NAME COL. WILEY
As CHAIRMAN AT
TOOAY'S SESSION
John E. PeItz, Well Known
Richmond Republican, and
a Ozark Horse" Was Elect
ed as the Secretary.
WILL HOLD PRIMARY
ELECTION ON FEB. 9TH
A Rule Is Adopted Which Linn
it's the Candidates to One
Rig, Driven by Themselves,
on Election Day.
Date Of Primary-Monday Feb. 7.
Chairman-C. e. Wiley.
Vice Chairman-Franci McM;nn.
Secretary-John e. PeItz.
Treasurer-HoWar Brooks.

The new republican county central
committee, selected at the ward and
township meetings Friday. was organ
lied this morning at it's meeting at the
circuit court room. Business was i'm
mediately taken up but not completed
at this mornings meeting, and the
committee at noon adjourned until
/ 80 o'clock this afternoon
The meeting was called to order by
Lewis Bowman, former chairman. The
first business was the election of Off
GERS, resulting as above stated. The
election of John E. PeltZ as secretary
was somewhat of a surprise. He had
never announced his candidacy. There
were three avOwed candidates in the
field for the office, but their names
were not presented. No reason for
this was given. These candidates in
cluded Roy Fry, Frank Howells and
Milton Elrode.
Discussed the Date.
The date of holding the primary was
discussed, but no action taken this
morning. The candidates favored Mon
day. February and several of the
committeeman announced that since
this date appeared to be the most pop
ular they only saw one way in settling
The matter, so this afternoon the COM
mittee formally voted to hold the pri-
mary on that date.
Several members of the committee
individually thought it would be better
to postpone the primary until Monday,
February ii, because the earlier date
will necessitate much haste on the part
of the committee in making all prepa-
rations.
c. E. Wiley, the new chairman made
his inaugural speech and briefly re-
ferred to his position. He said that
it was not his intention to be boss
of the party or committee. but simply
wished to be a leader and helper 9th
er officials made similar speeches.
The new committee passed a resolu-
tfon embodying the anti-treating claus
es of the old committees rules. An
addition was made, however, in that
the candidates will not be permitted to
use rigs except the one which they
will drive themselves. This will mean
a great saving to all candidates. Here
tofore. it has been customary for can
didates to engage rigs and employ driv-
ers to carry their SUPPORTS to the
polls.
Executive Committee.
Another resolution was adopted, the
sense of it being that the executive
committee of the organization should
be selected by the chairman from with
in the county central committees Or
ganization and include the four Off
GERS. This suggestion was made by
the Third ward republicans at their
meeting Friday evening. However.
the committee may have the assistance
of seven outside advisors if the COM

SWITCHMEN STRIKE DEAD
ALTHOUGH IT HAS NOT AS YET

Off BUSINESS CONDITIONS
NOW NORMAL.

st. Paul. Mimi, Jan. 31.-More
wheels are turning in the northwest
than at any time since before the
Christmas holidays, yards are practi-
Cally clear of congestion, and perish
schedules, declare the northwestern
railways. Statements from all the
railway headquarters in st. Paul,
which is the center for $4,000 miles
of trackage, show the same condi-
tions. Although the switchmens
strike is not vet officially declared
off, there is no evidence that it con-
tinues to exist.
For the past ten days conditions on
all lines have been perfectly normal
except that the congestion of the early
days of the strike. coupled with con-
tinued snow-falls and occasional per-
iods of cold, continually prevented the
railways from clearing up accumulat-
ed loads and getting their yards in
shape.
Were Above Normal.
Three weeks ago all the st. Paul
lines were above normal in the num-
ber of switch crews at work. but the
new men who replaced the strikers
we're inexperienced and were not NOV
ing the freight with the same prompt
ness as before the strike. The new
men have been successfully broken in,
many OF the old men have returned to
work and period of good weather
marred only by washout trouble in the
far west, has aided the roads in clean
ing things up and getting entirely
back to normal operating conditions
again.
Strike reports printed in the east
ern press have painted northwestern
conditions in black colors. Railway
officers state that the fear of a gen.
eral strike and the reports of serious
trouble in northwestern states have
held back much freight but point to
the fact that passenger traffic has
not been interfered with, that holiday
merchandise was moved without SER
ious complaint and that there has
been practically no coal shortage of
serious nature as proof that the east
obtained a wrong impression of con-
ditions.
Coal is coming from the head of the
lakes district in normal quantities and
the package freight movement is in
better volume than for several weeks
Third week earnings of all lines.
which will be announced in a few

With the arrival of complaint. summons and writ of attachment from Fairbanks last week. followed by service and levy by the United States marshal, the works Of Bates. Merritt X Mckenzie. on the uppcr end of 1 above. Otter creek. and figured one of the best lays in the country. was closed down Wednes- day night Following hurried legal proceedings. and the execution of rcdelivcry bond. il was expected that the lay would resume operations al once
 The trouble grew out of a suit in- situated in Fairbanks by Jack Cos low to recover s3.O0O which he claims to be due him from Gil Bates. Jack Merritt and Angus Mckenzie. as the balance due him on the pur- chase price of the lay He had al ready been paid $3,0OO. but the rc. maining half had been tied up by D. A. Campbell, who claimed halt interest in the sale of the lay by GoslOw. Receiving notice from Camp bell that he claimed $3.000. the pres ent laymen refused to pay the money over to Goslow, preferring to allow them to fight it out As a result they brought suit upon themselves.
 From the history of the difficulty it appears that Goslow sold his lay on 1 above Otter to Bates. Merritt X Mckenzie last fall for s6.0oO, rep resenting that he was the sole own CT. Subsequently notice comes from Campbell that he owns half. through having grubstaked Goslow
 The present laymen then refused to pay GOslow the balance of the purchase price until they could find out where they stood. GoslOw then instituted suit against them and had the property attached. In order to get the attachment released they were compelled to put up an indem- nity bond of $i.OUO 10 the marshal -Iditarod Pioneer.

A Word to Brain Workers,

Brain workers are wont to commit many indiscretions which not only jeopardize their health both from ever work and failure 10 adapt food 10 their individual needs. but appre- ciably shorten their lives. Further more, failure. rather than success, comes to them because their bodies are not properly nourished an1 that busy brain fed with the necessary elements to sustain il.

AGRICULTURE IN

0. G. Larabee, president ot the Alaska Northern Railroad. contends that the agricultural and stock rais- ing features Of Alaska. especially the Susitna and kuskotwim valleys, have been lost sight of i'll the min eral development of the country.
 lie says these valleys could sun port a grand population as many as 2G,UooOO0 people
 I.arabce presents some data com pairing the agricultural resources oi Alaska to those of Sweden Ciiuhuc and soil conditions in Sweden arc. he shows, identical with th1sc of tGt, two valleys.
 From some information furnished by Larabce il is learned tha, "Rcd. top and bIucstem yield from two to three tons to the acre, and timothy as much.
 "Stockmcn claim that three acres will be a liberal allowance for each head of stock year
 "On this basis, the mountain val leys and plateaus of Kenai peninsu- Ia, containing l,92O.00O acres. eXclu- siye of the mountains, would be ca pable of supporting G4O,OOO head of cattle. On the same ratio the Susit- na valley would furnish winter feed and range for 3.2O0.O0O.
