Stewart, alias William Cummings,
alias Jack Smith, alias Jack Nichols,
but whose true name is William
Dempski, was tried at Valdez last
winter for the murder Of Isaac
Evans, the deputy marshal at Sew
ard, and for the murder of Margaret
Lavor, a woman of the underworld,
at Anchorage. For these crimes
Dempsey was twice indicted, twice
tried, twice found guilty of murder
in the first degree, and twice stnt-
enced to be hanged. The execution
was to take place on February 20,
1920. Writs of error were sued out
to the Ninth Circuit Court of APP
peals but before transcript Of the
testimony was made, Dempsey's
sentences were committed to life I'M
prisonment. The reason for this
Communication of sentence seems to
be somewhat Of a mystery; every
official in Alaska who had anything
to do with the case and who was
given an opportunity to make a
recommendation, strenuously cppos-
ed any Communication. The depart
of justice and the pardon attorney
also opposed any change III the
sentences as pronounced by the dis
trict court. Nevertheless, President
Wilson last May committed his
sentence to life imprisonment. 1t
is thought that Dempsey's youth
may have appealed to the Presi-
dent. Dempsey claimed to be only
10 years of age, but at the time of
being sentenced he made lengthy
speech and upon being questioned
by Judge Bunnell, concerning some
of the statements he made, it was
disclosed that if his statements We're
true, he was at least "a years old.

BIG ICE POOL HAS CLOSED;
is BIGGEST YET RECORDED

Guessing in the big annual Ne
mana ice pool, classic event of the
Northland, came to an end at mid
night, last night, and while it
is not possible at this time to give
the exact amount in the pool, it is
known that it will run considerably
over the $4,000 mark. More than
5000 tickets were disposed of in
Nenana and Fairbanks, and the
camps along the line, south of Ne
mana are yet to be heard from. 1t
is expected that they will send the
total over $4,000.
The Terminal led the Nenana list
of sales, with a total of 2,213, and
the Portland sold 1,476, in addition
to which there were the sales of
the railroad and N. c. store. Fair
banks reports sale of 1888 tick
cts.
| 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee in charge of the pool to list
all the guesses before placing the
tickets in the N. C. safe. This is a
new departure and is done as an
additional safeguard and to expe-
dite the work of determining the
winner when the ice goes out. All
of the other details in connection
with the big contest have been look
ed after and there is nothing to be
done now but to wait for the flag
to pull the wire which will stop the
clock in the power plant and start
the big commission whistle blowing.
Nearly everyone in Nenana has a
guess or more on the breakup and
some have many guesses. And in adj
dition there are several big pools,
the largest of which is known as the
Big X, representing total of 200
tickets.

CANNING NOTES

on. A. c. Home Economics Dcpt)
Why can bccts and carrots when
they may be stored in the cellar in the
fall and kept until late winter or early
spring?
First, because the small tender veg
etables have "a better flavor than the
older ones gathered in the fall.
Second, because in thinning the
rows of bects or carrots, some may be
kept for winter use which would 9TH
crwisc be wasted.
Third, they are cooked and ready
to serve at moments notice, and one
fire does for n number of meals.
Fourth, they may be used late in
the spring after the stored vegetables
are all gone or no longer fresh and
crisp.
Bccts and carrots canned by the
cold pack method taste like the fresh
product when opened in the winter.
Select small, uniform sized veget-
ablcs.
Leave onc-inch of stem and tail on
bccts to keep them from losing color
in blanching.
Blanch in boiling water for five
minutes.
Remove skins by scrapng-not
peeling.
Pack into jars-bects should b,
packed whole if possible. Cover with
boiling water to within one fourth
inch Of top. Add one teaspoonful OF
salt to each quart.
Add rubber, and coved screwed
down as tightly as possible with tn,
thumb and little finger.
Put in boiler or Gamer with boilint
water over tops Of cans. Boil for one
and onc-half hours.
Remove jars and tighten covers.

Of the country that is given to win
ming college teams.
Following two lean years in athlet-
les it would be surprising if Coach
Roy Campbell should turn out some
championship teams for Alma College
this year. However, it is not impos-
siblc. Campbell has reputation for
doing things in an athletic way. He
has the need Of two things, however.
One of these is good athletes. Alma
seems TO have the promise of these.
The other needed thing is the active,
interested cooperation Of the public.
Naturally Alma College offers the
same natural advantage that every
other college offers to the people of
its immediate locality-a wonderful
opportunity for the higher education
of the young people Of the vicinity,
who otherwise might not enjoy these
advantages.
As the fruits of the recent cndow-
ment campaign come from bud, this
promises to be more true with Alma
College than ever before, as Alma
College will be better prepared than
ever before to furnish strong courses
to the young people Of the vicinity.

NOTICE RELATIVE TO GAR
BAGE DISPOSAL,

During the past few months the
garbage collection has not been sat
isfactOrily cared for and a great
many complaints have been turned in
to that effect. Due to this dissatis-
faction a new collector has taken
over the route and will endeavor to
successfully care for it. Possibly for
several weeks he will be unable to
find all the cans, but if anyone is
missed and will call 776-Black,
prompt attention will be given it.
We want the garbage from every
home in Alma and will gather it from
the resident districts twice each week.
A great many people bury their gar
bage and others throw it on the
ground. Undoubtedly many people
living in portions of the city where
the collector does not go because no
one in that section has saved their
garbage, would be glad to have it
taken away if they knew it would be
removed twice week regularly, and
That the collector will call at any res
ldcnce within the city limits if re-
qucsted to do so.
we not only want your garbage
now but in the winter as well. 1t is
used to feed swine and should be
kept free from all poison or broken
glass or anything that would in any
way be advertisement.

A QUAINT CURIO

We have in our office very quaint
and interesting specimen lent us by
Dr. Thornburgh, which he found in
his coal bin. 1t is a piece Of carbon
lied bark Of a prehistoric tree called
the Lipododendron that belonged to
the Carboniferous period and is one
of the ancestors Of our present day
ground pine or club moss, or Lycopo-
dunn. These trees grew to immense
proportions, have short but widely
spread out roots for absorbing much
nourishmcnt from the boys in which
they grew.
After explaining the peculiarties
about this curio, the doctor exclaimed,
ooh, if that could only talk to me and
tell its history when living million
or more years ago."
