Frank Wilkins, an old time Yukoner recently met a tragic death battling wiht snowdrifts on the open Yukon during the extreme cold weather last Jaunary. He left the mouth of the White River, about January 13, for Stewart City, a distance of 10 miles. When he did not arrive at the latter place searching party was dispatch ed to hunt for him. The party found Wilkinson's body in the snow on the river about one mile from the near est Stewart City road house.
 Marks in the snow showed that Will kins had crawled the last several hun dred yards in his desperate effort to reach the road house and then be- came exhausted. He was almost in sight of the read house when he per ished in the snow.

MEARS TELLS OF WORK
 ON GOVERNMENT RAILROAD

PORTLAND:-One of the largest audiences ever assembled at a Cham Der of Commerce lecture heard Col Frederick Mears speak of the present and prospective development of the northern Empire and of the govern ment's railroad to the interior, now nearing completion.
 As chief of the Alaska Engineering commission, Colonel Mears, now on . brief visit to Portland, is in complete charge of the difficult project, which thrusts inland from Seward to Fair banks, 8 distance of 467 miles, and which he predicts will be running trains it's entire length within the coming year
 "The gold rush led private capital 70 construct the White Pass and Yu- kon railroad in 1898, the first rail- road to be built in Alaska" said Col. Mears. Tt was narrow guage with heavy grades and curvature and ex- tended from Skagway no miles over the White Pass to Whitehorse, the head of navigation on the Yukon. The next railroad to be constructed was the Copper River and Northwestern line in 1908, which was projected to reach the rich copper mines located in the Copper river region and the next was the Alaska Northern railroad, with it's terminus in Resurrection bay it the town of Seward.
 "Now comes the governments pro iect, through the heart of Alaska's rich farming belt. connecting an open all-the-year-round harbor with navi- gable waters of the interior, and mak- ing development of great resourcea possible"
 Colonel Mears' lecture was illus. trated with six reels of motion pic lures, showing the progress of the governments project, scenes along the route and many interesting Alas kan views srd incidents.

Few American brides know the dig nity of ceremony, the careful prepar- ation for the wedding day. Or the ele- gance of trosseau and equippage which was the lot of a winsome ana dainty bride of the East who arrived
 in Marshfield on Thursday with her husband. Their marriage was celebrat ed at the Mon Wing Hotel in San Francisco where the groom made his residence during his stay there. Be- ginning at 10:00 o'clock on the morn ing of Sunday, January g, the cere- monies continued for three days. Mrs. Cow Why proceeded her son to make arrangements with the mother of the bride, for the marriage. The groom arrived three days before the we'd ding. The young people had not met tor ten years or since they were both eight years old. Both are now eight ~en years of age. The bride has been o China in the meantime.

Her short jacket was of very heavy and lustrous black satin, lined with softer silk of white, the collar of the jacket flared rigidly upstand- ing.

 Under heath were worn many silken shirts. All topped with a swirling top skirt of vivid pink, faced with turqu.

STEESE FIGHTING FOR
 ROAD APPROPRIATION

Owing to the drastic cut made by the house appropriations committee, in the Alaska road commission ap- propriation, for the next fiscal year, Col. James G. Steese, president of the commission, who has been in Wash ington since last November, will de lay his return to Alaska until the end of the present session, according to advise received at commission head quarters in Juneau. Col Steese is con- fident that the senate will deal more literally with the, commission esti- mates ths.t the house committee.
 Col. Steese expected the report of the committee recommending $S50,- 900 for the commission next season would be adoted by the house. When the measure goes to the Senate com mittee the real fight to have the ori- ginal amount. 955, 1000, restored to the bill, will begin. The reduction made by the house committee, it was stated was not the result of criticism of the estimates of the commission, but was due to the economic drive" being car ried on which is cutting down amount of appropriations for every purpose.
 Col. Steese had expected to be able to leave Washington by February 20, sand arrive in Alaska about March1. It will now probably be the latter part of March before he rehFns-Ex.

Pluck ye your eyebrows while ye man
 Double up your lips and nose. Part your hair most any way,
 Slip on your sheerest hose. Old Time is fast a-flying, dears,
 Go vamp 'em while you can; If ye be cozy, ye wil in tears,
 Forever lack a man.

CONGRESS QUIZ Of

1T WILL HAVE NOTHING MORE
TO DO WITH INVESTIGATION.

Washington, Oct lS-Aftor n ten
minute recret session The house rules
committee. which had put William
j. Simno ns. the kn KluT Klans Inn
per!al wizard, through a rigid exam
inat!on, voted unanimously rot 10 call
any mere witnesses At t,.iJ time.
Chairman Campbell and the mem
bers Of the committee refused to
make any comment, but It is expect.
ed that the committee will oppose
congressional investigation as re.
quested in number of pending reso-
buttons.
Final action, however will not be
taken until several absent members
return to Washington, but house
members accepted it as settled that
they were done with the ku KluX,
unless the Department of Justice,
conducting an inquiry OF its own,
comes forward with unexpected evil
dence.
reprimanded by Chairman Campbell
for making statements which Mr..
Campbell characterized as utterly
without foundation"
Simmons opened with another at
tack on the newspapers which have
exposed him and his khan. He said 4
New York newspaper was conspiring
to have one Of its representatives
tarred and feathered and ut Is to be
made to appear that the khan did it,"
The order was called the Ku Klux
Khan, Simmons said, "as a memorial
to the men, north and south, who
served in the old wartime organiza-
ton and to perpetuate its spiritual
purposes
Its services are dedicated to the
great Lord OF Hosts" the wizard ex-
planned, trying to raise his voice,
hoarse from long examination, so
that all in the big committee room
might hear. The Ku Klux is not
anti-Jew, anti-Catholic or anti.Negro.
1t is not anti-anything but wrong"
In rounding up what he termed the
good points of the organization Sim
mons said that the military branch"
not yet formed, was not to be more
militaristic than the patrol OF the
Mystic Shrine; that members join
ing were required to help enforce
the nations laws only as citizens,
and that when black sheep crept in
they were kicked out if found,
While there was no printed roster
OF members on file at Atlanta head
quarters, he said, each khan or lodge
kept list of its own. There was no
rule prohibiting publication of mem
bership lists.
Reference to the daily presence of
the assistant attorney general, and
the one day stay of William J. Burns
director Of the Department of Justice
bureau of investigation, was made by
Rep. PoJ, democrat, North Carolina,
while he was examining the wizard.
Asked If he had been intimidated
by the presence of Mr.. Burns, whom
he characterized as the Sherlock
Holmes of the United States, Sim
mons said he had not, and that he
had faithfully tried to give the COM
mittee all the information it was
seeking.
Simmons was questioned at length
about financial operations. Begin
ming last August his salary was $1,000
a month he said, but the grand coun-
Gil recently directed that he be paid
