Verse He Learned in Missouri

Frederick was only 4 and had just returned to his home in Alabama after a visit to relatives in Missouri. Within a week or two he went to Sunday school for the first time. The previous Sun- day the teacher had told the little ones to come prepared to speak little verse from the Bible or their Sunday school paper.
 When it came Frederick's turn she said; "Frederick, this being your first Sunday, I presume you haven't 8 verse"
 Frederick, with great deal of conf- dence, replied: "Yes, ma'am, have"
 @very we'll. let us have it."
 At which Frederick chirped up blithely:
 "You gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun'."-Kansas City Star.

The following notice appeared in 6 recent issue of the Ketchikan Miner: The protection of the food fish of AL aska is the most important question that can come before our people at the present time, the Ketchikan Fisher mems Association have issued pe tition to congress to enact law abol ishing fish traps from the waters of Al aska and ask all the inhabitants of Southeastern Alaska to sign the same. A committee appointed by the said as sociation will call upon every resident of this community, asking them to sign the petition.
 The rainfall of Friday was probably the heaviest in the history of Valdez, from 8 in the morning until at night the record shows a fall of not quite two inches During the night the town was treated to an Alaska rarity in the shape of thunder storm, accompanied by lightning. Prof. Martin, of the geo. logical survey, who spent several months near Katmai, says that the vol cano is continually belching forth vast quantities of vapor and he attributes the unprecedented fall of rain this year to the precipitation of the volcanic va pors.-Miner.
 Lieut.. Prosser, of the signal corps, who has been on trip of inspection of the telegraph stations between Valdez and the Tanana, reports that Mount Wrangell is in eruption and is more active than at any time since white men have been in the Copper river val. ley. Wrangell smokes continually, but this fall it is throwing out lava in considerable quantities. Instead of one crater there are now at least seven vents, some of them low down ou the peak. From these there is a steady flow of lava, which can be clearly dis. tinguished with field glass. This lava flow goes down across the glacier fields on the mountain slope and is causing great increase in the volume of the streams draining that district. From Kotsina it is reported that the sulphur ous fumes are so strong that prospect. ors working near the Kotsina glacier are driven out. There seems to be no ash coming from the volcano, but the smoke and gas are rising in great quan- titles. Wrangell is only about 130 miles from Valdez, and about thirty miles from the settlement at Copper Center.
 IDITARoD, Sept. 3O.--The jury which has been listening to the trial of Wm. Campbell charged with the killing of the Nelson brothers, returned verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree, this morning after being out since Sat- urday afternoon. Gus and John Nelson were operators in the Kuskokwim coun- try about year ago and it was sup posed that they had considerable mon ey on them. Campbell was working ID the vicinity and afterwards left rather suddenly. Some Indians of the vicin- ity had noticed the absence of the Nell son brothers and started 8 search for them which resulted in the finding of their bodies buried near the cabin. They reported the discovery to the marshal who started search for him, tracing him to Ruby City, where he was taken into custody and charged with the murder, which today resulted in his conviction. Campbell at one time worked in the Kluane country and l is known in Whitehorse.

f. The news has reached here from Ken- necott to the effect that Chris. Tjosvig, better known as "Red Chris" has taken couple of pot shots at his brother, Nels, over disagreement both had in regards to mining property both own in common near the Kennecott mine, in the copper belt, which is said to be very valuable, and which they have had number of opportunities to dispose of at satisfactory figures, but for the fact that they could never reach an agreement when the time of sale came. Some time ago they were involved in law suit over their holdings, since which time there has been bad blood between the brothers, which culminated about ten days ago in a quarrel in which Chris. took shot at Nels. with his revolver, and missing, sought his rifle and fired second time at his fleeing brother, but fortunately again missing.
 The necessity of electing business men to the Territorial legislature rather than men tied to a political creed or platform, is set out in the Seward Gate way in the following language: lnsc- far as the Gateway has been able to ob- tain local sentiment, non-partisan convention is favored for the nomina. ton of candidates for two senators and four representatives from this district to the territorial legislature, provided for in the Alaska home rule bill. It is argued that there are no political ques- tions arising which would justify the drawing of political lines. The powers of the proposed legislature are very limited and restricted Every law pass ed by it is subject to be set aside by the national congress. This legislature, however, can do much good in the way of making recommendation and sug- gestious, in matters of legislation over which it has no control, to the congress. Such recommendations, coming from duly elected representatives of the ter ritory, would carry much weight. It is therefore advisable that good, substan- tial, level-headed men be chosen to rep resent us in the territorial legislature rather than self-seeking politicians. Tue opening of the resources of Alaska is what we desire, and this can best be done by ali parties joining in concert and putting forth vigorous demand, through partisan territorial leg islature, to the national congress.

The Valdez Miner says: The total rainfall from Septem Der to noon, Sep tenn Der 28, was IS and 1-4 inches. These figures are from the returns as kept by the official observer.
 The Ellemar mine is shipping con- siderable high grade copper ore, taken from the new find between the 200 and 300 foot levels. Last month this prop erty shipped 3,OO9 tons of ore to the Tacoma smelter.
 The Alaska home rule bill, which has become a law and which the Wicker shamites profess to be so jubilant about, is chiefly noted fer what the territorial legislature cannot do, rather than for what it can do.--EX.
 Sulaer owns the Sulaer mine, cop per property on Prince of Walee island in southeastern Alaska, and has made fifteen trips to the north, having been interested in Nome in the early days, and was always fighter fer home rule for this territory.
 Accompanying the formal notice of his appointment as superintendent Of national monuments for Washington and Alaska, Andrew Christensen, chief of the field division of the general land office for the Northwest, received au order signed by President Taft, modi. flying c previous proclamation, with drawing from entry large section of land near Resurrection bay.
 FAmnANms, Sept. 28.--Henry Roden, assistant district attorney, law partner of Delegate James Wickersham, end agent in the Fairbanks district for the Guggenneims, is the choice of popu Jar convention for territorial senator from the Fourth Alaska division. Ro- don was nonInated to the senate last Saturday night, defeating John Roman : democrat, who ran 2 close second. Ro- nan at one time ran fer delegate to ccn- gross from Alaska,
 The naval tender Nero, now st Whit shed, is practically rebuilding the wire less station. Tue masts have been ele vated to the height of 300 feet and two 25-horse power gasoline engines are used to generate the power, and it will become 10 kflowat station, which is considered of very high power and long range. It is expected that the station will be able to communicate with Nora Head, near Seattle, when the installa- tions are complete. The Nero has been in Alaska all summer and has finished the naval wireless at Unge and Unamak pass.-Ex.
 Citizens generally are not at all pleased by the knowledge that neither the Alaska assem ply nor municipalities can levy tax on railroad company properties, says the Seward Gateway. This little joker was slipped in, how ever, and may explain why the delegate got majority of votes on the Copper river road. That this bill pleases the big companies is manifest in the elec- tion results at the big trading posts. At Panama, an N. 0. company post on the Yukon, and which gave Orr big majority, at the recent election gave 8 big majority for Wickersham. Why this remarkable change? The next session of congress will probably reveal the reason, which is now known to those on the "inside."

The possibility that within four
years the japanese navy will excel
the American in strength should
make every man in the United Stat
e. consider what that might mean.
At present Germany and the Unit
ed States are rivals for second place
among naval powers, with the advan
tage probably, slightly on the side
Germany; but the Germans are go
ing ahead, and 80 are the Japanese.
Unless congress makes liberal appro-
priations for building warships, both
Germany and Japan will within four
years surpass this country; and in
stead of contending for second place
the United States will have to be
content with fourth.
Men and women may talk about
peace as much as they please. and
dream both night and day about dis
armament; but all such talk and all
such dreams would avail nothing in
tho face of a powerful hostile fleet.
II Great Britain, Germany and jap
If they scout at the idea of disarm-
ament, how can the United States
afford to make no preparation for
war? Presumably Japan's sentiments
toward the United States are peace
full; but what would they be If the
japanese navy were much the strong
err Great Britain and Germany may
be charging their navies with spec
ial reference to each other; but why
should Japan, burdened with debt
and scanty in resources, spend mil
ions upon the construction OF bat
tleships?
The United States is rich. 1t has
,reat possessions. Its vast wealth,
its ability to pay big war indem.-
ity, may be a temptation to some
aggressor-not necessarily Japan, blu
any power possessing a strong navy.
The constitution places upon the
federal government the obligation
to provide for the common defense
Congress can comply with this OBJ
legation only by making the. defenses
of the country, and especially the
navy, equal to the demands which
may be made upon them.

On tomorrow afternoon the ]

On tomorrow afternoon the Re
publicans of Delta COUNTY, at the
precinct primaries are supposed to
declare their choice for a presiden-
tial candidate, and a poll will be
taken for that purpose. In as
much as this straw vote is to be
taken. we hope to see it as thorough
as possible. The Independent does
not object to a presidential primary,
especially if it is held over a state
Unless it is so held, it can only have
its small proportion OF influence.
The Influence this vote will have
on local politics, however, would be
as great as vote of the whole
state would have on national poll
tics, so it will be much better for
the Republicans to turn out and
vote at the primaries tomorrow aft
ernoon. 1t not only gives them an
opportunity to express their choice,
but to show something OF their
strength in the county. Two thous
and ballots have been provided for
the purpose and we hope they will
all be voted.

1t is quite possible that Col.
Roosevelt could carry Colorado by
a larger majority than could any
other man, provided, of course. that
Colorado voters may be coun ted
upon to retain the same radicalism
and unreliability which has charac-
terized them in the past. In case,
however, they have gained wisdom,
and have grown somewhat tired of
the political vaudeville. they would
cast an equally large vote for Pres
ident Taft, the more conservative,
as well as perhaps more genuine
refOrmer.
