Rome.-The death OF Pope Benedict
XIV Is announced. The end came with
appalling suddenness, since his holt
ness was believed to be suffering
merely from a severe cold which was
expected to yield to treatment.
Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary
OF state, made public the fact OF the
death Of the pope.
His holiness had been suffering for
some days, having contracted double
pneumonia, and treatment began too
late.
During the early hours Of the morn.
Ing, toward o'clock, there was q sud
den change for the worse and the
bronchial affection from which his holt
ness had been suffering for several
days, spread to his lungs.
The pontlff asked for and received
the last sacrament, insisting upon this,
IF only to give a good example," he
said, despite attempts by his attend
ants TO dlssuade him.
The pope's physicians were In CON

ROAD COMMISSION TO
 ISSUE VALUABLE MAP

A new wall map of Alaska is to be issued by the Alaska Road Con- mission about September i, according to Col James G. Steese, president of the commission. First proofs of the section covering the western half of the Territory have just been received by the commission and the eastern section is expected soon.
 The data for the map is being con- piled by the American Geographical Society and the printing being done at Washington. There will be many changes shown on the new map from the ones now in use, said Colonel Steese. It will contain all of the late developments, all of the information gathered by the commission since 1913, Colonel Steese made two trips to New York and Colonel Gotwals one last winter while they were in the States to furnish the Geographical Society with information. Records of the days of Russian occupation of the Territory are also being used by the society in it's compilation.
 The new map will be 50 inches by 65 inches. It will scale 20 miles to one inch. The first map of the commis- sion was issued in 1913. A new one was printed in 1916 which was re- hash of the first one, containing little new data and was in general based on the 1913 map.

DEMOCRATS ARE TIMlD

With West Virginia's normal vote about 25000 Republican and memory of the 10000 majority given President Harding, the Democrats are a little timid about getting into the race. However, they are cheered by the re- action from the Harding administra- tion and the industrial difficulties that have arisen under State Republican regime.
 Only two candidates are seriously scussed-former Governor John J. Cornwen, of Romney, and former Senator William E. Chiffon, Charles ton. When Cornwell retired from the office of governor he accepted a di- rectorship in the Baltimore x Ohio Railroad, which gave rise to much speculation as to whether or not he had retired from politics. Chiffon, 'tis said, has declared he will not run unless Cornwell is a candidate. The men are bitter political enemies.
