The following extract from the March 6 Democrat Tribune, Jefferson City, Mo-, pertaining to the late Ralph E. Oldham, expresses similar senti- ment as that felt in Seward toward the oldtimer who passed away in the land of his adoption:
 Ralph E. Oldham, who died in Alas ka on February 14, was buried here yesterday, the service being conducted at the Presbyterian Church by Rev. w. H. Adams.
 Ralph was the son of John Miller Oldham and Isabel Armstrong Oldham who were descended from colonial plo' neers. He was born in West Virginia and was brought to Missouri by his parents when he was five years of age. He was educated in the klrks- vile Normal School and TOT several years engaged in teaching, being prln- cipal of the High School of Linn, Mis- souri. and in Jefferson City. Later he was superintendent of schools in this city.
 In 1897. he went to Alaska in com pany with Dante Barton, who was lat CT editor of the Kansas City Times. Tn that new territory Ralph engaged ln mining and engineering and he took the part of a progressive citizen in all the activities of the adopted residence. He stood for the ideals of learning, of fair dealing in industry, and upright living, In every situation in life, he acted with courage and generosity.
 He returned twice to Jefferson City to visit kindred, the last time being in 1905, but the call Of the north drew him back.
 Letters received yes.erGay from AL aska gave the first tidings of the last hours of his life. On the morning ot the 14th he went as usual to his work but returned little later because he was not feeling well. While talking to one of his friends in his room. he was seized with heart failure and passed away in a few minutes, surrounded by old friends and apparently out suffering
 Services in his memory were held in Anchorage, Alaska by Alaskan Plo- neers of which order he was a mem

SEWARD DAY

This day in Alaska history is desig. mated as one on which due observance shall be made toward perpetuating the name of the statesman whose fore sight was responsible for the acquisi- tion of this vast territory in which we live-William Henry Seward.
 Born in Florida, Orange county, N. Y., May 16, 1901, he at an early age developed a political tendency. In 1880 was elected member of the New York senate. Displaying marked abil- ities as a politician he was in 1888 and 1S40 chosen as governor of his na- tive state, and in 1S49 was elected to the United States senate. In 1860 he was a candidate for the presidency, but was defeated by Abraham Lincoln under whom he received the appoint nent of secretary of state, continuing in that office after the assassination of the great emancipator. In internat- lCudl pOflllSS llS ulSplSCu SiOot toS'' especially in dealing with the Trent Affair" with Great Britain, and in in- ducing France to withdraw her troops from Mexico, and also in effecting the cession of Alaska to the United States by Russia, in 1867, and upon this day the first step toward the acquisition was taken.
 Within few short years after the purchase one of the most brilliant lives in the political history of the United States came to a close, on Oc- tober 10, 1872, at Auburn, Cayuga county, New York.
 That William Henry Seward will ever live in the minds of the Ameri- can people is paramount, and will en- tlure as long as the Territory of Alas ka is on the map. On this day con- sideration must be given to the man who made possible our living in this land of promise.

there is little more to be told.
Stricken with tuberculosis,
broke, knowing he has but one
chance to live and lacking the
money to enable him to take that
chance, but grinning gamely thru

The odds against him seem al

strength, he's fighting, as you've

Tony Scanspieco, a young boy, yester-
day plugged the broken end of a gas
pipe with his finger while his baby
sister frantically sought aid over a
telephone
A connection on the pipe became
loosened and fell to the floor With
out moments hesitation, Tony
scrambled to the top Of the hot stove,
shutting off the flow of gas. His sis
ter crawled to the telephone, The
operator was unable to understand the
cries she heard, but notified the po-
lice, who within few minutes broke
into the house and shut off tine gas.
His shoes scorched and his face
drawn with pain. Tony persisted In
sticking at his post until assured that
all danger of an explosion was over.
