a program of helping the different
counties in every way possible in the
arrangement and transportation OF
their displays.
1.-THE. outlook for a largely m
creased exhibit at the 1927 Midland
Empire fair is most promising" said
Manager Bresnahan. Through our
publicity departments efforts, we
hope to interest many thousands more
in the coming exposition"
Some of the features of the 1927
fair include first Of all about $26,0o0
in premium offers.
The junior Midland Empire fair
will be managed by the boys and
girls from the various counties, who
will be on hand as the guests OF
James R. Hobbins of Butte.
Increased Wild West features are
included. The best riders in the

REPUBLICANS CONDEMN
JUDGE RICHIE
Accuse Him of Trying
To Wreck Party

Following the removal of A.
G. Thompson, republican, as U.
S. Commissioner, without cause
and the appointment of dem
ocrat to succeed him, the Re-
publican Club of Anchorage
severaly condemned E. E. Richie
as u. S. Judge Of the Third
Division.
The Resolution Adopted
Be it resolved by the Third
Division Republican Club of
Anchorage, Alaska,
That republicans cannot fail
to recognize a political signi-
fcance in the recent action of
the judge of the district court
of the Third Division, in re-
moving Arthur G. Thompson as
commissioner of Anchorage pre-
cinct and appointing dem
ocrat as his successor;
That the dismissal, following
the election, of republican COM
missioners in the two principle
towns of Anchorage and Juneau,
by the district judges of the
Third and First Divisions, and
the appointment as their sue
cessors of well-known and pro-
minent democrats, must be TAX
en- as a penalty upon party
loyalty and as inviting the
charge of attempting to des-
troy the republican party in
Alaska.
That the executive commit
tee of this club, be authorized
to take such action, conform
able to this resolution, as may
seem needful.
Adopted this Goth day of
January, 1927.

was one who thought the res
olution was not strong enough.
He said that he and Judge
Richie had been on the friend

until the summary removal of
Commissioner Thompson with
out cause.
Senator Arthur Frame
Senator Frame said he agreed
with all that had been said
about the alleged unftness of
Judge Richie. He spoke also
of the judges attitude toward
Anchorage, stating that he be-
lieved it to be unfriendly.

There has apparently been a.
slight decrease in the number
of furbearing animals taken

Suspension Order Dissolved

Suspension Order Dissolved
At the request CT the Chrysler
company the railroad board sus-
pended the rates Of the Hughes
company and Oh investigation was
held, resulting in the present de-
cision, which. dissolves the order
forbidding the Hughes company to
charge the lower rate and declares
that the law Of the survival of the
fittest must determine which COM
pany will remain in business.
obviously, neither utility can
retain any considerable number of
consumers by charging a higher
rate than is charged by the COM
peting company for o like and con-
teMp0raneous service" the boards
decision said. III rates were iden-
teal it would simply mean the sur
vival Of the fittest and in all prob
ability this rule will be the deter
mining factor"
The effect of the decision is ex-
pected to be that wherever local
utilities are placed in direct COM
petition with highline companies,
as occurred at Belfield, the local
utility will be forced out Of bust
ness. !. M
Basis of Appeal
The Chrysler company based its
appeal for protection on number
Of legal grounds. Among them
Were:.y., -+..s,e - .-.'
/. That cities are barred from
granting competing franchises and
that its franchise to serve Belfield
was presumably exclusive.
2. That the railroad board had
the power to abolish any discrim-
ination in rates as between the
companies.

er to say whst ukiktieA may serve
a community and how and has au-
thority to prevent duplication Of
plants. .-..-,. sy
4. That it is entitled to protec-
ton from the alleged unjust and
unreasonable rates of the Hughes
company.
Although holding that competi-
ton in public utilities is not desir-
able, the commissions held that the
rates charged by the Hughes com
pany are reasonable and that It
has no authority to act in the mat
ter. The city of Belfield joined

Willys-Knight Cars
Are Equipped With
Belflex Shackles

Installation Of the Belflex Spring
Shackles by WHY'S Overland on the
entire line of Willys-knight motor
cars produced by that company,
marks progressive step in auto
motive engineering. The Belflex
Shackle consists in its essentials of
two rubberized resistcnt fabric
strips securely clamped between the
frame and spring entirely elimnat-
ing the metal schackle, absorbing
road shocks and reducing the wear
on all parts of the car.
The rear end of the spring sus-
ponds the frame on tension shackle
permitting alternate frightening
and shortening of the spring as the
load is imposed or removed, while
the front end rests on a pivot
shackle of the same material en-
bodying the same principle and per-
hitting gentle rocking as the
spring flexes. This action, engineers
declare, provides smooth riding
quality at all speeds regardless OF
the condition of the highway.
Twelve lubricating points are
eliminated from the chassis through
the use of the Belflex system at the
same time doing away with the ne

wear and tear from sprung bolts and
bushings. This system, it is claimed
will outwear any of the metalli,
wearing parts of the chassis.
In general, according to WHY'S
Overland factory officials. the Bel
flex system insulates the sprung
parts of the car from the unsprune
parts noiselessly and freely. The!
declare this device is one of the most
efficient systems yet introduced il
the automotive industry, and actually
saves money, not only because o.
saving in periodic renewal of bolt:
and bushings but by eliminating
labor and material involved in tn
actual fabrication at frequent inter
walls of the metal parts which arr
done away with through use OF tn

and while the gains were not as pro-

however. was upward. Sinclair Oil
