NOTHING NEW THIS AFTERNOON
LONDON, Jan. 45.—The news published from the
eastern and western war fronts this afternoon is hardly
worthy of notice. The very silence of Petrograd, how
ever, is regarded as ominous and people are inclined to
believe the Germans have really gained the advantage
they claim in the fighting west of Warsaw. There is ap
parently a lull in the fighting in the western field owing
to the bad climatic conditions. On the sea nothing has oc
curred of noteworthy nature. The German cruiser is evi
dently still at large but its position in the straits of Magel
lan is such that it can hardly hope to escape the British
ships watching both entrances. No result is reported
from the bombardment of Pola, the great Austrian naval
base, and it is assumed in consequence that no results have
been secured. The bombardment is said to be still pro
ceeding but this comes from unofficial sources.
BRITISH TROOPS FOR FRONT
AMSTERDAM. Jan. 4.—It is stated on reliable author
ity that the British are now dispatching troops to France
at the rate of fifteen thousand a day. The most perfect
precautions are being taken to protect the transports
from attack by German submarines and both sides of the
channel are lined with British warships of all kinds. The
French warships not engaged in the mediterranean are
also said to be on duty in the channel for the same pur
pose. The Germans have announced that the bombardment
by the British and French fleets of some of the Belgian
coast towns occupied by the Germans has resulted in the
killing of many Belgians.
LONDON. Jan. 4.—The British government officially
denies the loss of the dreadnaught Thunderer which
American papers had reported. There is nothing further
given out regarding the cause of the loss of the battleship
Formidable but it is generally supposed to have been due
to a mine and not to a submarine. The admiralty points
out that the British fleets are at a disadventage in the
mater of coast defence as the British coast line exposed
to attack is far longer than the German coast line in the
North Sea.

THE GATEWAY BREAKS THE
BAD NEWS TO MALTBY.
He First Sees in This Paper the Fact
That He Has Been Beaten
For Legislature.
A. E. Maltby, formerly commis
sioner in the Iditarod, is now at Knik
with Mrn. Maltby on the way out
from the interior camp to Juneau. On
leaving Iditarod he thought he had
been elected to the legislature and
came out to be on hand to attend the
session of the legislature in March.
At Susitna Station, however, he came
across a copy of the Seward Gateway
telling that Snow of Ruby had forged
ahead in the voting and that
he had fallen from first to second
place. J. E. Riley the mining
operator met the Maltbys on the
trail. He also believed that the Idita
rod man’s election was assured. It is
aid now that Snow has a lead of only
eighteen votes but judging from all
the returns that have come in it seems
aa if Snow’s election is certain.

RILEY TALKS
OFJHE TRAIL
IDITAROD OPERATOR SAYS
SOMETHING SHOULD BE
DONE AT ONCE.
J. E. Riley, a member of the firm
of Riley and Marston the big mining
operators of the Iditarod, says that
Seward should certainly do something
to have an improvement effected in
the trail between that camp and this.
! He arrived from the interior on the
| way to the outside to secure some
■ material for his dredge. He found the
trail laid out in an almost unbelievab
ly poor manner. The trail itself is
well built, he says, although some
work should be done at Happy creek.
But of the route which the trail fol
lows he has nothing to say but what
is uncomplimentary. He suggests that
the people of Seward get together to
send a petition and to take any other
steps which might be necessary to
have some money allotted and some
work done on the trail. He himself
made the trip in thirteen days but he
says it is wonderful how the mail is
brought over that trail at all. Wind
falls are found everyplace and in some
cases the trail is made to run around
tree stumps as if it were a necktie
running around a collar. Mr. Riley
speaks very optimistically of the
Iditarod and everything connected
with it, but he thinks that Seward
ought to get busy about that trail un
less they are asleep. “The mail car
riers that can get the mail in such
time over a trail like that must be—
moose." Said he.

ECONOMIC CONDITION
OF GREECE IS SOUND.
(By The Associated Press.)
ATHENS Jan. 4.—The newspapers
here comment with satisfaction on
the financial statement of the govern
ment for the year 1914. According to
the Minister of Finance, the economic
situation of the country is most favor
able, the international situation hav
ing had far less adverse effect on re
venues and expenditures than was ex
pected.
As summed up in the Minister’s re
port, ordinary expenditures amount to
$47,000,000 and extraordinary expend
itures to $43,000,000. Of this total
of $90,000,000 about $47,000,000 is as
signed to army and navy and national
defense.
MAIL ARRIVES ON SCHEDULE.
IDITAROD, EteT 12.—The mail
from Seward arrived Thursday even
ing on schedule time and included a
great deal of mail from Fairbanks, the
first received here since the close of
navigation. Through the enterprise of
the mayor, who passed around the hat
to defray the extra expense, a team
was sent to the assistance of Mr. Boyd
i
the carrier, who had a rough trip
from the creeks to this city, owing
to the absence of snow. —Iditarod
