It is surprising to witness the promptness which has been shown by the people of wrangel and elsewhere, in rallying to the support of the Journal in it's cru sade against corruption and crime as practiced by His Majes- ty Fred the First, and his Royal Highness Prince Joe. The issue of March, 4th had hardly ap- peared on the streets before a half dozeu of persons called, and asked to be enrolled on the sub- 'uoQl oou!S 'Nooq uond!Ios subscriptions have literally poured in, and our modesty alone prevents publication of a few of the many words of praise which greeted each succeeding issue. Not alone have our sub scriptions been greatly increa S ed, but, many business men at home, and below, approaching the importance of this publica- ton as an advertising medium are negotiating for space. All the Alaska papers, and the great dailys in Victoria, Seattle, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago and Washington, D. c, are pub- fishing lacts about the Graft ers' in Wrangel; and the injus- tice they work-quoted from the great weekly. If the rush con- tinues, we will be compelled to enlarge the paper. We wish to thank the public for their liber- al support, and at the same tune assure them of a continuance of an up to date publication, con- ducted in the interest of Alaska in geneeal, and Wrangle in par ticular.
Stikeen River journal., 1899-03-25

THE deeper we delve into the actions of the "Grafters Ar ment and Tustin-the more rot ton the conditions are found to exist, and it would be hard in- deed to find a case, where if op- portunity presented itself, the "Grafters" failed to apply the screws. We are giving the facts to the public as fast as space will admit. The town is getting warmer; and next week we will give our readers more interesting matter.

of the most disreputable sort to engage in the liquor business in Wrangel, 10 the great annoy ance of our law abiding citizens.
 Ii is the duty of all citizens to use their prerogative in this matter, to the end that Wrangel may have such saloons only, as the needs of the town demand, and such saloons should be run in proper and lawful manner.
 Let our leading citizens get together, and act in this mattar at once. There is wisdom in the tative is worth d pound of cure. V

IN another column we publish for the benefit of the notorious Prince Joe; the law relative to exacting tribute from employ ees or subordinates, on the part of United State officials. The law provides that in every case where liquor or other contraband goods passes through Alaska enroute to British Columbia, it shall be conveyed by a representative of the Customs Department. Spec ial deputys are employed for this purpose. whose salary is provided for by law. It is not the intention of the Government that such special deputy shall pay tribute to Joseph A. Arment for his job, and in every case where such tribute is enacted, the e"Graft" constitutes crimin- al offence, punishable by impris Onment.
Stikeen River journal., 1899-03-25

IT appears that certain un- authorized person or persons, have been busying themselves this week, by circulating reports that the "Grafters"- Arment and Tustin-had bought off the Journal, and that in future this paper would support those off, icials in their official acts. We take opportunity to stamp such report as d lie. The Journal is the voice of the people; Truth and Justice is our motto, and as long as our ink lasts, we will cry out against such mon as Arment and Tustin. They are "Graft- CTS" who are using their official positions for personal gain, and neither of them appears to caIe whether they violate the law or not. Both of them have per formed official acts, which make them criminally liable to the law. If these King "Grafters" with the attacks in the Journal to cease, their desire can be ac. complished by their resigning the official positions which they hold, and which they have dis, graced, and retiring to private life; in which case we will show mercy to the extent of advising against the bringing of criminal action; although both richly merit the penelty which they have risked in their wild grasp gotten gain.

We are looking forward with pleasure to his coming, in the hope he will realize the impOsi. tion that has been worked on him by his unprincipled deputy at Wrangel. No doubt Mr..
