G. or. CONVENTION
is NOW OVER


political struggle, William Howard
Taft has become nominee of the
Republican party, Theodore Roose
welt has declared himself no longer
member of the old party, and
new party has been born with Ted
dy as its leader.
The convention was opened on
last Tuesday at noon, and closed
Saturday night at 1890. For its
scathing denunciations and bitter
upbraidings, it goes down in his
tory as a convention never before
equaled.
OF the l,07s votes, Taft received
sol. This gave him majority of
81.
The Taftites were expecting the
Roosevelt people to bolt at any
moment, and were surprised when
it failed to happen. However, the
next thing to it occurred-a split.
The Roosevelt faction has decided
to organize progressive party "a
party composed of plain people, for
the benefit of the plain people,
strictly opposed to "Bossism."
Taft's running mate is James
Schoolcraft Sherman. This makes
the Republican presidential lineup
the same as it was in 1908.
The main work the last day of
the convention was the reception
of the reports of the Credentials
Committee on the contested dele
gates. These reports were made in
the midst of many facetious remarks
of the delegates, and amid roars of
laughter.
The Roosevelt crowd met Satur-
day night and perfected tempora
ry organization. They will push
Its completion as soon as possible,
/ and it is expected that they will
hold their convention sometime In
August. This initial meeting was
composed of representatives from
% states. Teddy has slgnihed his
willingness to step down and out if
it is the will of the new party.

ment, or "Valediotory," as it was
called, read by Mr.. Allen of Kan.

called steam roller methods, and
with the scandalous disregard of
every principle of elementary hon
esty and decency, stole so or 90
delegates, putting on the temporary
roll call a sufficient number of
fraudulent delegates to defeat the
legally expressed will of the people
and to substitute dishonest for a

APPENDICITIS CURE
 k SIMPLE ONE

Chicago, Dec. 2O-Dr. Albert Adams, a prominent physician of city. has made the startling amour cement that he has discovered a new and very successful method of treatment m cases of appendicitis which does away entirely with the use of the knife. The doctor states that he has experimented with scores Of cases and in every one Of them he has been able to effect a com plete cure without removing the ap- pendix, or causing the patient either pain or annoyance.
 The treatment, in simple words, consists of the kneading of certain muscles and vertebrae in the region Of the appendix. The simple pres sure on those certain parts of the body. the discoverer declares, has the effect of strengthening the sig mold flexure, after which there is no further danger from attack.
 The announcement of such a sim pie remedy has resulted in attract ing scores of sufferers to the of fices of the physician, and in all of the cases which he has treated, the results appear to have been entirely satisfactory.

Seward, Dec. 2O--A local Transfer Company has a contract to haul ore from the Mile Four property to the Seward dock. Hauling began last week, and at present three tons to the load Is being transported, the road being in good shape. Fifteen tons were shipped to the Tacoma smelter for treatment on the steam CT Yukon, and hereafter shipments will be made on every steamer throughout the winter
 This property, which is now con- troleld by J. W. Hamilton, the eX- perienced mining operator, is very conveniently located for operation both summer and winter, and the development work which is now be- ing done in a systematic manner, shows good results. The indications are that a producing mine of large proportions will soon be in opera ton.

FISH MARKET IN JUNEAU
 SUPERSEDES SEATTLE MARKET

That Alaska fishermen are becom- ing independent of Seattle domin- ation is shown in the following ar ticle taken from the Juneau Elm pire:
 "Juneau's halibut fishing industry has undergone a transformation within the past two weeks. The fishermen have emerged from a condition of servitude to Seattle, since they have been able to find a market at home for the product of their arduous and hazardous toll. New life, and new spirit have been injected into the business of fishing, for the toilers of the sea are now no longer at the mercy of interruptions Seattle fish dealers. They no longer are robbed. They are not powerless as they were when their catches found a market only in the Puget Sound city.
 The making of Juneau a buying center of the halibut industry by a Chicago company marks a distinctly new departure and it should, and will, stimulate it's development in a substantial manner.
 MT. Brooks, who represents the Chicago concern, expects to ship out of the port of Juneau direct to Chicago one hundred thousand lbs. of fresh Salibut every week, which means the payment of about S7,50o weekly from one firm alone to local fishermen-or more than SSO,0OO a month. And the fishermen get their money here and are no longer the victims of the selfish. dishonest greed of Outside dealers to whom, perIorce, hitherto they were com pelled to ship their product"
