TEAPOT DOME
(By Walt Mason)


 In strange and distant lands 1 roam, but ever, evermore, my thoughts re- turn to Teapot Dome and happy days of yore. Twas there our lowly dwelling stood, upon gentle rise, Twas there my father sawed his wood and mother biffed the flies. There was no trouble that could spoil our glad and cheerful days, until there came a plague of oil that jared us, forty ways. One day my father sought the well for refreshing drink; the water had an oily smell that put it on the blink. My aunts went forth to milk the kline, inured to useful toll, and came back home at half-past nine their buckets full of oil. "We need a rain," my father said, "to soak the parched soil," the clouds then gather ed overhead ,and soon were raining oil. Such oiliness destroyed our peace, and made our lives seem hard; the brooks were running melted grease, the springs all squirted lard. When father at the table chewed an egg or bacon rind he said, Tt tastes to me like crude, and I prefer refined" And so we left our happy home in sorrow and despair; we moved away from Teapot Dome; it was too oily there. My blow is cleaving other loam, but oft at night I dream, and dream again of Teapot Dome, where life was sure a scream.

THE ALASKA RAILWAY

After making a trip over the Alas ka Railway from Seward to Anchor age. the writer believes that even the most ardent knocker must admit that it is a good railroad, and that II has been of great benefit to the dis trict traversed. Hundreds of farms and dozens of small towns have their being directly due to the railway, and when one sees the fruitfuness of the country through which the railway track is laid, one cannot help but be- lieve that within few years an i'm mense tonnage will be built up along this route, both in agricultural and in mining products. It may be true that the farm products will have their if Alaska raises only enough vegeta- bles to supply the local markets at reasonable prices, it will be won- derful help to the country. The coal mines also may not be expected to compete with the Outside mines, but Alaska up to the present time has been paying from $15 to $19 for for eign coal, while the home product can be laid down along the railroad belt for half that amount.
 Col Lee H. andis, manager of the local railway system, has brought the operating cost down to a minimum, and to a level where the railway can pay operating expenses with a little over, provided the railway is patronized as it should be. His plans to operate local excursions between towns on the railway will do more than any one thing to eliminate the petty jealousies between towns, which have held back development and se- riosuly interfered with the manage ment of the railway.
 Unless every puslness concern in the railway belt stand squarely be- hind Mir. Landis in his operation of the road, and cease knocking every effort made to curtail expenses, the railway is doomed to failure, and in time will be leased to private con- panies, which means higher rates and more stringent economy.

THE COMMITTEEMAN
 MUDDLE

An attempt is being made to con- vince the people of Alaska that they are being ignored in the refusal by the National Committee to seat John w.. Frame as National committeeman for the Territory of Alaska. While the legislature passed law submitting the names of the delegates to the people for choice, the law was not binding inasmuch as the committee has the last word and must sanction the appointment of the committee man. The Alaska legislature cannot compel the seating of the person se- curing majority of the vote, nor can they compel the party to accept such choice, as he must be nominated and endorsed by the National Committee.
 Personally we do not believe that it makes a particle of difference to AL aska whether Republican politics are in the hands of former avowed Dem ocrat or a former avowed Republican, save that the party will be more com pletely disorganized than at the pres ent time. The Democratic organiza- tion under the leadership of T. J. Don oboe of Cordova, is we'll organized and generally comes to the polls with no contest for places. The Republicans have no trustworthy leader and and are thoroughly disorganized and dis gusted.
 Where the blame lies is uncertain. While the Wickersham element is in

Big Mining Company is Developing Property
 Al 6OO-Foot Level
Dawson News)

MAYO, June 1-The Treadwell Yu- kon Mining Company is developing it's mine at the 600-foot level, and condi- tions are very satisfactory.
 The Keno Hill, Limited, also has struck a good ore body in the lower level on the Friendship claim.
 Both companies are constantly in creasing their crews of men.
 It rained nearly whole week, caus- ing the roads to be in bad condition, but they are drying out fast. A small crew of men is working on the roads, draining, ditching and repairing.
 The steamer Canadian left here at ten thirty this morning with an ore barge.
 The steamer Klondyke went down stream in pieces, after turning bottom side up and dumping her machinery overheard, where it can be salvaged at low water if required.
 There are number of drummers here getting big, fat orders for this camp.
 The little steamer Klondyke was er- ected by Dave Frotheringham, on the Dawson waterfront, several years ago and made a number of trips from this port to Mayo. She was laid up in win ter quarters at Mayo last fall, but was caught by the ice this spring before she could be taken to a place of safe 1 ty.

control of politics in the Territory, are many Republicans who refuse to affiliate wit hthem, and others who vote scattered and singly, as their choice for office meets their approval or not. Unless some cohesion and or ganization can be effected, the Repub- lican party in Alaska might as we'll go out of business and join in with the Democrats. Bitter personalities have been injected into every campaign, with the result that with the excep- tion of the delegate and few politi- clans in the First division there is no unanimity and effectiveness. Until certain politicians cease these rule-or- ruin tactics, the party might as well take what it gets, which will be noth ing.
 As evidence of the loyalty of the nominee to the office of Republican Committeeman the following is cop jed from his paper of June IA.
 "The old Stand Pat Party reminds us of an old miner that lived in Ket- chikan ten years ago. He became i'll and left here for California where he got a little relief for short time but he was old and spent all his money lodging death, so he came back to AL aska again and went to the famous Bell Island Hot Springs near Ketchi- kan, where we happened to be at the time One day he came to me and said "my race is run, am going back to Ketchikan to die" He died on the way over here.
 Long before he realized it, every one knew he was near death. He was going, slowly, but surely, just as the Old Stand Pat Party in America is to- day. They are going, but do not yet realize it. As the old miner did, they will come back to Alaska to find their death."
 If the committeeman really believes the above he should be allowed to join the ranks of the new party and allow the Stand Patters to run their own affairs. Republicans of the La Toilette type have no place in the ranks, and mean dissension and end less pickering. If Mr. Frame is fol- lower of La Toilette, Borah or others of the progressives he cannot ably represent the Republican party.

the railroad, and it is a good one, and should help instead of harassing it's operation.
 The recent excursion shows that all talk of poor construction and in efficient operation is bunk, calculated to impress strangers, or those who have net made trip over the line. Under Col. Landis the road is being operated for the first time as a pub lie utility. He is treating all sections impartially and devoting his time to building up tonnage and reducing ex- penses. Let us get in and help him in his work.

GAINESVILLE, wis, July 2S.-
'"This issthe first time I ever was in
an airplane." said Cyril Walker,
open golf champion, as he crawled
from under an ,airplane which had
turned turtle on a wheat field q
mile from the GAINESVILLE Country
Club, land It will be- my last"
Walker, with Bobby Cruickshank,
missed the train at Minneapolis and
hired a. commercial airplanc to
reach GAINESVILLE, where they were
scheduled to give an exhibition game
at q o'clock. They arrived at 4,
after making false landing at
Evansville, twenty.one miles. away,
but just as they were scouting about
seeking a place to 'alight on the
country club grounds, the motor
quit and they went to earth q mile
away. The gasoline supply was ex.
hausted. The plane hit fair, but
skidded into a ditch and turned
turtle with pilot and passengers be-

FOR PRINCE OF WALES

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The
Prince Of Wales continues to be
showered with. invitations to attend
all the sporting events in sight
when he comes to this country in
September to see the international
polo matches. There seems to be a
general impression over here that
the Princes life is just one sporting
event after another. He. will be in.
vited to the Firpo-Wills fight to
the Davis Cup matches, to the anna
teur golf tournament, and the
Walker Cup matches.
They will probably also want to
ask him over to the Greensboro
and the Henderson Bowl, and he
may be invited to drop in and see
a swimming race at the Garden
pool. IL he has z an off evening.
they can take him up to see willie
Hoppe shoot some billiards, and
there Is no reason why he could
not be invited UP to the Yankee
Stadium and the Polo Grounds. II
he likes rowing. he can go up to
see the boys row on the Harlem.
In fact, Il looks an II the Prince
may have a hard time ever reach.

It was believed today that FirpS

the Wild Bull. The Argentine
fighter viii probably leave for Sara

sparring partners.
Paddy Mullins denied reports that

satisfied with the Southampton

Tom Gibbons is starting his
visit in England in exactly the
right way to make q good i'm
preston. The first thing he
did was to play golf. English
men regard this as an encour-
aging sign because some of the
worst Of the British heavy
weights were good golfers.
Rombardier Wells has become
quite q golfer, to say nothing
about Gene Tunney. Luis Firpo
and Jack Dempsey have never
cared for the game and con-
fine their competition to affairs
in the ring. On the other side
they have hopes that Gibbons
will become so interested in

Scott Quits Diamond
Rather Than Keep
On Losing

Jim Scott, veteran Of majors
and minors, wise pitcher good
sportsman, has retired from
baseball. To the game is the
loss.
Realizing that his services
were no longer of much value
to the San Francisco club, Scott
requested his release from the.
Seal owners. He plans to enter,
the business field, in which he
made q distinct success last
winter.
Scott was q star with the
Chicago White Sox in 1909,
and in the years following. In
1917 he did what few ball
players were willing to do
asked for his release and en-
tered an officers training
camp. His strict devotion to
duty led to a captains COM
mission, in which capacity ne
served throughout the world
war.
In 1919 Scott joined the Seals
and had q good year. In 1922
his splendid pitching had much
to do. with the Seals winning
the pennant. This season, al
though he has pitched well on
occasions, the breaks have gone
against him and rather than
continue in the role Of a loser,
a"Cap'n Jim" decided to step out.
