LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12.—J. L.
Timmons of Fairbanks, is in the
city and declares that the people
cf Alaska should exert every effort
to secure the passage of a bill that
was introduced last Saturday. It
exempts Quartz and placer miners
from doing representat’on work
this year, because, of many leaving
the northern territory to join the
colors of their native lands. Mr.
Timmons says this bill is a boon to
Alaskan miners. It was referred to
the committee on public lands. It
is said that Senator Pittman is
rather lukewarm on the measure, as
he can scarcely see the necessity for
its passage at this time. The com
mittee has asked for an opinion as
to the advisability of the passage of
the. bill from General Land Commis
sioner Tallman. He suggests expres
sions from the newspapers m
Juneau, Cordova, Valdez, Seward,
Nome and Fairbanks.

credit at one time of more than
5000. A change was made to in
crease the amount to $1,000, but
yesterday afternoon the President
vejoed the bill. He gave as his
reason that the new measure con
tained a clause that repealed a sec
tion. of the new banking law.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12—Yester

left for Cornish N. H., where, he
will enjoy a few days of rest and

tion. He will not be disturbed with

most important nature.

sight a public mass meeting of citi
zens was held to take action on the
request for an expression on the bill
offered by Representative. Johnson to
exempt quartz and placer miners
from doing their assessment or
representation work for this year.
They protested against this exemp
tion, maintaining that no unusual
eonditions existed in Alaska that
would warrant the request for the
passage of this measure. The meet
ing further considered the bill intro,
duce.d by Delegate Wickersham pro
viding for a commission form of
government to conduct the federal
business of the territory. By prac
tically unanimous vote they pro
tested against the passage of this
bill, denouncing it as an attempt to
foist something similar to the oid
Beveridge bill on the people of
Alaska.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 12.—This
morning President Carranza an
nounced that General Villa was in
entire harmony with and subordi
nate to the present government. Nor
mal conditions are gradully be'ng
resumed in this city and the resi
dents are, again at peace. And among
Mexicans today, not only here, but
throughout the different states, the
Americans stand higher than ever
before; higher than do people of any
other foreign nationality. The
truth is out, now that Huerta has
gone. One finds, at every turn, that
the Mexicans approve of the plan
which the United States has fol
lowed in Mexico. When Huerta
killed Madero the, common people of
Mexico wrere unutterably shocked,
but Huerta silenced them. It was
with secret joy that millions of
Mexicans learned that Huerta would
not be recognized by the United
States.
SEATTLE, Sept. 9.—General pri
maries were held yesterday through
out the state. In the Republican
ranks there %vas no opposition to the
renomination of Wesley L. Jones Tor
United States senator. There was a
big fight on in the Democratic party
over the office of senator. The vote
is close between George Turner,
Judge Black and George Cotterill.
The probabilities are that neither
will have enough to nominate and
that Black will win because of his
large number of second choice votes.
It will probably take two days to de
cide the contest. For the Progres
sive nomination for senator it looks
as though Ole Hanson was defeated
by J. A. Falconer, at present a repre
sentative in Congress. For Congress,
in the First District, W. E. Hum
phreys Is renominated by the Re
publicans: J. W. Bryan by the pro
gressives aiid W. H. Moore by the.
Democrats. They are all from
Seattle. For sheriff of King County
[the nominees are John W. Roberts,
Republican, and Bob Hodges, pro
gressive. For prosecuting attorney
the successful candidates are Fred
1C. Brown, Republican; I. Nelson,
Democrat and Alfred Lundin, Pro
gressive.
JUNEAU, Sept, 9.—The Demo
crats of the First Judicial division
