AMERICAN TITLED
 THE EXCELLENT CROP"
n-o-

PEKING, Nov. 22. - In connection with the inauguration of Yuan Shin Kai, the first permanent President of China, Minister Calhoun; United States Minister to China, today re- ceiyed the honor of the First Class Or der of Chiano which carries the title in his case of The Excellent Crop"
 Contrary to the general opinion, Dr. Stunt Tat Sen. to whom perhaps the greatest credit is due for the revolu- ton which overturned the Manhcus in 1911. was never provisional President of the Chinese republic. When the revolution broke out at Wuchang on October 10, 1911 Dr. Sun Vat Sen was in Europe. He hurried to China and on January 1, 1912, he was installed at Ranking as provisional President of the sO-called government which the rebels had set up. At that time the Manchu emperor was still the legal ruler Of China. He abdicated on Feb ruary s, the edict of his mother, the Empress Dowager, directing that from that date all power of herself and son should be vested in Yuan Shin Kai the prime minister One month and two days later Yuan was inaugurated provisional Presiden,, with the consent of Sun Vat Sen. Peking continued to be the capital and the temporary and revolutionary organization at Ranking ceased to exist.

 SHERIFF AND DEPUTIES
O-O-

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 22.-Chief of Police Grant Bingham and deputy sheriffs Whitback and Nephi, were killed yesterday forty miles south of here in a fight with Ralph Lopez, a Mexican fugitive from justice.

The sheriff's party left here several days ago in search of the fugitive, and it is presumed that when the man was over taken he fired at the officers from ann bush. The whole country is alarmed and many are in pursuit of the mur- derer.

 Chairman McCombs after conference with the President announced that he believed the Republican party would be the chief contender with the Demo cratic party for the Presidecy in 1916
 The recent elections" said Chair man McCombs, have served to strengthen the conviction I nave had since the last Presidential election that much of the Progressive party would be absorbed by either the Dem- ocrats or Republican parties, and that the next political conflict would find the Republican party the principal op- ponent of the Democracy"
 Mir McCombs added that the Demo- cratic party was redeeming it's pledges made to the people and it's present solidarity was greater than at any time in the history of the party, with in the past fifty years.

Citizens Will Guarantee
 Payment of Warrants
O 70

At last nights session of the city council. steps were taken to preserve the credit of Juneau and keep the city's finances on a sound basis. The warrants to be issued in excess of the legal liability are to be protected by a personal guarantee from the citizens of Juneau. At last nights meeting all of the members of the council, preceding the present body, were pres ent and entered heartily into the plan of devising means of carrying on the developments and necessary improve ments and at the same time protect the city's credit After a thorough dis cussion a statement was drawn up wherein each signer pledges himself to make good all warrants issued by the city in excess of the legal liabil- ity, to the amount set opposite his name. or to such proportional amount as shall be necessary to secure the redemption of the warrants so issued in case the city fails so to do.
 Every member of both the present council and the one immediately pre- ceding the present body signed in amounts ranging from one hundred to one thousand dollars. C. W. Fries of the old council signed for $1,000. The paper is now being offered to the peO- pie generally in order that all may have a hand in maintaining the citys credit Today several large business concerns and business men have signed in amounts ranging from one hundred to one thousand dollars and there is not the slightest doubt but that the guarantee will be forthcoming to secure the redemption of warrants that must be issued to carry on the citys affairs and continue the i'm provements that are absolutely neces- sary. The people generally are to be asked to sign in lesser amounts. The city must eventually redeem the war rants which although exceeding the legal limit are nevertheless a debt of honor or repudiate the claim and be- come discredited.
 A movement is on foot to have Con- gress pass a special act whereby the city of Juneau will be empowered to issue bonds, but this will require time and action immediately in order to meet the demands that are now con fronting the city.
 All of the excess burden has been caused by the rapid increase of the town in population and the necessary improvements to care for the changed conditions resulting.

ALASKA WOMEN ARE NOT
 ELIGIBLE FOR JURY DUTY


 FAIRBANKS, Nov. 21-Contrary to the expectation of many, the women of the Fourth judicial division were not given the right to serve as jurors at the present session of court The law passed by the first territorial legisla- ture, gave the women the right to vote but nothing more.
 Many Alaskans were under the i'm pression that the fair ones were to be given all the rights enjoyed by the sterner sex, but a careful perusal of the legislative enactment dispels this idea
 That the grand jury is having a busy session is indicated by the an- nouncement made by District Attor- ney Crossley to the effect that he had summoned 76 witnesses to appear the first week. He has prepared IA cases which he expects the body to exam inc during the first week of the ses- sion, which started on November IT,

Cleopatra
By GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of CAT Good Old SiTash.S

LEOPATRA'S full name was Cleo
patra Athletes, and she was the
- daughter of old man Auletes, who
was sole owner of Egypt and at a time
so remote in history that even the after
dinner jokes of today had not been
heard of.
Cleopatra was a beautiful girl and
bright in her studies. She would have
got along all right and would probably
have become social dictator of the coun-
try and lived to a fat old age if her
father had not died and left the country
for her and her brother to rule This
required them to marry according to the
Egyptian custom of that time and
Cleopatra from that minute became dis
contented and a prey to the habit Of
looking at fascinating strangers with
large round eyes.
One Of these strangers was Julius
Caesar. He conquered the country, but
when he met Cleo, he laid aside his
sword and dallied around Memphis
writing mushy notes and running up
taxicab bills until great deal of gossip
was produced Shortly after Caesar
went home, his old college ehum, Mark
Antony, came over and when Mark sld
Cleo met at the TheDes horse show the
Thermometer went up 1000 degrees In
three minutes.
Cleopatra was dazziingly beautiful and
Mark batted 400 IN the social league IN
Rome. Within a week Marks officers
had to call him up at Cleopatrs'a palace
whenever they wanted orders and the
business of the Roman world languished
while Marx padded Cleopatra about on
the bosom Of the Nile and splashed his
best white tunic pulling water lilies for
her. He gave her Cyrene, Cyprus, Phoe-
nieia, Crete and a number of other eoun-
tries as a token of his affection and when
she asked for Judaea and Arabia in adj
ditiOn he tossed over the deeds without
a murmur and merely asked for all her
dances at the next assembly ball.
Matters were floating along IN the
lS9th super stratum of bliss for Antony
and Cleopatra when Augustus Caesar,
who was running the world at that
time, came over to check up AntOny's
accounts. When he missed some eight
or nine countries and couldn't find any
record of them he accused Antony of
knocking down on him and ordered out
the royal feet. Antony and Cleopatra
hanessed up their combined va-ships
and put up a fight, but while they had
Ioafed around under the pyramids sing
ing ALove Me and the World Is Nine IN
very close harmony, the Egyptian navy
went to thunder. They were defeated
with great slaughter and when Augustus
expressed a determination to use An
tony's hide for a new snare drum head
the latter gave up and feH upon his
sword with great slsughter.
Cleopatra then spent three days re
designing her Marcelle wave and going
over her complexion with great care,
after which she advanced upon Augustus

All of these cases, as well as what
text writer's say on the subject, ought
to allay any pretended fears or scru-
pies of the commissioners which
might cause them to force our citi-
zens to continue to pay to the state
of Texas approximately $4,000 per an

that there should be no discrimination
and that they have right to equalize
and that the courts cannot examine into
the question whether boards of equal
ization have erred in judgment The
attorney general would have a very
difficult time in proving that the
county commissioners did err in their
judgment, and this, of course, is not
punishable by the courts. The court

sioners would Immediately equalize
the taxes of FL Paso county with the
taxes of other counties of this state
Says Huffman Mistaken
In conclusion I desire to call your
attention to the mistake in the
claims of George Huffman and others
that Ell Paso county is being given so
much attention by the state govern
ment It is well known fact that
whenever the interests of the western
interests of the balance of the state,
the west never gets justice.
We have been unable to secure ade-
quate mining laws because the farmers
in the central portion of the state
fear such legislation might affect his
farming land.
Until recently we have been unable
to secure adequate irrigation laws.
The legislature passed a law providing
for q school of mines to be located
mere, but when it came to voting bonds
to finance this proposition, the moss
backs in the central part of the state
defeated the amendment for fear that
they might have to pay taxes which
might be of benefit to other portions
of the state
About the only things FL Paso
county has been given as far back as
court and the court of appeals, but
these courts were absolutely necessary
on account of the congested condition
of the courts, and the litigation which
takes place in our courts here, but
really arises in other counties and
other states, and which is tried here
on account of the peculiar location of
FL Paso county.
