WASHINGTON, March 4—The Six
* ty-third Congress, llrst under complete
domination of the Democratic party
since 1895, ended at noon today.
It has been In almost coptlnuous
session since President Wilson’s in
auguration two yenrs ago, beginning
with an extra session called by the
President April 7, 1913. Tht Con
gress has worked actually 637 days.
Much important legislation was ac
complished, but much contemplated,
some of It hard pressed by the Presi
. dent and party leaders, was left un
, done. It is the present intention of
E the President and his advisers to give
E Congress a rest. Rather than force
[ an extra session they would leave the
> remainder of the of the administra
E (ion’s constructive aspirations to a
E new congress next winter, which, al
[ though under Democratic control, will
> liaev a grently reduced majorlay in
■
> 'lie House.
>
' Foremost in the enactments of the
Sixty-third Congress were:
The Underwood-Simmons tariff act,
with the income tax, which replaced
(he Payne-Aldrich tariff law.
The Federal Reserve Act, reorgan
izing the currency system.
Anal-trust laws to supplement the
Sherman Act, including the Clayton
law and Federal Trade Commission
act, the former providing for punish
ment of individuals who violate bus
: iness regulations, and the latter es
tablishing n government institution
to aid in keeping business within the
law.
Repeal of the Panama Cannl tolls
exemption for American coastwise
shipping.
. Act directing the building at a coat
■ of $35,000,000 of a government rail
road to the mineral fields of Alaska.
Act to regulate cotton exchanges
and to penalize dealings in purely
speculative cotton future sales.
A special internal revenue tax, com
monly known as the “war tax."
A government war risk insurance
bureau to Insure American ships a
gainst the hazards of war, and an act
providing for the transfer of foreign
owned or built ships to American reg
istry.
Of those measures which failed oi
enactment or could nof be consider
ed for lack of time, the following arc
regarded by Democratic leaders as
’ paramount:
Bill for the government purchase 01
charter of trans-oceanic ships for the
establishment of an American mer
chant marine which encountered the
most stubborn filibuster In the his
tory of the senate, created an insur
gent movement in the Democratic
ranks and held up general legislatior
for weeks of the last session.
The immigration bill, including i
literacy test for admission of aliens
which passed both houses, was vetoee
by President Wilson and failed by :
»
narrow margin to repass the Hous<
on a motion to overturn the veto.
Conservation measures urged b:
the President to provide a new syc
tem of leasing water power sites am
a leasing system to open the miners
resources of the country.
Bill to enlarge the measure o
Philippine self-government and to e>
tend promise of ultimate independenc
to Filipino people, a measure whic
passed the House and was approve
by a Senate committee.
Regulation by the Inter-state Con
| merce Commission of the issue of rai
road securities, originally a part c
. the administration's anti-trust pr<
I gram.
Rural credits legislation contempla
3 plating a system of farm mortgng
| loan banks, persistently urged throug
out the congress.
In addition to the foregoing, score
of general legislative bills covering
wide range of subjects died with th
end of congress, among them mea
ures for federal road Improvement
general waterway development, reo
ganlzatlon of the civil service, to pn
hibit the importation of convict mad
goods, and several measures for r
organization of the army.
The hist session of the congrei
was notable, too, for the failure of tw
great Issues, National Prohibitl®
and Woman Suffrage, Proposed <v>
stltutlonal amendments precipitated
two of the most exciting legislative
battles in the history of the House
of Representatives, both measures fall
ing to receive the necessary two
thirds vote.
Foreign relations of the nation were
constantly to the fore almost from the
beginning of the Congress. The Mex
ican situation requiring clone attention
from the outset, as has the European
war. Throughout the session the
President and the Senate Foreign re
lations committee were in frequent
conferences and much was done to
restrain unusual demonstrations which
might have disturbed international
tranquility. Early in the session gen
eral arbitration treaties with several
great foreign powers were renewed
for five year periods and 20 peace
commission treaties providing for in
vestigation of international disputes
before resort to arms were negotiated
and ratified. A treaty to enforce the
regulations adopted by the London
Safety nt Sea conference was ratified
last December, but with an amend
ment making reservations which came
too late for other powers to con
sider, thus preventing enforcement of
the convention. A treaty with Nic
aragua providing for acquirement of
the Nicaraguan canal route and na
val stations for $3,000,000 was left
unratlfied by the Senate, and the pend
ing treaty with Colombia directing
payment of $25,000,000 for the Pana
ma canal strip was held in by the
Foreign Relations committee.
The closing session of the Congress
was almost wholly devoted to appro
priation bills, the ship purchase bill
fight, and a few general measures.
Aside from appropriations about the
only important legislative enactments
included the creation of the coast
guard by consolidation of the life
saving and revenue cutter services;
reclassification of the grades in the
diplomatic and consular s ervice; re
quirement of registration of and im
posing special taxes upon all dealers,
manufacturers or Importers of opium,
or its derivatives, and the creation of
the Rocky Mountain National Park
in Colorado.
Much debate on the condition of
national defenses enlivened the clos
ing session. Proposals for special in
vestigations of preparedness of the na
tion for war all failed. House naval
and military committees, however,
conducted public hearings on the sub
ject in connection with the military
supply bills.
The congress also was marked by
differences between Presidetn Wilson
and some Democratic Senntors over
patronage; a spirited contest over con
firmation of nominees for the Federal
Reserve Board; two successful fili
busters—one in the summer session
against the rivers and harbors appro
[ prlation bill, and the other a fight
t of Republican and Democratic allies
( against the ship purchase bill; an un
successful efTort in the Senate to es
r tablish cloture rule to limit pro
. longed debate; institution of a spec
1 ial inquiry into outside influences ex
1 erted against the ship purchase bill;
a general lobby investigation which
f extended for many months, and pro
. posals of an inquiry into senatorial
.. campaign contributions,
i With the fall of the gavel today
1 many Senators and Congressmen long
national figures passed into private
- life. Senators who retire are Root
I- of New York; Burton, Ohio; Perkins
f California; Thornton. Louisiana; Bris
i. tow, Kansas; Stephenson, Wisconsin;
Crawford, South Dakota; Camden
. Kentucky, and White, of Alabama

:i House to go to the Senate. Scores

s way to new members,

e H. It. Lincoln, who established out
t- of the first drug stores in Fairbanks
i, and was later connected with a drui
'• store in Valdez, was killed in an au

WHAT IS TRANSPIRING
OVER AT SEWARD
_ £
SEWARD, March 8T-I>eo Margules £
received a cable from Ed. Whlttemore S
S
at Seattle, In which Mr. Whlttemore :::
y
states that no one will be permitted £
at Ship Creek for the present except jji
those engaged in work connected with
the government railroad.
Tim Markham arrived here in a y
y
small boat after a rather bad exper- J
ience. He left Valdez for Middleton “
«■
Island some days ago and was blown
out of his course, so that he was two
days and two nights wandering about
in the wilderness of the ocean. He
arrived safe and sound.
T. R. Needham is on his way to Ju
neau, where Mrs. Needham is ill. L.
F. Shaw took over the management of
the Knlk News In the place of Mr.
Needham.
Fifty-nine names are now on the
list which Is to be sent to Washing
ton In the effort to secure employ
ment for the home people in the con- “
struetion of the railroad. It con- :■
tains only the names of people in the £•
immediate vicinity and several other
men could be secured In the outlying
parts of the district.
No less than four girls have writ- S
ten from Portland, Ore., to the Ma
sonic lodge In Seward about the op- g
portunltleR here for the starting of a g
manicure, hairdressing, etc., parlor, g
The ladies state that three of them g
are aged respectively 19, 22, and 24 g
years, which was rather thoughtful
on their part to prevent us from la
boring under a misapprehension.
While Alex Frazier waR on his way
to Seward, and at a point between
Glacier and Mile 71, he fell over an
embankment with his dog team and
is now laid up at the roadhouse with
Injuries whose character has not yet
been ascertained. The fall meant
going down a seventy-foot embank
ment, and then over a bluff about ten
feet high.

HAS NOT SEEN ONE
HER SEX IN 3 YEARS
- i
For three years Mrs. A. Van Our- j
ler has been the only woman on j
the middle fork of the Big Ohena j
river, and during that time she has j
never seen anybody but men, and but |
few of them. Mrs. Van Curler writes (
<
that another woman is to locate at <
Calmer creek, to act as cook for *
the camp there, and she is looking <
forward to the first visit with her new
neighbor. Not having seen a sister
of the fair sex for such a long time,
she fears that she will have Bsnge
stage fright and flee to the hills.
