BERLIN, Dec. 9—It was officially announced this afternoon
that Emperor William is suffering from pneumonai, combined
with nervous depression, due to over exertion. The royal phy
sicians have aviso him not to return to the front and upon this
advice the Kaiser will remain in this city for a time.
JUDGE SPENCE HAS
HIS FIRST SLEIGHRIDE
Just before leaving for the states,
District Attorney Spence enjoyed at
Valdez the sleighride of his life.
Judge Spence comes from Geoargia
where sleighing is not common.
MAY CHANGE STANDING
OF THE CANDIDATES
The Valdez Prospector states that
more than two hundred votes were
cast in the Bristol hay region at the
recent election, but that the official
returns have not yet come in. It is
believed that these returns will
change the present standing of the
candidates for the territorial senator
ship.
SUCCEEDS IN RAISING
WRECKED SCHOONER
Captain Stagger, the diver, who suc
cessfully raised the Curacao, and later
purchased the wreck of the Montana
which sunk in Redoubt bay, not far
from Sitka, has raised the schooner
and taken her south to be repaired at
Port Townsend.
A Correction.
A few days ago the Times stated
that Bert Btollinger was in Port Wells
doing assessment work on the mining
property owned by Councilman Thos.
Davis. The article should have read
that Mr. Bollinger is doing work on
valuable claims belonging to himself
adjoining the property owned by Mr.
Davis.,
[
Through the efforts of the Seattle
Commercial Cluh, three transcontin
enal railroads hnve agreed to use in
the literature they scatter broadcast
throughout the United States each
year a large number of photographs
depicting the scenic beauty of Alaska.
The value of this advertising cannot
be underestimated, particularly at this
time, as 1915 is destined to see the
heaviest tourist travel in the history
of the country owing to the European
strife. Thousands of persons who an
nually go abroad for their summer rec
reation will visit the Pacific Northwest
and Alaska next year instead, because
the European watering places and
other rendezvous of tourists will be
closed.
The Alnskan photographs supplied
to the Northern Pacific, Great North
ern and Milwaukee roads show in no
small way what a wonderful country
Alaska really is, and will no doubt be
the means of prompting many per
sons to visit the Northlnnd. Officials
of the above mentioned lines have
written to the Commercial Club, thank
ing the organization for the photo
graphs and giving assurance that
they will be used in literature that
is now in course of compilation.

CLAY SON The Clothier j
FOUR GREAT STATES
OUT OF ALASKA
When asked by Fairbanks citizens
if he would work to have the capital
of Alaska transferred from Juneau
to Fairbanks Delegate Wickersham
declared he would oppose such a plan.
He stated that he believed that the
time W'ould come in the life of some
now living In Alaska when the Terri
tory would form four great states,
Juneau as its capital; a second, Al
aska, embracing Souwestern Alaska,
with Valdez as its capital; the state
of Seward, embracing the Seward pen
insula, and the fourth probably be
Tnnana or Yukon with Fairbanks as
the capital.

ICE SAVED NOME FROM
BEING BADLY DAMAGED
A blizzard, which threatened great
damage to Nome, occurred last week.
The large amount of ice along the
shore saved the city from partial de
struction. The floating ice held the
surf down and the tee would raise and
fail with each wave, but the spray
could not reach into the town and
coming back to the sea did not un
dermine the buildings as was done in
the storm of two years ago.
FEAR LOSS OF TWO
FISHING BOATS
Juneau exchanges express the tear
that two fishing boats, the Viecara
and Anna Wanna, which were known
to be in the path of the great storm
which caused the Dirigo to founder,
on November 16, have been lost.
———— :o:
Today’s rain has made the path of
residents on Fourth street smooth—
and slippery.

Harry Kerr will leave in a day or
two for Fort Wells, where he will
spend the winter.
