MIR. IVEY'S STATEMENT.

Mir. Iyey, the collector for the district of Alaska, has recently submitted to an interview in his own defense iII the Seattle Post lntelligencer. In doing so. he made serious mistake. We have not had the pleasure of personally meeting the collector aud what we know of him is from information gain ed through others, but with very slight exceptions we can say to hlm and all other officials that when an otiiee-hold- CT goes into the papers with his own personal statement for the purpose of either defending himself or assailing his opponents he commits q great er- TOT. and We find in Alr. lNey's defense no cause for stating hat he has brought himself within the exception to the rule stated. and We regret much that he has put himself on record in such q man ner that he has humiliated his friends and done his enemies no special harm.
 Mir. Ivey has many friends and sup porters in Fort Nrangel and his allu- sions to the people in this city ars most unkind and tend to place them in a very unenviable light before the read ing public Fort Wrangel is made up of a very orderly. well disposed ard law abiding people, and surely lyey is doing them an injustice when he paints them as a lawless element that requires the strong arm of the military depart ment to hold them in check.
 We cannot believe that the collector intended to represent such a condition as he describes. from his own personal knowledge. Some of hi. alleged friends have no doubt imposed upon him. He has probably made his statement on the information gained from others, for Fort Wrangel ha- enemies within, as well as without her portals and during his absence We are willing to take the most charitable view and give him the benefit of the doubt, and await his re turn when we may know whether he has been correctly reported and. if so, whether he assumes the full respousi- bility of the same.

JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS.

The political opponents of Congress man Lewis of Washington are in deep consultation at this time devi-ing ways and means whereby he may be defeated in an election for second term as rep resentative. That they have an hercu- lean task before them will not be doubted hy those who know the able Congressman and realize the hold he has upon the people. Col. Lewis i> a very bright man and the two years nat he has been in congress has succeeded in gaining him prominence and r"pu- tatiou that few men indeed could ever acquire. Ii is only to those possessed of towering ability that advancement as rapid as he has made can be accom- plished i{c is about thirty wears of age. the finest trial lawyer in Washing ton. brilliant orator, and yet 50 com mon that there are none so humble that he would fail to notice or speak to them. He iS possessed of q memory that is simply wonderful and in his general knowledge there is but one weak spot-he has never studied the Bible. and will make miserable hlund- CTS in trying to quote it. # Was a long time before the better grade of lawyers in Seattle were willing to acknowledge his ability as a member of the pFOfes- sion. but after he made his defense in the Krug embeZZlement case, even his enemies admitted that they were sur prised. and those who tried to make themselves believe that Col, Lewis couldn't do anything but talk, were convinced of their mistake.
 While Col. Lewis is a good dresser. yet, as before stated, he is common. While he has every reason to possess a swelled head, he is not accused of it. He is friend to the common people. The farmer and the workingman like him and it is admitted that he will be q hard man to beat at an election. lie is d reasonably careful politician. too, and makes but few bad breaks. When he was first elected. he opposed the Nicaragua canal, but he soon decided that the West was ill favor of it. and he tlopped over so easily, so gracefully, that his friends now deny that he ever was opposed 10 this great measure.
 The fight against him will be a hot one. He has his enemies and they are bitter. The leadership of his opponents is in able hands, and it will be con test between giants.

JUDGE JACKsoN's AssAMANTs

Judge Jackson, of this city, has, we think, been needlessly assailed, and we doubt not keenly feels the wrong that has been done to him. He has, how eyer, displayed his usual good judg ment in simply ignoring his traducers, and we wish it distinctly understood that what we say concerning the mat ter is in no manner prompted by any request or suggestion on his part
 As man and citizen, we have no better. He is generous, public spirited and chivalrous \ good friend to Fort Wraugel and always found laboring for her interests. Honest and fair in residence in this city will bear witness to the truth of what we have said.
 As an official and the judge of our court we know but little of him from practical experience, but of course those can be found who are willing to deuounce and condemn many of his official acts. but the same can be said of almost every judge from commis. premc court. To accuse the judge uf every district of corruption is a very common thing among Americans.
 We once heard it said in this city that Judge Jackson was standing in' with the gamblers \ short time there after member of the fraternity was brought into his court for gambling. The writer happened to be there and out of curiosity. and for the purpose of viewing the "standing in" process, remained until the end of the trial which resulted in a conviction without q jury.
 Judge Jackson imposed q fine of ,;1OO aud the defendant paid if.
 We'll, We then concluded if the Judge WAS faYoring the gamblers, he took d very peculiar course in showing it.. Judge Jackson makes mistakes, the same as all other trial courts. Nearly halt of the eases reviewed by the higher judges on appeal are reversed on ac- count of the mistakes of the trial court and in nine -tcnths of the cases the court iS accused of corruption.
 The insinIations against Judge Jack son will do him no harm in this city. His court record will show acquitals in very. yes remarkably. few cases and if we were to write a criticism ou his official acts we would say the percent age of convictions k too great. The habit of accusing courts of dishonesty is so common that little attention k paid to it. His enemies wish to, and will continue to condemn him and the confidence of his friends will be strong or than eyer.
 Judge Jackson will suffer no harm from his assailauts.

OVER THE TRAIL.
:. Pearson Goes from GIcnora to Lake Tes in With a 100 Pound Pack. His Talk
 With NeH $ Man.

Mr. $. Pearson came to this city di- rect from Gleuora last Friday. He has been up there for some time. His bus mess in the past has been that of a rail road contractor aBd builder. He was first observed by the News man while talking to some parties about the Lake Te9lin trail on Front street last Satur- day afternoon. Of course the reporter struck him for an interview, and MT Pearson kindly consented to give the writer such facts as were within his knowledge.
 What do you know of your own knowledge about the trail from Glenora Ia Lake Tcslin:" was asked by the scribe.
 'l know quite little about it." said Air Pearson. Il was over the trail, that is from Telegraph creek. 1 left that place with il hundred pound pack on June 2nd, and came back to the same place on the 2lst. 1 did some prospecting along the way. The trail is good and l don't care who says it amt, My business across was to see the trail and also tO do some prospect ing and did both. There are num- Der of pack trains on the trail and are taking lots of outfits across"
 Were any men at work improving the trail?n was asked
 lies, Il miles this side of the lake a number of men were at work and there were enough to make all needed repairs within a week. The water has all gone from off the trail and it is now perfect ly dry. These men were at work on the trail the 18th. That is when l saw them"
 'FIow about Lake Teslin, what is the news from there?n
 Nothing much. The boat they are building was launched while l was there, which was on the 16th. 1t is to run from the lake to Dawson"
 Returning again to the condition of the trail, and to be certain that Mr. Pearson was not misunderstood, he said, the trail is good, it is all ri ght for travel. l am speaking of what l saw myself, and nothing more."

THE WASHINGTON SOLDIERS.

The Washington volunteers who en- li-trd to fight the Spaniards are not in thc haapiest mood oyer the manner in which they are being treated. \ part of them have been sent to the Nancou- yer Elrraek- wher" they nov the lawns. clean the cuspidors and do the work for the officers that fall to the lot of a chambcrmaid iu a we'll regulated family. Some of these boys are mem berS of the "4O0n and the protest they make is mildcr than one would expect under the circumstances. Recruiting o.ltcrr9 have recently been sent to N aehinQton cities for more men, but whether the boys will fall over each other in the scramble to enlist. under tae circumstances is doubtful. It k admitted that tha Washington boys are tEe best drilled of any of the volunteers and seine job may have been set up on them.

FRAUD OR MISTAKE, WHICH?

The Seattle Daily Times. an unusu- ally bright paper, was recently dated on the first page as of the Dist and on the inside as the 10th. 1t was sold for il paper of the former date, but con tained the news that was of the latter. We have heard it stated that the paper dates ahead to increase it's sales in Alaska We can't believe that Col. Blethen would perpetrate such fraud to increase his sales by only few pa pers. But there is something out of whack. It is either a fraud or mis- take.

SIie Game Back.

River steamer Victorian pulled into the bay last Sunday evening. Not a flag was unfurled and she was as gentle and docile as d meek lamb. The Vic torian pulled out from here for St. Mi chaels a few mornings ago. 1t was three o'clock in the morning. She whis tied and whistled beloved and bawl- ed until she woke up every sound sleep CT in the town. She made such free use of the whistle that we were told she stopped mile ont to get up moro steam. Poor thing. 'How are the mighty fallen" She came back to us with a hole stove into her bottom, her spine fractured, and looking as if she had been out in the rain all night. She didn't pull up to any wharf, although hundreds of our people were there to greet and console her, but it being half tide, she slowly and solemply pulled herself onto the beach opposite the saw mill where she lies ill sweet and com plete repose.

The Colonist of the 2lst, an unusual ly conservative and reliable paper, states that it is not true that Macken- zie, Mann & Go. have abandoned their contract to build the Glenora-Lake Teslin railroad and that the contractors will build the road, but that a wagon road will be first constructed. This confirms Judge Jackson's statement to the Post-Intelligencer of recent date, which will be found on the first page of this issue

Women of Ancient Egypt.

Women always stood on a level
with men in ancient Egypt, unlike
the custom of other eastern coun-
tries. They were allowed to rule as
queens as early as the second dynas-
ty. Their palaces were of brick
adorned with gorgeously painted
walls, rich carpets, rugs Of fur, ivory
and ebony chairs and couches. Till
the end of the eighteenth century
there was little change in feminine
attire, which consisted of a fine and
often transparent linen garment, ex-
tending from shoulder to ankle, sup
ported by straps over the shoulders.
Colored robes we're not frequently
worn. Gay plumage was left to the
men. Women contented themselves
with blackening their eyebrows, let
ting their hair down and decking
themselves with innumerable rings,
chains and bracelets.

fair for the bosses. If the
journeymen may justly insist
on their terms, so may the
bosses on theirs.
AS matter of fact there are
no abstract rights. Might
only is involved. If the jour
neymen's union is strong
enough, it will compel the
bosses to boycott the scabs. If
1t isn't the bosses will have
open shops. If the bosses
union is strong enough it will
compel the journeymen to boy
colt the "scab' employers. 1t
it isn't, the men will work as
before where they please and
where they can.
Abstract rights, indeed, there
are, but they lie back of these
disputes, this jockeying for the
best end of the wages ques-
ton. The general tendency is
toward alliance of bosses and
men, but it does not rest on alb
stract right and is no more
concerned with pure justice
than is the adjustment of
stock quotations on the ex-
chance.

Among the recent ore leases
was one of the Mahoning prop
erty for ninety-nine years at
the rate of not less than 10000
tons a year on a royalty OF
twenty-five cents a ton. That
is the owners of the land have
sold not less than 100000
tons of ore payable in install
ments running through CEN
fury for $3,75O,OO0. It is fairly
profitable for the land owners
who got their money back out
of the pine they cut the
land, and to whom the ore is
so much windfall. But if this
one mine, without allowing a
cent for the value of improve
ments to be mode, is worth
nearly four million dollars be-
fore stroke of work has been
done, by what reasoning have
the courts found that the total
value Of. the mines in this
county is $12,O0O,0o0? And in
addition to that the ore must
pay tribute to the railroad
monopoly. How have the re-
sources of this county been dis
sipated. T.

MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.

There is strike of the Chi
cago carpenters on the lines of
organization touched upon by
the LABOR WORLD two weeks
ago. The carpenters have, of
course, their union. They have
insisted, as one of the terms of
the labor compact, that the bos-
ses should hire only union men,
a rule that is essential if trades
unions are to have any hold at
all. Theoretically, the union
should say, we will work on
such and such terms; anybody
who wants to work for less may
do so; our demand being just,
we are confident that the bos-
ses can't find competent men
without coming to us at our
own terms. Practically it
doesn't work that way; the
union fixes it's scale, and will
fight against anybody who
works for less, and try to see
that nobody gets a job who
doesn't agree to union terms IN
the only effective way-by join
ing the union. To do that they
have to put the screws on any
body who offers to hire non
union men.
Well, the bosses in Chicago
have organized little union
of their own with it's scale of
prices and it's trade regulations.
And when it comes to signing
the labor compact they agree
to hire only union men as usual
and on the other hand they
want the men to promise to
work for only union bosses. It
is the same as the plumbers
compact in Duluth.
The journeymen carpenters
refused to sign the agreement
with that clause and a strike
followed.
It is fine chance for doCtrin-
aires to discuss the abstract
rights. What is fair for the
journeymen, they tell us, is

CONDENSED BY FREEZING.

a
served indefinitely.
Considering the wide and extend
ed use Of condensed milk products,
the method of manufacturing it by
a freezing instead of heating proc
ess, as carried out at Cattaraugus,
N. Y, is important and interesting.
The first treatment consists in plac-
ing the milk in vacuum chamber
to rid it of animal gases and atmos-
pheric air dissolved in the milk,
which appear at the surface in bub-
oles, and thus escape. This re-
lnces the volume of the milk about
one-tenth. The milk leaves this
chamber at the proper temperature
for the removal of the fatty con-
tents by means of a cream separator
which is set to run heavy cream.
During this process any foreign
matter, such as solid particles,
which are always in evidence, is
removed, and the cream is added
subsequently to the finished prod
uct.
From the separator the fat free
milk is run over bank of copper
pipes, through which ice water cir
culates, reducing the temperature of
the milk from 80 degrees. After
passing over these cooling coils it is
placed in refrigerating chambers
and constantly stirred. In about
nine hours the whole bulk Of milk is
converted into a mass of icy crystals
and milk sufficiently thick to form
into hummocks. This is again
placed in centrifugal and the milk
reduced in volume about one half.
An average sample of the ice, which
looks very much like snow, gives
on analysis only about two-tenths
of / per cent of solid matter. The
now thick milk~~is returned to the
freezing closet, and in about seven
hours more it is reduced to a dense
mass of crystals, which, after cen
trifugal treatment, measures only
one-quarter of the original bulk. A
third freezing of ~ hours and a
centrifugal extraction reduces the
bulk of the milk to about 13 per
cent of it's original volume. Il.
The final step of the process is the
admixture Of the heavy cream in
proper proportions to the fat free
milk. This final product, or con-
densed milk, is fair representation
of milk minus the bulk Of it's water.
Moreover, it is free from foreign
favors and has an aroma which is
true to the milk from which it is
prepared. 1t mixes readily with
water, forming milk from which
cream will separate as from I'M
treated milk. To show the great
concentration of the milk, it may
be stated that, taking 100 gallons of
milk as unit quantity, this would
reduce to 10 gallons in the end. In
other words, the 81 gallons of water
in the milk are formed into ice,
leaving an unfrozen balance Of very
thick milk, which represents ir
milk sugar, oasein and inorganic
salts fully nine gallons Of solids.
The fat equivalent added by the
heavy cream removed in the first
operation is adjusted in the final
treatment to represent dilution
with water three parts and con-
densed milk one part, proportion
of 8 6-10 per cent of milk fat, which
is the normal proportion in the
average milk. It is stated that con-
densed milk prepared in this man
ner will keep indefinitely, as the
micro organisms producing fer
mentation are destroyed. Phila-
delphia Record.

AN AP0LoGETIC EXPLANATION

Numerous complaints have reached
this office eferring to delay in receiv-
ing papers, especially the last two or
three numbers. We hasten to apollo
gize by explaining. Three weeks ago
an accident happened to the press oc-
casioning delay of days. This week
our gasoline, with which our engine is
run, became exhausted before a new
supply, ordered week previous, had
reached Us. And it is not here yet. We
have ordered gasoline three different
times the past few days, ordering it
shipped by freight, by steamer and by
express. We have no tidings of any of
the various shipments, and neither have
they benzine-by anybody. Today we
send the pressman and two courageous
members by sailboat with sealed orders
to carry the Standard Oil Company at
all hazards and bring in the gasoline
dead or alive. BY the time they get
back no doubt the other supplies or
dered will begin to arrive and we will
have more gasoline than we will know
what to do with This all is evidently
Il part of the necessary experience OF
pioneering, and our members on the
outside, who are so anXiously looking
for their papers, are not feeling half SC
bad about the delay as we are. The
paper dated July >, No. 9, will be
mailed July >, and we hope in the next
few weeks, with unlimited gasoline and
unlimited freshness and energy of the
printing force after a couple of days
enforced vacation, to catch up and
reach our many friends once more on
time.
