WHITEHORSE HOME IS DESTROYED
(Special to The Dally Alaskan)
WHITEHORSE, Y. T. Nov. 11? Fira
yesterday ufternoon completely de
stroyed the home of George arm
strong. Mrs. Armstrong was at a
presumably from the explosion of an
tiir tight heater.
When discovered the flames had
made such headway that the house
and none of the contents could be
saved and only desperate efforts upon
the part of the firemen saved the
nearby residence of J. M. Murray
from destruction.
. The total loss to the Armstrongs
will bo close to $3,500. The building
was Insured for $1,000. Among the
contents of the building was a hand
some piano and cut glass valued at
$400, fine and costly pictures, cloth
ing and furniture valued at $2,000.
Capt. pope, chief engineer of the
Vlaska Road commission, who arrived
n town from Haines on the Jefferson
ind sailed south on the same boat,
stated to The Alaskan that he dl<1
lot anticipate that the Road coinmls
mio would do much new work next
lummer.
"When congress granted the Alas
ka Road commission $350,000 last
vinter," said Capt. Pope, "it was
lone on condition that we would ask
or no more appropriations for two
?ears. Of course we will get suf
ficlent funds for malntalnance work,
but outside of that little new work
will be done. Our chief work will
be on the Valdez-Pairbanks highway,
for which there is still money avail
able."
Capt. pope stated that It was quite
possible that the discovery at the
Iditarod might influence congress in
granting an appropriation sufficient
to complete a good trail to the new
diggings, provided there was a like
lihood of a big stampede In the
spring.
POPULIST LEADER PREDICTS WAR
ATLANTA, Ga. Nov. 3 ? Asserting
hat an armed clash between Federal
md State courts "has got to come
ooner or later," Thomas E. Watson,
everal times the Populist nominee
or President of the United States,
n a letter to States Attorney-Oen
;ral Hart, advocates armed resistance
>n the part of the state authorities
n resisting a writ of habeas corpus
ssued by a Federal court for a pri
soner in the custody of a State court
The letter of Mr. Watson said in part
"The people of this country are
:onslderably wrought up agaiust the
federal Judges. There Is more pro
ound hatred of the Federal judiciary,
?specially of the lower courts, than
)f any any institution in America."
Deriding the idea that Federal
roops would be sent to enforce the
orders of a Federal court in a case
of *iat kind, the letter continues:
"President Taft knows as well as
I do that Socialism is sweeping this
country like a prairie fire, and that
there is an army of nearly -tow.OOO
banded together, true to the organ
ization which their leaders have made
and that those men are thirsting for
an opportunity to come into collision
with the Federal army. That Is one
reason why Taft and Roosevelt are
so eager to increase the number of
Federal troops."
