At last Federal officials have inter
fered and prevented the sailing of YES
sells for the north overloaded with
goods and passengers for the north
west. The stoppage referred to took
place at Seattle where a schooner load
ed until her scuppers were awash was
refused clearance and her owners re-
quired to tighten her and provide for
her safety and that of her passengers.
Such action ought to have been taken
at San Francisco weeks ago, in the
case OF at least three overloaded yes
sells. 1t would seem then that there
is a law under which authority may
act in these cases. 1t has been as
sumed all along that while interfer-
ence as to the number of passengers
taken on is authorized, that there was
no provision under which a check
could be put upon freight overlooking.

The latest reliable news from the
Klondikers at Dyea and Skaguay is
that the would-be miners have seized
the White Pass trail, prohibited any
passage over it until it is bettered, and
that probably a thousand men have
gone TO work upon it to widen il, cour-
duroy its muddy places, and clear it of
many of its obstacles. This work, it

when the trail would be opened and

PIucking the Innocent.

his farm, but as q rule, he can take
care of himself, just as we'll as the

If I knew as much as some farmers, I

front of the hotel in little town about
thirty miles out east here, and began to
do a few tricks to draw a crowd.
After I'd made an egg disappear
and pulled few knots open for them.

show you a trick that nobody else on
earth has ever attempted. You see
my hat here? Well, We'll imagine for
the time bein' that it's a flower pot.
Out of this hat I'm goin' to make a
bush grow up, and when I've done that
I'll make every leaf on it turn into a

did! But say, do you know what come

THE YOSEMITE ROAD.

The Record Union" has already
ment ought to construct a good, easy
grade, permanent macadam or stone
road through it's reservations and to
them into the Yosemite Valley. These
reasons we think, are simply unan-
swerable. Instead Of wasting money
in buying old roads to convert into
good ones, would be uneconomic and
silly, the Government should lay out
valley, which is the heritage of all the
people, and which should be made ac-
cessible by them along the line of a
road owned and controlled by the
nation.
There are not wanting numerous pre-
cedents for such action. The Govern
ment has frequently followed out such
a policy as we have indicated. 1t be-
hooves the friends of good roads in
California to bend their energies to Sc
curing from the coming session of Con-
gress such legislation as will result in
the speedy construction Of the Govern
ment road into the valley
Aside from the inestimable benefits
the road would be to the people of the
whole country, it would stimulate the
local good road sentiment and give new
vitality to the cause, that has had so
much thought by rejecting people in
California. It is not necessary to re-
peat that which we have so often said
in these columns, that California will
not realize its higher development I'M
til there is established a general good
road system in the State. We will not
attain to that to which we look for
ward so longingly, while the means Of
communication and transportation
along country roads are so inadequate
and meager as at present. If we are
to expect the better settlement of the
State by the home seekers we so much
desire, we must give them reasonable
assurance that their means of con1nu-
nication with post and railway towns
and centers, their lines of haul and of
comfortable travel, the highways be-
tween rural and town advantages and
privileges will early be Infinitely better
and more numerous than they now are
The construction of a road TO the
Yosemite Valley by the Government,
built upon approved lines and with a
view to per1nanency, economy and rap
idity Of use, VIII make travel to the
valley at once ten times greater than
at present, and invite attention to our
foothin region that it does not now
have. It will as a natural sequence
result in the building of local good
roads to connect with the main high
way with it's terminus in the heart of
the greatest natural wonder OF the
coast II not Of the entire continent. It
win have the effect of proving to all
the people the economy and blessings of
good roads. 1t win, in short, be all
around beneficence. Its cost will not
be great-to the Federal Government a
mere trif1e. If California presents this
claim in the proper spirit we have not
the slightest doubt that Congress will
respond to it in the most generous man
ner.

The Dominion Government announces
that the taxes and royalties laid upon
Klondike miners and mines, are not
discriminating, but apply to subjects of
the crown as well as TO strangers to the
soil of the Dominion. That being the
case, we cannot see what our miners in
the Northwest have to complain of.
The tax may be, nay is, excessive, but
if it is not discriminating we cannot

THE COAL STRIKE.
Tulare Register: The great strike
of coal miners is assuming more dan
gerous attitude and serious trouble may
be expected the coming week. So far
the miners. have pursued a very con-
sentative policy considering the num-
Der of men out of work, but the oper-
ators are showing an aggressive spirit
and have resolved to put union
men into the mines. This will surely
result in a clash between the union
and non union miners, and the authori-
ties will necessarily have to take hand
and bloody riots are likely to take place
in many districts. When men get hun
cry they fight and the striking miners
are on the verge of hunger. The farm
ers of Pennsylvania have very gener-
ously contributed to the aid of the
strikers and the public sentiment is
very generally on their side. There is
no question that the miners are under
paid and. while there are difficulties in
the way of establishing a uniform scale
of wages, these things ought somehow
to be accomplished and if the operators
would work as hard to accomplish
them as they are working to defeat the
strikers success would surely crown
their efforts
