DEMOCRATS MAY DISCARD GOOD
 NATURE ALSO

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. - Repre- sentative Claude Kitchen, Democratic House leader served notice that Democrats would not In the future be as gentle as they have been in the past with the feelings of "the bitter Republican partisans who resent the idea that none but Republicans are 1t to control the affairs of the na- tion. and who continue to give eX- pressions to their anger because of Democratic control. He said that there Is class of Republicans in the country who 'hGlte Democrats, and actually recent their assumption of the right to be called Americana" He said that on account of their long lease of power they had "arrogated to themselves the sole right to be regarded as loyal and to exercise rights as Americans" He said that
 ocasocrata. -poslUly urcuu1r tucy had been in the minority SO long, had become so considerate of the feelings of Republicans that they had all but apologized for their recent victories whenever partisanship WAS under discussion" He said that three years of Che best government the country has had 10 recent times. and Q Congressional record such as no party had ever made gave the Democrats the right to 'rcsent the slurs of the bitter partiaans who never miss an opportunity to exhibit their il.natured resentment of the hardihood of Democrats who dared to speak as if they wero interested In the welfare of the country"

 APPRECIATIVE OF
 COL. RICHARDSON

The Valdez Commercial Associa- ton. an organization of business men. has endorsed the work Of the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners. and Col. w. P Richardson, its president. It also urges an appropriation of s400,. 900 for the completion of the coast to Fairbanks automobile road.
 The resolutions. which were passed unanimously are assfollows;
 Rneolved. That the Valdez Com mercial Association respectc,uiy TO- quests congress to appropriate S400- 900 for improvement of the Valdez Fairbanks road in the year 1916. as recommended by Col. W. P. Richard son for road work In Alaska in 1916.
 During the eleven years of it's ex. istence the Alaska Road Commission has constructed an extensive system Of roads and trails in Alaska, all of which have been highly useful In aiding the development of the terri tory and in reducing the cost of transportation of all kinds.
 The road from Valdez to Fairbanks 37O miles In length, connecting the seacoast with the Panama valley, Is the most important achievement Of the road commission Work began on this road in 1905. The route then lay through a wilderness Much of the construction has been difficult and expensive and has required great engineering and mechanical skill. In 1913 automobiles ran over the entire length of this road Further improve ments enabled stage automobiles to operate over it throughout the sum- mer of 1915. A considerable tonnage of freight Is also carried over the road, both summer and winter.
 The Valdez Commercial Association desires to record it's appreciation of the services of the Alaska road com mission The work of the commis- sion has been characterized by in- telllgence and fedellty from the be- ginning Credit for this is largely duo to Col. Richardson, who, as presl. dent and executive head of the com mission since it was created, has made general direction of its busi' ness, but recognition should also be given to numerous able assistants. Col. Richardson and the commission are held in high esteem by all re. sponsible men in the territory, and be it further
 Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be forwarded to the Secre- tary of War, Col. Richardson, The Governor of Alaska and the Delegate to Congress from Alaska.

KETcHIKAN GETS BACKING IN FIGHT
 FOR FISH TRADE


 The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee to investigate the hali. but fishing conditions. and to make recommendation regarding the legis- lation and regulations that might be required to keep the fishing trade in Alaska. The members of the com mittee are as follows: J. c. Ford, T. J. German, James A. Haight. Maur- ice D. Leehey and J. l.. McPherson.
 The appointment of the committee was the result of a meeting at which J. J. Daly. F. c. Strong and J. C.. Barber. Of Ketchikan. addressed the members or the Alaska Bureau with reference to the loss of great deal of the fishing trade by American towns to Prince Rupert.
 II. C.Strong, speaking before the meeting said:
 ''lf American fishermen are com. pelled to land their halibut at Ketchi- kan, the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad will send to that city for It's ship ments. Ketchikan fishermen will then benefit because the fishermen will buy their ice boxes and outfits at Ketchikan. They are now doing this in Prince Rupar., and S1OOO,OO0 per year goes to that port from Ameri- can fishermen"
 J. c. Barber said that the hallbul business could not be held in Seattle any longer because the halibut banks are so far away, but that it might be centered in Ketchikan by proper legis. lation and the restoration of the duty Most Of tho fishing boats going out clear from Ketchikan now, he said.
 T. J. German expressed a1 his opin- ion that if terminal rates wee grant ed to Ketchikan by the American rail roads and Alaska-Seattie vessels equipped with refriserating facilities ketchikan could hold tho halibut in ] dustry.
