LoC issue · American Stories revision 77e27fa6

Same LoC scan for 4 of 4 pages.

18 American Stories boxes lie inside another of its boxes (p. 1: #38 and #39 inside #20; p. 1: #8 inside #33; p. 2: #25, #26, #27, #28, #30, #32 and #33 inside #19; p. 3: #42 inside #28; p. 3: #43 inside #11; p. 4: #19, #21, #22 and #23 inside #10; p. 4: #20 and #24 inside #11). Nothing in AS's data marks or explains it: its layout detection boxed the same print twice (a column and an item in it, say) and both were OCR'd and published as articles. We compare every AS article as published; where both copies fall inside one of our components, the shorter is set aside and counted once as text AS has twice, not as another article.

Scorecard

Each comparison starts from a snewpapers component. "=" means both systems drew the same article. Where they differ, a language model, shown only the text, was asked which is right, twice, with the two claims stated in each order.

Unsure: the verdict changed when the two claims were stated in the other order, or no valid answer came back. Neither: the model found both segmentations wrong. Page furniture: the text was a line or two that could be a title, section title or the like, which one system leaves out by design, so it decides nothing.

How this was scored

Every comparison is anchored on a snewpapers component and the American Stories boxes inside it. Where those boxes belong to several AS articles (or several of our components lie inside one AS article), the model was shown the passage as the numbered pieces and asked whether it is one component, several or mixed, twice, with the two beliefs stated, unattributed, in each order. A verdict that changed with the order is unstable and counts for neither side. AS text inside none of our components was asked whether it is advertisements, terms or page furniture, which snewpapers leaves out on purpose. Where AS attaches text outside one of our components (text of an AS article our component otherwise has), the model was shown our component's text and the attached text and asked whether the text belongs to the component, twice, the two beliefs stated in each order: "separate" means snewpapers is right, "belongs" American Stories. Where two AS articles inside one of our components hold the same text (the shorter sharing at least 50% of its 4-word phrases with the longer), the longer is kept and the text counted as duplicated by American Stories; so is attached text another AS article also holds. Where American Stories has a line or two of our component (at most 12 words and 5% of its area) in another AS article while one article holds the rest, the line is no split: the model was shown the rest of the AS text and the line and asked whether the line belongs to the component, both ways; "belongs" means snewpapers is right and judges only the article holding the line wrong (lines in another AS article). One AS article counts as a match only when the two cover each other, both ways: AS text covers at least 90% of our component, and our component at least 90% of that AS article's text. Coverage is measured line by line down each column (how much of its height the other side's boxes span, so a centred headline narrower than its column still counts). Under 90% the first way, the component is partly captured by AS (the rest in no AS box, or marked illegible): not asked, an AS error by the geometry, its AS article judged wrong (AS articles missing part of ours). Under 90% the second way, the AS article runs on beyond our component into other text: that text is asked about as text attached outside, and "separate" judges the AS article wrong (AS articles running on into other items). Decisions are the unit counted above; the last table counts what they judged: an as_split decided "one" is one decision and every AS article inside our component judged wrong, an N ours : 1 AS decided "several" one decision and each of our N components judged right (an article or component judged both ways by different decisions counts in both rows). AS errors count what the decisions for snewpapers found American Stories got wrong, next to those decisions: an N ours : 1 AS is N errors, the N items of ours AS failed to separate (items AS merged), a 1 ours : N AS N errors, the N AS fragment articles. A component inside an N ours : 1 AS (its AS text a slice of the merged article) is counted in the components table by that decision's outcome. A component running over pages is one comparison across them (American Stories never links an article across pages): its AS articles on all its pages, labelled by page, are the pieces asked about, once; it counts once among our components, and a decision for snewpapers judges every one of those AS articles wrong, each a fragment article.

How to read this

Each group is the same crop of the scan twice: snewpapers' boxes on the left, American Stories' on the right. The group's own boxes are outlined in red. Groups are in page position order (column by column), not reading order. A component can appear twice: in its own case and in an N ours : 1 AS group. Text of a component's own AS articles printed outside the component is left out of the comparison and shown beneath the group as "American Stories also attaches: «…» (outside this component)".

1:1 match	the AS text inside our component (boxes, or the slices of boxes it overlaps) all belongs to one AS article (or to several that duplicate one another: American Stories duplicated the text)
1 ours : N AS	the AS text inside our component belongs to several AS articles: one component or several?
N ours : 1 AS	two or more of our components lie inside one AS article (80% or more of each, or 50% or more with a slice of the article): one component or several?
in N ours : 1 AS	all the AS text inside our component is a slice of an AS article that holds other components of ours too: no agreement (the slice is cut along our boundaries, not AS's); decided by that N ours : 1 AS
continued	a later page of a component of ours running over pages: compared, asked and decided once, across its pages, in the group on its first page
ours only	no AS box overlaps our component enough to give it a slice: not captured by American Stories
AS only	AS text inside none of our components (one AS article's): left out on purpose, or missed?
AS only, tiny	AS text inside none of our components, under 20 characters: not asked
AS only, no text	an AS article inside none of our components with no text at all (AS boxed it but read nothing, most often marking it illegible): nothing to ask, counted for neither side
1:1, AS partial	the AS text inside our component all belongs to one AS article, but AS has text for under 90% of our component, measured line by line (the rest is in no AS box, or AS marked it illegible): partly captured by American Stories, not asked; its AS article counts as an AS error
1:1, AS article wider	one AS article holds our component, but runs on beyond it into other text (our component covers under 90% of the article's text, measured line by line): the text it runs into is asked about, and decides it

MAKING EXTENSIVE

SURVEY OF DISTRICT

L. F. Paddison, the Boston Mining Engineer and repre- sentative of the U. s. Smelling and Refining Company, who arrived here some time ago on a tour of inspection, will re- main in Hyder another week before returning South.

MT Paddison is giving the dis trict a general looking over. During the past two weeks he has visited the Premier, B. C.. Silver and other prominent properties in the Salmon Riv- CT valley, and has also inspect ed the Dunwell, Glacier Creek and others in the Bear River district.

Being a representative of one of the largest mining concerns in the country, MT. Paddison's s presence here denotes that his company is not only inter- ested in this district but is al so keeping an eye on develop ment.

LATEST REPORTS OF NATIONAL ELECTIONS

New York, Nov. 5—On basis of incomplete returns from yesterday's election, President Coolidge has a commanding plurality in 20 states, mostly in the east and middle west, having an aggregate electoral vote of 273, and is leading in 13 other states.

Davis, democratic candidate, carried only the Democratic South but was leading in Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee and New Mexico.

Lafollette, independent, was leading only in his home state of Wisconsin, although his managers insisted his full strength had not yet been shown. Lafollette headquarters concedes Iowa to Coolidge and the president also was leading in Wisconsin and California. The number of electoral votes needed to elect a president is 266.

Republican managers were claiming a landslide that might eclipse Harding's 1920 victory but the democrats were conceding nothing. The totals in the day's voting indicate the greatest number of persons ever to vote in America went to the polls, it being indicated that approximately thirty million persons voted.

(Statement above that Coolidge was leading in Wisconsin evidently an error, report already having said Lafollette in lead.—Editor.)

New York, Nov. 5—The election of Republicans made new gains of 7 members in the House of Representatives, as results from more than half the districts of the country pour in. The Republicans also threaten to take three senate seats from the Democrats by Walsh of Massachusetts, Walton of Oklahoma and Stanley of Kentucky; and one from the labor party, Senator Magnus Johnson of Minnesota. In New York state Gov. Alfred E. Smith apparently has won reelection over Theodore Roosevelt, former assistant secretary of the navy, whose defeat has been conceded by the republicans. Roosevelt leads in the upstate districts but lost New York City. President Coolidge carried New York state by a large plurality. In two states, Texas and Wyoming, women candidates for governor were ahead on the basis of incomplete returns. Both are democrats.

WEEKLY MAIL SERVICE BY CANADIAN BOATS

In a telegram to Postmaster Oren F. Hill, Superintendent Vandervoort of the Alaska division of the Railway Mail Service, announces the inauguration of a once a week direct mail service between Seattle and Hyder by the Canadian boats.

The message, dated at Seattle Monday, stated that a pouch of first class mail for Hyder would be forwarded by the Grand Trunk Pacific boat every Monday, commencing November 3. Announcement was also made that a pouch of mail from Hyder would be taken by the Grand Trunk boats on their return trip south each week.

The new service means a vast improvement in local mail deliveries, as it insures delivery of practically all the first class mail sent or received by Hyder within a period of three days after dispatch. The message makes no mention of any change in the existing mail service via Ketchikan and it is presumed that the latter service will be continued as at present, although the mails will be largely confined to Alaska mail of all classes and second and third class matter from the States.

Mr. Hill says the order not only provides Hyder with vastly improved first class service with the outside but also permits the dispatch of mail via the Canadian route from the local postoffice, in the same manner as now sent by the American route, thereby doing away with the inconvenience of having to go to the Stewart dock whenever it is desired to mail letters by the Canadian boats and also removes the necessity of affixing Canadian postage stamps to mail matter. All one will need hereafter will be to attach required postage in American stamps and drop the letter in the postoffice, following exactly the same procedure in every respect as in the case of mail sent by the American boats. Incoming mail via the Grand Trunk will also be delivered through the local postoffice. Incoming mails will be received and outgoing mails will be dispatched every Thursday. The closing time for outgoing dispatches will be about one-half hour before sailing time.

The new service is also the result of efforts made to the postoffice officials by himself and Mrs. Hill. He states that he has endeavored at various times in the past to secure an interchange of mails between Stewart and Hyder with the same end in view and Continued Page No. 3

has also communicated with the department relative to forwarding mail by the Canadian lines direct. During the recent visit of the postal inspector, the matter was gone into thoroughly with that official. Mr. Hill says that during her present trip to the States, Mrs. Hill also took the matter up with the Seattle officials direct and personally interviewed Mr. Vandervoort, explaining to him the conditions and the advantages to be obtained through the dispatch of mail via the Grand Trunk route.

The present mining season has witnessed the largest measure of real development in the camp's history.

A brief survey of the summer's operations discloses that more money has been spent and more actual development accomplished than ever before.

Aside from the Premier, Riverside, Dunwell and Porter-Idaho, all of which may be properly classed as proven mines, active and carefully planned development operations have been conducted on more than a score of properties in various parts of the district. Most notable among the results of this increase of activity is the addition of the Daly-Alaska, Glacier Creek and Fraser groups to the list of properties which may be considered real mines. The Fraser group, although under operation only a small part of the summer, produced a considerable tonnage of high grade ore, while the recent discovery of large bodies of rich ore on both the Daly Alaska and Glacier Creek indicate with certainty that they will be included among the producing properties within a brief season.

Even at the present time, when the active prospecting period is practically over, there is a far wider range of mining activity than at any time in the past regardless of the time of year. Large scale development work is in progress on upward of a dozen properties, a major portion of which will be continued through all or the greater part of the winter season.

According to the latest information, winter operations will be in progress on the Daly-Alaska, Fish Creek, Hovland group, Terminus, United Empire (Gold Cliff), Silverado, Independence, Indian, Glacier Creek, North and South, B. C. Silver and possibly more, in addition to the Premier, Riverside and Dunwell, the latter two of which are expected to commence active production within a few weeks.

In view of the fact that until last fall there was only one producing mine in the district, the Premier, this is a splendid record of achievement, and shows in most striking manner what can be done when capital is applied to intelligent and systematic development work.

Gasoline stations are twice as thick as saloons used to be but there isn't the same kick in them.

Everything has its good points. Taking a deep breath for a long kiss develops a girl's lungs.

Merl Thomas asserts that if the physiological dictum that wearing few clothes makes the skin tough is true, some of those bathing beauties we see in the papers must have pretty tough hides.

A certain local married man declares that he can't make out why it is that a girl will encourage a man to stay out late before marriage and then raise the dickens if he does it after marriage.

Your salve is wonderful," wrote a lady to the patent medicine concern. "My cat got bit by a dog and lost part of her tail. I applied your salve and now I have six fine kittens.'

The mother of a local shaver caught him putting his thumb to his nose and wiggling his fingers at another boy. 'What do you mean by doing that?' she demanded. 'Aw, never mind, Ma,' the young hopeful replied. 'He knows what I mean all right.'

Two local men were returning home afoot along the Hyder-Stewart road after a convivial evening across the line. 'Say, listen,' said one, 'don't you hear footsteps behind us?'

Fairbanks was recently visited by the worst epidemic of robberies in the camp's history. Two robberies on Fifth Street netted the hold-ups $225 and $128, respectively.

According to a letter recently received at Juneau from General Passenger Agent McNichol of the Canadian National Railroad, that corporation will not put steamers on the Alaska run next year. The letter stated that his company had given the matter due consideration and had found it impossible to operate steamers in Alaskan waters next year but further stated that the year 1926 will find them in the field for business.

W. N. Beach, president of the Pennsylvania Cement Company, returned to Fairbanks recently from a hunting trip in the upper Tanana country. He wounded a big grizzly bear and as the animal charged him a second bullet stopped him four feet away, with Mrs. Beach grinding away on a moving picture camera.

Ed. Terrill, a pioneer, died recently at Fairbanks. He had been in the hospital for some time suffering from a paralytic stroke. Gangrene set in and one leg was removed to prevent the spread of the poison. He bore the operation well, but later began to sink until death came. The deceased came to Alaska in 1898 and never left the country. A graduate of Columbia University, he drifted to the North when the Dawson strike was made. He resided in Dawson for some years and then went to Fairbanks. For the last few years he operated a restaurant.

Fire which destroyed the four-story hotel used by the M & M Packing Company at Seldovia as quarters for its women employees and also as office and mess quarters, threatened for a time to destroy the entire plant. Only heroic work on the part of the townspeople saved the main saltery building and men's quarters. The loss is estimated at $20,000. The buildings will be rebuilt immediately.

RUMORED GOLD STRIKE AT NINE MILE

Reports of a gold strike in the vicinity of 9 Mile on the Salmon River road have been in circulation during the past few days. So far as could be ascertained the alleged discovery is the outgrowth of an earlier report to the effect that a small stringer of quartz containing free gold had been found by the employees of the Seims and Carlson road gang in a huge boulder encountered along the route of the new road now being constructed between 7 and 9 Mile. The boulder is said to have been broken up with powder, revealing the quartz. According to the report, several members of the road crew staked claims along the hillside following the discovery but up to the present no locations had been filed in the Recorder's office.
