Federal penitentiary in Columbus. Jimmy
was day drug clerk in the prison hospital
when Porter was night clerk, and often in
the evening he fingered to talk over his
experiences. Although Connors was
crook with a long record OF burgIaries he
was not guilty OF the one for which he
was serving time, but for fear of implicat-
ing himself in other robberies of which he
was guilty he shielded the real thief and
went to prison innocent. Later the Sheriff
who sent him up arrested the real culprit
and went to Washington to right the
wrong, but the inspectors knew Connors
and thought 1t best to hold him in prison

In 1908 an English agent arranged for
French translation and o. Henry donated
the money which he received to the English
Childrens Country Holiday Fund.
The story in French won instant popu-

TIME EXTENDED TO DEVELOP
 OIL LANDS OF TERRITORY

Instructions relative to the exten- sion of time for development of oil lands in Alaska under lease from the government were received recently at the Juneau land office. These instruc- tions were issued by the Department of Interior under the provisions of an act recently passed by Congress au- thorizing the extension of time to drill not to exceed three years.
 Under the original instructions rela- tive to claim development permittees had two years in which to commence drilling. In order to hold lease it was necessary to have drilled at least 800 feet at the end of the third year and 2000 feet at the end of the fourth year from the date of issuance of the permit. These limits can now be ex- tended under the act quoted above.

WANTS OF AMBITIOUS SEWARD
 ARE MANY
(From Juneau CapitaD

VI toLll Sdpildlj
 Seward now has a progressive and wide-awake newspaper and the Daily Gateway is doing it's best to awaken and maintain the enterprising spirit of the Terminus City And it has thought of so many things that the city needs and lniSht 5At " u: proper tfort tia, it is k.."iinE the i"ypH;;,ce busy to re n:en!bcr thcm all For a a time we had an idea that all the Gateway wanted was the capital of the Territory. But it seems there are also few other in cidentals that are necessary to it's peace of mind. Among them are the establishment of a land office; head quarters of the Alaska Road Commits sion; location of the court and officials for the Third division; headquarters of the United States Signal Corps; re organization of her Chamber of Com merce; transfer of Fort Liscum to Re surrection Bay, etc, etc. Some lauda- ble ambition for, as the Gateway says, Seward has probably some seven hundred people" But it is well that the Daily Gateway is not located at Juneau and trying to put over any of that enterprising stuff. It sure would be denounced by the leading citizens and their satellites and driven from their midst The old order of things must not be changed here. and any one who attempts it must, forsooth be viz orouslv boycotted."
 Despite the efforts of the Capital to start a backfre of ridicule, the move ment to remove the capital of Alaska to a point farther north, is slowely and steadily gaining ground. Anchorage, has endorsed it by a resolution to di- vide the Territory, in order to save a fight Cordova is whole heartedly be- hind the project, and Valdez is lining up nobly. Fairbanks and Nenana> can didates for the legislature are in favor of the proposition, and judged by ev- cry viewpoint it has better chance toI succeed than ever before.
 Seward does not want anything it is not entitled to, but it's citizens in com mon with the balance of Alaska, have allowed Juneau to annex every organi- zation of any moment, on the plea of standardization. She took the capital from Sitka, the road commission from Valdez, the fisheries bureau from Cor dova and the forestry headquarters from Ketchikan. Anything else of inn portance now located, there was talk en away from some other town. Is it not natural that they desire to central ize themselves?
 The Road Commission, Signal Corps, Fort Liscum and other projects are matters of secondary importance, but the interests of all Alaska demand that the capital be removed farther north.
 Can the Capital say that if the capi- tai of the Territory was located at Seward that the Territorial attorney general would be spending oui money briefs for Canadian shipping lines Would the Road commission be forced to keep two launches in service to wis it road projects? Would Juneau have been able to pull the forestry service from Ketchikan on the plea of centarl- ization? They would not.
 The capital3project is being well ad vertised, and we thankfully appreci ate any help, however small, extended it by the Capital
