SUTHERLAND DENIES
 MAKING ANY DEALS

gale to fatlIy these performances. The people of Alaska look to him to repudiate them.
 The administration asks for the de- cgate's endorsement of cand;date5 for federal offices in Alaska Members of the senate and the house have refused to endorse candidates unless they are acceptable to the delegate.
 There was an excellent field of can didates from which to select good eff cient men. The national committeeman saw fit to make his selections for req sons of political expediency. The dele gate declined to rubber stamp some of his selections. There was no pretense of selection of these minor officials by organized action. NIr. Mcbride makes his selections at his will from among his close friends and associates at Ju- leau. The republicans in Alaska never placed any such powers in his hands nor do they expect the delegate to sup. >ort him in that method of selection. have joined him in endorsement o. nen who were not of my selection, but 1 decline to follow his lead in some cases.
 Regarding the candidacy of MT. Hazelet 1 have only to say that long before the appointment of Governor Bone, Mr. Mcbride and 1 were noti- fled by Secretary Fall that neither MT. Hazelet nor Judge Wickersham would be appointed and we were urg- ed to settle upon some other Alaskan candidate to whom there would be no objection by the people of the Terri tory. MT. Mcbride did not see fit to act in the matter but still insisted up- on the appointment of Mr. Hazelet, and the result was the appointment of an outsider.
 It might be well for all parties to Alaskan political strike to remember that the secretary of the Interior se- lects the governor of Alaska and when he asks for a candidate other than Judge Wickersham and Mr. Haz- elet he meant just what he said.
 Before the Cordova Club I stated emphatically that the principal issue of the campaign was the enforcement of law and that meant that with a change of administration new and bet ter officials would be placed in office. It is my purpose to see that such are selected. This administration cannot afford to appoint men to office who will acquiesce in a continuation of pre- sent conditions in the Territory, and furthermore, the delegate and not the organization will be held responsible for the appointment of incompetent officials.
 In the matter of these appointments l am not confining myself to indivi- duals, as there are many excellent ap- plications for federal positions. I do not intend to endorse incompetents just because the organization does so, nor will stand for the system of bar ter that has been adopted by MT. Me Bride since his arrival at Washington.

Thursday, September First ushered in the hunting season for 1921 and war was declared on Moose, Sheep, Goat, and all feathered varities of game that can be shot at, run down, or scared to death. Hunters have been leaving town with all sorts of guns. Some with rifles, others with shot guns, and still others with small 22's. The only notable gun that still remains in town belong to Jerry, the popular janitor of the depot. It has a hole in the end of it at big as a stove pipe, and Jerry used it in "hunting elephants in Africa" If charge from this piece ever hits a moose, it will make hole in the animal that will be high, wide and handsome. Jerry left town rather mysteriously a few weeks ago to stake out large hunt ing reserve, and to also size up the tracks of the moose to see which way the darn things would be heading. Jer- ry is now in town but should you hear a big explosion some where out the line, inquire if Jerry is still at the depot; If he is then you will know it

Montgomery. January S,-(Specal)- Alabama railroads will not be permitted to make an increase in the combination rates on cotton, lumber. coal and build ing rAaterials consigned to points where there is no regular movement.
 The public service commission today refused the petition Of ]. Fl. Glenn as agent for the railroads. for permission to cancel the rules for making the com bination rates which have been in effect since the director-general of railroads au thorized specific increases in the rates on these commodities.
 The commission found that the cancel lation of the rules would mean ma ! terial increase in rates to persons wh2 { have no regular movements of these 1 classes Traffic associations Of Alabama ! entered a vigorous protest against the cancellation of the rules. The commits sion also disapproved Mir, Glenn's peti-
 ton for the establishment of maximum
 carload weights on grain and grain products.
 The Alabama Water company which 1 operates the water plant at Decatur and Albany was given such an increase in ] rates as will give it an annual gross revenue of $750Oo instead of S60,0o0. l The petition of the Central of Geor- gia railroad for the closing of the Iagencies at Saco, Calcis ano lScawright was granted with the pro vision that the commission may order the agencies opened again without fur

 Decision of the supreme court today in
 the case of the Maryland Casualty com pany against the state in case which has been before boards of compromise land courts for nearly eight years, gave the state a complete victory and required the Casualty company to pay the state all

 MUST PAY CITY The board of revenue contended that u was not due the city the money, because it has already expended larger sum iA inc Improvement of streets within the city than the city is entitled to under she flaw of 1909 which required the city to eX- ! pend it's share in the maintenance of cer- | tain streets leading to and from the courthouse which are mentioned in tne act. The supreme court said this was
 not the proper compliance with the 2ct, i as the law plainly says the board ot revenue shall apportion the fund, paying | the city it's share and putting the duty of maintaining the streets enumerated solely on the city.
 | This decision means that the board ot revenue must find some method of oo' ltaining the iInds which are due the city or must make an arrangement with tht city which will be satisfactory to the
 city government.
 i THE SECOND CASE
 In the second or companion case, tn' supreme court upheld a writ of man ) damus requiring the. board of revenu to cancel resolution adopted June + i1920 which provided that the special fa'
 should be used in retiring and protect ing road bonds, instead of being use directly in the improvement and maih.e nance of the roads. The board contende that the act providing for the appol . t;onment between the city and count and the improvement of roads was u1s cretionary with the board of revenue ar. 9 ,not mandatory, and that the board eou,
