Revised Western Rules.

Chicago, Jan. I8-The revised western
football rules, over which Professors A.
A. Stagg of Chicago university and H,
H. Everett of the University of Illinois
have been poring for more than mon h,
were sent out after final conference 70.
day. The rules must now be submitted
to the seven universities which united in
appointing the committee.
Alterations in the rules are less sweep
ing than many anticipated. The vital
change is that radically altering the pres.
ent system of scoring. The goal after a
touchdown is slated to count for only one
additional point, the drop kick for four
the place kick for three and the safety
for two.
There is no requirement for seven men
in the line, bui it is provided that If two
line men are drawn back of the line, they
shall be outside of the line of scrimmage
Another safeguard against roughness is
that imposing distance penalty for lay
ing hands on opponents before the ball
is put into play. An important altera'
ton also is that permitting to the side
scored on the choice of kickoff.
Other changes suggested are in defn'
ing the safety, allowing fifteen yards in.
stead of ten on the kick.out after kick
for goal on the first down, permitting
only two minutes of time taken out fol
injuries and modifying the penalty impo'
sitions when the ball is close to the goa
| line. The committee reserves severa
suggestions on duties of officials, which
will be submitted if the committee is
| continued.

that the next twenty years will wit
ness as great development of Alaska

that period. When Horace Greeley adj
vised the young mon of this country

he ventured the prediction that within

ton and wealth OF the state could he

that the same will apply to Alaska. To
be sure, the agricultural resources
which we have here are there lacking,
but they have the wealth, and that will
