Now that the Democrats of Alaska
see an opportunity of getting on the
federal payroll, there is considerable
activity being shown for the plums in
sight There are six hold-over Re-
publican postmasters in the territory,
who have been practically forced to
resign on account of the questionable
methods adopted by the Department
to "clear the decks" for hungry
Democrats. The mere matter of de-
moralizing the service was of little
Importance, when it was found neces-
sary to get rid of the Republicans,
and Inspector Neil was evidently the
willing tool to do the dirty work.
Realizing that the Republicans in
the States are getting together for
the purpose of electing the next
President of the United States, the
members of the G. o. P. feel that
they, too, should present a united
front so that the next Delegate to
Congress will be a member of their
faith. In a recent issue of the Fair
banks News-Miner appears the fol-
lowing plea for harmony:
ut is the prevailing opinion here
that the members of the Republican
party and the various Republican
clubs which should be, and will be,
formed throughout the territory,
should vote for whom they please in
the primaries just as long as the
man they vote for and the voters
themselves subscribe to the Republi-
can principles and indicate their
good faith. If such method is
adopted throughout the territory it
is the belief of the Republicans here
that the man named at he primaries,
and accepting the nomination at the
hands of the territorial convention,
will be the successful candidate for
delegate from Alaska at the next
convention"

WILL EXTRAD|TE
KRAUSE FOR
MURDER

SEATTLE, Nov. "a. = Edward
Krause, the man wanted in juneau
on a charge of kidnapping William
Christie, was released today on a
writ of habeas corpus. Krause was
arrested when he got off the Jeffer-
son here last week, and has been in
custody ever since. He was at once
rearrested as a fugitive from Justice
from Alaska, extradition papers from
Governor Strong at Juneau being on
their way by mail, addressed to the
governor of Washington. The ex-
tradition papers change the charge
against Krause from kidnapping to
murder of Christie, and on being
honored will cause the removal of
Krause for trial in Alaska.

DANGER IN CLOSE ALLIANCES
Investigation Has Shown That Cancer
Is Most Probable When Cousins
Are Welded.

Speaking of the possible hereditary
tendency to cancer, DR.. Charles b
Davenport of the eugenics laboratry
at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y, says
of the fact that the incidence of cancer
is highest in Maine: Il have no doubt
that this is due to the presence of one
Or more races in Maine which are nom
immune to cancer"
Doctor Davenport's studies indicate
that resistance to cancer is a positive
(dominant) trait and that nonresist-
ance appears in children only when
both parents belong to a nonresistant
race. And this result is commonest,
other things being equal, where cousin
marriages are commonest, because
that makes it probable that is one
parent belongs to cancer race, the
other-the cousin-will belong to the
same cancer race. Now, in rural
Maine cousin marriages are extremely
frequent, especially in the islands or
the coast, and here we have the con-
ditions for the result-the high incl
dence of numbers of the cancer race
in an inbred community"

A small flock of from twenty-five to

at little expense. 1t will, if given a
chance, clean the fields of weeds, pro-

A strong, vigorous, purebred ram

able should have straight backs and

one pair of permanent front teeth
when one year old, two pairs when
two years old. A eve with full

lost, nor worn down, the eve may be

A small flock of ewes can often be
pastured during the winter on wheat
or rye field The best roughage for
sheep is clover or alfalfa hay and a
few roots. If clover is not available,
however, corn fodder supplemented
with a little bran or linseed meal is
sufficient. AS soon as the lambs are
old enough to eat, give them a little
cracked corn where the ewes cannot
get it.
A fence that has been used success
fully by the United States Forest
service in protecting sheep from coy
otes is recommended. This fence is
built as follows: A strand of barbed
wire is stapled to posts at the sur
face of the ground; three inches above
this is placed 30-inch strip of close
woven wire fencing, and above this
are stretched two strands of barbed
wire
If sheep free from stomach worms
are secured, little trouble will be caus-
ed by these pests. The worms are
small round whitish worms that infest
the stomachs of the sheep. The lambs
become infested by eating grass on
which the young worms have craWled.
1t is recommended therefore, that the
lambs be placed on pastures that have
not been occupied by mature sheep.
