ed, the supports OF the county fusion
lists are being knocked from under by
the Herculean arm of their own i'm
becility. The pops, ever since they
have held Office, have made their eyre
gious blunders and DISPLAYED the dens-
est of ignorance with sang froid that
would be amusing were it not so hard
upon the onlookers who have to pay
the violinist.
Fraud, corruption Of the vilest sort,
unfulflment Of pledges, all these and
more are attributed to the gang, and
the huldozing, undetermined methods
so apparent in the recent Chapman
murder trial, has stirred up the ire Of
many good citizens who, after witness
ing the benificent(O effects of fusion
ism. are now crying, "turn the rascals
out"
"There will he decapitation from
start to fnish," remarked an erstwhile
pop, who was prominent in the fusion
campaign two years ago, to Tacoma
Herald man this week, "and it is safe
to assert that not a man at present
holding down a soft snap IN the NAL
administration of county affairs will
be returned to Office. We thought we
had a laugh coming two years ago
when we elected our men. and we are
still laughing. But the risiblities es-
cape from the wrong side of the physi-

A Voluntary Wage Raise.

The Northern Pacific has restored
the wages of engineers, iremen and
passenger train conductors in its en-
ploy to the standard that prevailed on
the road prior to the general cut made
in 1893. This means an advance of
from 10 to 10 per cent. An uncon-
firmed rumor is out that the wages of
laborors in the company's employ will
also receive an advance.
The new scale decided upon went
into effect the first of the month, but
has not been generally announced, and
it was with diffidence that any of the
officials of the road would speak up
on the matter until Assistant Gener-
al Superintendent Pearce last evening
confirmed the news.
The advance is effective along the
entire system, and will mean the dis
tribution Of thousands or more OF dol
lars monthly among the employees of
the road. No cause for the advance
is given, but old men in the employ
of the company recall that when the
wages were reduced the promise was
made by the company that as soon as
it could afford it it would restore wa

gold dust and drafts estimated at
5000, 900. They come down the Yu-
kon river from Dawson to St. Michael

As to the amount OF gold they
brought with them they were very ret
icent. Capt. Joyce and purser Den
mis- OF the New England are authority
for the statement that there was on
deposit in the steamers strong box
$175 900 worth OF dust and that the
drafts they carried would make an ag-
gregate amount of over 100000. w.
Il. Heddle of Nanaimo, B. c., is the
largest individual holder OF dust. He
is credited with $4,000.
Capt. Joyce of the New England
states that the schooner Hattie l..
Phillips left St. Michael June - for

from Dawson with 100000 in gold
dust.

In another column will be found a
call for bids for the protection of the
lands along side of the Goldsborough
creek through town. A committee of
Councilmen have been looking over
the various weak spots " here the creek
has been doing cons derable damage,
between the Potts place and First
street, and various plans, more or less
experimental and expensive, have been
suggested to hold the creek in bounds
during the high waters. The COM
m1ttee has decided to let anyone who
has an idea, come forward with his
plans and bid for the work. The Coun-
ell is willing to spend a reasonable
sum Of money if the work can be sat-
istactorily done, so it will stay. The
high waters have washed away several
acres of ground through town, and
spoiled the appearance of that side of
town. Now that the banks have been
cleared the creek is gradually en-
croaching each year, and it is now be-
coming necessary that something be
done, so the Council has done a good
thing in taking up the matter at this
time, so the work could be done during
the summer and early fall, while the
water is low.

THE SUPERVISION OF FORESTS

n RECENTLY issued report of the Chief Fire / \ Warden of Minnesota, covering the year ISo7
 has attracted much attention in the East by of the evidence 1t affords Of the advantages accruing to commonwealth from udicious care and guardianship of its forests In Minnesota hardly anything has been done in that way by the State ex cept guard against fires, and yet even that much has resulted in saving vast that the cost of the supervision amounts to but trifle in comparison with it.
 According to reviews of the report given in our exchanges, the standing timber in Minnesota is esti- mated by the Fire Warden to be worth at the lowest calculation upward of $1oo,oooooo Minnesota is one of the large States of the Union and Its forest area extends over many miles The annual destruction of trees by fires at one time so great that the loss almost incaculable With the supervision now established these losses while not completely guarded against, have been so much reduced that according to the report under consideration the total loss by fires in the forest for the year was but $zzss and on the prairies $14,5s4
 It would be gratifying if we could have report from Californian official showing as low loss by forest fires that of the Fire Warden of Minnesota single one oi our large fires will probably sweep away five times the value of all the trees destroyed by
 fires in Minnesota in whole year It is indeed high
 time for us to be giving serious consideration to this problem We can find in Europe and in the older States o the East ample precedents both to warn us and to guide
 Germany has actually made her forestry system pay revenue to the State, while at the same time the forests themselves increase in value Spain has long since destroyed her forests and her people are sui ferng the consequences in the form of a thousand evils At present California is following the of Spain, while Minnesota has turned her steps toward wiser courses Our forests to-day are worth much more than those of our sister State but if each persists in the course it is now pursuing it will not be very long before the superiority will be on the other side.

THE DUTY oE REGISTRATION.

HEGISTRAR BIGGY reported last Thursday H that up to that time only about I4ooo out of possible 74ooo voters had registered notwith- standing the fact that the office has been open since June l. At the main office registration will close on August & There is, therefore, comparatively little time for the 6oooo citizens who yet remain to get their the rolls.
 It is not easy to understand why any considerable number of intelligent men should have SO long neg lected to attend to important political duty this. The pressure of business cannot have kept everybody back, is 1t likely that so many per sons believe their former registration will remain good. It has been announced over and over that with the formation of the new great register the old one will be cancelled, and one will be al- lowed to vote whose name is not on the new one
 Registration the main office can be accomplished now, before the rush begins in about five minutes So small is the number of persons who are now regis tering daily that there IS almost waiting necessary on the part of any. The office, moreover, is open until 9 p. m. to accommodate those who cannot at tend the duty in the daytime, that there ample opportunity for all to register at their convenience without crowding and without delay.
 It is hardly necessary say that this condition of affairs will not last much longer The time for clos ing registration at the main office Is drawing near The rush will soon begin Those who wait will be put to many inconvenience that they could now avoid. Every argument, therefore, is the side of prompt attention to the duty.
 There is reason to fear that spirit of indifference has developed in the city in regard to the approach ing election, and that the people aware of the importance of the issues before them It is certain that all of the so-called push" and "pulI element will register and vote. If the business men of the city neglect to be equally attentive to their political duties they will merit the fate that will befal them on election day.
 A free government is dependent for good adminis- tration upon the free actions of its best citizens If they neglect their political duties because of business or indifference, then the administration of city or State and representation at Washington will be just what the bosses choose to make.
