FOUR KILLED, FIFTEEN
 WOUNDED WHEN MILITIA FIRES INTO 'LYNCH-MOB"
PRESIDENT ASKS PARTY
 TO WITHHOLD OPINION
Requests Democratic Cau- GUS to Take No Action On
 Universal Training.

Washington, Feb. B. President Wilson opposes the plan to have the democratic members of the house at their caucus tonight make issue of universal military training.
 The presidents views are set forth in letter to Secretary Baker trans mitted today to democratic leaders in the house MT. Wilson says it would be unfortunate, to make a party issue on this subject, particu larly since that within a few months the party vii assemble in convention and declare the principles upon which it deems it wise to commit itself in a national election"
 Text Of Letter.
 The presidents letter follows:
 "I am told that a causus of the democratic members of the house has been called to consider pending legislation and the suggestion has been made that a esolution be adopt ed committing the democratic mem bership of the house against the pol icy of general military training. In the present circumstances it would seem to me ortunate to make a party issue upon this subject partic- ularly that within a few months the  declare the principles upon which it deems It will commit itsef in na- tional election. The present disturb ed state of the world does not permit such sureness with regard to Ameri- cas- obligations as to allow us lightly to decide upon this great question up on purely military grounds when the dem onstrated advantage to us of the condition which came from military service in the war plainly suggest that in the national interest, quite apart from military considerations, the moderate and carefully conduct ed course Of military training may have the highest possible a,1vantag ge. E Tn our discussion Of the subject you will recall I gave my approval in principle to the various very mod crate training projects suggested by the general staff and I would be very priate members of the house who will attend the caucus my strong feeling against action by the caucus which tend to an interpretation of an arbl- trary party determination to the con sideration which this subject should receive from the\ best thought of the members of the house considering alike the national emergencies which may confront us and the advantages of the disciplinary and other advan- tages which such a system plainly promises for the young men of the country

TRAIL WIZARD
 MAKES TRIP
 WITH TRACTOR

Divisional Road Commissioner Shel- don, known throughout Alaska as the Wizard of the Trail' (some would have it ''Lizard"), wriggled in over the tion that looked like a cross between a cider press and corn planter. But it was evidently there with the eff ciency for it dragged behind it an old Cadillac automobile carrying a load of more than ton and another loaded wagon.
 MT. Sheldon says the trip from Chitina was uneventful, but demon strated to his satisfaction that the machine will perform everything claimed for it and a good deal more than he expected. He came through from Chitina to Meier's roadhouse with a load varying between four and five tons, including his fuel, amount ing to twenty-five cases on the start. The load was carried on two bobsleds and an average speed of four miles per hour was maintained.
 From Tonsina to Gulkana the trail was already bare, so the trip was made on the Copper river to Gulkana and from there for some distance on the Gulkana river. Bob says the old inhabitants and Indians shook their heads and bid fond farewell when he started up the Gulkana.
 On the summit the trip was made over snow drifted to a depth of from ten to twelve feet, but the tractor went down only about six inches. Over part of the summit, however, the machine had to be hauled with horses, owing to water.
 The machine is twenty horsepower gasoline motor, mounted on a cater pillar tractor It is designed to do work ordinarily performed by four horses, besides having a bully which can be hooked up to a wood saw, threshing machine, feed grinder or anything else of a stationary nature that can be run with a twenty horse power motor The engine consumes about one gallon of gasoline per one and one-half mile, hauling a capacity load at the rate of four miles per hours
 Tie machine was purchased by a farming syndicate here through the Samson Hardware Company, and will be put to work blowing and discing as soon as the frost is out of the ground. MT. Sheldon says he is con- fident the machines will prove a great boon to the farmers here, as they will be able to perform their work so much more rapidly, allowing the crops a longer growing season, and besides entailing no expense during the long idle winter months.
 It is expected that before the season is over there will be many of the ma chimes in operation here. - Fairbanks News Miner.

WAGE INCREASE FOR EMPLOYES
 GOVT. RAILWAY

A general advance in the wage scale in the northern or Nenana division has been announced by the Alaskan engineering commission, the advance in pay to take place immediately in all departments. Hourly men will get a fiat advance of 70 cents a day, which will increase the minimum wage from 81A cents an hour to 70 cents an hour. Monthly employees will receive an jn- crease of $20 per month, where the wage does not include board, Where board is furnished, the wages of monthly 8mployes will be raised ap- proximately $5 per month.
 The advance in wages is accom- panied by an advance in the price of board at commission messhouses from $125 per day to $1.75 per day, which leaves a net advance in wages of 20 cents per day for hourly men boarding at the messhouses, and $5 per month ther advance of from 20 to 40 per cent
 The chief benefit of the wage ad- vance will be derived by married em- ployes taking their meals at home, They will receive the full 70 cents increase per day, or $2O per month, and in the case of hourly men, it will be possibly, by working Sundays, to add another dollar to the advance.
 In the case of monthly men whose pay has been advanced recently, En- 1 gineer-in-C Charge Frederick D. Browne states that those cases will be taken under special consideration They may receive the full $2O advance or only part of it, as may be decided by those in authority.
 Another change, which is already in force, is the elimination of the retail | department of the commission store, employees now being required to make their purchases in cast lots and in un- broken packages. This is in the na- ture of an experiment, Mr. Browne says, and will be continued only so long as the merchants of the town keep their profits within reason. Should prices be advanced beyond a point considered fair by the commits sion, the retail department of the com mission store will again be opened
 The present advance is the third in- crease granted by the Alaskan engi- neering commission since thez com l mencement of work in the Interior Originally board was provided at the rate of $1 per day, and it continued at ! that rate until 1918, when it was ad- vanced to $1.25. The minimum wage scale was advanced at the same time to 61A cents per hour, at which figure it has remained until the present time. It is estimated that tn ecost of living has advanced at least 40 per cent in Interior Alaska since 1918, and fur it was evidently there with the eff is expected during the coming sum mer.
