DOCK AND ROAD
TO BE REPAIRED
Receivers Ordered to Preserve
Alaska Central Property on
Request of Bondholders.
By Cable to Ttoe Dally Gateway.
Valdez, Oct. 25—On the request of
Attorney Graves, for the Trusts &
Guarantee Company of Toronto, plain
tiff in the Alaska Central foreclosure
suit, Judge Reid last Saturday evening
issued an order authorizing the re
ceivers to put the railroad dock and
property in repair, to incur the neces-’
sary expenses for the work, and in
every way to protect the property
from loss or deterioration. Mr. Graves
announced in open court that the Ca
nadian banks which hold $5,000,000 of
Alaska Central bonds are ready to ad
vance the money to defray the expen
ses of such work, and further, that
they are prepared to continue the con
struction of the road to the interior as
soon as foreclosure can be effected.
Receiver Goodwin will go to Seward
on the next boat and be in active
charge of the property, while Receiver
Laberee will return to Spokane.
Mr. Graves says that he expects fore
closure to be completed and the road
turned over to the new interests by
March 1, 1909. The advertisement of
sale in Chicago, New York, London
and Seward will require ninety days.
Thirty days after the tinal date of ad
vertisement the property will be sold
to the highest bidder.
The Canadian banks which hold the
bulk of the bonds will bid the proper
ty in and build the road themselves if
other bids are not high enough to suit
them. It is known now that there
will be three active bidders, each rep
resenting strong groups of capital.
Would Correct Impression
Mrs. C. P. Morgan, in order to cor
rect any erroneous impression that may
have been made in reference to the
part she had in the unfortunate ring
episode, wishes to state that she ac
cused no one, but being induced to re
port the matter to an officer of the law
she was requested to tell who had been
at the house. She had no thought,
however, that anyone would be lodged
in jail without proof of guilt being
first established, and she wishes furth
er to state that the party unjustly ac
cused by others has for years enjoyed
the confidence both of herself and her
husband, and she regrets very much
that she in any way even seemed to
him to cast any reflection upon his well
known reputation for honesty.

Washington, D. C., Oct. 26—Presi- j
dent Roosevelt today issued a letter to (
the laboring men of the United States
strongly urging them to support Mr.
Taft for president as the true friend of
labor. It is couched in the president’s
characteristic style, and makes one of j
the strongest documents of the cam
paign.
During the closing week of the cam- j
paign the forces will be concentrated !
in New York, Ohio, and Indiana. :
There will be rousing times in those j
states, including red fire parades and I
big demonstrations by all parties. The ■
1 sharpest tight is centering in New j
; York, where the contest between 1
Governor Hughes, republican, and j
Stuyvesant Chandler, democratic, is
developing more interest than the :
contest over the national ticket.

HEARST WANTS
TO BE SENATOR
May Take Up Residence in Nevada
and Be Candidate Before
Legislature Next January.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Reno, Oct, 26—It, is at nounced here
todav that William R. Hearst will
take up his residence in Nevada, be a.
candidate for the senate before „tho
Nevada legislature next January, and
be in training for the presidency, tn
1912.
The pretext for the announcement is,
that his physicians advise the change
of climate for his health. The an
nouncement does not come directly
from Mr. Hearst, but apparently is so
authoritative that it is generally a(y
cepted as coming from him. It is one
of the many surprises which Mr.
Hearst has injected into the campaign.
