BY RODNEY BUTCHER
Washington, Sept. 23.-The man
who succeeds Wayne B. Wheeler as
legislative superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League must have these
qualifications:
IA cool head.
2-The gift Of humor.
3-Adequate political experience.
4-Organizing ability.
ability on the platform.
This list was sugg. ID by an Of.
ficer of tie league, who pointed out
that those were the attributes which
made Wheeler the great man he was.
'It's q whale Of job to control
Congress" this official said.
It's such a whale of a job that
no one in the league is trying hard
to get it. You may have seen stories
to the effect that there was crush
Of reformers" fter the big job, but
that doesn't appear to be true. The
man who succeeds Wheeler will have
to be drafted.
There are a number Of possibil-
tiles. but each one knows that he will
have to re compared with Wheeler
as soon as he assumes office. Some
of them don't want the job and
would refuse it if it were offered
to them. An indication Of the situa-
ton the league faces was seen in it's
prompt deci.ion to split up the jobs
Of legislative superintendent and
general counsel, both Of which
Wheeler leld for six or seven years.
Edward Bradford Dunford, Wheel
er's legal assistant, will take the lat
ter and least important job. Wheel
er often said that Dunford had "the
keenest legal mind the world ever
knew"
The new legislative superintendent
will be selected in December.

PERMANENT DEVELOPMENT FOR
 ALASKA MUST BE GENERAL

It is, of course, generally under stood that Alaska needs settlers people who come here to make their homes. Gold stampedes make very temporary prosperity. The prosperity from permanent min ing camps is not so temporary, but it is quite limited in the territory affected. There is any amount of agricultural land in Alaska, but the farmer must have a market for what he raises which does not eat up the value of his product in freight. The fishing industry must send much of it's money outside for provisions that could be raised here and the merchants of the Alaska cities must get much from Seattle that could be raised in Alaska. In the meantime the Alaska Railroad owned and operated by the govern ment, is steadily losing money al- though this last year, under effic- cient management, that loss has been decreased. The raidroad needs settlers Settlers need an increase of mining camps and manufactories as a market for their products. Agriculture will at best be of doubtful profit until at least a part of it's products can be mar keted in Alaska. Countless mil lions of wealth lie buried in the mountains and low grade plaeers of Alaska A nations supply of pulp wood stands idly in the for
 ests, while a large percentage of it is becoming oyer-ripe and going to decay. Alaska awaits loosening of government restrictions and the in- flux of capital for her development, and a lot of politicians cry Stop thief" until they are black in the face if any one with money enough to do real development work looks this way. When Alaska begins to welcome capital, and the govern ment loosens up its restrictions on forests and minerals, and mines and mills begin to put an increased population to work bringing the wealth out of the ground and forests, agricultural development should follow the increased demand for the products of farm and range. When this comes about, not only the Alaska Railroad but Alaska herself will cease to depend on Con- gressional favor for appropriations and will become an asset instead of ability.-Stroller's Weekly.

LONDON In his book Of reml- niscences, Scouting on Two Con- tinents Major Frederick Russell Burnham, one of the most pietur- esque adventures of modern times, speaks highly of the work of the Northwest Mounted Police, now the Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice, during the days of the great klondike gold rush. of which he Was one Of the pioneers, and has the following to say about the com parative handful of men who en- forced the Stern law of the Yukon in those turbulent days:
 You could do anything except destroy life or property. In those times we seemed to live quietly un- der two commandments shalt not kill and Thou shalt not steal If you broke the former you were sent by dog team and canoe thou sands of miles to be hanged. If you broke the latter you were sent thousands of miles to prison Tn either ease you started a power against you that was as silent as the aurora and as relentless as the glaciers.
 Not one murderer escaped in those days-and gold lay in every cabin and tent and was carried in tons, ungnarded, down the creeks saw eight tons put on one steamer going down the Yukon with only one policeman (R. c. M. P.1 to guard it.
 Major Burnhams Elondike mem ories read like pages from Jack London whom he just beat in the rush t0 Dawson He was one of the first to reach that city. and it was from a claim he shared with another pioneer.

Judging by the number of games already played by Wrangell Hi, the number will have eeltpsed all previous records. Up-to-date the local Hi have played eleven games winning five of them, the percent age being .464. Four o1 the games lost have been with Ketchikau. The other two games lost by narrow margins were played with the Wrangeu Town team and the Alumni. Games were won from the following teams: Two games from Petersburg Hi, one from Rake, one from the local town team. and one from the Petersburg Town team. There are. many prospects for games i'll the future. If plans mature games will be played with Juneau, Douglas, Pet ersburg Hi schools, besides the town teams of the same cities. In addition to all these there will be the tournament at ketchikan. The hardest of all these teams will be Ketchikan. The other teams Nran- gell Hi should have little trouble in disposing of.
