A big story ou home rule for Alas
ka in the Literary Digest of August
21st., has a local interest The story
strongly favoring Alaska’s plea for
self-government, is made up chiefly
from editorial comment by big Out
side newspapers that run their Alaska
news under a Seward date line.
This Literary Digest review will
call to mind a story known to many
Alaskans. About three years ago John
W. Frame, then living in Valdez, tfas
asked by a prominent Federal official:
“Who is this Thomas B. Drayton over
in Seward that's yelling his head off
against bureau government all the
time?"
“I never met him,” replied Frame,
“but I’m reading a lot of his stuff,
and 1 can tell you one thing you can
gamble on. If you fellows don’t stop
his pen he’ll bust your conservation
policy wide open, and drive th^las^
bureaucratic official out of Alaska in
five years.”
This prediction may be on the
point of realization.
The John Noon trip to Washington
City is a Drayton scheme intended to
center the attention of the people of
the United States on Alaska. It was
first suggested in a letter to the Sew
ard Chamber of*Commorce by Mr.
Drayton, and is being carried out
throughout Alaska in accordance with

PERFECTS AIRBRAKE FOR
AEROPLANES— LIFE SAVER ;
PORTLAND, Ore., Sept., 3— J! R.
Anderson, of this city has invented |
an airbrake for airplanes, which he
says, will assist materially in saving
lives, since it will enable machines to
land in a small space. The brake con
sists of an auxilliary propeller in a
tube conforming with the angle of the
wings.
One of the principal values of the
brake pointed out by Mr. Anderson j
is that the two engines are used and
that if one goes dead the other will
keep on running. The inventpr, w*10
has been interested in airplane^ since
1903, hit upon the idea of the brake
when he was experimenting to dis
cover a way to save airplanes in nose

The bi-ake will stabilize a plane in
stormy weather, Mr. Anderson ex
plains, and enable the aviator to
keep the machine under control at
all times. The low landing speed will
make it possible to land with safety
even on roofs of buildings prepared
for this purpose, he says.
Mr. Anderson is planning to build
a four-passenger machine soon for
the special purpose of showing vis
itors the mountains and scenery of
the state. This machine will be
equipped with his new airbrake. Hp

DUCHESS OFFERS HAND
* \
TO JILTED CANADIAN
SYDNEY, N. S., Aug., 11— Resi
dents of this city are beginning to
wonder whether it is in order to
pity Capt. Thomas Kitchen, the Can
adian Field Artillery officer whose
fiancee, Miss A. Butler of Man
chester, England, transferred her af
fections to Lieut T. Miller while
enroute to Halifax to marry the
Captain. .
Following the publicity which has
been given the broken engagement,
Capt. Kitchen has received many
letters, mostly English women, in
which the writer offers her own
hand to the captain by way of con
solation for the loss of Miss Butler.
r
Among those who offer to come
to Sydney, and become Mrs. Capt.
Kitchen is a young duchess, Capt.
Kitchen says. She has written ex
pressing her sympathy and volun
teered to come at once if the gallant
Canadian will have her.
Capt. Kitchen would not tell the
name of the duchess or say whether
she was a noblewoman in her own
right or the divorced or widowed
wife of some high ranking peer.
