Good Prospects for Increased Lode
Mlrlng.

Although most OF the gold still
comss from the placcrs, much prog
ress was made during 1911 In paving
the way for an increased output from
aurlferous lodcE. This work was car
ried ON IN most 20 the gold bearing
areas of Alaska. but the most notable
advances we're Ia the juneau. Valdez,
Renal Pcnins,ala. Willow Creek, ana
Fairbanks districts. Aside from the
Increase In copper mining the advance
made In developing gold lode mines
Ia the most encouraging feature of the
vars operations. Drodge mining AL
40 made great progress. notably In the.
Nome region. Mr. Brooks information
is that, In the entire territory. 90
drc'ig1s were operated for the WHO'S

Aside from the Increased produce

year was the opening OF the Copper
River region by the completion OF
the railway into II. The industries all

DANGER IN RECALL
We Are a Law Ridden People
He Said.
REPRESENTATIVES ARE THE BEST
Effective Government Cannot BE Con-
Quoted Through spasmodic Inter
vention Of Popular
Uprlslngs.

Princeton, N j., May 2.-Attorney
General Wickersham opposed the re-
call and the so-called progressive
movements of government In an ad-
dress here before the Princeton class
Of 1911.
I'VE are In truth law-ridden pe0-
ple," he said, and this tendency is
encouraged and stimulated by those
who seek popular favor by pointing
to easy remedies for obvious ills. Not
satisfied with the overswelling volume
of statute laws, we are now urged to
tinker with the constitution.
There is much cIamorous advocacy
Of measures to limit the powers OF
those charged with the administration
of our highly complicated govern
ment, and to increase the direct inter-
vention OF the public in the conduct
of its operations. 1t Is said that in
the workings Of representative gov
eminent, representatives do not rep
resent the people.
Representatives, have, being hui
man, always will. from time to time
fail in their duty; but in the long
run our representative bodies must
and do give expression to precisely
what the matured thought Of the ma
jority Of the people demands.
"The laws Of state and nation alike
during this period of great industrial
progress had been nodded to facilitate
the conduct Of business on colossal
scale. Here and there occasional
peaks Of garnered riches rose high
above the plain. and like the robber
barons Of the Rhineland, great mas
tiers OF capital sat enthroned upon
them. But their very height lifted
them up where all men could see ana
begin to question how they came
there.

MASKED MAN TRYS TO
KIDNAP FRESHMAN GIRL
Held Up Her Escort and Attempted
to Garry Her Off.

| A week ago William Moore Of
Chapman was held off at the point
Of a revolver while masked man at
tempted to carry off Miss Bottigerr
a pretty freshman girl at X. U. he
had escorted home from a dance at
Lawrence.
When they reached the girls board
ing house they paused minute and
Moore started to say good night and
tell Miss Bottiger what a good time
he had Lad. Before he had finished
man with black mask over his
face vaulted over the railing and
stepping close to both students, COW
cred them with a revolver.
"I've got you and you're coming
with me-" he said to Miss Pottiger,
and to Moore: "You get out Of this
and keep your head shut"
Moore hesitated, but he had no
sort of weapon-not even slipper
bag.
Back off," he said, "and keep
your hands up" and Moore obeyed.
The masked man followed him a
few steps to see that his orders were
obeyed. AS he left her side Miss
Bottiger began to scream.
Two men who lived in the house
ran out, and as they did SO the
man with the revolver turned and
covered them.
''Stand back and hold up your
hands," he told them.
He hesitated a minute, then EVIL
IDENTIFY deciding 1t would not be safe
to carry off the girl with SO many
witnesses looking on, backed off the
porch and off into the shadow, keep
ing the group on the porch covered
until he was out Of sight.
Miss Bottiger is the daughter Of
Richard Bottiger. mayor Of sa-
betha. He is a rich retired farmer.
This is the girls first year at the
university and she has been very
popular. Miss Bottiger is unusually
pretty.
Mr.. Moore is a junior in the coll
lege at X. U. and is one Of the popu-
lar young men there. He is well
known here.

Washington, May "A marked VIC
tory for popular election Of senators

The measure now takes its place at
the head Of the senate calendar
The action Of the committee came
as a surprise, even to the most
sanguine friends Of this great reform.
When the committee met, not even
Mr. Borah thought II would be posi-
BILE to pry out the resolution until
after It had taken the usual commit

The amendment as reported IL
Identical in language with the text
OF the resolution reported from the
judiciary committee by Borah during
the last session and came within four
votes Of having the requisite two
thirds.
Senators Root, Dillingham; and
Clark were prompt to ask for delay
They insisted that the matter ought
to take its natural course The reso.
luton was not new to senators. Mr.
Borah pointed out. 1t had been de-
bated long and exhaustively during
the last session and he insisted that
the committee act at once. Some

way about 1t. When the vote was
taken the committee was recorded as

HIS NOSE AS FISH HOOK.
"Hi' 3homper Peering into Water
When Pickerel Grabbed Him.

W1NSTEAD. Conn, March 6.-"Hi''
shomper. who for many years has been
known here as a fisherman with a repu-
tation for veracity. has returned from
fishing excursion at Otis. In describ-
ing his experience he declared 1t was
somewhat unusual Mr. Shomper's
friends say he is not given to the use
Of superlatives.
While fishing through the ice one Of
his lines became fast. Lying on the ice,
Mr.. Shomper peered into the water to
see, If possible, what was holding the
hook. The rest Of the story Is best
told in his own words.
Just as my nose touched the water a
pickerel grabbed 1t. / jumped back
quickly. and the pickerel fell on the ice
It was fourteen inches long"
For skeptics, Of which Winsted has
it's full share, Mr.. Shomper has the pick
erel and marks Of its teeth on his nose,
for, as he says, even the truth sounds
better when you can prove it
