EFFORT BEING MADE
To SECURE PARDON

An effort is being made to secure
a pardon for Ralph T. Allen, who is
confined in the state penitentiary at
Waupun, where he is serving a ten
year sentence. 1t will be remembered
that Allen was Baraboo visitor sew
eral times about 1912. He then ad-
vertised himself as a healer or curer
of ailments of various sorts and did d
thriving business when he came to
Baraboo. Later he was interested in
various enterprises, among them being
one to promote a road show of some
kind. At this point he got into the
tolls of the law through a young wom-
an that he had engaged for this work.
A great deal of data has already
been accumulated to present to the
governor in order that he may get a
fair idea of Aliens character and bus
ines ability, and it is thought that IA
vorable action on the part of the state
executive will be secured.

itai enough for q longtime invest
ment. One OF the most important
parts Of his outfit should be a round
trip ticket. If he makes good and de-
cides to live permanently in Alaska,
he can always find a less-fortunate
man to whom he may give the return
part of his ticket"
Alaska is all right for the tourist,
but those who expect to go from the
states to reside should think twice be-
fore leaping. We heard a citizen say
the thing most dreaded were the long
nights. On account Of the rain and
cloudy days, another remarked that
she would never want to die and be
buried there. Many have made for
tunes in the land of promise and dis
appointments, and still others find a
voyage there a prolonged delight. You
will see that Alaska has many attri-
butes and one judges from the angle
Of his viewpoint. AS to a vacation
trip, Burton Holmes, the noted lect-
urer, sums up the situation in a COM
parative way as follows: "The Yose-
mite valley is beautiful, the Yellow
stone park is wonderful, the canyon of
the Colorado is colossal, and Alaska
is all Of these"

FOR
 DANISH ISLANDS
Uncle Sam Ready to Buy Them
 From Little Kingdom.
NEGOTIATIONS PROGRESSING

Treaty Must Be Ratified by Both
 Branches of Congress and by Au-
 thorities In copenha sen-Our Rights
 In Greenland to Be Surrendered to
 the Danes.
 A treaty for the purchase of the Danish West Indies by the United States has been negotiated between the governments of Denmark and the Unit ed States and in the near future is to be submitted to the senate of the Unit ed States and to the two houses of the Danish parliament for approval, ac- cording to information from Copenha- gen.
 If the treaty is ratified as it stands in project" form at present the United States will pay for the islands $25,- 100000, and in addition will relinquish to Denmark the rights of the United States in Greenland. Greenland is Danish possession, and the rights which the United States will abandon are merely rights of discovery, the scope of which Is i'll defined. ....
 The United States will obtain from Denmark full possession of the islands of St. Thomas, St. John and St Croix or Santa Cruz, as it is better known. These islands lie about fifty miles off the east coast of Porto Rico. They are 142 square miles in area and SUD- port a population of 27.000 persons, nearly all the inhabitants of the is- lands being negroes, who live by the cultivation of sugar cane. .e.
 The Danish ministry has formally communicated to the United States its willingness to accept the terms of- fered by Secretary Lansing for the is- lands, and the treaty of cession will soon be signed at the state department by Secretary Lansing and Constantin Brun, envoy extraordinary and minis ter plenipotentiary of Denmark. It is assumed that the status of the islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St John, should the treaty be ratified, will be similar to that of Porto Rico.
 New Treaty Peculiar.
 The new treaty is peculiar in that it will require action not only by the American senate and the Danish rigs dag, but by the United States house of representatives as well, since it will be necessary for the house to supply the needed appropriation of $25,000,000 to defray the expense of purchase.
 It is understood that the people of the Danish West Indies islands are to have a voice in this question of cession and that the government has given mo- tice that before it ratifies the treaty it would submit the question to the peo- pie of the islands.
 It is stated further that the people on the islands are much in favor of the transfer to the United States and that the treaty is so framed that they are not called on to surrender Danish allegiance. They may remain Danes in fact and in name, while enjoying whatever advantages in a commercial way may result from a transfer of the islands to the United States.
 1t is stated that formal delivery ot the territory and property ceded shall be made immediately after the pay ment by the United States of the sum of money stipulated in the treaty and 1 that the cession. with the right of i'm mediate possession, is to be deemed closed on the exchange of notifications
