WILL INTRODUCE STATEHOOD
 BILL MARCH 30.

Delegate James Wickersham an nounces that he will. on March 30. the of the signing of the treaty by which title to Alaska was transferred from Russia to the United States, introduce his promised bill granting statehood to Alaska.
 Delegate Wickersham also an nounces that he is opposed to the ad- bill providing for a closed season for halibut in December and January. and for a sanctuary for breeding purposes for that species of fish. The bill was prepared by the department of commerce and intro duced in the Senate by Charles P. Johnson, of Maine. Delegate Wicker sham says that he sympathizes with the purpose of the bill. but that he objects to the proposed measure on the ground that the legislation pro posed is not sufficient.

BOOSTERS BUSY BEHALF THIS TERRITORY

More than ten score members of Congress. including 150 representa- lives and 60 senators, have responded, nearly all of them favorably, to a cam paign being waged in behalf of Alas kan legislation by the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. The lawmakers who have been heard from represent all sections of the country, extending from the Pacific coast to New England, and from the Canadian border to the Mexican iron tier and they are members of all po- Htical parties. The pressure being brought to bear on congressman is iron, their own constituents.
 The legislation asked for by the AL aska bureau includes appropriations for the rapid prosecution of construc- ton on the government railroad, wag- on and automobile roads and trails, for g capitol building, aids to naviga- tion, the prosecution of the work of surveying and charting Alaskan waters and other purposes. It also includes legislation opening the coal land, es- tablishing a development board and other things.
 The method of procedure was to get the business men and others of Seat tie to write letters to their most in fluential correspondents, asking these to write to their senators and repre- sentatlves asking them to support the proposed legislation. The usual way and the most prolific in results has been to get the Seattle jobbers and retailers to show the manufacturers and importers how the development of Alaska would enlarge their markets. It was shown that already the com merce with Alaska exceeds that With China by $15,000,000 a year, and is 20 Der cent as great as the total South American trade The response was quick and satisfactory. The business interests of the country saw the point. and thousands of letters have been pouring into the national legislators at Washington from all points of the compass.

The effect of the campaign is not only noticeable in Washington, but it's effect throughout the country has been testified to by thousands of let ters received by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and Seattle business men. Manufacturers were made to realize how important is the point Alaska is playing in American com merce, and how much greater are the possibilities of America's great north ern empire.
 Seattle business men sent out more than 6,0OO letters in this campaign, within two weeks in January. They were mailed by the Alaska bureau.

THE GREEsNSBOROS

Remember the exhibit game of bas-
ket ball to be played IN the town hall
Saturday evening between the two
girls teams from Craftsbury acad-
envy. The entire net proceeds of this
game will go TO the Village Improve
ment club.
There will be community Christ
mas tree and concert on Friday eve
ming, Dec. %, in the town hall, to

tees are at work on the program in
this village and it is expected that
many of the outlying school districts
will present parts of the program.
The moving picture theatre which

Torrance for the winter Saturday

ture has not been very successful
here and it is doubtful whether the
business will be continued again next
spring.
The C. E. society of the Congrega-

sistant, Miss Estella Goodrich.
The Caspian Lake Basket Ball
team of this place played the high
school team of Hardwick Friday eve
ming and we're badly beaten. 1t was
hardly a fair deal for the local team
for although it was understood that
the Hardwick boys would be the sec
| ond team from the high school, they
saw fit to ignore their agreement
| and sent up the first team. The local
boys should have refused to play.
The Hardwick boys were further aid
ed by the unfair decisions of the Of
fetal they brought with them.
The Caspian Lake Grange held its
annual meeting Thursday evening of

The extension school for farmers
and their wives was held in the
Grange hall every day but Saturday
during last week with good attend
ance. The women made a better
record of attendance than the men.
Records were taken of the expense
and income of ten farms in this VIC
unity. On Wednesday nine loaves of
bread were brought in by the ladies
of the vicinity and were judged by the
teachers of the women's division and
the prize for the best loaf of bread
was given Mrs. c. III. Miller. A Ii
brary of eight books along the line of
home economics, has been placed in
the Congregational parsonage to be
circulated among the women of the
vicinity for the coming month. This
extension school was a success in
every way. except in the matter of at
tendance, which although good was
far below what it should have been.
1t you were not present most of the
sessions you missed much in the way
of helpful instruction.
