ITALY ALSO DRIVES
London, Sept. 27.—With the Allied offensive in the
west and the Russian offensive in the east the Italians
Lave co-operated and Rome claims that the smashing at
tack against the Austrians on Sunday has been success
ful and that its success has held up the Teutonic advance
on the Balkans by compelling the enemy to withdraw part
of his forces from the Serbian front to meet Italy’s
pressure.
BULGARIA EXPLAINS
LONDON, Sept. 27.—The Bulgarian government,
while admitting the mobilization of the Bulgarian army,
has made a declaration that this mobilization has been
ordered only in the national interests of Bulgaria, for dc
tensive purposes, and not with a view to making an\ of
fensive movement. In spite of this declaration the feel
ing here is that Bulgaria will take sides with the Teutons
and Turks actively if the conditions look favorable.
LOAN IS DOUBTFUL
NEW YORK, Sept. 27—It is now almost certain that
the loan to the allied nations will be considerably less than
half a billion. Five per cent interest on bonds sold below
par is generally favored as it will make the net interest
higher.
FAMINE IN PETROGRAD
BERLIN. Sept. 27.—Famine is now threatening in
Petrograd and the bakeries are closing up because of a
lack of Hour. This statement is made officially but it is
further stated unofficially that the conditions in the Rus
sian capital are generally chaotic and that rioting is
threatened.
BRYAN PRAYS
HOTSPRINGS, Sept. 27.—William Jennings Bryan
will lead a meeting on the top of Hotsprings mountain
next Friday to pray for peace.
NEW YORK. Sept. 27—The Rockefeller Foundation
has already spent a million dollars for the relief of the
Belgians.
EXPECTS FIVE YEARS WAR
LONDON. Sept. 27.—Edgar Crammond, the famous
statistician, gives it as his opinion that the great wat will
last five vears and that at that time the United States wi
be the only solvent great nation in the world. He gives all
the figures to show how all the belligerent nations can
continue the war for that length of time and also to prove
that they will be bankrupt at the end.
CANADA BUILDS SUBMARINES
SEATTLE. Sept. 27.—On the most reliable informa
tion it lias been learned that Canada is now preparing to
build five submarines of the latest type to be shipped to
England in February. The contracts have been let to
the Electric company of New' \ ork, the Seattle Dr\ Dock
and Construction company, and to the Union Iron Works
of San Francisco._ _

eral large bridge timbers were also
taken on two trailers behind for the
bridge repair crew at Mile 52.
Tom Hambright and Myers Holmes,;
of Mile Six. returned la.^t Saturday
to their homes from a prospecting
trip up Glacier Creek, a tributary of i
Snow river. This makes their third
trip in that locality this summer and
they report things going nicely, al- ,
though nothing rich was found.
The right of way for 50 feet on
each side of the track has been clear
ed a> far as Mile Four. Wi*h s#me
new telephone poles, the telephone
wires stretched and the right of way
cleared the line looks as good as any j
outside, ami also it looks us if the
government was preparing for big
hauling soon.
, Adelman & Quilty, the dairymen,
have erected a tine barn on the Mc
Pherson ranch and a neat little bung- <
alow. At present they are living in a
tent.

and son.
Mrs. D. C. Brownell returned to
Mile Six this morning on the ca*,
after walking in yesterday morning.
Messrs. Ashland and Romig return
ed early this morning from a trip to

er. returning to his property on Nug
get creek in the spring.
Mi*3. C. A. Myers is an outgoing
past enger on the Evans for the states.
She will spend the fall outside, re
turning here the latter part of
November.
Mrs. Whittemore is not, after all, a
passenger on the Alameda but she is
due to leave for her home soon. The
name “Mrs. Whitmore as it appear
ed on the passenger list last Satur
day is the correct one.
J. Frank Warner and A. J. Brad
ford, government surveyors, are
outgoing passengers on the Admiral
Evans on their way to their head

FRANCHISE WILL COME
UP AT COUNCIL TONIGHT.
The regular meeting of the city
council will take place this evening
and the electric franchise will prob
ably come up for action. It is said
that only minor matters remain to be
adjusted to make the franchise ac
ceptable to both sides. So far as can
be learned the feeling amongst the
majority of the council is that the
company has tried fairly to meet the
objections to some of the sections.
At least one, maybe two, members of
the council will vote against the fran
chise whatever it contains. This one
has said so in open meeting and
seems to be of the opinion that a
public utility should not receive equal
treatment with a private business,
which, of course, is a false foundation
to build on. Some of the members of
the council seem to have a sincere de- j
sire to protect the interests of the
people but also to give invested capi
tal a square deal. The present fran
chise, it is claimed by those asking it,
is similar to the franchise asked for
by others and drawn up by the city
attorney. At least this is the recol
lection of the claim made.
WILMINGTON THURSDAY.
The arrival of the Panama steamer,
Wilmington, was delayed for some
unknown reason and according to a
message received by the Commission
she will arrive in Seward some time
next Thursday.

The summer’s slipping away again,
Anti winter’s almost here;
The boys are coming from the hills
In search of warmth and cheer.
Come; all you lads from Anchorage
When you crave a glass of beer.
You’re welcome as the flowers in May,
And no one is siwashed here.

For a glass of Sherwood Rye,
And to tell about the finds they’ve

As the winter passes by.

And from every camp afar,
For w« join you in goodfellowship
At the famous Palace Bar.
