A FAC SIMILE LETTER FROM A TELEGRAPH OPERATOR.
E. S. Hewitt & Company, Chitina, Alaska, Nov. 11,1916.
Juneau, Alaska.
Dear Sirs:
Enclosed find check for $44.50 for balance due on my new “Silent Smith.”
I am well pleased with the machine. Find it to be just what you represented and better
than that, I have learned to like it and find it faster than the Underwood. I gave it a very good
test during the election. Took seventy-seven bulletins and all commercial work besides. I
will alwavs have a good word for the L. C. Smith hereafter. Very respectfully,
F. W. S.
Call at our office and inspect this high-grade typewriter and satisfy yourself that it is the best.

Are You Successful?
If you are not successful—who is to blame! You
notice all around you successful men—don’t
you ? Many of them have had no better oppor
tunities than you—some of them not as good.
The successful man avails himself of his oppor
tunities. The unsuccessful man does not. One
of the opportunities that make for success is a
Bank Account. Have you one at this Bank? Try
it for a year. The note the progress you have
made.
A Bank Account is the Ladder by which
many men have mounted to Success.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Members
of the next house face one of the most
uncertain organizations in the history
of the government.
With a few districts in doubt, the
republicans have a plurality and a
possible majority of two or three
when it is figured that an independent
elected in Massachusetts and a pro
gressive elected in Minnesota prob
ably will vote with them for organiz
ation purposes. Independence of ac
tion has characterized a number of the
re-elected members on the republican
side, however, and their attitude to
ward democratic legislation in the last
few years has given democratic lead
ers cause for hope that some of them
might carry their independence into
the organization of the next house.
While there might be a few changes
when the official returns are counted,
the chances are that these would not
materially alter the general result. In i
view of this, democratic leaders re-1
gard it improbable that President Wii- j
son will call an extra session of the |
new congress next spring. Consequent
ly the organization fight will not come
until the regular session December,
1917.
Mann in Line tor Speaker.
As matters stand the candidate of i
the republicans for-speaker is James
R. Mann, of IllioniS, minority leader.
Speaker Clark is generally regarded
as the democratic choice to succeed
himself. Already, however, there are
rumblings of uncertainty because of
the close division.
' On the republican side there are re
; ports of disffections against the mi
! nority leader. Consequently there is
i gossip among some republicans re
i garding the advisability of nominat
j ing someother party member than
! Mann as candidate for speaker.
There are certain to be some inter
i esting and lively party conferences on
! both sides before any organization
I plans are finally launched. As the
democrats apparently will be in the
minority, some of the friends of
| Champ Clark are not certain that he
i will be a candidate to succeed himself.
Unless he can be elected speaker they
prefer that he abandon that race and
become a candidate for minority lead
er, the post he held for many years be
fore democratic ascendency in 1912.
The congressional contest in New
; Mexico is doubtful, the chances now
I favoring the democrats. In Pennsyl
' vania there are two districts and pos
; sibly three, where the soldier vote,
, cast on the border, when counted, may
' change the results. In two of these
republicans, and in one, a democrat,
I have been elected by small majorities
; on the face of the returns reported. In
; the Tenth North Carolina district,
j Britt, a republican, is claiming elec
I tion over Weaver, democrat, by thir
I teen majority.
Chairmen of Committees.
In the event of organization of the
house by the republicans the majority
leadership under seniority rule would
go to Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan,
■j who automatically would become
chairman of the ways and means
i committee. Among the republican
, members of that important commit
, tee which would have charge of tariff
: revision would be Representative Eb
enezer J. Hill, of Connecticut; Long
worth, of Ohio; Gardner, of Massa
chusetts; Moore, of Pennsylvania;
Green, of Iowa, and Fairchild, of New
j York.
Representative Gillett, of Massa
! chusetts, probably will succeed Fitz
gerald, of New York, as chairman of
i the appropriations committee, and
1 with Gillett in control of this com
! mittee would be former -Speaker Can
non, of Illinois, and Representatm
Slemp, of Virginia; Good, of Iowa;
Mondell, Wyoming; Vere, of Pennsyl
vania, and Davis, of Minnesota.
Among other important probable
changes would be Hayes of California,
to succeed Glass, of Virginia, as chair
man of banking and currency; Cooper,
of Wisconsin, for Flood, of Virginia,
on foreign affairs; Esch, of Wisconsin,
for Adamson, of Georgia, on inter
state and foreign commerce; Volstead
of Minnesota, for Webb, of North Car
olina, on judiciary; Albert Johnson, of
Washington, for Burnett, of Alabama,
on immigration; Kahn, of California,
for Dent, of Alabama, on military af
fairs; Butler, of Pennsylvania, for
Padgett, of Tennessee, on naval af
fairs; Greene, of Massachusetts, for
Alexander, of Missouri, on merchant
marine; Steenerson, of Minnesota, for
Moon, of Tennessee, on postoffice;
Lenroot, "of Wisconsin, for Ferris, of
Oklahoma, on public lands, and Camp
bell, of Kansas, for H^nry, of Texas,
on rules.
Cannot Control Legislation.
Whatever happens republicans can
not control legislation in the next con
gress because the senate will be demo
cratic by a safe working majority of
twelve.
Important legislation which is to be
pushed as soon as congress convenes
in December includes immigration re
form, a corrupt practice law further
to limit political campaign expendi
tures, conservation and water power
legislation, revision of the laws atfeci
ing railroads, a vocational educational
law, a law to permit organization of
collective selling agencies to do busi
ness in foreign countries and further
measures to perfect the national de
fense.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Brilliant Program Tonight—Thrilling
Drama Sunday and Monday.
It would be idle to enter into a de
tailed description of the varied and
exceedingly wholesome supply of fun
and the more serious side provided
for the Empress theatre patrons this
Saturday evening. Suffice to say,
that you will not leave the cosy and
comfortable Empress dissatisfied in
the least. Seven reels of motion pic
tures will be on the program tonight.
Not too much of one, but just enough
of each one presented to make up a
very enjoyable program.
Sunday and Monday December 10
and 11, H. B. Warner in his original
role in the thrilling drama “The
Ghost Breaker,” Pathe News present
ing instructive and interesting feat
ures, and a comedy to delight every
body are the features the Empress
will offer.
“The Ghost Breaker,” with H. B..
Warner in the title role, is one of the
strongest plays of this kind ever pro
duced. It is a tremendous story—red
blooded and vigorous, with Warner in
some remarkable characterizations. In
fact, it is conceded to be one of the
best photodramas produced by the
Lasky Paramount Picture corporation.
