A young man of travelling
propensities arrived in town dur-!
ing the week from Alabama via
Seattle. He made Petersburg on
a halibut boat. The young man
has considerable of the pioneer
ing spirit in that he hopes to get
transportation to Skagway and
then he plans to go in to the
Yukon River which he will trav
el down on a raft. He hopes to
take up a homestead somewhere
in the interior and rather is of
the impression that the trans
portation companies should be
willing to give at least transpor
tation assistance to prospective
settlers. There have been worse
prospective citizens than this
come to Alaska and given con
siderable more assistance than
he is asking. Any man with
gumption enough to hike from
Alabama to Seattle and then
plan to drift down the Yukon in
the hope of making something
out of homesteading has that
something which has built up
■ empires. But the odds are
! against him—and it has always
been thus.

NEW LIBERTY PARTY
ENTERS BATTLE LISTS
The new “Liberty Party” has

held with nomination of candi
' dates for President and vice
president.
Acceptance has been received
from the presidential nominee
Frank Elbridge Webb of Cali

a march of unemployed on the
national capital. Coxey favors
campaigning on only one issue,!
inflation of currency. Others j
. whose names were placed befoe

' tial nomination were Senator
Smith W. Brookhart, Iowa, Re
publican, recently defeated for
rf nomination by Henry Field,
and Norman Thomas, New York
Socialist.
Convention leaders said the i
new party fused together six
organizations—the old Liberty,
Farmer-Labor, Progressive and
Socialist Parties and the Mone
tary League and the Farmer’s
Union. Boland Bruner, Kansas
City, chairman and national
committeeman, has called a
meeting of the national commit
tee in Kansas City, August 30.

TOURING CAR IS
ORDERED FORFEITED
Federal Judge Jeremiah Net
erer, Seattle ordered forfeited a
touring car seized last October
by federal prohibition agents
when they arrested Sid Green,
former Olmstead case defendant
and found several cases of liquor
! in the car.
Green was given a five-year,
suspended sentence and recently
Jeffrey Heiman, assistant Unit
ed States attorney, argued for !
the forfeiture of the automoble.
Attorneys for a Seattle auto
mobile company that sold the
car to Green on installments re
sisted the forfeiture on the
ground that they were innocent
of any law violations, but Judge
Neterer held that it was the
duty of all sellers of automobles
to investigate the character of
purchasers.
