fundamental conceptions of govern.
mental policies upon which the DEM
ocratic party bases its right to exist.
His personal friendship, and political
support of President Wilson tells
strongly in his behalf, because, un-
questionably, the people of the coun-

''He makes a profoundly strong
and eloquent appeal when he denoun-

platform, which derides the peace
policy of Bryan and Wilson.
"Heretofore, Mr.. Slemp has had
back of him the active support and
it is said. the contributions of the
Federal office holders. He had also
the power and prestige of a long un-
broken succession of Republican ad-
ministrations behind him. The situa-

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 21, 1918

The promptness with winch tho two houses of congress responded to the request of the president to be permitted to act in the Mexican situa- tion, with the armed forces of the United States. and the prompt grant, ing of fifty millions of dollars as . war fund show how patriotism of the American rises above political differ ences when the honor of our coun- try is to be maintained. It is but ono Uf the many changes which may be seen by the close observer of public events during the last fifteen years and which has been more in evidence the last few years, that is, that ad- herence to right principles. rather to party demands for party sake: the oblr. ration of party lines and the giving of support to measures brought forward by the opposite party which is known or thought to be for the public good. Or in other words the subsistence of the stand-pat party po- Mtician and the appearance of the progressive and aggressive man who dares and prefers to be right regard less of the party whip. Party lines havo vanished in many instances of late and there is more of independence manifested. not only by the voters of the country. but by those high in the c.uncil of tho parties which augurs we'll for the country in general.

foot" said Commissioner of the Land Office Fred Dennett. "StiIl we manage to sell good many million acres at tha.. Whenever the tract is particularly rich there is nearly always a sale. This is due to the fact that the person claiming the land usually wishes to start mining on a gigantic scale. All that takes big capital, however, more money usually than the claimant can command from his own personal resources. So 1t is necessary for him to organize company, and, natur- ally, people are not going to invest with the proprietors of mine unless they own that mine. The other way, you see. there might be strike. or something which would cause the work to stop for say, thirty days. Thus somebody else might jump the claim on the ground that it was not being worked. and there would be pretty question to be settled at law.
 we manage to make quite few sales last year, for instance, they totaIed more than $6,oO0,QG0. Even at that. though, counting the expenditures of the land office and those of the geological survey, the government probably lost money"

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
 BATTLE OF sTONINGToN
Preparations Are We'll Under Way for Big Event in August at Stoning- ton

The citizens committee on the cen tennial celebration of the Battle of Stontngton are busted in preparing for the big event and the whole people are unit in the preparation for a cordial reception to all visitors and special arrangements will be made for the entertainment of the visiting or ganizations. and among the latter there will be several from New Lon- don. Stonington Is noted for hos pitality and past excellent records in that line will be broken next August Although the town received from the tion asked for that fact will in no way detract from the greatness of the three days of celebration. The sev- era1 fire companies have each invited fire companies from other towns to participate in the firemen's day parade which will be feature of the cele- bration, and it is expected that fifteen fire organizations will be in line and that each will be accompanied by a band in real old volunteer firemen style.
 Within a short time there will be several thousand celluloid button sou- venirs in circulation advertising the celebration. On these buttons will be pictured the historical monument, the cannon and the cannon balls and the words: "Stonington, Conn, August s-10-1814-1914." There will also be a large number of buttons in bronze of like design that will be offered for sale. All the historic places fin the borough will be properly marked and everything possible will be done by the people to make the event the biggest kind of a big success.

 These government prospectors never start out looking for gold or. indeed, for any other one mineral. They search for anything and everything. They start with the definite information that there is a certain tract of primitive land, absolutely untenanted, on which the land office has no report.

If there are no indications of gold, they look for silver. They may find neither, or both. In either instance they continue to look. searching for evidences of coal, iron, lead, phosphate and even borax If the land has no mineral value at all they consider its timber, to note whether it may be valuable to 6 lumberman.

 For instance, whereas land which Un- cle Sam will all but positively guarantee to contain gold may be had for S5 per acre, even the most indifferent sort of coal land will probably bring at least S10 an acre. And within the past three years Uncle Sam has sold coal land in Wyoming for $500 per acre. Now, how ever this same land could not be repur- chased from the men who bought it from Uncle Sam for even S5,oo0 per acre.
