DAVENPORT, Iowa, Jan. TO-
Miss Alice French, author, whose
pen name was Octave Thanet, is
dead at her home here after a
long illness.
Under her pen name she made
notable place for herself in the
field of the novel and short story.
Her short stories of Iowa life
enjoyed tremendous magazine
vogue in the nineties and in the
early years of the twentieth CEN
fury, when she was at the zenith
of her power as a story teller. The
tales of her adopted state were
popular for their original and ex-
hilarating humor, and for their
understanding of human nature.
A resident of Davenport, Iowa,
from young womanhood, she came
to know intimately the folk of the
western towns, and she was the
first of the Iowa writer's to win ma
tional recognition.
Her first book, "Knitters in the
Sum-" attracted notice in 1887 to
the daughter born on March 49,,
1850, to Mr.. and Mrs. George Hen
ry French of Andoyer, Mass.
She followed it, over a thirty
year period, with more than a
dozen books of short stories and
novels, well known among which
were ''Stories of a Western Town"
"An Adventure in Photography, .
Missionary Sheriff." "a Book of
True Lovers" "A Slave to Duty"
"a Lions Share and "a Step
on the Stair
The last of her formal writing
was done in 1917.
In Iowa she was as notable for
the vigor with which she opposed
suffrage for women and prohibition
as for her writings. She stumped
the state to inveigh against equal
suffrage, contending that man
should remain the head of the
American home. and when prohi-
bition was advocated she classified
with laughter the women who de-
manded it, and told them they
were ION a historical jag" But
she supported the reforms staunch-
ly once they were enacted into
law.
A descendant of revolutionary
war stock, she was intensely pat
riotic, and found her greatest hap
piness outside writing in activity
in patriotic societies. Almost 10
when the world war broke, she
entered actively into the direction
Of relief work.

DELEGATE HAS
MANY MEASURES
IN THE HOPPER
Seeks to Translate Pledges
of Campaign Into Real
ity Without Delay

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec 23.-
Especial Correspondence When
the second session of the 7Srd
Congress convenes ON January
there will be dropped into the
hopper" that receptacle which is
the temporary repository of all
bills introduced by members of the
House of Representatives, several
which when printed win bear the
notation: Introduced by Mr. Di-
mond."
Some of these will be of inter-
est to all A1askans. They are being
offered to carry out the pledges
made in the platform of the Demo-
cratic party upon which Mr.. Di-
mond was elected. Others have
more local than Territorial signifi-
canoe. In all cases the Delegate
will press vigorously for enactment
of the bills into law.
Fight on Home Rule
Notable among the measures de-
signed to translate from pledge
into reality the program endorsed
by the voters of Alaska are H. r..
5205 and H. R. 5000, the twin home
rule bills introduced by Mr.. Di-
mond at the last session. The one
would transfer jurisdiction and adj
ministration over the fisheries of
Alaska from the Federal to the
Territorial government. The other
would give the Territorial Legis-
lature authority to make laws with
respect to game and fur-bearing
animals. They are at once the
vanguard and center in the cam
paign to give the people of Alaska
greater measure of self-govern-
ment.
Opposition is bound to be offered
to both of these bills from influen-
tial quarters and Delegate Dimond
is looking forward to hard fight.
The outcome is impossible to pre-
dict but there will be no lack OF
endeavor on the part of the Dele
gate to convince Congress that the
people of Alaska ought to control
the fisheries and game and fur and
that they are eminectly capable OF
handling those resources.
Press Repeal Bill
OF course the Delegate will press
for especially speedy action on his
bill to repeal the bone dry law
and the national prohibition act
in it's application to the Territory.
From present indications it is ex-
pected that the bill will be passed
very early in the session.
There is another bill which will
be offered to conform with a
change in national legislation. This
is the measure to advance the date
of the Territorial election from
November to the second Tuesday
in September in 1884 and every
second year thereafter and the date
of the converting of the legislature
from March to January. Approval
by the states of the lame duck
amendment to the Constitution,
which means that new Congresses
will always meet hereafter in jan
uary instead of March, makes ne
cessary this bill affecting Alaska.
If the election date were left where
it is at present it is readily con-
ceivable that in the case OF a close
election a certificate could not be
issued to the successful candidate
for Delegate by the time Congress
met. Another amendment to the
organic act of the Territory in
connection with this proposed leg
islation is that it provides that the
Secretary of Alaska shall be a
member of the canvassing board in
