Sensational disclosures as a result
of the court martialing of a corporal

of explosives from Juneau was in

Some days ago the United States
marshal's office at Juneau investigat
ed the local gun stores At. one
place in Juneau an army revolver and
several rounds of ammunition were
found. The dealer very promptly
gave the officials all the data neces
sary to trace the sale to a corporal
from Fort Seward then in Juneau.
»The commanding officer was immedi
ately advised by wire, and an investi
gation disclosed an inner circle of I.
\V. W. workers in the army barracks.
It is believed that part of the ex
plosives shipped front Juneau have
not been located, and that there was
a plot on the part of the 1. \V. W.’s
to desert and blow up important mills

is also intimated that sufficient evi

Thomas Riggs, ,y .. one of the three
members of flip Alaska Engineering
I commission, arrived in Cordova lest
j night from XenunaT and is on his way
j to Washington to confer with Secre
| tarv of Interior Lane on government
! railroad construction in the interior
I next year. Mr. Riggs does not antici
j pate that any difficulty will be ex
| perienced in getting the necessary
i appropriation to rush the work now
I under way.
I As a railroad builder and an execu
j bility,
having made” much headway under
j conditions that have been anything
| hut favorable Last April he began
laying steel, which arrived on the last
boat in September, 1916, and in face
of floods, labor disturbances, uncer
tainty of appropriations, and inability
to get materials ho has completed
thirteen miles of the road to the south
of Nenana, reballasted and overhaul
ed the twelve miles of the Tanana Val
ley railroad between Fairbanks and
Happy station that is to form part
of the main line, and in the remain
ing 44 miles between Fairbanks and
Nenana all clearing has been complet
ed. All grading has been completed
to 43 miles south of Nenana and
every-thing is ready for the rails
Mr. Riggs has promised the peo
ple of Fairbanks coal from the Lig
nite coal fields, 57 miles south of Ne
nana, by the fall of 1918, but since
the war has greatly curtailed the
source of materials necessary to the
construction it is a question wheth
er he will he able to keep his prom
ise or not. The working season is
so short that to be of any use for
next season materials must be on
the ground before the freeze-up this
season.
During July of the past summer
when a general strike threatened to
tie up the whole interior operation
Mr. Riggs proved, beyond a doubt,
by bringing a permanent, harmon
ious working organization out of
chaos that he is an executive of ex
ceptional ability.
The Democratic organization of the
Territory, as well as many promin
ent residents of Alaska who are not
members of that political party, have
endorsed Mr Riggs as governor to
succeed the present incumbent, Ma
jor J. F. A. Strong, whose term has
expired. An unofficial report has
been published to the effect that the
appointment will be made next month
and President Wilson will name
Thomas Riggs, Jr.
