Any bright boy with 1 a bit of patience and some energy , can earn a few dollars and aid a | worthy purpose by capturing some of 1 these birds. It is a simple manner . to catch them, once the idea is made ' plain. First, choose a spit where ' crows congregate, near underbrush > or some other place of ambush. Get ! a box or crate large enough for the [ purpose. Set this box with one edge > leaning on a stick a few inches from , the ground. Tie a string to the stick J and lead the string to the ambush. ? After making all of these prepara , tions scatter food around the place. In a day or so the birds, usually sus ' picious will become accustmoed to the ' appearance of things at the feeding ground and walk into the trap. All that is then necessary is to pull the string. Care should be taken in re moving from the trap not to allow an escape and to preserve from injury. FEMMER & RITTER See this firm for all kinds of dray mg and hauling.

A MEMBER-ELECT FROM ARCTIC CIRCLE Valdez, Feb. 14. -Charles Kennedy, the representative ol' the Candle dis trict, the most northerly elected rep resentative on the American conti nent arrived in Valdez last night, com pleting the overland section of a 2,000 mile trip to the capital of the terri tory. Representative Kennedy left his home in Candle, which is within 30 miles of the Arctic Circle, on January Oth, crossing the Seward peninsula to Raid Head, on Norton bay, at which place he joined the other representa tives of the Second Division, who had left Nome two days before he left Candle. .Mr. Kennedy is a Republican, as are also the other three representa tives of the Second Division, but, he says, that this is the time to forget party lines and remember that we are all Alaskans and must work together for the good of the territory, which has been held back by bad laws, and the lack of progressiveness, which will tend to open up the resources of the territory Representative Kennedy is a miner and operator on Candle creek and has been a resident of Alaska since 1897. The dog team which he used on the trip will be taken to Juneau and at the opening of navigation will be sent to Nome on one of the first boats. The distance from Candle to Valdez is 1.300 miles. The other members of the Nome delegation are due in Valdez now. Thomas Gaffney, Conrad Freoding and Frank Aldridge were at Copper Cen ter last night. They are coming on a dog express. Dan Sutherland and Red McConnell are coming in a cut ter and Mayor Driscoll, Henry Roden and Representative Collins are on the stage. 4 ?

Wood, formerly in business here and at Cordova, where he conducted a mov ing picture business, may be the next j U. S. marshal for this division. Robert Ferguson, the Valdez mer chant, is also a candidate for the po sition and.has the support of Champ Clark, with whom he has had a long personal friendship, and who will re quest the appointment of Mr. Fergu son as as soon as President-elect Wil son takes office. F. R. Brennemen, of Katalla, a dep uty marshal under Marshal Sullivan, will be a candidate and claims the support of Vice-president Marshal. Mr. Brennemen has been a deputy marshal under the present administra tion for four years. Al. Dowling, of Valdez, also claims considerable backing both locally and from his former home in Boston. Ralph E. Oldham, of Sunrise, is al so a candidate, but the extent of his backing has not been disclosed. George Drelbelbus, of Seward, may land the plum, as he has the support the position, having the support of of several influential Senators. Cal. Brosious, of Seward, is after Governor Cox, of Ohio, and also some Pittsburgh influence, in which city he was born.
