 It looks to the people in that vicinity as though MT. Woods had done nj ore bookkeeping than roadwork.
 The Grand Jury now In session at Fairbanks would do we'll to make some inquiry into that dream, and have MT. Woods explain just when and where the money that he speaks about in his report was expended, and who performed the work. $500 will make considerable i'm provements on roads. They should De plainly visible to the eye, but in this case they are invisible.
 Therefor it is my opinion that if John is interrogated by the Grand Jury. he will make considerable correction to that report or dream.

THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS.
 OF THE WORLD
(Continued from Page ID

from which they get the name of the 'Bummery,'' to forage wherever they could get chance, but principally in labor unions and Socialist locals. One of their theories was that the best way to abolish capitalism was to go to the very roots of capitalism and the source of ex- ploitation, , labor. They reasoned: If we don't work the capitalist class cannot exploit us, and while practicing this program as much as they could they also worked many others, not the least of, which was the one whereby they worked those that did work and were exploited by the capitalist class for all there was in it.
 When the capitalist saw this new aggregation he smiled, of all the curios that had popped up here was the. best of all another Coxey Army, only where the followers of Coxey were looking for work, the Bummery had a program that prohibited them from working, except E. z. Marks The capitalist even contrib utee when they passed the hat.
 HALLELUJAH ON THE BUM.
 (Tune Revive us Again.") O, why don't you work
 Like other men do?
 How in hell can I work
 When there's no work to do?
 Chorus.
 Hallelujah, I'm bum,
 Hallelujah, bum again,
 HaQelujah. give Us handout--
 To revive us again.
 o, why don't you save
 All the money you earn?
 If did not eat
 I'd have money to burn.
 o, like my boss.
 He's good friend of mine;
 That's why am starving
 Out i'll the bread-line-
 can't buy job,
 For I ain't got the dough,
 So I ride in box-car,
 For I'm hobo.
 Whenever I get
 All the money earn,
 The boss will be broke, And to work he must turn.
 However much the Bummery III ay defy the law and however much tlTey may spit on the ballot box and advocate direct action, there is one thing about them that we must admire and that is their shiftiness. They are very bold and bad men until capitalist law lays it's iron hand upon their shoulders when they in stantly set up the howl for law and order and invoke the protection of the law

Now, the question arises are those en- actments made at Juneau laws at all !? Or is there some object ill their not being enforced? However, it appears a S the y stand that the Territory says we cannot enforce them and the U s, Government says we won't. That is our first experi- ment ill home rule If I remember right there were some fifty odd amendments made to the Criminal and thirty to the Civil Code of Alaska. And although they are bound up i'll beautiful volume cost ing steen' dollars, they are all dead letter now for the waRt of the chicka- mum.
 w. T. BnrnS informed us, on his re- turn from Juneau, that the first legis- lature of Alaska was composed of a very earnest conscientious body of men that were deeply interested in the future welfare of Alaska. And if they had made any mistakes while at Juneau they were surely mistakes of the head and not of heart" It begins to look now as though whatever might have been the condition of their hearts, their heads were certain ly out of whack, and their time was poorly spent.
 It seems strange that there are no funds to enforce some of the Territorial laws while others can be enforced very easily. The poll tax collector is very busy at present, and acting, we are told, under one of the acts passed by the Legislature of Alaska. That obnoxious poll tax we still have i'll a somewhat modified form though a great many of the voting dupes thought 1t would be expunged from the Alaska Statutes. But 1t appears 1ik e Banquos ghost, it will not down. It is one of the Territorial laws that can easily be enforced. It furnishes its own revenue and adds all additional income to the office of U. s. Commissioner.
 Although Section II of the enabling act expressly provides That no person holding commission or appointment under the United States shall be mem Der of the Legislature or hold any office under the government of said Territory But if you will read any of the poll tax receipts issued il Vault Greek for til ( year 1913, you will find the name of $. R. Weiss, Commissioner, collector. But little things like that do not amount to much,
 About year ago we were told through the columns of the newspapers that the N. c. Co. owed the U. $. government about S20,000 ill back taxes. That suit had been entered i'll the courts for t Il e collection of same. That the company were protesting the payment, but we have not been informed as to whether they have paid the amount or not yet
 It is much easier to collect a poll tax ill any court from a workingman than it is for workingman to collect his wages i'll that same court. If the worker does not find the four dollars to pay the tax he will easily find the jail.

MONEY SPENDER
WAS La MALTA
HE DROPPED s27 IN SHAKING
DICE UP AT THE FORKS AND
GOT FOUR BOXES OF CIGARS,
TWO or WHICH HE GAVE AWAY,
rsETTLED FINE AND COSTS.

Young John LaMalfa. the youth who
broke into the Orpheum theatre early
Saturday morning, must have cut a
wide swath up in Grand Forks on
Saturday night and in the afternoon
Of the same day.
AS was stated yesterday he left on
the first train out of town after hav-
ing committed the burglary here.
Police Captain Sullivan Of Grand
Forks, in a letter to Chief of Police
keefe of this city, stated that LaMal-
"a spent $27 Saturday night at the
Forks in shaking dice, winning four
boxes of cigars, two Of which he gave
away to the boys about the hotel. Then
he paid back $40 which he had stolen
from a friend while he was in Grand
Forks, in addition to a fine and costs
amounting to $40. Then he paid So
for a razor that he had stolen there
ON time ago. In conclusion, the
police captain says that La Malta
must have had at least $500 when he
landed at the Forks, for he had a
lot Of clothing in addition to what he
spent, n had only 500 when he was
ken into custody.
He had his hearing yesterday after
noon before Police Judge Miller and
again entered a plea Of guilty and was
sent to the county jail to await the

RUSSELL CO.
and 500 RY. FINED.
PLEADED GUILTY ON TECHNICAL
CHARGE OF GIVING AND RE.
cElVlNG MILLING REBATES, IN
U. 8. DISTRICT COURT AT MIN
NEA9oLIs.

The Russell-Miller Milling Co., with
headquarters in Minneapolis, pleaded
guilty last week to a technical charge
Of receiving rebates in the United
States district court at Minneapolis,
and was fined 81 1000 on each of the
FIVE counts to which they pleaded.
In pleading guilty, Willis Helm,
manager of the company, stated that
the violation of the law had been
wholly un%intentional on the part of
the company, n that the mistake
had been made by. an employee of the
company not familiar with the law re-
garding shipments.
Following is the comment of The
Northwestern Miller on the case:
The case Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the Russell Miller
Milling Co, and the 500 railroad for
irregularity in the use of m~illing-in-
transit freight rates came up for hear
ing in the United States district court
today. After a conference of the vari-
Gus interests concerned, the defend
ants pleaded guilty to five of the
eighteen counts named in the federal
grand jury indictments, without the
case going to trial. Judge Morris, who
heard the pleadings, assessed fines Of
$4,000 each against the milling com-
pany and the railroad. The ase
against Thomas E. Sands, general
1relght agent OF the 300 ROAD, was
nolled,
The action was based on the charge
that between Sept. % and Oct. "a,
1911, eighteen cars Of mill products
were shipped by the milling company
from Valley City and Minot, N. D., to
Minneapolis and that by diverting
these cars to Chicago, instead of al
lowing them to go to Gladstone, Mich,
as originally routed, an advantage Of
4c per 100 pounds was obtained.
The milling transit rate. Valley
City to Gladstone was 16c. The pro-
portion to Minneapolis under this rate
was &c, while the proportion under the
rate, Valley City to Chicago, was 13c.
BY diverting the carr in question.
shipped under the Gladstone rate to
Minneapolis, to Chicago, the 4c was
gained, and it was upon this that the
charge of rebating was founded.
1t was understood that the infrac-
ton of the law was wholly q technical
and not an Intentional one, and was
caused by an employee of the Russell
Miller Milling Co., who was not con.
versant with the necessity of adhering
to the original routing, billing the cars
to Chicago instead of to Gladstone.

CUPID GIVES
DOUBLE WEDDING
GEORGE ALVoR0 OF DEVILS
LAKE TO WE'D FIRST LOVE
AFTER THE SECOND ELoPEs-
THE LATTER Is BEING DI.
VoRcED.

A Camden, N. j., special to The
Chicago Tribune says:
Coupled with the announcement of
the engagement Of George Alvord of
Devils Lake, N. D., who is visiting his
sister at 621 Henry street, and Miss
Matt a Koss of Rosebud, Mimi, is a
story of romance will be the fulfill
ment OF their early dreams after an
estrangement in which Alvord took
another as his wife and through whom
he was betrayed by a close friend.
Much interest has been aroused in the
romance. Assistant City Solicitor Al
bert 5. Woodruff will likely act as best
man.
Alvord and his bride-to-be were
reared in Freedom, Wis. Fifteen
years ago, when they had become
sweethearts, they took up homestead
rights at Rosebud. Each had 100
acres n they remained steadfast
friends for several years or until they
received title to the land from the
government. For a time AIvord serv-
ed as sheriff of the county, and in an
other capacity drove a wagon across
the wilds for Uncle Sam.
Parted by misunderstanding.
When everything was going smooth
iy, Alvord said today, he and his
re' tn"u'L iI1u d misunderstanding.
He pulled up stakes. went to Milwau-
kee, and there met Miss Agnes Eckert,
whom he married. That was seven
years ago, and several years later he
came to Camden to make his home
with his sister at the Henry street
address. He brought with him Paul
Werner, a German, who boarded near
by. All went we'll until one day AL
word found that his wife had disap-
peared. So had Werner. He traced
them to New York, and after a time
secured a. divorce from the woman.
On becoming freed from the first
woman Alvord correspondent with
Miss Koss and learned that the old
spark of love could be famed into
life. The upshot of the matter was
that Miss Koss consented to become
Alvord's wife as soon as she had dis
posed of her ranch. This she has done
and will soon come east.
Tired of Wife He Stole.
In the meanwhile Alvord received a
letter from his erstwhile friend, Wer-
ner. In it Werner told of his regrets
of running away with Alvord's wife.
The letter runs as follows:
Friend George: You said in a let
ter some time ago that if I married
Agnes as Don as l could you would
consider me you best friend. 1 mar
ried her all right, and I want to let
you know that you slipped over on
me, all right. Two and a half months,
from Nov. 9 to Jan. %, is all the mar
ried life we had.
George, I want to beg a thousand
.pardons for the wrong I did to you. I
couldn't stand it and am suing for di-
vorce now. You can give me the laugh,
George, but If my witnesses don't fail
me, / will prove the charges I filed
against her today and get my decree,
and 1 can laugh with YOU. Alimony
she will get-not.
George, be glad that / helped you
to get free from the woman. I paid
for her divorce from you and now |
paying for mine. I prefer single
life to married life when one has to
live like dog and cat.
Write to me-, will you, George? I
may go east again and see you after
this thing is over"
