ME- S. BRUNELLE.
HAS PROPOSALS
FOR LEGISLATION
Senior Senator from Third
Division Reports Good
Season at Cordova

Legislation favoring a minimum
wage law for school teachers, Ter
ritorial sale of liquor and the So
cial Security Act are of especial
interest to M. E. S. Brunette, Demo-
crat of Cordova, senior Senator
from the Third Division, who ar
rived in Juneau on the Gen. w. G.
Gorgas Tuesday from his home.
In legislation for a minimum
wage for school teachers OF the
Territory. Senator Brunette would
raise present qualifications for
teaching in Alaska.
Senator Brunelle's proposals re-
garding legislation for the coming
session are in line with his chair
manship during the 1895 Legisla-
ture of the committee on Educa-
ton, Public Health, Morals, Terri
torial offices and Institutions.
other committees of which Senator
Brunette was a member during the
last Legislature are Fisheries, Game
and Agriculture; Mining, Manu-
featuring and Labor; Engrossment
and Enrolment.
He is President of the Territorial
Chamber of Commerce.
Coed Season at Cordova
In spite of strikes, Cordova has
had a good season, according to
Senator Brunette. The fishing sea-
son was the best in history. In
terest in mining has increased
prospecting in the Copper River
section.
Food Shortage
At present Cordova = suffering
from a food shortage as the result
of the maritime strike. Since the
beginning of the strike the situa-
ton there has been bad, Senator
Brunette said. For three weeks the
town was out of flour, butter. eggs
and potatoes. The arrival of the
Gen. w c. Gorgas relieved the
situation somewhat, but the town
now has no green's and is on a
ration Of six cans of milk per sale
until the arrival of another ship
from the south which will not be
until late this month.
Senator Brunette, who is en-
ployed by the Copper River and
Northwestern Railroad at Cordova
represented Gov John W. Troy in
the railroad strike that lasted from
August until September 10 last
summer and has been highly prais-
ed by the Governor for the work
he accomplished in bringing the
employers and employees together
and arranging the settlement oil
the strike. But of this the Senator
from Cordova had little to say. 1t
was a job given him to do, and
he is happy that he was able to
accomplish it.
Weather Clc1ed r.. X.
Bad luck has followed the rail-
road since the strike ended. Only
four trains had run before weather
took out snow sheds and slides
closed the road After the road
was open, it was closed again the
day before Thanksgiving, and there
had been no train over the route

sary to get winter supplies into

Book Reviews
BY Bernice Finnegan

Black Forest, by Meade Mining
erode.
Meade Minnigerode writes his
historical stories, whether fiction
or fact with racing speed, rous-
ing sense of the sweep Of time and
Of the vitality of men and women.
In this book, which is a novel in its
form and a history in its back
ground, he turns from the French
Revolution to the early years Of
the American scene, to the time
when America was being hewed
from q forest Of wilderness and
shaped by war and the pressure Of
events into q nation. His theme Is
the struggle for land in a rapidly
growing country; 1t eliminates In
the story Of the great Ordinance of
1887.
The books opens in 1854 in the
forest Of Kaskaskia, on the night
when Angus Drumlin knitted Paliz-
eau, fought Jean Pic and vanished
taking with him the lovely Solange
Monvel. In the years that followed
t4VeS-o9 Angus ana SOIanSe
Monvel were intimately involved
with the great events of those days
-Dinwiddie's war with French,
Braddock's expedition, the Pontiac
Uprising, George Rogers Clark's
march on Vincennes, the formation
Of the great land companies. the
Revolution, and the ultimate open
ing of the Northwest Territory to
settlement by the veterans of that
war.
Angus and Solange, Lazarus and
Patrick Burgoon and the rest Of
Mr.. Minnigerode's fictional charac-
tiers appear as real to the reader as
Washington, Franklin, Jefferson,
Daniel Boone, George Croghan,
George Rogers Clark, and many
others.
It's publication in 1887 is particu-
larly timely, for 1t is just $50 years
since Congress acting for the first
time to extend the territory of the
United States, passed the Ordinan-
ce Of 1857. This established the

helping him down the floor, but an
untimely dribble gave the defensive
a chance to nab him as he shot.
Ethun accounted for the lone point
with a free shot for the locals.
Doyle and Minikus counted in
the second frame with two buckets
when the fast pace hurried the To-
Gals into missing the shots they did
take. Benson spurred a blazing at
tack in this quarter that outran
the local attempt, led the way to a
10 to 4 score at haftime.
Then it was Walker, who made
the first local goal when he moved
in fast to take a short shot. Three
free shots brought the locals to
their finest scoring threat OF the
game, but Benson led by johnson
and Minikus waltzed far into the
lead with a II to 8 total.
In the final frame lone bucket
for each team ended the scoring
but not the terrific pace Of the
game. Conkey counted with a bask-
ct for the locals; Lanyard was the
Benson scorer.

CHRISTMAS CANDY

Saturday night has been report
ed, and although the losses were
not large, yet at least one was
quite inconvenient. Having made
a purchase Of Christmas candies
and nuts for her school children,
Miss Alvina Sukke, daughter OF
Oscar Sukke, went to a movie.
She left the Christmas goodies
in the car, which was unlocked,
and when she returned they
were gone. Miss Sukke teaches
school northeast Of Osakis, and
although the cnlldren will have
their Christmas candies and

could be listed as one of the
meanest. AS the person, who re-
ported the incident said, there
was no good will" in that act.
