Surprise In Contest Case

Washington, March AT tn,
session Of the committee herring in
the Parsons Saunders contested eIec
lion ease this morning big surprise
was sprung when Parsons counsel
announced that they had abandoned
the allegations that there had been
maud ON the part of the Saunders
men in the election. Thereupon Mr..
Saunders declared, i'm the most en-
phatic language, that he was prepar-
ed 10 show the committee that. on
the other hand, there had been per
petratec all manner OF fraud, bribery
anu corruption in connection with
the preparation and delivery OF bal
lots voted for Parsons. MIR. Saunders
then went into careful analysis Of
the matter showing where in some
cases the county treasureIs, and not
the clerks, rs the law authorizes, had
altered the tax lists To permit deIin-
quent Vo tiers TO cast their ballots Tor
Parsons.
This phase OF the matter caused
considerable embarrassment To the
PARSONS people inasmuch as there
had been complete change i'm the
original program. Instead OF proving
that there had been fraud on the part
OF the Saunders people, the alIega-
tions OF the latter would prove Par
sons to have been guilty of ccrrup
ton and put an entirely new Iigh-
on the situation.
Numerous questions were asked
by the members OF the committee ms
TO who Judge Saunders believed gull
~ of this corruption, and they furth-
er asked why no steps had been TAX
en- to file prosecutions. These cues
tions were answered by Judge Saun-
ders.
Representative Saunders, i'm adj
dressing the committee tonight, made
an excellent argument for the validi-
ty Of the Virginia law by which
Floyd county was taken out OF the
nth district and placed in the sixth.
lie riddled the statement of Govern
OF Montague made yesterday, that
the state had 'germandered' be-
cause the Democrats thouhgt that
they were in danger of losing the
nth district and argued i'm addition,
that many precedenls were at hand
showing the very same thing bad
been done ms i'm the present case and
such acts when review ed at all had
been held legal.
Mr. Saunders laid great stress on
the fact that this is matter for the
states 10 decide, and that Congress
has nothing To do with it, except in
case OF great, or flagrant violations
OF law. His argument was strong,
foTceful and convincing, and showed
thorough and exhaustive prepare
ton.

PULP WOOD IN ALASKA.

Transportation Facilities Only Needed
to Open Up Enormous Forests.
Another valuable item has been add
ed to Alaska's growing list Of undevel
oped resources. Recent expert exami
nation of the timber in the Sushitn;,
basin has confirmed the belief that it
is pulp wood of high quality. The
timber is poplar. cottonwood and
spruce, but little of which is of com
mercial value for lumber. The land On
which this growth stands includes the
100000 or more acres estimated as
grazing and farming land and on
which homesteading recently began,
This area, distributed among the warn,
GUS valleys of the basin. is for the
most part covered with luxuriant
growth of wild redtop grass, with little
underbrush and only a moderate stand
of timber. 1t is obvious that with a
reasonably convenient market for pulp
wood and water transportation, Of
which there is much. the cost of clear
ing these lands might be greatly re-
duced if not made profit by the sale
of the timber as byproduct.
On kenai peninsula, along the line Of
the seventy mile Alaska Central rail
road, alone there are many thousands
Of acres Of available pulp wood. and
this will be increased with almost
every mile of the roads extension to-
ward the Matanuska coal fields. The
value of this supply of pulp wood in
American territory and the practicable
ity of utilizing it was first pointed out
by Levi Chubbuck of the department
of agriculture, who visited the region
last summer Still more recently Sena-
tor George j. Baird of Canada went in
to the Matanuska coal fields and was
greatly impressed by the vast area
pulp woods as we'll as the splend
grazing lands they stood on. He pr
diets the rapid settlement of this
gion by farmers and cattlemen.

THE NEW THEATER.
oomsthing About Americas Most Com

Something About Americas Most Com
pIete and Beautiful Playhouse.
Not only New York. but the entire
country. may well feel proud Of the
New theater, just opened in that city.
which is the most complete and beau
tifully appointed playhouse in the En:,
lish speaking world. 1t is the first en-
dowed theater ever founded in Amer
lea, and no country has ever received
a more magnificent gift. Its founders
hope that it will stand in the same re-.
lation to dramatic and musical art as
do the principal theaters of Europe. 1t
is planned not only to foster and stim-
ulate art by the production Of plays
and light operas that are worth while.
but also to maintain a school Of mu-
sical and dramatic art. and is the near
est to a national theater that can be
obtained in the United States.
The great playhouse was erected at a
cost of $4,000, 900 and has seating ca.
pacity Of 2.2OO. AS it is in no sense a
commercial venture, considerable lati-
tude was allowed the architects in its
construction. who have taken the best
available ideas from representative the.
aters abroad. From every seat and ev-
cry box there is a clear view Of the
stage. and the auditorium is elliptical

ed. The Copper river valley, up
which the road must run. is notorious
for its violent winter windstorms. it's
shifting, uncertain. silt falls; racing.
vagabond streams; deep snow; rocky,
slide secured canyons and advancing
glaciers. The river itself, the only
large stream emptying from the Alas
kan interior to the southwark, is a
turbulent, silt laden. ice bearing tor
rent In which no man can swim twen-
ty strokes. At one place it runs be-
tween great living glaciers that dis
charge millions Of tons of ice into it's
current each day of the summer
months, and here the railroad must
run too.
Scenery Will Become World Famous.
