SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE
HELPING RED CROSS

ATLANTA, Ga, December 14..-"The
public school children of Georgia are
doing magnificent work this year in
aiding in the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas SEALS" said James P Faulkner
today, executive head of the W. G.
Raoul Foundation, which has state
wide supervision of the Christmas seal

1t is work of which they and
their parents may well be proud" said
Re, and it is to their efforts that we
owe a great deal of the increase in
sales over past years"
The Red Cross seal sales this year
are going ahead of anything in the
past, and many organizations are help
ing. The women's clubs, the Boy
Scouts Sunday school classes, King

as the Atlanta AID club, are all doing
their share, and new consignments Of
seals are being sent out almost daily.
There is not city, town or hamlet in
Georgia which is not being reached.

Opposing Purchase
 Copper River Road

The Seattle Commercial Club unani- mously adopted a resolution. which has been forwarded to President Will son, advising against the purchase. by the government of the Copper River & Northwestern railway, as announc- i'd exclusively in the Daily Times on March 10. The Bulletin, issued week. ly by that club received in yesterdays mall, contains the memorial, which is herewith repubished so that Cordo- vans may know exactly the kind of deal they are getting in Seattle:
 The Clubs National Affairs Com mitte, consisting of Messrs. w. K. Sheldon, chairman; Col. J. NJ. Hawt- horne, Edgar c. Snyder, c. A. Reyn- olds and John B. Sharett, after sev- eral months study on the question of railroad development in Alaska, has prepared a memorial to be forwarded by the Club to President Woodrow Wilson.
 The report of the committee and the memorial were placed before the Club at it's last regular session, and, upon motion, the recommendation on this subject was unanimously adopted.
 Following is the memorial we are forwarding to the President:
 gro His Excellency, Woodrow Wilson.

from the purposes, to-wit: the general development of Alaska, for which they were appropriated by Congress
 "3rd In our opinion the proposed purchase of the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad is being urged. as we are informed, by private inter ests for personal gain and not for the purposes of developing the territory, and, therefore, the proposed purchase should not even be considered unless it previously had been shown that if that railroad had no existence the route from which it runs naturally be the best and most feasible route for the development of the territory.
 "4th. We are further informed and believe that the present route runs in part over glaciers which are con stantly moving and that the expense of operating a railroad and of shifting and changing the track will be en- ormous. and, furthermore, that the route is not the best adapted for open ing up the farming, mining and general resources of the territory, but is in many respects inferior, to other routes which are now under consideration.

kATAlLA GOAL NOT
 GIVEN FAIR TEST

The Seattle Post Intelligencer con tains a write-up of our former towns man, J. B. Howard. who has returned to the Spirit City from a trip to Cali fornia and will shortly sail flor the north. Among other things 1t says:
 Mir. Howard, like other citizens of Cordova feels that the Boring river coal did not get fair test by the navy. The test was no test at all, :" he said. Seven tons of the coal that was used was fine when 1t was taken from the mine. The other 100 tons was a mixture of shale and rock from a cave-in that was hurriedly shoveled Into sacks. Then the sacks were al lowed to get and freeze solid, it being necessary to blast them apart to handle them. When the coal was resacked 1t contained a mixture of snow and gravel To cap the climax 1t was dumped of on the beach and the tide covered it several times before 1t was used. It is wonder that 1t burned at all."

 sir:
 "The Seattle Commercial club, ever alert for the promotion of the best in terests of Alaska, Is opposed to and respectfully protests against the pur- chase by the Government of the Cop per River and Northwestern Railroad for the following reasons:
 1st This Club enthusiastically supported the appropriation of the public moneys for the building by the Government of railroads in Alaska, and for the sole and only purpose of developing the vast rich, varied and undeveloped resources of that terri tory.
 "2nd. The purchase by the Govern ment of a railroad built by a private corporation. not for the purpose of de- veloping the territory, but for the purpose of hauling ore from a rich and vast deposit of copper, owned general ly, as we are informed and believe, by the same stockholders who own the railroad, and which railroad, as we are informed and believe, Is not pay in expenses of operation, in the opin- ion of this Club would be an unwar- ranted diversion of public moneys

 five round trips. narrowly escaped los
 ing his life on the last trip. Re
 counting his experience, MT. Alheidt
 writes:
 "On February 23, was travelling
 with GOO pounds of freight and six
 dogs. A storm and blizzard had been
 blowing on Rohn glacier for three days, at place known as the Rough

 was only two feet wide and on de- scending grade of about 60 degrees. walked alongside the sled in order to check its momentum down the pre- cipitous incline, when just as I came alongside I noticed where the twofoot depth of snow had a false surface and
 was drifted over. Down I went 30 feet into a glacier crevasse, dogs, sled and all tumbling on top of me, was trapped and pinned down, with not a soul within thirty miles of the place

 But I had my camp axe on the sled, but unfortunately it was lashed on the front part of the toad, some eight or nine feet from where l was pinned down. l was trapped fast; my legs being pinned hard and fast. However, I had my dog whip, a wooden stick.
 I split the dog whip handle and then spliced the handle of the dog whip .o my pocket knife; then cut the sled lashings and procured the axe. This took fully an hour

our memory Is not at fault, James T.
Walsh has resigned and last week was
succeeded by his daughter, Miss Annie
Walsh. The retiring postmaster mas
witnessed wonderful changes in Wis

has kept up with all the improvements
and steps down and out with a repu-
tation which any man should be proud
of. 1t is unnecessary to state, that
Mr.. Walsh is one of the most popular
men in the thriving village of Clyman,
His parents settled near the village in
the year 1854, when the section of the
country was practically wilderness.
While clearing and improving his farm
the fond father found it necessary to
work at construction work in the
building of the Janesville-Fon du
Lac branch of the c.. &. N. W. road
which was built through there about
a year after the senior Mr.. Walsh To-
Gated there. The retiring postmaster
for many years was employed as sta
ton agent. He has also held several
town and village offices. He has been
tried and has never been found want
ing His friends are numbered by all
who know him. Undoubtedly the fa-

COLUMBUS SHOOTING
NEARLY PROVED FATAL
MRS. CARRIE BUSH SHOOTS HER
HUSBAND WITH A 32-CALI-
BRE REVOLVER.
Near Fatality Occurred at Columbus
n Week ago Last Sunday Mr..
Bush Recovering.
columbus Democrat.)


Shortly before six o'clock on Sunday
evening, a week ago, Mrs. Carrie Bush
shot her husband, Esli Bush, through
the head with a 32-calibre revolver.
The ball penetrated nearly through
his head below the brain, and was re-
moved by Dr. Poser by making an In
cision on the opposite side of the head
from where it entered. Bush walked
from where the shooting took place, to
DR.. Poser's office and submitted to the
removal of the bullet without taking
an anaesthetic.
The shooting was the outcome of
series OF family quarrels which have
been frequent for years, and were not
in consequence of drink on his part as
he has never been drinker. We do
not believe he was ever intoxicated,
but, from reports, we do not think as
much can be said for the woman. She
has left him several times, going to
Chicago and living with her brother
there for time At another time go
Ling to the same brother in Texas for
several months, returning each time to
her husband who took her in and made
home for her. The last time she left
him she came here, claiming to want
to secure work.
Bush was born at Rio and has lived
there all his life, his parents being am
ong the best people of that commu-
nifty. They are now residents of a
small town in the interior of the state.
Elsi has always ben a quiet, industri-
Gus young man, but seemed to become
infatuated with this girl and after the
two little girls were born the ties of
home were still stronger. He was very
much adverse to his wife receiving the
lattention of other men, which is said
was frequent occurrence before she
left Rio and after coming here Bush
has been coming here several times
each week, claiming he wished to see
the children, but 1t is thought that his
IinfatuatiOn for the woman had very
strong hold on him and could not re-
lsist coming to keep male frequenters
away.
On Sunday he went to the house ana
was so enraged at what he discovered
that he smashed several windows and
Hendeavored to enter the house through
"a door. 1t is said she warned him that
she would shoot if he persisted in en-
tering and had revolver in her hand.
He pulled the hook from the screen
door and started to go into the room
when she fired, with the evident in
.tention Of killing him, no doubt from
the fact that the bullet entered his
head.
Officers took charge of both Bush
and the woman. After Dr. Poser re-
moved the bullet, Bush was taken to
the hospital where he is getting along
lfamously.
On instructions from District At
torney Rogers the woman was releas-
ed, but will be kept under surveillance
awaiting the outcome of his injuries.

Bittner Case Dismissed.

The case of the State. of Wisconsin
VS.. Fred Bittner for alleged violation
of the Sunday closing law came be-
fore Justice Rohr last Saturday morn
ing on change of venue from Jus

justice asked the complaining witness
for security for costs, which was re-

be done. Several of these late cases
have developed into something of a
