COAST RAIL HEAD
REACHED IN 8 DAYS
J. C. Ensley, well known Ne
nanaite, who left for the Outside
over the Broad Pass trail, writing
to an acquaintance in Nenana says
that he made the end of. steel of
the coast end of the line in eight
days’ travel from Nenana.
Ensley left Nenana on July 21st
and carried a pretty heavy pack,
containing grub, etc. He says he
passed “Doc” Ehlen and Mike Hy
land four days out from Nenana.
The trail, he says, was in good con
dition and he had a fine trip all
the way through.
The communication which gives
the above news was written on
board the S. S. Alaska at Seward,
shortly before the vessel sailed for
the States.
Mr. and Mrs. Cecil H. Clegg ar
rived in Nenana today on the steam
er Yukon. They are on their way
to Fairbanks for the winter from
Hot Springs and will transfer to

SOCIALISTS ARE
MUCH OPPOSED
10 JjUN PEACE
BERNE.—Details received here of
the reecnt national conference at
Vienna of the German Social-Demo
cratic party of Austria show that a
strong protest was made against the
Austro-German domination of Russia
and Rumania, and a new and liber
alized peace formula was presented.
This is one of the powerful organi
zations of Austria and the national
confereence was attended by repre
sentatives of all branches of indus
try from lower and upper Austria
and from the Alpine regions and the
south. The resolutions recite:
“The national congress of the
German Social Democratic party of
Austria protests against the Brest
Litovsk and the Bucharest treaties
as contrary to the principle of peace
of understanding without annexa
tion and contributions.
“TVio pnrurroac tVi oriifnro dirnianr)
that, before the ratification of these
peace treaties, they be laid before
the parliament for examination and
amendment.
“The national congress demands
that the governments of the Central
Powers offer general peace to the
governments of the Entente on the
following bassis:
“1. Establishment of a league of
peoples of all countries which will
carry out general disarmament and
settle all disputes between peoples
by courts of arbitration.
“2. Abandonment of all annexa
tion and contributions, not only in
the West and South, but also in the j
East and Southeast. (Not only as j
to Belgium, France, Serbia and Italy
but also as to Russia and Rumania.
33. The border states separated!
from Russia shall be given full right :
of self determination.’^ Half col-1
umn suppressed by censor.)
Even in the mutilated form that
the resolutions came across the fron
tier they indicate^ the strong oppo
sition of this powerful industrial I
element and an urgent wish for
peace.
Another resolution after ^describ
ing the general state of excitment
among the working classes, councils
them not to provoke a general strike
at present* but to get ready for the
decisive fight” ahead between capital
and labor, which it calls “the great j
fight.”
The government is severely critic- j
ised for the food regulations, the |
resolutions declaring that “the upper i
classes have never been subjected to
equality in economic sacrifice- They
have escaped the privations of the j
war partly by exceptional regula
tions working in their favor and
partly by circumventing the law, J
and partly by clandestine purchase
of food supplies, thus leaving the1
poor class to bear the burden."

According to H. B. Parkin, who!
recently visited the Iditorad coun- i
try, although it is very quiet there j
at the present time, the season has i
been good and he thinks that the
gold output will amount to quite a! |
much as that of last season.
The Yukon Gold company, Beaton j
& Donnelly and the Riley Invest-'
ment company worked their dredges!
through the season and employed i
large gangs of men. All of them i
took out quite a substantial sum of j
money.
A1 Walsh and associates, working ■
the Summit Association claims, are I
laid to have taken >ut $80,000 in !
told in their first cleanup in the 1
spring. They have had a good
season. J

The Yukon Gold company has
sractically worked out -11 of the
rround they had lays on in the Flat
■reek district. They -xpect to finish
ill of it by this fall, and it is re
sorted that they will d- smantle their
)ig dredge and ship it out of (he
listrict.
THAI FIRE DEPARTMENT
—
The Kaiser said in the early day
When Uncle Sam first went into
the fray:
“Why shoud we fear the Yankee
troops?
Can they cross the se^i without boats
or sloops?
And if they should cross and hope
to win,
Pouf! We could beat their army
with ease,
Even if it could cross the seas—
With the fire department of our
Berlin.”
And then, as the fray begins to
thicken,
Enter the wild, untamed marine.
Who loves a fight as a coon loves
chicken; f
Fights all day with no rest between;
Gets up at night to seek a fight,
Stays up to fight with all his might;
And over the top theyre wading in!
O, Kaiser B , it appears to me,
\ ou soon should summon—-since
others flee—
That fire department of your Berlin.
The bold Bavarian with precision
Launched its men on the Yankee
band.
And it was a badly chewed division
That legged it back across No Man’s
Land;
The Saxon’s next; then the Prussian
Guard, ,
Tackled the bunch, but found it
hard—
Perhaps it is time, good kaiser, now
Since the ranks of your Prussian
Guardsmen bow.
To blow on your whistle and sum
mon in
That fire department of your Berlin.
It might be well that you hurry i|p,
For the wild marine is upon his way
And neither Hindenburg, you nor
Krupp,
Can postpone the approaching day
When they will sweep with triumph
ant din,
Over the Rhine, and on, and in—
And then you’ll need, and you’ll
need indeed,
To summon with hottest haste and
speed.
That fire department of your Berlin.
A new wireless station of great
power has been established at the
Naket Inlet cannery. Business can
be transacted from this station with
any part of the world by relaying
the messages.
War is an ugly thing, but a Ger
man peace is uglier—Russian farm
ers are producing German food.
| HANGING REPLACES
RIFLES IN MEXICO
CHIHUAHUA CITY.—Hanging
| has replaced firing squad executions
in northern Mexico. General Fran-'
cisco Murguia prefers the rope to
the bullet for disposing of con
demned men as he says it saves
ammunition, which is difficult to
obtain. When General Murguia's
troops capture the bandits who burn
trains and loot towns he orders them
strung up to the nearest telegraph
poles. Passengers arriving here
from the south recently reported
having seen 3f> bodies hanging from
telegraph poles along the Mexican
Central railroad.
When Villa last attacked the state ;
capital here. General Murguia or-!
idered more than 100 of Villa’s par
j tisans within the city hanged to
| the cottonwood trees in the Alameda.
Last week a paymaster of the army
who wras short in his accounts was
found hanging form a limb on one
of the principal streets.
