GOVERNOR HURTING HOME TO VETO BILL CONTAINING
 A JOKER.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Feb. 22.- If the law passed by the legis- lature to relieve the tax burdens of farmers becomes effective, John D. Rockefeller, the Gil king will escape paying taxes on about s35 5,000,000 worth of property.
 The discovery of the joker in the law has been wired to the governor who is out of the city and he is hurrying back home as fast as possible in order to veto the measure before it is too late.
 It was only through an acci- dent that the effect of the law was noticed and there is some suggestion made here that the friends of the richest man in the world" had something to do with the framing of the bill in such way as to make the Rockefeller property immune from taxation.

All is in readiness for the big rail rad carnival, the greatest celebra- tion in the history of Fairbanks, to begin this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock with a parade of the local Shrine.
 From the starting of the Shrine parade there will be no lull in the jollification, which will last as Ing as there is one person who feels that he has enough remaining strength to keep going
 Since it was first decided to hold the celebration today, the various committees having the affair in charge have been busy preparing for it, and there is a general feel ng that ii will be the m st important event in the history of the city.
 People coming into the city from the other districts will pay nothing for the celebration, with the excep- ton of their reduced railroad fares, and advices from the creeks receiv- ed by telephone last night are tc the effect that a large number of people will arrive here on the regular train this evening at o'clock. Others are expected to come today by auto mobiles and other c9nveyances.
 The Shrine parade will leave the tulitorium at 1:20 o'clock and after passing through the main part of the city will join the general masked parade that will leave First avenue and Cushman street at 2;3O o'clock, he Shriners taking their place at the head of the procession.

 Grand Marshal Date will be dressed IS conductor and will pass along ne line to collect fares. He win be accompanied by his aides, dressed as brakemen There will be a real German band in the parade.
 Nobody can afford 10 miss this parade, for it will be one of the most unique events ever witnessed n Interior Alaska. The parade will have an imitation train, to 1e designated the Alaska Limited There will be real conductor and .wo firemen and locomotive, which will be drawing passenger coaches.
 The passenger coaches will be load od with pretty women, who will put

heir heads from the windows to see the sights of the city. The com mittee having charge of this train has requested that all ladies who will become passengers to appear promptly at the train at the time set for starting, and that they be all masked.
 That the children will have a chance to enjoy their share of the celebration to the fullest extent, the Orpheum and the Pclaris theaters have announced that the children will be admitted free after the after noon parade is completed. Parents with children will be admitted free also.

 riation being placed at $40,000,000. hough the committee composed ot members of the house and senate
 hich has the consideration of the
 ill in hand. has not taken up that 'eature Cf the measure.
 Owing to the absence of Senator Chamberlain, the committee accom- plished but little at it's meeting yes terday. It is believed. however, thai the committee will end it's work and will be prepared to make it's report early in the week.
 One of the things to be decided by the joint committee is whether the Cummins amendment, requiring the President to purchase the exist ing railroad lines in Alaska, shall be included in the bill when it will be reported back for approval.
 That some of the senators will insist on the adoption of the Cum mins amendment is assured by those close in touch with the situation There will be a strong effort made 70 defeat the amendment on the ground that it is fathered by the owners of railroads in Alaska who would like to dispose of them at arge prices to the government
 Should the government decide to Nurchase the present lines in the Territory, however, the roads will be condemned and price on them will Ne fixed by the courts.

Alaska Senators
 Burned In Ehgy
REPORTED ATTITUDE OF THE OFFICIALS AROUSES COR
 DOVA RESIDENTS.

CORDOVA, Feb. 22. Seven senators of the Alaska legisla- ture. who are reported to have opposed the government owner ship of the railroads in Alaska, were burned in effigy here Tues day The action was prompted by a report cf the attitude of the local legislators, printed in the Congressional Record of January 2S, which had just reach ed here.
 The attitude of the Alaska sen ators was considered detrimen- tai to the good of the Territory and has ar r-used much lopular indignation. A large crow wit messed the burning of the eff gies, which was accompanied by much applause.
 The foregoing telegram from Cordova does not go into de tail regarding who the l2cal sen ators are and in what way they have aroused the indignation of the people of Cordova Repre- sentative Dan Driscoll, when ask, cd for his opinion said that he believed it was due to the man. her in which seven members Cf the Alaska senate voted to send four of their members to Wash ing on to work for the railroad bill. There was an effort made, he said, by the senate to have the house join in sending the senatcrs to Washington and when this failed, the seven members of the senate voted the thing themselves. Only one member of the senate opposed the vote of the other seven members.
 It was the general opir0n. Mir. Driscoll said that the ,ommit- tees sent by the senate Wash ingtcn were working in the in terest of private cor .rations. as they paid their own expenses. The senators who voted in favor of sending four of their mem bers were Bruner and Freed ing of the Second district: Ray and Willard of the Third dis trict; Tripp and Tanner of the First district and Roden of the Fourth. Dan Sutherland, of Ruby. was the only one to vote against the plan.
