WILSON IS MISSED

No matter what ones political faith may be-. al must agree that President Wilson's guiding hand ia missed at the present time. It was Wilson who time and time again show ed the way for various settlements during the peace conference at Paris. Since his return Co the United States he has always been the one man who na, been a steering committee Of one for all difficulties. His presence at th" present National Industrial conference .n Washington, is sadly missed, for he r., a man ot convictions and when he has points Co make, they are given from the shoulder. The dispatches yes .,rGay stated he was opposed Co the
 Industrial conference adjourning at present. trouble having arisen over rabor'- demands for arbitration in thu steel strike. The steel strike k not th" yaN important matter to come hcfor" ,nr conferences. Wi,h the President at tho conference. some way would hav" b.an devised by now for better condi. tons in che industrial world.

It is said that money for any lcgitimat, proposition can be raised in Valdez quicker than in any other city in Alas ka. This k to be commended for that is the spirit that counts, trust ;n your own section and back it with the coin and others will follow. And there are mines and fishing interests at Valdez.

WILL OF O. C.. LABEREE
 IS SAID TO BE INVALID

According to the Spokane Revir"., the will of O, C. Laberce, who was we'll known in Seward, iS invalid. The Review of recent date says:-
 TelegramS received here last night from Oregon disclose that children of the late O. C. Labcrcc are contesting the will probatcd in Klamath county and that Rose J. Laberec, their mother who divorced the pioneer mining and railroad man here, has sued at Port. land, declaring he concealed property valued at &26O,OOO when a property settlement was made.
 Both suits filed yesterday were against Anita Labcrec, the widow, who is cxecutrix under the will and is named to receive the estate. Benjamin K. Laberee of Seattle, and his sister, Gladys Kelly of Akron Ohio, aver that the will by their father, which was fil- cd for probate by Anita Labree, was obtained under dureSS and undue in- fluence of said Anita Laberee and her mother, one Vivian RhoadS. The will gives Mrs. Laberee the estate in Kla- math county valued at more than S100000. It includes HOO acres of farm land
 Mrs. Rose Laberee ayers that the property was accumulated during their 9 years of married life and that when the property settlement was made she knew of no other prop erty. She learned when her son be- gan to investigate recently that, short ly after the contract was executed $260,000 was realized by MT. Labree on transactions growing out of tho sale of the Alaska Northern railroad.
 Mrs. Laberee ayers that her huS. band took the funds derived from the concealed property and obtained HOO acres of land in Klamath county and personal property valued at S25,000.
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1919-10-16

She ayers she believed Mir. Laberee gave his second wife money before anI after their marriage Mrs. Labc- .en asks the court to give her thn share of the property she alleges she should have had in the settlement.
 Anita Laberee is also asked to an Swcr aumbcr of questions, including what money was giyen her by o. C.. Labcree.
