Copper Fields Of Alaska.

WAsH1NGTN, Feb. 1.-Hearing on
the bill to give government charter
to the Alaska Railroad company for
its projected railroad from the head
of Cordova bay to a point on the Yu.
kon river near Eagle, Alaska was
continued today before the senate
committee on territories.
There was added interest in the
hearing because Andrew Burleigh OF
New York, one Of the promoters, de-.
clared that the opponents of the bill
were trying to ''corner" the copper
fields of Alaska and that their plans
would be interfered with If his rail.
road invaded the field.
Mr.. Burleigh charged that Simon
Guggenheim, senator-elect from Colo.
RADIO, was identified with the move
ment to secure a monopoly of the
Alaskan copper fields.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-President
Roosevelt is preparing the draft of q
momentous letter to the interstate com.

especially interesting to James J. Hill,

Valley Treasurer Is Short.

GLASGOW, Feb. 2.-The state ex-
aminer has filed with the county COM
missioners a report, stating that, from
an examination of the books of Will
liam Wofford, county treasurer, he
finds that Wofford Is apparently in.
debted to the county in the sum of at
least 5000. A full investig alton Of
the condition of the books in the
treasurer's Office is now in progress,
as we'll as the deposits to the credit of
the county in banks, and it is stated
that the apparent indebtedness may
be increased before the examin alton
shall have been concluded. Wofford
was elected county treasurer in No.
vember, 1904, taking the Office the fol-
lowing March. AT the election last
November be was the republican can
did ate for reelection, and was unop-
posed. He is to enter upon HE second
term the first Monday of next month.
| Wofford Is under heavy bonds to Val
ley county, surety company being

nitied by bond for 100000, with
Valley county men as sureties. Prior

Spokane Merchants Concerned.

SPOKANE, Feb. 1.-Spokane mer.
chants are beginning to express much
concern over the delayed shipments
which are en- route to Spokane and
which are greatly needed. Many of
the business houses and especially the
larger of the retail stores and the
WHOLESALE houses are finding them
selves almost entirely out of many
staple lines of goods. The reserve
stocks have been drawn on for the
past three or four weeks and even
these are about exhausted. Many of
the business houses have had ship.
ments and carloads of freight on the
road from 30 to 40 days and there is
no immediate prospect of their de.
livery.
Practically all of the freight has
been brought into Spokane during the
past three weeks, that is, through
freight from the east, has been over
the O. r. g. NJ; the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Canadian Paci.
fic through freight business being al.
most at standstill. It is understood
tn at the Great Northern has had less
than q dozen cars of freight in from
the east during the month OF January,
whereas, under normal conditions,
about $50 cars would have been re.
ceived.
Many Spokane business houses are
beginning to adopt the course of re-
fusing to route their shipments over
any special road. They are leaving
it with the eastern consignors of the
goods to ship over any road from
which they can secure the cars, and
thus avoid the delay of aiting for the
cars of certain route.

Western Matters In Congress.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Many in
Quiries are being received from Mon
tana relative to prospects OF legisla.
tion regulating grazing on the public
lands. Eight bills governing this
matter have been introduced in this
congress, but indications are not fsv.
orable to the passage of any of them
this session.
The house committee on public
lands authorized a favorable report
on bill authorizing an exchange of
land where private ownership is held

department is to take title to such
land and the settler is to receive an
equal amount of land outside of the
reserv alton. The bill will affect 90.

JOBS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Missouri Congressman Suggests
Various Positions For President.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-Champ
Clark, candidate to succeed John
Sharp Williams as the minority
leader In the house, spoke in favor OF
the deep water way from Minnesota to
the gulf. He was sarcastic at Burton,
and said that Roosevelt, after his
term as president, should build the
Panama canal. He declared that the
steel magnates are behind the fight to
prevent an appropriation for a deep
water way.
In the course of his speech Mr..
Clark referred to the presidents pos.
sible future in these words:
"Many suggestions have been made
in the public press as to the career of
President Roosevelt after his term ex-
pires. 1t has been suggested that he
be elected to the senate of the United
States. l am not the adviser of the
people of New York, but if they are
to continue the habit of sending re-
publicans to that body, my voice is
for Roosevelt for that position. The
subsequent proceedings would be de-
cidedly interesting. Only two ex.
presidents have returned to congress.
John Quincy Adams served seventeen
years in the house, dying with the
harness on his back, as no doubt he
would have decided to do had he been
consulted about his exit from this
world.
"Another suggestion is that Presi-
dent Roosevelt shall be made presi-
dent of Harvard university, certainly
a tempting position for man OF
scholarly tastes.
"Another suggestion ls tn at Colonel
Roosevelt be made perpetual presi'
dent OF The Hague tribunal. That he
would discharge his duties in tha,
place goes without saving.
"Still another suggestion is that he
be made manager of the Panama ca
nal-the most splendid suggestion O
all. An isthmian canal has been tht
dream of men since Balboa frs
looked with amazement and deligh
upon the Pacific ocean. The man wht
achieves the honor of accomplishing
that vast work will never be forgotten
"Why Wallace or Shontz or an,
man who had any chance to connec
his name with that undertaking woult
. relinquish it for any financial con
sideration whatever, like the peace o
God, passes all understanding"

sues of stock may be regulated. 1t Is
said tn at a federal law along the lines
of the much discussed Minnesota state
law is favored.
These various subjects are to be in.
vestigated, it is understood, by the in.
terstate commerce commission during
the coming recess of congress. with q
view to amendments to the rate law.
It is asserted that the president will
make railroad legislation the big fea.
ture of the first session of the Sixtieth
congress, centering all his efforts on
bill and focusing the attention OF
the country on 1t.

WORST STORM Of WINTER,
Snowbanks Again Blockade Railroads
In North Dakota.

FARGO, N. D., Feb. 2.-What is by
far the worst storm of the winter is
just subsiding, after having wrought
havoc with the train service and oc-
casioned much suffering among the
isolated sufferers.
Beginning Friday afternoon the
blizzard ragged with unabated fury un.
til this evening. Sweeping across the
plains, driving quantities of snow be.
fore it and piling it in deep drifts in
every cut, it put an end to all traffic,
not only in North Dakoto, but in west
ern Minnesota as we'll, and resulted
in complete tieup of all railroads in
this part of the country.
Trains leaving St. Paull yesterday
are arriving tonight anywhere from 4
to l6 hours late. No trains:h aveIbeen
running north or west of Fargo since
last night. There has been a complete
tieup of freight and passenger service
on the main lines and branches of
both the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific. Eastbound passenger trains
on the Northern Pacific were held all
day at Mandan, Bismarck, Medina
and jamestown. Two passenger trains
which left Fargo early last evening
were caught in a snowdrift 13l miles
east of here and it was found neces-
sary TO send IS men with shoves to
dig them out. They were not released
until this evening.
That the present storm has carried
great suffering and death in Its trail
there can be little doubt. Manystowns
were -ho"t of fuel and the blizzard
aggravated ,hi- condition, but it is
among ths humesteaders that the
greatest suffering exists. and scores OF
those have un!oubledly perished.

Mason; Gets Ten Years.

HELENA, Feb. 2. - Manslaughter
was the verdict returned by the jury
this afternoon at $50 o'clock in the
case of Edward P. Mason, tried in
the federal court for the killing of
Riley l.. Huff, last September at Fort
Assinniboine. Judge Hunt imposed
the maximum term of Imprisonment
under the law, sentencing Mason to
serve the full term of ten years at
hard labor in the penitentiary at
Deer Lodge.
With stinging words of scorn,
Judge Hunt addressed the defenda ant.
II wish to say I never, during the
time have been sitting on the bench,
saw a more depraved individual while
on trial than you. You are gamb.
ler. Your associates have been har
lots and lewd women. You are per-
jurer and confessed to committing the
crime of larceny.
"It is hard for the court to under.
stand on what rational basis the jury
could render verdict of manslaugh.
ter, as the verdict charges Iyou with
killing Huff.
"If you did kill HUFF you did it with
malice aforethought aud: the verdict
should have been returned according
ly and charged you with murder.
~ believe that you killed Riley L.
Huff maliciously and CwithOmalice
aforethought; that Eyou ouslinveigled
yourself into his quartersjfor the pur.
pose of executing this deedl and that
you killed him deliberately and de.
sigredly."
The jury was out just % hours.
Yesterday afternoon they requested
further instructions, asking what the
extreme penalty was and also inquir.
ing about manslaughter. Q Under the
United States statutes the jury, if it
finds man guilty of murder, may
return a verdict to this effect with this
clause added: "Without capital pun.
