In this, its first convention as KMnblrfl. representing by properly arced ited delecates the entire Pacific Northwest territory of the United States, comprising the Mates of Oregon. Washington, Idaho nil Montana, anil California, hereby makes the following declaration of its .policies nd purposes: Kirt Its efforts shall be exerted to promote the improvement and use of all the Inland and roa.it waterways, of the I nlted states in general, and (be above named Pacific northwest states In par ticular. tor transportation purposes In cnni-nnanee with the National Rivers' and Harbors concress. it will advocate and support the policy of general waterway Improvement by the general government throughout the United States. in ac cordance with its motto: "A policy, not a protect." at the same time reserving the right to especially advocate and assist in promoting the Improvement of all meri torious proj.-cts within the territory repre sented by its membership in preference to ot hers. Second It believes n and urges the na tional congress to adopt the pulicv of mak ing annual appropriations for "river and harbor improvtment. and of furthering the completion of all plans approved by the mted States corps of engineers, when such approvals have been adopted bv con greys, by the continuing contract method, wherever practicable, as the best means cf securing that economy, efficiency and speed in the prosecution of government work which obtains in the carrying on of private enterprises. Third We strenuously urge congress to make regular appropriations for river and harbor improvement, of not less than . ,0.0011.(100 annually, to be apportioned in accordance with the importance of the projects undertak.n and the recommenda t.ons of the engineering department. Fourth We heartily approve the policy of congress in especially favoring those municipalities which have shown their lonfidence in their own projects bv taxing themselves for the purpose of furthering and maintaining their improvements, and recommend ujiat some sort of a bonus sys tem be worked out wherebv such com munities may receive additional substan tial benefits in proportion to their import ance, by reason of having materially con tributed to the prosecution of their local enterprise. Kifth We heartily approve, and demand the complete enforcement of, the provi sions of the Panama canal act of 1912 relating to the separate ownership and operation of rail and water lines; for co-operation between rail and water routes in the Issuance of through bills of lading, and equitable prorating, and for maktnj physical connections of such routes wher ever possible. Sixth While viewing with much satis faction the progress which has been mada in providing suitable terminals along wa terways w hich have been - improved and re in process of improving, we strongly urge the several states, cities and other political subdivisions to a continuance of and extension of such work as the only means whereby the countrv as a whole may secure the full benefit and advantage of dependable, permanently-improved channels. General Brown, however. In hie clos ing argument, while declaring that "every law enforcing- officer should biush with shame at such action." showed that the third degree methods were used ten days prior .to the con fessions before the grand jury and that before confessions were made the defendants had been warned that any statements they might make would be used against them in their trial at a later date. Lengthy instructions covering all points of the evidence and arguments w-ere addressed to the jurors ty Judge f neips before he ordered them to re tire for deliberation. Ruling on the biggest issue of the trial, that of the effect of the third degree inves tigation on the defendants, the judge stated that the evidence introduced by the defense establishing that there had been rough treatment of the prisoners, should be considered only by the jury to determine whether or not the statements made before the grand jury were voluntary, and if the statements were voluntary, then the evidence introduced should not be considered from a sympathetic stand point. Rollcnll of Jury Mode. "The question of guilt or innocence is a matter of fact," the judge in structed, "and not of sympathy, prej udice or amount of punishment."

Attorney- Days of Mining' Past, Says Forest Service Expert Just Back From Arctic Tour. Certainty of paper pulp projects be ing successful and of the government railroad being completed is putting heart in the people of Alaska, who have been suffering due to the slump in gold mining.

"The mines can't afford to run, and in some of the biggest districts there would be only a single one in operation where there had been dozens. The refusal of the government to allow a bonus on gold, requested to tide over the emergency, is causing many min ers to leave the country."

Mr. Guthrie went on to Nenana by the new-branch raliroad and then through the 180-mile gap in the line on horseback. Forces Under Wrangel Take 4000 Prisoners. UKRAINIAN ARMY JOINED Obituaiy.'
