FEAR THIRD BALKAN WAR
BUCHAREST, August 21.—That the Balkan states,
instead of lighting either on the side of the Teutonic or
Entente alliance, will declare war on each other is now
the fear aroused by the possibility of the refusal of these
countries to accept the proposals of the allies. Indeeu, it
is almost accepted as certain that the refusal of the pro
posals will result in a third Balkan conflict as each of
the Balkan nations is determined to improve its position
while the great powers are tied up.

Russian and three German warships were sunk. Two
other German ships were disabled and one has been driven
ashore. It is admitted today that the Germans have cap
tured the French positions at the Arras-Lens crossroads.
BELIEVE ANNEX POLAND

Poland instead of giving it freedom as had been suggest
ed. The papers are all in favor of annexation.

feated a fleet of Austrian aeroplanes near the border of

NEW INDUSTRY STARTS HERE.
Up-to-Date Cigar Factory in This
City wilt Manufacture Two
Brands of Cigars.
M. Herman, a cigar manufacturer
of experience, arrived last night on
the Alameda with his family and will
soon start a cigar factory on Fourth
avenue next door to George the
Jeweler.
Mr. Herman’s idea is to furnish
direct to the trade in Seward and dis
trict, a first class domestic cigar that
will equal if not surpass any such
goods put up in the states. He is
purchasing only the highest class of
four or five years' growth, thereby
being able to turn out a cigar that
will be ready for immediate consump
tion, not having to be kept on hand
for some years in order to acquire the
mellowness and flavor that only can
be obtained through using tobacco of
the choicest and most carefully select
ed growth. Mr. Herman has enough
stock to last one year.
The fact that being locally manu
factured and sold direct to the retail
er without need of the jobber’s profit
being added to the cost to the con
sumer will necessarily be the means
of a first class article being offered
the pubile at a, less price than other
wise would be the case.

VALDEZ COUNCIL TRIES
TO CORRAL WHARFAGE.
The Valdez city council has passed
an ordinance providing for the ap
pointment of a wharf master and that
no ship or boats of any kind can land
at any other wharf or dock except
that owned by the city unless this
wharf master gives his consent. The
ordinance is due to the fact that the
council wants to put the Valdez
Wharf or Dock company out of busi
ness. The ordinance also provides
that no goods from any vessel land
ing at any other wharf without per
mission may be hauled through the
streets. The ordinance is said to be
based on a ruling of the supreme
court years ago whew the counties
around the river near Keokuk were
given jurisdiction of the river to stop
the men who carried on gambling in
the middle of the river. It is pointed
out by the opponents of the ordinance
that to try to compel ships to land
only at one wharf is a consipracy in
restraint of trade. Indeed, the gener
al opinion seems to be that the city
co^jicil of Valdez is also a little nut
ty. One Valdez person speaking to
I the Gateway says that “Valdez would
be a good town if it had about 150
funerals.”
