of horror on the world.”
Another new possibility was sug
gested to me by a professor of psy
chology. His contention is that Wil
helm the Damned’s conscience will
provide for more just punishment for
him than any fate that can be forced
on him by extreme measures.
His plan is to bring the ex-kaiser
before a court which would be in con
tinuus session for a year or more.
Kacn day during this period "Couni
Hohenzollem would bo placed on tin*
stand, to be cross-examined on his
crimes.
He would bo tried on a large num
ber of counts, and each indictment
would go thoroughly into the history
of some one of his crimes. Thus, all
his heinious offenses would pa rad'*
themselves constantly before his men
tal vision. He would be permitted to
think of nothing else. His sleep would
be troubled by visions of the victim <
of his brutal submarines, shrieking
maledictions on his head.
Nothing in the most creeping V
Kdgar Allen Poo’s horror tales could
equal the mental torment of VVilliai i
Hohenzollern under such a vigorous
campaign to break down his moral \
Put the chief objection to the plan
is that it would probably make of him
a raving maniac - and maniocs a
not capable of suffering.
Still another suggestion heard ho o
;s that of a court-martial headed hv
Marshal Koch to try the ex-kaiser on
the battlefield of his crimes.
Hut again the objection is heard
that a court-martial would in all pro
bability o del* him “shot at sunriso”
and ev none agrees that shooting i
too pvnl for Pill Hohenzollern.

Rev. Cook touched briefly upon the
coming of Mr. Sauers to Alaska, In
activity, and in closing offered a
prayer for the bereaved ones here and
in the states, mourning the death.
Following the discourse, the choii
gave “Abide with me,” and those who
cared were allowed to review the re
mains.
As the casket was borne from the
church, the choir sang “Nearer my
Sod. to Thee.”
The body was taken to the Odd
Fellows Hall, where it will remain ...1
til taken to the steamer which will
take it to Seattle where interment
will take place.
The special choir at the church was
composed of Mrs. F. K. Towle, Mrs.

Mrs. Orlander, organist.
BORGEN COMING NORTH
Gus Rorjren will return to Seward
leaving Seattle on the Alameda which
is scheduled to sail January 6th. It i.«
very probably that he will take over
the Seward Commercial Company. Mr.
Connelly, father of Mrs. Sauers, and
Mr;. Hopper , a sister, will also come
to Sowar.* on the Alameda.

fact about the time Mr. Sauers carp *
to Se\s an I, has been found and give.,
the following interesting account:—
One of the* most important e*nt< r
prises yet undertaken in the great *p
/elopment of Central Alaska is the e -
tablishmcut by some* prominent So;* . -
ile* penple of a chain e>f lumber yai is
along the* line* of the* Alaska Central
• tailv.av, now in process of construct
! ion.
For some time past the Stimsou
Lumber Company has had a mill i t
Yakutat which has been supplying the
•ontiguous country with such man",
faetuied lumber as it has needed, but
now comes a ileal between the Ala
,<a Central road and Fred Stimsoi,.
»nc ol its directors, who is also i <
,vide|\ known local lumberman, whev
-by it is proposed to anticipate ever.,
iced of prospective settlers along tie
scenic route in the way of lumber fo
building and other purposes.
In a tew clays William M. Sauers, j
.vho for the past seven years has bee i
ihe estimate!’ and general city man
for the Stetson- Post Mill Company
vill leave for Seward, Alaska, when
e will establish a lumber yard fo
he i.ew syndicate. At about the sam
imo Sauers leaves on this mission.
liiprr.cnl of 700,000 feet of lumber
vill be sent north to stock the yard
:t that progressive town. W'hen ov
•rvthing is gotten in proper sha|
here, Sauer will come back as far m
Kayak and open a lumber yard i”
hat town. This accomplished, he w:
porceed to Lake Kanai, on the line c ,
the Alaska Central, and open :t :
'arge yard, continuing the performan
•e .it each important town site unt !
i complete chain of thoroughly stock
• *d and admirably equipped lumbe
.•nr. Is is established along the enti
length of the road as fast as the l»n** 1
is constructed. It is expected that h
April 15th the Seward will be in foil
>rder and the Kayak yard started • i :
time for the early spring rush into
that section.
The establishment of these yards to j
keep pace with the progress of th< !
road will enable settle*a to build com- j
Portable homes for themselves j
through out the entire district travel - !
;edby the railway and will undoubt
edly lead to a veritable boom for ev
ery townsite on the line. It will be a
most promising field for contractor1
prospectors, merchants and investors
and will he a very material factor in
'he development of the country' - and
all this means more business and !
greater progress for Seattle, the gate-!
way to all Alaska.
Mr. Sauers, who has been selected
as the general manager for this ini * j
portant enterprise, is one of the he.d
known business men of this city, hav- ;
:ng heen long identified with local
commercial interests and being one of
the most export and popular lumber- j
men on the Coast. His being entrusted !
with the impoitant work of establish
ing and superintending these various
yards in what is deemed the most fer
tile and promising districts in all
Alu. ka, is not only a pleasing recog
nition of his marked abilities, but
lemor.strates the faith of local cap
italists in the future of that great
country. But the plans he is to work
out are really of greater significance
than that- they show that the Alas -
ka Central Railroad means business;
that s is not a paper corporation, con
ceived in graft and born of hot air,
but a bona fide, wide-awake enter
prize, started by Seattle men with
Seattle capital and imbued with Seat
tle progressiveness. All of which
means it is endowned with the Seat
tle spirit- and that insures success of
the highest order.
