LIGHT UP THOSE YULE TREES

Nothing is more significant of the Christmas sea- and gives greater color to the annual celebration than the lighted yule tree, both inside and out, and this year Juneau enjoying them to the fullest Through the laudabe efforts of the Chamber of Commerce a contest for the best lighted trees and decorated windows has been arranged with prizes awarded to the best Christmas trimmers.
 Here is reflected again the true spirit of the season which holds sway the city, but without full cooperation it cannot be the whole success it should be. There is the opportunity to make this a big and happy community enterprise if everyone will light up and dress up those trees for the holiday. Why not make it real task for that judging committee of Frank Dufresne, Harry Lucas and N Lester Troast, to select the best? Let's have so many good ones that it will reflect a whole hearted community spirit of the yuletide season.
 And don't forget to get at it this weekend and have your entry with the Secretary of the Chamber not later than noon Tuesday earlier if possible

LEADS TO sMoKE-FMLED ROOM

"Republican leaders continue to insist that ther must be no talk of candidates" writes G. Goult Lincoln. in the Washington Star (Republican). Ant he adds If they keep that up long enough thu people will come to believe that there are no Re publican candidates worthy of the name"
 Referring to the definite dictum of Charles D 4illes at the recent session of the Republican Ma tional Executive Committee in Washington tha as many States as possible should "at once pu forward and endorse favorable sons" Lincoln says
 The theory advanced by some of the older leaders is that after a full and free con- sideration the delegates to the Republican convention may get together and nominate the best man. The chances are however, that there would be deadlock And when such deadlock comes it is not the general mass of the delegates which selects the compromise candidate but small group of dominant leaders. That group stands for the man it belives will stand for the policies in which the group believes. When small group has nominated a candidate 1t can look to him for favors.
 From that angle, the favorite son can- didate idea might easily lead to another 1920 convention where the late President Harding emerged as the partys choice after a group of the leaders had come to their own conclusions in smoke-filled hotel room in the early hours of the morning.

2G YEARS AGO
DECEMBER 20, 1915.
From The Expire

That the body of William Chris tie, thought to be slain by Edward Krause, has been grappled in the waters of Gastineau Channel is the belief of the three men who are dragging for the remains. About ten days ago, it is claimed, some thing was hooked and lifted about three feet from the floor of the channel, when it broke away. From the location of the spot where it was hooked, the draggers believe it is the weighted body Of Christie.
 Whatever it IS, It IS heavily weighted" said one Of the men. We could lift it about three feet, and then it felt as if piece of cloth would tear away and it would sink. The weather has been so bad that we have not been able to con- tinue the work, but we know where the spot is, and will return to it tomorrow
 Evidence that Edward Krause killed a Japanese and Swedish boy who lived near his mining camp in Duncan Canal is very strong, say detectives, who claim Krause is as deep dyed murderer as he has been characterized.
