When Big Row Started

The trouble between France and
Germany started 1886 years ago. Al
Verdun, in the year S43, Charle
mange's three grandchildren quar-
relied over grandpa's will and divide
his property. Strongest of the thrs
Louis the German. He took for hl'
share, land which has become know
as Germany Charles the Bold go
the kingdom of the Franks, west d
the Rhine-roughly speaking, moden
France. The third brother, Lothaire
was weakling So he got only th'
scrops, territory neither of his broth1
ers coveted at the time. These scrap
included Alsace. Lorraine, HOLLAND
Belgium. Switzerland and strip d|
northern Italy. Descendants y
Charles the Bold and Louis the Gef1
man began fighting for Lothaire1
property. They've been fighting ovsl
parts of it, ever since, so we ca|
scarcely expect the dispute to be se'1
tied quickly.-Capper's Weekly.

he said: "Never explain; your friends
do not need it and your enemies will
not believe you anyway"
And l would not now reply were it
not for the fact that what Lake has
published to some extent reflects
upon the District Attorneys office
and for that reason / think that a
public statement of the real truth
should be made by me. The original
affidavit referred to by Lake was
sworn to by George Sullivan, and a
carbon copy of the same affidavit was
sworn to by Ted Knowles, the names
only being changed. Doubtless this
illustrates quite clearly the exact re-
lationship' of these two estimable
gentlemen. And into the murky
depths of these two affidavits reached
my friend Lake and snatched forth
this choice morsel to hurl at me in
the attempt thereby to 'besmirch my

RAKING SOME MUCK

Last weeks News-Champion con-
tanned an article on the proceedings
recently had in the District Court.
in which particular pains had been
taken to set out and call attention to
portions of two similar affidavits in
which it was alleged that this writer
had offered an attorney for certain
bootleggers. the attorneys name not
being given, that if he would induce
his clients to declare that they had
purchased liquor from DR.. Geo. Sui
livan then this writer would see that
the cases then pending in Justice
court of this county would be dis
missed
1t is needless to say that this ma
licious article was prepared and
written by Henry F. Lake. 1t is wei,
known that for many years this same
Lake has taken every possible oppor-
tunity to malign and misrepresent
me through the columns of his paper

 One of the most important results of the kind of service we hope to establish will be the reduction of the cost of mining. Every time the min ing costs are reduced more mines will be investigated and operated This will be affected in part by the elimination of an enormous part ot time spent in attending the arrival of trains or boats, which will be obviat ed by an exact knowledge of all trans portation carriers. This knowledge will ultimately be available to every town, hamlet, camp, and fox farm IL this great northern empire. Not only knowledge, but pleasure will be dis seminated-all the news and programs and musical concerts of the States will be possible as large broadcast ing station will be installed.

MARTIN GOES TO COLD BAY

c. G. Martin, of the geologic sur vey, passed through Seward on the Watson for Cold Bay, where he will spend part of the summer investigat- ing the oil field and will make re- port on the oil fields of southwestern Alaska. He states that almost the entire appropriation received by the survey from congress for this years work will be used to investivate the oil fields in Alaska. The navy de partment has also turned over to the geologic survey an appropriation re- ceived by that department for inves- tigation of the Arctic oil fields, which the navy may develop for government use.
