VERMONT GOES
REPUBLICAN
The G. 0. P. Elects Governor in
Green Mountain State by
30,000 Plurality.
;
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
White Kiver Junction, Vt. Sept. -—
The state election in Vermont was
held yesterday, and the republicans
elected George I Vauty Governor by a
plurality of Jb.OOO votes. Notwith
standing this substantial majority the
republicans are somewhat* disappoint
ed with the results. Being presiden
tial year they hoped for a much more
sweeping victory. It is stated that
this is the smallest majority ever given
a republican candidate for governor
in a presidential year.
Big Crop of Cabbage
Nome—Away on the Kruzgamepa
river, under the Sawtooth foothills, in
the Kougerok district, where the knifc
edged biting winter wind howls up
the valley, and the thermometer, fro
zen solid for many months of the year,
fails to register, is the “Garden of
Eden” of the Seward peninsula. From
there Nome and the adjoining camps
expect to get a steady supply of vege
table market produce.
Mike Farrell, one of the old Kouge
rok pioneers, first located this spot.
During one of his prospecting trips he :
discovered this district and was agree
ably surprised to find a number of hot
springs in the vicinity.
Farrell decided to take up a section
of land there, and now a company is
engaged in raising large and juicy j
vegetables, which command a high]
price anywhere in Alaska.
A. M. Roberts is head gardener. In
a recent visit to Nome he announced
his intention of keeping the market
regularly supplied with fresh vege
tables.
A few days ago several prominent j
business men left for the Kruzgamepa
hot springs, and returned with re-1
markable stories of the fertility of the
soil around the springs. They state
that Farmer Roberts has many acres
of land under cultivation. Several
photographs were taken, one of which
shows -10,000 head of cabbage, equal to
anv raised in California or Washing
ton. The warmth of the springs keeps
the snow away during the winter and
fruit trees planted last year are thriv
ing well.
The company intends to build a light
railroad from the springs to the Sew
ard peninsula line, near Lane's land
ing, a distance of six miles, for the
convenience of those who desire to
spend their vacation at the springs
and the transporting of vegetables to
the Nome market.—P.-I.

CHOICE MADE
AT PRIMARIES

Continents Once Joined
Special to Tiie Daily Gateway.
Seattle—For the first time in history
the proof of the fact that Siberia and
Alaska were once joined along the
Aleutian chain will be on exhibit at
the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition
at Seattle next year. This fact, al
though surmised for a long time, has
only been scientifically established in
the past two years.
It was in 1900 that E. M. Kindle and
J. M. Barnett, of the United States
geological survey, visited the valley of
the Yukon. In the course of their
search they discovered several speci
mens of fossil invertebrates which do
not exist in any other portion of the j
continent of America, but which do ex
ist in Siberia. This does point con
clusively to a former junction of the
two continents.
According to the recently issued re
port of these scientists, it was not
known before that these fossil which
they discovered, existed on any portion
of the continent of America.
A number of the best of these relics
of former times, which are to be ex
hibited at the 1909 Exposition in Seat
tle were dug from the mud at the hot-!
tom of a river bed by the two scientists
with the greatest difficulty and labor, i

BOAT CAPSIZED
IN HEAVY GALE
Party of Tourists Caught Off
Maine Coast in Storm and
Seven Are Drowned,
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Deer Island, Maine, Sept. 2—Seven
tourists were drowned near here yes
terday. A party of society tourists
from Washington and Baltimore were
out in a sloop cruising about when a
sudden squall came up making it dif
ficult to manage a boat. The wind
caught her unprepared for the storm,
and capsized her before those manag
ing the sails could tack about and
save themselves.
Strike Some Cuttings
A clerical correspondent of the
Church Family Newspaper vouches for
the following: A distinguished Amer
ican bishop, a man of tine physique,
preached a very powerful sermon in an
ancient parish church in the Midlands!
hist Sunday morning. One of the feat
ures of this church is an old beadle
who is noted for the quaintness of his
sayings and the trim appearance of his
garden. After the morning service
the vicar said:
“Well, what did you think of the
bishop from across the water?”
“Ah, sir,” was the beadle’s reply,
“one of the best sermons ever preach
ed in this church. He is a grand ’nn;
pity we can’t strike some cuttings
from him before he goes back to
America.”—The Sun.
New Bank Notes
The department of engraving and
printing at Washington has turned out
the new notes authorized by the cur
rency act of the last congress. The
notes are similar to the old United
States bank notes, with one exception.
Where the inscription “Secured by
bonds of the United States” appears on
the old notes, the legend appears on
the new: “Secured by bouds of the
United States and other securities.

DISAPPOINTED
Heavy Rains Spoil Bi# Demonstra
tion Planned by City for
Reception of Fleet.
By Cable to T'io Dally Gateway.
Melbourne, Sepc. il—The steady
downpour of rain, which has been of
constant duration since the arrival
at this port of the American fleet of
battleships, has seriously inter
fered with the elaborate prepara
tions for the entertainment by the city
of the officers and crew of the fleet.
Much of the big celebration will have
to oe foregone unless there is a change
for the better in the weather.
Immigration Falls off
Washington—A decided falling off
in the immigration from all countries
to the United States for the month of
July last is shown by figures compiled
by the bureau of immigration and nat
uralization. The total immigration to
the United States for the period men
tioned decreased 73 per cent.
