Many harsh things have been said and written about the federal jail at Fairbanks in the years before and since Vuco Perovich was confined there under sentence of death, says the Anchorage Times. Grand juries have condemned the building, news papers have referred to it as an unfit place for the confinement of prison CTS, and federal officials have ap- pealed in vain for funds for the erec- tion of new building. But with all it's shortcomings, the accommoda- tions have never been nearly as bad as statements made at Leavenworth recently, in connection with the re- lease -of Perovich from the federal prison there, would have the public believe. "For four years," one of the statement reads, "Perovjch, a man six feet tall, was confined in a dungeon four feet wide, ten feet long and five feet high. AUnited States marshal was indicted for the cruel treatment" ]" The writ of haueas corpus which freed Peroyich from the federal prison was issued by Federal Judge John C. Pol lock on the contention of Perovich that in 1909 President Taft did not have the power to commute his sen tence from death to life imprison- ment. The witnesses who testified against him at the time of his con- viction III Fairbanks. he now claims, were men with whom he had quar- reled over claim. They framed" the charge, he asserted, and there never was any proof that he had com mitted the crim efor which he was convicted

GREAT NUMBERS OF CARL
 BOU SEEN ON ANNUAL RUN
Anchorage Times.)

Caribou appeared recently in the vicinity of the Sourdough Roadhouse, on the Valdez trail, in greater num- bers than were ever seen there before, according to Charles H. Dewitt, well known resident of the Interior, who arrived in Anchorage Saturday from that section of the country, where he spent several months.
 Dewitt saw thousands of the cari- bou, and evidences of the migration in the form of trail through the timber which was larger than aything of the kind he ever saw before. The trail was eight or ten feet wide, and the moss had been completely worn from the ground by the thousands of animals. The oldest Indians did not recal! having seen so many caribou.
 Dewitt caught sight of a bunch of the animals in an open place along a river, where they had punched They stretched along for a distance of four miles and about 400 feet wide. .. and were so close together that their horns touched, the sound of the scrap ing being audible for considerable distance.
 The caribou came from the direc- tion of the Dawson country and were heading west. They crossed the White river and Shushana districts, and it was thought they might event ually reach the Kuskokwim region. They were travelling leisurely and in a straight line, taking the country as they found it, through the timber, across rivers and over the highest mountains, by twos and foms where their. way lay through athe timber, spreading out in the open places and narrowing down3to single file on the mountain tops. They were days pass ing some pointssan so numerous that t was mot possiblesto count them. It was estimated that there were hun dreds5of thousands ofithem.
 The coming, of the caribou was most opportune, for the natives of that region had experienced a short age of fish for winter use, and they were all out getting meat

Senator Edge, of New Jersey, and Senator Bruce, of Maryland, engaged i'll discussion of. national prohibition on the floor of the Senate chamber earrly last month, and the following morning tEere appeared in the Wash ington Post a statement by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti Saloon League, in which he re marked:
 If prohibition isas much of fail ure as these two wet senators claim, they would not complain so much about 1t. Their arguments do not come from the fullness of their hearts, but from the emptiness of their stomachs."
 Senator Bruce read the comment, and that afternoon rose to question of personal privilege in order to call tfe attention of his colleagues to the article, which he read to them.
 All l wish to say in reply" he de elared, "is that from specimens of MT. Wayne B. Wheeler's reasoning which 1 have read in the press from time to time, am convinced that his arguments come from the emptiness of his head"

NEW SNOW MOTOR
 CREATES INTEREST
(Fairbanks News-Miner. ]

;, Much interest is centered upon the
 trial of new snow motor received a few days ago by the Alaska Road c. Commission, which, if it is found to be successful in it's adaptation to local conditions, may be used exten- sively by, the Commission and by in dividuals in haulage where trails are : broken. The machine, which is put out by the Snow Motor Company, dnc., of Detroit, Mich, consists of a regular Fordson tractor, with the ex- ception that the Fordson traction is replaced by two. cigar-shaped cylin- ders, parallel with the direction of travel. Steering is@.a accomplished as on other scaterpi1lar types, by control of the cyiinttes.
 The new .tracTor's was taken on a s trial trip yesterday by Chief Me chanic Frank MeCafferty and Me ; chanic Earl Borland, who"w drive it to Tenderfoot, hauling a load of !. bridge tirnbers and supplies. The re-
 suit of this trip. will probably have ':ocorTSidefasl6 bearing upon ' the use that the machine may be put to by |! the Commission. So far, Superintend-
 ent Edmundsr says, the motor has been successful although a thorough test has been sfampered by lack of 9?sTlow.
 According to the description re-
 ceived through Che Associated Press { dispatches, it is believed that this snow motor is the type of tractor to be used blythe polar expedition soon
 to start from Nenana to Point Bar i rcw.

MESSAGE TO our
CORRESPONDENT

The season is appropriate for a
few words of congratulation and
commentator to u correspond
ents who send in the news from
surrounding towns and rural COM
munitieS. The editor is happy to
say that The Herald has never
had such a large and efficient
corps of news gatherers. Among
all the exchanges on our table
few if any show evidence of so
thoroughly covering the territory
surrounding their respective
towns. This is not mentioned as
a boost for The Herald but as a
compliment to its faithful scribes.
Each week the news letters
come in in large numbers and
with remarkable promptness.
There are over 25 of you now,
and two new ones voluntarily
entered the list this week. The
editor likes the kindly, friendly
optimistic style that character
ICES most of the items. We know
it takes time and effort to get
the facts together, and written
up and in the mail. Which all
adds emphasis to- the thorough
and sincere appreciation we feel
for the splendid service being
rendered. We are sure the read
ers of the paper share in that
appreciation. Do not hesitate to
