When the Whist Club of New York re- vised the laws of auction whist they made many needed changes for the betterment of Che game. The take off bids that require only more tricks regardless of the value of the suit, will greatly simplify the bidding and compel the holder of the lower valued suit to bid the fun strength of his hand.
 The new method of bidding is not fully understood by many players, SO l will explain 1t that anyone may be able to use it who wishes
 North deals and bids one heart. east two clubs. south two hearts; west three clubs; north three Ills; east four clubs south, four hearts: west pass north four Ills; east five clubs. and an pass. East holds the declaration with five clubs, valued at thirty over four Ills. valued at thirty-six.
 Under the old method the player of liH,e experience often found him self making an underbid chat pre- vented his partner from taking any further part in the bidding. and being compelled to play losing declaration thereby, because after making an in- sufficient bid. the adyersaries would compel him to play the hand at the increased number of tricks that were necessary to take off the previous declaration The same law is still ef- fective. although there Is less lilSli- hood of its violation; but if two clubs should be bid after two hearts the bidder can be forced to increase the bid to three and be compelled to play the hand
 Another change that has been made that wri not meet with much favor with many players outside of New York and its vicinity, is the entire elimination of Che spade bids When the game was first introduced the spade bids excepting tho one spade, were not known. As the game pro gressed, the other spade bids were added to meet tho requirements Of tho informaiory bidding and were Of great value to convey the information to partner that the hand contained certain strength Many valuable hands were made that were wirthless unless the spade bids could be used.
 Then later the possibilities of the spade became so great that every player had some special meaning for eachd This was great mistake and the use of them became iso much abused that some players claimed that their use was not fair and that the in- formation was not in accordance with the ethics oi the game This criti- cism was Inc doubt just and the use of the spade bids was greatly abused, but inntead of eliminating them aitogetth- CT they should have been regulated. Why not allow one spade to indicate fair amount of strength. but not sufficient 10 make an original positive declaration.

PROPOSALS, PAST AND PRESENT, TO
 DIVIDE ALASKA

The N. A. Fuller story recently re printed by The Empire from the Portland Journal introduced anew a subject that has come up two or three times within the history of Alaska the annexation of the territory to Washington asa county of that com. monwealth.
 Three times in the '70s were wills introduced in Congress to make Alas ka a county in Washington Territory The first man to introduce such bnl was the late selueious Garfield - fa- ther of Charles D. Garfield, of Ju' neau-then Delegate to Congress from Washington Territory Later, sena- tor Nesmith of Oregon. introduced a similar bin in the United States sen ate And yet later the late Judge Orange Jacobs, who was elected Dele gate to Congress from Washington Territory in 1874, again introduced the bill making Alaska a county in the Territory of Washington.
 Later in the history of Alaska, ai- ter Nome and Fairbanks had develop ed. and the settled and growing parts of the Territory became widely sep arated and the difficulties our magni- fcent distances interposed to the transaction of official business be- came more apparent, James M. Shoup, then United states marshal, suggest ed in an interview that Southeastern Alaska-the Panhandle should be severed from the remainder Of Alas ka and organized as Alaska County, Washington. The matter was discuss- ed in Alaska and Puget Sound papers, but the people of this section did not generally speaking, take kindly 10 the idea of losing their Alaskan Identity. though the plan suggested was not without supporters in various sections of Southeastern Alaska.
 While 1t has been sometime since the suggestion of annexation Co Wash ington has ceased to be discussed, every now and again there has been talk Of dividing the Territory In the Territorial convention held at Ju- neau in 1899 when delegates from various sections of the Territory con .seued here and adopted a code, muni- cipal incorporation act and other stat utes which they recommended that Congress enact. and selected John C.. Price, Of SlSagway, as Delegate to Congress to press the passage of the bills before that body the late Gen. C. w Turner. a lawyer at that time residing in skagway proposed the division of Alaska Into two Territor. ies, with the establishment of Ter ritorial form of government, for those p'trts or the Territory now in the First and Third Divisions The sug gestlon. like that proposed by the late Gov A. P. swineford president of the convention. and Col Sol Ripnsky a delegate from Flames for 9 Iefritor- ial form of government for the whole Territory was voted down.
 Yet later. In speech at Juneau. Judge James Wickersham, now Dele gate to Congress, proposed that Alas ka be cut into three Territories and predicted that In time there would be- three States in the North sitka. Sew. ard and Alaska

UNITED Press Correspondence
LONDON, Nov, 2. (By mail. FLOR
NAL complaint has Just been made to
the government by the boot ana shoe
interests of the United Kingdom that
all OF the allies-Russia, France. Ser
bfa and Italy-are shoeing their
armies in the United States and not
in England.
The immediate cause of the protest
was the placing In the United States
by the Russian government Of an
order for 100000 pairs of high-leg-
ged boots-the biggest boot or shoe
order ever given.
Experts In the British boot and
shoe trade. who declare England could
have filed the order as well as the
United States, say that seven to eight
feet OF upper leather will be necessary
for each pair of the boots. making a
total leather consumption OF 2O,O00,O0O
feet.
This order. and others placed by
France, Italy and Serbia will make a
total of s,000,yoo pairs of boots and
shoes American firms have furnished
to the allied armies. The Russian
order alone takes from England $751;
100000.
The boots now being made in
America for Russia will cost her about
s. pair. The British manufacturers
declare this is about 81 Il pair cheaper
than they could have done. but they
insist the quality of their product
would have been superior to that of
the successful American bidders.

Opinion is for Cummins for president
