ocratic committee, is in receipt of a
protest from p. II. Stoll. of Kingstree
OF the late congressional election re-

turns, but the one Dillon box reported
late Thursday gives Sherwood lead

IOWA LEGISLATURE
 TO PASS ON BOXING

DES MONIES, Ia.-There is a strong possibility that the Iowa legislature. which convened Janu- ary IS, will be asked to legalize boxing and appoint commission to supervise the sport.
 With an army cantonment ad- joining the city, boxing has flour ished here for more than year, although in the past few months it has been on the wane, due mainly to several disappointing bouts.
 It is said that a law similar to that in force in Minnesota would be satisfactory to Iowa ring fans, with bouts limited to either ten or twelve rounds.

MONTANA WILL FEEL LOSS Of
 WAR ACTIVITY

HELENA, Mont.-The close of the war is likely to have only a slightly perceptible effect on in- dustries of Montana, so far as most of the states business activities are concerned, it is believed by state officials here Although it's copper mines, as we'll as those producing lead and coal, probably were work ed to greater extent than if there had been no war, it is not expected that slackening of the demand for these products will cause material falling off in the production soon.
 As far as agriculture is con cerned, the high prices for wheat and the government guarantee had the effect of inducing the farmers of the state to plant larger acre age of grain with the result that
  have been broken which, except for the war probably would not have been put under the blow. With the returning soldiers of this and other states who are expected to seek opportunities on the farm, it is eX- pected that this agricultural de- velopment will continue.
 Montana had few of what are usually termed war industries, said Charles D. Greenfield, Sr., sec retary of the state council of de- fense "There was but one in- dustry established in the state solely by reason of the war.
 "This was the mining and treat ment of manganese ore. In the Butte district and also at Philippis- burg, in western Montana, there are large deposits of manganese. These were opened up, concentrat- ing plants were erected and the product shipped to eastern steel mills.
 ''The Anaconda Copper Mining company built plant at Great Falls for the purpose of running out of ferro-manganese, but the armistice was signed before a pound of metal was shipped"
 Although the war demand for labor has resulted in the employ ment of some 2,OOO women in places of men in various industries, ac7. cording to the estimate of tine state industrial accident board, it is not expected that more 3han half of them will retain such places, tfe board has estimated. Women em- ployed especially in the heavier handlers, engine wipers and car cleaners, are expected to be re- placed shortly by men.

OUR FRIENDS, THE ENEMY

Those familiar with the past activ- ities of John Bull-aine can readily understand why he is now at Wash ington opposing the Alaska railroad. He has lot of town property at Seward which has not increased in value so rapidly as he desired it should, and he is sore at the Alas kan Engineering commission because of the lack of interest displayed by the railroad builders in the Bull aine holdings. For no other reason that we have been able to learn, he has accused the members of the commission of being almost every thing other than railroad builders, and he would stop all further cx- penditures, if he could, just to em- barrass the men against whom he has directed his attacks. He for gets, seemingly, that the United
 
 States is building the railroad to make possible the development of Interior Alaska's resources; that the enterprise was conceived and pro noted by Interior Alaskans, long before Seward entered into the con sideration as d possible terminal l; and that Interior Alaskans are not going to sit quiet now, with the ends of steel separated by only years construction, and permit such as he to block construction. The railroad means too much to Interior Alaska.
 More difficult of understanding is the opposition of the Seward Chamber of Commerce, reports of which have reached Nenana during the week Such an attitude on the part of a town which has much to gain through railroad construction to"dEu thc ihlelioi ID hioSiCdl anu manifestly unfair, not only to the people of Interior Alaska but also to the residents and property own CTS of Seward, and the only con- clusion that can be drawn is that the members of the chamber are on the Bull-aine payroAsrrare talk ing orders from interests which arc opposed to government ownership of railroads. Surely the attitude of the chamber does not represent true Seward sentiment.
 Whatever may be the object ot the Seward attacks it is to be hoped that Interior Alaskans can muster sufficient strength to overcome tn, opposition, and prevail upon tn, present congress to appropriate {; sufficient amount to complete tn, railroad. It is relief from existin. oppressive transportation conditions that Interior Alaska needs, and tha relief is assured through the earl, completion of the government rail road.
