prevalent religion
is Roman Catholic.”
SHOWS EFFECT OF ALCOHOL
ON ACTION OF HUMAN HEART
The Tacoma Tribune, describing a dem
onstration of X-ray motion photography at
one of the theaters in that city, says that
the latest triumph of no tion picture pro
ducers has scored one of its greatest hits.
A living human torso was placed before the
camera and while the crank was turning
each tiny film was picturing the beating
heart and the flowing blood through the
body. The blood is traced from the heart
dear through the entire body until it re
turns to the central pumping plant in veins,
to be sent out again through the arteries.
Moving pictures have been made before
of a beating heart, but none as perfect as
that which has now been heralded by emi
nent scientists as on? of tne wonders of the
age. Physicians and surgeons predict that
| the new X-ray motion photography will
prove of inestimable value in taking note
I of the functions of the organs of the body.
UNCLE SAM IS NOW IN THE
MARINE INSURANCE BUSINESS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—The war risk
bureau of the treasury department of the
United States, which was established on
September 3, has been placed in charge of
W. C. Delaney, an underwriting insurance
expert.
The plan will supplement arrangements
authorized by congress for the admission to
American registry of foreign-built vessels.
Executive orders suspending sections of the
old navigation laws under the registry bill
are to be issued immediately, to open the
way for several big shipping companies to
place their fleets under the American flag.
The bureau will insure American vessels,
their passengers and freight, moneys and
cargoes, whenever it shall appear to the sec
retary of the treasury that American vessels,
shippers or importers in American vessels
are unable in any trade to secure adequate
war risk insurance on reasonable terms.
It will be supplementary to that furnished
by private concerns which claim they have
not sufficient capital to give complete rvai
j risk insurance. The President is authorize.:
I to abolish the bureau whenever he finds the
need for it has ceased.___

HOW WAR TIMES AFFECT
THE GAY CITY OF PARIS
LONDON, Sept. 14. A Paris dispatch
‘ays that tin* most marked feature of the
1 crisis that has struck the gay capital is the
iddcn turning toward religion of the care
less and irreligious portion of the popula
tion.
Thousands of irregular unions between
men and women have been legalized, he
adds. No man called to the front has been
willing to leave behind a mate and chil
dren without first making sure that they
could a.-sume his name, for it is in the
mind of every man that his wife and chil
| dren may yet be proud to bear his name as
a hero of the glorious war of revenge.
Commenting on this, the correspondent
! continues that it is a well known fact that
' in times of mortal danger the human mind
turns inevitably to the great unknown be
yond. The unknown power which he has
| always professed to ridicule and the priests
! whom he has so often mocked are now be
sieged for consolation.
One of the priests who has noticed th:~
| change of heart says that ever since mobil
! izatii n began he has been receiving naive
! requests for absolution from men about to
go to the front.
“You must help 1110,” read one of these
letters. ”1 hardly know my credo any more,
and I have quite forgotten my confiteor, but
that does not matter, does it, now that I
have to go? What I want is to leave
cleanly. You must help me through the
responses.”
In a restaurant the other night, accord
ing to the correspondent, a reservist was'
taking leave of his comrades, a crowd of
reckless young artists. He had been or
«'r red to report at once at one of the most
threatened frontier points. Everybody was
• heeling him up and wishing him a safe
; return, when he broke out:
“Bah. I partook of eommuni n this
morning and 1 don’t care what happens to
me now.”
Instead of the ribald laughter such a
j speech would have excited among such a
[crowd a short time ago, only a murmur of
approval was heard.
The number of maps of the frontier re
gions which are being sold on the streets
is extraordinary, says the correspondent.
The shops, such of them as can. display
little but articles winch might be useful in
the campaign. One of the best known
super-elegant fashion shops on the Boule
vard de la Madeleine is almost entirely de
voted to Red Cross costumes of the most
coquettish design, and alongside are exhib
ited elaborate field medicine chests, dressing
bags and so forth, the whole display oc
cupying several large show windows.
M. Gustave Hervc, in Guerre Sociale.
writes that scores of bad characters, turned
out of the army and other employment
for criminal olfYnses. throng his office, en
treating him to have them sent to the front
! to wipe off the stain of their lives by sacri
1 iicing them. The effect of reading such
stories stimulates every man, and all of
the finest pens in Paris daily produce stir
ring short articles that are read out to
groups in the streets, while scarcely an eye
is dry.
Count de Mun, Capus de Flers, Ilanotaux,
and many others, not the lease of whom
are Clemenceau and Pichen, in the papers
they edit, publish daily columns of splendid
prose, often more like lyric poetry.
A WARDOG OF MYSTERY
I
In Boston harbor recently there was de
| livered to representatives of the Argentine
government the great battleship Rivadavia
—a ship of mystery in some respects. Ar
gentine officers and 1,000 men came after
the great vessel, which was built at Quincy,
Mass. A sister ship, the Moreno, is almost
completed at Camden, N. J.
The ships, while built for Argentine, have
been destined, it has often been said, for
one of the European countries. Argentine
officials have said that attractive offers re
cently have been made for the Rivadavia,
and it is believed in naval circles that she
may soon be a unit in one of the European
fleets.
The Rivadavia is a wonder. She is the
latest word in battleships, and is said to
have no superior. She was designed by Ad
miral Francis T. Bowles, a former officer in
the United States navy, and renowned in
the shipbuilding world. Her displacement is
27,500 tons—sufficient to guarantee a steady
boat and insure a high offensive and de
fensive efficiency. Her length is 5S5 feet,
breadth 98 feet, and normal draft 27 feet
6 inches. The superstructure on the upper
deck is suppressed completely to avoid ob
struction to the arc of fire of the main guns,
as well as to reduce the target surface of
fered the enemy.
The armor protection is 12 inches thick,
200 feet long, extending 4 feet 9 inches
above and 3 feet 4 inches below the normal
water line. This belt is continued 75 feet
more at each end, until it comes abreast
the extreme turrets, but its thickness is re
duced to 10 inches. On top of the main
belt for its whole length of 400 feet there
is 9-ineh armor, and beyond the central re
duct the armor is 6 inches thick forward
and 4 inches thick aft.
Below the water line the ship is pro
tected by means of a double bottom, trans
verse and longitudinal bulkheads dividing
the vessel into watertight compartments,
fitted with electrically-driven centrifugal
pumps, which can be operated even when
the compartments are entirely flooded. Ex
ternally, in time of war. the Pivadavia will
be protected by a steel torpedo net which
will be held in place 30 feet from the ship's
sides.
Fhe will have a dozen 12-iocn 50 caliber
guns, mounted in pairs in six turret-:, ar
ranged so that all can be tired on either
side. These 12 guns are capable of perfor
ating an armor plate of cemented steel of
I t inch thickness at a distune-.* of G.U00
meters—some three and a half miles.
As a secondary battery ,h<i Rivadttvia will
carry 12 G inch 50-caliber guns, and 12
4-inch 50 caliber guns. Beside-: these gun*
the ship will carry many -mall guns. She
has triple screws, and 'ho builders figure
that she will go 10.'Or knot- at ll-kno<
speed. 7.200 knots at 15 knot speer. and
3,000 knots at 22-knni speed.
She will be a great addition to the fleet
she joins, and Washington is looking for
ward with deep interest and a little concern
to her real destination. Tacoma Ledger.
ANTWERP
The defenses of the city of Antwerp ex
tend over an enormous area, and the Ger
mans were compelled to take several lines
of intro nchments before reaching a point
where the attack on the city itself could be
made. Antwerp is on the River Scheldt,
and is one of the great shipping ports of
the world. To give an idea of the impor
tance of the city, it can be stated that its
commerce is the fifth in sire of the ports of
the world, being exceeded in imports and 1
exports oi ly by New York. Hamburg. Lon
He.ii and Liverpool. I\>r this reason it 1^ "
feared that if Germany should come out
of the war triumphant she will hold this
port and all the banks of the Scheldt out
to a point near the Strait of Dover, even 1
taking Calais, the great French port oppo
site England, and only twenty-odd miles dis
tent from the English coast.
