it been one of her regular charges

There is now a move on foot to
put a straight democratic state
ticket in the field. There's hundreds
of democratic voters who are very
strongly opposed to the fusion
ticket that was nominated. They
declare they will neither vote nor
work for its success and it places
them in an awkward position.
The platform of the republican
party is not to their liking, and
while they admit the nominees on
the ticket are all first class they do
not like to vote for them. The
ouly thing that will satisfy them is
a straight democratic ticket. They
are, and always have been, against
fusion with any party. They sup
ported fusion ticket two years
ago against their will and they do
not like to do SO again.
In the north part of the state
there is a majority of the demo-
cratic party against the fusion
ticket, and straight democratic
,lcket would poll as many votes as
he fusion ticket, because it would
cave the fusion ticket practically
o the immediate friends Of the
nominees on that tlcket..--Idaho

Here are three Spanish proverbs
that bespeak the need of the Span
iard's moral reconstruction. They
all reflect on women, and the nation
that does not respect lovely women
is in pretty bad fix. "Three daugh-

the father" ga house full of
daughters is like ahouse with cellar
full OF sour beer;;" If woman were

Jud Boyakin in the Boise Dem
ocrat, hits the nail on the head. in
the following: 'If rank and file of
political parties mingled into one
as easily and costly and solidly as
do the place hunters, we'd have the
blamedest, impregnablest, fusion in
Idaho that ever fused since omnip-
otence rolled this old world into a
solid ball. A healthy salary carries
more elements of successful fusion
with anything in sight that promis-
es it, than the empty honor and
glory of voting her str aight just to
beat the other fellows on election
day."

THE WEEKS BUSINESS.
JuNEAu's QUARTZ MINES.
ANIMAL Output Estimated ut s3.O00,OOO--
Alasban Gold Dust.

Washington, d. c., Feb Co.
A memorial sent by a committee
appointed at II. mass meeting OF citi-
zens of Juneau. Alaska, to Chairman
c. w. Stone, OF the House committee
on coinage. weights and measures, adj
vocating the establishment OF u United
States assay Office at Juneau, instead
of ut Seattle or Portland, has reached
here.
1t makes important statements about
the Alaskan situation, saying among
other things: a conservative estimate
of the annual bullion output of juneau
from Its quartz mines alone is $1,000
900. produced from approximately $50
stamps. Within twelve months the
number of stamps in operation in lands
tributary to juneau will exceed 100.
and the annual bullion product ex-
ceeds $5,000.0OO During the last twelve
months more than Sl,j00.0O0 of gold dust
produced from Canadian Northwest
Territory has been brought through
here. and there Is now on hand at Daw-
son City approximately $500, 900, to
which will be added from this springss
cleanup an additional S7,5O0,000 Two
companies have constructed fleets OF
lake and river steamers 20 operate be-
tween the head of the lakes and five
finger rapids on the Yukon river
where tramportage has been estab-
lished connecting with fleets of river
boats running through to Dawson City
and assurance Is given that during six
or eight months in the year Il round
trip can be made from Juneau to Daw-
son City in less than twenty days. In
less than twenty years we believe
southeastern Alaska will be the great
est permanent bullion producer in the
world.

THAT" ASTOUNDING DECISION
The Facts Misunderstood by a Morning
Paper.
Wherein the Supreme Court Erred-Reply
to misrepresentation of the Case
The Truth Clearly Stated.

To the Editor:
The communication which appeared
in your columns recently, discussing
the Astounding Decision" rendered
by Judge Zane. in the case of the Canal
companies in salt Lake county, has OBJ
tained some notoriety and some COM
nents from the Salt Lake press. The
Bee. in the first issue OF that bright
and puhgent weekly, supports the posi-
ton taken in the communication which
appeared In the News" but the Salt
Lake Tribune makes the following edi-
torial remarks ON the subject:
THE indecent personal attacks being
made upon Judge Zane in the matter of
the recent canal decision causes one to
wonder what the assailants would have.
Do they really want the doctrine es-
tablished in Utah that canal of pure
water used for culinary and irrigation
purposes can, with impunity, be detiled
and ruined by subsequent enterrrise?
II that Is the idea. 1t In one that the
people of Utah would find insupportable
and calamitous There was no new doc
trlne declared In that decision. ~ some
pretend, as the purpose of basing their
| scandalous personalities. but merely
the restatement OF an approved doc
trine of the courts OF Western states
in like cases. a free people should
wltho,.t abusive personalities the de-
cisions OF their courts, especially their
courts OF last resort"
What is meant in the foregoing by
Indecent personal attacks" and scan
dalous personalities" is difficult to dis
cover. seeing that no personal attack
OF any kind appears. either in the COM
tn,, Ma,
ments of the Bee. 1t cannot he fairly
denied that the decisions of courts are
| open TO public criticism, especially when
they are utterly opposed To the facts
on which such decisions are supposed
to be based. The notorious eight to
seven" decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States, although now
| hoary with nge. is commented upon
| throughout the nation in no gentle lam
| guage, and even its years do not
create for 1t any respect in the minds
| of millions OF the American people The
decision now under discussion IL no
more exempt from PUBLIC comment and
newspaper discussion than that.
The Tribune wants to know whether
| the thousands of persons injured by
| the canal decision really want the
! doctrine established In Utah that a
canal Of pure water, used for culinary
and irrigation purposes. can. with i'm
punity. he befouled ard ruined by
subsequent enterprise?'' That question
| betrays n total misconception Of the
whole matter In controV ersy and II the
| court based It's decision on such incor-
rect premises. II Is not surprising that
| the order was issued against which
there is so much complaint. II IL not
| the doctrine" declared in the decision
that is criticised, It IL the assumption
OF state OF affairs which the testi-
| nnny before the lover court showed
