 For Sander

The following letter explains it. self;
 To the Editor Daily Alaskan:
 Dear Sir.
 We, the undersigned members of the committee on public works and and Public Property, ot which w. w.. Boughton is chairman, wish to deny the statament made in tho Daily Guide of April 7th to the effect that Mir. Boughton fought to have an arc light at Third A enue and Broadway. On the contrary, he was the first mem- Der of the committee to advise the change to incandeseant lamps so that the lights could be more generally dis tributed throughout the city, and the change was made on his report and his recommendation to the council in which recommendation we concurred.

GETS BIG
Fairbanks Contains 20OO ln- h bitants More to Come

A statement recently made by Mayor Barnette and Clerk Spring of the city of Fairbanks claims a POpula- tion of 2OOO for the mining district of which their city is the center. They also say that the population is gaining in numbers very rapidly, and that the big companies are preparing for a population exceeding 5000 before next winter.
 If these estimates are approximately correct, Fairbanks is easily of first importance among the American towns in the interior.

PLEA FOR A PAROLE.
Effort Being Made in Behalf Of o.
6. Robinson.
From MONDAYS Daily.

from Mondays DAILY.
Effort is now being made to get David
G. Robinson, now serving term in the
state prison for the crime of forgery in
the second degree, out ON parole A pc
tition is being kept in the office of HI.
L. Schmitt, ready for any resident to
sign, asking the board of pardons to
commute the term of Robinson from
four wears and ten months to two years
and six months. Robinson has already
served about a year and half of his
sentence land the petitionif granted would
render his term more than half served
out. This would enable the prison board
to parole him out, thing that cannot
now be done as the major part of his
sentence still remains to be served. The
petition claims that Robinson has al
ready been sufficiently punished for his
crime and would now if he had the OPP
portunity pay back the money to the
persons he has wronged. RObinson's
friends claim that he is in very poor
health owing to his confinement. The
petition has already been signed by about
twenty prominent business and profess
sional men of the city.

PULLED FIRE ALARM BOX.
An Innocent RuraIis! Perpatrstes loke
on The Fire Boys.
From MONDAYS Daily.

Whether that farmer had fanciful
notion that he was going to send his let
ter instantaneously and by wire or mere
ly was trying to mail his missive in the
post box below by opening the fire box
above is uncertain At all events num-
Der of boys saw him drive with his rig
up to box 80, which is secured to a
telephone pole on the southeast corner
of Fifth and Hickory streets. Directly
below the alarm box is postoffice box
The glass of the alarm box happened
to be already broken, so it was an
easy matter for him to trun the key
and open the small door. Then perhaps
with some notion of opening an inner
door he pulled the lever. Instantly the
apparatus was set to work. He heard
the mysterious ticks, the bell ringing,
the whistle blow, and waited to hear no
more. Hastily jumping into his rig he
drove off and out of sight. In few
minutes the hook and ladder and hose
wagons from the central station were on
the scene and looking for the
fire. The boys explained the
farmers blunder, and the firemen
went back full of merriment over the
joke.

REL !GlOUS DOUBT AND
THE RESURRECTION.

cording to its own idiosyncrasies; still
there are some general remedies which
will cover most cases.
The first is more knowledge, for doubt
is often kindled through ignorance. 1t
is to meet this prime need that Jesus has
become our Teacher. knowledge is the
sine qua non of the noblest life. Are
you affected with tormenting doubt?
Then go deeper. Pearls do not float on
the surface, they lie at the bottom.
Secondly, do not ignore the divine
voice in your own soul. Although God
has spoken in Nature and Revelation yet
sometimes these fail to reach the heart,
while if we listen we can hear Him
speaking in our own interior life.
A third remedy is that of religious ac-
tivity. Many a man has dissolved his
doubts by preaching those very truths
concerning which he could find no intel
lectual gertrude. Many man has come
to believe in prayer by praying, and in
the saving power of the gospel by going
into the slums and seeking to rescue his
brother. He that doeth the Fathers will
shall know of the doctrine.
But doubt reaches its grandest
achievement when as in the case OF
Thomas it leads to faith in the person
and resurrection of Jesus. The apostle
seeing and touching the five atonement
scars exclaimed "My Lord and Cod"
Higher than this is the faith of the
spirit BLESSED are they that have not
seen and yet have believed" Such faith
we are to covet as one of the best gifts
Are you struggling with honest doubt?
Then / honor you, but remember that
doubt has no merit in itself except as it
leads to faith, anymore than the micro
scope has merit except as it reveals the
stars.
Do you doubt the Bible? Listen if
God is not speaking in the silence of your
soul.
Do you doubt Immortality? Live high
on the earth and you will come to believe
there is higher life beyond.
Do you doubt Jesus? Kneel before
him in lowly humility and you will be
compelled to exclaim "My Lord and my
God"

Several persons in this city have re-
ceived letters from friends in Seattle re-
Gently telling about divorce case be-
tween Mr. and Mrs. Frank Thayer, for
merly of AIankato, but who moved to
Seattle two or three years ago. One re-
port has it that Mr. Thayer brought the
action and the other is. that his wife
brought the action. The case was tried
March l4th.
Mr.. Thayer is said to have charged his
wife with infdelity and trying to kill
him, while on the other hand she is said
to have charged him with cruel and in
human treatment She demanded ST.
900 alimony.
Mrs. Thayer formerly resided at Ka-
sofa, and both she and her husband have
numerous friends who regret their trou-
bles.
The following account of the trial is
taken from Seattle paper:
The trial of the contested divorce suit
of Frank Thayer of Juneau, Alaska,
against his wife, Mrs. Minnie Thayer,
was begun in Superior Judge Griffith's
court this morning. Thayer charges his
wife, delicate looking young woman,
with cruelty and infidelity. He claims
that she has on several occasions tried
to kill him.
In her cross complaint Mrs. Thayer
alleges that her husband has abused her
and claims that the trouble between
them was caused by the interference of
Mrs. Eleanor Mowry, the plaintiffs sis
ter, in their domestic affairs. She de-
mands big alimony.
Thayer was on the witness stand all
the morning and testified bitterly against
his wife.
The community interests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thayer are large, as they own valu-
able property in Minnesota and Alaska.
Thayer is an architect and is engaged
in experimenting the building of the new
court house and jail in Juneau. He came
to Seattle recently and established a
residence for the purpose Of getting di-
vorce from his wife. The couple h9Te no

TALKING SECOR FAILURE.
Winnebago People Eeep!y interested
in Settlement of Affair.
From MONDAYS Daily.

>
While at Winnebago Friday the writ
er observed that one of the chief sub
jects of conversation was still the great
Secor failure. 1t is the opinion of the
better informed business men that if
given time Secor will eventually be able
to satisfy all claims, if creditors will be
patient. Settlements are going steadily
on at the rate, it is said, of about one a
day. The larger creditors as rule
do not get any cash but are receiving
satisfactory security. Settlements of
small amounts are being made in cash,
though we believe at discount. The
business Of Strengthening out the tangle
has been greatly retarded by reason
of the hard times of the past year and
consequent slow collections, and most
of the creditors of the bank are disposed
to grant Mr. Secor more time than he at
first thought he would require.
For the past four weeks Mr.. Secor
has been sick with la grippe and unable
to attend to business.-Fairmont SEN

The st. Peter Free Press says the To-
cal political atmosphere begins to crys-
talize and the several candidates begin
to line up according to what they con-
ceive to be to their best advantage in the
coming campaign.
1t seems to be conceded that Represen-
tative Peterson will be his own success
sor without opposition from the Repub-
licans. Auditor Freeman and Henry
Mol are also considered safe from oppo-
sition for another term. But then the
trouble begins. Treasurer Webster is of
course candidate for reelection, but
VIM. Wellner and VIM Peterson, both of
whom were candidates two years ago,
are again spoken of as in receptive
mood for another contest. Clerk of
Court Blomberg has already positive OPP
position in William Mallgren, and of
late C. L. Key is said to have decided
to try conclusions with Register of
Deeds Kettner, while Albert Block is
credited with the ambition to occupy the
county jail as sheriff.
This, it is believed, will group the
candidates as follows: Representative,
Ole Peterson, no opposition; auditor, A.
H. Freeman; judge of probate, Henry
Moll; treasurer, John Weber, VIM. Well
ner, VIM Peterson; clark of court, G.. A.

EFFECT AN ORGANIZATION.
City Superintendent Form an Associ-
alton in Minneapolis Saturday.

From Mondays Daily.
The Minnesota City Superintendents
association is now permanent organiza-
ton, and the ninety odd superintendent
of the high schools of the state in ses-
sion at the university Saturday having
adopted that title and completed the or
ganization. 1t is the plan of the new
association to occupy a position to the
state educational department, such as is
now held by the Minnesota Educational
association.
There will be meetings of the associa-
ton during the Easter holidays each
year, and all questions regarding the
course in the schools and all propositions
for the betterment of their condition will
be discussed and acted upon. An exc
cutive committee was named to take
charge of the active work of the asso-
citation for two years. This committee
consists of Superintendent III. G. lib
bets of Blue Earth, S. A. Chalmers of
Montevideo and G. r. Frazier of Winona
This committee Saturday afternoon
decided to recommend to the university
faculty and the high school council the
| recommendations passed by the meet
ing regarding the English course. The
question discussed at the morning ses-
sion brought out the fact that in many
! e Al
course in English included history
of English literature, and upon this sub
iect an extra examination is given, thus
giving the students five credits for a
four-year course. 1t was voted to
change the entrance requirements, and
that the high school course be four years,
four hours week, one fourth of which
shall be in composition work, and that
the fifth credit not be given. President
Northrop addressed the meeting, telling
of the necessity of elementary work in
the grades.
In the afternoon the question of sum-
mer work was taken up, and high
school committee, composed of Messrs.
Kunze, Red Wing; Cravens, Lake City,
and Kennedy of Fairmont, met faculty
committee made up of Professors West,
Moore and Nachtieb to further consider
, the entrance requirements.
The executive committee will also take
action upon the recommendation that
after l90405, the half year credits in
ancient history, medieval and modern
history to be changed to years credits
divided upon a basis of ancient history
up to 500 A. d. and modern from that
time on A request will also be made of
! the university faculty that commercial
geography be added as an option to the
list of requirements in university en-
/ trance No action was taken upon the
subjects of solid geometry and higher
algebra.
About twenty of the dignifed high
school principals strolled across the cam
pus Friday night after their banquet at
the College Inn, hatless. Some April l
| iokers stole their hats while they were
at dinner, but the superintendent fail
ed to see the joke, and the matters did a
rushing business for a while Saturday
morning.

CHANGED ITS COURSE.
Minnesota River Near KaSota Cuts Out
New Channel.
From Mondays Daily.

At point near Kasota the Minnesota
river has suddenly changed its course.
The high water broke over the bank and
formed a new channel, and the historic
stream now floats majestically down
through the ravine near the watering
tub. The most serious damage done is
the wiping out of three of the Minnesota
Valley company's telephone poles and
downing about 500 feet of wire. A
force of men was sent out to repair the
damage.
The pontoon bridge that made it pos
sible for travellers to get from Kasota to
st. Peter is said to be resting quietly in
a cornfeld.
