lecture.

the theatre, admission will be by iu
vitation, each membpr of the club

to be given to their friends.
MILLIONS COMING
AFTERTHE WAR
LABORERS FROM ALL EUROPE
Will Come to United t»tate* to Seek
Employment Denied them by Fall
ing Oft' of Industrie* in Their Na
tive Coentries.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind,. May 15.—
A. Caiuinetti, commission general of
immigration, in an address here Sat-;
urday stated that the United States
was facing a difficult problem in the
matter of European immigration. He
said that, following the war, there
would be millions of immigrants from
all parts of Europe swarming to the
United States, looking for the em
ployment denied them by the terrible
falling off of industries in their na
tive countries, and that the placing of
these immigrants so that they would
have the minimum of effect upon na
tive labor was a problem of the great
est magnitude and must be speedily
met.
CHAIRMAN EDES MAKES
ANSWER TO MAYOR MYERS
That the Engineering Commission'
is here to build a railroad for the
government in the best manner pos
sible and that the Commission will
use the most favorable methods and
ways to make the construction work
as successful and economical as it
can be done is the gist of a letter re
ceived by Mayor Myers from Chair
man Edes of the Commission in a
reply to the request of the Chamber
of Commerce and the mayor of this
place that Seward be used as a base
for all railroad work between this city
and Mile One Hundred.
Mr. Edes stated to this paper be
fore he went outside that the work
between Seward and Anchorage would
be done in the manner the Commis
sion believed to be dictated by the
desire to work successfully and in the
letter to the mayor now he points out
again that the commission has not
been established for the purpose of
aiding iny community above another
but to build a railroad, and that a
route for the sending of supplies was
provided by Turnagain Arm and that
it would probably be found more con
venient than a route over the Alaska
Northern.—Gateway.

to Muke Port Moller with Cannery

nak Harbor.
A letter from Deputy Marshal Paul
Buckley, at Unalaska, to Marshal
Breuneman, states that the steamer

bor there May 1, in a badly crippled
condition.
The Thompson was bound for Port
Moller with cannery supplies, when
she was caught in the ice in Bering
sea. and badly crushed. Mr. Buckley
states that it was a wonder she was
able to make port in her damaged con
dition. The steamer is being unload
ed, and a survey will be made to de
termine the extent Of her damages,
and such temporary repairs as are
necessary to permit the vessel to
complete her voyage will be made.
The Russian steamer, the Ctarpo
vbt is also reported to be in the har
bor. She is carrying a cargo of gun
cotton and other explosives and muni
tions for the Russian government.
Marshal Buckley also reports that
the schooner Lottie, Captain Swan
son, went ashore at Umnak Harbor,
on Umnak Island, the first island
west of Uunalaska. on April 2. The
Russian priest at Unalaska and a
number of natives were aboard the
vessel, but were taken off safely. The
schooner was not seriously damaged,
and it was expected that the cutter
linalga. which is expected to reach
Unalaska May 3, would be able to
pull her oft the beach.
The cannery at Makushin Bay, Un
alaska Island, is reported to be about
completed, and will be ready to can
