LOOTERS STRIP THE
S. S. SANTA CLARA
Set Fire and Destroy the Wreck to
Conceal Thefts of Articles Be
ing Peddled in Streets.
MARSHFIELD, Ore., Nov. 12.—
Looters stripped the wreck of the
steamer Santa Clara of everything of
value which could be moved and then
set fire to the wreck in the attempt
to hide the fact that she had been
looted. When the fire reached the
steamer’s fuel oil tanks they explod
ed with a terrific noise, scattering
the fire for some Stance surround
jing the wreck.
The policy have arrested a number
of persons who have been attempting
to dispose of articles taken from the
wreck. Looted silverware and rugs
from the wreck were being peddled
in the streets of the city.
The bodies of all the missing pas
sengers and crew drowned when the
steamer was wrecked have not been
recovered and it is believed that some
of them were still in the vessel and
that all hope of recovering them has
been lost.

Increased Output of Fairbanks Mines

—
FAIRBANKS, Nov. 12.—The out
put of Fairbanks district for the past
summer’s operations amounted to
$3,611,000 according to figures taken
from the official records. The entire
amount cannot be rightfully credited
to the Fairbanks section as the out
put of scores of smaller camps finds
its way to this city.
The increased output has had a no
ticeably beneficial effect upoh the
business interests of the districts and
merchants report that conditions are
better now that for several seasons.
The development of the Tolovana
camp, which draws from the whole
sale stocks of Fairbanks, has helped
business in all lines and promises a
very busy winter for the freighters of
Fairbanks as many of the operators
failed to land their season’s supplies
in the new camp before the close of
navigation.
ALARM SYSTEM SOON
TO BE INSTALLED.
At a special meeting of the Fire
department last night, Chief Finical
reported that he was in receipt of a
letter from New York stating that;
the bells for the fire alarm system;
now being installed by the depart- j
ment, had been shipped and are to be
expected here at an early date.
The system will be a great im
provement over our present one, and
the fire boys are to be congratulated
on their activity in getting funds to
but it. It cost $275.00, of which
amount about $135 was raised at the
last Fireman’s dance, the success of
which was due in a large measure
to the kind co-operation of the La
dies’ Civic League, who deserve the
thanks of all’ our citizens.
Sweden Short of Foodstuffs.
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 12.—The Swe
dish government has issued an ordeJr
prohibiting the exportation of butter
making the embargo on exportation
of foodstuffs complete. ' Sweden has
been prosperous as a result of the
war’s activities but the German deal
ers have drained the country of the
products of the soil and a serious
shortage of food is now being felt.
Owing to the shortage of butter in
Germany dealers have been offering
80 cents per pound but the govern
ment has now stopped the exporta
tion of that product.

Alaska Have Permitted Repub
licans to Get the Plums.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—The
charges of Edward Wade, a former
clerk in Governor Strong’s office in

governor for keeping a Republican
as his secretary, have reached Wash
ington and are being given wide pub
licity. It is also charged that Re

istration.

admitted that the six Alaskan presi
dential postoffices have not been
turned over to the Democrats because
there were no Democratic applicants
for the positions.
Wade is a former newspaper man
and is still connected with a news
paper published in Georgia, although
he has been living in California for
some time. He charges that the
Democratic leaders have not attempt
ed to build up the party in the terri
tory and is demanding a house clean
ing of the Republican officeholders in
Alaska.
