year Car shortage on our line Is not
altogether due to the business boom The
nature or our business Is such that We
are bound to have a scarcity of cars at
this period and more than enough equip

Should We have on hand all the equipment
necessary In the fall would have a
great deal of II lying idle later on. The
car shortage at this time. however, is
worse than usual and have no doubt
that many industries along our line have
suffered In consequence. The most OF
the business that we seem TO have lost
has been merely deferred. The farmers
in the west are spending money freely
The best possible evidence OF this is the
great increase in our passenger receipts
All our increase this month has been

there Is no good reason why things
should remain ms they are. What l
would suggest II that laws should be
made for that county similar to those We
mad In the Birch creek district, back OF
circle city. before civil government was
introduced into Alaska. and these, I think
could be made and enforced without sert-
ously interfering with any vested rights.
These laws were made by the miners who
learned BY experience what was best
adapted TO the conditions and circum-
stances that then prevailed.
A man was never allowed 10 hold more
than one claim. unless acquired by pur-
chase and that not more than 600 feet In
length; and that claim had To be repre-
scented during the month OF July II II was
summer dtggings, and during the month
of March IL IL was winter digxiugs. Now,
all the claims I'm the Cape Nome coun-
try are summer digRings, / would sug-
gest that law be passed that all claims
should be represented during the month
Of July next or say from July Is to Au-
gust IL. and any claim there was not
man on every day during that time
should be declared vacant and open for
relocation. II would give every one who
went into that country tn the spring an
opportunity IN see what ground could be
taken and what could not be taken. Any
man then that had n great number OF
claims could pick out the one that ne
thought the best and hold IL; and IL no
thought others that he located were good.
he could hire man to represent IL for
him.
The result Of the passage of such a law
would be that about - per cent. OF all the
ground now staked would be open for re-
location next summer, and a chance would
be given to those who went there In the
spring 10 do some mining and those who
located by power OF attorney would only
lose the time they spent In stalking ana
the money they spent for recording. and

is NOT A LABORER.
The Chinese Conjurer Can Stay as Long
as He Pleases.

Chicago April 26.-Ching Ling Foo the
Chinese conjurer, and his troupe were dis
charged to-day from the custody of the
United States authorities by United States
District Judge kohlsaat who thereby de-
termined an important point in the atti-
tude of the United States government to-
wards Chinese actors and performers. Be
cause he is an actor. and not a laborer,
it is decided that the alien labor law does
not apply to the conjurer. The Chinaman
came to this country under the proVi-
sons of special act of congress admit
ting laborers and others for the purpose
of participating in the construction and
opera ton of exhibits at the Omaha expo
sition. and providing they should leave at
the close of the exposition. Because he
did not return to China, Ching Ling Foo
was arrested while under an engagement
with the Hopkins circuit of theaters. An
application for writ of habeas corpus
followed. Judge Kohlsaat, in the decision
rendered to-day. holds that the alien la
Dor law does not apply to performers in
the same sense as laborers. The ruling is
final and the troupe will be permitted to
remain in this country as long as they
choose.
