fisheries and timber, all of which
await development, and which will
richly reward the man who has
pluck and energy and some money
to tide him over the period that
must elapse until he secures a foot
hold. Until very recently there
was an opportunity for every man
coming to Skaguay to secure work
at fair or even good wages. But
with the advent of hundreds into q
limited field, so far as the chances
for labor are concerned, the oppor-
tunity has passed, and the man
who now comes to Alaska without
money with the hope of at once
being able to secure work will b9
bitterly disappointed. In the
Alaska towns there are today hun
dreds of men who would gladly
work if they could secure a chance.
They cannot, for there is nothing
for them to do. The supply of labor
is far in excess of the demand, and
the News ieels compelled, in justice
to itself and the community which
it represents, to sound the note of
warning. Alaska at the present
time is no place for the man with
out means. The labor market is
flooded, and much distress will in
evitably result to those who come
here expecting to secure work of
some kind on their arrival. Alaska
is no place for a man without
means, we repeat, no matter how
hard working, how industrious he
may be, simply because the labor
supply exceeds the demand, and
development of the country's re-
sources must first come before there
will be any extraordinary demand
for labor, ana especially for un-
skilled labor.

The Whole Truth at Last Told of the
Country Editor.
CONGRESSMAN CLARK,
,yof Missouri, Apostrophizes the OverwOrked
Servant of the People In Glowing
Language

During the discussion of the
Loud bill in the house Congress-
man Clark of Missouri, magnif-
Gently eulogized the country
editor in the following graphic
and truthful language:
1 am unalterably opposed to
anything that will lnj1re the
coun try editor, curtail his profits,
circumscribe his usefulness or
place an additional thorn III his
pathway.
The rural editor God bless
him-is the most persistent of
teachers. Like charity, as de-
scribed by st. Paul in the 18th
chapter of the First Corinthians,
he "suffereth long and is kind"
which cannot be said of the men
who got up this bill. He en-
vieth not" in which he does not
resemble some people over on this
side of the house. He vaunteth
not himself" in which he is un-
like The leaders of the other side
of the big isle. "He is not puffed
up" in which he does not resemble
good many of us. He does not
behave himself unseemly; seeketh
not his own; is not easily pro-
voked."
In this last respect he does not
at all resemble my friend from
California, Mr.. Loud. HE think
eth no evil" in which he is vastly
superior to a great many of us;
"rejoiceth not in iniquity," in
which he is totally unlike the re-
publicans, "but rejoiceth in the
TRUTH" which proves that he is
cousin-german to the democrats.
"He beareth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things" and
in that respect he is very much in
the predicamert of the minority
on this side of the house under
the Reed rules.
He is the pack morse of every
community, the promoter of every
laudable enterprise, the worst un-
derpaid laborer in the vineyard.
Counting his space as his capital,
he gives more TO charity, his means
considered, than any other mem
Der of society. He is power in
politics, pillar of the church, a
leader in the crusade for better

If You are Making a Living Keep
Away from Alaska.
TOO MANY WITHOUT MEANS.
The Supply OF Labor is Far in Excess OF
the Demand, and Much Distress
viii Inevitably Result.

Harry Newland, an old-timer in
Silver City, returned from Skaguay,
Alaska, last Wednesday and has
been busy ever since shaking hands
with his many friends and enter
tanning groups with his experiences
in the far north. Harry was not
favorably impressed with Skaguay
and is heartily glad to get back
into Gods country. He says the
only really happy moment in his
life, he believes, was experienced
when he stepped aboard the steamer
and the vessel weighed anchor and
steamed proudly away, homeward
bound. He dwe!ls at great length
upon the hardships of Alaska, and
claims It is no place for a man
without means, no matter how in
dustrious he may be, and advises
all who have situations here and
are making a good living to remain
and let Alaska severely alone. At
Skaguay he worked for $3.50 per
week and was glad to get it, though
that amount only paid living ex-
penses. Below we print an article
from the Skaguay News, copy of
which paper Mr.. Newland kindly
furnished us:
"The rush from all parts of the
country to Alaska is bringing into
this territory too many men with
out means, but who arc willing to
work, as well as those without
means or inclination to labor.
"We are reliably informed that
there are many men in the states
who are throwing up good positions
to join the great rush to Alaska
and the Klondike. We regret to
hear this. No man, who is MAX
ing a comfortable living for himself
and family, is justified in aban-
doning a remunerative position in
the hope of regaining fortune in
another land. It's, unfortunately,
only too true that distance lends
enchantment to the view. The
green fields are always Just over
yonder, when the truth is the same
green fields too frequently prove
arid lands, more barren than those
left behind. The News has pointed
out from time to time the great
opportunities presented by Alaska.
This great territory has mines, and

that there was more mud.

in the history of the state.
The supposition that the ele.
ment of womans suffrage in
our elections would purify
politics is evidently erroneous.
In our experience the ladies'
God bless them all-of all par.
ties are just as rank partisans
as we'uns of the sterner sex
and the result of the extended
suffrage will be to make a

Claims Part of the Big Buffalo

Claims Part of the Big Buffalo.
Spokane Review.
The Big Buffalo claim, the
original location which caused
the stampede and excitement
in the Florence district of
Idaho last August, is to be
the subject of a grubstake
lawsuit. ]. N. Rice, Of Flor
ence, was in Spokane a few
days since, and engaged the
services of w. B. Hepburn to
bring suit against Rigley, one
of the locators of the property,
claiming that he is entitled to
half of Rigley's locations dur
ing 1898 through having grub
staked the prospector. He
claims to have documentary
evidence that he paid for the
outfit which Rigley was using
at the time the discovery Of
the Big Buffalo claim was
made.
The property involved is Of
immense value, it being stated
upon good authority that Cap
tain Delamar's expert Offered
100000 for the claim a few
weeks ago. The owner:
would not sell at that figure
insisting that the property il
worth ST., 900, 900, but the De
lamars expert could not see i
in that light. The case will
come up in Idaho county.

Delinquent Revenues.
Boise Statesman.

Boise Statesman.
Quite a number of the coun-
ties are delinquent to the state
on taxes. The total of these
delinquencies, accrued since
the law of 1895 was enacted,
is $4o,763, and the amount
prior to 1895 is $5o,o32, a
total of $1o1,7o5. The total
amount of warrants outstand,
ing is $l87,4Io.
1t thus appears that, if the
counties were all paid up, the
state would be nearly on Z
cash basis, while the revenue:
of this year would put enough
money in the treasury to car
ny the state government for {
long time.
Some counties are paid W
in full, and it is a great injus
tice to them to permit Others
to become delinquent, as th'
levy has to be made SO mucl
higher to keep things going
The state officials say there il
no adequate provision for col
lection of these delinquencies
and the general public will
agree that it is most desirabl,
that the proper officials b.
given full power to enfor'
payment.
