TEDDY "BIG ROASTS n Declares That Territory Has Been Strangled by Capitalists Who Wished to 'Dovciop,' by Making Immense Fortunes. NEW YOHK, July 22. Denuncin lioh of "Hig Husiness" for retarding Ihu development of Alaska is tlio bur den of nn nrtiolo just published liere by former President Hoosevelt in tlio current number of. the. Outlook. Koosovelt declares tho territory hns been Klrnngled "by grout oapitnlists wish (o Movelop Alaska by makim; enormous fortunes outside of nnd in de.finneo of tlio law," nnd by members of congress, who "under tbe influ ence or afraid of tbe hostility of cor porations, decline to permit the pass age of legislation enabling tbe peoplo to work honestly and develop tbe coal fields wtih a fair profit to theuiM-lves while doing .justice to others." ColoifeT Ilooscveli .continues: "Con troller Uay. offers the only ebauee or at any rate tbe best chance, of a free outlet from the Beliting rivet coal field?; lt- was the imperative duty of the government to keep this outlet frep ami not tj disjypSe of it (o individuals. "'Unfoftunnteiy, the intqrior depart ment, in October, eliminated from the government reserves not only 320 acres, the elimination of which had been mistaken by the department of agriculture, but 12,800 acres. Wheth er there was or was not impropriety in the way in which this elimination was brought, whether there was im- propriety in tho insetant filing of the claims of Richard S. Ityau, docs not go to tho root of the matter, which is that no such elimination should have been made. "The public interest demanded that ibis land should be kept under pub lic control to prevent monopoly or else its acquisition by private persons should have been permitted only un der such conditions as the public need required. Such action would not have hindered development, but would have favored it. for it would have en abled an honest coloration to do its part in developing the country.'. LET OREGON TRY System fiRisT Until Merits of Popular Government Are Demonstrated, Prof. Schttr man of Cornell, Says Other States Should Go Slow. PORTLAND. Ore, July 22. Until tho merits of tho "Oregon system" of primary elections, have been es timated, It Is unailvlsalilc for other common-wealths to adopt Immediat ely such a plan of government. This is tho opinion of Jacob G. Schurman, president of Cornell Unl verslty, who is In Portland on his way to Alaska. "When theso innovations have proved themselves safe ,niul practt cnl." said Professor Schurman,."then it will be time for their general ado- lion in all tho states. Personally I am opposed to the adoption of the direct primary in New York for tho present, although both parties are committed by their state platforms to the drafting of such u system." President Schurman says tlio pros pect of republican success in the na tional olectlon next year throughout the east is much better than it was six months ago. The insurgent move ment has virtually, collapsed, ho says. leaving tho nomination of Taft as sured. If he receives -tho nomination, Schurman is convinced that President Taft will bo re-elected?

John Slater, Spiritualist, served no tice on -politicians-today that on next TiiosHay he would give to the public the names of the candidates in the next presidential election nnd at the same time would name the winner. Pn trick Welch of Simkano, prin- r cipal owner of the Rogue Hiver Canal company, ot Medford, and his asso ciates have been awarded the con tract for the construction of ;"1 miles Of the Canadian Northern railroad between Port Arthur and Sudbury, Out., for $12,000,000. This is the second large contract obtained by the same persons from the same company within a month, and constitutes a. new record in the annals of railroad contracting. The time set for the completion is Octo ber. 1913. The contract awarded will be con ducted under Ihe firm name of Folrj Bros. & tho Northern Construction company, those thus associated being Pat Welch and J. W. Stewart, of Snoknne, Foley brothers of St. Paul, Minn.; A. It. Mann and A. C. Mac kenzie, of Toronto. SAl.KM, Oiv July 22. Governor West intends to ohano the old adage that "it takes a thief to catch a UuVn and will act on the belief that it "takes a convict to catch a con vict." , ' He said today. that tlio next time one of his "honor men" makes a break from the work that has be assigned to him outside of the peni tentiary ho will select two or three convicts on whom ho believes he Can implicitly rely and will send tlirm forth to capture the fugitive. He will go even farther than that and supply the coiiviets with guns. That the convicts so delegated would make their attempts to catch the fugitive onlv as a matter of duty is. another part of the governor's theory. So far as in known, hero thu idea is one new to prison history nnd when used will probably be the first in stance of the kind in the annuls of convict hunting. SACRAMENTO.
