TRAIN STALLED BY BEARS.

Held Up LIN Pennsylvania Woods for
Half Hour by Bruins-Engineer
Has Scare.
Johnsonburg, PA - log train on
the Dahoga & Highland railroad was
held up for half hour by two large
black bears south of Highland.
The log train was moving slowly up
the hillside when Engineer Johnson
discovered the two bears, weighing
about 300 pounds each, standing on
the track few hundred feet ahead of
the train. AS the train approached
the spot they failed to move.
Johnson pulled the bell cord, but
the clang of the bell or the blast of
the whistle failed to brighten the
bruins, who stood and gazed at the ap-
preaching train.
Knowing that it would be impossible
to kill the bears at the speed his
heavy train was moving up the hill,
and fearing an attack if he injured
them, Johnson stopped the train, and
badly frightened, watched the bears
for about half an hour, when they
slowly wandered off into the forests.

A Generous Offer.

A family living in South Chicago
found a good deal Of cream on bot
tie of milk which had been standing
over night and when the driver called
in the morning the pleased servant
held it up to the light and said: Look
here, | have never seen anything like
this before on your milk"
The man looked at it for moment,
scratched his head and replied: We'll
don't know what's the matter but
YOU can throw it out and I'll give you
a fresh bottle in it's place"

The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-06-02

least to be fair enough to admit that this is a concrete case where Wickersham has proved his useful ness to many of the smaller ship pers.
 The Industrial Worker is not Wick ersham paper, has no more sup ported him than it has supported Sulzer. No paper has been freer in it's criticism of many things which he has done and many things which he has left undone than this paper.
 None the less, because he is no longer the certified delegate to Congress from Alaska, is no reason why it should be asserted that ot this rate case he has made a fizzle. He has done nothing of the kind. If the changes have been made in the conditions of discrimination in | the rates, so that such discrimina- tions were changed, it has all been brought about by Wickersham and by not another politician
 The Alaska rates need consider able remedying. The Industrial | Worker has contended that rates upon the ocean and rates upon the rivers will help to solve transporta- tion problems in Alaska much more promptly than the construction of government railroad This paper so claimed long ago and claims so today. The key to the situation is between Alaska and the States and not within Alaska.
 To finally adjust these rates so that no inequity would exist re- quires considerable work and work that is not merely word-play and political tom-foolery. The Wicker ersham effort was an effort along | lines of earnestness and reality. There was no pretense about it, and what little has been done has been done by reason of it.
 Prejudice against him cannot deny that, however strong it may be, without stultification.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-06-02
THE RATE RULING.

According to a Washington dis patch the Interstate Commerce Com mission decided against the Wick ersham contention of discrimination of rates in favor of the big compa- nies, holding that the rates existed as charged eight months ago, but not now.
 If this is a decision against Wickersham, the man in the street should be shown. It is not self evident. It is more than twelve months ago since Wickersham made his move in the case, and if, since that time. and under the pressure of that move, the steamship companief. put their houses in order, that merely justifies the Wickersham position.
 The real question is why were the companies obliged to rectify the discriminatory rates which they practiced eight months ago. + that is answered we can hardly re- gard the dispatch that Wickersham was decided against in the rate ease as correct in inference.
 In fact what has happened is this. The steamship companies did have discriminatory rates. Wic@ersham in his brief explicitly revealed wherein they existed. Not only that but his move to have the h. terestate Commerce Commission in vestigate the matter, compelled also the Steamship Companies to mend their ways. Under pressure of that kind, due entirely to this of fcial action the Interstate Com merce Commission, admits that the companies removed this discrimina- ton.
 Yet how long these rates have been going on until this action was taken who may say? Everything points to the fact that they have | been the natural thing ln the Alas ka transportation trade and only because action was taken to change this, was it changed.
 There's a heap of black spots shadowing through the dose O. whitewash which the Interstater! have applied to this cass. And ont of the darkest is the very wording of the decision which in effect ad mits that the injustices existed bu since have been remedied.
 And now comes Alaska politics Every paper which has attacked denounced and bounded Wicker sham will see in this decision an other case of rank failure-anothe exploded effort at self advertisement another ridiculous batting of ca pital, invested in the country, fo
 political purposes. They ought 6
