CANADIANS SCORE
 WILSON'S PROGRAM
Entrance Into War With Pen After Failing To Fight
 Called Inopportune.

At recent meeting of the Canadian Parliament, the peace program of President Wilson was rought up be- fore both houses. Senator Pope gave notice of a resolution declaring that "only representatives of allied coun- tries whcih have taken an active part in the present war, should participate in negotiations for peace" according to Caaadian papers.
 W. F. Cocslutt, Conservative, in the lower house said: President Wilson's entrance into the war with his pen is most inopportune. He had two years ago opportunity, by entering war with an army and a navy, to force peace ere this and he did not do so.
 "The United States was bound by its signature to The Hague conven- tion to protect the neutrality of Bel gium. If their guarantee of peace and the protection of smaller nations is TO better in the future than it has been .1 the past, peace and the smaller na- t'pns are better off without it.

ROMANCE OF ENUMCLAW
 TEACHER STARTS IN FUN

BELLINGHAM, Jan. 31.-Miss Win fired Davis of Enumclaw went to the state normal school at Bellingham 5 years ago with the intention of making teaching her life work. With a party of classmates she went on a sightsee- ing trip to a Bellingham shingle mill and "just for fun" wrote her name and address on a shingle. From that time fate decreed she should not be teach CT.
 The shingle went in a shipment to the middle west and in due time James Wilkinson, young Iowa farmer, bach elor, shingling his barn, found it. He cut off the portion with the name and address, put it in an oxidized silver frame, and began persistent court ship to win Miss Davis. After three years constant wooing by correspon- dence and two trips to the coast, he was successful. The wedding took place a few days ago at the brides home in Enumclaw and she is now on her way to become mistress of one of the best farm homes in Iowa

BANANA BELT HAVING 1 LITTLE MORE OF
 THE BEAUTIFUL"

Ketchikan is not being appreciated! While the people all over the states are being buried in snow and frozen to death, and in the Interior of the territory, people are experiencing S2 below zero weather, and even the neigh boring towns are frozen up by Taku winds and snowslides, Ketchikan, is enjoying little mild snowstorm- with the thermometer registering as we go to press, only thirteen degrees above zero, and yet no one appears satisfied. Protests are coming from all around about Ketchikans so-called Banana Belt and yet when the facts are put before them, they must admit that We are in the Banana Belt after all. The coldest so far has been two degrees below zero, and people who protest at that certainly are not ap- preciatiye of the privilege of calling themselves Ketchikaners

TAKEN FROM LONELY
 CELL AFTER Al YEARS

BOSTON, Jan. 31-Jesse Pomeroy who has been for 4 years in soli- tary confinement in the state prison at Charlestown, has been granted equal privileges with other prisoners by the state executive council. Con victed of murder at 15, Pomeroy two years later was locked up in a cell so that he might not gaze on his fellow men and was barred, as far as pos sible, from human companionship.
 Now, at the age of 57, Pomeroy will move into cell where he can see passersby, will be allowed to exercise with other prisoners, sit with them at the church services and at the pris- on entertainments, and will have such light work in the prison shops as his somewhat enfeebled health will per- nit
 Pomeroy was convicted of the brutal murder of two children. following a series of degenerate acts. which had terrorized the South Boston and Dor chester districts of this city. He was sentenced to be hanged, but because of his youth the sentence was commit ed to solitary imprisonment for life. On September [, 1876, he was placed in his solitary cell
 Reports of sensational attempts to escape became public at frequent in- tervals. His mother, until her death two years ago, never relaxed her ef- forts to secure his pardon, and was allowed to visit her son regularly.
 When Pomeroy began his sentence he was poorly educated. Now he can read in seven languages. and at the age of 57 is studying Arabic.
 He has been diligently studying law as it bears on his case Beyond his attempts to escape he has been a quiet and model prisoner.-Boston Herald.
