Alaska Legislation.
Alaska occupied a great deal of time
during the last session of congress
and one Of the bills passed may be
farreaching in its effect upon the
whole country. 1t provides for the
expenditure Of SIS, ZOO for the con
struction OF railroads in Alaska, the
roads when completed to be operated
BY the government or leased. This Is
the first time that congress has direct,
~ taken an affirmative action in IA.
vor OF government construction and
ownership of railroads.
While 1t was emphaticaIly asserted
by men who supported the bill that
they would not vote for any measure
for construction of railroads in the
United States and that conditions In
Alaska made this an exceptional case,
pet the precedent was established
which may be used with effect when
sentiment In favor Of government
ownership becomes stronger.

SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN
FORESTS ARE DAMAGED
Twenty-Five Fires in March on or
Near Land United States Is
Obtaining.

During March twenty-five forest fires
burned on or near the land in the south
ern Appslachians which the government
is securing under the Weeks law for the
establishment OF national forests Seven
Of these fires reported by the govern
fnents forest officers covered more than
ten acres. but eleven were less than one
quarter of an acre in size.
The most common cause was railroad
sparks. On what are known as the Cher
ollee, Mount Mitchell. unaka and White
Top areas the railroads cross lands which
the government is acquiring. SO t..at
there is considerable risk. even though
tine rights of way are patrolled during
the very dry seasons. The state laws
however are 50 lax in regard to the
maintenance of spark arresters and keep
ing the railroad rights of way clear OF

number of fires occurring during March

colt MBUs. Ohio, April 1.-THE
political pot in Ohio. already beginning
to simmer for the campaign of 1914 burst
into a boil with the announcement of
the retirement of Senator Burton from
the race for the nomination for the sen
atorship. Former Representative Ralph
n. Cole of Findlay Immediately an
nounced himself candidate for the
nomination, and three others by inter
views placed themselves in the position
OF receptive candidates-W. H Boyd of
Cleveland, former Representative Paul
Rowland and Freeman T. Eagleson of
Akron, formerly speaker of the Ohio
house.
Boyd and Eagleson had been prom
inently mentioned for the nomination for
governor but neither had made definite
announcement. The first manifestation
OF feeling in the republican contest for
this nomination came when. in comment
ing on the retirement of Senator Burton,
former Senator Foraker intimated that it
would be better so, since the senator had
been supporting democratic President
on the canal tolls question by his vote
in the Senate. From Washington came
then the report that Senator Burtons
withdrawal was made chiefly with a view
TO uniting the field III preventing the
nomination of Senator Foraker-followed
by the story that Senator Burton was
urging Myron T.. Herrick TO come back
from Paris and enter the senatorial con-
test Friends of Ambassador Herrick
here are claiming that the delay on the
part of the administration at Washing
ton relieving him of the Paris post is
designed and has for its object keeping
him out of both the senatorial and gubeF-
material contests in Ohio-recognizing him
as a strong candidate for either position.

Echo of Bryan Campaign.

Among the half dozen candidates fo-
the democratic nomination for United
States senator it is growing plain that
the real contest will lie between Attorney
General T. S. Hogan and John III. Clark
of Cleveland. A bitter feeling has al
ready sprung up between them.
Early this week Mr.. Clark suggested
in an interview in Cleveland that he
would like to debate the issues with MIR.
Hogan. The latter, taking umbrage at
this. replied in the same way that he
would like to have the opportunity to
ask Mr.. Clark some pertinant questions
on the platform. He would like to ask
him why he took a leading part in 1876
in organizing the gold democratic party
in Ohio to oppose the candidacy of Will
liam J. Bryan.
attorney General Hogan is also peeved
little at Cox because the Springfield
News. published at the home of John l..
Zimmerman, also a candidate for the
democratic nomination for senator. is
JoostinS Mr.. Zimmerman's candidacy,
the News being owned by the governor.
or course, the governors explanation is
that in saying nice things about Mr. Zim-
norman his Springfield paper is simply
taking care of a local favorite son. G..

Foraker Keeps Mum.

Though no direct statement as TO his
candidacy for the senatorial nomination
has yet come from Senator Foraker, he
has opened state headquarters here from
which his interests in the nomination are
being looked after. Samuel 3. Campbell.
formerly state treasurer; Eli NJ. West,
formerly steward of the Ohio peniter-
tiary. and Edward B. Archer. formerly
AN examiner in the state bureau of uni
form accounting. are in charge of the
Foraker quarters and will circulate petit
tions for his nomination at once.
Those who question the advisability of
Senator Foraker becoming candidate
are suggesting that in the interest of par
ty harmony he should follow the example
of Senator Burton. but Senator Foraker
has no reputation as gutter and no
one expects him to do so.
In the general change in the political
situation that followed Senator Burton's
announcement it is pleasing to the party
leaders that Representative Willis goes
right forward working for the nomination
for governor and that Representative Fess
has started his petitions in circulation in
the sixth district for nomination for an
other term in Congress.
AS expected. former State Senator Da-
vid Tod of Youngstown announced his
candidacy for the nomination for COVER
nor this week. Though a decidedly pro-
pressive republican, he did not affiliate
with the progressive party in 1912 and an
nounces in his initial statement that he
seeks the support OF republicans of all
shades of party belief. with the under
standing. of course, that he is himself
believer in party progress. i

At any rate, the office OF roads is

the economic advantage of avoiding

ers consulted, where horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on a level

measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road TO market. In a mum
Der OF cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating OF roads around
hills has been accomplished. either
with no addition in road length in
some instances. and with the adding
OF only few feet to the highway in
others. The Office knows of no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
any question as to its material reduc.

The average life Of horses and au

the Office of roads of the department
OF agriculture, by relocating many OLE

by the reduced strain of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
