Senator Lodge Prophesaee.
 (Boston pogh.1

Senator Lodge, returning to wa ington and getting up steam for \ years elections, makes a propll that the republican presidential t3d will carry Massachusetts by "fl 75, ,0oO to 100000" Which is d siderable prophecy.
 Let's see!
 Governor-elect Mccall, in th parts, is the greatest vote-Retter the republican ranks, with the possi exception of Justice Hughes. (l Justice Hughes has positively refu to be a presidential candidate.)
 MT. Mccall defeated Cover Walsh by considerably less than q, plurality. A change of lesn tI $500 votes would have defeated l Call and reelected Walsh.
 Wonderfully popular as Cover Walsh personally is, he would compare with President Wilson a, Note-getter under conditions prev, ing in recent months. Presid Wilson has greater republican and dependent following in Massachust today than any other living democr
 So here is Senator Lodges pr, lem. If he intends to make good that prophecy of his:
 He must take g. less popular m than MT. Mccall to oppose a m, popular man than MT. Walsh--a then he says he's going to roll from 75,000 to 100000 plurality"

Three Men in g Picture. (Bridgeport Telegram

In a group photograph recently ar rived in the editors mail, are three men, all past middle life. The pho- tograph is an informal one and has apparently caught these men in a natural attitude and with natural eX- pressions, not camera faces. A char acter student, analysing this photo graph would be struck by the simi- larity in this trio of faces. Two of the men have white hair; the third has white, tinged with iron gray. All of the faces are healthy looking, but lean and clean cut, apparent evidence of a clean life and a hard working one. All three men have light, deep set, dreamy eyes, and wide mouths, and over the face of each plays smile, friendly, humorous, quizzical and kindly. Here are three fine clergymen," one would say, gather ed to compare notes of their charges. We know, by the frank, open, sunny expression of their faces, that they are devotees of the simple life. They probably have country parishes and eke out scanty salary, while deaI- ing out kindliness and good cheer to their parishioners'
 The practical man-emphasis on the practical-would look at the picture in some scorn. Those men, he would say Cor perhaps he would say them guysD wont amount to much. Too dreamy. No foresight. ' ook at their faces, all of them one thousand miles away in the clouds somewhere. Son. ny, when you see a man with a face Ike that, keep away from his. He's dreamer. He'll never make a

ROMANTIC WEDDING
 ENDS IN DIVORCE

romantic marriage on the high seas, following an equally romantic wooing of eight days duration, was dissolved at Seattle in the superior court when Judge kaIston granted Mrs. Dorothy Esmond, or Nome, de- cree of divorce from Dr. Henry Els mond. of Seattle.
 Mrs Esmond met the doctor on board the steamer Senator while she was on her way to Nome. The doc tor told her he was the son of a Hin du princess and the Earl of Powes, of England, says Mrs. Esmond in her complaint. On November 2, 1913, eight days after the couple had first met the captain of the Senator made them man and wife, just as the yes. sel was dropping anchor off Nome. Dr. Esmond was on his way ta the Pribilof islands to take position un der the United States government Among other things, said Mrs. Els modn, he told her he had been deco rated with the Victoria cross for gal lantry in service with the British ar my.
 After they had been married

J. A. Moore, special agent of the United States land office, who was re gently in Cordova for about a week, is now at Anchorage, representing the department there. Lieuteant Mears, Mears, of the Alaska Engineering Commission, is quoted as saying some time ago that he would have to await the action of the land department be- fore deciding on action with respect to the location of the squatters over there, and it is now to be assumed that Mir, Moore himself declares that all he knows is that he has been sent to look into conditions and will be guided by directions from the depart ment At present he knows of no business that he will be asked to trans act around that immediate neighbor- hood and his attention will probably be devoted entirely to the country at the head of Cook Inlet Mir Moore Is attached to the land office at June au.

IMPROVING FLEET
 OF ALASKA 5. $. CO.

The freighter Seward, belonging to the Alaska Steamship Company, has recently come off the dry docks. There was a big demand for this and other large freighters for charter in the trans-Pacifc trade, but owing to increased activity in Alaska, it may be that all of the vessels of the company ~ill be needed to handle that busi- ness.
 The new steamship Redondo has just completed her first round trip to Al aska, going into Boring Sea for the purpose of taking supplies to the new cannery being established there in Nelson Lagoon, by the Pacific Am erican Fisheries Company. The trip was very successful and she was un- der the command of Capt. Jerry Flynn The Redondo by this trip established new record in being the first steam ship to enter Boring Sea at such an early date, the month of May here tofore being the earliest in which a vessel has entered these waters. The Redondo has proved a great success and will fit in very nicely for the sum- mer campaign. Just as soon as the rush is over the Cordova and the Re dondo will be built up with flush deck similar to the work completed last year on the Seward and Latouche. This work will greatly increase the under deck cargo space. The work will be completed next fall.
 The steamship Victoria will be on her regular run to Nome during the summer The Cordova will be dis patched to Kotzebue Sound and the Latouche to St. Michael.

READY TO START WORK LIGHT
 STATION

Everything is now in readiness to begin the work of constructing the light station at Cape St Elias. Su- perintendedt Tinkham has been at Katalla for the past two weeks or. ganizing his crews and arranging for the transportation of the material zand supplies from some point on Con- troller bay to the south end of Kay ak island, where the station will be erected on a shelf about 50 feet a. boye the sea level. According to the plans, the tower is square and supports a cast iron watch room and second order lantern whose focal plane Is 40 feet above the base of the structure, and 90 feet above the sea level. The tower rises above the roof of the fog signal building from one of it's ends. On a terrace east and north of the building are located the cooling tanks for the en- zines, the fuel oil and Illuminating oil tanks, cisterns, the dwellings with quarters for three keepers (men only). and the boat and hoisting engine house, with inclined railway to the sea level. There is a system of roads, tracks, sewers. drains. etc. H. bout the buildings, which are to be of reinforced concrete and hollow ter.
 cotta tile where the latter is prac- ticable. The Illuminating apparatus has been ordered. It consists of a three-mantle lamp in a third order double-fashing lens of 1SO.OOO candle power, the range, due to its elevation, being l5R nautical miles. The metal work for the watchroom and lantern is nearing completion at Kenton, O.. and will be exhibited at San Francis co, with the Illuminating apparatus, if practicable, about June 1. The fog signal will consist of a six-inch auto. matic compressed air siren, in dupli- cate, each with trumpet with a two way mouth. All this machinery has been ordered and will be exhibited at San Francisco.
 The characteristic of the light is a double white flash every twenty seconds. That of the fog signal is q double blast of four seconds each every minute.

Refused $500 per Acre.

Iver Benson, who lives in Orleans
township, on one of the best quarter
section farms in that neighborhood, had
an experience with land agent last
week that nearly took his breath away.
One morning well dressed man came
along in buggy and began taking in
surance. As. Benson had all the in.
surance Necessary he was not interested.
Finally the stranger asked price of
land in that section. Mr.. Benson told
him that it ranged from $125 to 5000
but he had not heard of any sales at
the last figures. The stranger looked
over the buildings and then asked Mr..
Benson if he would take $500 for his
quarter section farm. Without think
ing him serious Mr.. Benson said he
would. The stranger drew out a check
book and wrote check for 500 and
said he would take it and "here was
the money to bind the bargain, - Mr..
Benson was so surprised he could
scarcely speak for a moment, and then
backing up said, ''You better keep
Jour check and l will keep my farm. !"
Mr.. Benson was wise. .-Decorah Re-

Live Stock Increase in Iowa.

The reports of the county auditors to
the state auditor on property for tax
alton confirm the statistics obtained by
the government to the effect that live
stock is increasing in Iowa. While

BILE that the value of the horses will be
raised by the council this year as will
also be the case on other classes of live
stock which fall below the adjusted
values of last year.
The number of all cattle reported
totals 1888, s2l as against 2,9O4, 1876 in
1914, with this years actual value

Sheep as reported by the assessors
total SCI, $50 this year as against 773,-
324 last year. They are valued this
year at So. l44,721 as against, 50, $685.
