The last night Of the Forest
Green Fair there was something
lively doing at Forest Green.

lively fisticuffs as well. Deputy

the scene and managed to round
up some of the participants, ac-
cording to information from that
thriving center. Four men were
fined and it is said the dragnet
will enclose others as well. Those
fined and the amounts each are:
For gambling R. A. Patterson,
$34.7O; Sid Cason, $34.70: For
disturbing the peace-F Fred Lin

COY HOME IS BURNED
Thomas Coy Residence South
Of Town Destroyed by Fire
Monday Night

Last Monday night about IL
Thos. Coy, who lives 5 miles
south Of town was awakened by
the smell Of smoke, and when
he arose and opened a door lead
into the kitchen, the flames and
smoke shot in on him so fiercely
that he made a hasty exit,
securing only an old hat and a
pair Of trowserloons. His
daughter.in-law, Mrs. Sam Coy
was in another room and he
awakened her with difficulty.
She secured what she could of
her clothing and rushed to open
air. Tom mentioned that his
money was in the room he
vacated and Mrs. Coy bethought
her of the money she had left in
her room and in spite Of the
warnings of Tom, she rushed
back into the house and secured
the money. She had barely time
to get out when the roof tumbled
in. The fire started in the
kitchen, but how or why, no one
knows. Not a sign of it was
noticed until the discovery by
Mr.. Coy as stated. sam Coy
was away from home at the time
and was considerably shocked on
his return Tuesday to see no
house.
The loss was complete, prac-
tically, on the house and con-
tents, and also on a smoke house
with it's contents. Insurance on
the dwelling $500 and contents
$500 and on the smoke house and
contents SIS in the Farmers
Mutual of Mendon, which was
adjusted and paid Wednesday.
While Mr.. Coy sustained con-
siderable loss above the insur-
..
ance, we congratulate him in
securing such speedy settlement
of his claim.

Auto-Buggy Collision

AS Geo. Kussman and brother
were driving into town Monday,
their buggy was struck by an
automobile and a rear wheel
ripped off.
They hak nearly reached the
Young corner where a big rick
of wood partially obstructs the
street, when. an automobile occu-
pied by a middle aged man and
his wife came up behind so
noiselessly that the Kussmans
were not aware Of its proximity
until it war very close. They
stopped the team to let the ma
chine pass, which it did after de-
molishing a wheel and throwing
the men out Of the buggy.
Neither sustained more than a
shaking up. The driver of ma
chine, said to be a Methodist
preacher of Dewitt, went to the
repair shop and paid $4 for ne
cessary repairs to the buggy,
but it was under protest that he
paid. The Kussmans held him
to account because he sounded
no warning signal.

before the Brown hotel Sunday
night as the Tango girls were

became highly indignant, claim
ed he was insulted and forth.

in the hotel, on the porch and
connected Herewith. The fact
that he would not have been
able to accomplish the task
seemed to have. little effect on
his yerbiage but he was finally
headed the other way by the
proprietor of the hotel. The
fellow evidently was drunk but
it was no excuse for making him
self obnoxious to a dozen or two
of people, peaceable citizens
who are attending their own
business. H e afterwards
apologized to the local people
who were present when the af-
fair occurred.

think there is any danger of tn
 Alaska legislature passing too few
 laws, but there is a danger of it
 passing too many.
 If am honored bg re-elec
 tion, shall confine myself largely
 to trying to perfect the laws that
 We already have, working for an
 applicable. and fair election Jaw, and
 other matters mentioned in she non partisan platform, and perhaps try to get rid of some undesirable laws We already have.
 Because of the difference in in" dnstrial, geographic and climatic conditions between Southeastern Al aska, and the balance of the terri tory, I believe that Is of the greatest importance to this division that we secure a separate terri torial organization for southeastern Alaska. A very large percentage of the taxable property in Alaska is situated in this division, our means of intercommunication are almost perfect, and it has always seem ed to me that congress should all low the people of the First Division to have complete control oyer the expenditure of all sorts of revenue collected here, includine the rebate on stumpage taxes, we would have money enough to run a full terri torial government with practically no additional taxation.
 "It is a matter of far-reaching to Alaska that everybody lay aside their present preiudices and work, together in carrying Al aska through this very important period oc her political development and I believe the most effective through which this can be done is the non-partisan party. r. Is a matter of indifference to the average Alaskan what political parry the legislator belongs to, but it IS a matter of supreme importance to the average Alaskan to know that their legislative representatives are for the good of the terri tory as a whole, and not attempt ing to favor any special class either industrial or political"

 eral government. And even on the
 opinion on the revenue laws, the
 Attorney General has since said that if the matter had been differently ] presented to him-if he had fully understood the history and tradl- tions oC congressional Legislation
 for Alaska-that he would have sus'
 tained }he legislature. That matter
 had then been corrected beyond question by special act of congress
 and the remark was gratuitously
 made by the Attorney General in
 passing upon the proposition of pay
 ing over to the territory money re-
 Ceived from the sale of timber ia
 Alaska.
 The first Alaska legislature passed eighty-one laws of general application, outside of the revenue laws, and all of these are in active and effective operation, excepting that some of them are partially crippled by the failure of the revenue laws. I don't mean to say that all of these laws are perfect, because at the time of their pas sage they were regarded IS more or less tentative and further I do hot want to be understood as say ing that all of these laws are wise. didn't favor the pasSaage of some Of them, and think now that some of the acts of the first Legislature should be repealed. But what l am trying to bring out is that the Alaska legislature has much more power than many people think, and that great care and discro- ton should be used in exercising that power. However, I don't thinE Alaska has as wide a measure of self government as we are entitled to, and for that reason the next legislature should direct a lot of is energy toward getting the un- usual restrictions in the Organic Act removed, and towards securing all the powers and privileges enjoy ed by the older territories.
