CONGRESSMEN COMING TO
 ALASKA

A congressional party composed of the members of the committees on territories and appropriations will leave Washington on Saturday to visit Alaska and inspect the work done on the government railroad. The terri tories committee today favorably re- ported a $17,00O000 appropriation with which to complete the railway.
 Cordova is included in the itinerary of the visiting legislators. and while we have no special favOrs to ask of congress, other than that the $100,O00 already appropriated for public build ing here be made available for the i'm prOvement, the local Chamber of Com merce will arrange to receive and en- certain our guests while here. This is as it should be. All of Alaska is interested in having the work on the government railroad pushed to com pletiOn, and the more favorable inn pression made upon the congressman the more apt they are to give the needs of the territory favorable con- sideratiOn.

THE SALVATION ARMY

The strongest plea for the Salvation Army is the testimony of the return ing soldier How worthy the Army is to receive the donations of the pub lie is attested by the soldiers who wit messed the wonderful work of the Sal vationists in France. As near the firing line as they were permitted to go they ministered to the wants and comforts of the soldiers with an eff ciency possessed by no other welfare organization.
 The cause of this efficiency lay in the very nature and experience of the society. To all other organizations the work for the soldiers was some thing new and complex. To the Sal vatiOnists it was merely a new appli- cation of the work in time of peace. The loyal workers of the other organ izatiOns gazed with envy on the smoothly-operating engineery of the Salvation Army. Its discipline, it's familiarity with distress and suffer ing, it's experience in meeting the wants of struggling humanity-all proved invaluable in easing the lot of the we'll or wounded soldier.
 In the nationwide campaign for funds the SalvatiOnists have met with universal approval
 q am all the more happy to com mend this organization because it is free from sectarian bias," writes Car dinal Gibbons. "The man in need of help is the object of their effort, with never question of his creed or color"
 Colonel Roosevelt voiced the com mon testimony when he said: At last it has won it's way to recogni- tiOn and there are few thinkers now adays who do not recognize in the Sal vatiOn Army an invaluable social as- set, force for good which works eff fectively in those dark regions where, save for this force, only evil is power full"

caused some adverse criticism here. The American minister, Ira Nelson Morris, now in the United States, is said to be energetically supporting the plan under consideration, and it is un- derstood here that one of the pur- poses of his visit to America was in connection with the proposed new cable service.
 Advocates of the proposal point to the prospect that a considerable part of American trade with Russia, Fin land, Poland and the Baltic provinces will pass through Scandinavian coun- tries, and they see in this increased need of a direct cable service with the United States.

Honors Paid to the
Late J. P. McNichol

One of the features of the James
p. McNichol memorial service in the
State Senate chamber yesterday af-
ternoon, was a short address by
Governor Sproul, who told a story
concerning three soldiers going into
the trenches, as illustrative of Mr..
McNichors life.
Three soldiers going into the
front line trenches, perhaps never
to RETURN" said the Governor, were
asked their opinion concerning the
three greatest vices in life. The con-
census of opinion chose cowardice,
selfishness, and conceit."
The Governor then went on and
showed by examples that none of
these vices had entered into the life
of Senator McNichol.
The meeting was opened when
Senator Ware presented resolutions
of regret to the Senate, which were
ordered placed in the Legislative
record.
There were speeches by Senator
Ware, Governor Sproul, Auditor-Gen-
eral Snyder, and Senators Sones and
Daix. The former seat OF senator
McNichol, now occupied by Senator
Daix, was decorated with a huge
casket of roses, placed above a pic
ture of the late Legislator.
The Republican Alliance Of Phila-
delphia brought 400 men on Il special
train, for the services. All of the
club members wore a badge contain
ing the picture of Senator McNichol,
and the words, 'Our Loss" The

measures that showed up, while
Capitol Hill people tiocked to the
Senate to hear about them.
The most important bill was that
creating the State salary board along
the lines of the outline issued some
time ago. This bill is virtually what
was vetoed in 1917. The bill for nj
ennial instead of annual reports, also
much discussed, was likewise pre-
sented. These measures were intro
duced by Senator William z. Crow,
who also sponsored the bill to ahol-
ish the office of the executive con-
troller and to have all of the work
now handled in that office taken
charge of by bureau of the Auditor
Generals Department. This is also
in line with previous announcements.
The Governor will only have to act
on contracts under the. arrangement
planned.
