The changes during his administration have been far be- low the six years average There has been but two Presidents without having to make Cabl- appointments but once, President William Henry Harrison and President Franklin Pierce. and Harri- son served but one month. Pierce was the only President to serve full with the same Cabi- net that he appointed when he entered office. Presi- dent Taylor had change in the ten months tha; he served President.
 President Wilson has been much fortunate than President Roosevelt President Mckinley, or than President Washington and his record thus far is ahead of Cleveland's. Washington had nine Cabi net changes during the eight years he was Presi- dent notwithstanding that there were only five Cabi net members at that time as against ten in Wilson'' Cabinet. Mckinley had seven changes in the little over four years he served President, and Cleve land had seven changes in eight years Presiden. Roosevets Cabinet the most restless of all Cabi- nets. In seven and half years he had three Sec retaries State three secretaries of the Treasury Secretaries of War, two Secretaries of the In terior Secretaries of the Navy five Postmaster General, three Attorneys General and three Secre tares of Commerce and Labor. He finished witt only one Cabinet officer with whom he started Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture who served through four administrations in the sam DOSitiOn making Cabinet record.
 Jackson had twelve Cabinet changes in eigh years and Lincoln in four years. John Quincl Adams had but change, and Polk and Taft eacl had two changes These follow Perce's Cabinet, il which there change, for stability.

YukOn's Future
(Lt. Col. Alfred Thompson, M D. Yukons
 Member of Parliament.)

Member of Parament)
 It is nearly quarter of century since gold was discovered in the Klondike, and much water has the Klondike river emptied into the Yukon river since transported by the Yukon river enrich the wealth of the world
 In the twenty-three years which have elapsed since the discovery the Klondike camp has had tho usual fluctuations in fortune which to mining camps in general The methods, too, of winning the gold have changed with the years. The rocker made way for the shart and dump and sluicebox; this to the open-cut and sef-dumper this to the dredge and hydraulics. The thawing, too, changed from wood fires to steam thawing thawng in open-cut by the sum- and now to cold water thawing. Each change with the idea of being able to work lower grade gravels and thus broadening the basis of the paysreak. With combination of steam thawing in the Spring and cold water thawing in the Summer, it is likely that gravels will be worked that could not have been worked few years ago.
 By tng the soil it has been demonstrated that the Yukon valley grow vegetables and grains to support large population. One thing yet remains to be done in this line. That is to develop fodder plant to take the place of timothy hay and thus grow our own feed for stock It may be that the yellow lowered Siberian alfalfa will yet do this
 As the purchasing power of gold returns to the normal it will be easier to capital to develop our mineral resources.
 We have territory largely undeveloped but with great possibilities and much easier to develop than it the first Discovery Day. Then this section was primeva wilderness. Now have of mining laws and all the concomants of modern !ife that it is much easier today develop any new discovery than it was in 1896. We need more prospectors to make finds and capital to develop the finds now hace. And it is just by such Discovery Day exhibi- Iof the Dawson News that we can assist in getting both.

WICKERSHAMS COWARDICE COSTS
 ALASKA SERVICE

Delegate Grigsby is coming to Alaska to take testimony in the Delegateship election contest He will be absent from Washington for 40 to 50 days while Congress is in session. The Delegate woult much prefer spend this time in Washington working for Alaska. If Judge Wickersham had ac cepted the challenge of MT Grigsby last Spring. te go before the people of Alaska and let them decide the by their votes the question would have settled long time ago, and the Delegate woud be in Washington devotng his entire time to Alaskas welfare Instead of that Judge Wickershan decided to attempt to wirepu a partisan decision from Congress to set aside the majority vote that was given Delegate Sulzer in 1918 and give Wick ersham the seat Aaskas Representative in Con gress, whether Alaskans wanted it not and to deprive Alaska of much of the services of her Dele gate by compelling him to devote time to defending the right of the people to choose their own Repre- sentative that ought given the needs of tho Territory This is one of the results of Wickershami cowardice.

FISH AND GAME DISTRIBUTED
Trout Placed in Streams and Pheasant
Eggs Being Matched.

The Game and Fish Protective As
ISOLATION of this county, through the
aid of the State Conservation Commits
sion, has recently distributed to the
streams of the county eighty thousand
rainbow trot which were shipped
here from the state hatchery at Lew
iston, Frederick county.
The local association has also placed
with the farmers and bird fanciers
three hundred ring neck pheasant
eggs which are now being Matched
out and these birds will be distributed
to the wooded areas of the county.
The failure of the Conservation
Commission to secure live birds for
distribution prompted them to resort
to the method of furnishing the eggs
instead and as a result, with proper
protection, the country people should
soon have the forests plentifully
stocked with these beautiful game
birds.

ton and reelection at the hands of his
party adherents in the county. Mr..
White is successfully engaged in the
mercantile business at Loeb Lynn at
the present time in which community
as well as elsewhere in the county he
has hosts of friends and admirers.
His past experience as a member of
the House will give him a degree of
prestige, for be it said, he left An
napolis with more friends in the Cen
eral Assembly than he had when he
first appeared at the State capital.
Another candidate for Legislative
honors is Mr.. A. D. Naylor, of Oak
land. Mr.. Naylor has been a resident
of the town since early in the eighties
at which time he came here a compar-
atiye young man and a stranger to all
except one or two of those now living
here. Through untiring industry and
determination to succeed Mr.. Nay
Tor has become one of the leading bus
mess men and argestproperty owners
in the county. He is prominently
identified with all that tends to ele-
vate the morals of the community
as well as of the county and state. Mr..
Naylor would make most creditable
representative of the people of Gar
rett county at Annapolis.

ficient Register of Wills, who has had
years of experience in the Office and is
therefore peculiarly fitted for the po-
sition, makes formal announcement
in today's Republican of his candidacy
for denomination at the primary upon
the Republican ticket. Mr.. Friend has
made an excellent record for himself
as public official, giving his undi-
vided attention to the duties incum-
bent upon him, which are manifold
and extremely important.

Much Damage Done by Storm

The storm which swept over the Sell
bysport section of this county on last
Thursday evening did much damage
to crops and buildings. On the farm
of Mr.. Ulysses Frazee, located on the
edge of Selbysport town, the damage
as result of the storm was the
greatest, where trees were uprooted
in the apple orchard, the roof of his
dwelling was blown off and the large
barn on the farm was nearly carried
from its foundation The building
was so badly twisted out of plumb
that the doors had to be taken from
their hinges before they could be op-
eped. At the old Matthews burying
ground the storm lifted large monu-
ment weighing one and a-half tons
off its base; it also snapped off two
large pine trees, carrying them dis
lance of hundred feet from their
original place.

LIST IS TIGHTENING
Candidates are Still Coming to the
Front for Political HonOrs


The political announcement column
of The Republican this week has been
heightened by the addition of the
cards of several political aspirants
and there are yet quite number to
come forward, their modesty alone
being the cause of their backward
ness in having their names appear in
the public print.
Mr.. Herbert V. Leighton, of Loeb
Lynn Heights, until recently a mer-
chant at that place, but for the past
two years or more a most progress
sive farmer, is in the race for the
nomination for County Commissioner.
AS a business man Mr.. Leighton has
been successful. He has built up a
name for himself in the community
wherein he lives for fair and square,
upright, honorable dealings with his
fellow-men, through a number of
years of active business life. He was
born and reared upon a farm where
he learned from experience the needs
of the farmer and later being engaged
in the more intensive business life he
took with him into this new school
that which he had already acquired
and added to it, until today Mr. Leigh
ton is acknowledged to be one of the
most progressive and trustworthy
business men in this whole section of
the county.
For Judge of the Orphans Court,
one of those now in the Office in the
person of Judge Charles S. Harvey,
aspires to succeed himself. With the
experience of the years that have
gone by and that which one attains
through contact with others, Judge
Harvey is exceedingly we'll qualified
to continue in the office which he has
so well graced.
Mr.. Albert T. White, of Loeb Lynn
Heights, member of the last Legis-
lature, where he commanded the re-
spect and confidence of his fellow
members not alone from Garrett, but
also from the other counties of the
state, and of both political parties,
is an avowed candidate for renomina-
