THE NEW DELEGATE FROM ALASKA.
• *
Dan Sutherland was elected yes
terday by a substantial majority
throughout the entire Territory. In
many places the returns showed more
than 2 to 1. The latest returns avail
able at the time of going to press
show that every Republican on the
Territorial ticket will probably be lect- j
ed by good majorities. The yjctory of
the Republican party through out the
entire country from Alaska to West
Virginia was complete.
Chairman White of the New York
Democratic committee conceded Hard
ing’s election early this morning and
Cox’s newspapers did likewise in an
extra edition? * -
Governor Cox wired his congratu
lations to Senator Harding and pledg
ed his support as a citizen in whatev
er emergency might arise.
. Wilson’s home precinct gave Cox
only 145 votes to Senator Harding's
218.

CARIBOU HERDS STOP TRAIN
ON TANANA VALLEY
Monster Run of Animals Reported
Near Fairbanks— Game Plenti
ful at Eagle. j
During the latter part of September
a run of caribou in which there were
animals estimated to number any
where from 500,000 to 1,000,000 took
place in the Fairbanks district. From
near Fox, on Goldstream, a few
miles north of Fairbanks to the south
bank of the Chatanika River the ani
mals were everywhere to be seen.
Even in that country where large
herds of caribou are not an uncom
mon sight and where practically
everyone has seen runs take place
for years, so great was the number
that it excited much comment ana
drew the residents of Fairbanks and
the creek towns out to witness the
unusual sight
A portion of the herd bearing away
from the main herd, crossed the rail
way line and a train on the Tanana
■Valley line enroute from Fairbanks
! to Chatanika was forced to come to
| a standstill for some time while the
animals crossed the track,
i J At almost the same time a- similar
run , took place in the Eagle country,
according to advices received by Gov.
i Thomas Riggs, from Game Warden
Robert Steel, Mr. Steele reports
' that both moose and caribou are
plentiful in his district*
KOLGAROK RAILROAD MAY BE
DISPOSED OF AND RAILS
REMOVED.
Rumors in Nome That Federal (iu»
ernment May Take Over Road.
NOME, Nov., 2— Jafet Lindcberg,
’ lead of the Pioneer Mining Company
and present owner of the Nome
i
Kougarok railroad line, is seriously
considering selling a major portion
of the rai.s, leaving only a few
miles of track in the immediate
vicinity of Nome.
Mr. Lindeberg said he had re
ceived offers to purchase the rails
and is seriously considering a pro
posal to sell them with the possible
exception of% a few miles out of
Nome. In the event of sale the rails
will be removed.
Asked regarding recent rumors in
timating possible purchase by the
federal or territorial governments,
he replied that he had heard sug
gestions of such character. The ru-.
i
more referred to have been prevalent
for some weeks. One is to the
effect that efforts are to be made .
to induce the federal government to
take over the road and the other
suggested that the territory may be
induced to purchase the road oul j
of the territorial road funds.
Mr. Lindcberg said he is willing (
to consider favorably any reasonable
proposition from the government or
territorial authorities. The entire
road could be purchased, he said,
not only for a small fraction of its.*^
original cost but also for consider- !
ably'less than the amount required
to build a wagon road as far as the
line extends into the Kougarok.

PERMITS ASKED FOR OVER
HALF MILLION ACRES
While staking of oil claims is
continuing in several of the fields
into which prospectors have worked
their way, in only one field has
there been anything like the activity
during the past month that charac
terized th& movement during the
summer season. The rush to Cold
Bay and other Peninsula districts, ac
cording to a statement made to
day by Register Frank A. Boyle of
the U. S. Land Office, has a substan
»
tial decreace in the number of ap
plications filed from other fields.
From the Cold Bay field alone
between September 12 and October
21, a total of 45 applications. cov
ering 115,002 acres were filed for
oil leasing and prospecting permits.
Only the big influx of applications
from this distrct kept the movement
as a whole up to normal, explained
Mr. Boyle. The month previous ap
proximately 130,000 acres were cov
ered in the 73 applications made for |
permits. . ^ \
\ i i 3k *
Total Over Half Million.
“During the period between the ■
above dates. 56 applications were j
received at this office covering an'
acreage of 138,240 says the state
ment. “This brings the total num- j
\ •
her of acres in all districts under'
this office well above the half mil-j
lion mark since th# new oil leasing j
law became effective last February.
Last month’s filing include : Cold
Bay, 45 applications; 115,200
acres; Iliamna, six for 15,360 acres;
Katalla,, two for 1,940 acres; Yaka
taga, Wasilla and Anchorage one
each of 2,560 acres making a total
for the month of 138,240 acres. »
Locations of Claims. i
The total list of applications filed
and the locations of the claims
follow: i
Cold Bay 103 263,680 acres
Katalla 48 83,433 acres 1

Another Field Opened
There has been considerable stak
ing of claims done in the Aniak
shak Bay field. This lies south- <
west of the Cold Bay field, about
LOO miles by the water route. On
an air line J. it is approximately 45 1
miles from the west field of Cold
f
Bay. This is generally regarded 1
ss one, of the most likely districts ■
in Alaska. The formation , it is 1
said, is considered favorable and as 1
?ar as is known is still in place. 1
Excellent surface indications have •
been found. In this district 22 1
claims have been surveyed and many 1
more, it. is believed , have been lo
cated but no applications * for per
mits have yet been received. .
Rye Permits Issued.
• Five permits were issued* by the
Interior Department during the
period covered in the statement. .
The first one went* to Fred Haef,
of Cordova. The other four are'
for claims situated jn the Cold Bay
%
district and were issued to J. J.
Finnegan and. associates o| the
-. ♦
In the meantime while wondering
how many years it will be before al*.
iens quit coming across the sea at
their present rate EUis Island work
ers are perplexed over their existing
problems, normal capacity of the
island is reached when 2,000 immi
grants are inspected daily. Yet, on a
recent day, 10,400 aliens were fed
there. During another day the same
week 11,000 persons were detained in
the holds of 'the vessels which brought
them over, while officials struggled *.
with the work of examining the 4,000
then on the island. For two days the
island doors were shut against incom
ers, who remained on boats. *
The. rapidity of handling them de
pends upon the aliens tEfem-selvcs.
Commissioner Wallis has found that
some groups are easier to examine
than others, while care must be taken
in seperating the many nationalities
which make the island conversation
»
sound like that at the Tower of Babel
* A
“If we mix English, Irish and Jews
there will be a free-for-all fight in .
ten minutes,” said the commissioner.
"The English won't eat with the lews;
and call thAn 'foreigners.”.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov., 3- Na
tional banks in many of the most im
portant cities of the country are'al
ready practically bare of Liberty Loan
Bonds and Victory Liberty Loan Notes
as far as ownership goes, according to
a Washington dispatch published here.
The total amount of Liberty Bonds’
owned by all the national banks in the
cities of Chicago, St Louis and Boston
combined on June 30, 1920, amounted
to only $11,071,000, according to fig
ures purporting to come from the
comptroller of the currency.
Bank loans on Liberty Bonds and
Victory Liberty Loan Notes are stead
ily diminishing, the dispatch stated,
while only 4% per cent of national
bank resources are now actually in- *
vested in these securities which are
mostly owned at present by permanent
investors. It is stated that the amount
of Liberty Loan Bonds and Victory
Liberty Loan Notes owned by the na
tional banks on June, 1920 , was only
$1,027,000. The total resources of the
lational banks on June 30 last was
given as $22,196,000,000.
The holdings of the country nation*
al banks, that is to say, tire national
banks outside of the Besenre and Cen
tral Reserve cities, was qsid to be es*
ceedingly small in many states as com*'
pared with their • holdings of other
bonds and their total resources. All of
the country national banks in New
York state held only $12,915,000 worth
of Liberty Bonds * sis collateral for
loans. The only, other {states whose
country national banka hield in the ag*
gregate as collateral for loans ns modi
as $10,000*00 of liberty Qmds were
Pennsylvania, $31*84*00; New Jemy
$16,9*^,000; Massachusetts, $13*97,*
000. s
As Liberty Bonds and Victory Lit3
erty Loop Notes gnkdnaUy find Mr
way into the hands of permanent bold*
ers, it is the opinion of flnsndsrs that
we may look for an oven trend ef the
bonds towards par. It is the wise in
vestor who is holding on to his benda,
