A NERVE-RACKING ELECTION.
The election has been a nerve-racking affair, both as to
national results and territorial and division results. When
this was written, the result of the national election had not
reached Anchorage. Both parties claim the victory. We do
not propose to indulge in any hilarity because the result is too
uncertain. We can safely assdrt fch^t it has been one of the
closest national elections in the nis'tory of the country. It has
been an exceedingly lively contest, exciting in the extreme.
As to the delegate election, it appears that the Second di
vision. which was carried by over 200 votes by Delegate Wick
ersham, has reversed the situation since late yesterday after
noon, and there is hope for the belief that he is re-elected. In
deed, according to reports reaching this office this forenoon,
the delegate had a lead of nearly 200 votes over the democrat
ic candidate. It will require complete returns from all voting
precincts in the territory, in all probability, to determine the
’•esult.
The race for attorney-general lies between Grigsby and
Schofield, with the chances favoring Grigsby, because of his
big vote at Nome.
Schofield was well in the lead until the Nome report came,
which reversed the situation, and it now appears that the dem
ocratic candidate will occupy the office of attorney-general. We
hope for this result, as Mr. Grigsby is our choice.
The senatorial contest in the Third division has narrowed
down to a race between Dooley and Ronan. Ronan has a sub
stantial lead and we are frank to admit that the voting pre
cincts to be heard from will probably increase his lead. Ko
diak and Afognak are the two largest voting precincts that
.have not reported. A deputy IT. S. marshal has formerly been
'able to swing the vote any way he wished in those precincts,
and as he is a democrat, or rather, is holding a job under a dem
ocratic., administration, it is plausible to believe that he will
favor the democrats. If he does, Ronan will win.
For membership from the Third division in the lower
house of the Alaska legislative assembly, Frank B. Cannon
leads the ticket and cannot be defeated by any returns yet to
be reported. Indeed, the returns yet to be received will prob
ably increase his big lead over all other candidates. The fight
lies between Joe II. Murray, Tom Price, Charles Day and Thom
as Holland. If Price and Holland gain a big vote at Kodiak
and Afognak, they are elected beyond a doubt. In arty event,
as the Tfethrns now stand, three members will be chosen from
among’these fout candidates—Day, Price,'Holland and Murray-.
A FINE ADVERTISEMENT.
The announcement that by an overwhelming vote of the
people, Alaska has recorded its decision in favor of prohibi
tion, will be a great advertisement for the big territory. It
will open the eyes of the people of the states, who have long
regarded the inhabitants ot the northland as a semi-barbaric
race ,given to wantonness and disregard of the common rules
that guide civilization. As a matter of fact, Alaskans are es
sentially law-abiding and law-respecting people. At the very
first opportunity, the Alaska legislative assembly passed a law
giving women the right of suffrage. And now we record our
selves in no uncertain terms with respect to prohibition. We
are in advance of many of the states of the union, and among
these states are several in the extreme east that have always
labored under the delusion that they were the leaders in civi
lizing influences.
Alaskans favor the eight-hour working day. They have
said so at the polls. Eight hours of hard toil is enough for any
body. Here again Alaska shows its progressiveness._
DR. WAITE, DEBONAIR YOUNG
PRISONER, FINDS SOUL MATE
OSSINING, N. Y„ Oct. 31.—Dr. Ar
thur Warren Waite, debonair young
prisoner who, after several months of
diligent effort, succeded in killing his
wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John E.
Peck, of Grand Rapids, today found a
soul mate. Or rather, she found him.
In a letter to Waite in his cell in
the Sing Sing death house, where he
is kept pending the appeal of his case,
th£, writer told the young man that
his !‘cosmic throb” and hers, as reveal
ed v6o her by her intuitive self, are the
safiie. She longs to be with him, to
comfort him, and to assure him they
will be mates in the-next world.
Dr. Waite receives many letters
from women he never knew. Some
condole, some scorn, but most express
admiration, sympathy and love. Waite
spends his time reading the Bible and
writing poetry. When former War
den Osborne left Sing Sing Waite bade
him a warm adieu.
Osborne thinks Waite excessively
abnormal; that he should not be elec
trocuted but rather locked up for life.
FORSEE SHORTAGE OF ORE
DELIVERIES DUE TO ICE
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 28.—An iron
ore shortage before spring is fore
seen by steel men here today, due to
the fact that the big lake carriers
have been so busy freighting for the
week-to-^ek trade, they have not
been able to pile up a reserve. With
the closing down of lake freighting by
ice, expected early next month
freighting will be practically over, as
rail freight rates are prohibitive.
They would increase the cost of pig
iron more than $4 per ton.
It is estimated that 65,000,000 tons
would be necessary to carrv the fur
naces over to the opening of naviga
tion in April. The most optimistic
now declare that it will be impossible
for the lake boats to deliver enough
ore to swell the reserve now on hand
of 60,000,000 tons.

at both stores.

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on |
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common |
and so unusually artistically attrac- i
tive. If you plan to repaper you |
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
