The Famous Raider Moewe
The German auxiliary cruiser Moewe re
turned to the home port of the German
navy on March 22, according to a Berlin
dispatch, front her second successful raid
on enemy commerce. The raider reports the
capture of twenty-two steamships and five
sailing ships of the enemy, aggregating
123,100 tons. The operations of the Moewe
on this cruise expanded over a period of j
several months. Among the vessels cap
tured were eight armed ships, five of which
were in the service of the admiralty.
Eleven Brothers Perish in One Disaster
In one of the recent disasters to Zeppelins
which visited England eleven brothers were
burned to death. A London dispatch says
that an aged man who recently arrived from
Germany told how he brought up a family
of eleven sons, every one of whom entered
the air service.
Sister of Field Marshal French Killed
Word recently reached London of the death
of Mrs. Harley, sister of Field Marshal Sir
John French, commander in chief of the
home forces. Mrs. Harley's death was the
result of wounds received at Monastir,
when a shell burst near the ambulance of
which she was in charge near the Serbian
front.
"Wickedest City” Cleansed by War
Port Said, Egypt, which at the time the
war broke out held the reputation, as indeed
it had held it from time immemorial, of be
ing the wickedest city on the globe, is now
a model city. Into this port the flotsam
and ietsam of the underworld drifted from
all parts of the universe. Here every type
of vice imaginable was represented. But to
day, after thirty months of military rule,
the '"sinkhole of the East” is well-nigh a
model city, the iron hand of the army hav
ing cleaned it up as no other power could
have done. That street of international
notoriety, Rue Babel, so named because of
the many languages spoken by its inhabit
ants. has ceased to thrive as the leader in
the world's iniquity. Flogging is one of
the most effective punishments used to meet
the situation in Port Said, and it is no
nurserv chastisement that is meted out by
the military authorities.

Hurja Is Sulzer’s Secretary
Emil Edward Hurja, the former Fair
banks newspaper man, who has been attend
ing the session of the legislature at Juneau
in the interest of various newspapers, has
been appointed secretary to Delegate Sul
zer, and left for Washington with the dele
gate on March 20. Mrs. Sulzer remains in
Juneau, as her little son is very ill.
Patents Farthest North Claim
Uncle Sam has granted a patent on the
farthest north coal mine on the North
American continent, according to the Ju
neau Empire, which says that the official
notice of the grant of the patent was re
ceived there on March 16. The mine is on
the shore of the Arctic ocean, at a point
north of Point Hope, called Corwin Bluff.
It is 160 miles north of the Arctic circle,
and is one of the earliest developed coal
deposits in Alaska. It was first utilized in
1849, and later, when the whalers found
profitable trips along the north coast of the
territory, they alwmys stopped there for
coal. The mine is accessible from the shore
because the coal vein outcrops on the side
of the bluff. The coal was mined exten
sively during the Nome stampede in 1899
and 1900 and taken to Nome on barges. The
United States revenue cutters Corwin and
Thetis often coaled there. The patent was
issued on the FI. L. West coal claim to
Charles McIntosh, the present owner of the
mine.
Who Discovered Nome Gold?
A correspondent who wishes to be known
only by the initials C. G. denies that Jafet
Lindeberg and Erik Lindblom were the first
discoverers of gold at Nome, says the Ju
neau Dispatch. He saw the story some
time ago in a newspaper the story of a
fight which occurred in San Francisco over
an alleged bill due by Mrs. Lindblom. In
this story Lindblom was given the credit
for discovering Nome, and “C. G." makes
the following reply: “Reading your arti
cles referring to Lindeberg and Lindblom as
the discoverers of the Nome gold, I can in- |
form you that neither Lindeberg nor Lind- j
blom w’as the first discoverer of Nome's |
gold, and that neither of them had ever j
prospected for mineral in Alaska previous
to the Nome camp being organized by Gabe
Price, who took out the first *10,000 from
No. 8 Anvil creek in 1899 and made rock
ers for Lindeberg, Linrilbom and others in
1898 and showed them how to use them.
They rocked out *1,800 from September 15
to the freeze-up. The Mayor Wood com
pany of Seattle was formed seven years
previously to Nome being organized, by
the writer of this article, who is the first
white man to find gold at Nome, but came
out at the wrong end of the horn. The
writer was the instigator of Holtberg and
Blake, the finders of gold on Anvil creek
in 1898; that is not to say these men were
the first to find gold at Nome, for the
writer of this took a party of seventeen pros
pectors in June, 1898, and obtained good
prospects. Anyone who wishes to know
the true and long history of the camp can
inquire of C. G.”

Rex Beach and Miss Alaska
The Fairbanks News-Miner published a
splendid special edition in honor of the fif
tieth anniversary of the purchase of Alaska,
and among the greetings received from
prominent people on that occasion was one
from Rex Beach, which was as follows: "A
word of greeting for the semi-centennial ob
servance of Alaska’s purchase is l:ke a
letter of congratulation to a woman on
her 50th birthday an that it may gratify
no one so much as the writer. But I claim
the privilege of an early suitor, in whose
heart there remains an abiding tenderness
and loyalty. Dear Miss Alaska! I was only
one of her many suitors; still she must re
member me, for I am the young fellow who
was so hell-bent on winning her. I tun
the fellow who stood on the- upper deck
of the ‘Portus B. Weare’ with a brown
derby, a leather coat and a brand-new six
shooter. She promptly cured me of the
six-shooter habit, and I mixed a batch of
fjiscuits in the hat the day after I went
ashore. Alaska and I were good friends for
(1 while, and she flirted outrageously with
me. But even so, I was a better man for
having known her, and that is more than
I can say for some warmer, sunnier coun
tries I have courted. There were a good
many of us on that first rush of '97, and
although we were tenderfeet then. I dare say
we may now be considered old-timers. By
and large, they were the finest lot of men
I ever saw—strong, clean and courageous, i
They worked hard and they played hard;
they made Alaska what she is today. It
was a privilege to know them; it is a pleas
ure to send them a word of greeting.”

Koyuker's Estate to Escheat
Several years ago Fritz Bloch, an old
timer of the Interior, was found dead on
the trail in the Koyukuk. says the Fairbanks
News-Miner. He left no estate here, but
had approximately $18,000 in cash in a bank
in San Francisco. The public administrator
of the state of California took charge, of it
and is now trying to turn the funds over
to the state, claiming that as there were
no heirs it escheats to the state. McGowan
& Clark, attorneys for the special adminis
trator in Alaska, believe that the funds
should go to the territory of Alaska, and
are now making a fight before the courts
in California, trying to compel the adminis
trator there to give the money to the terri
torial treasurer of Alaska. Thomas A. Mc
j Gowan is taking the matter up with the
I attorney general at- Juneau, and it is more
j than likely that Mr. Grigsby will take a
i hand in trying to save these funds for
j Alaska, where it was made, instead of al
lowing it to go to California.
Military Companies on Coast
According to a Juneau dispatch of April
2 preparations are being made to organize
all men of Gastineau channel having had
military experience into military companies,
with the object of preparing and offering
to help as far as possible in case of war,
and to render the men the more ready to
go to the front in case of war. Old men,
not fit for military service, will render serv
ice to the government.
Henry Must Pay Penalty
After being out a little more than two
and one-half hours, the jury which sat on
the second trial of the case of the Unite ,
States vs. George Hinton Henry, in the dis
trict court at Fairbanks, the defendant in
which proceedings was charged with libel,
returned a verdict of guilty. The verdict
recommended the defendant to the clemency
of the court. The first trial of Henry on
the charge took place in the commissioner's
court. At that time the defendant was
found guilty by a jury and sentenced to
serve four months in jail by Commissioner
Reed Heilig. He appealed the case to the
upper court and it was tried the first time
ami the jury disagreed. The complaining
witness was N. R. King. He charged that
the defendant libeled him when he printed
matter in his paper, the Free Press, to the
effect that he, King, had been guilty of
stealing the Free Press from the doorways
of subscribers. Under the law the defend
ant can be sentenced by the court to pay a
tine of $500 or to serve a year in jail.
O
Rampart Is a Dry Town
Rampart is now a dry town, or such in
effect was the meaning of the words ad
dressed to the court yesterday morning at
its opening session by Attorney John A.
Clark, says the Fairbanks Citizen of April 2,
Mr. Clark stated that he was in receipt of
a wire from Julius Rahmsdorf of Rampart
which stated that Mr. Rahmsdorf closed
his saloon there on March 28. It was Rahms
dorf’s license which was held up by the
court at the opening of the term for the j
reason that there were petitions both for ,
and against its being granted. At that time i
it was decided that an enumerator should
be appointed to see how the majority of the
citizens of Rampart felt about the further
licensing of a saloon there. Mr. Clark
stated, in telling the court of the wire, that
Rahmsdorf had not been able to secure the
necessary signatures, on account of the fact
that a number of the people who had signed
the petition before were out in the hills.
To Amend Juvenile Court Law
Senator Gaustad has introduced a bill in
the territorial legislature which proposes an
amendment to Section 2, Chapter 32, of the
Alaska Session Laws for the year 1913, rela
tive to the establishment of juvenile courts,
and providing for the care of dependent chil
dren, etc. The law now provides that ju
nile judges shall have power to commit to
a reform school, orphan asylum or other
public or charitable institution “any white
child under 16 years.” Senator Gaustad's
bill seeks to amend by eliminating the words
“white” and "sixteen,” thus leaving the
statute to read that “any child under 17
years of age, for an indeterminate period
not exceeding the time such child shall
have arrived at the age of 21 years,” may
be committed.

SUIT AGAINST COMMISSIONER
BY INNOKO MINING MAN
FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT
C. L. Baker of Ophir, through Attorneys
McGowan & Clark and Leroy Tozier, filed a
suit in the district court ct Fairbanks on
March 23 against United States Commis
sioner W. A. Vinal of Ophir, asking the sum
of $10,000 as damages for having been im
prisoned for five days without cause. The
complaint states that Baker, who is an In
noko mining man, was arrested in Novem
ber, 1910, and that he was detained by the
defendant in the proceedings for the space
of five days without cause and without au
thority.
The complaint in the proceedings is short,
and gives none of the details beyond those
absolutely necessary toward instituting the
suit. Attorney Tozier. however, told the
newspaper men that the arrest of Baker was
on the charge of trespass upon ground in
which Baker had an interest.
Baker was duly tried before Commis
sioner Vinal on the charge, according to the
statement of Mr. Tozier, and was fined the
sum of $2’> when found guilty. He was
then given permission by the commissioner
to appeal the case, and tried to secure the
necessary appeal bond, but was unable to
do so. He then returned to the commis
sioner and was told that he must- either
pay his fine or be imprisoned for twelve
and one-half days at the rate of $2 per
day until the fine was served out.
Baker, says Mr. Tozier, elected to go to
jail rather than pay the fine. Prior to that
time he had been refused the use of the
commissioner's records to show that he had
a right to be on the ground and that he
was not a trespasser, said the attorney. But
after he had been in the custody of the mar
shal for a period of five days Commissioner
Vinal ordered Baker’s release, stating, ac
cording to Mr. Tozier, that he thought that
he had made a mistake and was willing to
remit the fine.
Baker refused to agree to this, insisting
on serving out his time, but Commissioner
Vinal would not allow him to do so. He
was, however, released from custody. Ac
cording to Mr. Tozier's statement no charge
was ever made against the government for
Baker’s trial or incarceration by Commis
sioner Vinal.
Baker arrived in Fairbanks a few days
prior to the filing of the suit, and left for
home on March 22.
Commissioner Vinal’s Version
The following news item relating to the
case was published in The Pioneer of De
cember 23 last, the story being substantially
as told by Commissioner Vinal himself, who
was then on a visit to Iditarod:
“C. L. Baker of Ophir was found guilty
of trespass in Commissioner Vinal's court
at Ophir on November 25 last, and was fined
$13. The convicted man refused to pay
his fine and demanded that he be allowed
to serve out the penalty in jail.
“There is no jail at Ophir, and it was
necessary while Baker was in custody pend
ing trial to keep him at the roadhouse, and
he evidently found his quarters comfort
able. The only thing for the commissioner
to do was to take him to Iditarod and have
him confined in the federal jail to serve out
his sentence, or to suspend the sentence. By
the time the prisoner had been brought to
this city his time would have expired, al
most, and Commissioner Vinal, rather than
incur the expense for the government, sus
pended the sentence, incidentally giving him
some friendly advice.
“Baker was found guilty of trespass on
mining ground at the mouth of Ganes creek
claimed by John Rieck. This is the ground
that has been the subject of much comment
recently. For years efforts have been made
to locate pay on lower Ganes creek, but
without success until Rieck came along and
-estaked the claim. He commenced develop
ment work and soon uncovered pay, which
created a great deal of interest in that sec
tion. Baker claimed the ground on which
Rieck had staked. The controversy resulted
in the arrest of Baker for trespass and his
conviction and the infliction of the nominal
penalty.”
The Ground in Controversy
The ground over which the controversy
arose has been undergoing a thorough pros
pecting during the past winter, ft is under
stood to be under option to Riley & Aitken, j
the Iditarod operators, who have had a
power drill installed and extensive work
accomplished. It is believed to be the in- j
; tention to install a dredge if the ground i
; warrants it.

WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?
It is a curious fact that although evi
dence of electricity in a primitive way was
observed as long ugo as the sixth century,
B. C.. and its manifestation has become one
of the greatest known factors in our modern
civilization, no one knows just what it is.
At different times it has been thought to
be a form of matter, a thin, weightless
fluid, a kind of force, a variety of motion
and a disturbance in the ether—which is
supposed to fill ail space, including pores in
most solid metals. Electricity is not some
thing created by man. He has simply dis
covered ways of turning its manifestations
to practical account.
From the time that Thales observed, cen
turies before the Christian era, that amber,
after being rubbed by silk, had the prop
erty of attracting light bodies like bits of
paper, discoveries of electric phenomena
were made from time to time, but they were
detached from a realization of the great pos
sibilities brought to light in recent years.
Electricity becomes evident when rendered
active by some molecular disturbance, such
as friction, rupture or chemical action. Sci
entists regard it today as neither energy nor
matter.
It has been discovered that electricity is
a self-existent property, by which we are
everywhere surrounded, and human as well
as inanimate bodies can be charged with it.
From this we can understand that many
more remarkable discoveries of its applica
tii-n wi:l tie made. —Rocky Mountain News.
