Indianapolis, Oct. 5 ? The gov
ernment began its case against the
dynamite conspirators yesterday.
Today the attorney for the prosecu
tion has summed up his case and
stated what he expected to prove.
Among other things he Baid that
he intended to show that dynamite
*as shipped on trains that were
loaded with women and children,
which at iiny moment was liable
to explode and blow hundreds of
Innocent people tcT their deaths.
He further claimed that the
Itomhs and infernal machines were
carried by the same conspirators
who were there today under indict
ment, and that they all know of
the plots to blow up buildings even
if they did not take active part 111
the outrages.
Krnest Slenter, of the Idaho as
sociation, has a novel scheme
whereby he hopes to secure a more
regular supply of water for his
ground at the head of Flat creek.
Mr. Slenter's idea is to tap a supply
of water from a contact during the
winter. He will keep the water
flowing by means of artificial heat,
allowing it to spread over the
ground below and there freeze.
This operation could be continued
all winter, and in the spring the
ice would slowly melt and thus a
supply of water for early sluicing
might be obtained.
Send the Alaskan to your friends.

A. W. Brock, traffic manager of
the White Pass, who left Skagway
a few weeks ago for Dawson and
lower river points, has been visiting
Fairbanks in the Interest of li is
company. The Fairbanks Times
speaks of him as follows:
"To sound the sentiment of the
Fairbanks people with regard to
(he matter of through freight and
passenger traffic from Skagway to
ihe Tanana by the White I'ass &
Yukon route, A. W. Brock, traffic
manager of the road, reached Fair
banks yesterday for a week's visit.
Mr. Brock plans to make a thor
ough canvass of the business popu
lation of the camp and Its environs,
with a view to ascertaining the
amount of business that it would
be possible to gain, were the
through service Instituted by the
Canadian company. Asked wheth
er he had any knowledge concerning
Ihe action of the treasury depart
ment on the application of the
White Pass company to have Fair
banks made a sub-port of entry,
Mr. Brock replied that he knew
nothing concerning the result of
the department's investigation. Con
tinuing, he Btated that, until favor
able action is taken by the author
ities in that regard, the plans for
Ihe through service must be held
entirely In abeyance.
When the order is signed making
Fairbanks a sub-port of entry, and
promises of sufficient patronage
have been received, the boats will
start service through to Fairbanks.
However, no passengers, mall or
freight can be carried by the boats
from an American port to an Ameri
can port, owing to a United States
law prohibiting coastwise traffic by
British or any other foreign bottoms
The inauguration of the new ser
vice would assure an earlier season
in the spring and a later season In
1 1 he fall than is now possible.
