Victoria, it was decided to await
her arrival to send out the ex
cursion train to Summit, which was
accordingly done and a big crowd
of sight-seers went over the W.

LAST RUSSIAN STRONGHOLD IN
POUND IN DANGER OF CAPTURE
Berlin, August 19—Late advices j
from the Eastern battlefrout are
to the effect that the Austro-Ger
man armies are pushing forward de
terminedly to capture Brest Lito
vsk, this place being the 'ast
Russian stronghold in Russian-Po
land, and that the Russians are
r»tr«ati»g further along the Bug
river, east of Warsaw. This would
indicate that the Russians intend
to give up this important position •
and railway center without making
the determined stand which It was
believed they would against the
Germans at this point.
It is also taken as an indication
that the Germaji forces are steadi
lv advancing along the Bug river
to Brost, having been reported 40
mil°s from there two days ago.
The capture of the forts north'
of Novomgeorgievsk by the Germans
was officially announced in this city
today.

SAVED CUT FROM DESTRUCTION

Galveston, August 19—The great
sea wall that was constructed In
this city after the destruction
caused by the tidal wave of a
few yours ago saved a repetition of
tha* disaster ou Wednesday when
the fierce hurricane from the gulf
swep* over the Texas coast, Four
t«en lives are known to have been
lost in this vicinity, but the pro
perty damage is not nearly so large
as at first estimated it would be,
and will not probably amount to
more than $300,000. Relief steam
ers have arrived with supplies and
the pressing need now is for drink
ing water.
Houston, August 19 — Two
steamers were dispatched to Gal
veston from this city today with
relief parties and supplies.
Washington, D. C., August 19—
A provost guard has been ordered
to Galveston to protect the govern
ment property there from looters,
who are reported to be getting ac
tive.
The hunting season opened last
Sunday and the woods will be full
of hunters for the next two months.
All should be careful to not shoot
at anything until they are certain it
is not a man.
The annual toll of deaths dur
ing the hunting season has assumed j
appalling proportions in many of'
the states, but heretofore Alaska j
has escaped from adding to this
deathlist.
It 's to be hoped that all hunt
ers will observe due precautions
and that no accidental &hooting will
be reported from any section of
the territory.

MOKE EQUIPMENT FOR
COPPER RIVER RAILROAD
Cordova Times: There will be
more activity on the Copper River
& Northwestern railway during the
coming winter than at any previous
tima during this season, which will
require additional equipment and
the employment of more train
| crews.
This is due to the fact that the
I Kennecott mines are to continue
working a full force throughout tha
I year, in order to market as much
! copper as possible. In order to
I handle this output during the win
ter months the railroad will tiave
' to increase its rolling stock.
Under the present plans another
snow fleet will be necessary, and
I this will necessitate the purchase of
another rotary plough, tow pusher
engines, one local engine and moro
[ flat cars. This means the em
ployment of additional train crews.
