 "Its exclusion fcom consideration as part of the public land area would not exclude it fron the benefits of ths act. but on the ground that the people shere pay taaeir taxes, &s ia other parts of Alaska, the people would be entitled 60 have some roads to bs determined by the Territorial road commission. The exclusion, however, would cut down the government allotment to z sum of between 3i, ,5Oo,Ooo and S2,o00,O00 . year, and ip2smueh as the Territory would have to match the government funds on basis of soout 80s85 per cent of federal funds and Is 20 per cent of Territorial funds, it would seem that there could be no reasonable objection 50 this plan. If the government allot- ment is S2,000, ,00e, the Territory on 6 basis of Is per cent would have to put up $500, GOO, or on the basis of 20 per cent about S400,e00, which would have to be collected in local taxes. Accord Ing to Delegate Sutherland, there is some reasonable reason to hope that the Territory could raise between $500, 900 and S4Oo,e0o for building roads, but there is no hope that 1t could raise twice that amount, and any effort to take S4, 100000 away from the allotment Of the States and give it to Alaska would be strenuously resisted, while 3n effort to gigs Alaska half of that sum h&s 8 better hope of being approvad.
 tJf this law is enacted, as seems probable, the Territory may have se amend its highway laws. The present Territorial road board is composed of four men, one troa each district, who serve without pay About gll they do Is to corporate with the federal road in the recommendation ss to where highways shall be built. It seems to me th8t in order to take ad-  vantage of this law-if 1t should be passed-they will have to create 6 highway commission with an engineer at the head, somewhat similar to tshe plan followed in the stste of Washing ton. But that is g detail they can work out later. The main thing at present is to make the mousY available to Alaska.
 ''The committee seemed to agree with my contention that it was not an act of absurdity to approve operating deficits amounting to Sl ,5O0,00o a year and at the same time to disapprovs estimates for road building which would deliver tonnage to the railroad and wipe out the operating deficit.
 s'If this amendment is adopted by the committee, as seems likely, it stands a splendid chance of getting through, because it will become 8 part of the road,act and the appropriations author ized under that act will be available for roadbuilding in Alaska"

DEATH CLAIMED
BABY B. |. PARR
TUESDAY LAST

Baby Bert L. Parr, the three
months old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. J.,
Parr Of Rawlins. died at the Child
ren's hospital in Denver last Tuesday.
The remains were brought to Rawlins
Wednesday evening and the funeral
was held from the Rasmussen Under
taking Parlor Friday afternoon. In
terment was made in the Rawlins
cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parr have lived In
Rawlins for about five years and dur
ing that time two children have been
born to them; a girl who is now two
and a half years old and the small
son, Bert, who vas three months old.
Mr.. Parr has been a brakeman on the
Union Pacific during the time he has
lived in this city.
The baby first became sick about
three weeks ago and he was taken
to Denver where he would have the
aid of specialists. He showed i'm
provement and was brought back to
Rawlins shortly after. He again be-
came sick about two weeks ago and
the parents again took him to Denver
and placed him in the Children's hos
pital. The nature Of the sickness was
not known or could it be determined,
the immediate cause of the death be-
ing commissions.
Thus, just at the beginning of life
did death claim another young son.
The whole community offers its sin
cere smypathies at this great time Of
sorrow and their wishes are that there
may be brighter days ahead for the
bereaved parents Of the small son,
Baby Bert Parr.

Roll Call has already been put on
in Rawlins and not enough money
has been realized to successfully car

the donation drive is being pushed
through. Letters are being sent out
to the numerous organizations In
Rawlins with the hope that they will
donate an amount which Is In pro-
portion to the mount they can give.
Already in Rawlins two fraternal or
CARNATIONS donate each year 500
the whole amount OF these donations
is kept in the local Red Cross Treas
ury and it is not divided with the ma
tional organization. Thus II a union
y" other organization would give SO,
$25, $50 or 500 1t would greatly
neip the Red Cross and the money
would be kept right here in Raw
Inns and used for local cases.
Something has to be done to keep
away from reverting back to the old
undesirable, unsatisfactory house to

making collections. wherein the I'M

worthy adequately cared for.

fifty per cent OF the amount goes to
the national organization and the re-
malnder remains in the local treas
ury. 1t is believed that II the resi-
dents Of Rawlins had studied the
matter and acquainted themselves
with the existing conditions, every
person asked to take a yearly mem
bership would have been only too
glad to take the 81 a year member
ship.
That the national and local Red
Cross does work and gives relief
which Is merited and can not be car
ried on by any other organization in
SO detailed and careful a manner, is
realized and recognized by practically
every person. AS was recognized
years ago before the Red Cross was
organized to the degree that 1t now
Is, 1t was found hat the individual
collections wore not satisfactory. For
example. supposing John Smith and
family were greatly in need of help
some individual would take a col
lection from house to house or from
his friends. In some cases $50 was
needed while 500 would be collect
ed. and the opposite more otter hap
pened wherein $50 was needed and
only $25 was collected. This has
been corrected by the Red Cross for
it Ia realized that chapter gives aid
whore aid is needed most and 1t does
not waste the chapters funds, also
time and energy are saved to the in
dividuals and the expense falls more
evenly on everyone. Now when a
needy case comes to the attention of
an individual he sends hat person
or persons to the Red Cross and in
his own mind he knows the case will
be taken care OF satisfactorily.
Thus is 1t desirable to keep the
present system and not revert back
to the old system. /

GERMANY'S DELEGATION
OFF TO LONDON MONDAY
BERLIN, Aug. 2.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press -Official announce
ment was made tonight that the
! German delegation will start for
London Monday. 1t will be composed
of Chancellor Marx, Foreign Minister
| Stresemann, Fiance Minister Luther
and Herr Won Schubert, foreign Of
flee commissioner.
Representatives of Prussia and
Bavaria with several experts, will
accompany the delegation.
President Ebert presided at an ex-
! ecutive session of the cabinet today
at which the line of action to be
| followed by the delegates was
mapped out. 1t developed that at
least a dozen under secretaries will
| accompany Chancellor Marx and
the others to London.
The League of German Industrial
lists has published a formal com
munique in which the big business
interests protest against what they
term attempts to curtail the funda-
mental principles of the Dawes re-
port as originally enunciated. 1t
warns the government that it must
insist upon rigid adherence to the
| provisions of the experts report as
accepted by Germany.
In the absence of a definite out
| line of the conclusions reached thus
far in London, the German news
! paper editors are continuing to show
restiveness, Voicing the prospect
| that Chancellor Marx will be con
| fronted With accomplished facts
which, they declare, would obvious
! ly amount to a pronounced abridge
ment of the letter and spirit of the
| Dawes report and, consequently
! complicate the role to be played by
the German government in the con
| ference deliberations. The German
protests are leveled chiefly at the
dates fixed for evacuation Of the
Ruhr and what is described as the
! attempt to project the question OF
English surrender of the Cologne
bridgehead into the present discus
sion.
The anticipation that the Germar
delegates will be accorded ample time
and leisure for their part in the dis
cussion is expressed by Die Zeit
which reflects foreign office senti
ment in a significant editorial II
! which liberal exception Is taken t.
some understanding already said <
have been reached on topics on which
the Germans insist they should %
heard. With the presence of the
German delegates in London, this
paper assumes that the second
half of the conference will start.

But here, where he has spent the
best years of his life, he's just plain

The new chairman of the Demo.
cratic national committee, however,
hasn't always caught his political
prey. But neither has he always
tailed.
He is an organizer far above the
average. Back in 1911, when the
West Virginia legislature elected c.
w. Watson to fill an uneXpired term
in the United States senate, man
back in the country wrote his rep
rasentative to know who were the
men who had put Watson over.
The legislator wrote back:
"They were Glenn Shaver"

campaign Glenn will direct, are old

The situation at the recent New
York convention was al@ost paral-
! lei.
"Quit picking on me, Glenn" said
Davis, one day. What are you go
ing to do to me, anyhow"
No more than 1 did at Wheeling"
Shaver replied. And that precisely
| is what he did.
They say Shaver began figuring
out the Davis presidential campaign

! convention approached, Shaver's
plans became more and more de-
! tailed.
So complete were they that c. r.

He dislikes to pose for pictures

When recent pictures were snap

the penalty for getting into the lime

One day Shaver and c. z. Wat
