ried a Populist and begat the Progress
sive. He is intensely partisan in his
nonpartisan emphasis on independence
in politics, and votes for no man who
will not bolt his ticket The Bull
Mooser kicked out of party traces two
years ago, and he insisted on all the
world kicking with him.
No dou'.t, IL you laugh the world
laughs with you; but if you kick you
kick alone. He made a tremendous
rumpus kicking down his stalEdid this
middle-class gentleman in the Bull
Moose party; but when it was all done
he was alone amid the ruins
He did not get out of the middle
class. The industrial vote of the Pro-
gressive party is insignificant. Three
days after the recent election nine gen.
tlemen forgathered in a great city Of
fee building. OF the nine gentlemen
seven were miilionaires. The office was
garnished with mahogany and leather
soft, pleasurable leather that fits the
back; and the seven millionaire and
two well-to-do citizens damned the la
boring man rather extensively and with
deep emotion for yielding to what they
called the belly issue in their state.
Hence. the belly issue got the labor
ing man and he voted for Penrose and
regarded the Progressive platform for
social and industrial Justice much as
he dreamed of the New Jerusalem, with

down toward the end of the order of
business
Nor did the farmer generally respond
this year to the call of the Moose. In
the great agricultural states of the Mis-
souri, valley the Progressive vote in
farming communities was respectable
but not dangerous. The Bull Moose
farmer was generally the farmer with
u silo. a piano. motor car, and an al
falfa field, who sported little in
blooded pigs ard was always doing Gu
rious things out Of the agricultural pa
pers.
"In the old convention days., before
the primary took the drama out Of
politics. this farmer used to head the
delegation from his township that sat
in the courthouse all the afternoon,
swapping with the city politicians, to
name a sheriff from his township and
give the city fellows the members of
the legislature. He was the funda-
mental boss on whom the boss system
Roosevelt; and when agitation began to
grow against the convention system this
farmer encouraged 1t. He was inter-
ested in improvements.
He is with the Progressive party
much as he is with his slot is mod
ern; it sounds reasonable: and it is
eminently respectable. He is middle
class conscious. His new religion has
taught him to consider others-so he
wants to help the poor; he is willing
to contribute his five or ten dollars
to the state campaign: he is willing to
run on the county ticket-not that he
cares for the Office, but to bring about
the social and industrial justice that
is a part of his creed.
-Four million Republicans bolted
their ticket two years ago to vote for
Roosevelt; probably another million,
fearing Roosevelt, bolted their party
to vote for Wilson; and certainly more
than that number bolted their party
to vote against the Progressives in
their own party who had captured

 The call for the meeting was sign I'd by some of the leading people of the city, and it is believed that al most every man, woman and child in the city would have attached his pr her name 10 it if there had been opportunity for asking them.
 The meeting is prompted by the feeling that if the people of this city other place may secure the railroad, nd Fairbanks will be left 10 one idle. and not even become a way
 ation.
 It is realized that to get anything
 orth while effort must be made for l. and if Fairbanks is to get the 'ecognition that is due here, her aop'e must be up and doing.
 While it is believed hat the work If securing the railroad terminal ,ould be carried on to good advant- age by the Fairbanks Commercial rlub. it realized that two organiza- ions, the one having is origin from he mass of the people themselves.
 i'll be able to accomplish more than me could expect to do.
 At the meeting to be held Thurs lay evening, everyone will have nance to express his views and to make suggestions for boosting the ity's interests.

 There has been some suggestion hat Fairbanks should work to have the road come by way of Haines mission to Fairbanks, but there is ome opposition to this, as any eff ort on the part of the city to take ar in the fight that is sure to be aged between the various Alaska 0rts for the coast terminal of the oad. it is believed, would arouse op- it'on to this city, and woul7 urt her in her main object to get a road here

CALL IS MADE FOR RAILROAD
 MEETING THURSDAY EVE.
At Gathering Be Held That Time In the Big Court Room Up Stairs Committees Will Be Appointed to Work for
 Railroad Terminal for l his City,

Reports have been received in Fair banks to the effect that various other places down the river vii make organized efforts to get the railroad. late issue of the Ruby Record Citizen comes out win the declaration hat that place is proper terminal point for the proposed road
 There is another danger to Fair banks hopes for the railroad, and that is that instead of coming here or even near here. it will go from Cook Inlet through some part of the Idi.arod district, or by way of the head waters of the Kuskokwim river to some point on the Yukon river below the Junction with the latter of the Panama river. If such route is selected. Fairbanks would re-
 eive no benefit whatever.
 It is made clear by he provisions of the bill authorizing the construc- ton of the road, that it is intended to operate it to the Yukon river. IT near it. |; has been suggested by some Fairbanks people that if it is to go to the Yukon river it should aome by way of Fairbanks and pass 'nrOuSh the mountains 10 Clrcle CllF
 From present indications it seems that the President will put the mat ter in the hands of board of arm engineers, which will surve' earious routes, and the report of such a board will be considered in he selection of route. While the routes are being surveyed. it is point ed out Fairbanks should be busy sending to various officials such data as will tend 70 show the advantages of the construction of the road to this city Then, when final action is talk en. and the route is to be decided. there will he but little official ignor- ance of his city's claim to recogni tion
 Practically all the preliminary ar arrangements have been made for the meeting to be held Thursday even- :ne Judge Fuller and Deputy Mar hal Clark have both given their consent to the use of the court house for that occasion

 A telegram will be sent by Judge Fuller and Deputy Marshal Clark to Governor Strong, who will forward it with one of his own to Washing on. The last touches to he hospital were completed Saturday, and the
 osts, it was found upon completing he accounts, were only about $2 in excess of the appropriation.
 According to law the hospital is O be turned over to the government by Judge Fuller, Marshal Erwin and Governor Strong. Some time ago ap- plicaton was made for funds to naintain the hospital, but no reply

 edith hat the Territory contains.
 he following is copied from the let ter:
 Il am indeed gratified that my forts in behalf of the Alaska rail- oa1 bill were successful, and certain appreciate your commendation. The

MANAGER OF SOUTHERN PACIFIC DEFENDS TRANSPORTATION
 COMPANIES.

OAKLAND, Calf, March l. In a talk to the employees of he Southern Pacific company, Gen eral Manager Scott of that cor poration last night declared that the railroads are being made the goats for the high-cos. of living opponents. who assert that the transportation companies are re- sponsible for the present prices of commodities.
 To prove that the railroads have no hand in making the cost of living excessive, Mir. Scott declared that the cost of transporting a suit of clothing 1000 miles by railroad is only seven cents. while to send a pair of shoes the same distance costs only two and one half cen;s.
 The general manager said that he wanted the employees of the railroad to understand that such talk against the transportation corpora ion in unjust and that it should be discouraged.

HANOT DECLARES THAT CH|SANA
 IS A FAILURE
ALEX HANOI SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE PAY CLAIM.
 THERE.

Alex Hanot, formerly of Fair. banks, arrived in this city yesterday from Chisana, coming by way of Mccarthy and Chtina. He declared that the camp has not produced any good claim aside from the one which was located by James last June.
 Mir. Hanot went from Seattle to Chisana August, and remained there from that time until February 4S. He came out over the glacier, making the distance to Me Carthy, 80 miles, in 21 and a half hours. The trip to this city was made in ten days with but one dog, which is considered the best time ever made over that route.
 In speaking of he condition in Chisana, Mr. Hanot said last night hat since the strike was made last June by James, there has not been a single find worth anything. James, he said, has five claims where two creeks come together, and some of hat ground Is very rich.
 The great difficulty with the min ing there is that he water comes iii SO fast that it cannot be handled. There is no way to get rid of the
 ater, for the supply is remarkable, he says.
 A new town is being founded at the mouth of Bonanza creek, eigh. miles from Johnson City, and ten miles nearer by the road to the diggings han is the latter. The town is
 cling founded by people from White Pass, but it has not been named.
 There are now between 600 and 7A0 people in the Chisana district,
 ho have been there during the win CT and are waiting for a chance to get away from there. On his way put of there, Mr. Hanot met tN 0 men who were going into the Chis- ana district. Freight taken in by way of Mccarthy is 15 cents pound. Flour is selling for $25 a sack and sugar is 30 cents a pound.
 During the winter, MT. Hanot declares, only eight men are draw ing pay. They are working for the Henshaw people. There is no claim being worked there now.
 Captain Northway started out with load of freight for Chisana two months ago by way of Gulkana, and has only got 50 miles from the latter place in all that time.
 On his way here from Chitina, MT. Hanot met seeral men who were leaving the Nelchina district. and they explained to him that there is nothing at the latter place to cause stampede.
