The middleweight wrestling cham pionship of the United States is still undecided. At Salt Lake City, Mike Yokel and Henry Gehring net, both men claimed the championship, and after wrestling three hours and eight minutes without fall, the match was declared draw. The crowd re- fused to stand for this decision and the wrestlers met again, but as no fall was the result of another half hours bout the match was finally de- clared a draw. It is pleasure to see contest like this when two men are so evenly matched.

In the light opera, "Mademoiselle Modiste." there is song which really
 Is the "chef d'aeuvre' of the whole piece. The song, "I Want What I Want When I Want It." was roared out at the top of a mans voice, who was afflicted with whiskey in the foot-i. e. the gout, and his servants were just tumbling over one anoth- CT in their hurry to wait. on their master. It is very fine to have a bunch of servants to wait on us, and we have it one way-the Congress and the Senate-but after we (the people) employ them they at various times refuse to do our bidding and leave us to whistle for what we want when we want it. And that is just how Alaska stands with her coal lands. What we want is for them to be opened up, but the servants of the people (the government) do

affair. In talking to his friends, MT. Balilnger took occasion to make some pointed observations on present day political tendencies. He deplored the responsibility that is springing up everywhere as a result of the wiping out of party lines. That the funda- mental principles of this government are being lost sight of, is MT. Bal fingers conclusion. He says the country is being swept headlong from a Republican form of government to Socialist democracy.

S. P. Beecher has at last succeeded in collecting the $350 that was ow- ing to him for services performed for Dr. Cooks Mount Mckinley expedi- tion. Now the doctor was one of the most collosal liars the world has ever known, in fact, he seems to have out distanced all liars in the past. But first in lying is no criterion that he was first in paying his debts.

Washington, D. C., April 6.-One of the most vital questions to con- gressmen is, that of committee as signments. A members importance is gauged largely by the kind of com- mittee assignments he receives. Nat urally, there is keen rivalry for the desirable places, and the stars in Q theatrical company never showed more rivalry over the selection of dressing rooms than is shown by sen ators and representatives regarding the committee rooms and offices they are to occupy. As rule the choice of offices is arranged by senority, subject, of course, to the question of which party is in power. The mem- bers of the minority take what the members of the majority do not want, and the new members take what they can get.
 Little is known as yet regarding the probable makeup of the com mittees. A few of the good places are parceled out For instance it is known that MT. Underwood, of Alabama, will be chairman of the committee on Ways and Means. MT. Fitzgerald, of New York, will be chairman of, the big committee on Appropriations. MT. Ben Johnson of Kentucky, will be the chairman of the committee on District of G. lumbia-which the District will not like But most of the chairrianships are greatly in doubt. In the Senate also there is little known with cer- tainty how the committee. will be made up-at least as regards the new members who are coming in.
 Washington, D. O., April G. While any day may make a great change in the situation on the Mexi- can border and force the admins tration to show it's hand regarding the "maneuvers" of the military forces, the decision of the President for the nonce is to let Congress take control of the situation. Congress, judging by the vigorous expressions by various individual members of that body, will be nothing loath to do so. It is fine chance for Dem- ocratic inquiry and investigation. But will the country be any the wis CT for the inquiry? Such probing as is threatened is undertaken with the proviso that information be fur nished, if it can be done without pre- judice to the interest of the nation. Now, if grave questions of state prompted the movements of the army and navy, and presumably they did it is quite likely that those reasons will not be published recklessly to the world. Notwithstanding this, there will be opportunity for a large quantity of sensational debate in Congress, all of which will give the news associations work and the peo- pie interesting reading. The Presi- dent has assured Japan, and all the rest of the world, that this country had no thought of any possible diff culties with the Mikados realm. However, the military activity and the speculations regarding the causes for it have caused the public to give

THE LAST SPIKE.

The driving of the golden spike has become a common occurrence since the days of the Union and Gen. 'tral Pacific railroads. On March S0th the Copper River & North western railway finished track laying and in place of the usual golden spike copper one was driven. To the world in general the driving of this copper spike does not signify much, but to those that are interested in civil engineering, mining and the development of Alaska the driving of this copper spike at 3:3O p. m. Wednesday, March 29, 1911, is one of the red letter days of modern civ ilization. In the first place 1t means that the c. R. & N. w. railway has finally reached it's goal that it and it's hardy army of pioneer workers have been striving to reach for the last four years against the greatest forces that nature has within her hands for men to overcome. Nowhere else in the world has there been such a stupendous piece of engineering work carried on against tte elements. Dur ing the long cold winter months when the mercury hovered anywhere from 20 to 50 degrees below zero the work was steadily pushed on.
 And the goal of this work, what? The greatest virgin copper mine the worldl lhas ever known, waiting until this road and it's hardy army of workers had finally pushed the steel up to it so that it can pour out its thousands of tons of ore to the smelters and show the world what wonderful copper mining country Alaska is.
 For years the wealth of this mine has been known and the mining world has ever known, waiting until railroad has been completed to it. With the Bonanza mine as a shipper other copper properties will be open ed up and within few years the rail- road should be one of the greatest ore carrying roads in the world. This mine has it's bunkers full of ore that is going to be shipped just as fast as the cars can be loaded and hauled away. None of this ore is less than 40 per cent and runs up as high as so per cent, and will open the eyes of many mining operators on. the outside.
 The copper spike was driven by MT. B. c. Hawkins, chief engineer for the railroad company, and Mr. Sam Murchison, of the contracting company. The only thing that marr- ed the ceremony was the absence of M. J. Heney, the contractor, and, we might say, the father of the c. R. & N. W. railway, who death took from our midst some months ago be- fore he was able to see the dream of his life fulfilled.

Fraud Conviction At Boise.

When w. D. Garlock of Sho-
shone, a well-known mining man
of southern Idaho, convicted of
using the mails to defraud in the
promotion Of a fake mining
scheme, was arraigned in the
federal court today before Judge
Dietrich and sentenced to serve
two months in the Lincoln county
Jail and pay in addition a fine of
$500, he openly wept while his
wife and daughter sobbed at his
side, says a Boise dispatch of the
18th.
Garlock was the alleged high
er-up" in the mining venture.
Organizing the King-Hill-Jar-
bridge Investment company and
using a list of names of deceased
members Of the Modern Wood
men Lodge, he mailed notices to
these persons that brokerages
fees were due for the transfer
of mining stock.
The heirs received the notice
and RENTED through money or
ders.
The brokerage fees were faxed
and the mining stock worthless.
Chas. P. Diehl, who worked
with Garlock, pleaded guilty to
the charge of using the mails to
defraud, and it was upon his evil
dence that Garlock was arrested,
tried and convicted in 20 minutes
by a jury in the federal court
