 Professor c. c. Georgeson, Alaska pioneer and farmer, who made straw berries grow in Alaska and brought wheat production up to 30 bushels per acre at the government experimental farms in Alaska, has visions of the day when Alaska will have millions of people. He urged the commission not to adopt any policy which would result in thousands of farmers troup- ing into Alaska in the hopes of set ting here the first year, and said that not more than 500 families should go into the territory in any one year until transportation and markets de. veloped. He also advocated the gov. erment loaning money to the settler so that he could clear land, buy i'm. plements and get stocked. So far the government has done nothing.

SUBSIDIZED SHIPPING

Our mines has been shut down for three years and it never will open up until there are better rates on rail and water" said MT Willard. Tt is up to the government to work out some plan whereby we ca1 ges lower water rates. The government can run it's own ships to Alaska, it can sub sidize ships that carry mail, which is now treated as freight instead of mail, or it can open up Alaska and make possible the shipping out of the great resources of the territory and in this way provide return cargo for ships" |"

the Seward peninsula had produced between $1OO,O0O,OO0 and S15O ,OO0, ,OO0 in virgin gold, and this equals one. twentieth part of the gold reserve in the United States.
 Nome has always been interested in gold production but today Nome is prostrate. Our richest mines are ex. hausted," said MT. Orton.
 NOME CONDITIONS
 "The second division of Alaska has lost 90 per cent of it's population in the last ten years. There are two reasons for this: One is that the gold production is at low ebb, and the other is that there has been nQ reduction in transportation rates. The basic freight rate from Seattle to Nome used to be $14 and today the lighterage charge alone from ship to shore at Nome is $13 per ton.
 ''There is one bright spot-the oil situation. Let the government lay down a policy which will allow the Alaskan to prospect for oil like he did for gold, and know the temper of the people we'll enough to know that they will find the oil.

BRYAN'S HEART BURIED.
"Must Pause Till It Comes Back,
He Saws.

SAN FRANCISCO. July (by the AS
sociated Press).-"My heart is in the
grave with our cause and l must
pause until it comes back to me"
said William J. Bryan yesterday in
giving his reason for not making any
extended statement on the work of
the democratic national convention.
MY views on the conventions ac-
ton in reference to the Endorsement
of prohibition are known" said Mr..
Bryan. Il regard it as very serious
mistake-it opened the door to the
nomination of a wet candidate. /
need not repeat here what I have said
before in regard to the evasion of
other issues"
When asked if he would have any
thing to do with the third party move
ment, which will begin it's convention
in Chicago July 10. or would indorse
it's candidate, Mr.. Bryan replied:
II do not care to discuss any other
movement. 1t took the democratic
convention quite a while to decide
on a candidate. and the Individual
voters have about four months in
which to consider the claims of the
candidates. I shall use a part of that
four months in considering the oues-
ton.
Il do not care to say ANYTHING
about congressional plans, but the
question suggests subject which
the public cannot overlook, namely.
the importance of selecting a Senate
and House that will refuse to in
crease the alcoholic content in per
m1tted beverages or any other weak
enlns OF the enforcement law"

MASSED SUPPORT
!. FOR COX SOUGHT
BY OHIO UNIONS
Labor Expected to Be Indi-
rectIy Urged to Back His
Campaign.

Massed support of Gov. James NJ
Cox, the democratic candidate, by Or
ganized labor is being sought, and the
can Federation has been appealed to
to unite the 100000 voting strength
of labor behind the democratic stand
ard bearer.
The movement was started by the
Central Labor Union of Ohio, which
has sent a strong telegram in behalf
of Cox to the federation headquarters.
"Cox certainly stands well with the
labor people in Ohio" was the only
comment that Frank Morrison, secre-
tary of the A. F. of L., would make
today.
Lays Records Before Unions.
1t was pointed out by labor leaders
that the federation does not declare
for any one candidate as against an
other, but does prepare the records
of the candidates and lays them be-
fore the affiliated unions, so that the
individual union man when voting
can intelligently cast his ballot for
the man whose record shows his at
tutude toward the aims of organized
labor.
In this connection it was stated by
several officials of the federation that
"Harding's record is not good on
labor issues-the inference being
that the record of Cox will show up
well in comparison and the organ
lied labor men of the country indi-
rectly will be urged to support Cox.
Gompers to Call Council.
Samuel Gompers, president of, the
American Federation of Labor, has
teen in San Francisco attending the
democratic convention, as he was in
Chicago at the republican conven-
ton. When he returns to Washing
ton next week he will call a meeting
of the executive council of the fed
Grafton and lay before it the plat
forms of the two conventions with
respect to the labor plank, with his
own views on this subject, and will
discuss with the executive council
the relative records of the two can
didateS
Efforts are now being made to in
terest Gov. Cox particularly in the
labor plank of the democratic con-
vention, which was adopted at the
suggestion of Mr. Gompers.
This plank declares against the
labor clauses of the ch-Cummins
law and arbitration schemes of the
kind contained in the Kansas indus
trial court law. Labor leaders ia
miliar with Cox's attitude toward labor
expect no trouble in getting such an
assurance from him.

LAST YEARS Wheat
NOT YET AT MILLS
Growerso f KaKnsas May Have to
Hold Part Of Crop in

Stacks or Bins.
HUTCHINSON. Kan. July kan
sas wheat growers have been warn
ed by conferences at meeting of
that they may have to hold so per
cent of the new crop of grain in
stacks or bins on their farms, be-
cause of lack of transportation to the
mills. There is vast amount of grain
from last years crop still waiting to
be moved.
Since the conference, in response to
the appeal directed to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the = minis
sion has wired Secretary J. C. Mohler
of the state board of agriculture that
14,500 cars will be sent to the mid
west states. 1t has been estimated
that it would take $4,000 cars to move
the wheat from last years crop still
remaining in country elevators and
on Kansas farms. The states imme-
diate need is $4,000 cars to adequate
ly handle the situation. Secretary
Mohler said. He has received word
that Kansas is to get 1900 cars.
When the present wheat harvest is
over, Kansas bankers will have ap-
proximately s100.000.000 tied up" in
1919 and 1920 crops. OF this amount
the bankers have advanced s65, 900, 600
up to the present time. on crops that
have not been harvested. These were
figures given by ]. r. Anspaugh. Sec
retary of the Kansas State Bankers
Association, at the conference. The
security is good. but the money is
hard to get. 1t will strain every re-
source to get through safely" said
Mr.. Anspaugh

SEES THIRD PARTY
Statement Declares People
Demand Genuine Opposition
Organization.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Third
party proponents see in the results
of the democratic national convention
the certainty of a new political party,
according to statement issued by
Howard Williams, national vice chair
man of the committee of forty-eight,
which has called convention in Chi
cago July 10 to IA for organization
of a new party and selection of can
didates for President and Vice PreSi-
dent.
The statement last night said:
"The republican convention adopted
a recationary platform and selected a
typical old guard candidate. The peo-
pie expected relief from the demo-
cratic convention and again their
hopes are shattered.
False Issues Charged.
False issues were created; real is
sues, those of concern to average
people, were disregarded intention
ally.
"A colorless candidate of the con-
ventional type was selected finally
by worn-out delegates in the small
hours of Tuesday morning.
I'm the democratic convention, as
in the republican, everything that
savored of liberalism was stif1ed.
There is nothing to choose between
either party. Both are bankrupt of
democratic purpose.
New Party Demanded.
"The people of the United States
now demand a genuine opposition
party They demand new party
which will regard sincerely the in
terests of the voters, a party which
offers a constructive program and
which assures relief from the tyran-
ny of the two-party system Such
a party will be organized. Now is the
time"
The statement also bore the sigma
