Good Losers

The remarks of Judge Lyons on the occasion of the farewell reception, which was given in his honor by the people of Valdez last week, are worthy of more than passing notice. The judge has lived in Alaska a considerable number of years; he has held court ln several divisions and he has had splendid opportunity to study the peo- pie of the various communities. He knows by observation that Alaskans are law-abiding as people,; he knows that the people of the North, although aggravated almost beyond the point of endurance by government neglect, de- partment rulings, court decisions and commissioner evils, are submissive and patriotic. The judge realizes, doubt less, that his rulings in the Barnette cases taxed the patience of the people severely, and the fact that no demon stration of protest occurred Tn the coast region at the conclusion of the hearings has prompted the judge to refer to Alaskans generally as good losers.
 But neither Judge Lyons nor any other person who was not in the Tan ana valley to witness the suffering in- cident to the footing of the Barnette bank can appreciate fully to what ex- tent the people of this region are good losers, nor does he realize seemingly what effect his rulings have had upon Tananaites. He appears to take jt for granted that Alaskans will continue to be good losers during the balance of their natural lives regardless of the eX- tent to which they may be aggravated, whereas, as matter of fact, the limit of endurance was reached in the Bar nette cases. Aud if, at some future time, the people of the interior fail to live up to the reputation they have earned through long years of resi- dence in the North, it will be because they have learned by bitter experience that it is one thing to be good loser and quite another to be made a fool of after having sub mitted docilely to the footing process in the belief that the law would pro- vide punishment.
 Were the thing to be done over again we believe the people of Panama would willingly sacrifice their reputation as good losers rather than take another chance with the law which seemingly grants greater privileges to unscrupu- lous fnanciers than protection to honest working people, Fairbanks Times.

Cold and stiff in death, partly GOV cred by hard snow that the winds were swirling about, the body of John Jen' sen, Koyukuk roadhouse man, was found by Ed Marsan and John w. Me- Cord below Wiseman, in the Koyukuk district. In one hand was grasped a whisky flask, partly filled and still corked. Near about were blown over tracks, which indicated that the un- lucky musher had staggered about as exhausted and then finally laid down to die.

Among the first to take advantage of the new parcel post regulations was the Miners and Merchants bank of this city, which sent out consignment ot gold this week sad to approximate in value S35,000. It is claimed that the low rate of insurance and postage charged by the government makes the shipment of gold by this means the most economical yet available, and many operators and others are likely to take advantage of the innovation next season.-Iditarod Pioneer.

Caught by darkness on drifted and wind swept trail on the Totatlanika river with two-year old daughter and two-m onths.old infant in her charge, Mrs. J. P. Sherman, wife of J. P. Sher. man, the Totatlanika prospector, en
 gagged in one sided struggle with the elements that resulted in the death of her infant child and left herself and the other child in greatly weakened condition. News of the occurrence was received yesterday by the marsha's of flee in a letter from Mir. Sherman, says the Fairbanks Times. Mir. Sherman writes that he left Mrs. Sherman and the two children at the 15-mile relay cabin on the Totatlanika river on Feb ruary 15, and came to Fairbanks for an outfit with which to move his freight on the Nenana 10 his workings on the Totatlanika. He says Mrs. Sherman and the children were we'll provided fory He returned on the eighteenth and found his younger child corpse and his other child and wife in an i'm poverished and weakened condition. Mrs. Sherman, it appears from the letter, left the cabin unknown to Mir. Sherman on the afternoon of his de- parture. She took the sled, the robes. and the two children and started for the month of the river 15 miles distant. Night came when she was five miles below the cabin. She had no axe, hay. ing overlooked it in departing from the cabin. The wind and cold began to tell upon inc woman, struggling along with her cbildreu 1fo4ts to build fire we useless, so sbe fFarted back for t cabin, cIasping the babe at times Co her breast in au effort to keep the slight body warm. The trail was covered with drifted snow and mushing would have been laborious for man. two children in her care. IL was five o'clock on the evening of the sixteenth before Mrs Sherman reached the relay cabin, where there was wood and matches and an ample supply of pro- visions. Tbe infant was dead. The life had been snnffed out by the chill. ing, biting, cold weather that had accompanied the weary womar on her mush homeward along the winter trail.

STRIKE RIOTS IN BUFFALO.
Militia May Be Called to Quell Trolley
Men and Sympathizers.
lerican Press Association.

Buffalo, N. Y, April AFTER a day
of turmoil and rioting the city Of Buff
falo is without street car service as
ployees of the international Railway
company. The union officials assert
that more than two-thirds of the 1000
motormen and conductors are out. The
decision to quit work came after an all
night meeting presided over by Will
liam Fitzgerald, who secretly had been
organizing the men into a branch of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employees. The strikers de-
mand revision of the working sched-
ule, fat rate of 80 cents an hour, time
and half for overtime and recogni-
ton of the union.
The strike was followed by scores of
riots throughout the city. Windows
were smashed, cars damaged and sew
eral persons hurt. The situation be-
came so serious that in spite of efforts
by the police the service had to be
abandoned. 1t is thought the militia
will be called out, although Chief Re-
gan says he is able to control the stu
alton.
Bands of men paraded Main street,
some in uniform, others in civilian
dress. They spread into side streets.
Sympathizers joined them. Many of
the latter were in automobiles and tax
icabs and sped from point to point.
Efforts were made to persuade non
striking motormen and conductors to
abandon their cars. In few instances

men who manned the cars and signs
were turned to read "Car house."

the same anxiety that has prevailed
for the last few days still exists. Ev-

would dash the water against the lev
ees, causing them to break and flood
the city.
Five hundred men were put to work

at Mound City, which is still in danger
of being flooded, and the orders are
that they shall remain increasingly at
their work until all danger is removed,

modated, nor will veterans accompa-
MED by any of these be accommodated,

any members of his family unless he
has at first obtained accommodations

the crush here will be the worst that
the historic town has ever known"

charged veterans of the civil war.
Eight men will be assigned to tent.

Beaver, Pa, April 7.--Not washed

cupies the point at the Junction of the
Beaver and Ohio rivers aud which last
week boasted of about 1,500 inhab-

Famous in the early part of the cen

ing of the visits of Aaron Burr and
other noted men in the early days of
the republic and couched at the foot of
a river hill from which the copper
colored warrior once looked in pride
from the site of Fort Mcintosh. the
little town has had an interesting his
tory. 1t has been the scene of many
disastrous floods, but has survived
them all, unless perchance it he the
last one. While earlier inundations
have brought greater volumes of wa
ter, they were by no means so destruc
tive as that of last week.
Before the broad Ohio had accumu-
lated a sufficient height of muddy wa
ter to act as n check. the leaping, roll
ing currents of the Beaver swept
through the main part of the little
town, driving almost everything before
them. Foundations were torn from
under dwellings. raging currents burst
through cellars and coal chutes, tear
ing great holes and crevices in the
sidewalks and streets. Several small
residences were washed from the
foundations and occupants risked their
lives to escape, Almost every house
in the town was a scene of destruc-
ton and ruin. After the first two days
of the flood the swollen Ohio held back
the waters of the Beaver. and those
who refused to leave their residences
We're marooned in upper stories for
five days before the waters receded.
To add to their discomforts gas lines
We're broken, and there was neither
heat nor li5ht in the little municipal
