mers work on his graphite property in the
Sawtooth mountains, in the Imuruk basin,

quantity this summer, about 100 tons of
which were to have been sent to New York

Former Ruby Man Married
A! Birnbaum, an Alaskan of twenty
years’ residence, who was in Juneau a fen
weeks ago en route to Seattle, was marrier
to a Miss Russell in Seattle a short time ago
according to the Juneau Dispatch. Birn
baum, who had been in business at Ruby
with E. VV. Griffin since the start of that
camp in 1911, left that place last summer.
Formerly he was in business at Chena and
other towns in Alaska.
Substantial Balm for Wounded Heart
Margaret Strand was awarded a verdict
of £20.000 by a jury in her breach of prom
ise suit for $51,000 against Peter Malone of
Fairbanks, according to a Seattle dispatch
of November 21. Her testimony that the
mining operator made the proposal on a
nountain top, then sent her to Seattle and
failed to meet her, having in the meantime
married in Fairbanks, was set forth in de"

Revelle Is Awarded Whole Claim
By virtue of a decision just rendered by
Secretary of the Interior Lane, "Colonel"
H. E. Revelle of Seward, who is the con
tractor on the Seward-Iditarod mail route,
has been awarded a patent to a homestead
of 320 acres which has been in dispute for
several years. Revelle was the first settler
on Resurrection bay. having taken up a
homestead of 320 acres in 1903. Subse
quently he applied for patent thereto. Ob
jection was made to his entry, fraud being
alleged. The Juneau land office officials
heard the case, and, while they were satis
fied that the allegations of fraud probably
aad some merit, it was their opinion that
:hey applied, if at all, to only 285 acres of
:he tract, leaving 35 acres which Revelle
should receive title to, and so held. The
lecision of the Juneau land office was re
viewed by the commissioner of the gen
eral land office at Washington, by whom
:he ruling of the Juneau land office was re
versed, the commissioner holding that if
raud entered into the transaction it would
.is applicable to the entire tract, and that
lie applicant should not receive title to
my portion thereof. From this decision of
he commissioner the matter was carried to
he secretary of the interior, and in his re
view of the case he overruled the opinion
:f the commissioner and sustained the de
ision of the Juneau office. While the mat
er was pending before the secretary of the
nterior a further showing was allowed to
le made by the applicant, w'hich resulted
n Revelle being awarded a patent to the
■ntire homestead of 320 acres.

FIRST WOMAN CONGRESSMAN
IS KNOWN AS WORKER
IN BEHALF OF SUFFRAGI
(Missoula, Mont., Letter in Juneau Empire
East of the city of Missoula, a half hour’:
walk from the business section, a grea
remnant of rock looms conspicuously. I
is called Jumbo mountain, so closely does i
resemble the head and shoulders of an cle
phant, and the color of his hide.
Miss Jeanette Rankin, the first womai
to be elected to congress, lives almost it
the shadow of the elephant. This is thi
reason, she says laughingly, that she be
came a Republican. Environment has it:
effect in the determination of one’s politic:
as it has upon character.
Mi ss Rankin was elected in tlie face of i
Democratic landslide in Montana. Thi
state cast its electoral vote for Wilson am
chose a Democratic governor, senator am
a representative in congress. Miss Rankir
went before the entire state electorate, a:
i the commonwealth has no congressional dis
1 tricts, electing its representatives at large
How She Entered Politics
Perhaps if it had not been for an illness
which caused Miss Rankin’s physician to
send her to California to convalesce, after
her work in the preparatory school in Mis
soula, she might never have entered poli
tics. On the road to recovery Miss Rankin
read a great deal. It was in the period so
glibly termed the “era of muck raking.”
Contemporary literature was full of the
struggle against corruption, unscrupulous
big business, the scheming politician, and
the social exploiter. Miss Rankin became
interested. She resolved to see for herself
if these things, were true. When she be
came well and strong again she entered
social wmrk in San Francisco, and her field
assignment was the famous Telegraph hill.
After the election, at her home on the
North side—the old families live there—
she traced the steps that led her into social
work, then into the suffrage movement, and
finally into the arena of politics.
Residence Well Known
Any Missoula man can point out the
Rankin residence. It is a two-story brick
structure set a few paces back from the
sidewalk in a yard of fruit trees. It is
sober, almost somber, in appearance, and
maintains an authentic air of age and dig
nity. But inside, in Miss Rankin’s study,
there is brightness and modernity.
Books range themselves on two walls. In
a corner stands a businesslike looking desk,
with a telephone near. Letters and papers
ere piled high on the desk top. Wicker fur
niture, rugs that please the eye, and nu
merous framed pictures of real persons (no
“Horse Fair” or “Monna Lisa” or Whis
ker’s “Mother”) complete the interior.
Books, like friends, are hallmarks of
character. If this be true, then the vol
umes ranged in such orderly fashion on
the study shelves are indices of Miss Ran
kin’s interest. There are many on po
litical and social science and economics
Ely, Ross, Tausseig—these are names to
conjure with. Then there is a work of
.Torn L. Johnson and Henry George’s
“Progress and Poverty.”
Plans in the Making
“Don’t quote me,” seid Miss Rankin deli
nitely, “on political subjects. Unless there
is an extra session it will be some months
before the representatives in congress con
vene. It is too early to say what I shall do
and how I shall vote.”
Miss Rankin indicates, however, even
now, that she will take a great deal of
interest in the Susan B. Anthony amend
ment for suffrage. It is not letting the
cat out of the bag to say that this is one
cf her supreme interests. See her record in
the advancement of the suffrage amend
ment.
bhe campaigned in Caliiorma ana w asn
ington when the suffrage amendments were
before the people. She organized Montana
for the suffrage cause and won a brilliant
victory in that state. She was the first
woman to lobby for suffrage throughout
the session of the assembly in New York.
She has been successful field secretary for
the National Women's Suffrage Association j
and representative of the Congressional 1
Union at Washington. For five years she i
worked tirelessly in the interests of votes j
for women. Needing a vacation, she went
for an ocean voyage to New Zealand. Miss
Rankin had now become interested in the
study of political and social conditions and
was a visitor in Auckland for several
months. When she returned to Missoula
candidates were entering the state primary
race. Friends urged her to be a candidate
and she cast the die.
Women Respond Nobly
“I don’t know what I should have done
without the help of my brother and my
sisters,” said Representative-elect Rankin
in her study F'riday, when the election was
no longer in doubt, “The women of the
state responded loyally. I am very grate
ful to my supporters, men and women.
Mrs. Oscar Sedman of Bisbee, Ariz.; Mrs.
Herbert Bragg of Colfax, Wash.; Mrs.
Thomas E. Kinney of Worland, Mont., and
Miss Edna Rankin, a student in the state
university at Missoula—the sisters Rankin
went on the stump for Jeanette, aided in
organization work, and became almost as
skilled as veterans in things political before
the end of the campaign.
“She won because she works hard, un
derstands people and politics, and had the
united support of the women exercising the
suffrage in a state election for the first time
this year,” was the manner in which a
prominent Missoula Democrat summed up
her victory.
Born in Missoula
Miss Rankin was born and raised in
Missoula. She is in her early 30’s, and it
may well be that she is the youngest rep
resentative in congress as well as the only
woman in the house. She is slender, her
features are regular, in each cheek there is
a bit of rose, and her eyes are full of in
terest, intelligence and humor.
In the East Miss Rankin is well known.
Seattle knows her. She attended the Uni
versity of Washington in 1910, taking work
in the department of political science, and
she was active in the support of the suf
frage cause.
After leaving social work in San Fran
cisco she entered the New York School of
Philanthropy, and upon going to Seattle
was for a time engaged in work for the
Washington Children’s Home Finding So
ciety. Miss Rankin campaigned in North
and South Dakota, Delaware, Florida, New
York, Montana and Washington when suf
frage was before the voters, made a tour
of suffrage and was the field organizer for
the borough of Manhattan, which engaged
her entire time in the work.
On the library desk at 124 Madison street,
Missoula, Miss Rankin has many telegram
of congratulation from suffrage leaders i:
the West, Middle West and East, and fror
, personal friends in many states, who ma;
1 or may not believe in suffrage, but atl
mire the future “gentlewoman from Mon
tana”’

TERRITORIAL LEGISLATURE
ALMOST EVENLY DIVIDED
According to the election returns so far
received, and which it is not believed the
belated returns will change, the make-up
of the next territorial legislature will be
as follows:
Senate
First Division—Charles A. Sulzer (Dem.,
J. R. Heckman (Rep.).
Second Division—Frank A. Aldrich
(Dem.), John Sundback (Rep.).
Third Division—John Ronan (Dem.), 0.
P. Hubbard (Prog.).
Fourth Division—O. P. Gaustad (Rep.),
Dan Sutherland (Rep.).
House
First Division—W. W. Casey (Dem.),
John G. Heid (Rep.), Monte Benson
(Rep.), James Freeburn (Rep.).
Second Division—J. P. Daly (Dem.), A.
A. Allen (Rep.), Nate Coombs (Rep.), T.
M. Reed (Rep.).
Third Division—Frank B. Cannon
(Dem.), T. H. Holland (Dem.), T. M.
Price (Dem.), Joseph Murray (Rep.).
Fourth Division—W. T. Burns (Dem.),
L. C. Hess (Dem.), C. K. Snow (Ind.),
Andrew Nerland (Rep.).
The membership of the senate is thus
made up of four Republicans, three Demo
crats and one Progressive. In the house
there will be seven Democrats, eight Re
publicans and one Independent.
The position of O. P. Hubbard in the
senate and C. K. Snow in the house will
be one of much responsibility, as each will
in a measure hold the balance of power
between the two old parties on questions
where there is a division along party lines.

HENRY GEORGE PASSES AWAY
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.—Henry George,
Jr., former congressman from New York,
writer on political economy and newspaper
man, died at his home in this city today,
in his 64th year._ _
Job Printing at The Pioneer office.
51 WIDOW WILL NEVER KNOW
11 WHO RECEIVED THE JEWEL!
Assume, or try to assume, ladies, the men
tal attitude of Mrs. Charles I. Hills of Eliza
beth, N. J., says the New York World. Hei
husband, president of an electrical manu
facturing company of this city, died in April
1915, leaving her an estate of about 1500,
I 000. About a month ago Mrs. Hills, tidying
up some precious possessions in her home a'
. Elizabeth, became fascinated in the perusa
of a stack of canceled checks among hei
husband’s effects. Two of these check.
seemed to stand out from the others. Each
was for $2,475, each was dated December 1
1914, and each was made out to the firm oi
Cartier of No. 712 Fifth avenue, Manhattan,
Mrs. Hills, wondering on what her hus
band had laid out $4,950 three weeks or so
before Christmas, peeped into the directory.
She saw Cartier’s place was definitely and
exclusively identified with the sale of jew
dry. And as Mrs. Hills had not, on or
about Dcember 1, 1914, or December 25,
1915, or on any day thereabouts, received
anything hke any of Cartier’s wares, she
was seized with a whimsical desire to find
out who had received the equipment.
bo, to put the matter under the legal
X-ray, she visited Edward Maxson, lawyer,
asking him to go into the thing end dig it
all out, or up. Mr. Maxson began proceed
ings through Surrogate Fowler to have Car
tier, or somebody from that place, disclose
what it was that Mr. Hills bought $4,950
of, and to whom that, whatever it was,
was sent.
Surrogate Cohalan, to whom the matter
was transferred, heard argument on the
“petition for discovery.” After Maxson had
spoken, the attorney for Cartier, who was
accompanied by Victor Dautiemon, man
ager of the concern, declared it would be
against public policy to reveal such facts.
“This is a reputable concern, of the class
of other prominent establishments,” said
the attorney. In closing his argument the
Cartier counsel said no first-class jewellers
asked their patrons to explain their pur
chases.
“It might interfere with the sales,” re
marked the surrogate, who, when the at
torneys had finished, dismissed the proceed
ing on the ground that the transaction had
been closed prior to Mr. Hills' death, and
that there was no further justfieation for
ordering Cartier to open the books.
HIGH COST OF PRINT PAPER
BRINGS WOE TO “AUTHORS”
The newspaper? of this and other sec
tions are not the only sufferers from the
tremendous increase in the price of print
paper, and we are now threatened with a
dearth of the popular novel known as the
“thriller,” or paper-back novel. A writer
in the New York Tribune thus chronicles
the tragedy in the life of the literary genius
who has so long furnished the reading
matter of messenger boys and servant’
girls:
“Picture the author of ‘The Perils of
Broadway; -or, Florette, the Beautiful Cab
aret Singer,' toasting his feet before the
radiator in his flat and scribbling away at
a cent and a half a word.
“ ‘It was a fight to the death,’ comes red
hot from his gore-dripping fountain pen.
Thrusting the girl behind him, Jack Thorn
ton faced the oncoming band with a stern,
set face. A perilous gleam flashed from his
keen eyes. His extended right hand gripped
a menacing revolver without a tremor. An
other moment and they were upon him.
Two shots cracked sharply on the still
night air’
“And just then the telephone bell rings.
The sharp voice of the author’s publisher
rudely interrupts Jack Thornton’s fight for
life.
“’Say, you'll have to cut that stuff
short!’ he commands. ‘The price of print
paper's just shot up another 10 per cent, and
we'll have to hold this yarn in a hundred
pages. And we’ll lose money on it at that.
Marry ’em or kill ’em in the next chapter
and wind it up. And, say, by the way, we
won’t want any more stuff from you. We’re
going to cut out publishing your line. The
price of paper’s gone so high we can't make
c.ny money on cheap fiction.'
“Sadly the author returns to his scrib
bling, kills off Jack Thornton’s enemies
with three more shots, throw's the marriage
halter over Jack and Florette, writes ‘Finis’
and goes uot to look for a job.”
