PORTLAND IS STRONG
 FOR ALASKA s. s. LINE

Portland is going to accept Theo- dore B. Wilcox invitation to join him in an Alaskan steamship enterprise.
 Residents of this city, and particu- larly the business men, yesterday, al- most without exception, expressed ap- proval of the plans proposed by MT. Wilcox to the Chamber of Commerce directors on Thursday night.
 The Chamber itself took several definite important steps to carry out the suggestions made by MT. Wilcox. c. c. Colt, President of the Chamber, appointed two committees to conduct the preliminary work.
 A committee to inquire into the le- gal limitations of the port of Port land to do the work proposed by MT. Wilcox, consists of Franklin T. Grif- filth, c. H. Carey, Guy w. Talbot, w. P. La Roche, and Edgar B. Piper.
 A committee to investigate and re port the extent to which Portland business interests would support the line consists of Nathan Strauss, H. w. Mitchell, F. A. Spencer. H. L. Cor bett, and Jay S. Hamilton.
 MT. Wilcox proposed to the Cham Der that the port of Portland be au- thorized by the people or by other powers to issue $1,00O,- 900 in bonds for the building of three steamers to operate between Portland and some of the principal Alaskan ports.
 The first named committee is to report what legal procedure is neces- seary to make the bond issue possible. Whether the Port Commissioners themselves have authority to issue bonds or whether the proposal must be submitted to the voters. If it is necessary to go before the voters it is intended to conduct vigorous in support of the movement so that the people may know of the that will accrue if they decide favorably to the plan.
 MT. Wilcox pointed out to the Chambers directors that it will be possible to transfer the steamers and the business that may develop to pri- vate capital after short period of operation in the event that the Port do no want to remain in the business permanently.
 Directors of the Chamber agree with MT. Wilcox that if Portland is to share in the Alaskan trade that the time to go after the business ir right now, when the territory is beginning a new era of development. It is pro- posed, therefore, to charter three or four steamers to handle the traffic temporarily until the vessels that it is proposed to have the Port of Port land build are completed.
 Mir. Wilcox and his associates are interested in the Pacific-Alaska Nav igation company operating fleet of vessels between Puget Sound and AL aska, and between Puget Sound and San Francisco. It is believed that some of these vessels could be trans ferred under charter, to the Portland Alaska run, while the proposed new ships are under construction.
 Ut is the biggest project that has been launched in Portland in many a year." commented President Colt of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
 And the beauty of it is that it ap- pears perfectly feasible. It remains only for the people of Portland to their interest in the AL askan market and their faith in Mr. Wilcox judgment by coming to the support of the enterprise"

Eavid Mattson, present secre-
tary Of state, and candidate to
succeed himself, has been a prom
inent figure in Utah business and
political cirlces for score of
years
Mr. Mattson is Republican in
politics and for years he has been
factor in shaping the policies of
his party. and in winning its bat
ties. When he was County Clerk
he uncovered the notorious bounty
frauds which were filching thous-
ands of dollars from the people
of the state annually, and through
the prosecution which he institute
cd this pernicious practice was
successfully stamped out. As
State Treasurer he drove sharp
bargains for the state in the sale
of bonds and the handling of ac-
counts. During his term in this
Office the law had not yet been
put into effect requiring the pay
ment of interest on public funds,
nevertheless Mr. Mattson by judi
cious control of the states finan-
ces effected saving approximate
ing two per cent of the average
daily balances carried during his
entire administration.
Since entering the Office of
Secretary of State Mr.. Mattson
has effected decided improvements
in that department The Office has
been thoroughly reorganized, sys-
tematized, and placed upon
sound business basis. In point OF
arrangement and organization.
the Secretary Of States Office now
has no equal in the state. and al
though the work in the depart
ment has doubled in the past few
years, II Is being handled with
precision and dispatch seldom
seen In public offices of similar
character.
Mr.. Mattson Is for statewide
prohibition and in an interview
says
at Is plain to me that the peo-
pie of this state want prohibition
and II vii be sure suicide for any
political party to oppose the move
ment Much has been said about
submitting this question TO the
people AT a special election to be
provided for by the next Legis-
laturc If there were any reason
able grounds for uncertainty a.
to the temper of the people on this
matter there might be some ex-
cuse for such q proposition. Per-

BEAUTIFUL CHURCH WEDDING

A beautiful wedding ceremony took
place at the Danish Lutheran church
last Friday evening when Elmer A.
Andersen and Miss Sarah Hansen
were united in marriage by the pastor
Rev. J. P. Christensen in the pres
ence Of a number of relatives and
friends. The bride was handsomely
dressed in a white dress and wore
bridal veil and carried a shower
bouquet of carnations.
Immediately following the cere-
mony, the bridal party went to the
Danish parsonage where a reception
was held and refreshments were ser
we'd, after which the evening was
spent in visiting and social converse
ton.
The groom is one of Audubon s
promising young business men, being
engaged in the blacksmithing bust
ness in the shop, recently owned by
Frank Wilson. BY his splendid ability
and close application to business he
has worked up fine business. He is
a hard and industrious worker and is
in every way worthy of the young
woman who has entrusted her life
to him. The bride came to Audubon
from Denmark early last spring and
during her short stay has demonstrate
ed her sterling worth and excellent
character.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andersen began
housekeeping at once in the j. X.
Jensen property where they are now
at home to their friends. All join
in wishing them an abundance of
happiness and prosperity without
end

THE NEW GOVERNOR

Lieutenant Governor William l..
Harding has been elected governor
of the state by an unparalleled ma
jority. So far his own part in the
campaign was concerned, he made
no change in his plans from the start
He appealed to the people of the state
practically on the ground that he ex-
poets to do nothing radical. Possibly
the state has been waiting for such
an appeal. He conducted himself I'M
der fire most automatically. Not in
the history of the state has any man
under forty years of age been given
such an opportunity. He can return
to the state for his big majorities the
best service of which he is capable.
His friends have faith in him. OPPOSE
tion to him only increased his major
Iity by putting disinterested men to
work. His campaign progressed in a
way that to use slang phrase, finally
outdid itself. The state expects much
from Harding. He has health and
strength. He has had good schooling
in public affairs. He is familiar with
every quarter of the state and he
knows its needs.
The next two years is going to
mean much to Iowa The states a.
round us are progressing rapidly in
the things that go to make better
homes, better schools, and a happy,
prosperous people. Iowa has never
faltered in the face of competition. 1t
does not propose to do so now.
The unpleasant things of the cam
paign will wear off. The legislature
will soon be in session. There is
much of Importance to do. A firm
Leadership in the governors Office will
mean great deal to the success of

Not since the days of the famous
Tom Denison trial has the court room
at Red Oak been the scene of the in
tense interest which 1t was Tuesday
afternoon. The second day of the suit
brought by Senator F. F. Jones of
Villisca against ]. N. Wilkerson, a
Kaiisas City, Mo-, detective, for dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 alleged
to have resulted from rumors and
stories sent afioat by Wilkerson and
imputing that Senator Jones was the
moving spirit in the murder Of Joe
Moore. his wife and four children and
the two daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Stillinger, which occurred in the
Moore home at Villisca on the night
of June 8, 1912.
Contrary to general expectation the
empaneling Of a jury required but a
day of court and at 1920 o'clock
Tuesday morning the jury box had
been filled with the twelve men who
will hear the evidence submitted in
this case, declared by the attorneys
to be one of the most important in
the history of the county. 1t is be-
lieved that the great prominence of
the case, which has made it subject
of gossip in the county for months,
would tend to make it difficult to Sc
cure an unbiased jury, but before the
panel had been exhausted twelve men
were secured who declared their
minds free from opinion and who felt
themselves competent to listen to the
testimony and arrive at just YER
dict. The fate of the case rests in
the minds of what may be called
farmer" jury. Ten of the twelve
men in the jury box are farmers, one
a barber and the other occupation is
given as retired. g
