FORD DELEGATES
I_
STOCKHOLM. Jan. 26. — Most of
the Ford peace party delegates have
returned to their homes across the
water. The working committee of the
expedition is still here, and today
leading members stated that it was
their intention to remain here and
work for peace. It was said that the
committee would not return to the
United States until peace negitiatlons
had been actually commenced, and the
end of the conflict in sight.

RETURNED TO LAND SUNSHINE
AND BLIZZARD FOLLOWS.
Our old friend. John T. Reed, chief
jBeputy clerk of the United States dis
trict court in the First division, re
turned to Juneau last week after a
seven weeks' trip to California, where
he said they had a snowstorm that
would put an Alaska storm to the
blush, and he was unable to keep
warm. No sooner had he become
coihfortably settled at Juneau than
a cold wave sfruck that place. The
joke is certainly on John T., and he
now no uoubt feels that “there ain't
no such thing as sunshine."

western, of the Alaska Steamship t o.
arrived in port from the westward. As
she came up the channel the vessel
looked for all the world like a giant
iceberg, only the smoke curling from
her funnels dimming the illusion.

er" encountered on the voyage from
Prince William Sound, hut t aptain
Klein, pilot on the vessel, said this
morning that only the good seaman
ship of Captain O'Brien brought the
vessel through. “It's pretty hard to
tell where we would have bern if
Captain O'Brien had not been the
skilled sailor that he is." Captain
Klein said.
The Northwestern hit the gale, a
tremendous northeastern, just after
rounding Cape SI. F.lias, after leaving

GAME WARDEN9 IN ALASKA ARE
SOME PUMPKINS.
Several persons have protested that
game wardens in Alaska have no an
thority to search a boat, house or a
cabin. Such persons are laboring un
der a false belief, and those who are
j ignorant will do well to read the fol
lowing excerpt from Section 36. which
in part says:
“Any marshal, deputy marshal or
warden, in or out of ATaskn may ar
rest with or without violating any ol
the provisions of this act or any ol
the regulations herein provided, and
may seize any game, birds or hides]
and anytraps, nets, guns or other
paraphernalia used in the capture ol
such game or birds, found in his pos
session in or out of Alaska.”

MAKING EFFORT
TO PROTECT
WASHINGTON. Jan. L’6. •— Ad
vices have been received by the con
fidential agents of the state depart
ment in Mexico which tend to sub
stantiate the reassuring statements
given out by Carranza as to his ef
forts to protect foreigners and the
property of foreign investors. Ac
cording to the information received
Carranza is taking vigorous steps to
stamp out the brigandage and guerii
la warfare being indulged in by the
scattered bands of Villlaists. The
acts of the Mexican president testify
to his sincerity in his efforts to meet
the demands of the American govern
ment for adequate protection.
