 London, Sept. 30-The dog ged determination of the Allies n France has won at last, and the German right is broken, and the Allies are now actively pursuing the fragments of what was von Kluk's wonderful fight ing machine, in the effort to cut It up further and prevent it's reorganization.

NO NEED OF PARTIES
There may be reasons. imNag

ka's voting population shoule be divided into political parties but to- this writer, for the pres ent at least, no valid reason eX- ists for such political division among our people. With the exception of what little influ- ence our delegates may exer- else in the National Convention every four years we have nc part, and can have no part, in formulating the National pol icies of the Government, and therefore no party or National principal is involved in our To- cal elections, and will not Dc until such time as Alaska be- comes a State and entitled to vote in the halls of Congress.
 Our local legislature is not called upon to elect a United States Senator, which fact should elimina'e all politics from that law making body. The legislature, therefore. is biennially sent to Juneau, moi for the purpose of spending sixty days in wrangling over political questions, but on the contrary, to legislate in the in terests of the people regardless of political partisanship. Our local leg -latule also, under present conditions. should be kept free from the chicanery and bargaining of politicians who seek to- further their fu- ture ambitions at the expense of the people who elect them to make laws, and for no other purpose. It follows, then, that politics and partisanship should have no place in the Alaska leg iSlature. The party man with a political axe to grind will prove la poor servant of the people.
 The employer does not ask the employed as to what politi- cal party he belongs. He is in terested only in knowing that the service for which he is paid will be performed. So also with the people when they em- plov a Legislator. They want to know, and have a right to demand. that the service for which they Fay will be perform ed in their interest, and the leg islator's politics, in this Terri tory, is not a consideration.
 We assume that every voter in the Territory is interested in the enactm ent of only such leg islation as will prove most ben- eficial to the people generally, and this result can more near ly be obtained by the election Of only men, or women, whose entire time will be devoted to the enactment of such legis- lation as will accrue to the benefit of all the people, and not spend their time playing politics.
 Therefore is it not apparent to any reasonable person that better results can be expected. from legislature selected without regard to former politi- cal affiliations than from a strictly political body which will waste. at least a consider able portion of it's time, quarrel ing over political patronage, present and future. There ap- pears but one reasonable aa- sver:: Elect a legislature whose business it will be to legislate, whose men,bers have no politl- cal fences to repair, friends to reward or enemies to punish; :; who will represent, no' politi- ral parties but the people.

PASSENGER Coaches.

A summary of railway progress in
the United States, Mexico and Canda

Age Gazette, shows a slight increase
in mileage over that built last year and
about equal additions of new cars and
locomotives. Seventeen receiverships
we're established, involving $477,7SO,-
500 in funded debt and stock, against
10 last year, involving $1S2,112,497 in
stock and funded debt. Foreclosures,
however, were filed against IL last
year, the total mileage involved be-
ing 1853.
New track built in the United States
this year was 4467 miles; last year,
4211. Canada built 1866; last year,
2432. Mexico built 83 miles this year;
last year, 212.

locomotives and ordered 1907 more.
Last year they received 4913 locomo-

MINE BANDIT GONE
ALL HOPES OF FINDING RALPH
LOPEZ, DEAD OR ALIVE,
ABANDONED BY SHERIFF.
MANY MINERS STILL IN PURSUIT
Bingham, Utah, Was Scene Of Excite
ment for Past Few Weeks
Lopez Most Deadly Marks
man-Had Killed 6.

Bingham, Utah.-,All hopes of find
ing Ralph Lopez, dead or alive, in the
Utah Apex mine were abandoned sud
denly Sunday. Sheriff Smith with
drew his searchers from the interior
workings and the guards from the
portals, leaving the mine unmatched
for the first time since November 81.
After killing two deputies in an I'M
making six in all he had killed within
eight days, Lopez called to his pur-
suers that more than six men would
have to sacrifice their lives if they
expected to capture him. That he had
made good his boast by escaping, al
though no more men were killed, is
conceded by his pursuers.
Sheriff Smith declared that his sud-
den determination to abandon the
search was reached only after he was
satisfied that the desperate either
had escaped or been crushed to death
beneath some cave-in, which would
prevent his body being found. How
ever, many miners planned to begin
a search on their own account Mon
day, hoping that Lopez's body was
overlooked. A reward of $1,000 is of
fered for his capture or the recovery
of his body.
Two possible ways for Lopez t.
have got out of the mine undetecteC
are given by those who have partic
ipated in the man hunt. One is tina
he discovered an abandoned exit un
known and unguarded by the officers
The other is that he found way int
the lowest level of the mine and made
his way out with a group of miners
coming off shift.
Lopez was perhaps the most deadl,
marksman that ever faced posse
He shot a revolver from the hip. II
kill six men he fired only seven shots
every bullet taking effect. Four bul
lets passed through the hearts of fou
of his victims. Two others entered

fatherless children. One child wa
born after the death of its father.
Among his victims was Chief of Pc
