Two Strong Opponents Announce
 Against Delegate Gale.
 Fairbanks, Alaska. June 24-The political situation in Alaska was made extremely complex yesterday by the statement which Judge James Wicker shaw issued, announcing he would be candidate to succeed Thomas Gale as delegate to Congress.
 The fact that Mir. Gale and Judge Wickersham are warm political and social friends, adds to the oddity of the occasion. Major Cum, who in- augurated his own campaign yesterday was also a Gale supporter. In the fact | of all this. reports which come from the second division indicate that Gale has strength there as well as In the Panama.

BLIND HAVE MANY AMUsEMENrs
Handicap of Loss Of Sight Overcome
in Many Ways.

With closed eyes, two young men
In the blind asylum were playing
chess. The board they played on had
the black squares raised and the
white ones sunken, whilV the black
pieces were rough and the white ones
smooth.
GIVE us this handicap on account
OF our blindness" said one Of the
young men. "and we will play as
quick and accurate game Of chess
as anybody. Give US checkers and q
checker board constructed on the
same plan, and there. too our playing
will equal you're.
Il would rather be blind than deaf"
he went on. Blindness doesn't rob
you OF much. The blind are excellent
anglers They play good game Of
euchre, or poker, or bridge. They use
cards that have embossed pipa
THE blind are good runners, good
gymnasts. In our last sports the hun.
dred yards we're done In under twelve
seconds, and on the horizontal and
parallel bars, the giant swing, the
corkscraw. the straight arm balance
and the finger balance were executed

for other peoples, and believe every
true American patriot should further
this advance with all the earnestness
that in him lies"
To emphasize his patriotic motives
Mr.. Scott said in the course Of the in
terview: 'If the representative of any
foreign power-England, France, Ger
many or other naton-came to me
and told me that G1,00O,000 lay in
bank subject to my check, provided
would turn over to them even the dia-
grams of my aeroplane, would refuse
such offer. No amount Of money could
persuade me to sell my invention to
foreign power"

the plaudits Of the multitudes." says
this sane inventor 81 hope to earn
fellowship in the ranks of those

do not even ask to be given credit
for good intentions.
Although many people who have
not studied the matter may scoff, /
venture to predict that within five
years there will be constructed aero
plane ships to carry crews of 20 to 80
men, having engines of from 900 to
l,OOO-horse power and capable of flight
Of 1000 miles at a clip
THE ship which l am building ac-
cording to the specifications furnished
the government will stay in the air
one hour, will make its ascents and
descents without danger, and will
carry two men. My experiments
have proved to me that the planes
above and below must be perfectly fiat
and there will be no curves or con.
cavity in them. During the hour that
it remains in the air my ship will
maintain it's equilibrium, be under per.
feet control and move in all direc.
tons, as required by the specifications
required by the signal corps.

of the near future the craft so far
made are as dugouts to the most mod.

FOR AMERICA ALONE
PATRIOTS AERoPLANE WILL NOT
AID FOREIGNERS.
James F. Scott, Who Has Captured
Contract from Government, Be-
lieves Air Craft VIII RevoIu-
tionize Warfare.

Chicago.-James F. Scott, to whom
the government has awarded SIC, 1000
contract for an aeroplane, says that
within five years the development Of
flying apparatus will have gone so far
that aeroplane ships, carrying crews
of 20 to 80 men, will be making reg
ular flights of 1000 miles at a clip.
He looks for progress to be made sim
liar to that with the automobile,
which has reached the present state
of perfection within a decade.
Mr.. Scott is a scenic artist As years
old. He has made at least dozen
working models, and the apparatus to
be built for the war department is to
consist of two main perfectly hori-
zontal planes, with several smaller in
termediary planes, the whole Weighing
$500 pounds.
Mr.. Scott Is intensely interested in
the subject of aerial navigation, has
decided ideas as to how pa
triotic Americans knowledge and
studies and investigations in any
line Of scientific endeavor should be
used freely and unreservedly for the
use of his government-and for the
advantage of no other-and is firmly
convinced that the need for all naval
strength will be entirely done away
with when aerial navigation, by aero
planes, shall have been perfected. The
possibility of building a feet of air
craft which can destroy the mightiest
leviathan of the sea by dropping explo.
sives he regards as sure in time not
only to revolutionize all warfare, but
absolutely to do away with it.
THE reason wrote the government
authorities that my invention would
be at their service for $4,000, unre-
servedly,' said Mr.. Scott, in an In.
terview, is that l believe all patriotic
Americans should devote their efforts
to the welfare of their government,
provided their lines of endeavor lie
along lines like mine, and that a
prohibitive price should not be put
upon their work. have the greatest
faith in the idea that the United
States is the country which is des.
tined to reach the greatest heights in
civilization, holding up the beacon

FARMERS HOLD WHEAT
Many In Vicinity of ArausvilIe Have
Pledged Their Product for Not
Less Than 81.

A prominent farmer living in the VI
cinity of Argusville was in the city
today and said that fifty six farmers
in that vicinity have pledged to hold
their wheat for 81 per bushel and
that they will not sell for less than
that price. In the neighborhood of
Argusville there are only two farm
ers who have not made this pledge
and it is likely that they will join the
movement which was instituted by the
American Society OF Equity.
over the state there are thousands
of farmers who have made like pledges
and the Equity society will undoubted-
" have a greater influence this year
than ever before in the history of the
state and they expect to bring the
price of wheat to 81 before the winter
is over.

CASE HINGES ON
AGE OF The GIRL
JAMES WOOD, WHO is ALLEGED
TO HAVE CAUSED THE DOWN.
FALL OF LIZZIE HoYUM FACES
A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE BE.
FORE JUDGE MILLER.

The exact age of Lizzie Hoyun, who
is the complaining witness in casa
in which James Wood is charged with
statutory crime, will make a. very
material difference in the seriousness
of the charge which is brought against
Wood. The case was continued this
morning in Judge Miller's court to all
low time to get the girls mother here
as witness.
The girl is only fifteen years Of
age according to her own testimony.
but when her father, Andrew Hoyuna.
was put on the stand he was not posi-
tive as to the exact age of the girl
and the testimony of the mother will
be needed to settle this point
II the girl was under the age OF
consent, Wood faces a penitentiary
sentence no matter whether he mar
ries the girl or not. 1t is said that
the girl Is willing to marry Wood
but the father, who is decidedly wrath
full over the whole affair, may decide
that he wants to send Wood over the
road.
The case is very pitiful one ana
IL appears that the parents are prob
ably as much to blame as any one.
The girl is from Parke township Clay
county, Minnesota. where she was
born and raised on a farm. She had
absolutely no knowledge OF the pitfalls
OF the city and yet her parents allowed
her TO come to Fargo absolutely
friendiess ana alone to make her own
living.
The case was continued until Friday,
Sept. at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
