BRING FORTH OUTBURST
Of BUDS AND CANDIDATES
(By Redyns)

u Now that the buds and blossoms
are beginning to show on trees an Z
shrubbery, and the garden has beer
started by the male member of the
family, for his wife and the remain
Ger OF the household to finish later
oh' tho prospective candidate is be
ginning 10 map out his itinerary and
within the next few days his voice
may be expected to be heard in the
hand.
Candidates have been n little back.
ward this spring about making their
announcement, but the weather has
been a little backward too, and has
not been propitious for campaigniuc
purposes. but now that the weather
man has agreed to be good, and now
that the gentle south breezes are
warming the earth, Mr.. Candidate and
all his ilk will begin To tell tho dear
people" just what he wants them TO
10 at the polls next August, likewise
what he expects TO do for them in
the event he is chosen TO represent
them for the next two years.
Tho question OF a candidate for the
state senate WIS finally settled last
week when John Carlock after much
persuasion was induced to make his
announcement; this was one race
where there were several waiting TO
get their bonnets in the ring, pro-
Yided Mr.. Callocli refused TO run,
bu, now that his announcement has
appeared, the chances are that he
iii have no opponent before the pri-
Srnary election
one more candidate made his an
nouncement for county office last
week. Oscar Vaughn decided that he
wants to be county wcigher ana has
entered the race against Buck Rob.
erts Of Berwyn whose announcement
appeared some time ago.
All other races are at 4 standstill,
but IL is the calm before the storm
&c there will be no keeping some OF
the old timers from the cinder path
that leads to success or defeat, and
their announcements may be looked
for at an early date.
II is a long time until August 3rd,
ana the candidates are prone to wait
as long as possible before making
their announcements as It costs quite
4 tidy sum TO make q primary cam
palgn in Carter county.

 ALASKA'SBIG NEED
Congress Now Considering sugges- tions for Peopling Vast
 Territory

WASHINGTON. D. C.-Now that tho completion Of Che government railroad In Alaska ls In sight, being less than two years distant. Che fact that there is no authority In law anywhere for aiding In Che doyel- opment Of traffic for it is coming sharply to the attention Of congress. There is no provision for wagon roads to bring traffic to the rail- road. nor scheme Of settlement or colonization and none of tho devel- opment plans usual in the contsruc- tion Of a pioneer railroad This condition has led Senator Jones to secure the passage of a senate res- olution calling on the department Of Che Interior for the following in- formation:
 What steps have been taken or are being taken to develop and settle the country traversed by and tributary to the government railroad being constructed In Alas ka?"
 Second What steps have been taken or are being taken to develop traffic for such a railroad when built?
 Third - Has any organization been created charged with Che duty of settling this country and devel- oping traffic for the road? IT not. why has such organization not been formed?"
 The department heretofore has taken the position that it has no au- thority Of law under Che railroad act to do anything but build the rail- road. hence it is presumed that the reply wifi be in the negative to an thrco questions.
 That reply win emphasize to con- gross Che lack or legislation to pro- vide for am Alaskan railroad policy or to develop the territory. An op- portuuity may be presented for early legislation on the subject as a rider to Che sundry civil appropriation bin which win carry the years ap- nriatlon for Che railroad. That bin is now being prepared by a sub- committee of tho house committee on appropriations.
 The estimate for the year In the sum Of S80OO.0000 was presented Co tho subcommittee recently In hear ings at which John w. Hallowell. assistant to Che secretary of tho in- torior.
