Premier Lyons made his appeal to the electors on the record of his ad-minis ration in bringing about a re-stcra'icn cf business throughout Australia. It was a record which called forth general commendation on the out.side. but those closer up appeared to find more ground for criticism, wi'li the result the elec'ion was closer than was generally expected.

TOWN OF NOME WIPED OUT BY FIRE AND TWO RESIDENTS KILLED
Vancouver, Sept. 18�The town of None was wiped out by fire today with a property loss of S2,-000,000, and two residents lost their lives. The fire started in the Golden Gate hotel and despite the desperate efforts of the firemen to check it by dynamiting-buildings it was carried from one structure to another until all but two buildings were destroyed. Nome was for years the center of the moving events in the geld rush to the Yukon and Alaska. At one time it had a summer population of 25,000, but in later years its winter residents have not numbered more than 1,500. With but two buildings left the residents have been rendered virtually homeless and there is said to be provisions available for but ten days or two weeks at the outside. Ships sailing from Seattle and Vancouver will take previsions north, a distance of approximately 2400 miles, but there will be no starvation as emergency rations can be sent in by planes from various points in Alaska.
