NO SIMPLE TASK FOR MACDONALD
 TO RULE LABOR

LONDON, Jan. 26.-James Ramsay Macdonald, leader of the first Labor Opposition in the House of Commons, Is finding that he has no easy task be- fore him: At present he is running team of Iindividualists. The members of the party range from aristocrats like Ar thur Ponsonby-who was page of honor to Queen Victoria; dry intel lectuals like Sidney Webb, a univer- sity professor who is popularly reput- ed to swallow Parliamentary records for breakfast, to Communists like J. lT. w. Newbould. who wants to carry the red flag into the House of Com mons itself. Mutual cooperation, dis cipline, teamwork are yet uncertain quantities.
 Macdonald Able There is every reason to believe, however, that this dour Scotsman will soon bring them about. In the first week of the present Parliament Jack Jones was suspended from the Commons by the Speaker for refer ring to the Government as "dirty dogs" Next day he turned up and humbly apologized for using "docker's language" in the House. He had had five minutes with the leader of his party, and he emerged chastened soul.
 Ramsay Macdonald, whose mother worked with her hands to give him an education, started life as school teacher Then he became secretary to a Member of Parliament. At the age of 22 he joined the Labor Party and quickly became one of it's great intellectual forces
 From 1906 to 1918 he sat in Parlia- ment, where he became known as one of the greatest debaters and more adroit politicians in the Commons Time after time he was offered hlgh office by the Government in order to huv off his deadly opposition. His re- fusal was as contemptuous as it was constant.
 At the outbreak of the war he be- came it's most powerful opponent lie opposed it on every ground and quick 1v became-except among a small faithful band of folloWers-the most unnonular and execrated man in the country. In fact, his life never really was safe. But he did not change his views.

KANSAS PASTOR HELPS FLOCK
 FINDS MATES

KEATS, Kan, Jan. 25.-Claiming that the traditional joys of single "blessedness" are nothing more than a. hoax. and that the church's first duty is to assist in helpful activities of the community, Rev. C.. E. Wood, pastor of the Keats Methodist Church, has organized Get Acquainted Club"-object, matrimony! Announce. ments of the clubs existence appear. ing in papers published in nearby towns have broadened its scope un- til applications for enrolment have been received from every village and hamlet in the Sunflower State.
 '"It is utter folly for women whose mates have been snatched from them by the Grim Reaper to at tempt to weather the vicissitudes of life unaided and alone," Rev. Wood declared. with this thought upper, most in my mind and solely wishing to make myself useful to this com munity, the club was started on its career"
 The church here, of which Rev. Wood is pastor and which is the only church in town, has become a community center.
 Widow Is Wary
 Efforts of Doctor Wood to estab- fish matrimonial agency" on a statewide scale have met with en- thuiastic responses from lonely wid, ows and widowers. Some of the letters which the minister has re- ceived reveal the practicability of his idea. Here is sample "S. o. S." from a correspondent at Manhattan, Kansas, which Rev. Wood has in his files:
 Dear Sir have heard about your Get Acquainted Club and have wished I were near enough to join. In a town even as large as Manhattan poor widow who has to work for a living doesn't have much chance to get acquainted. 1 am ten years the senior of the widower you speak of, but if you have any older men who might write to lonely poor widow I would feel very grateful. For fear this is only a joke 1 am not sending my name with this letter, but will watch the paper for an answer and send my name later if desired.
 "(Signed Yours, F."
 Her letter was answered through a Manhattan paper, and Rev. Wood promptly received her name and address, he said.
 Names Kept Secret
 Names of correspondents are shrouded in utmost secrecy, accord ing to Rev. Wood. No name is given to another correspondent, eX cept with the permission of its owner. Prospects, for matrimony are brought together by having them exchange letters through the minister, without divulgence of names unless satisfactory to both entrants
 An addition to the church in the nature of large room for indoo' sports, community dinners and whole rc,1e recreation of all kinds wa. rr"ort1v completed hy citizens. Il was bui-t wholly by volunteers, cap l,aI ~n0 tabor.
 "0uy --.ual membership is around I101," Rev. Wood explained, but virtually every man, woman and child in this immediate territory finds in the church natural meet ing place; and they are all welcome
 There has been evidenced req need for the Get Acquainted Club. It is in keeping with my idea of ser vice to the community, and I an only too willing to sponsor it."
 Rev. Wood came to Keats at the close of the World War. He was formerly engaged in "Y" service overseas.

OIL RESERVE IN ARCTIC IS
 GOVT. PLAN
Millions of Acres Held for Development in
 Future

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S. - An nouncement of the setting aside of 20,O00,000 acres of Alaska land for Naval oil reserve, as contained in yesterdays dispatches, is explained today by the statement that the land thus held by the Government lies in the northern section of the Territory between the Colville River on the east and the Arctic Ocean on the west. The reservation order holds for oil and gas only, and will not interfere with the use of land for other purposes. The reserve lands affected are to be reserved for six years for classification, examination and the preparation of plans for their development, and thereafter until Congress or the President otherwise orders. The order establishing the reserve also sets forth the fact that large seepages of petroleum along the Arctic coast of Alaska, together with conditions favorable to the oc- currence of valuable petroleum fields there made the action advisable.

Strenuous Efforts Keep Fire Within Walls;
 Damage Heavy

FAIRBANKS, Feb. 2S.-Fire which broke out at three o'clock Sunday morning in the Lavery and Bailey building in the heart of the business district, completely gutted the struc- ture and threatened for a time to destroy the center of the town. By heroic efforts on the part of the fire and citizens of the town, the blaze was confined within the walls of the building, where it was finally quelled. The loss suffered by the firm is estimated at $10,000. Urdaunted by the disaster, however, the company reopened for business on Monday morning, setting up it's stock in the quarters occupied by it's old store on the corner of Third and Clshman Streets.

SALMON CONTROL NEAR

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. 2S.-Though no agreement can be effected with Canada to limit fishing for sockeye salmon next year, the State Fisheries Board is confident that a new plan will be put into effect before 1924. Cana dian authorities seem willing to agree to stop all sockeye fishing during even numbered years for a period and then open the even years and close fishing in odd-numbered years. This plan, it is urged, would gradually permit the Fraser river run to be restored, or in any event would greatly improve the situation. The proposed regula- tion would not affect other verieties of salmon.
 In the meantime the Washington board is rapidly building up a good run of humpbacks, and within an other biennium or two 1t is believed satisfactory run of these fish will be guaranteed in Puget Sound waters.

MILLENNIUM DAWN SEEN IN
 FIFTY YEARS
Predicts Era of Science Will Eliminate Many
 Human Ills AIR TRANSIT BE COMMON
Radio, Electricity and Radium to Supplant
 Cruder F actors

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-Streets in the air, with traffic regulated by air "cops" the same as the corner traffic man semaphores the automobile to- day; development of the radio to replace the telephone and ta'egraph; abandonment of railroad lines so far as passenger service is concerned, and realization of the city perfect are predicted as the development of the next fifty years in America by Alexander H. Revell, Chicago furni- ture dealer.
 Streets in the air for airplane traffic will be indicated as clearly in the future as our surface streets now are, Revell predicts. The char acter of buildings will have been changed to permit landing of planes on roofs, he believes.
 Autos Obsolete
 "It will mean nothing at all for us to pick up our transmitter in 1873, tell our stenographer we will land in the office in our plane in minute, and request her to be ready for dictation," MT. Revell said.
 "The automobile will be seen on the street as rarely as the horse is seen now. Airplane roadsters, tour ing cars and racers will not be un- heard of, and speedways with air plane races are not an impossibility.
 Chicago will be a great seaport with two routes of access to the sea. One will be through the St. Lawrence waterway and will connect Chicago with the Atlantic Ocean; the other will be through the Illinois River and the drainage canal, down the Mississippi River to New Orleans"
 Radium for Coal
 Problems of various cities which are struggling to overcome the smoke nuisance will have been solved in fifty years by the substitution of electricity and radium for coal Ad- vancement in medicine will make it possible, Revell believes, to reduce crime to minimum, not by refor- nation or punishment, but rather by the removal of incentive for wrong doing.
 This will be done by eliminating the congested tenement districts of the larger cities, and placing the child in an environment that will bring out latent talents. By the same method disease, insanity and vice will have been overcome, he believes.
 Governmental business will prog ress also, and will have become 100 per cent efficient, Revell declared, and mail service will be practically automatic and unbelievably rapid.

ANNETTE ISLAND NOT PROPERTY
 OF AMERICA
Natives of Metlakatla Were British Citizens,
 Says Wickersham
FIGHTS PAYMENT OF TAXES
Rights of Territory tc Collect From Cannery
 Are Disputed

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 29.--1hat the claim of the United States to title to Annette Islands, south of Ketchikan, Alaska, is bogus, is the contention of James Wickersham, special counsel for natives of the Island, in an argument made yester- day before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The contention of the attorney is being made in an effort to convince the court that the aboriginal Indians found on the is lands were English and not Ameri- cans. The case is one in which the Alaskan Territorial Government has sought to collect tax on the salmon canning output of the Annette Is- land Packing Company, a foreign concern operating on the island under a lease obtained from the State Department in 1917 This lease contained a clause stipulating that no tax should be imposed on lease-holders other than that collect ed by the Federal Government.

IRISH SLAYER MAKESESCAPE
 WITH EASE
Quits Scene of Crime Unrestrained; Family
 Feared Reprisal SHOWS DEM0RALIZED LAW Three Days Later the Authorities Arrest
 Suspect

DUBLIN, Feb. 2S.-Crime appar- ently sits lightly upon the con- sciences of many persons in Ireland. An exemplification of the demoral- ization of the people in certain dis tricts is afforded by the story of a tragic murder.
 A laborer in the Lettermore dis trict of Connemara, drunk with "moonshine," went to the home of Barbara King, who had in her GUS tody six young children, the eldest only ten years old. The woman and the children were sitting by the kitchen fire when the man entered. He locked up the children in room off the kitchen. The youngsters shrieked with terror, and the woman rose from her seat to pacify them.
 The man seized a heavy glass bowl from a nearby table and hurled it at the woman, killing her instantly Mrs Kings daughter entered the house a few minutes later. The man ottacked her and threatened her with the same fate. She promised him liquor if he would not kill her, and he agreed Later she induced him to go with her to a neighbours house, where he was given drink and his dinner, the occupants all the time knowing of the brutal crime he had committed only few hours before. His meal finished, the man departed without interference.
 Three days later the police and the corner heard casually of the crime. On their arrival they found the woman had been buried. Rela- tives of the slain woman said they had not reported her death because they feared reprisals on the part of the slayer.
 Arrangements were made for the exhumation of the body, and the Free State police now have in GUS tody the man who is believed to have committed the murder.
