High pressure, with crest out on
the Atlantic and a prevalence of
fair weather, obtains eastwardly of
the Mississippi river. The western
storm center has reached eastern
Nebraska, and seems to be losing
energy; within the last "a hours it
has caused rain or snow from the
Pacific to the Rockies and IN mid
die Canada and in the Missouri and
Mississippi valleys. Moderate rain
fell in Florida. The pressure has
risen rapidly in the northwest, and
a general fall of temperature, that
has been considerable in the mid
die of the Rocky mountain region,
has occurred from the Pacific to
near the Mississippi river; with
temperatures of 16 and Is degrees
respectively in Alberta and Wyom-

states are about normal. The
northwestern high pressure is fa-
vOrable for fair weather tonight

TEACHERS IN ALASKA
 WILL PROBABLY BE COPS

Washington, Feb. 9-Chances are good for the teachers in the Alaska native schools to realize their desire to become peace officers and to have the power to make arrests. The bill to this purpose introduced at the re- quest of the bureau of educatian will be favorably reported by the house committee on public lands, and will probably pass this session of congress,
 It it the belief of those having charge of the native schools that the morals of the natives will be greatly improved If the teachers are given the authority to enforce the laws gov erning educational affairs in Alaska, and also those laws dealing with the conduct of tho natives in the minor affairs of life.

Senator From Oregon Urges Congress to Pass S1,OOO-

The senator was well fortified with data concerning the needs of Alaska, particularly when it comes to better transportation facilities, and he was listened to with much attention.
 While it is believed impossible to obtain favorable action on the bill dnring this session of congress, the agitation in it's behalf is having q good effect, for never in it's history has Alaska received the attention from congress that it is receiving at present.. The campaign started on the Pacific coast has resulted in the members of congress being deluged with letters of appeal in behalf of Alaska. These letters come from all parts of the country, and scarcely q national lawmaker who has not been urged to favorable action by at least one of his constituents.

ROOSEVELT SAYS
 CENSUS |S GRAFT President vetoes Bill to De- fray Expenses of Enum-
 erating Population.
DECLARES RESULT VALUELESS
Recommendation Is Made That Bureau Force Be Selected by
 NOn-pOlitical Means.

Washington, Feb. s-That the national census bureau at present is of no other utility than a prolific source of political graft is the asser- tion made by President Roosevelt in special message to congress. The message is sent to congress for the purpose of explaining the reasons prompting the president to veto the national census appropriation bill.
 The president declares that the census taken every ten years has never been correct and that while it should be absolutely dependable and unbiased in order to make it of value, it has in reality been prostituted to unscruprulous booming of certain localities and cities.
 Tho president recommends that tho machinery Ct the census taking be so changed that instead of being political appointecs all officers shall be selected as the result of competi- tive examination, and that party afiiliation shall have nothing to do with the personnel of the census force.

Seattle, Feb, 6-John Corson, can didate for delegate from Alaska to congress at the last election, was this morning made defendant in suit to recover S14,200 represented by dis honored drafts given out in Alaska during his campaign. Among those on whom drafts were drawn is Capt. E. w. Johnson, Frank G. Manley and Albert Mcdonald.
 The suit against Corson is brought by Bert Northrup, who represents local collection agency. Corson's friends have been aware for some time that the suit was likely to result, as he has been making efforts to satis- fly his creditors.
 Aside from few of his intimate friends John Corson has been consid- cred wealthy by those who know him. He was very anxious to be elected as the Alaska delegate and to this effect spent onsiderable money. The dishonored drafts were issued during July and August of last year. He has been mining partner of Capt. Johnson.

COPPER RIVER IS 0LSON'S DOWNFALL Contractors Outfit Bids Fair to Remain Where Rail-
 road Dumped It.
MUCH T0UTED ROUTE FIERCE
Roy Merrill and Wife Are In Dis gusted Party Mushing Eighty
 Miles to T0nsiDa.

Any person who posseases the idea that the Copper river route to the in- terior is the real thing for freighting had best look up Archie Brown, who is back in Valdez after q little ex- perience with the Vic Olson party. Brown says that Olson is now in Cor. dova with a badly frozen foot. and that the greater part of the Olson outfit is yet at Camp 1G where it was cached last fall after being hauled that far on the railroad,
 Olsen went in by the way of Ton sina with a small outfit and then started down the river for the material and supplies in the Camp 16 cache. He has made only one trip into his Wood-chopping camp, distance of sixty miles, and it took him twenty days to get 1,5O0 pounds of freight that far. It has been nearly two months since Olson started from Val deZ and so far he has not seen an axo swung on his contract.
 Brown says that the thermometer has registered from nine to twelve below all the time and that the wind has sailed along at tho rate of from siXty-flve to eighty miles an hour. One horse fell into the rapids, but was rescued after a considerable per iod in the water, during which he was swept several miles.
 Brown says that Olson bought most of his supplies from the railroad com pany and that this is the reason he tried to freight it up the river The horses are about useless as they have worked under severe conditions, and it is probable that Olson will have to get new live stock if he ever gets his outfit where it will do him any good.
 Brown says that Roy Merrill and his wife, and three others who went in to work for Olson have left the camp, and six days ago started for Tonsina. He says that the party has only three dogs and thatit is poorly outfitted for the journey. Slim, Will son is tbo only one of tho party who knows anything about mushing, and for great part of the eighty miles it is necessary to break trail through five feet of loose snow. Brown fears that the party is in danger of bocom- lost.
