SNOW TRACTORS ARE PUT ON MARKET BY
 FORMER ALASKANS

The snow tractor and motor is the latest machine offered for winter transportation in snow countries. It is being manufactured in Seattle. and offered to the public by local capitalists, some of whom are former Alaskans. L. A. Levensaler the well, known mining engineer, of Tacoma, is president of the company, F. l. Boucher, Jack Hesse and others known in the north are connected with the manufacturing company.
 The motor is designed to haul trailers of the bobsled type, guaran- teed to handle five or more tons, al speed of from eight to fifteen miles an hour. The body of the motor re- sembles the typical automobile and. instead of wheels, the propelling pow CT is furnished by four large barrel shaped drums with spiral-shaped skates located on the face of these drums in the manner and at the point dictated by scientific construction The two forward drums, left and right, are conical-shaped so as to gradually press or lay trail of hard snow on which the skates take their

grip or tractive pull. The height of the tractive pull is developed at the rear end of the forward drums and the front end of the rear drums, al lowing the tractor at all times to be nicely balanced for uneven country work. Oseillating channels have been placed fore and aft on these drums, permitting a vertical travel of eigh- teen inches, which allows an even continuance of tractive power with out strain when gullies or obstruc- ti0ns are encountered. The action of these propelling drums may be lik- ened to that of ships screw, or better yet, to an ordinary screw conveyor.
 Mir Hecse says: "These tractors have been tested for the past 3 years in all types of snow, one having been sent to Alaska, another to Michigan, and third to the Cascade Mountains in the State of Washington. The three test tractors have an aggregate mileage of 5,240 miles, and have sue cessfally negotiated all sorts of road conditions. both as freight carrying tractors and passenger conveyances.

ADMIRAL WATSON MAKES A "DRY" LANDING AT
 CITY OF ANCHORAGE

To the Admiral Watson, of the Pacific Steamship Companys fleet, has fallen the honor of being the first and only ocean-going vessel to land at the government dock at An chorage, according to Alaskans re turning from the Westward At this port ships are obliged to anchor in the rOadstead and land passengers and freight by means of lighters. But on the last trip of the Watson to the Westward, the vessel lost one of her propeller blades and Captain Robert Me Gilvray decided to take chance and lie up at the Anchorage dock for repairs. So he waited for high tide and then sailed boldly up to the dock, made his vessel snug and fast and waited for low tide
 The receding waters left the Wat son high and dry on the mud and the repairs were quickly completed At high tide the ship made a quick getaway. The big crowd of excur- sionsts aboard and the people of Anchorage enjoyed the novel ex- perience.

vasion of southern Illinois coal fields by
an 'insurgent army" to further the in
surgent strike cause has been sane

workers, said the projected march from
Belleville into Franklin, Williamson.
Saline and other counties was only "one
method to be used in acquainting miners
of the state with facts. He declared
the fight had resolved itself into cam

fellow officials because they had ceased
to represent the rank and file."

URGES FORCING PARLEy
Of CAPITAL AND LABOR
Senator Poindexter Declares Con-
ference Might Settle Controver-

Charging both capital and labor with
Inconsistency and narrowness in their

day that the government take some
steps to compel them to get together Tor
the purpose of reaching an understand

Such a conference. he said. might al

said that after the resolution had been
offered he had received communications
from President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, as well as
from manufacturers, expressing some
resentment because the resolution was
introduced without consulting them"
s"The representatives of organized in
dustries and labor" Senator Poindexter
said. don't want to confer with each
other and for that reason the govern
ment ought to take some steps to bring
them together"

Jenny Wren Gossips About
Hummer.

AS Peter Rabbit sat staring up at the
tiny nest of Hummer the Humming-
bird which he had just discovered
Jenny Wren came along Being quite
worn out with feeding of her seven
babies. Jenny was content to rest for
a few minutes and gossip. Peter told
her what he had discovered.
Il know all about that" retorted
Jenny You don't suppose / hunt
these trees over for food without
knowing where my neighbors are liv-
ing. do you: I'd have you to un-
derstand that that is the daintest
nest in the Old Orchard. 1t is made
wholly of plant down and covered on
the outside with bits of that gray
mosslike stuff that grows on the
bark of the trees and is called lichen.
That is what makes that nest look
like nothing more than a knot on a
branch. Chatterer the Red Squirrel
made big mistake when he visited
this tree. Hummer may be a tiny
fellow but he isn't afraid of any
body under the sun. That bill of his
is so sharp and he is quick that
few folks ever bother him more than
once. Why. there isn't a single MEM
ber of the Hawk family that Hummer
won't attack. There isn't a coward
ly feather on him
Does he go very south for the
winter" asked Peter. He is such
tiny fellow l don't see how the can
stand such a long journey"
Huh" exclaimed Jenny Wren,
distance doesn't bother Hummer
any. You needn't worry about those
wings OF his. He goes clear down
to South America, where he has ever
so many relatives. You ought TO
see his babies when they first hatch
out. They are no bigger than bees.
But they certainly do grow fast
They are flying three weeks from the
time they hatch. I'm glad don't

DUAL RAILROAD PLAN
PROPOSED BY mr.. BRYAN
Nebraskan Tells House Committee
Federal Government Should
Own Skeleton Trunk Line.

Dual ownership of railroad lines by
state and federal governments was
proposed by William Jennings Bryan
to the House committee on interstate
and foreign commerce yesterday as a
solution of the railroad reorganiza-
tion problem. He denounced private
ownership of the railroads as inde-
fensible and intolerable. He char
acterized the railroad magnates as po-
litical corruptioniSts.
I'VE have never tried government
ownership" declared Mr.. Bryan, re-
ferring to the railroad administra-
tion. "A subsidized newspaper never
thinks to tell that the government
took over the railroads when the pri-
vate owners could not run them. The
government has been only in tempo
rary control, and the roads in the
hands of those who wanted to see
government ownership fail so they
could get the roads back" ,
Mr.. Bryan advocated that the fed
eral government own skeleton
trunk line system, reaching into every
state, which in turn would own the
other carriers within the state bound
aries. His plan. he estimated. would
cost the government four or five bill
lion dollars, while state ownership
would be decided blythe people, who
might decide for temporary private
ownership.

CONSIDERS JEWISH PLEA
FOR UNIVERSAL LIBERTY
Peace Conference Also Has Name Of
Republic Which Will Have
Jerusalem as Capital.

CHICAGO. August SO.-The peace
commissioners still sitting in Paris
have the Jewish appeals for universal
civil liberty before them, and they
have also the name of the republic
which is to be formed with Jerusalem
as its capital city. American Jews
are to meet in Chicago in two weeks
in part to push Jewish plans for lib
erty everywhere, and in part to for
mulate. conditions on which American
Jews will support projects in Pales-
tine.
The name Palestine does not suit
Jews. Neither does Holy Land. Some
favor the Republic of Judea, but 9TH
ers oppose it because it sounds too
eligious. Above all, Jews are anx-
ious to avoid even the appearances of
trying to set up state founded on
religion.
1t is now said that the name most
generally favored. and to be laid be-
fore. the Paris commission. is the Re
public of Eretz Yirroel, which means
Land of Israel. 1t is said this name
will be. given in. the legal papers in
cooperating the University of Jerusa-
lem, which is to be the seat of the
cultural part of the new republic, and
