 FOR CONVENTION
Democratic Committee Names May "A as Date for Nominating Cam
 didates to Represent Party.

The Democratic Territorial com mittee met thv afternoon in the of flee of George J. Love and selected Juneau, May "A, as the place and time for holding the territorial con- vention.
 The committee was fully represent ed, either in person or by proxy, and there appeared to be some diversity of opinion among the members as to the place for holding the convention. Juneau, Seward, Ketchikan and Fair banks were among the cities advo- cated, and a number of ballots were taken before Juneau was finally se- lected.
 The date chosen. May "A, was deemed by the committee favorable for permitting delegates from the most distant of the outlying districts to reach the convention city, and at the same time far enough in advance of the national convention to permit of the delegates chosen at the con- vention to reach St. Louis before the national convention convenes.

saw the fungus in the air, and he jared the village croakers, stirred them up to hump along, till the place was full of jokers and the breeze was full of song. Citizens 'forsook, the habit of bewailing this and that, and the timid business rabbit hustled like a tiger cat, and they all turned in ker- whooping, singing forth the ham let's praise, and that hamlet, lately dropping, filled it's neighbors with amaze. Now, this story, true as preaching, shows what one lone man can do, if instead of doleful screech- ing, he yells "cockadoodledoo!" For you stimulate your neighbors every time you give three cheers, and the harvest of your labors will be reaped in coming years.-Walt Mason.

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.

AS reluctant as some of us may be to acknowledge it, we might as well frankly admit the fact that our neigh boring town of Seward can no longer be placed in the category of friends of Anchorage. On the contrary the undisguised effort on the part of the newspapers of that town, and we 'as- sume that they very largely represent public opinion there, to discredit the harborage fa....les at Anchorage by magnifying the ice conditions in Knik arm serve to convince the most reluctant of us that there is deep design on the part of Seward to seek to injure and malign this town.
 And the harbor facilities is not the only subject that is discussed with evident glee with respect to Anchor age, which one of the newspapers de- cIares to be a government pet, or words to that effect. In the matter of bootlegging in Anchorage, the Seward papers make much more out of this unimportant incident in local affairs than any 4-s,-..mate neWs-gath- ering warrants There has been bootlegging in Anchorage. For this infraction of tn. .aw a.out twenty persons found guilty have paid a heavy penalty. But liquor is not cas- ily procurable in this town, because the editor of this newspaper sought to beg, borrow, or steal enough to make some mincemeat for the holi- days, but without avail, hence the mincemeat will be minus a very i'm portant element in it's concoction.
 The parting of the ways as be- tween Anchorage and Seward has come, through none of our seeking. This town much prefers to live at peace and harmony with all neigh boring towns, but we would not be human if we did not resent the cal umny and obliquy almost continually heaped upon us by the Seward news papers.
 Seward cannot afford to wilfully lose the respect and friendship of fast growing towns in this part of Alas ka. Indeed, the broad gauge policy for Seward to pursue-and the policy that would mean dollars to it. would be to lend every encourage ment to these new commercial cen- ters.
 But if Seward prefers to take the narrow way, and insist on quarrel ing and fighting, by all means let us accommodate her-AnchOrage Pio- neer.

SAY WERE PREVENTED FROM ENTERING
 POTASH PROPERTY BY ARMED FORGE
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 16.-Stor- ies of alleged gun battles during 1912 and 1913 will be recited in connection with the trial in the superior court here of case involving the potash de- pOsits at Searles Lake, San Bernardino county
 The case which is set for hearing Tuesday, is the suit of k. Waymire and F. Thompson against the California Trona company and other corporations. The plaintiffs seek the ejectment of the Trona company from about 25O00 acres of potash deposits, said to be worth several million dollars. Waymre and Thompson allege they were prevented by armed force from entering the property, and set forth taat their claims to the land date back to 1910.
 The Trona company denies their all legations and claims it's ownership dates back many years before 1910
 The suit is regarded as being of na-
 uOnal importance because it involves source of potash supply in the United States, which is said to be the only one capable of raplenishins the stock in this country, which are said to have been greatly reduced by the cutting off of importations from Germany, which heretofore has been the princi- pal source of supply for the American market.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-PresidenJ Wilson has begun Work to put into operation the plan he outlined in his last message to congress for preparing the nations manufacturing. railroad and other business resources for quick mobilization in case of emergency. It became known tonight that he had written to the heads of all the principal engineering organizations asking that they appoint representatives to collect data for use in organizing business for national defense in time of danger.
 The letters, one of which was made public in New York last night by w. l.. Saunders, president of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the American Chemical Society. The work of collecting data will be carried on between the representatives of these organizations in conjunction with the civilian naval consulting board.
 When the plans tentatively drawn up by ;he president and his advisers are completed, machinery will be set going which IS expected to place in the hands
  tioH regarding business and industrial resources which would have to be called to the assistance of the army and navy in time of war.
 When the president addresses the Railroad Business Association banquet in New York January 2 he is expected to refer to the adVisability of having the railroads and concerns which man ufacture railroad supplies cooperate in the general mobilization plans. The Army war college already has in it's possession much data necessary fo: the proper movement of troops over railroads in time of war but the ad- minstration desires the active assist ance of railroad executives and manu- facturers in completing this fund of information and keeping it up to date

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Restric- tions placed by surety companies on bidders for screen wagon transfer work in the government postal work is costing the United States a vast amount of money unnecessarily, Dam iel C. Roper. first assistant postmas
 ter general. has declared to congress in a plea for establishment of a fed eral employees guaranty fund. In New
 York City alone. it is alleged, tho government is paying $500, 900 too much for the transfer work.
 So important did MT Roper con-
 slider the situation that has developed as a result of investigations by feder al agents, that he called the DOstof-
 flee committee in special session to
 lay the results before them. His rev
 elations were closely guarded and only became public today when an account of executive session was in adVertently included in house re- port.
 The American Surety Company of New York. which is dominant in the screen wagon bonding field, was mentioned particularly by MT Roper as partly responsible for the linn
 tied number of bids received for this class of transfer work. The investi- gators report dealt sharply with the awarding of contracts and the bond : ing of bidders were termed 'un- warranted, unfair and questionable ' Frequent references were made throughout the report and in Mir Ropers remarks to the Cassidy in l terest' who formerly held screen wa

K Tennant, who is under indictment in the federal court for using the mails in a scheme to defraud, in con nection with the affairs of the Cali fOrnia Life Insurance company and the Western Underwriting company, called on Judge Trippet in Los An geles and withdrew from the defense A formal motion to this effect was to be made in Judge Trippet's court yesterday.
 Stone stated that the attorneys had withdrawn for the reason that Tennant had absented himself from the jurisdiction and paid no atten- ton to letters in regard to his dt fense to be used in the trial fixed for San Diego. in March. No money it is stated. had been paid by Ten nant, who is now supposed to be ill Denver.

gon contracts in several cities, and wko were bonded by the American Surety Company Other bidders, ac- cording to evidence adduced by the investigators, found the Cassidy firm a hard one with which to compete. Three members of the firm are now serving terms in the Atlanta federal prison for postal law violations.
 These are some of the allegations the investigators report makes against the American Surety Com pany: (
 That it refused to bond certain bidders unless the amounts of their bids were made public, while it bonded others without inquiry. That it refused to bond bidders on what it considered low estimates but agreed to furnish bona in | higher amount on the same indem- nifty provided:
 That the company's Washington agent acted as personal attorney for J. j. Cassidy. a bidder who now IS serving d term in Atlanta for postal frauds while Ee was presumed to be serving the interests of all bidders.
 Thar the agent denied that he was acting as Cassidy's representative while documentary evidence in the investigators hands gives contrary proof.
 That the agent objected to the de- pa1tment seeking to induce low bid- derS to reduce their figures. In a San Francisco case the con- panv refused to bond w. J. Galla- gher for a contract of less than $e5. coo and subsequently the contract was let for $44,000
