EARLY RETURNS GIVE
GRIGSBY SAFE LEAD
If early returns from the various
| sections of Alaska may be regard ec
'as indicative of the general resull
i of the delegate election held yes
terday Attorney-General George B
! Grigsby, Democratic candidate, will
be Alaska's next representative ai
(Washington. With all the principal
precincts reported, the Democratic
i candidate has a lead of considerably
over 500 over Jones, the Labor can
didate, and the belief is general ir
1 Democratic circles that the final
1 count will give Grigsby a majority
i of one thousand.
; The Nome section is the only one
thus far reported which gives Jones
! a majority. At the time the Nome
report was filed, returns had beet:
.received from seven outlying pre
cinets, with seven still to hear from
The race in Xenana was a dost
| one, Grigsby receiving only sever
majority. Of the forty-seven vote;
cast at 35-Mile, the Democratic
candidate received twenty-seven anc
Jonss an even twenty.
The Xenana vote was nearly
twice as big as that of Fairbanks
indicating "that but little interesi
was taken in the election in the
upper town. All but three of the
one hundred votes reported were
cast for Grigsby, indicating that
Wickershamites kept away from the
! polls and that the labor vote oi
Fairbanks has dwindled to very
small proportions.
Eleventh-hour campaigning on the
i part of local supporters of the Dem
ocratic candidate saved the day fo;
* Grigsby in Xenana. The two can
didates ran very close throughout
the day, and the Jones votes ar

SUED TODAY
The steamer Shusana sailed foi
Fairbanks at noon today with £
little freight consigned to the A. E
C. :.t Chena, and some for Fair
(banks merchants.
On her way up she probably will
pick up the iron, etc., salved froir
the sunken barge near “Eat-'em-up’
Frank's place and land it also at
Chena.
The Shusana's return to Xenant
is problematical, and will depenc
. entirely on the business offering.

■
riving at the polls late in the day
undoubtedly would have given Jones
a lead but for the hasty rounding
up of needed Democratic support.
The showing made by Jones is
considered remarkable, in view of
the fact that he is unknown to a
great majority of the voters of
Alaska, and to the further fact
that there was little time for cam
paigning in his behalf.
The vote polled at Anchorage
and outlying precincts was less than
half of the vote cast in November,
and at Nome unfavorable weather
conditions interfered considerably
with the election, although both par
ties were very active and the cam
paign was productive of much mud
slinging. The fight for Jones was
led by the Nome Nugget and Tom
Gaffney, formerly a member of the
territorial legislature.

WATERFRONT TO
BE MADE SECURE
Arrangements are now being
made by the Alaskan Engineering
Commission to take in hand the
work of filling in the waterfront
with gravel, and it is expected that
actual operations will be commenced
in a few days.
| The early taking in hand of this
work and the progress made with it
i depends largely on the labor avail
able. The commission is short of
men and all applicants for work
! are being put on the payrolls as
fast as they come in, and it is
.thought that a gang of sufficien:
i strength to undertake this work,
j without seriously crippling some
! other important branch of the sum
| mer’s construction program, can be
j organized within the next few days.
The A. E. C. proposes to run a
i temporary railroad along the water
; front, and to use the Brown hoist
'I with the orange-peel bucket to
dredge the river and make the nec
i essary fill above the riprapping.
When a larger labor force be
comes available it is quite probabie
that gravel cars will be hauled ir
and the waterfront filled in to gradt
level.

NEW MODEL CAFE IS
NEARING COMPLETION
The new building which will, when
completed, house the Model cafe
Fairbanks has reached a very ad
vanced stage of completion, and it
is expected that it will soon be
ready for occupancy, and will be
the best of its kind in Fairbanks.
A new departure in the way of
booths for ladies and parties raa
been decided on, and the work of
putting in light structures for this
purpose is now under way. The old
Model cafe did not possess any
booths or boxes.

SCOW REIURNING !'
FROM KAMA
FOR SUPPLIES:
The big power scow owned and ,
operated by Charles McGonagal,
which passed through Xenana on j
May 29th, loaded to the guards ]
with supplies, men and horses,
bound for the Kantishna country,1
. arrived in port last night on her
way to Fairbanks for another load
of supplies.
The supplies, horses and men she j
took up were landed safely at the!
spot on the Kantishna river select
ed for the purpose, and they prob
able are now encamped near the
.big galena ledge on the end of the
ridge that divides the Friday creek
I basin from that of Eureka creek.
The ledge in question is owned
, by Joe Quigley and associates, and
Jan option on it has been taken by
• Thomas P. Aitken. The party land-1
: ed recently front the scow was!
jsent in there by Mr. Aitken for
:the purpose of opening up the mine.
| The ledge is known to carry front
i S130 to S600 in silver per ton, j
j besides a large percentage of lead ]
and some gold, and big things are I
! expected from the mine which is I
j about to be developed in this re-j
jgion.
I The scow probably will be back j
jin Nenana on the return journey I
i to the Kantishna in a few days.
