Views of Falcon Joslin
at American Min
ing Congress.
Chicago, Oct. 21.—“The na
tionalization of its industries and

driven capital from Alaska and
held up the development of its

and oil industries of Alaska are
at a standstill, declaring that
Alaska today is importing all
coal and oil used.
Love of Dogs Makes
Friends o* San Diego
Boy and the President
The following, taken from the Sac
Diego Union, tells of two dogs aud
their pals. Walter Terry,^Ihe vounger
pal, it may be stated incidentally* is a
nephew of William and Ed Schneirla,
the well known Ophir mining men:
Friends of good dogs are pals the
world over, whatever the difference in
igh or estate.
That is why Warren G. Harding,
president of the United States, and 12
year old Walter Terry, who lives at
83& Sixteenth street, San Diego, are
real friends.
Both Walter Terry and President
Harding once had good little dogs,
great friends of theirs. President
Harding's dog was named “Hub,” and
when he died—killed by poison—Presi
dent Harding, who was then a news
paper man, wrote an obituary for Hub
in his paper, the Marion Star.
President Harding later referred to
that little obituary notice as the best
newspaper story h< ever wrote.
The- Union printed an account of
what President Harding had to say
about that newspaper story, and repro
duced the story itself, telling of the
great man’s sorrow over the cruel
death of his pal, Hub.
Walter also had had a dog—“name
‘Jefferson Davis,’ but we just called
him ‘Jeff’”—and his dog, too, had
been poisoned.
So when Walter read about Presi
dent Harding and the dog be once had
Waller sat down and-wrote a letter to
the President, telling of his own ex
perience and bis sympathy with the
President. The President, through his
personal secretary, at once answered
Walter’s letter.
The two letters tell their- own story.
Here is Walter’s:
Hon. Warren G. Harding,
President United States-of America,
Washington, D. C.:
Dear Friend—
You are a friend of mine because you
are President and because you like
dogs.
The Sunday MorniDg Union of our
town primed something about the
story you wrote about your dog where
you said the best thing you ever wrote
was an obituary for your dog. I.surely
feel just like you did when you.- wrote
that.
Our dog’s registered name was Jef
ferson Davis, but we just called him
! Jeff. He was everything you said
| about Hub, and more, too. because^ he
watched us children every day. He
followed us everywhere we went, and
would never let anyone touch us One
day when a wild cat came near he
jumped at it and caught it by the
throat and held it until it died. Al
though Jeff had been in many bad
fights aDd bad killed eight coons, this
was the worst light he ever had and he
lost one eve. Jell was a thoroughbred
Irish terrier, but he always seemed
like a big brother to us, because -he
was always protecting us. ,
Then another cue of those l,men’:
you wrote about poisoned him. I just
wish I could read him what vou have
.written. I know that he would feel
ashamed of himself and never do any
thing like it again. Good is here even
if dogs have to express it. I am send
ing a picture so you can see us children
and Jetf. Good by. Your friend,
W alter Terry.
Here is the letter Walter received
from the President:
The White House,
Washington.
My Dear Walter:
The President, was verv glad to re
ceive your letter, ami he also enjoyed
the picture of yourself and the other
children, with Jeff and the fine string
of fish. ,
The President says that, your Jeff
must have been another of those brave,
faithful dogs that set such good ex
amples to men. It seems hard to be
lieve that there could be two men mean
enough to poison such dogs as Jeff and
Hub. The President thinks that your
letter about Jeff is quite, as good an
obituary as the one be wrote for Hub.
The President sympat hizps with you
in the loss of your pet. He likes to
think .that a boy who likes dogs as well
as you do is also a friend of his.
