NOME, ALASKA, MAR g, 1916

Now that congress has finally determined to support the presi- dent in his foreign policy, the fu- ture course of events will doubt less be watched with far greater interest by the genalality of the American people who probably recognize that we are now def intely committed to a course preg- nant with numberless possibili- ties of danger and which permits of few alternatives in the event of Germany calling our hand on the submarine question. There is no denying that rejecting the resolutions intended to pre- vent careless or minimizing Am elicans from placing themselves,
 and incidentally the nation, in jeopardy, congress has taken a step Of the most serious charact- CT and one which may ultimately lead to conditions of grave mo- ment. In many respects the ac- ton of congress is nothing less than an invitation to trouble for the reason that it is an open en- dorsement of a policy which can have no other effect under pres ent conditions than to create grave friction with another power

Mir. Roosevelt has inc courage to come right out and say what he means. He is th9 only man important in public Vie who has shown such courage. It may not have been a particy rly popular attitude, and by thst it stands forth the more admi tbly as evil dence of moral courage.
 Since the complications of the war came to the fo1e the Uni ted States, through the national administration, has talked a great deal about preserving the rights of neutrals." :" AS natter of fact the only right of neutrals" this country has preserved is the right to register protest. Beyond that the record is zero
 When Belgium was overrun and the "scrap of paper" was cast to the winds, there was com mitted as outrageous a breach of rights of neutrals F history rec ords. What's did% the United States do to preserve Belgium s right, or to prevent a repetition of similar offense against other neu- trals?
 ,Ships of neutrals have been sunk, in arrogant disregard for not only United States ships, but those of Norway, Sweden, Hol- land, etc. What did the United States do to preserve the rights of this neutral shipping?
 This country has been stuffed with fine phrases-"strict ac- countability,' etc.-which have meant nothing. These phrases, these boastful notes, have not preserved the rights of neutrals. They have arrayed this nation on the side of wrong.

Arizona Wool Prices

Of Arizona's wool clip of an estim- ated 7,000,000 pounds less than 3O0,- 900 pounds have been sold, according to a news dispatch from Phoenix. The wool sold generally has been of the poorer grades and has gone at 26 to 261a cents, a price which two years ago would have been considered beyond the growers widest dreams. But time has changed for the wool growers of the southwest. Practical ly all the buyers and field men of the big wool houses have left Arizona They have decided it is no use to re- main when the growers calmly per sist in holding their clips for 30 to 31 cents and cheerfully voice their willingness to bet that the buyers will pay their price before the season ends.

Will Also Plant Potatoes

A large number of farmers in Go conino county will plant potatoes this year, the soil and climate of that section of the state having been found well adopted to the growing of this vegetable. This is an example that might be followed by the farmers in Navajo county. Good potatoes may be grown on the mesas without irri- gation, and there is no branch of the farming industry that pays better profits than potato raising, when sufficient quantities are grown to make it profitable to ship in car load lots.-Holbrook News.

The people of Tucson are very much wrought up over the shooting of Mrs. Bates by two deputy sheriffs and are demanding the recall of She riff Forbes. The deputies claim that thev were looking for hold-up men when the auto with Mir and Mrs. Rates came alonp. They commanded the auto to stop and as it did not. they fired at the occupants killing Mrs. Bates instantly. Bates says that he did not hear the order to stop because of the noise of the machine. Sheriff Forbes lays the blame on his deputies and regrets the unwonten killing, but will fight the recall. Capt. Bates, the husband of the dead woman, is prominent mining man.

Dry Leader Will Test
 Personal Use Liquor Law

Mayor Adams and A. R. Bucknam will make a test case to try to force the express company to bring in beer or liquor for personal use. They will each order one bottle of beer to be sent in by express and will mandamus the company to force it to deliver it to them. The company takes the position it is responsible in case they bring in liquor for personal use and afterwards sold, so it is playing safe by refusing to accept liquor ship ments. The result will be watched with a great deal of interest.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, April F, 19l6.-The cattle market last week was distinguished by break on Mon day, and a full recovery of this break later in the week, the close equal to the high time this year on all classes. Events during the week indicate that killers had better outlet for meats than they have had for few weeks, and prospects closed good. The run Of 12,OOO cattle today sold steady, which bears out the point that killers have good market for the meat Southern Nebraska and Kansas cat tie sold up to $9.40, Colorado pulp fed steers at s9.O5 to 1925 in most cases, few common pulpers at S8.5O to S8.S0, Oklahoma corn and cake fed steers at $8.20 to S8.40, of light weights, some Panhandle yearlings to steers killers at $8.50 to $9.1O. New Mexico yearlings to killers at S9,1O. Texas quarantine steers at $500, weighing 1915 lbs, Arkansas steers at 5000, possibly record price, and the usual mixture from nearby terri tory including steers from ss.25 to s9'4O. The area from which supplies were drawn today points to, an i'm mense reserve power in the beef making business, but the moderate total indicates scarcity at this time. Cows and heifers sold strong today. best cows up to S8.25, most of the heifers s750 to ss.50. A liberal share of the supply today was stockers and feeders and they sold steady with close of last week, most of the stock steers at SIPS to $500, feeders s7.75 to sS.35, a few feshy feeders up to S.75.

Hog Market Steady

Hogs closed last week equal to the best time this year, S9.SO for tops, and a narrow range of sales, lights at S9.75. Today the run is 13.OOO head, and prices are steady to 10 lower. Order buyers paid up to s9.sO, a choice load from Nebraska bringing that price, packers stopping at s9.75, bulk of sales s9.45 to S9.7O, light weights up to s97O. Strength under lies the big market situation. al- though packers contend for lower prices continually High beef and mutton preclude any attraction to those meats of pork eaters, and con- sumption of fresh pork is very heavy as is always the case when working men are finding plenty of work.
 Sheep Reach New Price Level
 Sheep and lambs reached new price levels last week, but the lamb market is p lower today, most of the good lambs selling at S11.30 to s11.4O, re- ceipts 16,000 head. Fat goats sold at s5.75, best fat goats worth around SC, some common brushers today at $4.9O, good ones worth up to s5.5O, the goat market steady today. Sheep are also wanted, and would sell steady today. best Texas clipped wethers worth around SITS. Northern Colorado is closing out its lambs pretty fast, and only about one more weeks supply remains in the Arkan- sas Valley, hence return to strong CT prices is expected within few days.
