Here to Help.

There are good fellows In Boise,
lots of them. They want to exercise
that inherent trait which makes them
good fellows, and express the friendly,
helpful, CHEEKY feeling of good fellow
ship, at Christmas time. They have
said so. They wonder if there isn't an
opportunity for them to make sure
that all the home in Boise will be
bright and cheerful on Christmas day
and during the holidays, just as their
own homes will be.
; A good fellow is one who can't sit
down in perfect contentment at his
own family board to a bountiful
Christmas dinner If he has the uneasy
presentiment that many other families
are not going to have the good things
that ought to be on all tables on
well in advance of the holiday and
finds way in which he can help to
place on all those other tables a real
PIAN is PROPOSED.
The fact that the good fellows of
Boise feel this way and want to do
something of this kind, has been
brought to the attention of the Capital

where to find those whose Christmas
dinners are apt to be slender, except
for the boost the Army and its friends.
the Good Fellows, are going to give.
The Army makes a special effort ev-
cry Christmas to secure funds and fill
baskets for these families. In n few
days, on the street corners, will be seen
the Army's Christmas kettles. which
will receive contributions for this pur-
pose. And after eight or 10 days, the
gifts so received will be turned into
chickens and other meat flour, vege-
tables and other eatables for these dim
ners.
NO SPECIAL CAMPAIGN.
But the gifts that reach the Army
by means of the kettles, hearted
and generous as they are, never are
enough in the aggregate to pay for the
food that is required. There is always
supplementary campaign to provide
the rest of the needed funds.
This year the supplementary cam
paign-special solicitation among old
friends and standbys-is not being
made. The officials of the Army have
decided not to make any direct appeal
for such fund, because the recent
campaign for home service brought
the Army's cause before the public
such "a short time ago.
As result a deficit in the Christ
mas dinner fund is going to result This

This affords the chance the Capital
News is going TO place before the Good

 Repudiates Former Work
 Representative Madden of Chicago Republican, called attention to tho glowing statements that Wickershan had made concerning the possibili ties of the Alaska railroad when the bill was pending making an approp riation for it.
 Wickersham responded:
 'T made great many of the statements *referred to as glow ing*%***I felt in a glowing mood when this matter was before Con gress at that time. do not have such healthy glow as l had then. '
 All of which makes clear that Alaska got her railroad appropria tion through Congress without the alu or WIckefSham.
 Shooting At Railroad
 Wickersham took two shots at the railroad before this speech wa made. One of them was a bill and the other a joint resolution Both were exactly tho same Notwith- standing that he contended it would cost from SS00O.O00 to $10,0O0, ,00o more than the originally provided $35,O0O,0OO to complete the railroad, both the bill and the resolution pro vided that the road should not cost to exceed the sum specified and that the President should not undertake to contract to expend any more. In other words. the effect of his bill and resolution would he to permit the expenditure of $4,O00,0OO more and then quit work with the railroad unfinished. It meant that or it meant nothing.

 This Morning.

SEATTLE. March 27.-The Pos: Intelligencer today published the sec end portion of former Delegate James Wickersham's letter attacking the Alaska Railroad Engineering Commission and Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr, and Franklin K. Lane, of the Department of the Interior
 In the letter published today. the former Delegate from Alaska, charg- cs that the Yukon and Panama steam ship companies entered into com bine against the Government rai,- road month after Congress had approved the act authorizing the construction of the road.
 He charged that a combine created a monopoly which resulted in an ex- tortionate policy in the rates of transportation. Wickersham ar raigned the Administration and charged it with profiteering against the shippers. He says the monopoly formed was a crime against the de- velopment of Alaska. He figures that the people of the Interior pay SIP per ton excess in freight.

for every man in the Legislature to use his business head. It is nee. essary, he said, to do away with the least necessary expenditures. Among these, he continued, is the Publicity Bureau. As far as the fisheries were concerned, he said that they did not want any more advertising, for they were already too many fishermen in the field, and that as far as ad- vertising the farming industry in Al. aska was concerned, the few farmers in the Matanuska Valley couldn't get market for their potatoes as it was.
 Senator Roman congratulated Sena- tor Heckman upon his position. and said that he, Senator Roman, had al. ways been opposed to the measure, but, before voting upon it, would like to hear from the Chief of the Bu- reau, MT. White.
 Senator Britt said that he agreed with Senator Hickman in tffat 1t was the business of the Legislature to save money for the Territory. But, he continued, the real questions were Does it pay to advertise? and "CanNwe create revenue for the Ter ritory by adyertising?" H
 "If we can," Senator Britt said, Tets advertise"
 Referring to advertising and the fishing industry in Alaska. Seuat0r Britt said he thought it was neees- sary as there were many branches of the fishing industry which hayA not been developed in the Territory such as the herring industry and cod fishing, =
 The only way to properly popu- late the First and Third Divisions, Senator Britt continued, was to got the individual fishermen to come to Alaska and make his home here.
 Alaska is vast storehouse 0e many resources and do believe that it will pay to advertise so as tQ get the people to come here and live"
 Senator Britt said that we do not want the Hooters" who came hers. make money in the fishing industry, and spend it all without the Terri tory. Alaska should be advertised as a home country. He called atten. tion to what foreign advertising had done for the Red River Valley coup try. years ago. and the advertising done abroad by Colorado.
 Senator Frawley said that he would like to hear from Speaker White, chief of the Bureau.
 Senator Hess said that if the Ter ritory could not afford the Publicity Bureau this year. all that 1t wpul9 be necessary for the Legislature t9 do would be to make DO sppropriG. ton for its maintenance.
 A recess was declared by the Com mittee of the Whole until 1;30, Whel MT. White would appear before th1 body.

 With the recommendation that it do not pass, the Committee on Fi nance reported on s. B. Is. by Sena tor Britt. The Act provided for an Alaska Development Fund for the purpose of encouraging the settle ment of Alaska and the building ul of the farming and fishing industries and aiding settlers, homeseekers, and fishermen in the Territory.
 On motion of Senator Heckman. the Senate went into a Committee of the Whole for the consideration of the daily file, with Senator Price in the chair.
 s. B. IT, by Senator Sutherland, which provided for the repealment of Chapter 56 of the Session Laws of 1917 relating to and regulating marriages and marriage licenses in the Territory, first came up for the consideration of the Committee of the Whole. President Frawley spoke for the bill. saying that it was his desire to do away with superfluous laws, and laws not being enforced. He said the Act passed in 1917 was one which was not being enforced in his part of the country. He said it was an unnecessary addition to the requirements of the Organic Act. The law had previously required that certificates of marriage be filed with the Commissioner within thirty days after the amrriage was performed.
 The 1917 Act required the issu ances of licenses in addition to that
 Senator Hess spoke against re- pealing the Act. On motion of Sena- tor Sutherland the bill was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
 s. B. 16, by Senator Hess, which provides for the repeating of the Primary Act, came next on the daily file, but, on motion of President Frawley, was placed at the foot of the calendar for later consideration.
 s. B. ?. by Senator Sutherland. which provides for the abolishing of the Publicity Bureau, was next )n the daily file.
