letter from Alaska.

The following letter was recently
received by Frank Freeman, of Ma
son Valley, from friend who has
some interests in the new Atland
district. The letter speaks tor itself:

FRIEND FREEMAN: - Your welcome
letter was received all right. There
is no trail yet to Bennett or Atlin.
a few folks are trying it but are
getting the worst of it, and eight or
ten have lost their lives so far this
Winter. 1t will be at least a month
yet before the trail can be used.
Mckee Greek is reported very good,
and there are several other good
creeks. The days are very short
here now, only about four hours OF
daylight. You will be in plenty of
time next March. From all accounts
from the Greek there will be a big
rush in the Spring. The town is
filling up rapidly and it Is hard to
rent a cabin here. The roilroad is
still working large force of men
but having hard time on account
of snowslids, etc. They claim they
will have the road to the Summit
by January 18th, and are building
camps near Log Cabin. A big force
is at work on the Canadian side, too.
All kind of reports come from Atlin
about Jumping claims, closing down
etc. You can rest assured your
claims will be all right. There are

The weather was fine for month
after you lett, and at last reports

the townsites in the Atlin district.
This does not effect the claims. Good

SOME one of our legislators ought
to introduce a bill to compel the
use of wide tired wagons on valley
roads in this State. Wide tires are
road builders instead of road de-
stroyers. California, we believe,
has wide tire law, and probably
some information could be gained
from our sister State as to what
would be about the thing for Neva-
da to have in this line. France
probably has the best wagon roads
in the world, and this is due large
ly to the use of wide tires There
heavy vehicles are made with the
front axle narrower than the hind
one so that the vehicle when pass
ing over the road acts as huge
roller. This kind of a system in
Nevada vallies would save great
deal of money which is now being
absolutely wasted on road building.

The farce of petitioning to mem
bers of the Legislature to act on
certain questions has again been
played without drawing a respect
able audience. 1t has been shown
that the average man signs any old
petition that is presented to him,
and that many thoughtful business
men have even signed petitions to
burn their own towns and hang
their best friends. A petition is a
farce, and any person elected as a
servant of the people shows poor
judgment when he allows himself
to be controlled by petitions.

THE Hon. VIM. M. Stewart will
represent Nevada in the halls of the
national legislature for another six
years, and the people of the battle
born State can rest contented and
assured that their every interest
will be closely watched and faith
fully represented. The campaign
just closed has developed a crop of
leg-pullers, traitors and bunco men
larger than any honest man would
ever have believed could be pro-
duced in a single State, but enough
true and loyal silver men still re-
main in the ranks to see that the
State is not turned over to the gold
bugs. Never before have the silver
forces been so severely tried as in
the campaign just past. With the
combined forces of the gold men
against them, the silver cause par
TALLY obscured by clouding it with
the railroad issue, and with traitors
in the party in high and infuen-
tial positions, the Silver Party had
a path to travel which was not
strewn with roses by any means.
Not only this, but the press of the
State, with the exception of the
Carson Appeal, Virginia Report,
Lovelock, Tribune, and the TIMES
apparently was hypnotized by the
metallic lustre of the substance
usually put into a fight of this
kind by the gold bugs. The four
papers above named stood the brunt
of the battle and may justly feel
proud of the part they took in
helping to win the great victory.
Now that the senatorial fight is
over the people will find that the
members of the Legislature who
had the courage to stand mp to their
honest convictions on the silver is
sue are ready to proceed with such
legislation as will most benefit the
State. You will also find the sill
yer newspapers devoting liberal
space to advocating such measures
as are proposed for the welfare of
the State Some influences may
try to jam some obnoxious legis-
lation through, but we believe that
there are enough bright and honest
members in the present legislature
to stop all jobbery, and also to pre-
vent the Silver Party from legis-
lating against itself. The Silver
Party for the last four years has
given the State the most economic
cal administrator it ever had, and
there is no reason why the same
should not be done during the next
four years. There should be
strict watch kept, however, that the
traitors do not sneak back into the
fold and make further attempts to
wreck the party. 1t took heroic
measures to get black sheep ont of
the fold and it will take the same
kind of work to keep them out.

Settle 1t at Home!

u S shown yesterday in the Stand
ard, the facts in the infamous
Pomeroy bribery case are
enough to make any decent man
shudder. if he stood in W. A. Clark S
shoes. The history of that case was
accurately quoted yesterday morning
from the compilation of contested cases
in the senate.
The facts, as shown to be, were that
Pomeroy gave $1,000 to a member of
the Kansas Legislature. This Kansas
senator, whose name was York, stated
next day, in the presence of the Joint
session, that, for the purpose of expos
ing Pomeroy, he had taken the money,
and he passed over the $1,000. There
was no witness: there were no other
members of the Kansas legislature who
testified to a like experience with the
bribe-giving senator.
Pomeroy was defeated. He afterward
tried to charge conspiracy. as the Clark
heelers are trying now, and his case
was heard by a senate committee
With the result that the senate re-
fused to seat Pomeroy-some of the
members of the committee, Allan G.
Thurman being one Of them, de-
nounced vigorously the effort to buy a
senate seat.
The proofs Of bribery in the Montana
case of w. A. Clark are many fold
stronger. Several men whom this state
respects and trusts have testified that
Clark's bride money was handed to
them and that, as in the Pomeroy case,
they took the money for the purpose
of exposing the rascality and the ras-
Gals.
No sane man believes that W. A.
Clark could get possession of a seat
in the senate, even If, as the consum-
nation of a crime. he were able to buy
a majority in the state legislature. It
is absolutely certain that the senate
would kick him out of the national
capitol were he to present himself
there. But, for the sake of the self
respect of Montana, it is not due that
Washington should be asked to
straighten out notorious crimes at
Helena.
Let the voice of rebuke be raised and
be needed in Montanas own capital.
rather than that it should be left for
the senate at Washington to publish
the Montana legislature to all the
world as an aggregation of dishonest

highest possible praise upon two young
American ensigns who engaged in work
of precisely the same general nature
which Senator Whiteside undertook
and accomplished.
These ensigns, securing British pass
ports, went to Spain, where they passed
themselves off as ,Englishmen. They
won the friendship of Spanish officers
and succeeded in securing secrets of
the utmost value to the American gov
eminent, telegraphing them in cipher
to an address in England, whence they
were cabled to Washington. Through
the information furnished by these
young men, the authorities at Wash
ington were enabled to keep track of
every movement of Cerveras fleet until
it finally crossed the Atlantic. One of
the pair then went to Porto Rico, where
he narrowly escaped discovery and
death, while the other remained in
Spain to keep watch of Admiral
Camara's operations.
You may call them spies if you wish,
but the services of these men were of
extraordinary value to the United
States, and the navy department, as
has been said, eloquently complimented
and eulogized them both Yet their
line of work was essentially similar to
that which Senator Whiteside so thor
oughly and successfully performed
Any one who has seen Gillett's beauti-
full play, THE Secret Service" can ap-
precfate the delicacy and danger in
volved in work of that character and
the physical and moral courage re-
quired for it's performance.
For it does require moral courage of
the highest quality to do an act in the
interest of law and justice and moral
ity when the act itself is liable to be |

spite, hatred, malice and calumny. |
Whatever criticism may be passed |
upon him now by a chagrined band of
boodlers. the next generation will look
back upon Senator Whiteside as a hero.
and the name of W. A. Clark will be
associated with infamy.

1.-THE lame endeavor of the Clark
organs is to divert attention
from the real issue of Clark's
bribery operations to the alleged moral
vurpitude of Senator Whiteside. in
playing the part of a detective as he
was obliged to do in order to bring
about the exposure Without entering
into any ethical controversy, it is
enough to say that detective work is
often duty the performance of which
is absolutely necessary to enfore law
and order, to discover criminals and to
punish them for their crimes
If a murder is committed it is the
sworn duty of the officers of the law to
ferret out the murderer. If bribery is
committed in a Legislature it is equally
the duty of every member to discover
it if possible and expose it. In taking
his oath of office every member swears
to uphold, protect and defend the con-
stitution and laws of the state of Mon
tana. In time of war the best men
available in the army and navy are
picked for the secret service. 1t is less
than two months ago that the navy
department took occasion to bestow the

The True Manna,

According to NJ. Chastrey, the true
mamma of the Scripture is the thallo-
phyte, known to botanists as "Cano-
ma esculenta' and ''Lichen esculentus"
The nomads of the Sahara and South
Algeria call it Ousseh-el-A Ard 1t is IL
so found in Persia, Arabia and Mesopo-
tamfa. 1t is grayish, about the size
of small pea, and farinaceous inside.
Some say the spores are brought by
wind and develop with dew. Others
think it leaves a germ or seed behind
it when it perishes. 1t should be col
lected in the morning of it's appearance,
because 1t dries in the sun and is lost
in the sand. 1t can be preserved in a
closed vessel. This lichen does not cling
to any foreign body, but lies on the
sand in a layer sometimes nearly an
inch thick, and can be collected easily.
1t is rather sweet in taste. The Arabs,
whose lives it often saves, boil it in
water, and thus get a gelatinous paste,
which they serve in various ways. TO
preserve the mamma they dry it in the
shade or they wrap the paste in skins.
Analysis show that the lichen contains
16 parts of water, Ia of heterogeneous
matter, 20 of on-nitrogenous matter,
five of mineral matter, 80 of sugared
and amylaceous matter and four CT
fats. The Arabs of Chaambra and the
Algerian douars never fail to gather
it after dews and rains as a welcome
addition to their diet and gentle laxa-
