An Extraordinary Hit-On Sept.
Is, 1917, w. w. Pitman, constable
of precinct No. 1 of Wharton
county, undertook to arrest one
Francisco Lopez, a diminutive
Mexican bad man. in the city of
Wharton, Tex. AS Pitman APP
preached, the "hombre" opened
fire with his .38 pistol, Pitman re-
turning fire with his As Colt. The
first shot from the As hit square
ly in the muzzle of Lopez's gun,
rendering it utterly useless for
further dueling, allowing Pitman
a decided but bloodless victory.
The gun now is in my Office in
New York City, and will be dis
played in the Believe 1t Or Not"
Odditorium, which is to be opened
shortly.
A Ride of 861 Miles in Six
DayS-The Count de Monterrey
was emissary of Napoleon I to
the court of Vienna in 1909. The
French emperor sought the
daughter of Franz I of Austria
in marriage, and so anxious was
he to obtain the Austrian rulers
consent that he dispatched the
young count-the most renowned
horseman in France.
Monterrey rode from Paris to
Vienna, a distance of 861 miles, in
less than six days. He did not
change horses en- route, and ar
rived in Vienna in so exhausted a
state that he was permitted to
remain seated in the imperial
presence. History notes that Mont
ENJOY was successful in his mission.
Napoleon rewarded him by pre-
senting him with the horse, in adj
dition to a jeweled snuffbox and
a grant of 10000 francs.
The First SundiaI-A Sundial.
said to have been brought to the
new world by Columbus, was re-
covered from the house of the adj
mirals son Diego in Santo
Domingo by Captain General Don
Francisco de Rubio, and erected
in front of the old government
house in the vicinity of the
Ozama river in the capital of the
Dominican republic, 1853.

Urges Employment of
 Alaska Schoolteachers

Commissioner of Education w. K. Keller, in a recent letter to the school boards of the Ter ritory, urges the employment of residentAlaska school teach CTS.
 The letter urges upon the school boards the desirability of considering Alaska teachers first when filling vacancies and states that there are many teachers now in Alaska who de- sire to remain in the Territory and are anxious to be placed in the Alaska schools next year.
 T believe" the letter says" " that we are not only justified in asking these teachers to re- main in the Territory, but that we should assist them by con- sidering their applications for positions first.
 MT. Keller says the economic depression in the States has al- ready resulted in flooding the Alaska mails with applications from teachers who desire po- sitions only for year or two and who will then return to the States. Consideration of these applications in prefer ence to those of our own teach CTS may result in placing severe handicaps upon the present Alaska teachers, he says.
 MT. Keller states that his of flee has on file many applicat- ions from teachers now in Alas ka and and will send them for examination to such boards as may require teachers for their local schools.

VETS OPPOSE BONE
 DRY LAW REPEAL

The bill introduced in the House by Delegate Wicker sham to repeal the Alaska Bone Dry law, which conflicts with the Volstead Act, was given second hearing before the committee on Territories on February 2, according to q Washington, D. C., report. A few days previous the attorney for Bishop Cannon, noted dry leader, prepared a statement giving his objections to the bill and had it filed with the con- mttee. These were replied to in detail by the delegate at the meeting, which was also at tended by Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president of the National Wo- mans Christian Temperance Union, who spoke in opposition to the bill, as did also the attor- ney, requiring further expla- nation and argument by the Delegate. As some of the mem- bers of the committee could not be present at the next meeting on February 9th. it was decid- ed to authorize the chairman to call a special meeting at an opportune time, when a vote would be taken on approval or disapproval of the bill.

Bills Provide for LaE.or
 And Old Age Protection

Copies of two interesting House measures, one providing that the prevailing rate of wages shall be paid all labor CTS and mechanics on public works, and the other designed to protect labor in it's old age, have been received by the Her aid through the kindness ol Alaska Delegate to Congress James Wickersham.
 Both measures were intro- duced by Representative Will jam P. Connery, jr., of Massa- chusetts. The wage bill pro- vides for the extension to Alaska an d other United States Territories of the provis- ions of an Act of March 3, 19- 31, relating to the rate of wag- es for laborers and mechanics employed on public buildings of the United States and Dist rict of Columbia by contract Ors or subcontractors and pro- vides that every contract o1 subcontract to which the Unit ed States, District of Columbia or a Territory is party shall contain a provision to the effect that the rate of wages paid to laborers or mechanics employed shall not be less than the prevailing rate of wages in the town or district. The bill provides a penalty of S5 per day for each day of violation.
 The old age protection bill proposes to appropriate $1O,- 100000 from the national treasury to be apportioned among the States to aid them in giving assistance to persons over 65 years who possess no property valued in excess of $5,000 and have no child or other person responsible for their support and able to do so.
 Both measures have been re- ferred to the Committee on La bor.

Plea For Continuance of
 Experiment Stations Fails

There has been great disap- pointment in Alaska over the fact that the budget did not contain an appropriation for the continuance of the agricul- tural experiment stations i'll the Territory.
 When the agricultural bill was before a subcommittee of the. appropriations committee Delegate Wickersham made a strong plea for appropriation for the maintenance of the Matanuska station and this was rather looked upon with favor by the members of the committee, according to re- ports from Washington this week. But efforts to continue the station went for naught when the chairman of the ap- propriations committee asked the subcommittee that no item be included in the general bill that was not recommended by the budget, and that no in crease be made in the bill over the budget figures.
 As a consequence, the bill was reported to the House without mention of the $35, ,000 for Alaska.
 When it was under consider ation in the House Delegate Wickersham 0 f. f e r e d an amendment to include $35,000 for the Matanuska station but it was defeated. The amend ment was also urged in. vigor- ous terms by Representatives LaGuarda, Colton, William son, Simmons, Burtness, Levitt and Carter.
