"lle CO0VenEIOD dC DalbiuOFe was the greatest the democratic party ever held" is the opinion of Maj. J. A.. Strong, of Ruby City, one of the dele gates from Alaska, who, with his wife, is registered at the Frye, says Seattle paper. "The turning point was not reached when Bryan made his famous speech against the Belmont crowd, but few hours letter when that speech had been read ell over the country and the delegates began to hear from folks at home.

 In an effort to safeguard life, tho supervising inspector has ordered that all lake, bay and sound steam vessels must be equipped with sufficient life boatage to carry every person aboard. phe rule states that between May To and Sept. 15, vessels may be equipped with life saving capacity only to the extent of 30 per cent of passengers and crew, while vessels navigating within five miles of shore at all times, or in shallow waters, need have but 10 per cent. These exceptions exempt the eX cursion vessels on the Atlantic and on the Great Lakes, but on Puget sound, where navigationcontinues the entire year, it means that every steam vessel over 65 feet in length must carry the maximum amount of life saving equip. ment the entire year.
 Miss ]. s. Thursby, federal teacher of handicraft at the native schools of Juneau and Douglas, is in the city for few days, on her way south for the summer vacation. Miss Thursby has spent three years teaching in native schools of Southeastern Alaska, and is of the opinion that the Indians of the North outstrip whites in their desire to learn and their skill at applying what they leern. "The one difference" said Miss Thursby yesterday, "is that the Alaskan native doesn't get in SC many school days because he has other things to do-hunting, fishing and va .rious opportunities to earn money. ] also taught cooking to the women. The first thing they wanted to learu was to make cakes and pies. To them sweet things are irresistible. ."-Seattle F. I.
 Railway and Marine News says that the United States is establishing 6 rarely dangerous precedenti in attempt ing to force government control and ownership of railroads in Alaska, lately declared by the supreme court decision to be a'territory the United States and destined in no great length of time to become a state of these United States and one that wiR lead all her sister commonwealths in the produc- tion of minerals, while showing giant strides in other industrial creations. Alaska, with over600,0OO square miles in area and less than 400 miles of rail- road. does not need anti,railroad legis- lation; does not require government ownership of it's transportation lines, norcanit succeed in it's wonderful'de- Ivelopment by the usurpation of any such power as would beg given a govern ment-owned railroad operated in that far removed territory by Washington, I.D C., bureau.

MEDORA HAS some
FAST FIRE Fighters

Medora, N. D. Sept. 25.-Fire started
in the wood and ice house of the John
Britt place a mile south of MedOra,
and was not discovered until the
whole building was burning freely.
Mrs. Britt had built a fire of cedar
wood in the cook stove for the prepar
alton of dinner; soon she saw that
the building, which is eight feet from
the house, built of ties and about I6
by 80 feet, was afre. She and Conrad
zieger did what they could to save
the main house, and began carrying
the furniture out.
Mr.. Britt was just starting home
when he saw the smoke; others soon
saw the same sign and it was but a
few minutes when there was help at
the scene with fire extinguishers and
other apparatus for the control of it..
By great effort, handicapped by the
lack of water, the fire was kept from
the main house. Ropes were thrown
over the upright stoCkades of the
burning building and they dragged it
away. This lessened the danger to the
house. When water was gotten from
the river the flames were soon con-
trolled.
The building was used as an ice
and coal house. In It were several
tons of coal and some flax straw that
had been used in packing ice. 1t is
thought that spark from the Chin
ney ignited the straw. Beyond a
slight scorching and some broken
windows, there was no damage to the
residence.

their vote to close a street for the
beneft of the railroad company. He
also testified that after that and prior
to the arrest of the councilmen, each
had actually received alleged brihe
money or had promised to take it.
Charges of promising to accept a
bribe on which Aldermen Merritt, Zoel-
Ter and SkrZycki were arrested some
time ago, were dismissed in justice
court yesterday. Merritt and zoeller
have still to answer to the conspiracy
charge.

Pssume Car Service
New Form Of Fighting in Use
by the Strikers )

Duluth, Sept. 25.--Willing to end the
strike, the union car men of Duluth
today made known the terms upon
which they would return to work.
These include, "All men now on strike
to be taken back without prejudice.
excepting the original nine men dis
charged, the cases of the nine to be
arbitrated, and they to be reinstated
If they were discharged because Of the
union; that a grievance committee of
the men be permitted; that the com
pany will not be asked to recognize
the union, an open shop, but no OBJ
lection to unionism: that spread of
hours which now requires the men to
be. on duty thirteen to sixteen hours
to get in ten hours work be reduced
to. a twelye-hour spread; that no in
creased wage scale is asked; the cor
rection of the demerits system; that
the rule requiring the men to be on
duty ten minutes before their time be
modified"
These propositions General Manager

said. The Traction company will ap-
peal to the state supreme court against
the decision of Judge DibelI ordering
the company to resume car service.
The appeal acts as a stay and the
writ of the trial court stands prac-
tiCally suspended,
stink bills have been introduced
as new weapon for the sympathizers.
Car crews and passengers have been
forced from the cars by this method.
