ALASKA JOBS ARE
 CAUSE OF TROUBLE

Washington, Jan. 0-Rcccnt deVcl- opments in the situation with regard to the appointment of q judge for the First judicial division of Alaska indi- cate that the president is passing II D to the senate the responsibility for failure to rcinstatc Judge GmnisOn, whose term has just expired. There was much opposition to the nomina- tiOn of Judge Gunnison, and there was also much pressure brought to bear that he may be retained in of- flee.
 As the result the president sent Gunnison's name to the senate, but it is declared that the president has no expectation that tho nomination will be confirmed. Gunnson has strong backing from New York but through the instrumentality of resi- dents of the First division he is being strongly opposed.
 It is also believed that the president will take no action in regard to ap~ pointing successor to United States Marshal Powell of Nome. the under standing being that the appointment will go over until after Mr. Taft be comes president

TO supply lighthouses and buoys with an ideal luminant that will burn for periods up to one year and be- yond, without attendance and at reasonable cost, has been the dream of lighthouse commissioners for many years. Within the last year, however, it has ceased to be dream, and in Sweden, at least, it has advanced be- yond the state of mere novelty. Acetylenc has made the dream prac- tical, and in Sweden over 1000 light houses and buoys have used it for a year, after thorough testing, declares the January Popular Mechanics. The Swedish system is one that depends upon acetylene dissolved in acetone known in Sweden as acetono-pas. The most interesting feature of the system is sun valve which turns the light off when the sun is shining and it is no longer needed. or course, if the day is dark and the sun hidden by clouds or mists, the light burns on, but on such days tho signal is as nec- essary as at night.

Rockport. Mass, Aug. lin stagger-

gale. and loaded to her gunwaies with
anchors for the battleship Missouri,

Portsmouth for Boston, capsized off
Halibut point. Cape Ann, early today.
carrying down three members of her
crew.
The second officer, the captains wife
and her little boy and four of the crew
landed at GAINESVILLE and reported that
Captain Evans. the surgeon, the engi-
neer and several seamel were drifting
out to sea before the wind on life
raft. An hour later dozen fishing
boats put out frcm here, as well as
the life saving crews from Straits
mouth and Gloucester, to rescue the
men adrift. The tug was boat Of
low freeboard and her cargo brought
her down until her decks were nearly
awash. She was manned by five Off
GERS and crew of about 10 men. Cap
tain Evans, who was in command, has
been in charge of many battleships for
the Fore River Shipbuilding company
during their trials on the New England
coast. The westerly gale was blowing
when the Nezindicot left Portsmouth.
OFF Halibut point big sea bore the
little boat over until the water flooded
her engine room and she became help
less. Captain Evans ordered the single
boat carried to be lowered and put In
it his wife and little boy and the sec
ond officer Scarcely had the boat
touched the water when the Nezindicot
plunged under the waves. The cap
tain. surgeon. engineer and three or
four of the crew managed to haul
themselves aboard a liferaft.
Then it was found that three of the
tugs men had gone down. As the
Nezindicot's boat was being rowed to-
ward shore, the liferaft was driven sea
ward by the gale. The wind shifted
during the morning and it is possible
that the raft will be blown across Mas
sachusetts bay and the men be able to
make "A landing somewhere inside of

The Nezindicot was attached to the

The statement made in The Missou-
liam last week In connection with the
bradley Glover encounter in the upper
Bitter Root. to the effect that many
of Glover's neiGhbors had regarded
him as OF unbalanced mind, was hasty
and is not warranted by the subse

made after II mLrc thorough investi-
CATION of the case than was possible

is repeated at this time at the Cuur-

makes little difference what hour of
the day you look over the bridge you
see the same picture that tells the same
story. But the best way IL gain an

across the bridge is to be at the south

roadway for even short time, Yes
