POLICE OFFICIALS TRY
GOAT, BUT THE GOA,
Finding goats is easy, but
keeping goats is nix.
That is the general sentiment
at the Rawson street police sta

police station knows. =
Three days ago, Otto F. Fendt,
saloonkeeper, Elston and West
North avenues, lost his goat

kind, understand, not the kind
that Taft is mourning.
Fendt reported his loss to the
Rawson street station, and asked
Sergeant Mullen to see to it.
'Sure thing" said Mullen, who
didn't know much about goats
then, and took a description of
the animal and detailed Detec-
tives Binder and Sullivan on the
job. -

Fishers Practical Scheme

About the soundest and most practi- cal suggestion which has yet been ad- vanced in the matter of furnishing Alaska with needed transportation facilities comes from Secretary Fisher, says the P.-I. He. has for some time advocated the construction by the gov srnment of railroad from Seward, by way of the Matunaska coal fields, into the interior of Alaska, the government to take over the existing mileage of the Alaska Northern railroad.
 Now he couples this suggestion with the further one that, immediately on the completion of the Panama canal, the plant there assem- bled, or so much of it as may be needed, together with the trained force which has been dig ging the canal, be transported to Alas- ka and set to work nn this government road. He shows that in the work of digging the canal there has been an im- mense amount of railroad construction of temporary kind; that there has been assem- bled large amount of rail- road equipment which will not be need ed when the canal is opened, and that most of this could be used on a govern ment railroad in Alaska, thus cheapen- ing the cost of construction materially.
 This is eminently practical sugges- tion in every respect. The government has trained construction force work ing on the isthmus, the finest which has ever been assembled in the worlds history. Under ordinary conditions, with the completion of the Panama canal, this splendidly efficient machine will disband and it's working parts will be dissipated into new employment. The machinery, railroad equipment, etc., used in construction work will be sold at petty fraction of its original cost.
 This splendidly efficient machine, splendidly equipped, built up by years of hard work, could be put to no better public use than in the construction of the proposed railroad, which must be built by the government, if at all, for the government policy has driven capi- tai out of such work iu Alaska. It is altogether probable that, using the | Panama force and the Panama equip. ment as it stands, the government could in fact build railroad in Alaska far cheaper than any private contrac. tor could do the work. Congress should accept the situation.

Great Is Alaska

One of the most interesting and op- timistic editorials ever written about Alaska is contained in a recent issue of the Morning Oregonian, of Portland.
 The writer pens beautiful picture of Alaska if the supposed change of the Japan current is permanent. The Oregonian says:
 "Nature seems to have favored the United States in it's acquisition of Alaska. Politicians have exploited it, mercenaries have plucked it,and theor- ists have tried to bottle it, but steadily with the years Nature has unfolded its wealth and disclosed to an astonished world it's grand properties and possi- bilities. Now it's auriferous sands have yielded up ungNessed treasures; now it's colonies of seals have laden commerce with valuable pelts; again it's fisheries have given returns in ex- cess of ak expectation, and yet again, and more wonderful than all, the pos abilities of agriculture within it's great expanse have been established. while its unmeasured tiu Der areas and nn- delved coal mines suggest national i Opulence that in contemplation sarpass tbe dreams of avarice.
 "And now comes report of soften ing of the Arctic into the North Tenn perare zone temperature along the coast through the shifting of the Japan current inshore, due to convulsion of Nature whereby islands have been erupted into the North Pacific. A tenn perature as soft as that of April is re- corded at Skagway, with little or no snow on the gropnd-climatic condi tions that have never before, so far as records show, prevailed in that far Northern city, to account for which the theory of the shifting inshore of the Japan current, due to seismic disturb ances of the ocean-bed, has been ad- vanced.
 "Whatever the cause, the effect noted is magical, and, if permanent, will af- feet the entire peninsula. The great bare uplands of the Yukon river, car psted with wild flowers in the greatest variety and profusion in the short sum mer, and piled high with snow in win ter, will become pr odUctive grain fields | pastures and garden tracts dotted with homes and schools and churches. Stock industry and poultry raising will become profitable and the dependence of the citizens of Alaska upon more southern lands for means of subsist- ence during the long twilight of the year will cease. Homesteading on the great plateaus of the wonderful penin- sula will develop from vague possi- bility into certainty that will furnish an abiding place for thousands; the clutch of conservation will loosen it's hold upon the forest and coal fields, and from the inhospitable silence of the shadowy land known in the geogra. phies of the past generations as "Rus- n-America, ,"-and vaguely known at that-an empire of surpassing beauty and fertility and of boundless resources will be evolved.
 "Nature holds the key to this vast domain. It's surrender to the forces of civilization and development has been demanded, and slowly in her own gracious way, as is her won't in moving in any direction, great nature is yield. ing to the sway of man."

Robbers Secure
Wedding Gifts

Detectives from police headquar-
ters, and plainclothesmen of the Fifth
Precinct are today investigating the
robbery at the home of John Holden,
Of la South Eleventh street, whose
pursuit of the thieves was halted by
his wife. The latter feared her hus-
band would be shot, and the burglar
escaped with several valuable we'd
ding presents.
Early this morning Holden was
awakened by a noise in the apart
ment. He knew the house was being
robbed, but when he was about to
rise and investigate, his wife remon-
strated. She feared he would be shot,
and preferred to lose the presents.
After the burglar departed, Holden
notified the police of the Fifth Pre-
cinct. The reserves responded but
no trace of the intruder was found.

'SCHEUER STORES
ARE ORDERED SOLD
Court Directs Disposal of Three
Places in Suburban
Towns.

Referee Edwin G. Adams in Bank
ruptcy Court today ordered sold the
three stores of Scheuer & Sons, in
Bloomfield, South Orange and Or
ange, following the statement of
Lewis Louis, trustee, that the three
stores could not be operated at a
profit. Mr.. Louis supplemented his
declaration by stating that 1t was
useless to continue business.
Nathan Bilder, representing Mr..
Louis, requested that the stores be
sold through sealed bids, rather than
at public auction. The reason he
gave for this request was that it
would tend to conserve the equity
in the good will To this recon-
mendation the referee agreed. In the
sale is included the leases of the
<.stores and the good will in the three
municipalities where the stores are.
The referee confirmed the sale of
the property owned by Scheuer Il
Bros, at 1896 North Canal street. To
this David Scheuer interposed an OBJ
lection, saying that while the prop
erty was appraised at $4,000 It had
cost him $500 a foot six years ago
and was worth at present s., 900 a foot.
1t was intimated that an injunction
might follow the confirmation of this
sale.
The property was disposed of at
public sale December 2S. The equity
brought $5,050. 1t. was purchased by
Samuel Katz, a local real estate
dealer, subject to an eneumbrance of
$25, 1914. The sale price, according
to Mr.. Scheuer, represented by no
means the real value of the property,
the valuation of which, he said, would
jump when improvements are started
near Centre Market.
Sellck Mindes, counsel for the con-
Germ. however. held that the proceeds
Of the sale were satisfactory.
