LOCAL OPTION
FOR ALASKA
Want Alaskans to Vote on Privilege
of Opening Saloons, Says Sew
ard Gateway.
To carry ou the policy of "Home
Itule for Alaska” petitions are being
circulated by many of the political
clubs throughout the territory asking
that the people and not congress be
allowed to decide the saloon uestion,
says the Seward Gateway of a re
cent date.
The “wet-dry” controversy has been ■
brought to a head by Falconer’s bill, j
which would prohibit the sale and '
manufacture of liquor in the territory, !
and has resulted in the following res- j
olution to congress, from the Demo -
cratic club at Haines:
“Whereas, on the 7th day of April, j
1914, a bill was introduced in the
congress by Congressman J. A. Fal
coner. of Washington, prohibiting the !
manufacture and sale of liquor in j
Alaska; and, |
Whereas, the Territory of Alaska |
Is now an. organized territory with !
Its own elective legislature; and,
“Whereas, there will be a general
election throughout the territory in
November of this year for the elec
tion to congress, at which time the
people of the Territory of Alaska
could vote their sentiments with re
gard as whether or not they desire
prohibtion for this territory without
the necessity of holding a special
election; and,
“Whereas, the Democratic way to
settle the matter would be by a di
rect vote of the people; therefore,
“Be it resolved, that the Haines i
Democratic (Club respectively peti- j
tion the Congress, that the question :
as to whether or not there shall be
submitted to a vote of the people of
the Territory of Alaska at the elec
tion to be held for Delegate to con- j
gress in November, 1914.
“And Be It Futher Resolved, that \
a copy of this resolution be sent to
the President of the senate, one copy
to the Speaker of the house, one copy
each to the known democratic clubs
in Alaska, asking them to take simi
lar action.’'
PITCHER FIGHTS PANTHER.
Mitchell of Cleveland Club Kill* Ani
mal After Four Shot*.
Sardis, Miss.—News has been receiv
ed from the camp of the Cleveland
baseball club’s pitcher Willie Mitchell
about a thrilling battle between Mitch
ell and a wounded panther.
Mitchell had been hunting quail with
his brother. After bagging a sufficient
quantity of game Mitchell’s brother re
turned to the camp near Ballenttne and
the pitcher stopped at the camp of a
friend.
Mitchell started for his camp early
tn the evening. When about halfway
back he saw a panther on the branch
es of a tree. Mitchell Bred, and the an
imal tumbled to the ground not badly
hurt and rushed for the pitcher. Mitch
ell Bred again, but the panther contin
ued its advance, although bleeding
from two wounds. A third shot also
failed to stop it
The animal was within a few feet of
Mitchell, who prepared for a hand to
hand struggle with the animal If the
next shot failed. But the fourth shot
vf’ent home, and the animal dropped
dead at Mitchell's feet.
STUDENTS’ MILITARY CAMPS.
Major General Leonard Wood Indoraoa
Instruction Movement.
Major General Leonard Wood, chief
of staff of the army, has sent out to
school superintendents all over the
I country a letter Indorsing the student
! military instruction camps to be held
In the coming summer. Alluding to
the fact that these camps have the
hearty indorsement of President Wil
son and ex-President Taft as well as
leading educators, General Wood says:
“These camps are of great value not
only to the student from a physical
and educational standpoint, but to the
nation, in that it spreads among its
citizens a considerable amount of
sound military information and In
creases by just that much the number
of partially trained men who would be
available and greatly needed in time of
emergency.”
The camps will be held at Asheville,
N. C.; Burlington, Vt., and I.udington,
Mich., from July 8 to Aug. 7; at Mon
terey, Cal., from June 28 to July 81.
