is stopped, someone IS likely 10 start

 IN THIS DIVISION

W. r. Lopp. superintendent of Edu- cation for Alaska, and the man who has full charge of the reindeer herds, returned from a visit to the west ward on the Alameda last night and will remain here for several days looking after school matters in this division.

ANOTHER 'SILENT SPEEGH' IS N0W
 IN CIRCULATION

The Wlekersnam party ls putting another "silent speech" in eircula. tion and palmna it off as a "speeeh' deliveced In the House Of Represen- tatives by Delegate James Wicker sham.
 The circular containing the speech has a headline just like the regular c Congressional Record, and the head ing Of the speech" is just like the headings usually carried in the Con uressional Record over the speeches Of Congressman actually delivered in Congress. lt reads: Trade and Commerce and Transportation Rates in Alaska; Speech of Hon. James Wiekershsm, of Alaska n the House of Representatives, Tuesday, August IS, 1916."
 The fact is that the speech was never delivered in the House of Rep resentatives or elsewhere in Wash inqton or any other place. The real Congressional c Record of August IS, fst6. shows that several members of Congress asked "unanimous con sent to extend remarks in the Rec crd,' and it was granted. In the appendix of the Record for that date appears the silent speech" not as it appears in the circular that is be- ina distributed to Alaska voters, but under the heading extension of re- marks" of Hon. James Wiekersham, under unanimous consent"
 In other words, as the cidcular is presented to the voters os Alaska it is a palpable fraud. lt was written by Delegate Wiekersham in the sec reey of his office, and smusged inc to Che Record under the "leave to print" rule. and palmed off on the voters of Alaska as a "epeech" in the House of Representatives.

 Although MT. Christian did not fix any exact date for their return. he expected that Mrs. Christian would be able to travel by the latter part of the month, and it is likely that they will leave st. Louis for Juneau shortly

asked the Mayor. Brought it from
Point Marion. bought four quarts
last Friday but 1 did not bring it on
a train" The Mayor desired to know
whether 1t was brought to the city in
an auto or in a boat.
The story that Routzohn tells is
that he roue Shank's mare between
Point Marion and Fairmont. AS he and
SO others tried to get onto a Baltl'
more and Ohio train at Point Marion
Friday night with labeled suitcases,
they were told that the liquor would
be confiscated. Routzohn did not wish
to ride anyhow. -so&.he. took k---ncross
the country Weston style.
The walk between Point Marion and
Fairmont is but % miles or so along
the pike. Routzohn started ut o.
clock at night and at 6 o'clock next
morning was almost in Kingwood, 40
miles out Of his way. After being put
