RAILROADS AND LIVES

According to figures gathered by the Bureau of Railway News and Statistics. there were S2S Ameri- can railroads having aggregate mileage of nearly is2Ooo miles which did no. kin a single passenger in train accident in 1915. The number of passen' gers carried by these roads did not fall greatly short of half a billion and the number Of passenger miles they travelled makes total great as to be entirely beyond comprehension. Only the astronomer has any real use for such figures.
 Some of the bad records that American railroad ing has made have been attributed by our loving friend across the water to American eon.empt for human nfe" but no country in Europe could show my such record as that made by these roads Enor-

suLzER's NOMINATION OPENS THE DOOR
 OPPORTUNITY

In nominating Senator sulzer for Delegate to Congress the Democratic convention acted in response 10 the demand of the people of all sections Of Alas sa and the demand was one born of circumstances that created it as naturally as day follows night For every moment since the adjournment of the late legiS la,lve session the finger of destiny has pointed to- ward Senator Sulzer as the best available man to represent Alaska In the National Congress He IS truly representative of all that Aaskans hope Tor ue is living embodiment Of the aspirations of American citizenship in the North He stands fairly and squarey for the principle of Alaska for Aaskans not only as to the personal of the official roster bu as to the development of the resources and gov ernmental powers of the Territory.
 Senator sulzer is an Alaskan in every sense or ,be term He might well be called Alaskan pro duct He came to Alaska l4 years ago. when but ss wears of age and he has been resident of the Territory ever since that time. He married an Alaska girl and is the father of Alaska born boy Alaska is his real and only home. All of his mature years have been devoted o the development of Alaska He has opened up one of the best producing copper mines Of the Trritory and has been giving employment to labor in the Territory for years He is intensely de- voted to Alaska and all his ambitions and hopes for the future are bound up in 1t and it's progress
 Thirteen years ago. when only 24 years Of age. at a nonpartisan convention held at Juneau he made his first speech in favor of seltgOyenment in the North-and he has stood steadfasty for selegovern- ment ever since that time In the late legislative session he was consistent and persistent in his sup port of the principle
 No man in the Territory is better informed on it's needs nor better gifted for their presentation He is able eloquent virile. He is earnest. honest clean He is of the highest type Of American citizenship
 He stands for cooperation and harmony in the de- yelopment of Alaska; for measures rather than men; for principles rather than personalities. His candidacy is not the result of desire for hOnors it is respOn- sve to the call for public service
 The nomination of Senator sulzer has opened the door of opportunity The people of Alaska should elect him to represen, them in Congress by major lty so large that it will place the stamp of disap- prova upon mud.throwing. personalities, vndctive- ness. seliishness and deceit in Alaskan politics. and banish them from the Territory forever They should elect him and provide the chance for the progressive development of the Northland. They should elect him and unshace the people in their struggle to establish the commonwealth of Alaska.

nous sums of money hayo been spent by Americen railroads to protect their passengers. and Che 'oci tudo they have shown this regard argues something very different from contempt of life.
 There Is another charge however which we can not escape Our easy disregard for law results in shocking number of fatalities to tramps and trespas sers of various descriptions There are thousands of these fatal accidents every year. They are a blot on our railroad record but the roads have only rela lively small share of the blame. It falls to all of us. and when the people at large take half as much interest in preventing violent death as the railroads do. the blot will be wiped out.

GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT IN ALASKA
lSeward Gatewayl


 The agricultural appropriation has been granted by Congress and this means that agricultural sta tious will be developed in Alaska. One of them will be along the line Of route of the railroad near Mat anuska and will probably fully prove the quality Of the ground and climate for all this district It Is one more of the signs of the intention of the government to develop the country that will supply traffic to the railroad And this work of government development has only been begun. Indeed, it has not really com menced yet We have the richest government in the world and this government is building a great rail- road through virgin territory It is up to this govern ment to show that the money well invested and everybody knows who knows the country that 1t has been but the sooner it is proven to all the nation the better Therefore, the government does not mean to build a railroad only. and then to let 1t take the chance of resting for years as skeleton It will be the best and policy to clothe the skeleton as quickly as possible with the flesh of substantial body Already the bones taking on the flesh as a natural consequence and the flesh will return the gift by keeping the life in the bones This looks like a peculiar smile Bones do not usually make flesh unless the example of Eye's manufacture can be taken as proof Of the opposite but really 1t seems to hit off this railroad situation The railroad first develops the country and the country later develops the railroad To build the railroad was the govern ments first work to aid in making it pay will be the next step All of us should keep remembering this fact if we sometimes feel inclined to be impatient when we find that it is taking more than day to build Rome

BAILEY PINS FAUST TWICE.

Champion Took Second Fall.

George Washington Bailey engaged
in wrestling match in his home town
Wednesday for the first time in over
q year and defeated Harry Faust
claimant of the championship of Ger.
many, winning the first and third falls
of finish match at catch.as- catch.can
style, in Festival hall.
| There was not so much of the spec
tacular rs had been shown here in
matches, notably those Gerhardt en-.
gagged in, but so far as the second and
third bouts were concerned there has
been no faster wrestling shown here
in three years. Especially is this true
Of the last bout. In that the men
were constantly whirling from one
igrip to another. There was a small
house.
The men had not been engaged more
than five minutes in the first bout,
which went 80 minutes and 10 seconds,
before Bailey pinned his opponent
with head and arm chancery, before
even skcptics were admitting that
Bailey had shown some things he hao
never shown before in Brattleboro.
incidentally he was showing that he
had not lost any of his great strength
Inc lOt 0Olu WAS not DuTTcu anu
once in that first bout Bailey clamped
it on to the extent that it appeared
as if Faust could not stand the punish
ment longer. But the German. his face
distorted by pain, managed to get into
position that permitted him to break
the hold and he was generously APP
plauded, rs both men were frequently.
Bailey finally got head and arm
chancery hold that could not he broken
and was slapped on the back by Ref
cree Jim Barnes of Springfield. Mass,
at the end of so minutes and 10
seconds
Faust lost no time in starting things
when the men returned to the mat for
the second bout and Bailey met hin,
half way. A total of 430 pounds was
slammed about on the stage for six
minutes and 40 seconds when it ap
peared as if Faust caught Bailey I'M
awares as the men were rolling and
twisting from one grip to another, and
pinned him with q double arm lock.
Faust's back being against Bailey s
chest.
If the second bout was speedy the,
third was a record breaker, for the
men were on the mat almost every
minute of the 13 minutes and 10 sec
onds required for Bailey to get the
fall with an arm hold and head
chancery.
Faust announced that he would like
to put up 800 against similar
amount of Bailey's money that he
could beat him any time within the
next two weeks. Bailey declined on
the ground that he was not a gambler,
but offered to wrestle any time for the
gate receipts.
