LEGISLATION FOR
ALASKA IS Urged

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Thorl
oguhly representative of the interests
of the Pacific coast, the delegation
headed by ex-senator John A. Wilson,
and comprising Congressman Humph-
rey, J. ID. Loman, president Of the
chamber of commerce of Seattle; C.
B. Yandell, its secretary; and ]. J.
Bunker Of San Francisco and others,
that called on President Taft to urge
upon congress the necessity for imme-
date legislation for Alaska has every
reason to plume itself upon the i'm
preston it made Of the chief execu-
tive; whilst the president, in turn,
thinks he has equally good reason for
feeling good over the discovery that
he and every individual member of
the party Of visitors were in desirable
accord. Seattle, Portland, San Fran
cisco ad Los Angeles were repre-
sented by the group OF visitors, which
wants railroad facilities in Alaska,
and also more lighthouses along the
coast, so that water transportation to
and from Alaska will be more safe.
Although the lighthouses are now IS
miles apart, and they are fairly we'll
placed and charted, yet they claimed
there ought to be thrice the number
placed in commission.
President Taft smiled all over as he
listened to the claims of the delega-
ton, and when they had finished,
their speeches, to their delight he
read several passages from his COM
ing message to congress in which he
strongly recommended all that they
wished, and maybe bit more. Among
other things, he also assured them
that he felt it was high time that
something tangible was done by the
nation for Alaska, and said that he
is in favor of a commission form of
government for the territory, half Of
the board of commissioners to be ap-
pointed by the president of the United
States, and the other half to be elected
by the citizens of Alaska.
In answer to the suggestions of
Representative Humphrey he added
that he is decidedly in favor of the
of a trunk line railroad by
the government, but does not believe
in the desirability of the government
operating it. He thinks that the op-
Grafton of that or any other line of
there should be. under pri-
vate management, of course under
proper legal restrictions.

SHERIFF HAD
LONG CHASE

CROSBY, Jan. 31.-Sheriff Nelson
figured in an exciting race and the
capture of an escaping prisoner In
the vicinity of Noonan. He had gone
to Noonan to arrest John Wenhol2
on charge Of grand larceny. It
appears that Wenholz, who was ar
rested once before on charge OF
stealing grain and was released, again
faces a charge of the same kind be
sides attempting to effect an escape
from an officer.
Wenholz was arrested on the out
skirts of Noonan where he has a barn
in which he kept q team Of horses
At the time of the arrest he was &C
companied by another party, and
they were just hitching team: to

son ordered them to drive into Moo
nan ahead of his rig SO that he could
keep water of them.
On arriving in Noonan the prisoner
went to his home and the sheriff aur
ried after him, but was informed that
he was not there, having left by the
back door. Deputies were immediate
ly sworn In and commenced a search
but he was not found in the town
and the work of searching the sur

Sheriff Nelson then drove his team
rapidly in that direction and shortly
was up with the fleeing person who
proved to be the escaping prisoner.
The sheriff called to Wenrolz to
halt, but he continued to run and kept
ahead of the team for a couple of
miles when Nelson again called a halt
and threatened to shoot. The fugt.
tive threw up his hands and invited
the sheriff Il. shoot him. The sheriff
then got out of his rig to get Wen

drove his team as hard as possible

got his automatic revolver In action

The race was about ten miles in

During the W. c. T. U. National
Convention held at milwaukee last
October, a very remarkable and un.
usual thing occured,-for Milwaukee.
The Republican and the Gilpatrick,
two large hotels, where some of the
delegates were being entertained,
closed their bars, placards bearing
the words "Closed in honor of the w.

at the bar entrances.
The action was much appreciated,
and was considered high compli-
ment.

REV. ShUIE'S
Spirited TALK

VALLEY CITY, Jan. 31.-"Those
who are not for me are against me-"
This was the subject of the sermon
delivered at the Methodist church
uast night by Rev. A Lincoln Shute,
continuing the series OF meetings be-
ing held there The church was filled
even to the corners Of the lecture
room and during the course of the
evening nearly thirty persons came
to the front to publicly acknowledge
CONVERSION.
Rev. Shute attacked what he termed
to be some of the agencies of evil that
must be fought by the men OF the
present time and among other things
referred to the philosophy of Chris
tian Science as being one of the most
farcical. nonsensical farces ever given
a guillible public" Then he charged
it with denying every doctrine of the
Christian faith, every doctrine of the
gospel of Christ, and everything thar
science teaches. Mrs. Mary Baker
Eddy was called miserable old rep
rebate"
Rev. Shute said the human heart
is fatally sick with sin. He declared
his belief in the orthodox teaching
that there is an eternal heaven and
eternal hell and continued with the
statement that he believed every man
should have faith he would be willing
to live for, fight for and die for at
any hazard.
God never made men for hell nor
hell for men. He made hell for dev-
lis" said the speaker, and further de-
clared that he believed the world is
on the upward trend although sin
was never so we'll organized nor in
better position to wage relentless war
upon the forces of righteousness.
