I,air,
WASHINGTON, Feb. i8.-The adminis
tration Alaskan railroad bit, authorizing
the president to construct n 133,000,000
railroad from Alaska's coaet to Its great
coal fields was pasned by the house late
today by n voto of 230 to 87.
A similar measure already has passed
tho senate and tho bills will bo taken up
at once In conference between tho two
houses, with a view to sending It to the
president, who has signified his intention
of signing It.
At the eleventh hour, after a sharp par
liamentary skirmish, tho hotao eliminated
from tho bill, as reported by tho terrl
torlcs committee, a provision authorizing
a bond Issue of 135,000,000 to finance the
railroad and to bo paid off by tho pro
ceeds of government land salcb In Alaska.
Tho scnato bill provided for a 140,710,000
bond issue. Representative Fitzgerald ot
New York led a fight which resulted in
striking out tho bond provision.
Under tho amended measure the project
would bo financed out of the current
funds In tho treasury, the president being
limited to 133,000,000 and U,000,W being
appropriated for Immediate expenses.
Congretts would appropriate' each year
tho amount estimated to be necessary for
the construction of tho road.
Tho bill provides for tho construction
of a road "not to exceed 1,000 miles, to
be so located as to connect one or moro
ot tho open Pacific ocean harbors on tho
southern coast of Alaska with tho navi
gable waters in the Interior of Alaska and
with a coat field or fields yielding coal
sufficient in quality and quantity for
naval uso so as to best aid In tho de

j Franske, Pierce, was re-elected socre-
tary-treasurer and Frank A. Hannls,
York, was elected vice president. Has
tings was chosen as tho next meeting
place of tho convention.
Fraudulent advertising was condemned
by tho Jewelers, and a resolution was
adopted Instructing the secretary to
communicate with the periodicals that
have been publishing what tho Jewelers
declare to be a fraudulent advertisement
ot a watch caso concern in the east.
"Always remember that tho liar In the
Jewelry store Is on ho outside of tho
counter every time," said Colonel John
L. Shepherd of New York In his address.
"Bear in mind that tho liar Is on tho
outsldo of the counter, for if ho is be
hind tho counter your business will not
last long. You cannot do business nnd
continue to lie to your customers."
Keen the Liar Ontililr.
Colonel Shepherd talked of the matter
oi pneo cutting and urged tho Jewelers
to stand by ono another and not cut
prices to try to run each other out of
business. Also ho urged that they Join
their local associations and the state and
national associations In order to be ;n
touch with tho latest In their lino ot
work.
A. W. Anderson, national secretary,
also spoko on tho valuo of organization
work and urged greator efforts toward
organization and association work.
Jewelers Open Convention.
With nearly 100 members of tho craft
present yesterday, the ninth annual con
vention of the Nebraska Retail Jewelers'
association started off with a rush of
good things.
In his address of welcomo Mayor Dahl
man reminded tho visitors that the
charter of Omaha, wished on it by tho
stato legislature, prevented tho city from
raising more funds for tho various de
partments of government, including the
police force.
"On tho whole, Omaha Is a clean town,
nnd it has n, smaller police forco than
any other city of its size in tho United
States," ho said. "If you will tnko any
200 towns of a population of 1,000 each,
and comparo thorn with the city of
Omaha, you will find that thoy combined
have moro than twice as much crlmo
ob wo have here."
K. J. Nlewohncr of Columbus responded
to the welcomb in behalf of the Jewelers
and told them that ho always enjoyed
coming to Omaha for the meetings,.
which had been very successful hero.
President C. S. Clinton gave tho presi
dent's address, and outlined tho work uf
tho association and tho ambitions of tho
organization for the coming year.
Kd B. Fanske of Pierce, who has been
elected and re-elected secretary and
treasurer for many years,- made his 're
port, which- contained the usual good
showing. .
Newspaper Advertising Best.
J. Rlffe of Hastings d'rovV jsomo

"There's a Reason"

ing Merchandise." Ho advocated adver
tising as the first essential, and then
specified that tho majority of the mnney
spent for advertising should be fp-nt in
the local newspapers.
"No part of the Jewelry business ts to
neglected as tho advertising department
of the usual retail establishment," ho
said. "Tho Jeweler should advcrtl.o not
spasmodically or occasionally, but regu
larly and consistently. It Is through
their advertising departments that the
mall order houses are getting business
out of tho territory that really belongs
to the retail Jeweler."
A. D. Ackerman ot Falrbury In a
technical address told tho Jewelers of
the wireless timc-rccclving station which
he had established at his store.
"Tho wireless report Is nlways accu
rate, and we have no delays In getting

to know that the tlmo Is accurate, we
receive- It twice each day, and have tbe
opportunity to check our rending ten
times dally. The wltetess way Is the
only way," ho said.
Rev, Titus Lowe discussed "Jewelers
and Jewelers," laying particular empha
sis on tho fact that the, man who. was In
business for profit only could not sue-
ceed.
In the absence of R. L. Schumacher ot
