HENRY FORD.

Henry Ford has been called a jack ass and a clown because he hired ship and sailed across the sea to stop the most frightful slaughter the world has ever known. The big thing in his action is not the question whether he will or will not stop the war, but the fact that he is willing to tryl It was by trying that he got where he is. But still he keeps on trying.
 In the face of overwhelming odds, in spite of a worldwide criticism, he is willing to undertake the greatest job that ever fell to the lot of a human being in the worlds history. He brushes aside the thousands of columns of newspaper criticisms, he ignores the public utterance of so- called statesmen, he sets his face to- ward the most glorious goal that any man ever hoped to achieve-and goes on his way Trying.
 So far, he is the only person who 1as taken definite step toward end ing the war. True it may not be the right step, you get that by trying. The men who sit in swivel chairs and sheer and make funny jokes about that man Ford are not taking steps of any kind to end the war. The job looks too big and too hopeless to them. It looks big to Ford and may be it looks hopeless to him. But he's got the nerve to try and spends his own money. Asking aid of no man. What a nation this would be, if each industry could be headed by Ford who was willing to try, what chance would any other nation under the sun have with us. What if more of us were willing to try and less of us were slaves of convention and creatures of habit. There is a word in the dictionary called can't, leave it there. Never use it. Well we've been Henry FOrdingo it for the past twelve years, and expect to keep right at it, until the Powers that be, and the Engineers that direct it, awaken to the fact that Seward is the Begin ming and Final jumping off place of construction of Government railroads in Alaska. In the meantime, we have plenty time and help to serve you. Best treatment, best price, and sure i ly the Best Goods.

MURDER WAS
 FIENDISH ONE
Continued from Page Onel

girl-were in the house in a state of hysterical fear and terror. The old est of these, boy of ten, says that his father rested from time to time and then renewed his assaults upon his wife. The woman is supposed to have died sometime yesterday morn ing. In the afternoon Mclean sent a message to Rev. B. P. KassevarofT, priest of the Greek church at this place who is the uncle of the dead woman, notifying him that Mrs. Me Lean was dead. Later Mclean ad- mitted to Rev Kassevarof that he had killed the woman, but at the in- quest, held here this morning, he de- clared his wife was killed in a run away of his dog team, the sled over turning, he asserted, and dragging her body for hundreds of yards. The jury brought in a verdict that she came to her death from bruises in- flicted by Mclean. Mclean was ar rested by United States Deputy Mar shal H. J. Paulsen and is now in the Dillingham; jail
 Mrs. Mclean was the daughter of Rev Father Kashevaroff, priest of the Greek church at Kodiak, Alaska. She and Mclean have been married about twelve years. She was known here as an excellent housekeeper and a good mother.
 Mclean is native Australian and has had a checkered career. When thirteen years of age he ran away from home, coming to San Francisco. From that place he came to the Bris- tol bay region, marrying here. In 1910 he was one of the census enum- orators, covering the Illiamna lake region. He was of quarrelsome dis position and has had numerous fights.
 Six weeks ago he came near mur- dering O. Larsen, Norwegian of Wood river, who came to the Nushagak river region from San Francisco year ago. In a dispute over a poker game Mclean struck Larsen with a beer bottle such a blow on the head that Larsen lay unconsci- ous fourteen days. He is now re- covering. For this Mclean was fined S1OO by Commissioner l.. H. French Had it not have been for the fact that he was Territorial schoolteacher he would have been gievn a jail sen tence in addition.
 He was also known as a wife-beater and last summer served a jail sen tence in addition to paying a fine for beating his wife. At that time he came near numbering Mrs. Mclean.
 Three weeks ago in a fight with c. W. Larsen, of Dillingham;, Mclean was knocked down and beaten.
 The Mclean children have been taken in charge by their uncle, Rev. B. P. Kashevaroff. The body of the dead woman is now being kept in a frozen condition until a pOst-mortem examination of her injuries can be made by D. L. H. French. All the bones of her face are broken in and also the frontal cranial bones, as well as the bones of her chest.

Gus Borg, foreman, for the rig
building firm of Lamb & Walker at
Writ, was drowned last night about
nine o'clock while in swimming in a
pool on the DuArd property in section
9-4-3. Just how the accident occurred
is not known. The body was not
recovered until two hours after the
accident happened. Dr. Hardy was
phOned for to bring a pulmotor to
try to resuscitate him but the ply
sician knew that it would be useless
as he would have been drowned some
thing like four hours before he could
have been reached and he did not
go. James Lamb left for the fields
Immediately after he heard of the
drowning. He stated before leaving
here that the remains might be
brought to this city for interment.
Gus Borg was a Swede. He was
about 40 years old and is survived
by wife. He has no other relatives
in this country. He had been with
this company since the early days of
the field and was a good man and a
good worker.
