General Carranza and other leaders

Of this
sum 1150.000 will be offered direct oy

It is said to be the largest prize

The race, the climax of the world's
aeronautical activities thus far, is to

Contestants will have 90 days in

The race is to start and finish on the

movements, in a communication just I
received by Gilbert H. Grosvenor, di-
rector of the National Geographic so
ciety, substantiates his claim to the
discovery of a new railway route in
Alaska connecting Portage or Passage
Bay, on the west side of Prince Wil-
ijam Sound, to Turnagain Arm
Although the United States geolog
ical survey, in a bulletin made public
January 1, says that "some excite
ment has been caused by the discovery
of a feasible railway route" connect
ing the two points, Professor Martin
points out that the discovery was
made by the 1910 Alaskan expedition
of the National Geographic society
under his direction.
"We feel certain that, including the
cost of the long tunnel, a railway only
11 or 12 miles long and practically at
sea level could have been built from
Passage Canal to Turnagain Arm for
much less than the $5,000,000 used in
the construction of the 65 miles of the
Alaska Northern railway from Seward
to Turnagain Arm," says Professor
Martin. "This would have resulted

Scientist Believes Great
Steps In Near Future
Paris Professor Paul Ehrlich, the
noted German scientist, who is spend
ing his vscation in Paris, is engaged
in experimenting on a remedy for
sleeping sickness and believes he will
be successful in his research. With
regard to the advances of science, he
said :
"lam convinced that the next ten
years will see immense progress in the
treatment of contagious diseases by
radium and the X-rsy, which still are
imperfectly investigated. Perhaps
cancer will be conquered. The new
discoveries will be along the lines of
chemico-radio-therapy. "
Rumblings Arouse Fear.
Oroville, Cal. The residents in the
vicinity of Cinder Cone, Lassen coun
ty, are greatly alarmed over rumblings
of a wierd and uncanny nature which
seem to come from the depths of the
lava beds that surround that section.
The only explanation given is that
they are the "result of volcanic ac
tion." The people believe the vol
canic upheaval was comparatively re
cent and that not far under that crust
a volcano still is smoldering. Stock
men a year ago reported they had seen
flames and smoke issuing from fissures.

tion Bill 211 tO 126.
" " ;
;
Bill is Same as One Vetoed by Pres-j
ident Taft Applicants .Must
Kcad Test Card.
Washington, D. C The Burnett im
migration bill, prescribing a literacy
test for applicants to admission to the
United States, was passed by the
house Wednesday afternoon, by a vote
of 241 to 126. All proposed amend
ments relating to the exclusion of Asi
atic immigrants previously had been
eliminated.
As the bill passed it provides that
every immigrant admitted to the
United States must be able to read
"the English language, or some other
language or dialect, including Hebrew
or Yiddish." It prescribes that each
applicant for admission must read a
slip on which are printed between 30
and 40 words.
In its present form this measure
passed the house and the senate in the
last congress, but was vetoed by Pres
ident Taft. A similar bill was vetoed
In President Cleveland's second ail min
istration. Supporters of the bill are
confident it will again pass the senate,
although President Wilson has let it
be known that he docs not approve the
literacy test.
Opponents of the literacy test
fought desperately to the last, but on
a last effort to eliminate the test from
the bill they were defeated, 140 to
239. The final vote came at the end
of a day of vigorous debate, which on
several occasions threatened to cause
serious trouble.
Representative Burnett, of Ala
bama, in charge of the bill, tried to
hasten the debate and frequently
moved to proceed and shut off the dis
cussion. On one occasion Representa
tive Manahan, cf Minnesota, comment
ed on what he called the unfairness
with which the bill had been driven
through.

Civil Supervision Urged.
Washington, D. C. Secretary Dan
iels continued his discussion of the
Nation's naval policy before the house
naval affairs committee, outlining the
conduct of the government navy-yards.
Representative Buchanan, of Illi
nois, asserted that the practice of
placing naval officers as commandants
in navy-yards cots the government
the price of s battleship every year in
efficiency. Ho urged that civilian
experts be placed in charge of the
yards. Secretary Daniels said the
proposal presented a grave problem.
The secretary again was questioned
as to the relative strength of the navy
compared to the fleets of other powers.
Toll Dill May Go Over.
Washington, D. C. After a confer
ence with President Wilson Senator
O'Gorman, one of the chief supporters
of exemption from tolls for American
coastwise vessels in the Panama canal,
expressed the opinion that the ques
tion would not be reached during the
present session of congress. "I
doubt," said the senator, "whether we
will do much more than pass the trust
bills, the agricultural extension bill
and the appropriation bills. This is
going to be a short session." The tolls
provision may be suspended.
FIUXCIS XAYIEIt JIATTIIiai,
PIONEER OF NOUTIUVEST
Francis Xsvier Matthleu, the most
picturesque link between the old Ore-
gon of trading posts and canoes and
the new Oregon of railroads, sleum-
ships ,nJ uV,prtment stores, died
Wednesday morning at the home of
daughter, Mrs. Kwe Hergevin, at
Kutteville, Or. Mr. Matthieu was a
pioneer of 1842, and the sole survivor
of the famous Champotg convention of
May 2, when it was voted to
organize an American provisional gov
ernment. It was his vote that derided
the issue and probably saved the great
i territory of Oregon, Washington, and
1 a large part of Montana, Idaho and
! California, to the United States, in
stead of allowing it to become a part
of Great Britain.
Mr. Mutthieu would have been 96
years old April 2, 1914. He had been
i ailing for the past year, but retained
his mental faculties until the end.
Alaska Steamer Lost;
All on Hoard Saved
Prince Rupert, It. C. The steam
ship Vadso, of the Union line, Captain
Richardson, sank in Nasoga Gulf,
Portland Canal, at 3:15 a. m. Thurs
day. The boat, en route for Gsnby
Bay, in a heavy storm, hit a rock,
sinking in half an hour in 170 fath
oms. Twenty-six persons on board
were all saved, reaching here by the
steamship Venture.
The skipper's ownftory of the sink
ing is that the Vadso struck in a wild
storm when it was still dark. The
steamer immediately began to fill.
Many of the crew were in their bunks,
and had only time to get a few per
sonal effect and lower away small
boats. Ail of the freight, including a
big coal shipment, was lost. The sur
vivors reached Arrandate cannery,
where they were picked up.
All Asiatic Exclusion
Amendments Are Killed
Washington, D. C. Asiatic exclu
sion agitation was quieted, temporar
ily at least, in the house after a heat
ed djbate that brought both Republi
can and Democratic leaders to the
floor with pleas for calmness and de
liberation. By overwhelming votes
the house stripped from the immigra
tion bill under consideration all
amendments that would have placed a
bar against Asiatic immigration.
speakers
insisted there should be no
hasty action that might embarrass the
State department in Its relations with
Japan.
Federal Employes Warned.
Washington, D. C Classified Fed
eral employes affiliated with sufTrsge
organizations were warned they would
be liable to removal from office under
the civil service laws if they partici
pated in political activities either as
officers or members. Mr. Mcllhenny
said that "competitive classified em
ployes may he members of political
clubs or similar political organiza
tions, but it Is improper for them to
be active in the formation or organiza
tion of the club, to be officers thereof,
or as members to influence others."
Boy Delivered Hy Mail.
Wellington, Kan. Mrs. E. H. Sta
ley, of this city, received her 2-year-old
nephew by parcel post from his
grandmother in Stratford, Okla.,
where he had been left for a visit
three weeks ago. The boy wore a tag
about his neck showing it had cost 18
cents to sent him through the mails.
He was transported 25 miles by rural
route before reaching the railroad.

for the freedom from suffering that has come to these

such recommendations; you may depend upon it that any
