lingham OF Vermont called at the
White House this morning to reppor;
the result Of the Alaskan trip Of the
senatorial committee. An official re-
port will be made to the senate. Dill
lingham's views indicate that strong
pleas will be made for better trans

government should furnish all the
money needed to build good highways
and maintain them. He says that
such action will bring immense re-
turns. The money can be paid back
at any time as Alaska is able to pay
for all her needs and will willingly
do so if the government will do the
work. The money advanced will in
no sense be a gift.

RUTH BRYAN HAPPY
WfDS TOMORROW
The Man Of Her Choice. Poor Artist
of Newport-Overcame Op-
position.

Lincoln. Neb. Oct. 2.-ThiS was a
happy day for Miss Ruth Bryan. In
the first place it was her eighteenth
birthday. the day On which she be
comes her own mistress, and natur-
ally a day of great rejoicing for any
young woman. But a still more po-
tent cause contributed to the happi-
ness Of Miss Bryan. It was the eve
of her wedding day, for tomorrow she
is to become the bride of William
Homer Leavitt, an artist who came
from the east and won the heart OF
the fair western girl while painting
the portrait Of her father Colonel
Bryan.
The happiness of Miss Bryan is not
lessened in looking forward to the
felicitous event OF tomorrow, by con
templating what might have been,
for. as has become publicly known,
both Col. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan
were at first opposed to their daugh-
ter's wedding and, in fact, stoutly re-
fused to give their consent. The prln-
cipal cause of their opposition was
the youth of the bride-to-be. But
Miss Bryan inherits the irmness and
strength of character possessed by
her father and after vainly trying to
get her parents consent boldly an
nounced that with or without it she
was determined to marry the man OF
her choice on the very day she be-
came her own mistress.
But the determination of the young
woman was not to be put to the su-
preme test. Both Col. Bryan and his
wife relented and after a few more
opportunities from their daughter
and from her fiance the parents de-
cided that they were not at all op-
gladly bestow the parental blessing
on the couple This is why Miss Bry-
an is so happy today. Surrounded
by relatives and friends who have
gathered from far and near she is
celebrating her birthday in the midst
of great preparations for the we'd
ding day. The ceremony is scheduled
to take place tomorrow noon at
Fairview, the home of the Bryans.
