Walter Ramseyer, of Sitkoh Bay, has conceived a new scheme for raising monye for the American Red Cross. The cake, which was made by the chef aboard the Spo kane and rallied off for the Red Cross, $100 being the proceeds of the raffle, on trip made by the Spo- kane short time ago, was won by T. H.

 Mr. O'Brien then offered to have it rallied off again at the cannery. Mr. Ramseyer has just turned the proceeds of the second raffle. $lo5, over to the Juneau Chapter of the Red Cross
 At the second raffle the cake was won by Louis Alexander, who has turned it over to be raffled again at the Pyramid Packing Company at Sitka.
 MT. Ramseyer said that it is the plan to have 1t taken to every can nery between Sitka and Juneau, stay ing week at each place, to be raf- fled off.
 When the cake reaches Juneau it will be cut and a piece of it sent to each of the winners.

He opposed the Cleveland administration with such strenuosity that he was nicknamed "Pitchfork Ben" Tillman. He was reelected Senator three times, and would have had fifth election is he had lived.
 While Tillman was heralded as an extreme radical and much ridi- culed when he first went to Wash ington, his great ability and lovable personality finally won for him the friendship of all who knew him, and for many years he has been one of the most popular men at the National capital.
