To Receive Delegates.

Arrangements are being made by COM
mittees from the various churches to
entertain the Okanogan County Sunday
School Convention, which will meet here
on Monday and Tuesday, June 9Th and
9Th. Heretofore the towns which enter
tain this convention, which Is an annual
to all delegates. Last year at Omak there
were nearly one hundred and fifty dele
gates from outside of the town and i'm
mediate vicinity. There will doubtless be
as many here. 1t is hoped that the homes
of our people will be opened to these Wis

For entertainment it has been decided to
give lodging and breakfast, and the dele
gates will provide their own lunch and
dinner. This will give the housewives a
chance to take in the sessions of the con-
vention.

BANNER YEAR FOR THE WOOL MAN

The year 1916 is going to prove the most profitable v known in
the history of the wool industry-from the produser to the manufacturer
According t. a writer in the Saturday Evening Post, every card, comb,
spindle and loom in the United States is running and every factory is
demanding more wool. None Of u W product is being shipped and
we are importing also at the rate of 4OOUOm0 pounds a year.
The same writer predicts that 40 cent wool is OF far If and lie es
"a SIS advance in the price of mems wool suits before the summer is over.
Wool blankets, it is almost impossible to get This latter assertion is
evidenced BY the recent experience OF a firm right here at home, or to
be more correct Reno. Last fail this firm ordered 1900 wool blankets.
Up to date only sixteen hawe arrived, and last week they were informed
by the manufacturers that the order could not be completed inside OF
eighteen months. 1t is estimated that Of blankets between slxa M ter
mmIlions have been sent to Europe since the "a began.

cARsoN's FIRST IMPROVEMENT CLUB

Tomorrow evening the women of the north side of Carson meet to
organize a neighborhood Improvement club, the purpose of the organ
ization being to interest the women of that section in the cleaning up
of the streets, alleys, bitches and vacant lots in their own neighborhooI
and o see that they are kept clean. There have been several unsighty
and unsanitary spots n that district in past years, the removal o which
could have easily been accomplished by an organized effort.
There is room and work also for CENTRAL and south side improve
ment clubs in Carson City, and if they were formed by the women re
siding in those districts a friendly rivalry between the three clubs might
do much toward making the capitol city a "spotless town.

WILSON FOR SULZER AND
 HOME RULE President Endorses Self Government Candidate For Delegate to
 Congress
MADE CLEAR
Executive With Dem- OCratS of Nation and Alaska on Govern
 ment Form

President Woodrow Wilson, head of the administration that has done more for Alaska than has been done for the Territory than all other ad- minlstrations since the acquisition from Russia, would be greatly pleased with the election of Charles A. sulzer as Delegate to Congress from Alaska.
 Photographic advices from Valdez this morning convey the news that National Committeeman T. J. Dono- hoe has received telegram from President Wilson saying that he earnestly favors the election of Mir. Sulzer.
 Mir. Donohoe telegraphed the President, who had been provided with copies of the Democratic Ter rltorial platform. asking his ap- proval of the candidacy of Charles A. Sulzer upon the platform that had been adopted.
 The result was the telegram from the President referred to, and which appears elsewhere.
 Settles Presidents Position
 This telegram will settle the question as to the position of the administration on Alaskan ques- tions. Never was a more compre- hensIve platform on the issues that confront Alaska adopted than that upon which stands the candidacy of Charles A. Sulzer for Delegate to Congress, and never was there nom inted for office in Alaska or else where a candidate who fits his plat form more exactingly. The platform contains a straightforward, ringing declaration for self-government in Alaska, the control of the fisheries, and school questions by the people of the Territory. and with them control of all the functions of gov ernment that were exercised by the people of the other Territories in their day.
 President Wilson still stands for full Territorial form of govern ment for Alaska.
 The Democratic National platform also declares for self-goyernment for Alaska.
 Self-Government With Sulzer
 old line supporters of the prlnci- pie of the government of Alaska by Alaskans, acting through their own Legislature and machinery created by themselves, such as would be the case with a full Territorial form of government. expressed the con- viction today that with the Presi- dent favoring the election of Sena- tor Sulzer and full Territorial gov ernment for the Territory. with the platforms of the Democratic Terri torial and National parties favorable to 1t, the result of the election of Senator Sulzer would be a speedy enactment of a law that would con fer upon the people of Alaska such powers as have become traditional with American Territories.
