FRANCE AROUSED BY
PUBLIC MEMS LIVES
Scandals Brought to Light by
Recent Shooting.

Paris.-The Paris press is foreshad-
owing an approaching exposure in the
private life Of one of the most power
full statesmen in France which may
cause revolution in the matrimonial
standard demanded of high officials Of
the government, hitherto elected to
Office regardless of the most fragrant
violations Of private morality.
The exposure in question. which
awaits investigation by detectives in
the United States, Is directed point
blank at the enforced resignation OF
President Poincare and undoubtedly
is purely political in that respect. But
it is part Of a widespread movement
throughout the country which was
started almost Immediately after Pres
ident Poincare was installed in the
Elysee with the wife he married i'm
mediately after he. as her lawyer. had
obtained for her a divorce from her
former husband. a cab driver.
That Nine. Poincare was an Italian
by birth and had been an actress on
the vaudeville stage did not serve as
q protection against her enemies They
have been able to strengthen their
campaign against her by the fact that
her husband has compelled the gov
eminent to give her Il place III society
which the wives of other presidents OF
France did not have.
And out of the furious agitation over
the murder Of Editor Calmette of the
Figaro by Nine. Caillaux. wife Of the
minister OF finance, the movement for
a moral standard in politics gathered
many recruits They are uniting to
produce some decided action at the
time of Nine Caillanx's trial. The
press calls attention to the fact that
she is divorce. that the man she
murdered had been divorced. that
Cailla'lx had been divorced twice and
that the defending lawyer. l.alori. is
the husband Of IL Divorce. the former
wife Of the famous musician. De Pach
mann. whose divorce was obtained by
Labori's legal efforts.

ACCUSED OF DOUBLE MURDER
 AL MOORRs TRIAL BEGINS

Moundsville, w. Va, Nov. 4-For getting into a hell of mess oyer an old fishnet and starting a young graveyard down the river, " Al Moore Is > to be tried for his life in the Marshall county cir cult court here today. Moore, on the afternoon of July 16, killed William Arn and Harry L. Purdy, two MoundsVille young men, whom he accused of having stolen q fish net from him year before.
 He was about to shoot Roy Me Gill, who stood nearby pleading for the lives of Arn and Purdy, when McGill's wife threw herself in front of her husband and saved him. Moore then went to a "speakeasy" and was arrested when he left short ly after midnight, by a posse that lay in wait for him.
 Insanity will probably be tAe defense. Moore has joked with fellow-prisoners since his srrest and referred to the shooting as starting graveyard.'

SAYS KNIK AGRICULTURE
 BEATS MASSACHUSETTS

From the Seward Gateway; Situ- ated on the banks of the beautiful Knik lake, directly across from Kni city, A. J. Pierce last April filed on a homestead. He started in immediately clearing off the timber and getting down to actual farming. A run across to MT. Pierce's Crys- tai Spring ranch will convince the most skepticaI that this section of Alaska certainly has great future as an agricultural country. Pota- toes, cabbage, carrots, parsnips, peas and lettuce have thrived on this ranch this year. From twenty pounds of seed Mr. Pierce has already taken out of a small patch over eighteen crates of potatoes, Three strawberry beds on this ranch also promise to turn out successful. Next spring it is the intention of the owner of the Crys- tal Springs ranch to experiment. on alfalfa.
 J.~H. Conway, who has taken up a homestead adjoining the Sloan ranch in the Matanuska section, speaks very highly of that part of. Alaska as au agricultural coun- try. Mir. Conway says that the Matauuska valley far surpasses any place he has seen ill Canada for raising flax, oats and barley. In his opinion this valley, in another two years, will be known as a great wheat country. Already there are quite a number of home5teaders settled there, amongst whom are W. J. Bogard, Pete Murray, Gus Swanson, Ralph Weis, Geo. Nylin, John Linquist, John Goren, John Blanc, c Beaver, steve Anderson, o, \. Nelson, Axel olsen, Wm, Campbell.

BROOKS SAYS ALASKA
 WILL PRODUCE STEEL

That Alaska will become one of the great steel manufacturing cen ters of the United states and that the territory is entering upon a new era of prosperity generally is the opinion of Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, chief of the Alaska branch Of the United States geological survey.
 There are some big deposits of iron ore in Alaska" said Dr. Brooks. "both hematite and magnetic. while l have not seen an analysis of these ores, there is every reason to believe that they are commercially valuable. There is a big deposit of iron ore at Nome, but that Ia rath- CT distant for successful operation. There are several deposits Of iron ore in the Ketchikan and Prince William Sound districts, but these, generally speaking, are associated with copper and would have to be crushed and treated by electrict fu- naces. Of course, there is an abundance of water power ill Alaska for this purpose
 What Alaska needs more than anything else just at present is cheap fuel. I do not mean cheap fuel' in the sense in which the words would be used in the United States, but a reduction of the prea- ent exorbitant prices. In Fair banks, wood costs from SIP to SIS cord, and the wood is nothing more than brush. The tying Up of the coal has caused a denudatton of the land So far as timber is concerned. The generation of pow CT with fuel at these prices makes successful mine operation almost impossible except in cases where the pay streaks are extremely rich. The heavy cost of fuel has certain ly retarded quartz mining in this section. The development of the Nenana coal fields will overcome this condition.' .-...
 Dr. Brooks is exceedingly opdmis- tic concerning the mineral output or Alaska. this year. Because of the abundance of water and labor in the territory there has been an incraas- ed production of placer gold. This is Nome, Ruby, Iditarod and Fair banks sections. Last summer was exceedingly dry and there was shortage of labor in some places be- cause of the stampede to Chlsana.- Seattle Times. .
