The Prospeetor, published at Val
dez, the headquarters of the Third
judicial division, claims the election of
Chas. A. Sulzer by the narrow margin
of twelve votes «ver Delgate Wicker
sham. As the Prospector was a
strong supporter of the democratic
nominee, it is certain that the paper
gives him none the worst of the
count. Herewith are the Prospector’s
figures, upon which it bases its claim.
It will be found that the returns of
Talkeetna, Chisana and Iliamna pre
cincts are given for the first time:

CLEMONS’ PHOTO GALLERY
GUTTED BY CONFLAGRATION
A fire at Ruby on October 21 made
an almost total wreck of the photo
graph gallery of Basil CleWions, who
is well and favorably known in this
district, and his friends here will
learn with regret of his misfortunes.
Smoke was also pouring out of the
Shell grocery store and Bloom’s hard
ware store when the fire fighters
reached the scene, but their loss was
insignificant, as the Record-Citizen
gives it as follows:
“Shell states that the loss of stock
in his own case amounts to only $8.00,
although C. K. Snow is incurring ex
pense in roofing and papering his
building.
“Meyer Bloom’s loss consists in five
teeth missing out of a hay rake."
Mr. Clemons told the Record-Citizen
that he estimated his damage at
about $2,000. His greatest loss was
his big camera lens, but he sustained
additional losses of smaller kodaks,
film rolls and bromide paper. As to
the already developed films, he is not
quite certain but that he may be able
to utilize some of them. He could not
tell exactly how the fire originated,
but his theory is that an explosion of
gasoline in the dark room caused the
fire.
ALASKA TRAVEL WILL BE
HEAVY NEXT SEASON
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)
Cal E. Stone, of St. Paul, passenger
traffic manager of the Great Northern
system, arrived in Seattle yesterday
on an early winter pleasure trip. He
brings the information that the vol
ume of passenger travel to Alaska for
the season of 1917 will be the heavi
est ever known. Company agents in
the east have been sounding out the
summer prospects and all report that
the movement beginning in June will
exceed all former proportions.
“The Great Northern,” he said, "is
now in condition to meet any hard
ships imposed by a rigorous winter.
The work of construction of two and a
half miles of avalanche-proof snow
sheds and tunnels in the Cascades will
be completed December 10. This will
make the line positively safe, and oiir
traffic troubles are over in those al
titudes. We expect next season to do
the largest passenger business in our
history.”
