Mckenzie River Trader
 Doesn't Believe StefanssOn

there is nothing strange about that, as one meets some very fair ones at Herschel Island, but they are descun. dants of whalers from San Francisco. These may be descendants from the lost men of the Franklin expedition.
 "Hanbury and Darrell say that they met Eskimos very light in color, but it was on account of not using fire. But as for the red hair and whiskers, it sounds fishy. I also know two Eskimos who wintered twice on Victoria Island, and I have seen many of those Eskimos, but they never said a word about red hairs, so that story may go all right with people who do not know anything about that country, but it does not catch with me-"

Joseph Jacquot, trader formerly stationed at the mouth of the MacKen- zie river places little credence in Stef- ansson's red-haired Eskimo story. Writing to the Dawson News, where he is spending the winter, JacQuot says:
 Having read in your paper about the red-haired Eskimos, reported by Stefansson, wish to say do not believe the story, as Hanbury and Darrell passed there long before Stef- fansson had ever been there; also the Catholic priest who is among them now. These people never said word about Eskimos so fair as that. As for the fairness of these Eskimos,

Senate Judiciary Committee. The sen. timent developed was such as to indi- cate it cannot pass this session of Congress-
 Many objections were advanced, the most important being the contention that a general measure should be passed and that the general law as are proposed by Mir. Rockefeller, Mir. Carnegie, and other philathro- pists. It was held that there should be no more such individual bills passed and that the genreal law should mention, or "immortalize" no names.
 No agreement seemed possible on any of the points involved The entire matter went over until the next meet ing of the Judiciary Committee, a week hence.

A late dispatch from Washington says: There appears to be wide diff ference of opinion among those most interested in the construction of gov crnmeut railroads in Alaska, which was urged so strongly by President Taft in his recent message to Con gress, as to the best plan to be fol- lowed in framing legislation toward that end.
 On the other hand, practically ev- cry one who will have the work in charge is determined not to let per sonal views interfere with the final success of the enterprise as whole, and Delegate Wickersham, Senator Jones and Representative Humphrey already are at work trying to get the proposition more definitely before Congress-
 Delegate Wickersham believes it would be better, in introducing the necessary legislation, to provide for government construction of the pro. posed roads. He does not believe as do a number of others that this would mean slow construction He believes that it would move as rapidly and successfully as the Panama canal Much of the material now in use there will be available for use in Alaska as early as July 1, as well as a consid, crable part of the canal force, and Mir. Wickersham is prepared to urge construction of the proposed Alaska railroad under the same auspices,

MEMBERS Of the Chamber OF Commerce in this city.
= who have embarked upon campaign for The
the establishment of closer and better trade and
social relations between tho people Wilmington and
those of the rural sections of the Delaware Maryland
Virginia Peninsula, fail TO be encouraged
by the favorable comment made by the news
papers published in tho down Peninsula towns.
Tho prevailing sentiment to be that city
should be the trade social metropolis Of the Pen
psua in fact as well as in theory. That augurs we'll
for the future.
The rural sections of Delaware and the Eastern
shores Of Maryland and Virginia inhabited by
thrifty people who are well worth knowing In tho
of year they spend many millions Of dollars
our city which should enjoy the benefit Of the bulk
Of that vast volume OF trade obtains only tthe OF
what il should receive. Much Of tho trade OF lower
New Castle and Kent and Sussex counties passes
wide-opon doors and goes TO Philadelphia. The Cast
crn Shore Of Maryland, which should be ono Of our
best customers gives most OF its trade to Philadelphia
aud Baltimore. The inclination of the trade OF the
Eastern Shore Of Virginia is toward Baltimore and
Norfolk.
II the Chamber Of Commerce do effective work
in diyorting all that vast volume of trade from the
channels through which it is flowing and send it
pouring in our local merchants, that body will
do something well worth while aud and deserve
the gratitude Of the people of city. Comprehen
sve systematic and untiring work will be required
"a a II
to shift the current OF trade from large cities TO
small There have been instances, however, In
which it has been done, and it is hoped that
local Chamber OF Commerce will be able to increase
the number of such instances II it is to make

tionably will in the minds of the Jerseymen

r the foresight Of Levin r. Nelson chairman OF the
City Committee of ,he Bull Moose Progressive organ
zaton here, good his hndsight he wou'l be
the greatest political prophet of modern times The
city election returns when placed side by side with his
collection predictions, show conclusively that a
political doctorNhe knows little about the pulse OF
the people he does about many other things of
itcal nature We take pleasure in calling attention
TO the fact that Saturday Mr.. Nelson gave out the
following prediction with respect to the outcome of the
impending election
The Progressive party is gaining votes every hour
This morning two men told me that they doing all
they could TO get votes for the Progressive party cand
dates One Of these formerly Republican
oficeholder, and the other formerly Democratic

appreciate the fact that they add strength party
In fact the fight has narrowed down to q contest
between the voters Of those two parties TO which
class OF them shall have the credit of giving the
votes TO the Progressive party candidates. The out
look is very encouraging or the three leading caudi
dates, should that Francis DUPONT has the best
chance OF getting the highest number of votes, with Dr..
Springer and DR.. Howell fighting for second place.
The unofficial vote for Mayor follows: Howell,
Rep. and National Prog, 7274; Springer. D., 595i;
dupont Bull Moose Prog, 500 In other words Howell
defeated DUPONT by vote of approximately l. and
Springer's than three times that Of the
Bull Moose candidate also may be said that more
than two-thirds of the DUPONT vote vas made up OF
Democrats Referendum Leaguers, Socialists and Single
Takers and did not represent Bull Moose Progressive
sentiment.
When Chairman Nelson proclaimed on Saturday that
"of the three leading candidates should say that
Francis dupont has the best chance of getting the
highest number Of votes, with Or. Springer and DR.
Howell fighting for second place" he must had his

The strength of the appeal that the United States
makes to Continental Europeans is evidenced by the
fact that in April $4,000 persons emigrated from the
two ports OF Hamburg and Bremen. That number was
rs per cent greater than the emigration from those
ports in the corresponding week in 1912 Rumors Of
war and low steerage rates due a rate war among
several transatlantic steamship companies are believed
to be the impelling for such large increase
in the number Of emigrnts, many OF whom are Of an
exceedingly desirable class. The exceptional oppor-
tunities offered by this country and Canada lead to
steady drain upon the brain and brawn Of Europe and
to the consequent and corresponding impovershmont
of the population in that part OF the world II is as
rule the strong and brave-heared who emigrate and
the weak aLd fant-hearted who remain at home While
it must be admitted that undesirabes come to our
shores and gain admittance it nevertheless is fact
that they nothing when compared with the large
numbers OF desirable who enter and become part

Slow German have another guess
Many suggestions have been
made in Germany as to what form
the national thanksgiving for the
twenty-fifth anniversary OF the Ger
man Emperor's accession TO the
throne shall take. One man makes
tho proposal that the postohice should
supply a special form of postal card
with the address of the Kaiser on one
side and upon the other a suitably
worded greeting, and that it should
be on sale everywhere for a 'pfennig"
Oess than our cent.
il is estimated that of 64.000,000 in
habitants at least one-third would be
willing to buy such a card, or at
least 20000.000 persons. As each
postal card costs the department only
half a pfennig. there would be a net
profit Of 20,000.000 half pfennigs. or.
roughly 100000 marks Possibly
such cards would be allowed through
the mails rs printed matter, when
tho profit would be still larger, or
if more than the one-third Germans
estimated would purchase the cards
greater still And here we talk about

An amusing story may be told In
this connection. About this time last
year an extremely well-dressed lady
went up TO an official of the Lord
Chamberlain Department in Picca-
dilly one morning, addressed him by
name, shook him warmly by the hand
reprOached him for having neglected
her for so long" and made him PROM
ise he would call upon her on the
following Thursday. This done she
tripped away leaving the courtier
gazing after her in amazement, since
he had not. and has no. to this day,
the slightest idea of her identity.
It. is not often that an official Of
the British court is 50 directly ap-
preached with an o'er of monetary
reward for his services in getting a
royal warrant as was the case few
months ago. He received a letter from
q firm of cigarette merchants for
warding i'm samples Of their goods,
together with the intimation that
the- we're we'll aware that the cigar
cites wore just the thing the King
could smoke and enjoy and that for
every 1000 that would be ordered the
official approached could have 60 per
cent. OF the bill. The reply WIS TO
the effect that the samples had been
handed by tho courtier g his chauffeur
who pronounced the rubbish, aud
that in those circumstances he did
not feel justified in pressing them upon
his sovereign.
The gravcst case of corruption that
ever has been proved against officials
of the British court, came 10 light as
result OF the late King Edward
who vas a fine connoisseur of wine,
being served with a very indifferent
brand OF champagne. He asked the
name Of the firm that supplied the
wine. and how It had ever come into
his cellars. and found out after pro-
longed investigation that one of his
most trusted servitors had been brib-
cd substantially to introduce this
brand into the bins Of the then Prince
Of Wales preliminary to an applica-
ton for a royal warrant in the regu-
lar course. The offender lost his
lucrative position within half an hour
