PRINCE OF. PERVARICATORS

When it comes to fish stories, we have a man in our town who IS entitled to the banner. He just presses the button connected with the imaginative section of his brain and stories unfold like the film of a motion picture machine. The other day he reeled off this one. He said one day he took notion in his head that a bullhead might be trained to live on land just as we'll as in the water. So he caught his fish, deposited him in tank in the kitchen and be- gan the process of gradually ac- euEtoming his new acquisition to the new environment. The first day he kept the bullhead out of the water five minutes, the second ten, and so on, increasing the length of time until it was able to remain out of the water indefi- nitely. The fish became so tame it would actually follow him all about the house, eating food out of his hand, and seemingly as hap Py and contented as when swim ming in the lake. But one unfor- tnnate day the fish strayed down to the lake, wandering out on the dock, fell through a crack and was drowned. Truly Alaaka's ex- hilarating air and shimmering lakes have a peculiar influence upon the imagination. ,.......A- .-.--.

OLDTIMER DIES SUDDENLY
 WHILE ON WAY DOWN RIVER

Harry Beacn, well known old. m- CT of the Northlaud, who was severe ly fros1bitten while on the Circle trail last winter. died suddenly on Saturday while enroute to the scene of the wreck of the steamer Panama, where he was to have acted as watchman. He was a passenger on board the Allard mail launch when his death occurred.
 A wire from Allard, from Tolo- vana, to Deputy Marshal Hagan, reported the death and informed the officer that the body of the old timer had been placed in a cabin on the old Howell millsite, a few miles below Nenana. His death is said 10 have resulted from heart trouble, although Beach was ir ap- parent good health when he left for the lower river.
 Deputy Hagan and U. s. Commis- sioner C. D. Leckie made trip down river yesterday and brought the body to town, where the inquest will be held.
 4 wire was sent to Hot Springs instructing Allard to return to Ne mana as soon as possible and the inquest will be deferred pending his arrival here.
 The deceased was member of the Pioneers Of Alaska and it is likely that organization will take charge of the funeral arrangements.

King Disclaims
 Self-Interest
 In New Charter

Speaking at a Republican rally held in the High school last night, John T. King declared he was in favor of new charter for the city.
 'I don't know what is in mind in the proposed changes, he said, "and don't know the purpose of the pro posed revision. bIlt l have no selfish interest in it. A Democratic mayor will name the commission, but I do know the charter needs revision. It makes no difference what the purpose IS.
 t"The committee appointed will have to present the changes to the people in some form, and when they do that we have the right to act, whether we wish to approve or not. I am always in favor of any movement which will make the people think in their own behalf I am in favor of a yes vote on the charter question
 Other speakers at the rally were Col. Hiram Bingham, canG~cate for Heutenant-governor on the Republi- can ticket and Congressman Schuyler Merritt. Col. Bingham placed the non-voter in the same class with the war stacker and Congressman Merritt defended the rluch-abused tar1rr passed by the last Congress. Mrs. Ella G. F1eck, vice chairman of the town committee. called the meeting to order. and Mrs. Alice I. Smith, caan didate for the Board of Educa- ton, was permanent chairman.

 The Agricultural Bloc" in both branches of Congress is alre2dy plan ming to take leading part in what ever efforts are made to amend he transportation act and 1t is known that Senator Capper (Es) Of Kansas, Is dctremined to force amendatory legislation which ne and his associates from so-caIled agricultural states hope VIII bring down freight rates tor the farmers.
 There are ample indications that the farmers group in the Snase and House will answer organized labor's demand for c living wage by de- cIaring that the farmer is also en- titled to one and thar the wages os railroad workers cannot be fairly or. cconnonsicaIly boosted ct flse cx- pense of the asriculturalist Avho isf now paying almost s,rohsbi.ive freighf rates.

 "I am in favor of anti-strike 1egis- lation with respect to every Industry wherein the government undertakes to do justice to the employees by .es- tablshing fair and reasonable wages '' said CumTnins.
