A Good Woman Gone.

Mrs. ID. f. Goodel. formerly Miss
Fannie Fuller, who died recently at
Tama, was a former we'll known Web
ster City girl and will be remembered
by many of her acquaintance who
knew her during her girlhoOd days.
She was the daughter of Mrs. Geo. w.
Fuller, still residing here. and sister of
Fred NJ. Fuller, one Of our we'll known
citizens.
The writer was we'll acquainted with
Mrs. Goodcll when she was girl and
lis glad to bear witness to her fine
qualities and many graces. From girl
hood she matuerd into beautiful wo-
man hood and at the time of her death
was one Of the most popular women of
her adopted home town. AS mark Of
respect to her memory and as a token
Of sympathy to her family the bust
ness houses of Tama were closed on
the afternoon of the funeral from to
I o'clock.
Rev. Cleworth, who officiated at the
funeral, read the following sketch of
the life of the deceased:
When life's sun was at its meridian
deaths eclipse came to one who
was in love with life and home and
all that makes this fair world happy.
Fannie Louise Fuller was horn at
MartinSburg, New York. on September
6, 1870. and departed this life at her
home in lama on the Goth of August.
1920. Although born in New York
she spent all but one year of her
life in Iowa. having been brought by
her parents to Dycrsvillc Iowa. in
the year 1871.
In 1873 the family moved TO Web
ster City. They spent year in Tama,
coming here in 1891, at which time
Miss Fuller met d. +. Goodell to whom
she was married on June II, 1893. Mr..
and Mrs. GoOdell established their
home in this city and upon this hill.
Here they have experienced the joys and
sorrows Of life. Their first born. Gay
lord, made glad their hearts for seven
years and then God took him. A sec
on child, daughter. Carolyn. was
born December II, 1906, and she, to-
gethcr with her father. will cherish
through all the coming years the mem
DRY of this devoted mother.
Her aged mother. Mrs. G. W. Fuller,
and one borther. Fred NJ. Fuller. both
of Webster City, survive the passing
Of Mrs. Goodcll.
Not only does this home suffer an
irrcparablc loss. but the entire com
munity is made the poorer by her go
ing. She was active in the Eastern
Star, Tama Chapter No. 424. of which
she was worthy matron for two terms.
and was loyal member of chapter
r. w. of the =. +. o.
1t was in her home where the chief
worth Of her beautiful life was seen
and appreciated. ''She made home
happy. And that's tribute that any
one could covet earnestly. Even when
death was coming near she sought TO
cheer her home hearts with the cour
age Of her own. She said, Il want
to die like . soldier" Il am going
homs>-to my long home"
And 50, without murmur or a
sigh" she marched forward 10 meet
and conquer the last great foe Of life.

Must Win Race With Frost.
A bumper corn crop can be depended
upon. grain dealers state, if the corn
wins its race with the frost From two
! weeks to Il month of hot. dry weather
would do the work. it is believed.
! Farmers are placing their greatest
hopes upon he corn this year. since the
wheat in this territory is said to
amount to practically nothing. and the
oats yield is light. Should The corn
crop be seriously damaged it would tie
the worst thing that could happen to
this territory, it is firmly believed.
Farmers would be unable to liIuidate
and the result would be general hard
times for everyone.
Weather of the past week affords |
good growing conditions. but such is no
longer needed. since the ears are long
and well filled out. Samples brought
in show heavy. well developed ear.
and from all around the territory it is |
reported that the cars are hanging |
down.
Light frOStS with no damaging effects

indications point to an early frost thai
will either assure the country of Il
bumper crop or will nip the ears before
the cob has dried. Frost is generally
expected between Sept. - and 20. If
the corn has had good drying weather
before that time the crop is assured.
Little Corn Being Moved
With no change toward cooler or
more wet weather. - per cent of the
crop will be safe by Sept. II, dealer
stated. If that percentage is saved the
loss will not he as drastic in effect as
it would if the corn remained green at
n still later date. The result could he

would give this territory setback that
would require more than year from

corn is moving because Of the low price

 Julius Linstead. pioneer miner oi the Klondike. died recently at Daw' son following an illness of more than a month. He came to Daw. son in the early days and was ac- lively interested in many mines.
 McGrath, in the Kuskokwim soun- try, is experiencing a big mining boom. Fourteen shafts have been sunk in the vicinity of the camp. Tom Aitken' operating about the only mine there, is shipping 800 tons of ore down the river.
 H.H.Waller. representing Seat tie civil and mining engineering firm, recently left Cordoya for Chit ina creek and Nebesna river wheTe he will spend several weeks making a mineral survey. He will go from there to Tonsina for the same puS- pose.
 The Forty Mile Power and Dredg- ing Company have 125 miles of dredging and hydraulicing ground along the Forty Mile river on which they have been doing development work for some time. Active min ing has been pushed all through the season and a big cleanup is ex- pected.
 Returning to Ketchikan from a trip to canueries located between there and Juneau, J. R. Hickman stated that the run of dog . salmon at the points visited was greater than that of last year, while the pinks were apparently fewer. Many canneries refuse to buy the dogs at any price.

cunts to more than fifteen millions; the territory proudly claims the or- iy volcano and the highest mount ain (Mount McKinley) in North Am- erica; from reports that there are not enough passenger steamers to carry the people who want to visit the country this summer we gather that it is becoming summer play ground; the same ground that is covered with snow in winter has grown wheat that took first prize at Minneapolis; Alaska contains the only placer tin mines on the conti- nent; the marble from the territory for which Uncle Sam paid less than two cents an acre rivals that of Vermont and is used to adorn west ern office buildings and hotel lob bies; and the value of Alaska's pro- ducts since the territory was ac- Quired by the United States is al- most billion dollars. The newest industry, and also one of the most profitable, is that of reindeer rais- ing, which has made the majority of the Eskimos economically inde- pendent; the gain in this industry, we are told, has been more than twelve hundred per cent. Dr. Nell son. chief of the Biological Survey, is now in Alaska studying reindeer propagation. The Navy, for the first time in history. is now mining its own coal in Alaska; and finally, a transpacific cable and land line between the United States and che Orient, via the Aleutian peninsula, is to be considered during the next session of Congress.

will compel railroad to furnish

Idered or pay demurrage equal to
the amount OF demurrage charged to
the shipper for failure TO load or

lations to guard against injustice in
specific instances might be necessary
but the general principle Of the plan
proposed by the farmers seems to
be sound Imposition of penalties

making the present number OF cars

For thirteen years DR.. Thomas has

IS DR.. GEORGE THOMAS
A PROGRESSIVE:
SCHOOL AFFAIRS

This question is best answered by
the things accomplished during his
term OF thirteen years of service as
member of the board of education Of
Logan city.
DIR. Thomas cannot claim all the
credit for the reorganization and i'm
provement OF the Logan school sys-
TEN. The superintendent and the
sixteen board members who served
with him at different times are en-
titled to their share of the credit,
but on all occasions he was either
the leader or q staunch advocate in
every forward looking movement.
His firstterm of service was from
1898 to 1900 inclusive. This was
the period immediately following
the panic of 1896. The town had
overbuilt as regards school buildings
and financial conditions were such
as TO make 1t impossible to do any
thing except to raise the salaries of
the teachers TO the limit OF the funds
available.
His next. term began April, 1907.
In ten years the town had grown
considerable and the school chill
dren were housed in easements and
attics. The school board had Great
ed q considerable deficit, and yet in
spite of this, Immediately building
program was begun that brought Lo.
gan five new buildings. DR.. Thomas
was chairman of the building COM
mittee and worked energetically un-
I'll every child was provided with a
comfortable place to go to school.
The policy also involved the abolish
ment Of several one room school
buildings scattered throughout the
city and the bringing together of the
children into large, well ventilated
and well heated uildings where they
could be properly cared for and grad
ed. The elimination of this building
program was the erection OF q com,
modious high school building. The
contract for Its erection was signed
about six months before he resigned
from the board and left Logan.
N 1901 the school board
thought Il wise to introduce health

1t gan schools. DR.. Clark was EN-

CROCERS CLAIM
UNFAIR TACTICS
GROCERS
DEMAND RIGHT TO SELL AT DIS,
PLACEMENT COST WITHOUT BE-
ING HELD AS CRIMINALS.

President J. H. McLaurin unbosomed
another one of his famous speeches
yesterday at the Southern Wholesale
Grocers Association convention, which
he took the stand that the time had
passed when wholesale grocers should
any longer tolerate the persecution
Of the government in its attack upon
them. He was led to take this stand
because of the report from Kansas
that a number of wholesale grocers
from that state and Missouri had been
indicted for alleged profiteering in
sugar. He did not make a defense of
those wholesalers, saying that he had
not been informed of the facts, but his
remarks were predicated upon the gen.
.eral attitude of the government to n
stitute criminal proceedings under the
Lever act, asserting that it was his
calm and deliberate opinion based upon
the best legal advice that the law was
because of its indefinite
ness.
He spoke for more than m our
upon the service rendered by the
wholesale grocers during the war, their
sacrifices, and now that war was over
insisted that the wholesalers should
be permitted to follow the bent of past
customs by selling their
merchandise upon the replacement
value. He contended that there was no
other sane basis of business and that
unless a merchant followed that prin-
