The world is bound for Crazyland,
We're going to cross the hills
That lead away from common sense
To fields of daffy-dills.

And common sense dismiss;

BROWN BEAR HAS
 SITKA DEFENDER
George B. Rice Says Brown Bear Not Savage-''Is of
 Very Retiring" Nature.

The Alaska Fisn ana Game Club has discovered one stout champion of the brown bear. George B. Rice says he has found in every case he has investigated that where a brown bear attacked person the man has been tthe aggressor, and in most cases the bear was badly wounded. He declares that the brown bear lis of a very retiring disposition"
 Some time ago the Alaska Fish and Game Club sent out lot of questionnaires to people whom they believed would be informed concern ing fish and game conditions. Amon., the questions asked were several with reference to the brown bear, asking for the purpose of attempting to discover whether or not the brown hated. These letters were sent to hunters, trappers, prospectors, home steaders, sportsmen and old timers generally. Among the scores of re- plies received, Mir Rice is the one staunch out-and-out champion of the brown bear
 Responding to the question: Have you ever known bears to attack human beings without provocation 2" MT. Rice says:
 No, and what's more, do not know of anyone who does.
 "I have heard of numerous cases where men were attacked but On closer inquiry have found that in every case the man was the aggres- sor, and in most cases the bear was badly wounded.
 Politicians and others for selfish reasons have through newspaper ar ticles and public speeches given the brown bear of Alaska a very bad name. when in fact instead of being the ferocious and belligerent demon of the North Woods he is of very retiring disposition as most anyone who has hunted him will tell you.
 Why not protect and capitalize the brown bear? He is one of Al aska's greatest assets. Where in the world today can you find such sport as hunting the monster brown bear of Alaska?
 "Sportsmen are good spenders and willing to pay for the privilege not only in the form of hunting licenses, but in hiring guides and equipment, and another thing, the class Of men who can afford to make trip te Alaska to hunt are men with money and they cannot help becoming inter ested in somt of the wonderful op portunities that are to be found in the mining. timber or fishing indus tries of the North

SEWARD ASKS FOR BUILDING
 FOR JUDICIARY
Attorney General Makes Re- quest for Transfer of
 Railroad Building.

Former residents of Seward, nov in Juneau, state that the citizens oi the Resurrection Bay town will be we'll pleased with the request ol Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmcl contained in yesterdays Associated Press dispatches in The Empire. that the Secretary of the Interior be all thorized to transfer the Alaska Rail road office building at Seward to the Department of Justice.
 The railroad building at Seward was constructed by the officers oi the old Alaska Northern Railroad and cost $50,000 The building is located in the central part of town on Adams and Fifth streets, directly opposite the Hartman National Bank building. The building occupies near ly one quarter of a block, is steam heated three stories high, and is an ideal building for the Department of Justice.
 Several months ago, Col. Frederick Mews, in charge of the construction of the Government railroad, decided to consolidate all offices of the rdii road at Anchorage, the Commissions headquarters, and the Supply Depart nent, Hospital and resident Ensin- eer's offices at Seward were subse- quently moved, leaving the large office building in Seward vacant.
 The Federal jail was established in the building two months ago, and the residents immediately petitioned United States District Judge Fred NJ. Brown to secure the railroad build ing for the Department of Justice. At present when District Court session is held in Seward, there Is no available room for the session and court convenes in the headquar ters of United States Commissioner William H. Whittlcsey, in the base ment of the Bank of Seward.
 In time, Seward expects, and IS now working for that city to become the Judicial headquarters of tGe Third Division as it is claimed that the city is more centrally ilocat sd than Valdez. the preesnt judicial headquarters.
 The railroad building at Seward Is large enough to contain large court room, clerks office and Fed eral prison and other necessary ad- juncts for q judicial headquarters. according to former residents of that town.

ONLY TWO MEN ON H9
 RESCUE IS OPINION

Al Simpson, arrested here Mon day night charged with footing the gasboat Alpha at Petersburg, sticks to his original story that Harry Naylor, wanted on a similar charge, did not come to Juneau on the ogas- boat Rescue and that there were only himself and Martin Klabo on the boat. Federal officials are now convinced that this is the truth.
 The search for the Rescue still continues, all points having been notified to look out for the vessel. Officials were of the opinion that it will be only a question of short time until the man will be forced to visit some part for supplies.
 As the bond of Simpson was fixed at $3,O0O by Commissioner Burton at Petersburg advices are waited for from the place on the matter and he Is held in the Federal jail here.

MEASURE TO PROTECT NATIVE CURIO WORK
 MAY BE INTRODUCED

A bill designed for the protection of the Native industry of the manu- fracture of curios, carvings and other items of Native handiwork, is to be introduced in the next session of the Territorial Legislature, it is under stcd, by Representative Cash Cole, of Juneau. The bill, in it's proposed form, is short and simple.
 It provides for marking and identifying Native works of art, curios and carvings. specifying that all such bear in conspicuous let tering, sufficiently legible for a trademark, or other design in let tering, marks showing it's design, whether made by Natives or other persons, and making it unlawful to offer any of them not so marked. Such a measure, it is stated. will stop the flood of spurious curios of foreign manufacture that is said to be gradually crowding out Native art and industry.

Campaign Meeting Thursday.

The second county campaign
meeting was held last Thursday at
Cooper school house, Mr.. John P.
Mealing acting as chairman. The
candidates for solicitor were not
present, attending a large meeting
in Saluda county that day. The can
didates for the senate and house
spoke along about the same lines,
with some slight variation, that were
reported last week at the Johnston
meeting. AS the speaking began late
it ran far into the dinner hour and
everybody went from the school
house to the long table where a
princely barbecue dinner was served
in limitless quantities-meats, hash,
tomatoes. pickle, corn, bread, etc.
The day was very pleasantly spent,
the social feature in the afternoon
being enjoyed by all present, as the
afternoon was not marred by any
speeches. The people these hot days,
as a rule, do not want to hear pub
lie speaking. And who can blame
them2 The next county meeting will
be held at Antioch church tomorrow.

Death of MIR. T. M. Glover.

Wednesday night, July 28, Mr.. T.
M. Glover died at his home in the
Meriwether section. While he had
been in feeble health for some time,
his death was unexpected and a
great shock to his friends and loved
pnes. During the afternoon before
his death he visited in the commu-
Unity but became very weak on re-
turning home. Within an hour after
complaining of feeling very unwell
he passed away without pain or
struggle. The immediate cause of his
death must have been heart failure,
as he had suffered from heart trou-
BILE for year or more. Mr.. Glover
was not a Confederate veteran, be-
| ing too young to don the uniform in
the sixties, but no citizen in Edge
field county ever rendered more 10y
al service than he in 1876, time
when every red-blooded man was
needed at the front in the fight fol-
white supremacy and honest gov
ernment. Mr.. Glover was in his 10th
year, being the last of the older gen.
Grafton of prominent and honored
old Edgefeld family. He leaves his
devoted wife who, before their mar
riage was Miss Ida Scott. They had
no children. The funeral was con-
