ITALY TO BE NEUTRAL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—The Italian embassy to
this country has notified Secretary of State Bryan that
a new cabinet is coming into power in Italy and that L
will maintain the policy of neutrality whatever happens.
It was announced to the state department a lew days
ago that the entry of Italy into Albania was not an act
that could be regarded as hostile to Austria but it was
feared that the opening of hostilities by Turkey would
have forced Italy's hand. It now seems evident, however,
that Turkey has no intention of carrying on war in her
former European territories and that she will confine her
activities entirely to Asia. It is also the opinion in some
quarters that Germany has arranged with the other Bal
kan nations to keep their hands off and that they would
receive some benefits.
GERMAN MINE DID IT
BERLIN, Nov. G.—It was officially announced this
morning that the German cruiser Yorck was sunk by a
German mine and not by a mine laid by the enemy. When
she went down she carried -G6 men to their doom and the
fact will be investigated as criminal carelessness must
have been shown. The reult of the naval battle off Chile
has been received with great rejoicing as it is taken as an
indication of German superiority in sea fighting. It is as
sumed that the guns of the German ships were superior
to the British guns and that they were better served in
spite of the fact that the British have been fighting on the
ocean for centuries. That British shipping will now suf
fer severely in the Pacific is also assumed since the Ger
man cruisers are free and uninjured.
SOME MORE FACTS ABOUT
THE ALASKA ELECTION
It is evident that Sulzer has beaten
O’Connor for senator in the First divi
sion. O’Connor has been mayor of
Douglas and is very popular but Sul
zer carried it because the was the re
gular democratic candidate. Charley
Jones, a member of the first' legisla
ture. is apparently re-elected by
Nome. James Daly is also probably
elected. Daly is a brother of the late
A. J. Daly, national committeeman
for Alaska, and was a candidate of
the regular democrats for the United
States marshalship in the Second divi
sion but got turned down. TTie former
United States marshal for that divi
sion. T. C. Dowell, is probably de
feated for the house. Although the
First division has probably given the
democratic candidate for senator a
majority it has elected the four non
partisan candidates for the house,
judging by the returns when only
400 or 500 votes were left to be
counted
Captain McMullen will go to Cor
dova on the Dirigo but will leave
her there and bring back the Dora to
put her on the western run. He will
wait at Cordova for the Mariposa
which is bringing up coal for the Dora.

HUNTING WITH ANOTHER
WHEN FRIEND’S GUN
WENT OFF
SANAK, Alaska, Nov. 4.—The sym
pathy of this entire community has
gone out to Andrew Grosvold, of Sand
Point, in the double bereavenfbnt that
he sustained within a month. On
September 8th, his wife, Mrs. Lena
Grosvold, passed away after a pain
ful illness of five months duration and
her body was brought here for inter
ment in the Greek Catholic cemetery.
Two weeks after Mr. Grosvold again
came to Sanak, this time bringing the
body of his youngest child, a little
girl eight years of age and the idol
of her father’s heart. The Grosvold
family formerly lived here and it was
in accordance with Mrs. Grosvold’s
dying wish that she was laid at rest
beside a son who died some years ago
and was buried here. Grief at the loss
of her mother hastened the death of
little Marie. She has been ailing for
some time.
Don Evenson, a Norwegian fisher
man in the employ of the Alaska Cod
Fish Company, was accidentally fat
ally shot while goose hunting on
Caton’s Island two weeks ago. He and
three companions were creeping up
on a band of geese when the gun of
Axel Anderson, who was just behind
him. was in some manner discharged
the entire load of shot striking Even
son in the back. Everything possible
was done for the unforunate man but
he died a few hours after the accident
occurred. The deceased had no rela
tives in this country.
Our new school-house will be ready j
for occupancy as soon as the stoves. |
arrive. Teacher and pupils will be
glatl to exchange the present rather
limited quarters for the more com
modious new building. Mr. Nielsen
has had charge of the work of build- j
ing the school house and has certain
ly had to labor under conditions that
would have discouraged most people.
Most of the people here are rather
discouraged over the outlook for the
: fur trade. The price has fallen so low
! that many of the hunters will not go
out all this winter.
People talk of the great disappoint
ments of life, such as disappointment
in love, in getting office, in the re
turns from the assay office, in landing
Eastern capital, or in being “high
liner” in the cod-fish game, but these
things are as nothing compared to
what the people of Sanak have felt.
They have seen the mail boat anchor
in the harbor, remain twenty minutes
and leave without sending the mail
ashore. Just sail away carrying with
her the news from home, from Europe
and from the Governor of Alaska, and
leaving nothing but weeps wails and
threats of vengeance behind her.
B. Benson is building a fine new

have raised the prices of flour, sugar
and other articles on account of “The
War.” Sanak merchants have made
made no change in prices so far.

SOCIALIST CANDIDATE
SWAMPED ALL OVER
From the returns from the big
towns it is evident that the socialist
candidate for delegate has been com- j
pletely swamped. In Nome and Jun-;
eau where socialist newspapers are j
published it is shown that the people ;
are becoming disgusted with them
and their kind. Nome city gave
Brooks 69 out of 870 votes. The soc
ialist vote in the First division, ac- .
cording to a telegram from the F.m
pire, is estimated at 250 although
Bunnell got over a thousand and .
Wickersham got over 1,500.
In Cordova Brooks got 12 votes j
out of 264. Chilberg, the former socia- I
list candidate for ?ongress, also got
snowed under in Nome city, his home j
town, where he ran this time for
representative.
