Sitka, Alaska, Aug. 26. Even In con
servative Sitka, oldest town In Alaska,
formerly territorial capital, one finds
most powerful sentiment In favor of
"Home Rule for Alaska," In support of
Delegate Wickersham, and. against the
, encroachments pf the Morgan-Guggenheim
Alaska syndicate. Sitka was
founded In 1804; was made the head
quarters of the Russian government,
and here stands a celebrated old Rus
sian Greek Cathollo church, which was
brought around Cape Horn on sailing
vessels In about 1840, from Russia, In
It are art treasures valued at $200,000.
Of course, Sitka's importance has de
parted. Once the chief city, now it
employs Itself mostly in entertaining
tourists and extracting money from
their pockets for Indian curios. In
this Sitka is skilled. Juneau, present
capital of Alaska, took away the only
thing of value that remained for Sitka,
that ,1s, the only thing of commercial
or po'litlcal Importance. ,
Beauties Remain.
But its beauties these remain, and
always will rerrjaln, until the last log

La Grande, Or., Sept. 6. A string of
mountains running from Baker to the
Snake river in eastern Oregon, bisecting
Union, Wallowa and Baker counties, is
at present deslgnuted by as many dif
ferent names as there are large towns
and counties in ite district, and an effort
has been made to get a uniform name
for It. Granite is the ono name that Is
popular in Union county, and It seems
that name will eventually be adopted
for the range which Is now known as
the North Powder, Powder. Granite e.nd
Eagle mountains, according to the locality.
Sturdy Settler Woman Buried.
(Special to The Journal.)
La Grande, Or., Sept. 6. Sacajawea's
praises have been sung afar, but It Is
doubtful whether her gruelling Journey
f years ago was much harder than that
of Mrs. John Baker, who was burled
here today after a long period spent in
this city. In 1882, Mrs. Baker came to
Oregon with a train of immigrants, and
though she had a babe In arms, walked
all the way. less 20 miles, from San
dusky, Iowa, td La Grande. Much of
the time she carried her baby in her
arms, though when conditions permitted
It was placed In the prairie schooner.
Since then she .and her husband had
made La Grand their bom. She was 73
years of age.

La Grande, Or., Sept. 6. William
Hogg, High Valley rancher, and at one
time an Inmate of the state prison at

yesterday to three to 20 years because
of an attack on a half wltted girl In
