 Lost Prospector

Reports have been received from Chisana of the discovery of a mans belongings sixty miles below Chisana by Jack Lawrence while on his way up river with his dogs; and the fact that A. H. Behrman, who left Nc Carthy in May last on a prospecting trip, has not been seen since he left Chisana in June, make it probable that another prospector has lost his life crossing the swift streams of Alaska. This young man, who was the son of J. w. Behrman of Kenne- wick, Wash, was employed by the Kennecott corporation last winter, and left with Lysle Brown in May, travelled as far as Chisana in his company, then went on alone, saying he intended to travel to Fairbanks. The News mas written to Fairbanks to ascertain if by chance the young man has reached there, though Jack Lawrence met no one on his trip oyer that route.

Fifteen Hundred Going to
Columbus, o. for Cele-
bration.

Fifteen hundred soldiers of the Thir-
ty-second division, which saw active
overseas service, passed through Fair
mont at noon today direct from New
York city, having recently landed
there from Germany. There were
three trains, pulling through the sta
ton at 1890, 1855 and 1920 O'Clock,
each having been provided with thir.
teen Pullman coaches and a baggage
car, the War department paying more
attention to the wants of the men
than when they were taken to the can
tonments.
In each baggage car the commissary
department was on the job and a roar
ing fire kept the soup and coffee good
and hot. The soldiers are bound for
Columbus, o., where they will partici-
pate in celebration on Friday. From
Columbus they will go to Camp Sher-
man, Chillicothe, o.. where they will
be honorably discharged.
On the first train theer was Fair
mont boy-Thomas Evans, nephew of
w. B. Evans, of the Consolidation
Coal company. There perhaps were
other West Virginia boys In the troops
but the majority Of the soldier boys
are from Ohio. Most of them wear
two service stripes.

Of advertising and sound business

Before the store was opened for
business this morning there were doz-

nine o'clock the interior was SO
crowded there was barely enough
room to move about. AS the day
passed the patrons were constantly
moving in and out and on the basis
of business volume alone this must
have been one Of the greatest days In
the history OF Mr.. Harrison's estab.
lishment. Several times It was neces.
sary to close and lock the doors so
those inside could be properly waited
on and in the meantime the gathering
would take place waiting for the doors
to be reopened.

COP. Campaign
WILL CONE
FROM THE PEOPLE
No Contribution Larger
Than $1,000 Will Be
Accepted.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Chairman
Hays of the Republican National com.
mittee, has announced no contribution
of more than $1,000 would be received
from any one for the financing of the
coming Republican campaign and
launched a countrywide small indi-
vidual subscription.
The new plan marks the passing of
great campaign contributions from
corporations and individuals long the
subject OF attack by the Republican
party's political opponents. The new
plan, Mr. Hays announced involves the
Capitalization of money raising into
the very smallest contributions from
the smallest units of territory. The
chairman will outline the new plan in
detail at conference here tomorrow
and Friday with the Republican state
chairman.
Everyone recognizes the necessity
of meeting Legitimate campaign ex-
penses," said Mr.. Hays. There is Just
one way for this money to be provided
and that is by means Of small contri-
buttons from the great membership OF
the party. This plan will be followed
completely. A general committee of
ways and means, acting with Mr.. Up
ham, the treasurer. will carry this
work into each state and into the cit
les and towns with a definite organi-
zation for the raising of money. The
purpose will be to get small contribu-
tions from great many members of
the party. 1t is the plan to have these
sustaining contributions run from
year to year and in amounts from one
dollar up. No contribution Of more
than a thousand dollars will be re.
ceived from any one"
Chairman Hays added that the
financing of the Republican campaign
would be an open book and that it
would accord with the best spirit OF
the campaign publicity laws of the ma
ton and the states.
