JUDGE BUNNELL NOT a..
 TO BECOME CANDIDATE
The Fairbanks T.1.ss says:

The Fairbanks T:liss says:
 i At a meeting of the delegates to the Juneau ccrvehtion. at the recent Denocratic primaries held last even- ing in the offices of McGowan and Clark, it was decided to put forward no, candidate for the de1egateshfn from the Fourth division. Nor will az effort. be. made to secure the ofi7 ces of attorney general or national committeeman. Instead it is hoped that the chairman of the territorial committee will be secured and a pledge that the next convention will be neld in Fairbanks.
 Judge Bunnell, who was present, was made to understand that 1t was the earnest wish of all present that he make the race for delegate and that confidence existed in his chances of election. He gave good reasons, however, for not entering the field again, which, however disappointing to his hearers were nevertheless con- vincing.
 Another meeting will be held on Friday night, at which time the men to ill the offices of chairman of the teri ltorial committee and the two seats in the central committee will be selected.
 Tine indications are that the Fourth division will have several delegates present at the Juneau convention, which is 10 take place on May 24.

The time of tEt adjournment of the present session of congress is quite an absorbing theme among the members of all parties up on Capitol Hill. Senator Kern's recent announce ment that Congress will be here until September, dropped a bomb among the friends of early adjournment. One of the men who thinks that Congress is going to get through early is Rep resentative Rainey of Illinois, rank ing man on the Ways and Means Con- mittee. He sets the time as July l. Speaker Champ Clark, early in the session, predicted Congress would Dc here late ill the fall. Indications ar>. pointing to the fact that there is lit tie hope that the present session wi. end before August 18th and Senate : kern's date is being regarded as u C earliest likely moment of gettil 2 away.

This trade has been benefited because of the good pros poets the war has brought to the Ven szuela sugar industry This is quot ed as an excellent example of what is meant by the indirect action of the European struggle on our present prosperity.

THURSDAY, MAY IT, 1916
STATEHOOD AND POLITICS

The platform adopted by the Sew afd convention demands statehood for Alaska.
 There are many obstacles in the way of getting statehood for Alaska, and there is small chance of Alaska becoming a state until some time jn the dim distant future.
 One of these obstacles is that same Seward convention.
 So long as one man or one little clique is able to absolutely dominate and control the actions of the cor- vention supposedly representative of one of the two principal political parties, the less such conventions have to do the better it will be for the people of Alaska.
 Next month democratic conveIl- tion will be held in Juneau. And there is no indication that this con- vention will come any nearer repre- senting Alaska democrats than did the Seward convention to represent ing Alaska republicans.
 With statehood, it would devolye upon these party conventions to name the candidates for numerous state, congressional, and county of fees. The men elected would have practically complete contro! of af- fairs of the state-legislative execu- tive, judicial
 It appears, therefore, unlikely to the extreme that the people of Alaska can be worked up to any great show of enthusiasm for statehood so long as the entire political interests of the territory are retaind by few in- dividuals' and used by them solely for the advancement of their own sell fish ends.
 One of the first requisites for larger degree of self-government in Alaska, would seem to be an intel ]igent use for the zenefit of the peo- pie and interests of the territory, of the present limited power granted to the legislature and territorial of1ic- ials.
 Without clean party organization, it is useless to hope for such results.
 Under present political conditions in the territory, Alaska as a state would be rotten borough with her public and private interests sub- ject to exploitation by interruptions -tricksters.- Report.

to the consideration of minor and rou-

in order that the session today might
be devoted to comparing the bids made
for the two big undertakings planned
for the immediate future, and award
in the contracts. These are the intake
at Hanlon heading and the canal to
be constructed for the purpose Of
Strengthening and shortening the Te-
colate canal.
By members of the board the belief
was expressed last night that the
two contracts would be awarded to-
Gay. There are four bids on each

CALIPATRIA WILL
PLANT LONG STAPLE

The entry into Calipatria of the
well known son of Mexico, Mr.. Creel,
who recently purchased section of
land through H. H. Clark, recalls the
fact that Mr.. Creel first visited I'm
perial Valley and Calipatria some time
ago as the guest of Carl F. Schader.
Mr. Creel, who is a descendant of
one of the wealthiest families in Mex
leo, is fine type of the modern sci
entific farmer, as he is graduate
of one of the best agricultural col
leges in the country.
This section, which he has pur-
chased at Calipatria, is to be planted
to long staple cotton, as it has been
proven that this land is especially
adapted to the culture of long staple,
which is far more profitable to raise
than is short staple, because it brings
from to 10 cents per pound more,
with the yield practically the same.

Governor Withycombe of Oregon,
like Governor Lister of Washington,
believes the militia from his state has
given enough of their time and serv-
ice to Uncle Sam and that they should
be returned to their homes. The Ore
gon executive has so stated on for
mer occasion to the War Department,
as indicated in telegram sent a day
or two, prodding the Washington of :
ficials in this manner:
"Receiving no answer to my letter
dated December 1, requesting with
drawal of Oregon troops now held in
California, and, being besieged with
inquiries concerning them, l venture
again to query you as to what action
is proposed. Cannot they be returned
before the new year?

made big sacrifices. Citizen soldiers
should not be made to suffer because
the regular army is inadequate. Such

H[RNANDEzHAS
NO Time FOR
CHAPLIN

"When you say mince pie, baseball,
poker, nervous prostration and Charlie
Chaplin, you have described Amer
ica."
Such was the observation made yes
terday in the lobby of the Barbara
Worth hotel by Daniel Hernandez, the
famous and idolized Spanish toreador,
who has stopped over in the Valley
while touring America. He spoke
through an interpreter and the inter-
prefer said that of these "customs"
Senior Hernandez felt the least kindly
towards Charlie Chaplin.
"The adulation Of your American
populace for this so-called comedian
is strange" translated the interpre-
ter. "His comedy is not comedy at
all, just boffoonery. Comedy is some
thing more subtle, which requires
firesse. At one time l asked a trav-
cling companion why Senor Chaplin
was IN such vogue, and l was tolu
it was because of the physical dam
gers he invited, the falls and jumps
and other personal hazards. That is
childish. His work is childs' play. He
is but a clown"
From a later conversation with the
Interpreter it was suggested that some
Ct Senior Hernandez's pique regarding
Charlie Chaplin may be because of
Caplin's burlesque of toreador in
Chaplin's version of Bizet's opera,
Carmen" Hernandez is apparently
very proud of his profession and ac-
cording to his friends has keenly felt
the attitude of America regarding the
dignity Of his status.
He saw Chaplin's burlesque of the
toreador in Chicago.

The announcement was made last
night that the former directors of the
Calexico baseball club, who controlled
the organization in 1915 to a success
full seasons end, have consented to
take over the club and guide it
through the remainder Of this season.
The old directorate includes Charles
Turner, William Stanton, Les Cardiff
and Cyril Aitken. A fifth is yet to
be- chosen.
With the end of the season nearing,
and the pennant in sight for the Ca
lcxico's, the new managers, or rather
the old ones in their old places, feel
that more interest should be taken
the citizens of the town generally in
the organization. They will endeavor
to enlist the active interest of a great
er number, and to secure funds from
larger attendance with which to
improve the condition of the grounds
and meet other running expenses.

The added conveniences and economy
will be appreciated by the manage

tjmated will cost about 100000.
