 Forty-seven years ago today the United States purchased Russian-America, a tract as large as the Atlantic states put together, for $7,20O,O0O. The bargain was widely ridiculed. The tract was called Stewards Ice Box after Secretary of State Seward who was largely responsible for the purchase. The United States gave it the name Alaska corruption of the native Al-ay-eska, mean ing a great country The in habitants numbered a few hum Idred whites and a few thou sand natives. There were no roads, commerce was confined to fishing and sealing, to the extent of $2,OOO,O ,OOO a year. The people laughed, but Secretary Seward died with the predic- tion that another generation would say the purchase of Alaska was the greatest accom- plishment Of his administra- tion.

 BOTH PARTIES AROUSED.
 Both parties are go eager their re- spcctive whips have not even eOnsld- cred it necessary to send out the urge eDt three-lined whip as js usual i'd anticipation of critical divisions.
 With a full house and a united coalition, the government is assured of Q majority for the second readins of the bill, but the belief gains ground that the dissolution is not off far Even among the liberals this belief is found, many of whom say they would welcome taking the war to tne open country.

PYGMY ENEMY OF ROCKEFELLER SELLS
Trappers Home Finally Incor- pocated in Vast Adiron-
 dack Game Preserve.
Son of Man Who Started Feud Induced to Part With
 Land He Inherited.

Malone, N. r.. March 3o-Word has been received here that the celebrat- ed ockefeIler-Iamora feud has been ended by the action of William La mora in selling the cabin and grounds left him by his father, 8 hunter and traDper. who refused to sell his prop ertyJ to makeup portion of William Rockefel1ers vast Adirondacks game preserve
 1t was in 1892 that William Rocke- feller set out to acquire the game pre- serve He bought the 5S,0o0 acres around the town of Brandon but could not secure Oliver Lamora's cab in and clearing which stood in the way Out of this arose a legal battle between the oil magnate,s agents and the old trapper.
 It was expensive work for Iamora, but the old trapper's friends and nefghbors .sympathfzed with him and came to his aid financially. Lamora was arrested for trespassing, having ignored the 5000 signs forbidding this posted on the preserve. But twice he defeated the Rockefeller agents in the courts by showing that the fish in the the state hatchery and that the state law forbids the setting aside of such waters as part Of any private estate.
 On the third occasion when the agents got Lamora into court, it was in a civil suit for damages. It went through several courts, finally reach ing the court of appeals, which found In Rockefeller's favor. The damages awarded were only IS cents, but $500 in costs was assessed against the old trapper. This was a staggering blow and the loss, of the cabin was threat ened for a time Iamora's friends, however proved loyal and clubbed to- gether successfully to raise the sum-
 For the remainder of the old man s life, the Rockefeller agents recognize ed as useless any attempt to get him to sell. After his death his son, to whom the property fell, assumed the same attitude as his father for a time, but he has been induced to sell.

NEW HAVEN LOAD WILL
 START RAISING HOGS

Springfield, Mass, March 30-The newest economy instituted by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad is the establishment of a piggerN in West Springfield at which pork will be fattened on garbage from the com pany's dining cars.
 A recently adopted city ordinance provides that all garbage must be turned over to the city's collectors. Hotels and restaurants, which. have sold their garbage, have rebelled at the ordinance, and in some >instance es have circumvented the city by leasing farm property a legal outlet for their table and kitchen refuse.
 The New Haven Railroad has joined these ranks and has filed with the superintendent of streets the required notice that it proposes to divert it's garbage to it's own property.
