OLSON CONFESSES ID COAST MURDER:
 SAYS HE'S SORRY

Edward Olson, aged about p years, confessed recently at Anchor age to the murder of Benjamin Ag- new at the latter's ranch in the Matanuska district, according to a copy of the Anchorage Times just rer eived.
 Olson's confession came after the marsna's deputies had laid before him evidence showing all his move ments since he escaped from the Anchorage Jaii June 29.
 The arrest of Olson was made by Deputy Hoffman at Matanrska on a charge of having escaped from the Anchorage jail.
 Since that time, with a raincoat, owned by Agnew, and whi.h Olson was seen wearing, following the murder, the marshal's office has been piecing together the evidence that promised Olson's undoing had he not confessed. Confronted with this evidence, Olson made the fol- lowing statement to Deputy Marshal Mossman:
 ], Olson's Confession.
 That on Thursday night he went to the ranch of Harry Weickert, near the Agnew ranch, and there being no one at home, remained there all night. Friday morning he went to the Agnew ranch and went into the ranch house and found a demijohn of "white mule" whisky in a corner of the room, covered with a coat or sweater. He drank heavi- ly of this and later took Agnew's gun from the rack and went into the chicken yard and commenced shooting at the chickens. He killed at least one with the rife and he remembered catching at least two and cutting their heads off with a butcher knife; that while he was shooting at the chickens, Ben Agnew approached and called to him to cease shooting chickens and made at him with what he believes to have been hoe. A struggle ensued and he used the rifle butt and laid open Agnew's forehead; that he then, get ing the worst of the fight, turned and ran away. Agnew pursuing. Thereupon he turned and shot Az new with the rife, following which he loaded the body into a wheel barrow and started to wheel it to Matanuska, but finding the going muddy and soft, was unable to con- tinue, so returned and hit the body where it was found by searching party on July 2.
 Is Repentant.
 Olson is very repentant and says he never would have thought of kill ing Agnew if he had not been drink ing and in an intoxicated condition. Olson was arrested within an hour after he had committed the crime, but at the time there was no suspi- cion against him. Deputy Marshal Hoffman had taken him in on report that while serving time in the An chorage jail for larceny of guns, etc., he had escaped on June 20, after having been made trusty and allowed to work in the garden.

NEW MARINE ACT
 NOW IN FORCE

The last American freight brought by Canadian vessels to Gastineau Channel points .or in fact any Alaskan ports with the exception of Skag- way, was brought north on the Princess Mary late last month.
 The shipping bill signed by President Wilson on June 5, prohibits Canadian vessels from bringing freight origi- mating in the United States to any port in Alaska. The last of the freight that start led on it's way previous 10 June 5 arrived on the Prin- cess Mary. Other shipments were diverted to Seattle and came North on American boats.
 The only freight that Ca nadian boats can now bring north is freight having it's origin in Canada and freight that is bonded through Skag- way to Yukon River ports on Canadian soil.
 It is anticipated that the restriction will cause some articles used in Coast mines, that have been in the past routed from the Eastern part of the United States through Canada and then north by the C. P. R., to cost more, as the Canadian lines quoted a lower rate for through ship ments.

THE OVERALL "HYSTERIA" EDITORIAL

When The Nenana News of the 9th. inst. published an editorial under the above caption, from The New York World, it inadvertently an- ticipated an up-to-the-minute inovation about to be an- nounced right here in Me- mana. Read that editorial then read this article again.
 Men in Nenana should know that they can get a long-wearing, satisfaction giving, real suit that con- pines utility with style, and is the best for both purposes that can be produced (of par ticular value to men around machinery). Stylish enough to wear instead of the suit for which you pay a big price today. .-

ment of women, that only one Of the
sex was elected to Congress. 1t is
still more remarkable that one

It is natural to believe that Miss
RobertSon'S election was an accident
ora mistake-or both. 1t is simple
enough to prove it an accident, hut il
is only her future conduct that can
prove whether or not it was mis-
taKe. Her candidacy appears at no
time to have been taken seriously.
Even she herself probably had no
strong hope; that .:shr would be able
to defeat the seasoned campalgncr
who had long represented that dis
trict of Democratic Oklahoma in the
Legislative halls at Washington. She
made no extended tours. conducting
hers campaign from her cafeteria in
the intervals of each busy day. She
reached few voters besides those reg
uIar patrons who! san at her tables,
but. she profited by the restlessncss
affecting al! voters in this campaign.
She was swept in upon the wave of
protest against the party in power.
Now that she has won her seat il
Congress she may be full of fears, i
not of regrets. These last may come
in due course. but that there is now
a deep sense of nervousness in her
