YES, THE CHIEF KILLED II
By golly, the police force of
Chicago has found something it
can do,at last.
1t may not be able to stop
drunken joy-riders killing citi-
zens;
And it may not be able to stop
newspaper. thugs shooting down
citizens;
And it may not be sure it can
induce the American to give up
one Of its thugs when that thug
has committed murder;
But, by golly, it can and it will
stop Chicago boys and girls hav-
ing fun with pushmobiles.
Chief McWeeny has Weakened
up to the tremendous danger of
the pushmobile, and he has or
dered his cops to see to it that
the pushmobile goes.
The chief was asked about it
today.
ooh, there is great danger in
the pushmobile," he said, very
great danger, indeed.
''You may not believe it, but |
actually believe the pushmobile
is more dangerous than the roller
skate, which we already have had
to Danish from the streets"
"How many people has the
pushmobile killed, chief?" the re-
porter asked, beginning to believe
that maybe the chief was right |
about it.
'Well, they haven't killed any

A few months ago he traded two lprrfrctly good cayuscs for beau tiful young "E-lah," an Indian maiden, accounted among the members of the tribe as the "catch' of the reservation. Now Jim declares that he was buncocd and has demanded that the fath- CT of the girl give him back his ponies and take thc daughter, with whom he says he will not live.
 Jim deserted "E-lah" the other day and appealed 10 Prosecutor Ramsey to see that he obtained justice. In consequence of Jim's action band of Tumwaters have been bcsicging Ramscy's office here to prevent any re-tradc. Ramsey says he sees no way out of the tangle and has about de- cidcd to turn the case over to In- dian Agent Young, at Fort Sim COG, for decision.
 Prosecutor Ramsey cam here from Chicago ten years ago anf has been, active in public affairs since. He organized the Devcl- opment league, was elected secrc- tary and introduced the "matri- mOnial prize" for the couple who were chosen to be married on the Klickitat fair grounds. He is q bachelor.

THE CRYING NEED.

There has not been congress- man or federal official in Alaska Investigating the conditions there who has not, upon returning to the states, stated that one of the crying needs of the northern ter ritOry is better means of trans portatiOn. All AlaskanS have known this since the opening of the first gold diggings in the north--that the future develop ment depended almost entirely upon transportation.
 While the federal government has been spending many thou sands of dollars in the north building wagon and sled roads, the vast majority of these are constructed for winter freighting; that is, frcighting with slcds. Other trails and roads construct ed, owing to the peculiar cOndi- lions of the north, are almost un- fitted for summer travel. What are needed are railroads, which can be operated i2 months in the year. Only railroads will devel- op the north. They are more necessary in Alaska as a means of industrial development than in the states.
 The future of Alaska will de pend upon it's mineral resources. To develop these economically takes machinery of the latest type and pattern. This machinery is in many cases too heavy to be transported by anything except by railroad. Railroads cannot be Op- eratcd economically without cheap fuel. This brings the whole back primarily upon the development of the coal fields of the north.
 Secretary Fisher realizes this. So does PinchOt, Poindexter, Sul- ger and other officials who in spected the coal fields of the north and studied the conditions there last summer. This fact has caused two separate bills, ask ing for the construction of a fed eral railroad in the north. tO be intrOduccd into congress. The action taken on these bills will to a very large extent show Inc al titudc of congress towards Alas ka.
 No congressman can plead E- nOrancr to the actual conditions in the northern territory. NO one has tO lake the word of any one man, or group of men. The sta tlSticS of the government experts. reports of various newspaper writers and the Alaskan papers all point out the needs of Alaska. All persons can without any great amount of trouble familiariZc themselves with the actual con- ditiOnS which must be met be- fore the territory can start it's actual industrial development.
 This is not only matter of vii tai importance to the coast, but the entire country. as the growth and development of Alaska means a greater growth of the trade conditions in all parts of the country and increased prosper ity.--TacOma Tribune.

 To Memory of Late
 Jurist and Colleague

Attorneys W. H. Arnold, T. E. Webber and E. F. Friedell, ham, ed by the Texarkana Bar Associa- ton, to prepare a tribute of res pect to the memory of the late Judge Joel D. Conway have sub- mitted the following report.
 Death has idvaded the circle of the Texarkana Bar and took from us our professional brother Judge Joel D. Conway who de- parted this life on the 5th of September. 1912, in the 67th year of his age.
 He was born at Washington. Arkansas, on the 26th day of April, 1846. He was widely known. The names of Conway who were relatives of the de- ceased are inseparabIy connected with the developing and upbuild- ing of Arkansas long before she became a state, and Joel D. Con way is a worthy successor.
 Be it resolved that in t h e death of Judge Joel D. Conway the Texarkana bar has sustained a severe and sad loss.
 He was a man upright a n d honorable in his dealings with his fellow men, He was devot. ed to his profession, and was pleasant and agreeable in his ln- tercourse with the members of the bar.

A TWOfOLD PROBLEM

The wide-awake business man looks after two things economy of production a n d economy of distribution, The wise farmer must also look after both. He cannot afford to neglect either. As Sir Horace Plunkett says: An efficient department (of agri- culture) can help the farmer to grow more crops and breed bet ter cattle and do these things at less expenditure than when his out put was smaller in amount and inferior in quality. But he will not get a full reward of his intelligence and enterprise, un- less he learns to control the dis tribution of his produce and ob- tains working capital on suitable terms. This he cannot do until he adopts t he cooperative method. On the other h a n d, what is the use of organizing the farmers, if they are not making good use of the land?

 Jim will you take Bet,
 Without any regret,
 To love and cherish,
 Till one of you perish,
 And is laid under the sod,
 So help you God" ]" After being answered in the affirmative by Jim, the squire turned to pet and said:
 Bet, will you take Jim,
 And cling to him,
 Both out and in,
 Through thick and thin,
 Holding him to your heart,
 Til death do you part. '' Bet acquiesced by a modest bow of the head, and now the happy pair was dismissed as fol- lows:
 Through life's alternate joy and strife,
 l now pronounce you man and wife,
 Go up life's hill till you get to the level,
 And salute your bride, you black rusty devil"
