There is lots Of lumber along the
Alaska Government railroad and near
the coast that, is wanted for paper
making but the Forestry Bureau now
with the Department Of Agriculture
has kept It inact. IL is now suggest
ed that the control Of the forests be
transferred to the Department Of the
Interior. Wonder why? !? Keep an eye
On Alaska. Keep anseye on the great
water powers that might become pub

never will. Wonder why? Don't get

u.s. A Seat in the Senate
n Every thinking man and woman
should read the splendid address OF
Senator Kenyon, the leader of the
agricultural bloc, made in the Senate
December 21st opposing the seating Of
Truman H. Newbury Of Michigan as
United States Senator. 1t is said that
Newbury's seat in the Senate cost not
less than $3.50 900. This was spent u
the primaries and general election to-
win the toga. st M n.
There is a merry fight on IN the
Se.sata and according as the SenatS
votes it is said the price for Sem

parceled out at$260, 900 pei, show

see. paid for travelling and other ex-
penses $187, and the good, people Of
North Dakota gave me q seat. Fort
unately you got the start and seated
your candidate before the new price
schedule was established. 3: s,s#
( Let us see, farmers. At $1.O0 per
bushel it would take 260, 900 bushels
Of wheat for a Senatorial toga. At
@12 bushels to the acre a North Dakota
farmer would have to donate his crop
of wheat from 81, 1895 acres of land
in payment for the seat. The oat
farmer would get seat when oats
sell at 20 cents per bushel for 1900
900 bushels Of good sound oats. The
farmer from the corn belt would have

Write Senator william s. Kenyon
for copy of his speech on the Michi-
gan Senatorial election and then think
it over and see what You think about
ii. Shall Senatorial seats be put up at
auction and sold to the highest bidder ?
