WILSON'S PLAN ANTIeUATED

The system of rosj building proposed for Alaska by senator Nelson, as out lined in another column, is one that is. familiar to people of middle age who have lived in the country towns d the United States. However, it has 1een many years since the plan was nan- doned in all except the prairie staos, where the road question is oomPar- lively a simple matter.
 The New York York Sun, in com mentins upon the matter, Is sound to the core. Itsays:
 "I, is thus proposed to build roads and trails in Alaska under a system that has been abandoned wherever good roads have been desired. Work ing out the road tax is nowhere re- garisd as an employment requiring the serious consideration oi 8 citizen. II he appears at the appointed place, his work is not likely to result in any ap- preciabls improvement to the highway upon which he is employed. The col lection of forieitures for non-periorm- snce of work on the roads has never been a brilliant success, nor is there reason Co believe that it would be in Alaska.
 "The wastef1lness of this method Of road building, employing unwilling workers destitute Of scientific knowl- edge Of the task set for them, Is demon strated by the unsatisiactoriness of highways built under it. IT the gov srnment intends todd anything Go build and improve roads in Alaska, a compre- hensive scheme should be adopted hrsti collectible tax should be levied, and workmen under expert supervision should be employed to carry out the plan. Under such a system good high ways can be built, but under the road tax plan nothing of permanent value win be accomplished.

OLD WAY To Build Alaskan Wagon Road on Poll Tax Plan

The senate subcommittee which vis- tied Alaska in the summer of 1903 was impressed particularly by the lack of wagon roads in the district. The seu- ators in their report called attention to the enterprise of the Canadian govern mem, in whose territory numerous roads already exists and Ito the exten- ton of which great attention is being paid. The result Of the senate commit tees recommendation has been the in- troduction of both houses of congress of a bill designed to oproyide for the con- SJruction Of wagon roads in the Ameri- caa territory, by the residents of the district, under the direction of road overseers, who are to be appointed by the United States commissioners.
 These overseers are to call upon every l e persons between the ages oils and l oOA Aars in their district to perform two uA.SabOr, with such implements as 'n7 verseer may direct, in each year on

NO HOPE FOX PRorEoTIoNIsTs

While Sir Wuirid Laurier threw a vet blanket upon the hopes of those who advocate free trade for North America, he did not hold out much en- eouragement to the high tarid advo- cates in Canada and still less was held out to those who are urging the imper- ial high tariff policy of Joe Chamber lain. IfLaurier's plans shall obtain in Canada, and there is little doubt but that they win do so for years to come, that country will consult it's own inter ests, solely, in the arrangement of its tariff and other laws and it will permit other countries, including Great Brit ain, to do likewise
 However, Canada's prime minister would be ready at any time to meet the United States half way if this country would only give some evidence Of a bopi 6de desire to tear down the bar barrie tariff wall that hampers trade and tends to cause stagnation the full length Of the international border.
 All of which goes to prove Sir Will frid Iaurier to be one of the worlds greatest statesmen.

Mukden, Oct S.-(Via Tien Tsin,
Oct. 10.)-A crossing Of the Taitse
east of Benshiu by Russian cavalry,
shows that the Japanese are retiring
on their positions at Lao Yang and in
the rest Of hills east Of Yentai, as
though they were still desiring de.
cisive action near Lao Yang. The
Japanese after approaching the Hun
river appear merely to hold General
Kuroki's late battle ground, where
cannon firing upon the Russian cav.
airy occurred during the morning and
afternoon of October 7. 1t was quiet
there yesterday. The Japanese right
Is understood to be guarded by Jap
anese force beyond where outposts OF
Cossacks are stationed, but no action
between the Cossacks and Japanese
has been reported within a week. Ir
order to retake lost ground the Rus
slams have now task similar to that
of the Japanese, that is to make
road over hitherto unmapped region
but the season being dry is highly IA
yorable to the task Of road making.

AWFUL CARNAGE
IS IN PROGRESS.
The Russians Are Fighting
-. With Indifferent
Success.
KUROPATKIN IN BIG BATTLE
Personally Directs the Movements OF
His Armies-Conflict Reported to
Be Most Heated in the Center and
at the Right Flank.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 14.-Desperate
| fighting and heavy losses on both
sides, with varying success for the
| Russians, such is the summing up Of
the situation by General Kuropatkin
in telegram filed October -. There
is no sign of the battle slackening
On the contrary, General Kuropatkin
telegraphs that he had ordered the
army to resume the fight with unabat-
ed vigor today. General kuropatkin
himself is in the thickest of the fight
and General Sakharoff, his chief OF
staff, is personally directing recon
naisances. The conflict has been most
desperate at the center and on the
right flank. The advance guards at
these points had to be repeatedly re-
enforced, owing to the great pres.
sure Of the Japanese attacks. AT
nightfall on October IL, the Russian
right was withdrawn from its main
position, but one of the abandoned
positions was retaken at the point OF
the bayonet durHg the night.
Contrary to Field Marshall Oyama's
report, no indication is given in Gen
eral kuropatkin's telegram of an en-
veloping mocement by General Oku.
The only positions captured by force
were at the center where the Russians
were compelled to retire during the at
ternoon. There is no mention of the
loss of guns. The wer Office declines
to deny that there was such loss,
but explains that such an incident was
quite possible while positions were
changing hands, but that even if it is
true, it is of no material consequence.
According to kilograms from Rus
sian correspondent, the horrors of the
battle were intensified by bitter cold
and rain.
General Mistchenko, who had been
reported to be raiding in Korea, play
ed conspicuous part in the fighting
on the Russian left flank. According
to the latest news of the fighting in
the direction of Belsihu. the Russians
were striving for the possession of 4
pass, but no news was received from
there yesterday. The pass alluded to
presumably is the HUI pass, which is
mentioned in General Sakharoff's tele.
gram of October II. HUI pass is eight
miles due north Of Bensihu. Should
this pass fall into the hands of the
Russians it would involve the capture
of Bensihu, thus opening up the road
to Lao Yang.
According to the belief Of the gen.
trail staff, General Rennenkampff has
not penetrated as far as the Tatse
river, but he is cooperating in the at
tempt to capture Bensihu.

According to unofficial reports,
Field Marshal Oyama, at the first
sign of General Kuropatkin taking the
offensive, began drawing in his line
and concentrating upo fortified posi-
tons north of Lao Yang. According
to the latest reports, which are con-
tanned in dispatch to the Associated
Press from Mukden, dated at 6
o'clock last night, the japanese out
posts are being driven in all along
the line.
The strategy of the forward move.

preparations for the advance, so that
all surmises as to where General Ku-
ropatkin intends to strike are mere
guesswork. 1t is not clear whether
General Kuropatkin contemplates a
blow on the left center or right of the
Japanese army, but the fact that
stress is laid upon the capture of
Bentsiaputze, which opened the road
and fords to Bensihu, twenty miles
east Of Lao Yang, where General
Kuroki crossed, and that Cossacks

MRS. kARRER coNFEssEs.
Admits Further Details Of Treynor
Bank Robbery

Council Bluffs, Oct. 11.-Mrs Karl
Karrer of Treynor admitted yestcr ,ay
that her husband had confessed to her
the robbery of the Treynor Savings
bank last Thursday. She also turned
over to Sheriff Canning $1,015 of, the
plumber and advised him where $500
more could be secured. This makes
\ total recovery OF $1,415, while the
bank claims to have lost 1882. Kar-
ser says that he cannot account for
the missing $1O7 unless he lost it
from his pockets in running through
the corn fields in his effort to escape.
The $400 was recovered yesterday
from Hugh Hieber, farmer near
Underwood, to whom it had been paid
last Friday by Mrs. Karrer to cancel
a note which Karrer owed. Hieber
did not know that the money came
from the bank robbery and as soon as
its source was explained at once sur
rendered the money to the officers.
Mrs. Karrer also confessed that
she is the woman who secured the
livery team in Council Bluffs with
which Karrer drove to Treynor to rob
the bank. She declares, however,
that she had no knowledge Of her
husbands intent and did not know OF
the robbery until he confessed it to
her the day following. He then gave
her the money and told her to pay
Hieber the note and keep the bal
ance She says that she advised him
to return it to the bank. but the offlc-
ers arrested Karrer before she could
protest further.
According to Mrs. Karrer, her hus-
band recently offered her $4,000 if
she would get divorce. He is said
to have been intimate with neigh
boris daughter, who has also shown
much interest in Karrer since his
arrest. Karrer is said to have spent
the night following the bank robbery
at the home Of August Olderog in
Treynor and Olderog and his daugh-
ter Rose, visited Karrer at the coun-
ty Jail Sunday.
