cast his vote and saw him vote
an open ballot for prohibition.

III (Signed) S. c. FULLLovE.
Statement of DIR. J. A. Blanchard.
Il was a member of the anti
prohibition executive committee,
and along with Mr.. A. Queries
and Mr.. John d. Wilkinson
handled the anti-prohibition fight
during the campaign in 1907-19oS.
l went on this committee upon
1.-THE invitation and urgence of
the late lamented Captain P.
Youree, in whose views upon
economic and financial matters !
had abiding faith and confidence.
Lieutenant Governor T. C.
Barrett (then a member of the
State Senate) appealed to me not
to take part in the election, urg-
ling that it was contrary to his
views as he was going to stand
on the prohibition side of the
question-the Side which he be-
llieved to be right from the stand
point of morals, economics and
| in every way and that he would
like to see me take the same view
of the question.
Il know that Mr.. Barrett did
not waver in his view of the mat
ter from the time the campaign
/ began until the polls were closed,
and | am quite sure that every
body connected with the anti
prohibition caucus (Mr. A. Quer-
bes, Mr.. J. D. Wilkinson, and all
others) knew positively that Mr..
Barrett stood for prohibition in
the fight. That he voted for
prohibition was never doubted
or questioned by anybody at
that time or since, so far as
know. Certainly, the anti-pro-
hibition people did not have the
slightest doubt that Mr.. Barrel
was on the prohibition side as he
said from the beginning: When
ever the line is drawn and the
question is asked, who is on the
Lords side, you need not have
any doubt where | am going tt
line up. These were practically
his words. Mr.. Barrett was
t checked as prohibitionist or

Charges
Against Barrel
False


Barrett issued a statement with
reference to Colonel Peasants
charge, made in a speech at Col
fax, that he voted a secret bal
lot in the prohibition election in
Caddo in January, 1908.
Colonel Pleasant" said Mr..
Barrett, is hoist by his own pc
tard. He has made two direct
charges in this campaign to inn
peach my sincerity, and each
time his statements have been
shown to be absolutely false.
| Applying the old Roman maxim
of false in one, false in all, to
Colonel Pleasant, we find that
he is no longer a credible wit
ness.
1.-The statement that | voted a
a secret ballot in the Caddo pro-
hibition election in January, 1908,
! is absolutely untrue. Voluntary
witnesses came forward today
to give the lie to this statement.
At Bernice, Colonel Pleasant
charged that | had actually
faxed case of appendicitis to
escape voting in the second pro-
hibition election. A signed de-
NAL from five reputable physi-
clans disposed of this charge,
j yet Colonel Pleasant has not had
the manhood to correct his state
ment.
Il presume he will pursue a
similar course with reference to
his Colfax charge. that | voted a
secret ballot"
4 The following signed state
ments dispose absolutely of the
charge of Colonel Pleasant with
reference to the voting of a Sc
cret ballot by Mr.. Barrett:

the jiggers of fish traps be limited in length not to exceed 150 feet Tenth: That the present law re- garding the full opening of twenty five feet in the heart walls of trap be changed to read: "That between the hours of six o'clock pm. on Sat urday and six o'clock am. the follow ing Monday of each week the en- trance of the heart of fish traps shall be closed by placing an apron across the entrance thereof, running to the bottom of the trap and the lead next to the heart to be opened to dis tance of not less than ten feet at low water mark.'
 Eleventh: That in consideration If the conservation of salmon we w1ull earnestly call your attention to the necessity of destroying the natural enemy of the fish, and earnestly re- quest that fund be provided to proc ecute such work. This has special references to Bull Heads in partic- ular and generally to all other en- emies of the salmon fry.
 Twelfth: We are heartily in ac- cord with the laws now in existence providing punishment for wanton de- struction or waste of any of the food fish of Alaska, and deplore the lack of enforcement of the same as at pres ent. We bIieve this law should be rigidly enforced to the end that this valuable food supply, becoming more and more essential to the welfare of our. people. be safeguarded in every particular and at any cost.
 Thirteenth: That the control and regulation of the fish and fur bear ing animals and game, an inherent and sovereign right oft he American people in the exercise of local police power, should be vested in the Territorial Legislature.
 And for the favorable consideration of the provisions of this petition, we, your memorialists will ever pray.

QUICKSILVER DEPOSITS OF
 THE KUsKOKWIM REGION

The central part of the Kuskok-
 vim basin is the only portion of Al
 aska where, up to the present time,
 lode deposits of quicksilver that have
 attracted serious attention have been discovered. That there were depo-
 sits of quicksilver in this region has been known since 1880, but not until
 the summer of 1914 were they visited by members of the Geological Survey. At two localities on the Kusks1wim the Parks prospect and prospect near Kolmakof-some quicksilver has
 been produced and sold to the miners
 of the adjacent region.
 Both of these prospects are situated close to the Kuskokwim river-a large stream navigable in summer by good sized river steamers for several hun dred miles above the easternmost of the known quicksilver prospects. Ocean going vessels can ascend the Kuskokwim to point within 150 miles of the westermost prospect The river is open for navigation from
 June to September, inclusive, but during most of the winter even Der ing Sea, beyond the mouth of the river, is blocked with ice Small timber suitable for mine use Is fairly plentiful in the better drained low.
 iand areas, but on the hillsides it sell dom extends to elevations of more than 800 feet above the Kuskokwim.
 Only a few settlements have been made in the Kuskokwim basin, anl probably less than 100 white people live in that part which lies west of the eastermost place where quicksilver
 has been found. Few except the most
 ordinary supplies can be bought in
 the region, so that equipment for ex- tensive mining or prospecting must be brought from the States. Only
 two small power schooners or boats on special charter, visit the region
 once or twice year, and no regular line of passenger steamers call at the | Kuskokwim.- Report.

ERRORS OF SCULPTORS.
Statues In England Noted For Crude
 Blunders In Modelling.

Statues In England Noted For Crude
 Blunders In Modelling.
 Some of the statues in public places in England are notable for certain unique symbols or glaring errors in modelling. One of the former kind is the statue of Sir Anthony Ashley at Wimborne. Dorset. Carved out of stone at the feet of the figure is faithful representation of a cabbage, indicating that Sir Anthony introduced the vegetable from Holland into England.
 Even more peculiar is the carving on one of the four panels on the Queen Victoria statue in George square. Glas- gow. The subject is the knighting of James Anderson. the lord provost of the ceremony was performed with an umbrella. and the substitute has been copied by the sculptor. This same statue Is incorrect in one important detail. The stately pose of the horse Is negatived by the position of the hind legs-a position which is only possible when horse is racing at full speed.
 Perhaps the worst equestrian statue in the world Is that erected in front of Trinity college. Dublin, to the memory of King William III. Among other faults. one of the forelegs of the horse is straight and the other curved con- siderably. yet both hoofs meet side by side on the pedestal.-London Spare Moments.

HUDSON's BAY co.
 CLOSES AT FORT GEORGE

Fort George,-A sad event in the history of the West, and one which brings home in marked degree the transformation which is taking place in the onetime frontier, is the clos ing up of the Hudson's 8 Bay Company post here after 110 years trading.
 This event occurred this week. owing to the fact of the company's post being for the time being sidetracked owing to the development of the city at some distance north of their old location.
 The Fort George post was founded about III years ago by Simon Fraser the great explorer, who, as an officer of the Northwest Company, establish ed this post when on his voyage of discovery down the great river that bears his name. He called it after the reigning monarch of the period.
 Fort George has continued, ever since that date, as trading post. The first location of the post was on the northeast corner of land which is now the Indian reserve, but the location on which it stands today has been the location of the post for the past forty years or so. Many sturdy pioneer has come and gone as officer in-charge of the staunch old post, and through the days of the preliminary surveys of the c. P. R. forty years ago, before the Rogers pass route had been chosen by the c. P. R. engineers Fort George played an important part. In latter years during the survey and construction of the G. T. P. many an important plan was thought out and arranged within the bleak walls of the old post All through the many years of the past the men of the "silent places" have bartered there with the Indians, and carried ,n the work of civilization which the great trading post brought to the West.-Prince Rupert News.

Be is resolved by the Legislature of the Territory of Alaska. That we do hereby respectfully memoralizze and petition the Con. gross of the United States as follows:
 First: That all taxing power over the fishing industry of Alaska be ves- ted in the Territorial Legislature only.
 Sccond That an adequate number of fast patrol boats. properly equip ped, and manned by competent, ener- eetic and reliable officers, be sup. piled for the strict and impartial en. forcement of the fishing laws govern. ing the closed season and other reg nlations of the fishing industry.
 Third: That the relating of taxes by the government, in consideration or the release of salmon fry is the most pernicious, obnoxious and un- just law now upon the statute books pertaining to this Territory. We strongly recommend that the Govern. ment take over and operate all salmon hatcheries in Alaska.
 Fourth: That the use of herring and other food fish of Alaska for the manufacture of fertilizer be prohib. ited.
 Fifth: That markers and monu. 'nents be established to fix the mouth of each salmon stream, and that no trap be permitted within one.half mile of the mouth of any commercial salmon stream, and that no seines or other fishing gear be allowed within one thousand feet outside of the mouth of such stream as so marked.
 Sixth; That severe penalty be imposed upon any person obstructing the free passage of salmon in any stream in Alaska by barricades or other artificial barriers.
 Seventh: That the fishing season be closed in each of the several sec. tions of the Territory on certain specified dates to be regulated ac. eording to the conditions and species or fish which are taken in the several sections, and that only those who have full knowledge of these condf- tons shall be designated to act in the matter.
 Eighth: That the present law bc so amended as to prohibit aliens en- gazing in the catching of fish in the waters of Alaska.
 Ninth: That the leads of fish traps be limited to a maximum length of not to exceed 2.500 feet; and that

Beauty of Zambezi Falls,

To realize fully the wondrous beauty of the Zambezi falls, Rhodesia, one must have time to finger and watch the ever changing scene. The depths of the chasm below are yelled from sight by the rising columns of opales- cent mist, and above the yawning abyss the sun glints and sparkles, weaving the drops into magnificent rainbow. Three hundred feet below roars and boils the swirling flood as 1t emerges from the Boiling Pot, rushing on down the zigzag gorge between tow ering cliffs of rock. narrow, fierce and of unfathomable depth.-African World.
