The war news from the capitals of the nations now at war would do cre
dit to Ananias but Ananias would blush with shame if any body dared to
father on him the reports from Petrograd.
Since the beginning of the war the Russians have captured at least
fifty million Austrians, twenty thousand cannons and enough supplies to sup
port all the people of Russia for the next century.
Two or three weeks ago we were told that the Austrians "ere evacuat
ing Cracow and yesterday or the day before we were told that the Austrians
were re-organizing around the same forttress.
Why, anyone could w rite a Russians war dispatch without ever having
seen the country* and ho would make just as good a guess at the spelling of
the cities. The following might be taken as a fair example of a dispatch
from Petrograd:
‘ The Russian army in Galicia completely routed the Austrians yester
day and took two hundred thousand prisoners near the city of Xmloskv. The
Austrians have fled across the river Klgzwhisky leaving all their war stores
in the hands of the victors. The road to Vienna, Budapest and Berlin is now
open and the Russians will march on those capitals by the way of Ratsvveicz
across the Bullpedliski.”
For several weeks those Russians have been marching on Berlin and
Vienna. They must have lost their way.
The following from the Juneau Daily Empire shows that Seward re
sources are at last becoming known:
SEW MYKVEI.Ol S GOLD DEVELOPMENT
One of the very favorable developments of the present year in Alaska
is the increase in the gold output of the Seward district. It is estimated by
conservative mining men that the yield of the placer anti quartz mines in the
vicinity of Seward this year will amount to $600,000. When it is understood
that this sum is $■ ■•*>0,00(6n excess of last years output anti that the increase
is from low-grade placer and quartz claims the record is little shoit of mar
velous. It is particularly interesting to be able to add that the 140 per cent
increase bills fair to be repeated next year, li hail o* the promises that tome
from Seward and Kenai Peninsula are realized. Seward will very soon take
a place among the great gold producing centers of the North. And once
among them, it will remain, because the producing mines, if reports are re
liable, are all in large deposits.—Juneau Empire.
Next Sunday. October i, is the day set aside by 1 resident
general prayers throughout the nation for peace in Europe. Seeing that
each nation seems to believe that providence is on its side each would prob
ably rather let the scrap go on. But we surely could pray that the news sent
out would conform more to that truth which is said to please providence.

VOTE FOR
George R. Gos haw
To the Voters of the Third Division:
As it is impossible for me at this time, owing to the close of the
mining and business season at this placer camp, to como before you
in person, I find it necessary to make this announcement through the
medium of the press.
I desire your vote for Senator of the Territorial Legislature, from
the Third Division, at the Election on Tuesday, November the
Third.
My friends have not urged me to seek this office, nor does the
office seek me, I SEEK THE OFFICE, and I want your support and
vote.
I am solely responsible for my candidacy, and have made no
pledges or promises to any individual, party or concern, and if elect
ed will go to Juneau, absolutely unhampered with ties of any kind;
to do that which will advance the interests of the whole people of
Alaska:—not to go there and vote “aye and nay” during the session,
but to work with a will and a knowledge of affairs, gained from a
considerable experience, especially in this Division, and continue such
work, throughout the year and entire term of office.
If you feel that you can NOT honestly and sincerely cast your
ballot for any of the other candidates for this office, THEN \ GTE
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.

GENERAL SPEAKS TO
THE TROOPS
Paris.—The French war office is- j
sues the following transcript of two
remarkable utterances by the French
and German commanders on the eve
of the great battle now being waged:
On September (» the commander-in
chief of the French armies addressed
the following order of the day to his
troops:
“At the moment when a battle is
being engaged, on the result of which
the welfare of the country depends,
it is important to remind all that it
is no longer time to look behind. All
efforts must be employed to attack
and to drive back the enemy.
“A force which cannot advance any
further shall, no matter at what cost,
retain the conqucrd ground and he
killed on the spot rather than fall
back. Under the present circum
stances no weakness can be tolerated.’
We now know how these instruc
tions have been carried out and the
brilliant result obtained.
When our victorious troops entered
Vitry le Francois there was found
the following order signed by Lieut.
Gen. Tulff von Tschepe und Weiden
bach:
“ ‘Vitry le Francois, Sept. 7, 10:50
a. m,— The end aimed at by our long
anti painful marches has been reached
The main French forces have been
compelled to accept battle after con
tinuously falling back. The great de
cision is near at hand. Tomorrow,
therefore the whole forces of the Ger
man army, as well as those of ours
army corps mut be engaged all
along the line from Paris to Verdun,
in order to save the welfare and honor
of Germany.
1 expect that every officer and sol
dier, notwithstanding the battles and
heroisms of the last few days, will do
his full duty and until his last breath.
SUNDAY ISLAND
TO BK ABANDONED
AUCKLAND, N. Z., Sopt 21.—Sun
day Island, a verdant tract of seven
miles by five, in the Kermadec group
of the South Pacific, is to be aban
doned.
The thirteen persons who have been
living a Crusoe-like life there have
been driven to desperation by loneli
ness, rats, volcanic rumblings, and
other affliction.
Thomas Bell, who landed on the
island by a whaler in 1878 held un
disputed possession of the place for
twenty years, but the New Zealand
government latter apportioned the
island among a number of settlers.
Since then frequent .attempts have
been made to colonize the place, but
Hell is the only one who stuck it
it out from the first. Even now
though the other twelve settlers are
sick of the place. Hell says he would
remain if the government would rec
ognize his ownership.
While oranges, bananas and to
bacco thrive on the island, there are
no cocoanuts, and the crops which the
handful of islanders try to plant are
often destroyed by the small Pacific
rats which infest the place, and *
surviving volcano frequently gives
the whole island a shiver.
