KING THURMAN
 SHOT HIMSELF AN AWFUL TRAGEDY IS THE STORY OF MANS
 DEATH.
LEAVES TOUCHING NOTE
TORN IN BITS BY BEAR MOTH ING WAS LEFT BUT
 DEATH.

One of the most awful and vivid" tragedies of Alaskan life was the death of King Thurman as told this morning by William Austin who was the first man to find the body of Thur man in the cabin in Chickaloon Flats. Mr. Au tin arrived last night and brought with him scrap of paper which carries a few words written by Thurman showing the frightful agony of the poor fellow before he brought his gun into play to end what was left of life.
 The last words of Thurman were written on a paper at the top of which was a notice of location. As the right hand had been torn by the bear the poor fellow evidently had to use the left hand. The letters were printed laboriously and some of them were illegible entirely. They were written up and down the page like list of names.
 Have ben tore up by a brown bear. No show to get out. Good by.'
 Then, later, Thurman evidently tried to write again but the suffering was too great. "Im sane but I'm suaerin" he printed and then came some print ed letters that could not be deciphered. and his last effort brought out the words "the-of death"
 Mir. Austin and J. Wik found the body on March 4. When the other two men went to bury it they cut open the clothes. The whole right side was tern and chewed ID from the sF 'ulder dovn and the ubs were loosen d from the 5aci tone. The left hip was a''o torn IF as were the right a'rl and calf of the right leg. Mir. Austin be- lieves the bear must have attacked him about hundred yards from the cabin. Thurman hardly ever went un- armed but in this case he had evident ly left the cabin to get bucket Of water. In the cabin was also found a diary kept by the unfortunate man. The last entry was dated July 25. This entry was "Came to cabin last evening"

Inspired with the belief that theirs is one of the districts of Alaska most favored as a true land of promise to homeseekers, and acting on the theory that Everything comes to communi- ties as we'll as individuals who hustle while they wait," the people of Sel- dovia and the Kachemak bay country have organized commercial club and it's committees are busy compiling data and preparing to issue descrip- tive literature. This work is under the able generalship of Miss Juliet Anderson, teacher of the public school and known locally as the Empress of Little Russia.

RUSSIANS FALL
 BACK ON GRODNO
GERMANS OCCUPY AUGUSTOWA AND THREATEN REAR OF
 WARSAW.

BERLIN, March 15.--It is officially announced this morning that the Rus sians have fallen back on Grodno ard that the Germans have occupied the city of Augustowa. Grodno is north east by east of Warsaw and the re- treat of the enemy at that point in- dicates that the German army is steadily advancing from the north to take Warsaw on the rear au! sur round it. Should the Russians be de- feated there it will be almost impos- sible for them to avoid a general re- treat and the loss of the Polish capi- tai but it is admitted that they are now in strong positions and the task of dislodging them will be a severe one. The Germans are now south, west, north and northeast of the capi- tai and seem to be gradually closing up. A further advance of about fifty miles would bring our troops directly east of the city. In the meantime we are concentrating for a general at tack on the main Russian positions around Przasnysz and it is believed to be the intention of Hindenburg to press the attacks and crush his way south if possible.

COUNTY AND STATE FAIRS

Fol the encouragement of better
farming the state legislature made il
possible for the commissioners of each
county to set aside $4,000 TO be paid
out TO the farmers and stockmen of
each county for the best products or
stock exhibited at the county fair.
The last legislature allowed a good
sum Of money for a state fair and the
city of Albuquerque has raised a like
sum which will be paid to the exhib-
itors who enter their stock and farm
products at the state fair.
The state fairs in the East are al
ways looked forward TO with great in
terest. We have known farmers in
Missouri who raised mules and took
particular care TO pick out their best
span or spans and then feed and care
for them in hope of securing the much
coveted blue ribbon. The state fairs
Of the east have done more TO cause
the farmers to raise pure-bred cattle
and horses than any other one thing.
Those in charge of the Quay county
fair will no doubt set the date a few
days in advance of the state fair SO
that the winners here may take their
products TO Albuquerque and compete
with those of other counties, so let
us begin now and stake out our best
products and show to the world that
New Mexico Is awake and capable OF
doing much more than she has been
given credit OF accomplishing.

live down. But Senator Weeks case
is more serious than this. Among the
stockholders he would not be called
n Of the first order. II all the stock
brokers in New York and Boston were
to choose a representative man Of their
number, a man standing highest Of
their crowd, to put forward as their
candidate for the highest office in the
land, Senator Weeks would not be
their choice, LIST, second or third. This
Is not the time nor the place to de-
velop Senator Weeks handicap at a
greater length. That it would be de-
veloped with joyous acclaim in a pres
idential az between John W. Weeks
and Woodrow Wilson is about as sure
rs anything practicable in politics.
Fancy the democratic newspapers of
the United States reproducing the cir
culars in which Mr.. Weeks firm two
or three years ago offered Sealshipt
Oyster Preferred TO the public! If
for no better reason than the gayety
of natiocs, we want to see better
sport next year than the race between
Woodrow Wilson and John W. Weeks
would be.

ROCKING THE BOAT

A Chicago reader of Golfers asks
what all this Weeks talk among the
Illinois Old Guard means" Certainly
the most determined of the various
efforts to get the Republican nomina-
ton for the presidency is that being
made by the Massachusetts senator's
powerful hackers. II things should
go along for n year as they are today,
with Weeks organization resourceful
and determined, and the other candi-
dates merely receptive, then Senator
Weeks clearly would be the most pow
erful figure in the convention a year
from now. This information may
come as a surprise to republicans in
the West and Middle West. They
think of the situation as a f~ree-for-all
and-not-very-exciting race among Bo-
rsh, Cummins, Burton. Herrick, Mann
and one or two others. But the Weeks
candidacy is not on any such easy
going basis. II is organized on the
basis Of the old wire-pulling regime,
with able and resourceful men back
of IL. Now these able men who are
giving their energy and resources to
Mr.. Weeks boom would not be doing
It, OF course, unless they thought that
he could be elected. They are going
on the assumption that any republican
car be elected next year. This mis-
taken point of view is a part of the
narrowness of their own outlook on
public affairs, and the arrogance of
their confidence in their power.
Thoughtful persons, including the ma
jority Of the republicans throughout
the West and Middle West, know IL is
not true that anybody can be elected
on the republican ticket next year. II
will take a very strong candidate To
win, and Of all the candidates for the
republican nomination who are public.
ly discussed just now, Senator Weeks
Is the n most open to the sort OF
attack that would be sure TO defeat
him. II Is only fair to say that Mr.
Weeks record as a congressman and
senator has not been unworthy. Blu,

Of course, does not disqualify him for
