kETCHIkAN COUNCIL WANTS
 TERRITORY DIVIDED

recent Southeastern Alaska ex
 cfange reports that the Ketchlkan city
 council wants Alaska divided into two
 territories, one of which shall com
 prise the so-called Panhandle section
 and the other the mainland, which in-
 clpdes all of the remainder of the vast
 northern territory
 The ketchitan council contends thai
 las the panhandle of the territory,
 which includes Juneau, Douglas, Kct-
 cEikaan. Wrangell. Petersbnrg and other important centors. is compelled
 to furnish practically all of the taxes
 which go to maintain the territorial
 government, and as the legislators from the other divisions during the first four sessions of the Alaska legs- laturc have not seen fit to take this fact into consideration in making ap- proprations, the territory should be divided so that the revenues derived from the panhandle section will re- main at home. so to speak. The Iarticle quoting this beneficient view of things says: Each year the burden |of financial responsibility falls more and more to southeastern Alaska while lit is not given as much money for roads and trails as the other divisions.
 The council last night expressed the belief that the time has now arrived when the people of the panhandle would be much better off if they were separated from the mainland. The icity clerk was instructed to confer with the commercial club and com
 municate with each of tho cities in
 the First Division to see if some con-
 certed action could not be taken In-
 council that figures be compiled, show ing the amount of taxes collected in
 southeastern Alaska during the past six years, comparing them with the returns from the other divisions. With this the council wants a comparative
 statement of the appropriations made. which will show, the members believe. that the panhandle has been used un- fairly"
 The question of just how to go about the task of inducing congress to grant the First Division the right to secede from the rest of the territory on the score that 1t wants to apply tho first rule of charity to itself apparent fly caused some perturbation. but the lopinion was offered that congress should be asked toNauthorize an elec- tion, at which n referendum could Dc taken as to separating or continuing las part of the mainland. The Ketchi- kan council is evidently deeply im- pressed with the self determination principles, especially because of the be- II lief that It would make little difference whether the question were submitted | to referendum of the whole terri
 tory or simply the southeastern sec- tion, as In either case there are suffic- lient votes In. the southeast to carry tho election in favor of separation. The proposal is not new idea. of

votes in the opposition as in Hal
flax county. The secret of his
power was his indomitable cour-
age and that he asked so little
for himself. His glory was to
help his friends and in this light
there are so many who love to
think of him. And what a friend
he was! When he gave his
friendship, he was faithful loyal,
withstanding nothing, ready to
spend his time and himself, as
true a champion and as knightly
a defender as ever drew a sword
in a sacred crusade.
Those of his friends who have
been his neighbors and have en-
joyed the inestimable privilege
of being taken in the inner circle
of his companionsh;p knew his
qualities as a husband and faith
err.
He reared a large family and
his interest never tagged.
Thorough in his attainments him
self, he looked after and planned
the education of his children,
and nothing escaped this SUPER
visision, whether it was the task
of the beginner or the scholar
ship of the collegian. He always
dispensed an open handed hospi-
tality, and there were none more
delightful gatherings than his
entertainments of his congenial
friends in his home. Surround
ed by wife and children and
friends that understood and low
cd him, these were occasions to
be remembered.
Doctor Green will be thought
Of by more people as a physician.
For nearly forty-six years he
went in and out the homes of the
people of this section, white and
black, carrying healing in his
hands. Before the days of the
auto car and good roads, this
in his buggy, at all
hours, night and day, travelled
more miles than any other man
who has ever lived within its
borders. Is there any more en-

life, a stately column covered |
with a capstone that tells mutely
of suffering relieved and the ten
der mercy of ministration. This
is far better than the boarding
of wealth, nobler heritage to
leave to his children.
If he had considered the money
side of his calling, he would have
left large estate to his family,
but nothing was further from
his life. He always heard the
call of suffering and payment
was the last thing of which he
thought. Until stricken with

Relatives of Missing Man
Believe He Is Held Captive|
Search for G. w. Mendenhall, 70 Years Old, Wealthy
Retired Farmer, Who Disappeared Wednesday, Be-
ing Made on Theory He Is in Hands of Crooks

Search for c. w. Mendenhall,
who disappeared from his home last
Wednesday, is being made on the
theory that the missing man is be-
ing held by gang Of crooks, or
that he may have suffered a lapse
of memory from the effects of dope
surreptitiously administered.
The exemplary habits of Mr..
Mendenhall and his experiences
with stranger three weeks ago on
= train to Dunbar, Neb., lead his
relatives to believe that he has been
the victim of swindlers.
Thrce weeks ago Mr.. Mendenhall
left his home, 4220 Cunning street,
to 60 to Gretna, Neb.. on business.
At the Omaha Union station he met
; stranger who represented that he
owned property in Dunbar, Neb.,
and would like to dispose of it for
cash or in trade for Omaha prop
erty.
Accompanied By Stranger.
Mendehall accompanied the
stranger to Dunbar, and during the
trip he was stricken with an illness
which Dunbar physician pro-
nounced as having been caused by
= sasong drug.
The stranger disappeared, it is
said, after having ransacked Men
denhall's satchel on the train. VAL
liable papers were stolen.
The Omaha man was carried be-
yond Dunbar, but was returned to
that town, where medical aid was
administered. Upon his return to
Omaha Mendenhall related the de-
tails of the Dunbar trip to his fam
lily. A description OF the stranger
has been obtained for the use of the
police and private detectives.
Does Not Return.
Mendenhall ate dinner at home
last Wednesday noon and then an
nounced that he would go downtown
and would return at 6 p. m. He was
in the habit Of returning home at the
appointed time.

Armies and Peace Men, Have
Spent Millions in France
Not Only Military Expenditures But Money Spent by
Soldiers on Extra Food, Drink and Lodging Ellis
Stockings of French Bourgeoisie. ~

Paris, March 28.--If France has
suffered much from the fact that
war has been fought on its terri
tory, it Is also undeniable that I'm
mense sums have been spent within
its borders by the allied armies,
sums which have gone into some
body's pocket, or perhaps stockings,
since it is in France. 1t is not only
military expenditures for military
supplies, but money spent by the
individual soldiers on extra food,
drink and lodgings, money spent for
similar purposes by the Red Cross
and the Y. M. c. A. personnel, in
GLIDING rent for special premises.
There is a great howl in France
against any special war taxation on
capital. But this money, which must
be paid back, must be pocketed
somewhere, and slight levy on it
does not seem unjust.
10000 Peace Commissioners.
It is estimated that the entire
peace conference personnel is not
less than 10000, and in the Ameri-
can delegation everybody gets an
extra allowance of 40 francs, or al
most So a day, for living expenses,
in addition to salary. Thise applies
to army officers, detached, stenog-
raphers, clerks, specialists-(there
is one gentleman whose card de-
scribes him as territorial special
isf," which means some kind of
higher real estate crack)y expert ad-
wiser, including several Harvard
professors, etc. The newspapers
alone, although having as much to
do with the peace negotiations as
anybody, do not get any state al
lowance.
How much the American govern
ment pays for the Hotel Crillon and
its velvet upholstered furniture, or
how much it costs a day for the adj
joining building at No. 4 Place de
La Concorde, which used to be the
American Red Cross headquarters,
one feels it would be indicate to
inquire.
$1,000 Per Day.
Hotel rents in Paris are very
high. The same concern that owns

an office building and the rent is
stated in the French press as being
$4,000 francs, or almost $4,000 day.
In view of that it is still more in
teresting to know how much the
American government pays tor the
Crillon.
In addition to the Majestic, the
British government rents the Hotel
Astoria, which certainly does not
cost less than the Majestic, being
better located and even more pa
latial.
Altogether the British peacemak-
ers occupy four hotels, besides a
separate private house for Lloyd
George. a..
The japanese, to the number Of
100, live at the Hotel Bristol, on
Place Vendome, where their white
flag with the blood red sun in the
center, covering two stories, is
Haunted before the Napoleon col
umn.
The Italians, as the only other
nation to occupy an entire hotel,
chose the Eduard VII, which is one
of the newer and best located places
in Paris, supposedly owned by Bel
gian capital. The Belgians are in
the Hotel Lott, which has been re-
Gently renovated. What the Italians
pay has not been made known, but
it is certainly pretty sum.
AS landlord to the peace confer
ence, France has collected no small
amount and at some future date it
would be interesting to know the
total amount of British and Ameri-
can money spent, not for war pur-
poses direct, but for rent, food, lodg-
ings and clothing. The principal
drawback is that this money has
been unevenly distributed. There
are districts where many a young
girl will have a marriage dot of her
own savings from tips and many a
farmer has a fat stocking hidden
away somewhere filled with hard
cash.
Even after the war the best in
dustry France could possibly pur-
sue would be to entertain strangers.
Her roads are the best in the world,
a regular motor car paradise, and
her cooking is better than any other.

The people Of the little village had
learned that he preferred to be let
alone when he had just returned over
the long, wearisome way from the
scene of his labors. So we had the
evening to ourselves.
Mrs. Wright, being weary after the
days work, went to bed early and, at
his request, I sat with the senator by
the fire for an hour or so. / have al
ways thought it lucky circumstance,
for ne asked me to tell of my plans
and gave me advice and encourage
ment which have had a marked effect
upon my career.
I remember telling him that wished
to be a lawyer and my reasons for 1t.
He told me that a lawyer was either
pest or q servant of justice and that
his chief aim should be the promotion
of peace and good will in his commun-
ity. He promised to try and arrange
for my accommodation in his office In
the autumn and meanwhile to lend me
some books to read while L was at
home.
Before we go to bed let us have
settlement" said the senator. "WiH
you kindly sit down at the table there
and make up a statement of all the
time you have given meT'
I made out the statement very neat
ly and carefully and put it in his
hands.
"That is well done," said he. 'I shall
wish you to stay until the day after to-
morrow, if you will. So you will please
add another day."
/ amended the statement and he paid
me the handsome sum of seven dollars.
I remember that after I went to my
room that night stitched up the open
ing in my jacket pocket, which con-
tanned my wealth, with the needle and
thread which Aunt Deel had put in my
bundle, and slept with the jacket I'M

Three days later I saw his body low

spirited wife stood there with the
same sad smile on her face that had
noted when I first saw her in the hills.
Rovin' Kate was there in the clothes
she had worn Christmas day. She was
greatly changed. Her hair was neatly
combed. The wild look had left her
eyes. She was like one whose back is
relieved Of heavy burden. Her lips
moved as she scattered little red
squares of paper into the grave. l sup

More than once in the days we were
working together I tried to tell him
what Sally had told me, but my cour-
age failed.
The day came, shortly, when I had
TO speak out, and I took the straight
way OF my duty as the needle of the
compass pointed. It was the end of
q summer day and we had watched the
dusk fill the valley and come creeping
up the slant, sinking the powders and

Indeed, although l knew the topic was

We sat for a long time thinking as
the night came on.
That week q letter came to me from

asking me to meet and assist her in
