It is understood, also, that he will able to get the Indiana delegation that it is proposed to have. instructed for Senator Watson, when the proper time:arrives. Speaker Longworth refuses to throw his hat into the ring, apparently await- ing for a deadlock and his selection com- promise. The complicated situation has resulted in a lot of talk about finally drafting President Cool- idge to run again. Senator Fess #inks it will be necessary for the President to make his fusal to run a lot plainer than he did at Rapid City if he really wants to avoid the nomination. Former Senator Camercn of Arizona has declarad that ‘the Arizona -delegation will favor the re- * nomination of the President despite’ his* declara- tion. Congressman Willlam R. Wood of Indiana, says he thinks Mr. Coolidge will be renominated. Former Congressman and former Presidential Pri- vate Secretary Bascom Slemp, who usually con- trols more Southern delegates in a Republican Convention than anyone, agrees that the Presi- dent will finally be renominated. However, the people of the country, generally, seem to take it for granted that someone else than President Coolidge will be nominated, and they are picking their choices from among others. ‘While unorganized, there seems to be more people for Mr. Hoover than for any one else—with the possible exception of Gov. Lowden. The East is divided between him and Mr. Hughes, and each, apparently, is the' second choice of those who are for the other as first choice.

It is very easy for the organizers of women's _elubs or associations to pretend to speak for the * millions of women in the country, but when Jdndividual women get a chance they show that each woman speaks for herself. Witness the fact that a Denver convention of 1,200 delegates, “most of whom were women,” voted by more than two to one for the modification of the Vol- stead Act. Likewise the preacher politicians who pre- tend to speak for the millions of church members in the country are very likely to discover that they speak only for themselves when the time comes to do the counting. It will be discovered that those who are in favor of changing the intolerable conditions that exist under the Vol- stead Act inclue a large percentage of those of all creeds and sections and races as well as those of both sexes, IRISH CARICATURES ON THE SCREEN.

Her third novel, “The Trail Eater,” a story of the dog racing da in Nome, was finished in July and will be a spring publication of Putnam’s. The pretty blond young woman. spending a few dags with her mother has just come from two months stern Alaska and a She was on Alask who s in Seattle wandering over trip up the Stikine River. etting material there for a travel book that she is writing for the Century Company. Miss Willoughby as the only promin- ent native Alaskan fiction writer, is eminently fitted to write an unusual travel book of her native land. i “I would like time, but I've friends here, get to work., it's hard to stay in Seattle for a only a few days to see all my Then to Southern California to 1 write every day from 9 to 4, and work. One can’t make one's living writing if one waits for inspiration,” she said. “I usually rent a little court apartment some- where, and stay there until I'm lonesome and unhappy. And when I'm lonesome and unhappy in Southern California——that's when I write best about my beloved Alaska." Miss Willoughby, or rather, Barrett Wil- loughby, for her publishers advised her to take a man’'s name for her work, was born on her fath- er's tradnig schooner in the Arctic. She grew up in Alaska. She married there and was widow- during the war. When she found that she would have to make her living she decided to write a book. Borrowing a little money, she went to San Francisco to live with two girls who held jobs there. When she had finished fourteen chapters of her first ndvel her money gave out. She had exactly fourteen dollars and no prospects. She answered a blind newspaper advertisement that said merely “Literary Man Would Like Secre- tary.” Taking it for granted she would get the job, she spent ten of her fourteen dollars fo1 a one-ounce bottle of Coty's Jacquemont rose per- fume. That day Frederick O'Brien called on her and engaged her to help him work over the manu- scrips of his South Sea stories, then at the height of their popularity. After eighteen months as Mr. O'Brien’s sec- retary, the Alaska girl became desperately home- sick for the Land Where the Sun Swings North, and one day she read Rockwell Kent's illustrated Alaskan book, “‘Wilderness,” She wrote a sad little letter to Mr. Kent telling him how much his book had meant to her, yearning for Alaska in San Francisco. Mr. Kent forwarded her let- ter to his publisher, George Palmer Putnam, and Mr. Putnam wrote Miss Willoughby asking her to write him something about Alaska. She worked over her fourteen chapters writ- ten before starvation threatened her, and that became her first novel, “When the Sun Swings North.” long Big Missouri Saie Pleases Hyder. (Hyder Herald.) Official confirmation of the reports of the taking over of the Big Missouri by the Con- solidated Mining and Smelting Company was received in local mining and business circles with a satisfaction amounting almost to Scarcely a person in the district but considers the entrance of the Consolidated, into the local field as portending the inauguration of a new era in local mining development. The Con- solidated Company is conceded to be one of the most powerful mining organizations in existence and mining knowledge to place the Big Missouri on a commercial basis with the least possible delay. Backed by resources of such magnitude, there appears every reasonable expectation that the mine will be brought into production as soon as it can be done. Consideration of the great ore resources known to exist on the Big Missouri also suggests the possibility that the property may speedily become the distriet’s leading producer) and one' of the world’s greatest mines. A development of such character will not only tend to attract additional capital to the district but will also result in a marked increase in labor employment and resultant enlarged fields for business enterprise. Comstruction of a rail transportation system between Hyder and the up- per Salmon Basin is also a mot improbable even- tuality if the company’'s operations prove as suc- cessful as present evidences indicate they will be.
