THINKS ALASKA
IS ALL RIGHT
Washington, March 14—Secretary
of the Interior Franklin K. Lane
said today that he believed that
within the next few years the scen
ic beauty of Alaska will attract
travelers from the entire world.
He also believed the Canadian gov
ernment ready to make an ex
tension of its railroad system to
make connection with the trunk
line government railroad which is
to be built in Alaska. He also
suggested that a branch railroad
should be built eastward from
Fairbanks, which would strike
the international boundary between
Alaska and the Yukon at some
point west of and near Whitehorse.
BIILLiOSE ARE
SEEN ON CREEK
Two ladies, while out driving on
the upper Dominion road Saturday,
saw three large bull moose right
along the edge of the government
highway. The animals were asleep,
and, when awakened by the ap
proach of the travelers, made away.
Two went toward Foarnier's, and
one headed up Remington pup. One
old bull was a particularly fine
specimemn of the highland mose,
with a splendid spread of horns,
specimen of the highland moose,
se*.n recently at Jensen, on Lower
Dominion, with a mate. As there
have been a number of moose seen
on Dominion of late, the ladies i
were not slarmed in this instance,
but took great Interest in the way
the noble animals covered- the
ground in their retreat.—Daw

Mill FOR
1914 CAMPAIGN
By ARTHUR W. 1>UXN.
Washington, D. C., March 14—Is
the conn try prosperous or is it suffer
ing from hard times? Tills discussion
comes up periodically iu both houses
of congress, und the Republicans cite
newspaper accounts of mills closing
down nnd workmen out of employment
as an evidence that Democratic legis
lation has brought on hard times. The
Democrats stuff the record full of quo
tations from various newspapers to
show that the country is in a prosper
ous condition, and that ft is really
booming.
Discussion along these lines will con
tinue as long as congress is in session,
because it is a part of tho campaign of
1011. If the Republicans do not show
that the country is worse off on ac
count of Democratic ascendency, the
Democrats will win the coming con
gressional elections, and if they do
win In 1011 they will be well intrench
ed for the presidential campaign two
years from now.
As a Lawyer Sees It.
•\V. P. Clough. for many years a rail
road lawyer iu Minnesota and now lo
cated in New York, says that the pres
ent depression, if real depression ex
ists, Is because work is tiuished.
"We have built all the railroads that
we need,'* he said, "and we have built
nearly all of (be buildings we need.
We have stopped erecting great build
ings iu Xe.v York because we have
space enough to accommodate our In
terests. As to (here being over 300,
000 unemployed In New York, why,
that is only one-third of the number
of people that come to New York ev
ery year from foreign shores und seek
employment. We have completed most
of the great projects necessary for the
present time, and we have reached one
of those periodical stages of stopping
great works until the country catches
up. They happen about every ten
years, and there is nothing strange in
the present situation."
Proposed Monument to General Lee.
Iu a glowing tribute to Lincoln and
Grant'Congressman Pou of North Car
olina made a p'eafor the erection of a
monument by the United States gov
ernment to General Rupert E. Lee. He
wanted it located right across the ave
nue from the big mouument that is
now going up to the memory of Gen
eral Grant. And. by the way, that
Grant mouument is bidden behind
trees and located on such low ground
that it will never amount to much as a
monnment.
In the course of his remarks Con
gressman Pou said: "We fight here for
party advantages. You Republicans
|put us in a hole, so to speak, one day,
and we are trying to find an opportu
nity to pay you back on the morrow.
These partisan battles are soon forgot
ten, but when n man does a big, broad,
patriotic thing it is remembered."
Bowdle and the Rules.
Congressman Bowdle has made a
catechism of the house rules which he
has offered to any member who wants
It. Generously he has refused to nsk
the government to print his book, and
In a modest way he says that any
member of the house can have it who
desires it. He told the house that he
once thought too much time was spent
in haggling over the rules. That was
his opinion when he first came to .con
gress. and he was particularly antago
nistic to Congressman Mann of Illi
nois. who made a specialty of rules,
but he changed his mind and concluded
that the rules were absolutely neces
sary. with all their complications, and
he bowed his respects to the able par
liamentarians i'i the house who could

Committee Changes.
The deutb of Senator Bacon of Geor
gia will cause quite a number of com
mittee changes in the senate. Sena
tor Stone of Missouri will become
chairmau of the committee on foreign
relations, and unless the system of
seniority is overthrown Senator As
burst of Arizona is likely to become
chairman of the committee on Indian
affairs. This would be a remarkable
advance for Ashurst, as he has not
been a senator two years. Under the
new Democratic regime, however, the
new senators have not been held back
to give the older statesmen all the
choice plums.
Slayden Not Alone.
Congressman Slayden of Texas some
times jokingly refers to himself as the
"only reactionary left." There are
many things in connection with pres
ent day legislation which Slayden re
fuses to support, but he hasn't any
thing on his colleague, Martin Dies.
"I shall not vote for these nostrums
of socialism." declared Dies in the
house when speaking of the Alaska
railroad bill. There are other progres
sive policies of the Democratic party
which neither Dies nor Slayden will
support.
