Latest Novelties in Tobacco Jars and Pipe Racks at Burford's ENGLISH STATESMAN AGAINST BIG NAVIES LONDON.?"I am convinced that this is the only way to terminate one of the most stupid and unnutur-1 al chapters in the history of Europ ean civilization," declared First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill in the House of Commons today after sug gesting that the nations of the world stop building warships for a year. "In this way," he continued, "the people of the world would obtain an almost instantaneous mitigation of the thraldom in which they have been in : volved by the evil and insensate folly I of the present acute rivalry in arma- i meats. Scores of millions are being j squandered year after year without making any difference in the relative naval strength of the nations. My pro-, posal would involve no alteration in; the relative strength of the world's navies. " We address this proposal to all nations and to no nation with more1 ! profound sincereity than to our great neighbor of the North Sea." Mr. Churchill closed with a grace ful recognition of the sensible im provement that had taken place in Anglo-German relations. Afterward in a speech .Mr. Church-j ill proposed, specifically, that Ger-! 1 many and Great Britain agree to can cel their programes of construction for 1914, remarking that "The in- J fluence of such an agreement would j be priceless and measureless in giv- j ' ing international scope to an arrange-' ment for preventing wasteful, pur poseless and futile folly." MORE WORK THAN EVER IN KANTISHNA FAIRBANKS, April 12.?Consider able more work than ever will bej done in the Kantislma district this | year than was done last year, ac cording to the statement of Robert Benuer. a Wantishna prospector who I came in yesterday from the remote section. Beuner and William Sheedy have been working on quartz prop erties at the head of Glen gulch in which Dr. J. A. Sutherland and as sociates of Fairbanks are interested. Benner and Sheedy went in from Fairbanks early during the winter and have been tunneling on promising looking quartz ledges on Glen gulch since that time. They have driven one tunnel in a distance of 80 feet. There will be more work than last ' season, for all the old-timers are plan ning to go ahead with their prospect ing, both in placer and quartz. , NEW COMMISSIONER FOR CIRCLE CITY United States District Judge Fred l eric E. Fuller, of the Fourth Division has appointed Frank A. Repnolds, of Corcle City, to be United States com missioner for his district. He suc ceeds John A. Cameron, who was ap pointed less than a year ago to suc ceed Abe Spring. SEWARD PAPER SAYS LANE FOR PRESIDENT We like the ring of that message from Secretary Lane to President Hay of the senate. It means that Alaskans who live in Alaska through choice will be named to fill federal positions in Alaska. It means more than this ?it means that Alaska in all things, is to be given a square deal by the Wilson administration. It means that our coal fields are to be opened to development; that the government will build railway systems. We like that man Lane. He's a big fellow mentally and physically. He'll sit in the president's chair before he quits public life.?Seward Gateway. OLD-TIMERS ON SKAGWAY COUNCIL Four members of the Skagway city council have been residents of the city for sixteen or more years, yet we are often told by Eastern states men that the population of Alaska is such a roving one that they are not entitled to a full measure of self government.?Skagway Alaskan.

DYNAMITE INJURES NATIVE EISHERMENl VALDEZ, April 6.?The Donaldson returned to Valdez last night after going to Golden, whore they picked up the five natives who were hurt last Tuesday when q number of caps exploded in a small boat when they were fishing with powder for herring. The natives are all boys, the oldest not over 24 years and the youngest about ten. The boy is not injured very seriously, while the oldest, who had the cap in his hand when it ex ploded, lost four fingers and has his thumb hanging by a thread. Two of them will lose an eye apiece, and one has been injured in the abdomen. The accident happened just across the bay from Golden, when the five were out fishing. Having found a box of caps they determined to catch a mess of fish quickly. While watch ing the fish they forgot that the fuse was nearly burned out, and it went off in the hand of one of the natives. The news was brought to Ellamar by a native in a bidarki. The boys were placed in the his pital by Col. O'Neil and they are now under the care of Dr. von Schrader, who, with Lieut. Kunzig, and four hos pital stewards left as soon as the ac cident was reported by Supt. Middle camp by wireless from the Yukon and thence by cable to Valdez. The natives had no care from the time of the accident until the arrival of the Donaldson yesterday morning, but are now resting easy and will be brought to Valdez today and placed in the local hospital".

ELECTION OF LEWIS PLEASES NEW YORK The election of James Hamilton) Lewis and Lawrence Y. Sherman as United States senators from Illinois ends creditably a deadlock which in the circumstances might have produc ed another Loriiner scandal. Lewis is a Democrat and Sherman is a Re publican. They were necessarily chosen by a fusion of Democrats and Republicans, for neither party had a majority in the legislature. Both had some sort of claim to election as in the soap-box primaries of their respective parties they were the choice of the people. Legislative conditions in Illinois which made the Lorimer purchase possible have on several occasions resulted in honorable compromises of this kind.. Lyman Trumball, David Davis and John M. Palmer came to the United States Senate by negotia tion and coalition. With this contest out of the way and direct elections of United States senators soon to be pro vided for, the end of one great source of corruption seems finally to have been reached. The Senate of the Sixty-third Con gress. now complete, stands political ly: Democrats, 51; Republicans, 45.? New York World. Every thing that will please a smok er may be found at BURPORD'S. PROGRESSIVES WILL SUPPORT PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, April 12.?Definite announcement of the plan of certain Progressive Republicans In the House to support President Wilson's admin istration in the accomplishment of "progressive policies" was made to day. Representative Kent, of Cali fornia, Lenroot, of Wisconsin, Ander son, of Minnesota and Hegleson of . North Dakota, announced that they ?! would support measures proposed by ]' the Wilson administration so long as ?; they considered them progressive. Representative Kent, of California, I! supported James R. Mann, for speak-]*; er, but did so pro forma to protect U< his party standing. He said that he J ^ will support the administration meas- . ures. * ' "I can see no good to be accom- j * plished at this time by a third-party- - line-up in the House" said Represen- ! tatlve Kent. "President Wilson has | brought assurances of his intent to ? realize, so far as may be, those pro- . gre8slve ideals which, are held by all ' open-minded and forward-looking < men. To my mind, our best services j can be rendered by aiding him and 4 those with him toward securing the J legislation which we desire and for J which we have worked in the past." i "I regard it as very unfortunate 4 that there should be any division j among Progressives in the House at < this time," said Representative Hen- < root in a statement concurred in by < Representative Anderson. "It may be J good psrsonal politics for third party < progressives and for some men who < were elected as Republican Progress- < ives and to take such a position at this time, but there is 110 statesman ship about it. As far as can now be forseen, progressives of all political parties will be called upon to assist and co-operate with President Wilson in his progressive policies, and new complications relating only to party ' politics can only injure the progress- ? ive cause." I NEW STRIKE ON FAIRBANKS ( REEK FAIRBANKS CREEK, March 20.? When Gust Lundstrom and Carl Larson reported yesterday that they had bedrocked two holes on 3 be low, creek claim, had found Rood pay in both holes, the output dopesters of the creek immediately began to figure an additional $100,000 to 1913's total. The discovery of the men is looked upon as one of the most favorable ? made on the creeks in the last few j, years, as it means the opening up ofi| a comparatively unprospected stretch ? of ground on the upper end of 3 be- . low. | The two holes both have a depth of ' 30 feet and were sunk a distance of j? 150 feet apart. As the pay was found in both holes, the indications are that') the pay is at least that wide. The ? pay gravel is four feet in height and ! some gold has been found in bedrock. J Pans averaging 11 cents to the pan in, ? both sides making an average value of the dirt $3 to the square foot of,, bedrock. ! ? The ground is worked by the two i' men on a short-term lease from thej j owners,, Matt Larson and Pat Mee- ? hati. The discovery was made imme- ! diately opposite the mouth of Walnut | gulch, a tributary to Fairbanks creek ' from the left limit. I NEW NEWSPAPER FOR CORDOVA Cordova is to have a new newspa- j per..
