The work of instituting the local

The Moose lodge was founded in
1888 at Louisville. Kentucky, by DR..

owe LOO lodges with a membership
of ove 100000. 1t is essentially a.
fraternal and social order, and has

 Sutherland would be particularly strong in the First division. He earned the esteem in which he is held there partly by his own merits and partly by the fact that he was railroaded out of office as United States marshal, together with John J. Boyce as district attorney, by one of the dirtiest jobs the Juneau gang ever framed up. Sutherland and Boyce wouldn't take orders from Shackleford and wouldn't arrange the prosecution of c. NJ. Summers and Gus. OBrien so as to let the defendants slip out easily. They were dismissed from office without a hearing worthy the name, through the aid of those notorious double crossers, Governor Clark and Attor- ney-General Wickersham, and a couple of Shackleford tools replaced them.
 The people of rle First division rendered their opinion of the Suther- landBoyce dismissal by voting more than two to one for Delegate Wick ersham three months later Since then Summers has been indicted on dozen counts for wrecking the First National Bank, of Juneau
 Sutherlands integrity was never assailed by anybody but the Juneau cabal and he has lots of ability. He and Wickersham, advised by their friends, will decide which of the two shall run for delegate on the Wickersham platform and the one who runs can beat any candidate now in the field.

 The Hume runs out to the road, about 2.000 feet from the mine and it is believed that a sufficient sup ply of water can be collected by it when a ditch on the upper side of the road has been dug.

 JAMES WICKERSHAM. ."
 This message from the Alaska delegate al Washington came to F.. F. Ritchie yesterday in Valdez. It means, says the recipient, that Judge Wick"rsham does not care to be dele gate again. but that he is anxious 10 support a candidate who will stand al Washington for what he has rep resented there. Mir Ritchie gave the Miner the following written state ment:
 Judge Wickersham told his active supporters along the coast when he was here last fall that he was anx- ieus 10 retire Service in congress is financial loss to him. and Mrs. Wickersham is anxious for him 10 step out. She was opposed to his first candidacy, his second. and is op- posed to any future race for the office
 Since Judge Wickersham went back 10 Washington his friends in this part of Alaska have been in cor. respOndence with him. telling him that it might be necessary for him to lead the anti-corporation fight in Alaska once more. but that if he should positively decline to run they were of the belief that Dan Suther- land would be the strongest can didate to run in his place A few days ago letter came from Wick ersham saying that he would stump the territory for Sutherland if the latter would run for delegate
 Neither letter nor telegram settles the question of Wickershams can. didacy. Sutherland may decline to run. Or it may be determined by their political associates that Wick ersham is still the strongest man 10 represent the fight against the corporate domination of Alaska through such agents as Hoggatt Shackleford Boryer, Fink, and Linde- berg, aided by federal officials The insurgent Republicans are especially bent on pumping the Taft admin istration in Alaska.
 Many Wickersham Republicans be lieve the present delegate can poll more votes than any other insurgent not because he is better known but because of his certain Demo cratic following which will vote fol him in preference to any Democrat They are determined to force him into the field again if they can.
 It is admitted that Dan Suther land would make a formidable candi date. He is less known in the Third division than anywhere else in Alaska He has been in Alaska or British Yukon since 1897, living longest al Nome, where he is especially strong He has been engaged in mining nearly all the time since he came to Alaska, and is now at Ruby.

half an hour of visitin' with the
bears Bill thought about movin'
on. He'd got over bein' scared
by this time, but he wanted to
find his camp, for, the boat was
goin' to sail next day.. When he
looked around for his canoe his
heart sank. He hadn't tied it real
tight, and it could be seen a mile
or so out in the water, driftin'
away.
Naturally, Bill felt sore. Bears
is all right, but they amt pleas
ant as your only associates. How
ever, this exploring business pre-
pares a guy for all kinds of &C
cidents, so Bill didn't beef, and
decided to make the best of
things. The bears acted mighty
cordial and hospitable, and fol-
lowed Bill as he started scouting
over the island.
First thing he struck right on
the other side of the hill, was
cache of food. That made things
simpler, for there was enough
grub to last two or three years,
and somebody was sure to find
him before then. Bill rugged him
self up little house out of snow,
and settled down to wait for
help. He was much took with
these friendly bears, and the old
leader was real civilized. He'd
sit up, appeared to understand
some of Bills language, and could
eat with Lnife and forl u1ithot1t

and, bein' an old-time ball player,
his THOUGHTS kept turnin' in that
direction. There wasn't'no play
ers, though, but these bears was
alfred intelligent, and durn me
if Bill didn't decide to teach 'em
the game.
Zone mornir' he takes a round s
stone, calls this big bear, and
losses the rock at him. Old Bruin
gives a bear smile, and grabs off
the pill as easy as 1 could, Bill
was near tickled to death. He
tries the game on the rest of the
bunch, and there amt no errors,
They all crowds for a chance to
catch the stone. In day or so
bears was scattered all over this
island playing catch.
Three or four days of this
practice goes by, and Bill decides
it's time for battin' practice. He
found a couple OF sticks, showed
the boss bear how to hit stone
with the bat, and with his help
taught the rest. Sluggers! Bill
told me them bears could knock
that stone mile. The only trou-
bic was they were slow base run
ners. Seem the success of his ex-
pertinent, Bill organized the bears
into two teams, fifteen on a side.
Just a regular infeld, but them
bears could hit so hard nine out

RITCHIE MAY FIX LIGHTWEIGHT
 LIMIT AT l35 LBS
New Champion Said to Dislike Max
 ing 133 Ringside.

The advent of Willie Ritchie as lightweight champion will bring about weight affairs. Ritchie is a natural 135 pound man, and without a doubt he will raise the class limit to that mark for his future matches. There is this. The title has been lost and won at that figure before more often in fact than at the 133 pound mark
 The weight at which the champion chose to defend his title has eyer been the sole basis for defining the limit of the class. However, it may be some time before the. exact weight will be fixed for the Ritchie regime. If he proves to be a ring lawyer given to quibbling he may attempt to keep Pac11ey Mcfarland and other danger the old standard when such matches are offered him. On the other hand Wolgast is still dangerous and for him there is every indication that Ritchie will insist upon 135 pounds.
 Ritchie's manager objected strongly to the weight conditions for the recent bout. Although Ritchie won he would have had an easier time had he not been compelled to reduce so much. Undoubtedly he still has great respect for Wolgast and will refuse to con i turn match. With this important ad- vantage missing Wolgast's chances of recovering his crown do not look over bright
