NR. EALL ALsO WELCOME

The President according to advices from Washington, still is sincerely desirous of making trip to Alaska during the coming summer
 He will extend his projected western tour to the territory if Congress adjourn at a sufficiently early date. His plans, how .vcr. are contingent upon the course of the houses. He cannot leave the national copi- tal SO long as they are in session.
 Seattle should not relax in its efforts to have Mr. Harding make this trip. It IS yitalv necessary that he should see for him self what thc Northland needs It is desir- able that friends of Alaska in this city should proceed on the theory that Congress will adjourn and the President be at liberty tomakc the trip until the contrary is proved true.
 Whether Inc Chief Executive can or can not make the territorial journey, Secretary of the Interior Fall should be warmly urged to do so
 Had Secretary Payne been in office carly i'm the Wilson administration, there is no question that his visit to Alaska would have been of great benefit Coming as 1t did. at the conclusion of Mir. Wilson's sec ond term. it was unfortunately productive of limited results.
 Mr. Fall will deal with numerous mat tcrs of importance to the Northland during theucNt year. He and the great mdeve.op- ed empire both will profit from visit at this early stage in the administration s at- fairs
 Mr. Fall will be welcome to Seattle and to Alaska. whether he comes in the presi- dcutial party or alone.
 Every effort must be made to impress that fact upon the present head of the m- tcrior Dcpmmcut-Scattlc Times.

ALARTNE STRIKE

The marine strike is beginning to as- sumc grave proportions insofar as 1t con- ccrs Alaska. Noactual suffering will ever be felt in Southeastern Alaska for food as long as the Canadian boats rm but the western part of the Territory will within a few days be very short of many things to cat
 On account of the state of the markets, many merchants in that section of the com- try have not been carrying big stocks and with the strike coming on. many people be- came rather pauicky and began buying i'm larger quantities than usual and as con- sequence stocks have become almost de- plctcd
 It is nconceivabIc that the government will allow the people of the North to actu- ally want for anything and we are expect ing at auv time to hear that a Shipping Board vcscI. a revenue cutter or cruiser win be dispatched to Alaska with supplies of various kinds
 In the meantime we may expect that some mxurics to which we have become ac- customcd. things that are only produced in the United States, will be off the market
 Many people are taking the matter phi losophically knowing that the matter of adjustment of wages of marine workers must be fought out at some time, and satis- fled that 1t is better that it should be done now SO that it will be settled and over with.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 24.-Dif-
ferences in the Fordney emergency
tariff bill were smoothed put today
by conference committees of con-
gress, and the battle-scarred measure
was sent back 10 the house for final
action.
Although the bill has parliamen-
tsry right to consideration tomorrow,
it was deemed unlikely that it would
be called UP before Saturday, Some
supporters, however, may compel
earlier consideration
A the bill stands, it carries
a flat rate Of 2 cents pound tariff
on sugar The senate amendment
which was considerably higher. was
slashed TO pieces and new rate i'll
substitution for the present tariff on
sugar was accepted. The proposed
tariff. therefore, amounts to a dou-
bling of the import duties on sugars
of all grades, making Cuban sugat
pay duty of ST 90 100 pounds and
a similar rate on molasseS and kin
dred sugar products. /
Senate Rates Cut.
While agreeing to the sugar tar
iff, the house conferees stood pat
OH refusal to permit tariff on
hides and leather products. They like
wise forced reduction OF 50 cents
a pound from the senate rate on GER
tain classes Of tobacco. The senate
rate of cents pound on cherries
was cut to 3 cents.

There was speculation tonight

Court Authorizes
Sale of Armour
Yards Interests
Packing Firm Disposes of 20
Shares of Chicago Stock to
Prince & Co.-Othcr
Cases Continued.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Sale by
Armour & Co. OF its interest in the
Chicago stockyards to f. Fl. Primo.
& Co. OF Boston was authorized
today by the District OF Columbia
supreme court, As the packing
company owned only 20 shares OF
stock in the yards and Prince & Co.
the remainder, the government in
terposed no objections. The price
paid was 81, l,500,0QR
The court also consented to the
sale by Armour & Co. of 40 shares
of the Denver stocqyards stock to
George Granger. The price was not
made public.
Hearings on other features of the
revised plans of the five big packers
for disposal of their stockyards,
terminal and market newspaper hold
ings in accordance with the voluntary
decree issued about year ago, were
continued until Monday. ..
The court intimated plans filed
by Morris & Co, Wilson & Co.
and the Cudahy Packing company.
providing immediate surrender OF
their holdings to a trust company
to be named by the court, were most
nearly in accordance with the idea
in the mind of the court. The trust
company would be under control OF
the court. Technical objections only
have been presented by the govern
ment to the Morris and Cudahy plans
and no objections have been inter
posed to the Wilson plan.
Much OF the argument had to do
with the plans submitted by Swift
& Co. and by Armour. Assistant
Attorney General Kresel contendcd
that the Swift and Armour plans did
not provide for all early and COM
pletc Investment or for absolute CON
troll BY the court during the sale.
He declared that on some OF the
stock a prohibitive price was being
placed by the packers, asserting that
they were holding the St. LOUIS yards
at $l20 per share, when Wilson q
Co. had admitted that the best Of
fer made to them for their holdings
there had been only $88.
Attorneys for Armour denied a
prohibitive price was being asked
and asserted that except in few
instances the priN fixed was far
below the stock value and the value
fixed by appraisers. Counsel for
Wilson explained that the price was
due to the feeling among investors
that the court would order an inl-
mediate sale at any obtalnablc
figure,

For Aerial
Mail Item
Expected Opposition 10
$l,250,OO0 Appropriation in
Postofficc Bill Dissipatcd
By Jcffcris.
Value Of Training Cited
BY L. c. SNYDER.
Washington Corrcspcndent Omaha Bee.

Washington. u. C., Feb. "a
Especial Telegram What looked
like a perfectly hopeless proposition,
getting the house OF representatives
to agree to the conference report on
the postoffice appropriation bill with
trc item OF $l,250,00O for the air mail
service, was completely dissipated
today through the masterful tact and
good nature OF Congressman Jefferis.
Congressman Tincher of Kansas,
the Fat boy from Medicine Lodge,
began the verbal fireworks i'll oppo-
sitiou to the conference report by
roking fun at Omaha. He said the
item, while of interest to some cities.
was really an advertisement for the
Gate city and lie thought 81 100000
was entirely too much money to pay
for a useless toy, even though an
Omal # congressman stood for the
rap Oh the treasury.
Passes Over Jabs.
Big jeff" who has learned not "a
take his colleagues too seriously,
passed lightly over the jabs from tho
man from Medicine Lodge and dis
cussed the appropriation from a higI,
plane and from a>national stand
point. He injected human interest
in his speech By telling a story of
young Settlers, who has built an air
plane on an entirely new principle
and so interested his father in its de-
vclopment that pater began expert
mcnts on his own hook with the res
suit that heavier than air machine
shortly may be sent up that will
completely rcVOlutlonize exising
standards. He told of the interest
Young America was showing in the
navigation of the air and predicted
that vast benefit would accrue from
this youthful enthusiasm.
He spoke of the training it would
| give the men in the event of war
and the vast benefit that would grow
out OF bringing the west and the
east closer together.
Floor Leader Aids Cause.
Floor Leader Mondell aided the
cause not little by calling upon
! the house to sustain the conference
report predicting dire things for
legislation if the appropriation bills
were thrown back in conference
t Songressman Madden who. while
openly opposed to the air mail serv-
ice because of its cost in contrast
! with rail transportation, also took
the position that the house was play
ing with fire if it rejected the con-
ference report.
After two hours largely devoted
No the discussion of the air mail
service, the item was retained in the
bill by vote OF 22l to III, Rep
resentativcs Evans, Andrews and
Reavis voting against the item and
! Jefferis, kinkaid and Mclaughlin
for the air mail service and the con-
! terence report.
