ring days before the Civil war; an
officer in the volunteer army
throughout the long conflict, where
he was wounded in battle and where
he CALAMITY commanded a division
under Sheridan; in congress for
two terms in the turmoil of recon-
struction; thrice elected governor
of Ohio in close, exciting contests
yet this man moved so noise
lessly through all these great
scenes that he was looked upon a.
an almost unknown actor on the
national stage when he made bis
entry as a nominee for president
For 20 years he had been playing
his several parts and always play
ing them fairly well, but without
becoming a star or catching the
spotlight.
When Ohio entered him as her
favorite son, so little account was
taken Of him that other candidates
permitted the convention to go to
his state, thus repeating the mis-
takes of the unsuspecting politi-
clans who let the convention Of 1860
go to Lincoln's state. Here is an
other parallel: a majority OF the
delegates when they arrived in Gin.
cinnati in 1876 were for Blaine.
just as a majority went to Chicago
favorable to Seward. And Blaine
lost the nomination, precisely as
Seward lost it at Chicago, by an
adjournment over night. II the
ballot had been taken, as it proper
ly should have been, while the con.
vention was aglow from the elo-
quence of Robert G. IngersollS trlb-
ute to the "Plumed Knight the
convention would have been swept
off its feet for the Man from
Maine" How many men have miss
ed the presidential nomination BY
just shch a narrow miSchance!
When the balloting came the next
day, Hayes remained fourth and
fifth through four ballots. He was
nominated on the seventh OILY
when the field was forced to CON-
bine upon some one in order to beat
Blaine who had risen to within "
votes of victory.
Amid all the confusion and In
triguing the convention followed me

publican party was sadly divided .!

Apparently the leaders of the Polish army
didn't know when to stop. They stretched
their line too far in pressing their supposed
advantage against the bolshevists. War ex-
hausted nations which insist upon fighting
should realize that they cannot conduct mill
tary operations on the scale common in the
campaigns against Germany. The Poles should
have been content to hold their frontiers.

RAIN AND A
 WIND STORM
 HITS JUNEAU
Downpour of Rain During the Night and Forenoon Today Helped Swell All
 the Streams

During last night and today there was Southeasterly wind blowing that drove before it a fierce rain storm. Streams sprang up on the hillsides surrounding Juneau and poured down the draws with great fury The wind, combined with rainfall of 413 inches in the "A hours ending at noon today present. ed a peculiar situation for this time of the year.
 Owing to the softened nature of he ground on account of the frost having been thawed out there i5 considerable danger of slides again coming down.
 1 At the present time there is a l big stream of water pouring over | the hill through the location of the old slide and some people have moved from their houses on Gas l tineau Avenue. Easements have been flooded and for a time a stream of wateer that flows near the Gastineau Hotel was blocked up. Street Commissioner Policy called
  struction work on the Gastineau Avenue trestle and cleared the over l flow, removing the danger from | that source.
 l People living along Gastineau Ave nue have been warned of possible slides. Some persons have moved while others have elected to stay
 with their homes.
 i Today the Alaska-Juneau Mining
 Company had engineers on the hhl-
 side back of Gnstineau Avenue at
 all altitude of between five and sew
 en hundred feet. These men eX-
 amined the ground thoroughly. The
 ground is unusually soft and cracks
 are visible in some places. It is the opinion of these men that people should not stay in the houses on
 the hillside that may be in the path
 of a possible landslide.
 Along the road leading to the Casey-Shattuck Addition stream from the hillside caused damage just across Gold Creek at the first
 draw. A house there was aban-
 doned by the occupants.
 Gold Creek itself is swollen and
 at the mouth spread over a consid-
 erable stretch of territory While the situation was not pleasant nc damage was done by the waters there. The channel is taking care of most of the water of the creek. Outdoor work is almost an impos- sibility.
 Ii is stated that a patrolman will : be on duty all. night tonight on the hillside to watch out for slides unless he raiE and wind abates His duties will be to watch foI loose ground and to give warning if possible of any sliding ground. Along the waterfront the storm has been especially noticeable as 1t strikes there with considerable fury. Several boats which were ly- ing at the outside of the City Float were slightly damaged by other craft pumping against them and one small gas boat which was tied up there was sunk at her moorings The boats tied between the float and the beach have been in smooth water all the time. Among the yes sells slightly damaged are the Diana and the Hegg.

JUAREZ, Mex, Jan. 6.-Efforts are being made by the Juarez Cham Der of Commerce to provide a bonded warehouse for the accommodation of American and Mexican shippers. A large brick building has already been selected for the purpose.
 The advantage of such a ware house is that shippers can sent largo quantities of goods from the. UniteQ States in Juarez without having to pay the duty all at one time. They can leave the gods there until they are sold at which time only, 1t, will be necessary to pay the impostss that may be due.
