RUSSIA UP WITH THE TINES
Frauds In the Construction of the ST.
beriAa Railway Have Been
discovered.

Ii is not known that those in charge
OF the construction Of the Siberian rail-
way were ever under the tutelage OF the
members Of the American Credit Mobi-
her, but, judging by reports that come
from that region. they would have been
apt pupils. They certainly have atrick
or two that would put their American
compatriots 10 the blush.
II appears that the different works
have been executed In a name that
shows very little conscience. Every
thing, or nearly everything. will have 10
be done over again before the nuthori-
ties can think OF throwing open this e.
gantic line 10 regular working. In
very many places the road gives way on
the passage Of a train a little heavier
than usual or travelling at a speed OF
more than 20 miles an hour. and acct
dents more or less grave are continual
ly happening. More than usual cour
age Is demanded OF anyone undertake
ing q journey on this railway, This
construction a la ruse has already swal-
lowed up hundreds OF millions OF rubles,
or, to speak more truthfully, the con
structOrs and not the construction have
absorbed the millions. People are be-
ginning to ask how 1t will finish. There
Is still more. Several Siberian journals,
which are, moreover, closely controlled
by the local censors. publish the follow
ing statements: For several months
the navy contractors have not been paid
in cash despite the terms Of their con-
tracts. The engineers in charge, who
represent the government, declared
that they had no more money and that
the contractors must be satisfied with
bonds, which the Siberian and Chinese
banks have for some time discounted at
sh per cent. Frequently these bonds
were not paid on falling due and in con-
sequence the banks refused to act any
longer as Intermediates between the
government engineers and the con-
tractors. 1t was only when one of the
engineers, Prince A., who had made
a fortune, undertook TO be personally
responsible to the banks that they re-
sumed. the functions of discount brok.
ers. But the princes guarantee is
somewhat costly, seeing that he claims
q little fee of IS per cent. The contract
ors are furious, but they find them
selves helpless, owing TO the clause in.
serted in all the contracts to the effect
that disputes between the engineers
and the contractors Of the line have TO
be settled in st. Petersburg. To lodge a
complaint 5000 miles from the spot
where the circumstances have occurred
Is at least announcement and would en-.
tail years delay. The position Of the
unfortunate Dayyies themselves can be
imagined from the treatment OF the
contractors. Their wages are paid very
irregularly and always with deduc.
tons. Badly fed and badly lodged, It IL
not surprising If they give only half q
heart to the work."-Chicago Chron.

THE new criminal code for All aska, goes into effect July 1st, next, and from that date the bus mess of selling llquor becomes a legitimate business under the graduating license plan The license fee for Wrangel will be ! the minimum allowed by law i. e.: i Five hundred dollars; Wrangel being a place of less than one thousand white male and female inhabitants voer the age of eigh- teen years. The fee for Juneau would, under the law, be the maximum amount provided by law, i. e: one thousand five hun
 dred dollars. A feature of the law is the fact that while the amount of the license is made dependent upon the inhabitants within d given territory, there is no provision for ascertalning what the number of inhabitants are. This feature is being over come in Juneau by system of election. The law requires the consent of ma jOrity of the white male and female | inhabitants over eighteen years of age to accompany each application, and it is proposed that such white inhabitants shall vote on each petition on spec flied day; the number of votes baing taken as evidence of the number of white inhabitants Ov- CT eighteen years of age. This is of course assuming that all persons entitled to vote will be present and cast a ballot, which will not be the case. We pre-
 dict that under thls system the eligable population of Juneau will be found to be under fifteen hundred, and the license fee fix
 ed at one thousand dollars.

trance to the rich interior via the Stikeen route. A route via Chilcoot or white Pass, while al- ways dangerous is still possible during a few months in the year; on the other hand tho Stil1een route is open to steamboat travel for six months, and for travel over the ice for four months more, thus: making it by long odds the best and most practical route, and the one which in time is destined to become the most popular means of freight and passenger travel from sea-level to the great unexplored regions in the northwest.

SATTRDAE. .TTNE 3. 1890

THE last official act of Com missioner Tustin before taking his departure was to try an ln- dian, Oscar, under Section 674. of the Oregon code. The trial was illegal for the reason that Mir. Tustin has no jurisdiction of Section 674, and also because the trial took place on Sunday. Os car is an old offender and shonld be severly punished; he was however, let off with a sentence of 30 days.

NAVIGATION on the Stikeen is open, and all boats running through to Glenora and Tele- graph Creek. There is good stage of water in the river and from the fact that the hills are still covered with snow, even dawn to the waters edge, it is judged that there will be no hin derance to naviga ton until fall. It is a great point in favor of the Stikeen route that the trails and streams, north of Wrangel, are impossible, due to the fact that the winter roads are broken up.
 rendering travel impossible: while the strea ms and lakes are still choked with ice. This con- dition is not an unusual one, in fact it occurs every year and is the prime factor moving the Can adian government to seek an Q, :

To see the great number of steamers that are now calling in at Wrangel, and witness the great quantities of freight and stock that is being unloaded, the wharves busy and the warehou- ses packed with freight, brings us back to the time last year when business was so exceeding brisk. To be sure there is still room for lmprovment; but the people of Wrangel can stop and think: There are six ocean liners now making regular stops at Wrangel, in addition to those which called two months ago. The river boats are also adding to the volume of business. They are carrying large quantities of freight up the Stikeen River bound for the interior points. There are also a great many prospectors going up the river, and in nearly every case, these prospectors are persons who have already made rich discover ies, and are going in to develop their property. Ultimately, this will result in opening up the rich country, proving to the world it's great riches. It will mean a healthy growth for Wrangel and prosperity for all our citizens.

THERE is a movement on foot, which should have the hearty support of all our citizens, look ing to Il e proper celebration of the Fourth of July. It has been suggested that the Chamber of Commerce take the matter in hand and try to induce excursion parties from Ketchilan Hunter s Bay Klawock, Howcan, Sumdum and intermediate points, to come here and spend the day. It is proposed to have a celebration betitting the occasion, including a display of fireworks in the evening. This idea is good one, and if carried out, would re- suit in much good to Wrangel; by enabling the people in this section of the country to become better acquainted; not only that but strangers would be able to see for themselves the great ad- vantages of Wrangel as dis tributing point. The merchants of Wrangel carry very complete linns of goods and can compete with any other Alaska point in prices. An entertainment, such as is proposed. would advertise these facts and act as a great Stimulant to trade.

Welcomed Home.

The Elko baseball club was escort
ed into town last evening in fine
shape. Uncle Dicks four-in- n and
that brought the boys from the scene
OF their defeat was proceeded by a
band picked up for the occasion. AL
though the music was not as inspir.
ing as some we have heard, it
made up in volume what it lacked in
inspiration. 1t was'a welcome home
that pulled the stings Of defeat out
by the roots and made the boys feel
that they we're honored even though
no laurels Of victory decked their
browe.
The EIko boys all speak well of the
treatment given them in Tuscarora.
Some complaint is heard about tho
decisions of the umpire being more
favorable to Tuscs rora than to Elko,
but this is generally the cry Of the
losing side and cuts but little ice with
the public. II the deciding game is
played between the two clubs, the
INDEPENDENT would like to see il
confined strictly to home talent.
California, Utah, Nebraska and the
whole world outside OF Elko and Tus-
carora should be barred.
