 IS THEIR
 G0AL. NOW

LONDON. Oct. 30 The United State consulate here was vcri- table Tower Of Babc last month. Cos Imopoitm London has been pouring q varied array of nationals into the Am crican gateway in England with the single hope that they be allowed to go to the United States. It's 9 ease of many knocking and few entc'm, 'ow- ever.
 No one is allowed to go unless he or she has a good reason for being in he United States. The wealthy Brit jsher who wishes to escape after con dihns here and sec a country he has 1card SD much about recently is in the samc category as the Italian or French waiter who wants to seek a job "out there" But if any one has anything to sell those cases are in .he great minority however as few people in England have anything now that is needed in the United States or if they wish to go to purchase, they are given every facility.
 Every morning an hour or SO be fore the consulate opens line Of aliens forms. Often there are from seventy five to one hundred in the lueque and more keep coming. An av- aragc of nine out of ten will be disap- pointed.
 A British woman evidently of means and just as evidently lacking diplomacy made no attempt to conceal her irritation at standing in line an hour and half. Her reason she said for wanting to go to the United Stat cs was to visit SoUc relatives.
 "lS your presence in the United States necessary because of the rinan- cial condition of your relatives" the examiner asked her.
 "Ccrtaiuly not, rather haughtily.
 Then cannot grant you vise."
 The young examiner was then de- Iuged with threats but it was of no avail

NR. BuRLESoN AND ALASKA

( During an address at Atlantic City, AIr. Bw'cson, postmaster general ot the United States. for the fist time , publicly defended himself and the de pmtmcnt against the attack that have been directed against him for months by great majority of the leading publications of the United States.
 The efficiency of the department is marvellous, Nr. Bmlcson told the man ufactucrs association, just marvci- ous. OF words Co that effect. Throughout every one of the forth eight states of the union that may bc correct. An of these attacks on the postmaster general may have been un- warranted But the average Alaskan, assuming that the res. of the coun- try has been given the same treat ment as the Territory, without any de-
 l., accuse the postmaster general of favoTtism. would say that the post. al administration has been a frizzcO.
 Mail is handled in the same man nor as canned salmon or copper ore av freight, and then only when the whim hits the stcamboatS or the ship. ping clerks of Seattle. And yet Mr. Burlcson talks of efficiency.
 That is one of the main mail con. tcntions, the lack of consideration, the disregard of whether it ever gets here or not. and the other is the outlying sections.
 Millions are spent annually by Mr. Burlesou in extending the rural free delivery service in the states. Farmers with their own automobiles living an hour or two from town that would as soon take joy ride in the evening to get their mail, are not permitted to do it. They must have it delivered at thct" doors. All farmers are not in posi- ton to run to town every evening but today a great many of them are and they would be glad to get their neigh bor's letters or papers for him, too, if there was no rural free delivery.
 Yet the farmer is entitled to that delivery, and, if he is, thG-.rospector and settler of the remote corners Of Alaska are a thousand times more

POWDER RIVER,
LET Err BUCK,
War SLOGAN

HELENA, Mont, May (by Asso-
ciated Press) Powder River, Let
'er Buck" battle cry of the ninety
first, Wild West division, composed
of Montana, Washington, Oregon and
California troops, is the old war cry
of the Montana cowboy. Before it
rang on the Argonne, it had been
heard for more than fifty years from
the Rio Grande to the Canadian line,
in many a hard fought battle
To grasp the significance of the cry,
one must master bit Of geography.
The Powder river rises in northern
Wyoming and crosses the Montana
line near Graham in the newlycreated
Powder River county, to pass through
that county, Custer and Prairie, in
which it flows into the Yellowstone
river, between Blatci,ford and Kamm
Powder River, a mile wide and an
inch deep" was tho battle cry Of the
puncher-and abbreviated, as above 1t
became the battle cry of the Montana
soldier in the great war. In the days
when the west was the west and the
puncher reigncd supreme cowboys
were migratory. There we're few who
did not know the Powder river. It is
the cowman's ideal of stream.
1t is nowhere mile wide, of course
except in flood; and it is everywhere
more than an inch deep-though II
does sometimes threaten to dry uI
altogether, in torrid seasons. But il
is sluggish wide and shallow. Here
cattle may winter in it without peril
Swift, deep rivers means loss Of stock
and consequent worry to punchers.
1t was, moreover, landmark-or
water mark, perhaps it should be
called. Flowing through the great
stretch of plateau prairie in northern
Wyoming and southern Montana, i
could be seen from any low Butte
y
puncher who had lost his way aftel
a long day in the saddle, after strays
could lope up hill and locate him
self by it's waters.
Whatever the cause the cowman al
class knew and loved the Powder
river. Those were rough days, Skin
mishes and pitched battle between
! the COW outfits were common. Gradu-
ally the Montana puncher Ae&an to
adopt Powder River, Let 'er Buck
as his cry.
The cry entered politics. The east
ern, the Cow" counties, began to use
the cry at political meetings and raj
lies Then came the Spanish war and
Montana sent due per cent of punch
ers into Roosevelt's Rough Riders.
