WHAT?

The Master has chiseled model for
each,
And in the sands of time hath made
mold;
He has heated the metal to molten
heat
Lead, brass, silver, and gold.
He has left the choosing unto us,
AS to what we pour in the mold;
Pray what will the product of your
life be-
Lead, brass, silver, or gold?

CAPITAL REMOVAL
 PLAN IS KILLED

OLYMPIA. Jan. 25.-The question of the removal of the capital from Olympia was settled today so far as the legislature is concerned by the
 passage of resolution by the senate that no such bill will be considered.
 The resolution was introduced by 35 senators and passed unanimously.
 The resolution points out that the bill proposing to initiate a capital re- moving bill failed to get the requir- ed number of signatures. that for more than half a century Olympia has been the capital of the state and the question was submitted to the people twice, with the result that Olympia was the choice of the vot- CTS above all other competitors. In
 view of the expressions of the people already had and no good purpose could be served by reviving a frac- tional or sectional strife, the senate today voted to give no consideration to any plan to change the capital.

BOARD ADJOURNS
 FOR THE PRESENT
AWAIT PAPERS FROM FOURTH
Commissioners Have Failed to Return to Board Orders and Notice of Election As Required by Law Bristol Bay Returns In Tuesday.

JUNEAU, Jan. 25.-The Territo- rial Canvassing Board ran into a snag today and was forced to adjourn subject to the call of the President of the Board. The count has not yet been completed in the Fourth Div;. sion, and will not be for some days. owing to the failure of several Ot the Commissioners in that division to send to Juneau the certified copies of the notices and orders of election, and until these are received the count of the vote in the several pre- cincts cannot be completed. The Commissioners have been notified to send the required papers and an re- ceipt of them the count of the vote will be continued. On the face of the returns SulZer is leading b! a good plurality, but with the prec '.icts held out because of the neglect of the Commissioners to comply with the law Wickersham is leading by 36 votes. The official count to date foI the several divisions is as follows:
 First Divisicn--Complete returns, Sulzer 2395; Wickersham 1906.
 Second Divisicn--Without Utica, which has been passed at least for the present on account of irregularities. Sulzer 673, Wickersham SS6.
 Third Division-Complete returns, Sulzer 1883, Wickersham 1912
 Fourth Division-Only fOrty-e'ght precincts counted, Sulzer 1443, Wickersham 146S.
 Late dispatches yesterday stated that it was all ever but the shouting, and that there was no doubt but that ia certificate of election would be !s- sued to Sulzer. AS the Board delved deeper and deeper into the count Of the Fourth division, it was found that precinct after precinct had failed to send in the proper papers, so it was deemed advisable to suspend opera tions until they could be secured, and to await the count from Bristol Bay, which will arrive in Juneau via Seat tie about Tuesday.
