CAPT. WILLIAM
 JENSEN PASSES
 AWAY, SEATTLE
Veteran Skipper of Alaska Steamship Company
 on Last Voyage

SEATTLE, Dec. 15.-Capt Will jam Jensen, aged 72 years, veteran Alaska Steamship Company skip per, died yesterday evening here He retired four years ago, due to illness, and was painter of clip per ship canvasses, achieving wide recognition for authentic pictures of sea life.
 Capt. Jensen is survived by his widow and brother, both in Se- attle, and three sisters in Norway.
 On Coast in 1895
 It was in 1895 that Capt. Jensen landed in San Francisco, a com paratively forlorn, unknown Nor wegian seaman from the decks of a sailing ship. He decided to stay on the Pacific Coast, and shortly afterwards came to Seattle In 1901, after he had acquired a navi- gators license, he joined the deck officers mess of one of the units of one of the predecessors of the present Alaska Steamship Com pany, and remained in the service until four years ago. Tn the ca- pacity of pilot and later master, Capt. Bill" Jensen commanded ev- cry unit of the Alaska Steamship Company's fleet, but principally the steamers Northwestern and Alaska.
 He enjoyed the utmost popular ity among the patrons of this serv- ice, for he was most genial, a com petent navigator, and always look ing out for the interests of the passengers and his employers. "Bill' Jensen though he attributed ;t simply to being born under lucky star, never experienced a disaster at sea.

Texas Special" right back into the cattle business to help raise even better cattle"
 In addition to the $675 prize money won on Texas Special the Largent farm received $500 for the animal at auction. It was sold loi slaughter for $1.25 pound, the price being five cents higher than the prize steer brought a year ago.
 Herefords Come Back The comeback of Herefords to the grand and reserve steer cham pionships of this, the final high tribunal of all meatdom, after a three year lapse celebrated the fif- tieth anniversary year of the founding of the American Here ford Breeders association.
 Adding to the jubilation of Willie Joe was the fact that this is the first time Texas, although a pre- mier fat cattle raising state, has captured the grand prize in this show although the Largent Here lords have won three steer grand championships at the American Royal shows in Kansas City.
 Plenty Of Room
 The c. M. Largent farm at Mer- kel, Texas, provides plenty of room on it's 2,400 acres for the families Of c. M. Largent, Sr., who devotes most of his time now to his bank ing business, and of William J. and "C M., Jr."
 Much of the vast acreage is in cotton and maize, while the blue blooded cattle are fed on rolled oats, rolled barley, ground corn and cane molasses. There are 80 head in the Largent fullblood herd
 This years appearance at the h. ternational was the Largent farms fourth in a score of years. Its en- tries had taken their share of sec- ondary ribbons in those previous appearances but the supreme hon. or kept just out of reach until this year.

State Nears End of
Testimony in Case

Wahpeton, N. D., June 24.-(P)-
With the completion of the cross
examination of Joseph Zinnell, Min
neapolis handwriting expert, the
state was expected to rest It's case
Friday afternoon against Jos p h
Dorm, Wahpeton fight prom ter
charged with attempted extortion.
The defense then will begin its
counter-attack, and indications were
that hearing of testimony would not
be completed before court adjourns
Saturday, thus sending the case into
its second week in Richland county
district court.
]. A. Heder, defense counsel, was
conducting the cross-examination OF
Zinnell. AS with Joseph Cation, an
other handwriting expert testifying
Thursday, Heder attempted to show
that the two experts had looked only
for similarities in Doran'S writing
with that of the second threatening
letter sent Donald Lun, Wahpeton
publisher and intended victim of the
extortion plot.
"Dissimilarities in letters and
words have been disregarded," Heder
charged.
The experts had agreed in previous
testimony that the first letter sent
Lum was written on a Company I
typewriter to which Dorm was shown
to have access, and the second let
ter. a hand printed missive, was
authored by Dorm.

IZAAK WALT0N|TES
AT ANNUAL MEETING
Burnie Maurek Says Migratory
Waterfowl Need Great
er Protection

jamestown, N. D., June 24.-(P-
Unless migratory waterfowl are Civ
en- more protection than has been ex-
tended to them in the past, they are
doomed to decrease to the point Of
extinction, Burnie Maurek, state
game and fish commissioner, told the
annual state convention of the Izaak
Walton League Friday.
Maurek urged that the group 60 on
record as opposed to shooting over
baited grounds, and to establish a
bag limit of 10 and a possession limit
of 18 birds.
THE time is here" Maurek added,
when shorter shooting seasons on
migratory waterfowl must prevail,
not only in North Dakota, but
throughout the United States"
The North Dakota game and fish
department, Maurek said, has taken
ia stand in favor of ANY reasonable
restrictions that might result in pro-
lection OF these birds and yet permit
our hunters at least a short open
season each year, and on the other
hand that it was unalterably opposed
to any federal regulations that dis
crlmlnated against the interests of
the North Dakota sportsman in fav-
or OF those in more favored states.
r. M. Barnes of Valley City, presi-
dent OF the league, presided at the
sessions. He responded to an address
OF welcome by Mayor Oscar thinner
man. A report of E. E. La France,
Bismarck, secretary treasurer, was
presented at the morning meeting.
AT banquet Friday night, S. p.
Lodge, director of conservation of the
National 1zaak Walton league; w. c.
Henderson. assistant chief of the u.
S. biological survey; and Captain John
cutler OF the U. S. fish hatcheries, will

hatcheries.

were heard but given no greater cour-
tesy than was.
It became necessary to go back to
Washington for valuations as lieu
lands must be used. When returned
this year my cases were sent to an
other committee. Nearly three weeks
were required to get subcommittee
hearing. Their decision was unani-
nous in my favor, but two months
and half passed and I still was un-
able to get full hearing when the
claims were again sent to the Public
Lands Committee where they be-
longed.
Senator Nye appointed a subcom-
mittee at once and favorable de-
ciSion was reached in four working
days later.
At hearing before the House Pub
lie Lands Committee a few days latei
all opposition melted away and an
agreement was reached that recog-
nizes the boys rights.
I am giving you my experience so
that you man appreciate the sort of
square dealer Senator Nye Is and his
determination to deal justly in all
questions before him without regard for
the wealth or standing of the oppo-
sition. He has never failed to back
any measures in the interest of agri-
culture, the leading industry of your
state.
He opposed an appropriation for
sending more of our marines to Mic
aragua to stick our noses in the cleo
ton there as expert election SUPER
visors," and he advocated bringing
home the thousand that we have
there.
Realizing that money locked up in
banks with no one to borrow, and
money spent in bolstering railroads
while the mass of the people have no
money to travel on does not help, he
voted for the Soldiers bonus. That
measure would not increase the OBJ
legations of the United States one
single dollar and it would put large
sum in the hands of men who could
not hoard it. Each of those hungry,
ragged soldiers holds the governments
I. O. U. that is not even transferable
and could not be used to buy a hungry
baby quart of milk. Two billions
went to bankers as loan without
real kick from anyone, but it would
wreck the country to pay an honest
debt to the poor and needy, according
to the privileged rich.
The people of your state should
realize that committee chairmen have
far more influence than other men,
bers. Senator Nye has reached the
top of important committees and
therefore can have far more influ-
ence than any new man that your
state could elect. The states that have
the most influence in shaping legis-

lation are those that send their SEN
ators back until they reach the top
of important committees and then
keep them there.
The great struggle now is in favor
of the mass of the people as against
the absolute domination of great COM
binations of capital, and Senator Nye
has never failed to line up for the
welfare of the common people 1t
would be silly for them to permit his
defeat.
Many of the citizens of your state
hail from South Dakota and will re-
member me as the owner and editor of
the 500 Critic, published at Sioux
Falls, and also remember my cam
paign against George w. Egan for
governor of the state of South Da-
kota. He was disbarred. sentenced to
the penitentiary and obliged to leave
the state. My campaign was certain

Deputy Sheriff Wins
In Duel With Slayer

Little Falls, Mimi, June 24.-(P)-
His own life spared because Of gun

a little wary of such desperate meas

Actually it was Felix desire to avoid
bloodshed that led up to the duel be-

it came down to the point of the sur
vival of the best shot and Deputy
Felix won.

Persuade the government to issue
a new 81 bill and lend to each man.
woman and child in our country Is OF
these bills. This issue would be diff
ferent in appearance, but its purchas-
ing and paying power would be equi-
valent to our present 81, as it would
be legal tender for all taxes, debts
and purchases.
1.-The bill must be enlarged to allow
the placing on its back 81 spaces for
two-cent stamps and the explanation
that it can not be held more than
one week without placing one two
cent stamp thereon, and that the bill
will be redeemed within one year II all
stamps required are attached.
Here are the figures:

Twenty five 81 bills to each per-
son, $4,000, 100000 -

"Cost of 2-cent stamps sold by gov

Cost of money loaned by govern
ment, $3,000,000,0O0.
Profit made on issue by govern
ment, $120,000,00O.
"The government lends its people

cent interest, which will more than
pay for cost Of issue of money and the
necessary stamps to be bought from
