though he secures a verdict and judgment
promptly enough, the defendant can APP
peal to the Supreme Court, where the case

Railroad Commission.
Far and away the toughest problem that
the legislature has tackled is the question
as to what shall be done for the Railroad
Commission. The commission was Great
"a two years ago and the members have
worked diligently to secure the adoption
OF reduced freight and passenger rates,
but the orders which il has promulgated
have been treated as a by-word and jest
by the transportation companies. The
commission has no authority in itself TO
enforce its orders. and il seems to have
concluded shat an appeal to the courts
would ava3 nothing,
Accordingly at the general election
last November, the people adopted an
amendment 10 the constitution authoriz-
ing the legislature TO confer judiciai pow
ers upon The Railroad Commission. The
crude manner Ia which this amendment
was drawn is the cause of the serious en-
barrassmcnt now worrying the legislature.
The only legislation that can be enacted
upon this subject must be based upon the
amendment, and il cOntemplates nothing
less than the giving of absolute and final
judicial powers to the commission. The
special joint committee-composed of five
of the ablest men in the two houses, Sen
atOrs Myers and Carson, and Representa-
tives Palmer, Raney and L'Engle-at-
tempted to draw a moderate bill which
would prove satisfactory; but when it
came up for consideration, this hope was
soon blasted. The Senate adopted an
amendment comforting absolute and final
judicial powers and the struggle to retain
this provision will decide the fate of the
bill, and in large measure also, the fate
of the Railroad Commission.
There are two serious objections TO Civ
ing the commission such extensive pow
ers. First, il is believed that the federal
courts would undoubtedly pronounce such
legislation unconstitutional, and, second,
it would tend 10 prevent further building
and improvements OF railroads in this
state. Speculation as to the result of the
debate would be the purest guesswork.

GOLD FIELDS OF GUIANA.
Acquired By Great Britain by the
Venezuelan Award.


With the fixing of the boundary the in
security Of title to claims in the gold fields
has now disappeared, and already there
are signs OF revival in that industry. 1t
could not have come at q more opportune
time for the colony. which is feeling very
markedly tho long continued depression Of
its principal industries It has been found
that the colonial revenue can only be kept
up by raising the duties, and this proposal
is meeting with the unanimous opposition
Of the commercial community. The gov
eminent are finding themselves in de
lemma. They have either to raise the du-
ties on imported goods or run deeper in
debt. They wish to do neither, but how
to avoid both is a problem they have to
solve. There Is a strong feeling, both in
New Amsterdam and in Georgetown that
since the boundary Is now fixed, the gov
eminent should reduce their administrative
staff in the Northwest district. That staff
was kept UP to insure British title, in
view of the arbitration regarding the
boundary, but the boundary being now fixed
the need for a strong administrative STAFF
no longer exists. In recent years the poll
icy of the government has been one Of
great economy, and with the present OPP
portunity before them 1t Is almost likely
that some reduction will be effected.
The award retains to England all the
known gold fields in Guiana that have
ever been worked by or under the British,
and this, 1t must be remembered is of SUI
preme Importance from the British point
of view. The only portions within the
Schomburg line awarded to Venezuela are
the Barma point and the district drained
by the Cuyuni and the only English post
that will have to be given up is the Uruan
post on the Cuyuni The Cuyuni district
is practically unknown, but If its potential
wealth is not known, 1t is well known that
1t Is shut up by mountain ranges and ex-
ceedingly difficult to get at, and would
consequently, be difficult to open up The
Barima point, however. Is better known,
and its loss is chiefly to be regretted from
strategic point Of view. The Barima
point is one vast swamp Of mud, and re-
cent traveller to that region has declared
that II England knew what 1t was, she
would not wish for one single foot of It.
The point has, however, been called the

Though unparalleled warm winter
weather had prevailed during November
In the Klondke. the thermometer ranging
most of the time at twenty-five above and
seldom below zero, great preparations for
a general continued development of the
mines on all OF the principal creeks Of the
district were in progress when the City OF
Seattls'a latest Klondike passenger, f. p.
Matheson, left Dawson, December I.
Matheson came to Skagway In thirteen
days, travelling by dog sled. by means OF
which he also brought out about 100
pounds Of mail matter.
During the nrst days Of December.
Matheson reports that the weather grew
colder and that mining had become ex-

passenger, left Dawson December 8. He

ployed in the district this winter. and that
the output will be larger than ever before.
The primitive placer mining method, he
thinks, will not much longer be employed
in the klondike district. Present mining
wages In the Klondike are reported to be
an average Of IS per day and board.

cred no really bad trail until we struck
that portion of the route between Cariboo
and Bennett. There we found nothing but
shore fee on the lake and that in places
very thin. Around these places we, OF
course, had to portage"
Garoutte Is well informed in regard to
Klondke mining. He has been in the dis
trict since 1897 and for some time prior to
his departure he was employed on the
celebrated Berry Bros Eldorado claims.
He personally owns good Dominion creek
mine which he will probably begin develop

in February. Returning, Garoutte will
