Reports from General Randall, who is in command of the mil- itary department of Alaska, indicates that great suffering will be the fate of stranded miners at Nome and other places. The situation is de- scribed as worse than that of two years ago, when the War Department expended $200,- 000 in relieving the distress of the miners. Secretary Root is considering an estimate which he may have to send to Congress in December for aid necessary to theose in distress. It is likely that the amount asked of Congress will be fully $300,000. General Randall says it is not merely a lack of funds which embarrasses the authorities in Alaska, but the difficulties of purchasing sup- plies and transporting the men.

Growers not in the assoclation are in a rather embarrassing position, according to statements made. Buyers and driers who are not In_the combine are diffident about buying. They are waiting for prices to be fixed. Some crops are ready to be harvested. Growers who belong to the association can deliver to their own driers and secure advances to meet current ex- penses.
