Fatal Accident

The body of Oscar Erickson was found ln a shalt of Johnson Creek ln the ChlSlna a week ago. George GoshaW, who re- turned from the interior camp two days ago brings the story
 or another tragedy of the North land. When Goshaw went into the camp about two weeks ago,
 he asked for Erickson, who was an old friend from Valdez. No one had seen him for some time but his dog was wandering a. round from camp to camp, ap- paretly without master. Go- shaw went to Erickson's camp and found cooked food moulder- ing on the table and concluded that some accident must have befallen him. He sent for help from Carl Whitham's camp and an investigation of the premises showed that shaft had been worked lately. There was about fifteen feet of water in the shaft. After several hours of baling the body was discovered. It seem ed, from the evidence, that Err ickson had started 8 fire in the

 In an interview the senator expressed himself as astounded at the resources and promise of this community. He considers this the greatest copper belt in the world, and was also delight ed with our climate conditions and prophecies great develop ment ill this section. One thing which particularly impressed him was the number of old-tirn- CTS in the community. This he said indicated stability and per manence. He also compliments ed us upon the substantial char acter of our business houses and buildings and upon the improy- ment of streets now under way.

There are small veins of Ignite coal in the nei- ghborhood and a pocket of gas from one of these is supposed to have escaped. Erickson had spent eleven years m Alaska. He was about thirty two years of age and had a father and sev- eral brothers in SanFrancisco, California. The body was bur- jed at Chisana on the 18th.

Senator Su1zer Here

Senator Charles A. Sulzer, Democratic candidate for dele gate to congress, addressed a large and enthusiastic audience in the town hall on Monday ev- ening. Senator Sulzer gave a keen logical talk on the issues of the day. As a speaker he is forceful, clear and eloquent. He dwelt largely upon the questions of enlarged powers for the ter ritorial legislature and increas- ed appropriations by the federal government for roads and trails. He also came out sqnarely upon the eight hour question saying that his experience as all opera tor proved conclusiyely that la- bors' demand for eight hours work, eight hours play and eight hours rest was just, equitable and economical. His fair and fearless stand upon5this ques- =tion won him many converts in this camp.
 Judge Wrn. O'Connor, who in troduced the speaker. spoke for a few minutes upon the nation Il issues. He pleaded for the el- ection of Senator Snlzer as an endorsement of Woodrow Will son, and read d telegram from the President which read as fol lows:
 Executive Office, Asbury Park, N. J., Sept. 15, 1916.

 During the afternoon Senator mingled freely among our citiz- ems. He was accompanied by Mrs. Sulzer and their little son, Bill. Mrs. Sulzer is a thorough Alaskan herself, having been a resident of the Territory prior to their marriage. William is a fine, sturdy native son, and he is proud of it.

A Lucky Escape

What might well have been serious accident, happened on the c. R. X N. ". By. last Sat urday. While the train was crossing the Kuskalana bridge, a mud slide at the Strelna ap- proach, overlook the last three cars, two freight cars and the passenger coach, breaking the coupling connecting them with the rest of the train and rolling them over and down the bank for fifty feet or more. A num- Der of passengers were aboard, none of whom were injured. Hurry Wilson, the conductor, was bruised and scratched up but not severely injured. Ed. Sommers, the brakeman, was chased around the baggage com partment by & hot stove and on being overtsken by the stove, re ceived slight burns The wreck ing crew was summoned and succeeded in replacing the cars on the track. in about twenty four hours, when the train pro- ceeded to MeGartlly. An exam ination of the freight in the two box cars revealed Il large quan. tity of winter underclothes, ma ckintws and other drygoods con. signed to Laurie Bros. well mix ed and mingled with new laid eggs, butter, beans, crackers and other supplies for the local stores.
 The Copper River Railroad has been very fortunate in the operation Of it's road ever since construction times. Other than a few accidents to trainmen there has been no casualties, which fact speaks well for the condit- ion of the roadbed and care of company in operation.

Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Shows Small Number
of Excess Service Cases.

long hours init ain=serrice
lave been reduced to a minimum Is
shown by report just issued from
Washington by the interstate com-
nlerct commission. Only one employee
in five on the average last year was
compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one
day in the whole year. Stated in an
other way, the chance of an engine
man or trainman remaining on duty
beyond the prescribed limit was re-
iaced to once in five years.
The total number Of cases of ex-
cess service from all causes reporlcu
to tho commission was only 61,2fI
during the year ending June 30. 1915,
as Compared with 137.439 in 1914 and
2-G.E27 in 1913, and with rare excep-
lions these represented cases recog-
nized by the commission as due 10
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are col
lected by the interstate commerce
commission under the national hours
OF FerYice law. This law. which has
been in operation for eight years,
limits to sixteen hours, the period
during which a railroad may permit
m employe to remain on duty, except
for actually unavoidable causes. Every
time train is so delayed by bliz-
Yard. washout or other cause that any
part OF the train crew is on duty lpng-
CIR Than sixteen hours the railroad
company must report the occurrence
to the commission, giving tho Lames
Ct the individual employees concerned
and n full statement of the cause for
the cGcess service.
For several years the railroads and
the interstate commerce commission
have been cooperating in efforts to
prevent the keeping of employees on
duty for long periods. The reduction
OF nearly eighty per cent in such
cases which has been brought about
in about three years shows that the
working of men for long stretches Of
continuous service has practically
disappeared except in rare cases OF
unavoidable delay.

OLD MAIDS ARE
ON TRAIL Of
GOVERNOR
Take Advantage of Leap Year
and Suggest That Oklahoma
Executive Take a Bride.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Mar i.-Gover-
nor Williams Is the man about whom
centers the latest gossip. 1t has TO
do with cupid.
Rumor has had II every time tho
governor left Oklahoma City for his
farm at Durant that he would return
with a "bIushing bride" on his arm.
He has gone and returned several
times but tn date the blushIng bride
has failed to put in her appearance.
Now 1t seems that the governor is
to be allowed his choice Of some fifty
different prospective brides.
The proposal OF marriage came as
4 result Of a speech made by the gov
ernor at the MuskOgee state fair on
October 8. 1915.
How It All Started.
Mr.. Williams said, among other
thingS. in an address on the modern
educational system, that he thought
some one besides old maids should be
hired TO teach domestic science 10 the
rising feminine generation.
What do old maids know about
washing and dressing babies or cook
ing Il steak so that II Is lit to eat?" he
inquired in laundering tones.
There were, OF course, several old
maids in his audience. They took of
Tense at the manner in which he be-
ncaned their tribe. so when they re-
turned to the Union Indian agency
where the fifty or so old maids pre-
Ylously mentioned are employed
they put their respective young, med
lumly young. moderately old and, er-
=clderly-heads together and concocted
singing letter. This they gave to
j. w Denaford, manager of a type
writer company's branch house here,
with instructions TO present 1t to Mr..
Williams.
Densford. in true man style, forgot
all about the letter until after his re-
turn here from n business trip to New
York City last week. Then he gave
1t 10 the governor.
Letter TO Governor.
The letter to the governor is as fol-
lows:
"His Excellency, r. L. Williams,
governor of Oklahoma.-Sir: We, the
following ladies of Muskogee, having
arrived at sufficient age OF maturity
to be classcd by unkind fate as odd
maids do solemnly but vigorously
protest against the sentiment ex-
pressed by you in your speech at the
Niuskogee fair on October 8. 1915.
"Of all the gallant gentlemen in
the great state Of Oklahoma YOU
above all others-should be our pro-
tector, and n guide to all men. With
out having done your part to alleviate
the condition OF which you complain.
we submit, governor. that 1t is I'M
kind and unjust for you to charge us
with lack or experience and training
so necessary to the proper fulfillment
of household duties.
"Ry reason of your exalted position
as governor OF the great state Of Okla
homa. you should set an example that
all men of the age of q years or more
would Immediately emulate, and as
an encouragement. we respectfully
submit ourselves as willing to assist
you in any manner possible to over
come this deplorable condition. De-
votedly yours.
"OLD MAIDS OF UNION AGENCY,
"Muskogee, Okla"
The governor read the letter care
fully and requested Mrs. Densford to
secure him the names of It's authors
that he might make an answer. Thus
cupid breaks into the story.
