HOKE WINS
President Cleveland's Secre
tary whips Georgia Machine
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23 Hoke Smith,
journalist, lawyer, former secretary of
the interior anil one of the wealthiest
men in Georgia, has won the great
contest for the democratic nomination
for governor which has shook this
state from core to bounday for more
than a year. He defeated Clarke How
ell, editor and principal owner. of the
Atlanta Constitution and tbe democrat
ic leader for many years, at the prim
ary election in this state yesterday.
The campaign has been bitter and
brilliant. The organization and the
"Interests" were on the side of Howell,
who is very ^popular personally and a
member of one of tbe oldest and most
progressive families in the state. Hoke
Smith ma4e his campaign as a reform
er. The railroad interests were the
special objective of his attack. He
made speeches in every county of his
state. Tom Watson, who left the dem
ocratic'party because of his antipathy
for the Cleveland wing of the party, of
which Hoke Smith was so long the
Georgia representative, and ran for
vice-president as a populist, returned to
the fold and took the stump for Smith.
FOOT BALL
FOR WINTER
Football teams are being organized
on Douglas island and it is proposed
that teams be organized throughout
Southeastern Alaska for the purpose of
giving the people a good variety of
clean sport for the winter time. L. S.
Humes, son of the late Mayor Humes,
of Seattle, who is working for the
Treadwell company is the originator of
the proposition. He says there will be
teams from the Mexican and Treadwell
mines and from Douglas city. He thinks
Juneau, Skagway and Whiiehorse could
be icduced to organize teams so that
there could be something to create,
more than local interest in the game.
It is said, however, whether the other
towns organize or not. the sport will be
pursued with zest on Douglas island.

FIND EIGHT
Gruesome Skeletons of \a
leucia Wreck Disco veieil I
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Victoria, B. C., Aug. 23? The discov
ery of eight skeletons in a cave on the
west coast of Vancouver island adds
another gruesome chapter to the hor
rible story of the Valencia wreck cf
last January. The skeletons were
found in Carmanah cave, and investi
gations of the trinkets and wearing
apparel of the victims identified them
as among those who were lost wi>h the
I ill-fated vessel. Apparently a huge
wave carried a boat load into the cave
and they wers probably so weak thai
they could not get out over the great
boulders which guard its entrance.
They we.-e undoubtedly starved to
death.

CHERE is no better land in the famous White River Valley than this, and
there is very little as good, Rich deep soil, School, Store and Postoflic?
all being on the ground. Can go to Seattle or Tacoma any hour ij the day.
The land will double in value before last payment has to be made. The Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad is going through the land and two other roads
seeking an entrance to Seattle will almost be compelled to go through the land,
making five roads in all. and it is only a matter of a very short time when all
the valley will be taken for Railroad par|?oses, Factories, Machine Shops and
Faim Sites and become very valuable. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY,
YOU CAN'T MISS IT. We are making a low price, considering the land
and giving easy. See John W. Troy or I. M. Jensen at this office for terms etc.
