RUBY GRAND JURY
MAKES FINAL REPORT
The report of the grand jury at the Ruby
term of the district court was submitted to
Judge Fuller on August 22. and stated. ,
among other things, that 100 witnesses had
been examined, and that ten true bills and
one not true bill had been returned, and
eight cases examined in which no indict
ment had been returned.
The jury congratulated the school board
on the general conditions and commended
the teacher. It also recommended that a
swinging bell be furnished.
It was recommended that Indian schools
be established at Louden and Koyukuk.
Commending the United States commis
sioner for efficiency, the report recommends ,
that that official be placed under salary
instead of the fee system, and that the offi- j
rial devote his entire time to his duties.
The jury highly commends the district
attorney’s office, and recommends that a
powerful gasoline launch and a fast dog
team be provided for the office of A. E. j
Light, special agent of hte interior depart
ment. Certain recommendations are made
for the marshal’s office anil jail, and the
greater portion of the balance of the report
is devoted to a discussion of “Transporta
tion Facilities,’’ under which heading road
matters and the railroad situation are dis
cussed. A description of Ruby as “the geo
graphical center of Alaska’’ is included, and
Ruby is urged the terminal for the gov
ernment railroad.
Among other things recommended to •
Judge Fuller are that a special fund be ;
provided to be used in cases similar to the '
one of last spring, when the body of a '
trapper who died alone on the Koyukuk
was a'lowed to lie for months without burial
because no one had authority to expend
money fur the purpose; recommending that
six secret service men be appointed for this
judicial district to suppress crime; suggest
ing that as “the lives and health of the
white people are of at least as much con
cern as that of the natives, a merical of
ficer be stationed at Ruby until other physi
cians arrive to live amongst us”; recom
mending that the telegraph station at Me
lozi be removed to Ruby; recommending a
mail service for Long and Poorman creeks, 1
and that a postoftice be established at Poor- ■
man. The report concludes with thanks
to the court and attaches.
COMPETITION IS KEEN
FOR WOOD CONTRACTS
Last Tuesday was the last day for sub
mission of bids to supply the new power
plant of the Yukon Gold Company with
wood for fuel, and it is reported that the
bids were numerous and the competition
keen. No intimation has been given as
yet as to who the successful bidders are.
The Yukon Gold Company uses an enor
mous amount of fuel each year, and the
money distributed through this channel is
one of the big factors in the camp. The
work of cutting and hauling the fuel gives
employment to a large number of men
through the dull winter season. Hereto
fore the wood has been hauled by sled to
the works of the company, but this year
it will be hauled to the Iditarod river and
tloated down stream to the new power
house of the company, on the upper Idita
rod river, thus materially reducing the labor
required, and consequently the cost to the
company.
It is estimated that the company uses in
the neighborhood of eight thousand cords
of wood per annum, and as this costs
somewhere around S15 per cord, it will be
seen that it involves the expenditure of
an enormous sum. It is believed that a
material reduction in cost will be effected
by the delivery of the fuel at the new loca
tion.
CRUISER MONMOUTH

IDITIBOD MAN
PUT ON TICKET
News was received in this city on Tues
day last that A. E. Malthy of lditarod
attorney, had been nominated by the non
partisan convention at Fairbanks to repre
sent this district on the ticket as a candi
date for the territorial legislature.
It was not generally known that Mr.
Maltby was an aspirant for the honor, but
it appears that the Fairbanks people were
desirous of having this section represented,
and learned that he was willing that his
name be used. Mr. Maltby is quite well
known in Fairbanks, where he resided for
some years, and was at one time deputy
clerk of the district court.
The convention, according to the tele
gram received, indorsed the nomination of
James Wickersham for delegate in congress
and nominated the following legislative
ticket:
For Senator—O. P. Gaustad.
For Representatives—E. B. Collins, Dan
Driscoll, A. E. Maltby and C. K. Snow.
Mr. Gaustad, who was nominated for
senator, is not widely known here. E. B.
Collins and Dan Driscoll were members of
the First territorial house of representatives,
and C. K. Snow is a resident of Ruby.
WHAT EUROPE PAYS
ITS FIGHTING MEN
The Russian soldier is the poorest paid
of any in the world. A private in the ranks
of the army of the czar gets S3.78 a year,
compared to $180 to $300 the United States
pays its men of the ranks. England pays
its privates $8(1.15 a year; France, $20.40;
Germany, $18.80; Austria, $8.12. Remem
ber, these figures are for a whole year,
and represent the total amount of cash
paid the fighting men in that period.
A Russian major general gets only $702
a year, or about as much as the United
States pays its sergeant majors, the high
est non-commissioned rank. Our major
generals get $S,000 a year. The other
countries are much more generous with
their officers of higher rank, and pay a
minimum of about half the United States
standard.
A better example of the Russian contrast
is shown in what is paid an officer holding
the title of general over there. A Russian
general gets $1,272. The United States
pays its second lieutenants, young fellows
just out of West Point, $1,700 a year.
GERMAN VICTORY MEANS
FIGHT WITH UNITED STATES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—According to
the Washington Post, in an editorial pub
lisehd yesterday, high officials of the United
States and Great Britain are of the opinion
that should Germany win in her present
war with the allies, she will become in
volved in a war with the United States
within the next ten years over the Monroe
doctrine. They declare that for this reason
this country should not refuse to make
loans to the allies.

OTTO A. CASE BACK
FROM HIS ALASKA TRIP
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Aug. 14)
Otto A. Case, secretary of the Seattle
Commercial Club, returned on the steamship
Admiral Evans, with Mrs. Case and his
mother, from a sightseeing tour of the
Alaska coast. Mr. Case went as far as
Knik, on Cook irdet.
“The thing that is interesting Alaskans
more than anything else, I find,” said Mr.
Case, “is the coal situation. The necessity
for the immediate opening of Alaska coal
is brought home to the Northerners by the
present danger of the cutting off of the
British Columbia supply, on which so large
a part of the territory depends. On my
return a cablegram from the Cordova Cham
ber of Commerce was handed me, saying:
“We are writing the President and congress
demanding the opening of Alaska coal fields.
On account of war conditions the British
Columbia supply is liable to be cut off any
day. Assist by wiring your friends in con
gress.’
“I believe this is a matter in which the
people of Seattle may well take a lively in
terest. Imperatively, something must soon
be done.
“I believe that it would be a fine thing
to have an excursion next summer of the
actual heads of the business houses here
which handle the Alaska trade. I found
that the business men along the coast were
anxious to meet the heads of the houses.”
JEWS PLOT AGAINST
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
MOSCOW. Aug. 18.—The police have
unearthed a big plot of the Jews against
the Russian government. A raid was made
by the police upon the wealthy Jewish
quarters, where they discovered the de
tailed plans for arousing a million Russian
Jews against the czar and to give their aid
to Austrians and Germans in the present
war. The police seized the documentary
evidence of the plot and placed many Jews
under arrest. The Russian people are en
raged and it is feared that they will attack
the Jewish portion of the city and wreak
vengeance upon them.
STEAMSHIP PRINCE ALBERT
IS A TOTAL WRECK
VICTORIA. B. C., Aug. 19.—The Grand
Trunk steamship Prince Albert, bound for
Prince Rupert, on its way south from Ju
neau, was totally wrecked in the Chatham
straits today. The meager reports received
state that the ship struck an uncharted
rock and was so badly damaged that she
sank within a short time.
A brief message was received later stating
that all the passengers and crew of the
Prince Albert are safe. Whether rescued
by another steamer or whether they reached
shore by the ship’s boats was not stated.
NEWSPAPER DIFFICULTIES
IN FRENCH CAPITAL
PARIS, Aug. 19.—James Gordon Ben
nett, the eccentric owner of the New York
Herald, and who also publishes a Paris
edition of that paper, is said to be doing
reportorial work as a result of the enlist
ment of most of the reporters, editors and
other newspaper men. It is said that nearly
all of the big newspaper plants of Paris
are depleted as a result of the war. and
are with difficulty getting out their edi
tions.

WICKERSHAM’S ANNOUNCEMENT AND PLATFORM
To the People of Alaska:
I shall be a candidate for re-election as delegate from Alaska at the
November election. This announcement is made upon the request of many people
in Alaska, and because my duties as your representative in congress prevent me
from coming home at an early date to make it in person.
In case of my election in November it will be my purpose to work for con
gressional enactment:
1. In support of the progressive Alaskan policy declared by Presioent
Wilson in his message to congress, December 2. 1913.
2. To continue appropriations in aid of government-owned and operated
railroads in Alaska.
3. To secure better administrative control over railroad and steamship
lines in Alaska, a reduction of the present confiscatory rates, and permanent dis
solution of the monopoly which has so long controlled transportation facilities in
Alaska in violation of the Sherman act.
4. To secure an additional appropriation of $450,000 for the immediate
completion of the capitol building at Juneau, and other appropriations for other
needed public buildings in Alaska.
5. To secure the construction of a safe and suitable harbor at Nome, and
the improvement of Dry strait.
6. To secure the passage of a fair coal-leasing bill, so the mines may be
immediately opened for development without monopoly.
7. To secure appropriations for aids to navigation, and for roads, trails
and bridges.
8. To protect our fisheries from destruction and monopoly, and to compel
them to pay their just proportion for the support of Alaskan government.
9. To create the commission form of control in the administration of na
tional affairs in Alaska, so that our public lands, fisheries, coal mines, forests,
roads, game, Indians, and educational, charitable and penal institutions may be
managed in Alaska by a single commission headed by Alaskans.
10. To procure the reservation of sections 16 and 36 in each township of
public lands surveyed, for the support of common schools in the Territory; lor a
law granting a second homestead to those who have none in Alaska; for the estab
lishment of an agricultural college in the Tanana valley; for the survey of all
homesteads on unsurveyed lands in Alaska at the expense of the United States.
11. To otherwise aid in the general progressive policy of the development
of Alaska along lines approved by her citizens and President Wilson.
In again announcing my candidacy, permit me to call your attention to
the changed conditions which now surround Alaska problems in congress. For
the last four years every effort made by your delegate to secure sympathetic sup
port for progressive laws in aid of the development of Alaska was denied. Alas
kans will long remember the attempt to pass the infamous Beveridge bill for the
creation of an appointive carpet bag legislature for Alaska, under war department
control, and the impudent refusal of George W. Perkins to permit the construc
tion of a competing line of railroad into the Matanuska coal fields and the Tanana
valley. How our ports were closed in restraint of trade by this same transporta
tion trust is told in the recent pleas of “guilty” in the United States court at
Juneau. They are as powerful in Washington as in Alaska, and in both places
really had a “free hand in Alaskan matters.”
But a change came when Woodrow Wilson became President. A Western
man with Western ideas and courage to carry them into execution was made sec
retary of the interior, and given a “free hand in Alaskan matters. ’ The door to
monopoly was closed; that to conservation with use by the people without mo
nopoly was thrown wide open, and the rusty wheels of progress were put in
motion.
It was not necessary for the delegate from Alaska to change his position,
his principles or his line of effort to secure sympathy and support. The adminis
tration changed—not the delegate from Alaska. With that change in administra
tion your delegate found himself in company with those who sought progressive
Alaskan legislation. The delegate introduced the Alaska railroad bill in congress
on April 7, 1913, the first day of the special session; on December 2, 1913, Presi
dent Wilson in his first message to the regular session approved it, and thereafter,
with his active support, it became a law. His administration procured other pro
gressive bills to be introduced in aid of the development of Alaska, and those
offered by your delegate have met with friendly support and approval. Today the
enactment of truly progressive laws for the development of Alaska, free from
monopoly, is being personally urged by President Wilson, and occupies first place
in his administrative program.
Alaska and the Pacific coast ought to give him and his Alaskan policy un
stinted support. JAMES WICKERSHAM.

Enterprising Natives
Natives from Nome have just returned '
from the Diomede islands, where they went
on a mining expedition for old ivory and old
implements used in years gone by the
natives. It is said that they were very
successful on this trip. After digging to a
depth of fourteen feet they came upon a
rich find of old implements of the stone age
of the Eskimos, and many pieces of old
ivory, etc. These found a ready sale to the
collectors of rare Eskimo relics, and it is
said the natives cleaned up many hundreds
of dollars by this venture.—Nome Nugget.
Death of a Pioneer
Martin Moran brought to Nome on Aug. !
14 the first account from the Kobuk of the
death of James Gibson, one of Alaska's old
est pioneers, by accidental shooting in July
last. Mr. Gibson, who was a persistent <
prospector, was on his way to the Noatak,
where he intended to prospect some ground. I
When near the head of the Kobuk river he
hurriedly seized his gun to shoot some ducks ;
which were flying over him, and it seems
that the hammer of the gun caught in
some sacks, which caused its discharge,
shooting him through the arm. from the
effects of which he soon bled to death. Mr.
Gibson was 70 years of age, but well pre
served, hard and courageous, and optimistic
as any younger man. He came to Alaska
in 1884 and was well known in Dawson and
Circle City. He was buried on the Moran
homestead, by his old friend Moran, Judge
Southworth and Sackett.
Fisherman Loses His Life
Jasper Peterson was drowned August 19
in Bering sea, while attempting to reach
Nome in his boat from his fishing camp,
situated at (he mouth of the Sinrock river.
Peterson had lived in Nome for the past
fifteen years, and was well known and
highly respected. He had been engaged in
white whale fishing. He formerly conducted
a store on First avenue. Peterson formerly
lived in Astoria, Ore., where he has a
brother.
Rescue of Explorers Problematical
Mr. Shields of the government bureau
of education, who returned to Nome from
the North on August 13, declares that the
attempt which the revenue cutter Bear is
making to rescue the wrecked crew of the
Steffannson steamer Karluk from Wrangel
island is greatly underestimated. It is a life
and death proposition to the twenty-six
men marooned on the island, as they had
on hand only sufficient provisions to tide
them over until the first day of August with
the closest of reckoning. After that they
would be forced to subsist on the meat
which they could catch. Mr. Shields de
clares that it is only problematical whether
the revenue cutter svill succeed in rescuing
the men, as thus far this season there have
been very few favorable winds such as are
needed to drive the ice out of the region.
It is said that if the Bear succeeds in res
cuing the men it will be the greatest single
task that she has accomplished since the
historical attempt made to reach Point Bar
row in 1S98. Mr. Shields declares that the
trip made by Captain Bartlett over the ice
last spring is likewise underestimated. Few
people are able to realize what hardships
such a trip entails, unless they themselves
have had occasion to travel over the ice.
When Mr. Shields left the Bear she sailed
for Point Hope, and from there will pro
ceed on her attempt to reach Wrangel
island.
Bill Abolishing Reserves
The Pittman bill, providing for the open
ing to entry of the eighty-rod reservations
between water front claims in Alaska passed
the senate on August 19. The bill had the
approval of Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin K. Lane.
Missionary on Her Way Outside
Deaconess Sabine of the Episcopal mis
sion on the lower Yukon, 1,100 miles below
Dawson, came out on Saturday last on her
way to Victoria, B. C., where she will visit
for some time previous to going East, says
the Skagway Alaskan. She has been en
gaged in mission work in the Interior for
the past twenty years under the leadership
of Bishop Rowe, having gone to Anvik in
1894. The Anvik mission, of which Rev.
J. W. Chapman has had charge for twenty
eight years, has about 200 Indians in its
immediate vicinity, and a great many oth
ers within its jurisdiction, along the Sh age
lug slough, at the mouth of the Innoko
river, the entrance to the Idit&rod country.
She says that since she first went into the
country the natives have greatly improved
in every way, and are now an industrious
and contented people, well clothed, well fed,
and living in modern cottages instead of
the dugouts to which they were accustomed
in the early days before the advent of the
missionaries.

TREATIES MUST BE HELD SACRED
We learn from this daring resistance that
treaties are meant to be enforced. Bel
gium would hardly have dared to resist
Germany if she had not trusted to the
treaties in her defense. France had to go
to Belgium's help because the attack was
made against France, not Belgium. But
Great Britain was not attacked. She de
clared war not because she hated Germany,
because she does not, but simply to keep
her plighted faith. Her faith was pledged
to protect Belgium against attack, and she
kept her word. No matter what pride or
! insolence may say, treaties must be held
sacred, and those who break them must
suffer. That big lesson we have been learn
ing, none too easily, on the matter of equal
canal tolls, and we have had the good for
tune to learn it without war. We can imag
ine all Europe united against us on our
claim of special privileges if it had been
worth while to fight, but of our own ac
cord we corrected our hasty error.—New
York Independent.
