Washington. Dec. 6 ? Attorney I
General Wickersham issued the
statement this morning that the
merger of the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific railroad companies
must be dissolved within the next
three months It is evident that
the Attorney General means what
he says and will stand no further
evasion of the order brought under
the terms of the Sherman anti-trust
law* A recent meeting of the di- j
rectors of the companies was held
at which time it was announced
'hat no decision could be arrived at
for the dessolution of the merger.
TAKPS APPOINTMENTS
TO BK HKLD IP
Washington, Dec. 6 ? From pres
ent indications It looks as though
President Taft is going to have some
difficulty in getting any of his ap
pointments confirmed. The demo
crats are gathering all their strength
for the purpose of heading off all
republican confirmations until after
the close of this session of con
gress, when they will step In and
put the democrats in charge of af
fairs all along the line.
This Is a play of politics which
has worked both ways In the past, i
and will continue to work as long
as politicians and not statesmen
are in control of congress.

A Ranchers Home.
Today's daily photograph shows our sister city of Haines and Fort William Henry Seward, situated in
one of the most picturesque spots of Alaska; also a ranch scene. representative of many in this garden of
fertility. Immediately in the background is the mouth of the Chilcat river and beyond is the celebrated
Davidson glacier.
Haines is known as the home of (he strawberry, the luscious fruit growing as large as hens' eggs
and coming into market long after the season in other parts of tb<_ country Is closed. B?ck of this
city are vast valleys of rich soil, and still back are the famous copper and gold deposits. This Is one
of the gateways to the interior, through which a railroad is some day to bring out the riches of the Yu
kon and Interior Alaska.
Mrs. Frank Wilson and son Har
old arrived from the south on the
Spokane and left this morning for
their homes in Whltohorse. The
young man has been below for medi
cal attention.
