BABY BURNED
Homesteaders's House Destroyed b!
Fire-Baby Girl Burned
TO Death.

Watauga, Jan. 5.-While H. j.
Dreckman, a homesteader near Wau-
tauga, was away from home. the
farm house caught fire, and was soon
a mass of flames. Mrs. Dreckman
was out of the house at the time, but
fastened to the building when she
saw flames emerging from a window
and seizing the baby, an infant. in
her arms, gathered the other children
about her and hurried them from the
house. She then found that little
Marie, aged 2, was not with the 9TH
ers. The child was still in bed.
asleep, and though the mother made
desperate efforts to effect an entrance
to the burning building to rescue the
child, she vas unable to do so and
the little one persisted. There were
six children in the family, all under
IL years of age, including the one
who vas burned to death.

GRAND CROPS PROMISED

Joel L. Priest, general agent for the
Oregon Short Line, has returned from
trip which took him through the
country along the line north of Poca-
tello, says the Boise Statesman. He
was amazed by the showing that the
dry farmers are making in that ter
ritory. jim Webster, has one field
of 5000 acres of winter wheat that is
just heading out, which gives promise
of yielding not less than 35 bushels
to the acre. 1t is IL miles around,
with cross fence, and one Of the
prettiest sights imaginable.
The Blackfoot land office, said Mr..
Priest, is doing the biggest business of
any office in the country. Since jan
uary 1st filings have been made on
Ala, 900 acres of homestead land in
Bingham, Bonneville, Fremont and
Jefferson counties, under the enlarged
homestead law. The average holding
is 200 acres, which means 1870 fami-
lies on land that has hitherto pro-
duced nothing but sagebrush.
The spring rains have supplied an
abundance of moisture for the dry
farms, and the crops are delight to
behold.

NEWS EXCHANGE
LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. G., June 80. -
That President Wilson has no intention
Of going outside of his present official
family to find successor to William
Jennings Bryan as Secretary of State,
SENS to be the general impression here.
The principal reason is said to be the
desire of the president to get man al
ready in touch with the various inter
national problems facing the admins
tration.
Robert Lansing, Secretary Of State ad
interim, is known to have the support
Of several cabinet members, and it is
believed that he is almost certain to
be given the appointment. Although
not resembling Abraham Lincoln in ply
steal appearance to even a remote de-
gree, he has much the personality of
the emancipation. He has the war presi
dents ability always to keep his tenn
per, to speak his mind instantly in any
simple, homely, but correct English,
to withhold information without being
troubled or embarrassed, and to main.
tain serene, judicious mind while
around, is hurrying and shouting and
the whole world SENS about to plunge
into ruin.
State department officials do not ex-
pect reply from Germany to the presi-
dents recent note on Germany's sub
marine warfare until about July 10th.
This expectation is based, not on any
official estimate from Berlin, but on re-
ports which deal with the engagements
of the Kaiser, who it is understood de-
sires personally to indicate what the
reply shall contain.
The war department has completed
estimates of the cost of the first year
of Mexican intervention, in the event
that President Wilson, in order to re-
store order south of the Rio Grande,
sends an American army into that coun-
try. The estimates are for one year and
are figured on the basis of an army of
100000 men. The estimated cost Of
the intervention for the first year is
said to be fully $S00,O0O0OO.
To persons here who are most closely
watching the Mexican situation and
who have first hand information az to
conditions as to leaders there, the
brightest spot appears to be the APP
parent disintegration Of the two strong
factions headed by Carranza and Villa.
A movement, backed by group of men
now exiled from Mexico and on whom
the president believed he could depend
when, in his last Mexican pronounce
ment he threatened to get behind man
or group of men to restore order, is
expected ultimately to re-establish
peace.

THE COLLEGE PROJECT.

Delegate Wickersham is deter
mined to promote the building of
an agricultural college and school
of mines, as authorized for Fair
banks by congress. but unless he
can stir up enough public support
but little can be accomplished.
Without concentration of effort
community, like an individual, can
never accomplish anything worth
while The building of an agricul-
tural college has nothing to do with
any kind of political or other fac
tional issue, and therefore every
man, woman and child who is in
and of Alaska in general should
cooperate in this effort to estab-
lish here a college, which will be
supported by the government as
soon as the Territory eects the
necessary buildings
When agricultural colleges were
constructed III territories IN lHe
past, they have not, it is understood
had lands allotted to their support
as has been done in Alaska. The
bill passed by congress in its clos
ing hours provides that if the sec
tions set aside for the proposed agri
cultural college contain coal, the
school shall have the profits from
the mines which would otherwise
be due the government, and the
same applies to gold-bearing lands.
But the school need not rely upon
such lands for revenues, for the
general laws of the country provide
for an annual appropriation of $780,
900, to be used in maintaining each
agricultural college. OF course the
large institutions of that kind have
much larger incomes. but every one
OF them gets the general appropria-
ton OF $4,000 a year

PROMOTING PEACE.

one OF the strongest peace advo-
Starr Jordan, chancellor of Leland
Stanford, Jr. university, and one of
the leading educators of our age.
He declares that this idea of pre-
pairing for war in time of peace has
a tendency to bring about war, and
he thinks that the less we talk
of possible war, the more we can
expect continued peace.
DR.. Jordan wants our present sys-
TEN to be reversed. and instead Of
our maintaining general army
staff he wants the United States
to have general peace staff
whose duties will be to adjust the
differences that may arise between
this nation and another. In other
words, as he expresses it. the peace
staff would be employed taking the
chips off Uncle Sans shoulders"
In regard to the arguments that
this nation should be prepared for
war Dr.. Jordan says:
That preparedness for war is as
surance for peace is a sophistry no
less speciOus than insulting to the
intelligence of civilization. To have
peace, We must cease to discuss
our differences with other nations
in terms of war"
DR.. Jordan is appealing to the
thinking class of people Of our
country and he is doing much to
counteract the war sentiment that
is being preached by Theodore Roose-
welt At heart civilized people are
not warriors, for they do not take
should be paid in the adjustment
of differences between nations >.
war comes, the people will support
it, because they are patriotic first
and diplomatic afterward But the
energies of the nation should be di
rected toward preventing compiled
lions and in settling unavoidable dill
ferences by peaceable means. 1t is
safe to assert that there are more
people backing Dr. Jordans views
than are advocates of Roosevelt
war policies.

ALASKA EXCURSIONS.

Regular excursions will be run
into the Interior of Alaska this
summer for the first time in the
history of the Territory. If reports
be correct. there will be large
number of people on these excur-
sions, and as a beginning they
will be a decided success.
Hidden away throughout the In
terror of this great Territory are
many things far more interesting
10 the nature lover than can be
found in trip to the old countries
of Europe. and it may be assumed
beyond any doubt that every year
increase. as the beauties and rare
features of the country become more
and more widely advertised
When the railroad is completed.
the excursions may be a feature of
winter travel as well as summer,
for then people may come here with
but little personal discomfort and
enjoy the novelty of the short days
and the beauties of the Northern
lights.
People with money to spend are
always looking for some novel ex-
perience. Expense to that class of
people is of but little concern, and
after they have seen other places
of interest in our own land, they
will turn their attention to the re-
mote places where natures wonders
are to be found. These people can
easily be induced to come to Alaska,
when they are convinced concerning
what can be seen in trip here.
One of the big attractions Of the
midsummer excursion is the mid
night sun, and, too, the tourist will
enjoy the boast upon returning to
his home that he has crossed within
the frigid zone, north of the Arctic
circle.
Alaska's mountain ranges are con-
coded to be the equal in scenic
grandeur Of the Alps of Switzerland
and Northern Italy. Mount Mckinley
is the highest mountain on the con-
tinert and it has already gained a
place in travel literature. These
great mountains and their wonder
full glaciers may become the object
Of interest in time to the tourists
OF the entire world.
Undoubtedly the excursion plan is
a good one, and now that the Eu-
ropean war has shut the door to
| American tourists in the old world,
1t is certainly proper time to in
duce them to come here.
The Alaska citizen. (Fairbanks, Alaska) 1910-1917, 1915-06-07

l. - .......t... however, by Law
that the government will not pat
up the buildings for the agricultural
colleges. but that this must be done
by the respective states and terri
tories. The preliminary buildings
for the Fairbanks school need not
be extensive. for at the start il
may be expected that the school
will be small. Then, as time de
velops the school. it can be enlarged
to meet the demands to be made
upon it.
II the people here cooperate with
Mr. Wickersham. the next session
of the Legislature can certainly be
induced To appropriate money for
the school buildings that will be
necessary to start the school By
that time the government railroad
will be nearing completion. and the
Interior should be increasing in pop.
ulation very rapidly The demand
for school of that nature will be
more apparent then than now, and
II is quite certain that it will be
but few years until students will
flock here from all parts of the ter
ritory to the young institution of
higher learning

Collins May Fill
Governor S Chair

If the Republican party wins the
national election of 1916, E. B. Col
Inns, of Fox. speaker of the house
of representatives in the territorial
legislature, will be a candidate for
gubernatorial honors, or such is the
announcement recently made. In
terviewed on the subject, MI Collins
stated that he is not averse to tax
ing the position if he can secure
it, saying further that the idea was
first suggested to him by his num-
erous friends on the coast.
The speaker, however thinks that
the announcement of his candidacy
IS premature He is of the opinion
that the Republican party will win
the election in 1916 and is ready to
be groomed for the position by his
friends. and says that since the ru-
NOR is afloat it might as we'll be
confirmed.
Mr.. Collins has served two terms
as speaker of the house of repre-
sentatiyes, having been elected to
that position by his colleagues of
the first Legislature. He is thor
ough Alaskan, having resided in the
Fairbanks district for the past ten
years.
