WILL URGE ALASKA'S
NEED OF MORE ROADS
Thousands of Letters Sent Out to In.
fluentaI Men Asking Them to
Apply Pressure to Congress

SEATTLE, Wash, March 1.-The
question of wagon roads for Alaska, to-
gether with others of vital concern TO
the north, will be brought to the
attention of the world at large at
the Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition at
Seattle next summer. An association
of prominent Alaskans who are now in
Seattle has inaugufated a tremendous
movement for the furtherance of roads
in the north. Many thousands of let
ters have been sent to all parts of the
United States, requesting influential
business men, bankers, heads of large
corporations, professional men and
others to make simultaneous appeals in
behalf of Alaska roads to every menu
Der of the national congress, urging an
appropriation of S1,000,000 for roads for
the northern country.
1t is pointed out clearly that Alaska
cannot be developed without roads, as
the present cost of transporting sup
plies Is prohibitive.
hold a congress during Alaska week AT
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
ann will, in a practical and conclusive
manner, demonstrate the present utter
lack of road facilities in the north. For
this purpose a relief map will be shown,
giving present roads and demonstrating
the immediate need for additional
roads, the comparative cost of trans
porting miners and commercial sup
plies from point to point, and in other
ways clearly pointing to the paternal
neglect by a great and powerful gov
eminent of one of its richest depen-
denotes.
Speakers of national repute will be
enlisted to deliver carefully prepared
addresses on the subject, fortified by
accurate statistical data. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the Congress Of
Roads for Alaska, to be held during
Alaska week at the fair, will attract
such general and widespread national
attention as to impress more forcibly
than anything else the law makers at
Washington with the urgent and press
ing need for action.

fire DEPARTMENT IS
CALLED TO ARREST
WOMAN FOR THEFT
AGED PERSON TAKES PURSE
FROM BABY BUGGY
Turns in Alarm and Entire
Downtown Service
Responds

Jane Doe, halt and blind, in bedrag-
gled and mud despatched skirts, her
face lined and scanned by care, was an
obdurate and mpenitent prisoner at
the city Jail last night at an expense
of nearly 5000 to the city of Los An
geles, and all because of a purse con-
tanning less than 81.
The prisoner, IA years old, with eyes
that barely discerned the light. and
with legs and arms so twisted and stiff
fened she scarcely could walk alone,
was arrested at Fifth street and Broad
way on the charge of having taken a
purse belonging to Mrs. H. 7. McGin-
mis- of Edgewater road from a baby
buggy which Mrs. McGinnis was push
ing on the sidewalk.
There was the usual congestion of
people at the corner, and the baby
buggy for a time was the center of a
crowded mass of persons going and
coming in four directions.
Mrs. McGinnis was accompanied by
her husband and a 12year-old boy. For
a second as the baby buggy was halted,
the aged and crippled woman is said
to have leaned forward and to have
taken from the carriage Mrs McGinnis'
handbag, and TO have made way with
it through the crowd.
Mr.. McGinnis ran after and caught
her, and his wife called for the police.
The young boy, anxious to help, said
he would get the police, and he turned
to the fire alarm box at the corner and,
throwing the key and pulling the hook,
called out the downtown service APP
paratus. which includes seven engines,
four hose and chemical wagons, two
trucks and the water tower.
In the meantime a policeman was
found, and he took the woman to the
central station, where she refused to
give her name, address or any infor-
nation about herself. She was booked
on charge of suspicion. The officers
will try to learn something about her

MULE PRICES PROVE
TYPICALLY STUBBORN
City vainIy offers 5000 Apiece, and
Board of Public Works Suggests
That Buyers Be Sent
East

The board of public works has found
the problem of supplying mules for use
on the aoueduct more stubborn than
are the animals themselves. Although
the city has offered to buy 400 mules
at 5000 each there are none to be had
in this vicinity at that price, although
eastern breeders will sell at that fig
ure.
Last November the council gave the
board permission to contract, under the
emergency provision of the city char
ter. for 400 mules at 5000 each. The
board advertised and received bids
for Just twenty mules at $3.50 each.
This bid was rejected as being too
bigh. but the mule owners told the
board if they didn't want to pay the
price demanded they needn't buy the
mules They are receiving big prices
for renting their animals and are sat
isfed to keep them.
More than 400 draft animals are hired
for aqueduct work at $40 month, the
city paying for the feed. At TINS
price the city will have paid out $24O
at the end of two years for each mule,
and then have nothing but the work
accomplished to show for this money.
The board has concluded it will be
cheaper, as about four years VIII pc
needed to complete the aqueduct, to
pay even the high price demanded
When the work is finished it will have
the mules to sell, and be able to re-
cover at least rs per cent of the in
Vestment.
Acting on this idea, the board will
ask the council today to give it the
power to contract with eastern breed
ers for 400 mules at 1920 each. If this
authority is granted. it is proposed to
send John w. Snowden of Snowden &,
Cliff. and DR.. Fenimore, a veterinary
surgeon of Los Angeles, to Kansas
CITY and st. Louis to buy the mules

CHICAGO, March I'M. NJ. Manga
sarian has made his promised criticism
of President Roosevelt's action in re-
fusing to receive his protest against
the characterization of Thomas Paine
as "a filthy little atheist"
II do not blame President Roosevelt
for his remark" said Mr.. Mangasarlan.
His religious training is responsible
for his narrow views. This is the day
of political tolerance.
1.-THE name of jefferson Davis has
been restored to it's place among other
illustrious names in Washington. Oil
yer Cromwell, who led the king of Eng
land to the scaffold, has his name in
the Pantheon of England. In politics
we are civilized; in religion we are still
barbarians.
president Roosevelt's virtues are
great, and we respect him for them.
Great in some things, he is so small in
others that it seems incomprehensible
that one man can be capable of doing
and saying things so wide apart.
II pity his ignorance, and the worst
l wish him is that he may in time be-
come enlightened"

GIANT FIR TREE WILL BE
FEATURE OF EXPOSITION
Great Difficulties Attend Its Transit
to Seattle on Account of
Long Tow

SEATTLE, March 1.-The largest
fir tree in the state of Washing
ton will be brought to the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition if it can be
got here.
At present the forest giant is lying on
the bank of the Humptulips river in
Chehalis county. 1t is easy enough TO
slide it into the deep waters of the
creek with the Siwash name, and easy
again to float it down to tidewtaer
at Grays Harbor, but there its troubles
will begin.
The tree is 225 feet long and IA feet
i'm diameter at the butt. 1t is too long
to be handled on a railroad fiatcar and
too big at the base to clear the tunnels
along the route Also there is no
steamer plying between Puget Sound
and Grays Harbor large enough to
carry it.
Government contractors who are
working on the jetty at the harbor
have offered to transport a 125-foot
section of it to Seattle on one of their
huge barges, and it is likely that in
the end this will prove the solution of
the difficulty, although considerable
danger will threaten such an undertake
ing by reason of the long winter tow
on the Pacific between the two har-
bors.
The tree will be made one of the
features of the huge forestry exhibit

COUNCILMAN WALLACE TO
ATTEND MEETINGS AGAIN

For the first time in two months A.
j. Wallace, councilman from the Fifth
ward, will attend a meeting of the
council today and resume his place at
the head of the finance committee.
Mr.. Wallace has been seriously i'll
with pneumonia, but has practically
recovered, and although still weak is
able to attend to business.
His brother councilmen have missed
him greatly, especially Dromgold who
has had no satisfactory parliamentary
wars during Wallace's absence. The
Lycurgus OF the council and Yonkin
have clashed over a few matters, but
these tits have lacked the pith and
point noticed in the controversies be-
tween the gentleman from the First
and the gentleman from the Fifth.

CONTRACT FOR EXPLOSIVES
AWARDED TO LOCAL FIRMS
Will Be Used in Blasting Tunnels
and Cost Will Be More Than
100000

The board of public works yesterday
awarded to three local hardware firms
a contract for explosives to be used
on the aqueduct. These firms are rep
resentatives of the different powder
makers, and sign the contract jointly.
This ARRANGEMENT is made because
there is no difference in price, and It
insures greater promptness in deliV-
cries.
The explosives will cost more than
100000 and will be used in blasting
tunnels along the line of the big ditch.
One interesting feature of the bids sub
mitted was on the item of copper wire.
1t was shown that copper wire had
gone down a cent a pound, a lower
drop, according to City Electrician
Manahan, than has occurred within the
last ten years.
