those war names
The sadiUil part of I he European war to us people over here is the att
empt to pronounce the names of the places where the battles are coins on.
Some of them remind one of the story of the farmer »ho was looking al a
< a met for the first time in his life and. doubting his own sense of sight.de
elared that there warn'l no sich animal. When we eome to a place called
I’rzemyal we can only regret, no matter how our sympathies lie, that the
Austrians were ever so foolish as to fortify it and keep the Russians so long
monkeying around it. it i' to be hoped if they do take it that they will mete
out to it the fate of St. Petersburg. * » ..... • “ *
I ho Irish soldier* Here Hounded about a month ago during the fight
in- at Compiegne and nhen they were taken to Paris they told .the .doctors
they received their nound> fighting like the divil at Copenhagen and from
thiN probably came the story that the Danish army nas being mobilized.
London Punch once nhen asked for the best advice for people about to
get married ansnered nith the word “don’t” and the same advice holds good
h hen one is about to pronounce some of the names of the battlefields. Some
times those names are had enough but are sweet simplicity itself when com
pared to the nay they come over the wires. One came yesterday spelled Tsing
chudufukiae hut the linotype machine bucked and to get the paper out in time
the Hork of art had to be Oslerized.
The funny thing about all thi> is that some people are Hilling to pro
nounce Paris just as it i> spelled hut if you pronounce Bruges, Vosges, Liege,
UiM*. Verdun. St. Quentin and the rest as they look to you one is in danger of
being put donn a** an ignoramus . We do not pronounce 1 ranee or 1 aris as
the French pronounce them no nhy in the name of all that s holy should hc
be expected to pronounce Amiens as it hc had a cold in the nose.
Listen; Przemysl i* pronounced something like Pshmshl the eneylopedia
tells us and it we cannot pronounce it the way it is spelled hc surely can t
pronounce it the nay it ought to he spelled unless hc go out and get a jag
on.
A Frenchman went to Nome some time ago and one of the Nonieites let
loose some ot hi" French hut the Frenchman apologized because he couldn’t
understand him and explained that he never had a chance to learn hskimo.
\s most of the corresponding letters of the languages have different
qualities, so to speak, it would he a vain task to pronounce all the names of all
countries correctly. Kven right at our elbows we ha'e a man who spells his
name Villa and pronounces it Viya, while Huerta is something like Woerta.
As a matter of fact one cannot spell in Fnglish as they are pronounced
"uch word" a" Bruges. Vosges and others. The) are pronounced as a free and
intoxicated \merican pronounces the word lose. It is not Brushe or \ os he nor
i" it Bruzhe or Vo/he exactly but a sort of a cross between both. But then one
of these days the Germans may retire to their own country and we shall he
quite at home pronouncing Pfal/burg. Reinchenbdeh and little matters of that
kind.

N OTE FOR
George R. Gosliaw
To the Voters oi 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 come 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 Flection 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 \ OTL
FOR ME. Yours very truly,
GEORGE R. GOSHAW.
Chisana, Alaska, Sept. 1, 1914.

NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
FAIRBANKS.--Murder is one crime
that is never outlawed by time. Just
ice is relentless and tireless and time
less in its pursuit of the murderer
and practical to grief.
In this instance justice is repre
sented by the United States district
attorney’s office, which secured in
dictments at Ruby directed against
two well known Indian bad men of
the Yukon, Old Toby and Old Jimmie,
both of whom were arrested a day
or two ago by Deputy Marshal Berg
at Nulato and are at present jailed
at Ruby. They are accused of hav
ing murdered two white men whose
names cannot be given now many
1 years ago, shortly after the discovery
of Fairbanks.
1DITAROD, Aug. 27.—Harry ' T.
McLean, late assistant-postmaster of
this city, was tried yesterday after
noon on an insanity charge, The jury
disagreed and he was discharged, but
he is now being held for the alleged
embezzlement of postoffice funds.
A shipment of $16,000 in gold dust
recently reached Cordova from Chis
ana. Some of the nuggets weighed
three ounces and were free from
quartz.
JUNEAU, Sept. 18.— “Taku Jim ”
the well known native Indian resi
dent here and a member of the Wolf
clan, was electrocuted about two
o’clock this afternoon, death result
ing instantly from coming in contact
with the high tension transmission
cable of the Treadwell company at
a point near the Standard Oil com
pany’s dock. The body was badly
burned.
The accident happened under pecul
iar circumstances. Jim was aboard
his gas boat when it drifted alongside
the point where the cables pass on
poles along the beach. The mast of
the boat touched the cable and Jim
came in contact with it by taking hold
of the wire stay supporting the masts.
Annual school expenses at $200 per
pupil are considered cheap at Idit
arod, when compared to Otter, where
it runs as high as $600 per pupil.
J. M. Wiswall, well known mining
man of the Fairbanks and other in
terior camps, was drowned while at
tempting to ford a slough near Mun
son’s roadhouse on the Fairbanks
Valdez road. The unfortunate man
was fording the stream with a horse
when the animal was carried off its
feet and swept down stream. Wiswall
had been in Alaska sixteen years and
had operated on Cleary creek. Fair
banks, and in Iditarod.
