ITALIAN FRONT QUIET
GENEVA, Sept. 9.—Fighting on the Austro-Italian
front seems to l>e at a standstill and the activity of a week
or two ago on the Austro-Serbian front has apparently
ended. From Austrian sources comes the information
that the reported advance of the Italians in the province
of Trente has been brought to a standstill and was never
more than the result of the Austrian desire to take up
more favorable positions. Rome papers declare that
Italy is fulfilling its object, even if no further advance is
made, by holding a large Austrian army from the eastern
front.
TURKS REINFORCED
ATHENS. Sept. 9.—The signing of the agreement be
tween Turkey and Bulgaria has been followed by the de
tachment of Turkish troops from the Adrianople region
to Gallipoli peninsula and gulf of Saros districts to meet
the reinforcements being sent by Italy for the allied forces
on the Turkish front, it is said by military experts that
neither side can use more than fifty thousand men to ad
vantage in the first line of the fighting on the peninsula
and all Gallipoli is declared to be covered with lines of
defense laid out by the Turks under German supervision.
GERMANS TAKE PRISONERS
BERLIN, Sept. 9.—The German army operating
south of Grodno took two thousand eight hundred prison
ers yesterday. Every day now sees the capture of Rus
sians in greater or less numbers by our troops as the
bodies of stragglers are constantly falling behind the
main body of the enemy as it retreats. We are now
sweeping straight along from north to south.
ALLIES WANT LOAN
N'F.W YORK. Sept. 9.—Six English and French
financiers of the first class are now on the way across the
Atlantic to this country for the purpose of negotiating a
war loan of five hundred million dollars. They have cor
responded with local financial firms but a conference was
found necessary before any transactions could be con
su m mated._ __

MACHINE SHOP
WORK CONTINUES.
The work on the construction of the
new machine shop is progressing slow
Iy but surely. Mr Hancock who has
charge of the erection of the build
ing has the concrete foundations al
ready in, and the structure will be
commenced as soon as the lumber
from the Seward Sawmill Company,
contracted for is delivered. Some of j
the machinery that was in the old
machine shop on the same site and
which went through the fire of last
April will be cleaned and used over.
Broken parts have been wired for
and Mr. Hancock says that they will
be almost as good as new when clear
ed and oiled and will give just as good
service.
This machine shop will be a very
small one but one able to do all the
work which may arise during the
coming winter. A larger and much
better equipped shop will be built in
the near future further along the line
where more room can be found and
which will be off the main line of
traffic.
Visiting cards, invitations, anything
pretty is done by the Gateway just as

RICHARD HOLYOKE ARRIVES
AFTER STORMY TRIP WF:ST.
Compelled to Leave Barge With Can
nery Supplies at Belkofsky.
The tug Richard Holyoke, Capt.
Robert Ferguson, of the Puget Sound
Tug Boat Company arrived this
morning at 3:30 after a very stromy
trip to the west. Capt. Ferguson said
that in his 15 years of navigation in
Alaskan waters this trip was the
hardest he had ever experienced. He
had in tow the old ship Big Bonanza,
with material for a new cannery at
Koggiung to be built by Libby, Mc
Neil & Libby this fall. As there were
severe gales blowing in the Bering
Sea and no boats in that water and
as all the cannery ships and steamers
had left, he decided that the trip
would be too dangerous for his little
tug to tow a large ship through a
storm path and he therefore anchor
ed the barge in Belkofsky Bay, about
100 miles this sido of Unimak Pass.
He came to Seward to await orders
from the company offices at Seattle.
Just before reaching Kodiak Island
his engines and boilers broke down
and he had to put in at Larson’s Bay
for repairs, spending two days there.
The trip up from Seattle as far west
as Kodiak Island he reports to have
been ideal but that after leaving
Larson’s Bay he struck a heavy gale
in the ShelikofT straits which followed
him all the way west. After leaving
I/arson’s Bay he was storm bound 14
days. The worst part of the trip he
experienced off Kings Cove where a
living gale blew from the southwest
for three days and in a few minutes
changed to a worse gale from the
northwest, which blew for 36 hours.
In this kind of weather he could not
risk life and property so anchored the
ship in Belkofsky Bay.
Capt. Ferguson does not think that
his company will send another and
larger tug boat to tow the barge in
to the Kogiung this fall and ‘hence
the cannery of Libby, McNeill &
Libby will not be built till next
spring.
