Walsh Abandons plan

Previously, Senator Walsh Demo-
crat of Montana. leader of the fight
in behalf Of the report. had aban-
doned his plan to have the senate in
vestigate the company on it's own ac-
count through special counsel. He
said several senators were OF the
opinion that no senate inquiry was
necessary in view Of the investigation
made by the federal trade commits
sion, which had filed complaint that
the concern had violated decrees de-
signed to prevent monopoly in the
aluminium industry.
The fight Of administration leaders
against the investigation was based
on the contention that the senate was
without constitutional authority to
make the inquiry 10 learn if law
had been violated. and that cangres-
sional inquiries were limited in scope
and must be conducted with . view
to legislative enactment bearing on
the subject,

Morton County Sheriff Consid-
cred Leading Candidate
to Succeed Shea
AN ACTIVE POLITICIAN
Served as Warden at State
Penitentiary Under the
Frazier Regime
N ACTIVE POLITICIAN

Charles Mcdonald, sheriff Of Nor
ton county, is regarded as the lead
ing candidate for United States mar
shall to succeed James Shea, present
incumbent. Mr.. Mcdonald has been
very busy lining up Missouri Slope
counties for Hanna and Hanley.
Shca's term expires, it is under
stood, in the near future. 1t is
thought that he would accept another
term, but that L. B. Hanna and Shea
have never been the closest Of polit-
ical allies.
Mr.. Mcdonald came into promi-
nencc in state affairs first as an ap-
pointee of the Nonpartisan league.
He served rs warden of the state pen
itentiary under Lynn J. Frazier.
During the Nestos campaign he was
for the Minot politician. He has
been very active in Missouri politics
for some time and is anxious to be-
come United States marshal, so some
Of his close friends report.
Olson's Job q Political Plum
Another political plum in the hop.
per is that of collector Of internal
revenue, held now by Gundcr Olson.
Whether Olson, who has been one Of
the Red River Valley warhorses, will
be recommended is not known. The
recommendations Of l.. B. Hanna ut
Washington have been regarded more
seriously than those made by Harri-
son Garnet, Republican national COM
mitteeman.
Whether the Hanna crowd will Of
fend Shea in the interests of McDon-
uld is not known, but the possibility
Of Mcdonald being the next United
States marshal was a political after
math of the Devils Lake convention.

The warmest winter in the history of the camp has per- vaded this section during the past few weeks. In keeping with the rest of Alaska, the season thus far has been mark cd by unusually high temperat- ures and almost complete ab- sence of the heavy snow falls usually prevalent in this dis trict at this time of the year. Reports from other parts of the Territory disclose that similar conditions pervail over the greater part of the southern and western sections. Even, Nome, less than 200 miles from the Arctic Circle has enjoyed unprecedentedly mild
 weather. Locally the usual heavy snowfall has been supeI- ceded by copious rains, which have washed away most of he snow precipitated during the early part of the winter. 
 Although decidedly agreeable from the standpoint of bodily
 comfort, the unusual weather is having retarding effect on
 the mining industry and freighting because of the re-
 sultant bad state of the roads.

"erroneous oveY.building Of the Capi-

office buildings, Il large hotel and Il

Last year was the bumper year for
building In Washington. and now as
natural sequence to this splendid ac
tivity there comes the expected errO-
neous conclusion that Washington is
over-built. Compa ring the number Of
vacant houses with the present pOpu-
lation Of Washington TO the number
vacant prior to our entry in the war.
we find that we have approximately
less than a third as many as that
