WICKERSHAM, THE FIGHTER

Upon one thing 1t safely can be said that Alaskans are agreed. Ere ouent demonstrations, as judge, dele gate and politician, during the past dozen years, have supplied con vincing evidence of the fact that James Wickersham is fighter. The greater part of his time, since he first journeyed to Washington as Alaska's delegate to congress, has been devoted to fighting some thing or somebody, and not few of his admirers have continued to cast their votes for him, year after year. because of the punch that was ever ready of delivery. It was enough for them to know that Wick ersham could fight. They admired him and voted for him because of his aggressiveness, disregarding motives and the risks of i'll advised and excessive fighting. The noise of the fray, when Wickersham start ed something. had a way of dim ming issues and camouflaging per sonal attacks.
 While it is possible that some of this fighting has been well intended, the News is of the opinion that there has been entirely too much of 1t. Attacks directed against ad- ministration officials and heads of departments have resulted, in years gone by, in the withholding of funds which should have been made avail able for development purposes in Alaska ten years of personally con- ducted war on the Guggenheims finds them more strongly entrench- ed than ever in Alaska. Col. Rich ardson, engaged for an equally long period in defensive warfare opposed by the delegate from Alaska, has retired from the fray with honor, and the major portion of territorial road building continues to be done under the direction of the Alaska Road commission. of which Col. Richardson was directing head dur ing his long term of service in the North. And Thomas Riggs. Jr., against whom Wickersham started a fight while Riggs was still a member of the Alaskan Engineering commission. has emerged from the battle as governor of the territory Throughout all his campaigns Wick. ersham has maintained his reputa- ton as fighter, but he has failed to get results-failures which have seemed to intensity his lust for battle rather than to dismay him. Alaskans have shown that they ad- mire a fighter, but they are only human-there is limit to their ad- miration. And the time has come for Wickersham to show them that his fighting is worth while.
 The reasonableness of the latest Wickersham attack, directed against Secretary Lane and the Alaskan Engineering commission is not ap- parent, and it will be hard to con- vince Alaskans that any good will come of it. In fact, we very much doubt if it is aintended to result in benefit to the territory It has more the appearance of a personal attack on the governor and we are forced to the belief that our fight ing former delegate would not hesi- tate to upset the whole railroad or, ganization if, by so doing, he could dlscredit or embarrass the chief executive of the territory. He would stop the work or railroad building at time when Alaskans are striving to recover from the i'll effects of the war, for no other reason than to call attention to alleged mistakes and mismanage ment of one who is no longer identi-

Well. maybe you have guessed
since yesterday who sent the Off.
cial letter. Well 1t was from Prince
Charles-now King Charles. In the
letter the king told how he had been
offered the throne by his faithful
followers a few days after Captain
Brave has rescued him from the at.
tack of his enemies. In fact the
attack on his life was a final effort
on the part of his enemies to kill
him, as they knew at that time that
nothing could prevent his men from
placing him in power.
So now King Charles and his wife
Queen May, had come into their
own again. He was back in the
big castle in his own kingdom and
Queen May, with whom the child
ron had fallen in love on their
visit to the Azores, was wearing
the quoenly robes she had told the
children so much about.
He ended his letter by telling
Captain Brave that he would feel
offended if the Captain and Lady
dear and Jack and Jane failed to
visit him right away so that he
could return some of the kindness
they had shown him. For Captain
Braves benefit he enclosed direc
tons as to how to reach the little
kingdom and the castle in 1t.
The children were eager to 60 i'm
mediatcly. Captain Brave and
Ladydcar talked the matter over
fol- a few minutes and then de-
cided, much to the children's de-
light, to start Immediately for King
Charles home.
1t was late by the time the chill
dren had heard all the news, and
they were wondering If Captain
Brave would make them wait until
tomorrow morning to start for the
Kings castle, but Captain Brave
had no such intention. They de-
cided to take Jeanne with them,
too-the little French orphan whom
Captain Brave and Ladydear had
brought home with them from
France. Captain Brave explained to
the little French girl that they
would lie coming back to France
after their visit to the King and
would then continue the search for
her parents.
Perhaps some Of the kind folk
who have tried to help us find your
mother will learn something OF her
while we are gone," he said.
Jeanne showed the children the
pretty things that LAdydear had
bought for her. They were prettier
than anything she had ever had,
even before the war came. There
was a pretty white dress with lots
of lace on 1t for real dress-up oc-
casions, lots of play dresses, coat
and hat, and shoes and stockings !
and other things like Jane had.
They were put away in the air
plane with James clothes and the
little group got all ready to start.
AS soon as the airplane left the
ground and was we'll on its way, |
Ladydear tucked the little folks in
to bed with the news that by the |
time they woke up in the morning
the airplane would be in the little
kingdom and nearing the castle.
Ladydear and Captain Brave took
turns guiding the airplane through
the night. 4
When the children ,awoke in the
airplane the next morning and
gazed out of the windows they saw

LAUGHING BILL AND SIGNING
JACK!


JACK!
Up the road went laughing Bill,
Jumped the gate and climbed the
hill!
Never noticed rain was falling
Only heard the moorland calling!
Never noticed frogs a-croak-
Was so full of fun and Joke!
Never minded wind and squall-
Loved the seasons, one and all
Storms might beat-but laughing
Bill
Jumped the gate and climbed the
hill!
Down the lane went signing Jack,
Spent some moments looking back
Groaned at sun and growled at
heat
Never noticed flowers were sweet!
Never heard the merry song
Birds were trilling, clear and
strong!
Never marked the wealth of life
In the springtime-hedges rife!
Paused and grumbled-lazy, slack
Down the lane went signing Jack.
On the summit, laughing Bill!
In the vale Jacks signing still!

applied to other industries.
Mr.. Stone appeared before the COM
mittee at the hearing of the Plumb
plan for railroad control by the pub
lie, the operating arrangements and
labor.
Mr.. Stone said the railway brother
hoods were bitterly opposed to the old
system of railway control. If the
Plumb plan is rejected, it would be
the policy of labor, he added, to ere
ate enough sentiment in and out of
congress to force it's adoption.
With equal frankness, members of
the house interstate commerce COM
mittee indicated during the examina-
ton that tn bill, embodying what has
come to be known as the Plumb plan,
was too radical, and failed to strike
at the high-price evil against which

For more than a month the house
committee has been considering all
plans for solution of the problems con-
fronting the roads with their return to
private management, and the Plumb
proposal was offered with the assur-
ance of labor leaders that it would
cut down prices of commodities be-
cause of the reduction in rates which
would follow the elimination OF prl-

AMERICANS DENIED
RIGHTS IN MEXICO.
cARRANZA REFUSES TO PERMIT
OIL DRILLING ON AMERICAN
OWNED LANDS.
Compliance With Laws Laid Down
BY Mexican Dictator Would Mean
That Investors Give Up Lands
to Mexican Government.

Washington.-The Mexican govern
ment has committed an overt act Of
ronfiscation in preventing American
oil well drivers to work on lands owned
by American individuals or companies
by sending soldiers into the fields and
driving away the workmen, state de-
partment officials said Tuesday. Com
plant was made to, the Mexican gov
eminent on April 2 of this year, it was
learned, against the refusal of the
government to grant permits to the
Dill companies to drill. No answer was
received until after Juarez incident,
It was said, and then President Car
rama announced no permits, provision
al or otherwise, would be granted
until the companies had complied with
the law. Compliance with the law, it
was said by state department Off
Gals, would constitute recognition by
the companies that the Mexican gov
eminent owned the oil lands.
The orders to the military forces
to prevent drilling by force of arms
were issued by President Carranza
last May 16, according to advices from
Mexico City on July 1. The petro-
leum department instructed the Next
can war department, by direct orders
of Carranza, to use any forces neces-
sary to prevent drilling without per-
NIT, although the lands on which drill
Ing was being done had been legally
acquired by the present owners.
The war department transmitted the
orders with specific directions as to
action to be taken by the soldiers to
the military commanders at Tampico
and Tuxpam and Immediately compan-
les of soldiers were sent into the
fields. 1t is not known how many
gangs were driven out of the oil fields.

Protect Stacks
and Buildings

"Misfortunes. never come singly."
says the old proverb, and now when
crops are scarce and prices high is a
poor time to lose property by fire.
The risk Of fire is greater in these
very dry times when all vegetation
is ready to blaze at the touch of a
match. There are many ways for a
blaze to start, and few ways to stop
it while the bitches are dry and water
low in the wells. Smokers smoke
more since the war and nobody seems
to think they are any more careful
about where they drop their fire.
In many homes the matches are kept
where children can reach them and
almost every summer somebody has
that sad experience Of finding stacks
afire and the children playing with
matches.

now, and guard against fires in every
way we can. IT,.

Hay Growers and
Stock Men Disagree

A meeting of stock men and hay
growers of the counties of Madison,
Jefferson, Bonneville and Bingham
met at Idaho Falls Monday, Aug. II
to get together on the prices and
measurements of hay for stock. 3The
growers made an offer to adhere to
$40 per ton, which was not agreeable
to the stockmen.
Both parties of men denounced in
strongest terms the activities of
spectators who buy up hay from the
farmers at low prices and hold it for
sale at, high prices. They made up
resolution to this effect asking the
state and federal authorities to in
vestigate such activities.
The hay men stuck to their price
of 500 for 1000 pounds and also
passed a resolution that it should be
$40 a ton with 422 feet as measure
ment basis after November 1.
The meeting ended late in the day
with no agreement between the stock
men and hay growers, but with
friendly understanding.

Places Where Parties
May Go For Pleasure
Continued from last issue)
In the Land of Mysteries.

The big desert holds within its
lavabeds, more wondrous things than
any but few Adventures know
about. Parties that go out for day
and wander at random over the UNI
dulating lavas with their crevices and
crevasses, the caverns, cliffs, craters,
fireholes, broken down builders and
frozen streams Of lava that cooled
and hardened in their march, come
back into camp expressing amaze
ment and all anxious to tell all the
others they meet, of the perfectly
wonderful things they saw over
where they have been. When each
one finds out that he or she has seen
only part of the wonders of that
wonderland, and that it does not mat
ter which way they go, wonderland
will open up before them, they go
home and neglect to get up other
parties to 60 out exploring again.
The big desert is at it's best in May
and June, but it has it's charms in
autumn when all nature seems rest
ing and the wierd trees and shrubs,
having. ignored or resisted the drouth
of the summer months, defy its
powers, like the camel resting in the
shifting sands, ignores the desert
drouth, confident of shaking it's thirst
