Stikeen River journal., 1899-05-20

AN attempt was made by a cer- tain government official to ln- duce the business men of Wran- gel to take sides with the officials as against the JOURNAL. The object was to force this paper to cease it's attack on corrupt em- ployees of the Government. The attempt was a dismal failure and if the person making it had any sense or feeling, he would be thoroughly humilated. It is seldom however, that d person guilty of embazzlam rnt from tho Government would Il .sitate at an act which would redound to his discredit.
Stikeen River journal., 1899-05-20

an honest upright Commissioner capable of a correct intrepreta- tion of the law and fearless in administering it. A corrupt "grafter" in an official position can always find ways and means of defeating the ends of justice, especially as long as the fee sys- tenn is in vogue. Charges upon charges have been filed at Wash- ington against the present in cumbent of the Commissioners otfice-Fred Page Tustin, but so far no relief has been granted. Such a condition can not last for ever and sooner or later there will be a change, and welcome one to every honest citizen in Wrangel
Stikeen River journal., 1899-05-20

IF the officials in Wrangel profess to be honest in their of ticial acts, the easiest way to ex- tricate themselves from their present position is to ask for an impartial Investigation. The Wrangel Chamber of Commerce. would no doubt be willing to take upon itself the responsibility of such investigation and the JOUR NAL will agree in advance to abide by the result

The habit of si gning bonds for persons charged with crime appears to be epidemic in our midst. It is the duty of all citi- zens to use great care m this matter to the end that no guilty man may escape. TT q fact that the Commissioner at Wran"el is willing to make the amount of bonds rediculouslN low consider ing the crime charged, as in the case of "Bad' Mike. is no excuse for persons si"ning' such bonds; on the contrary all good citizens should join int erests and make d united effort to support law and order regardless of the fact that justice appears to be sold as by the yard.

THE news that Wrangel is to lose the boys of Co. II 14th. h. fantry who have been stationed here for the last year, comes as great disappointment to all our citizens. The boys have been exemplary in their actions and have won the respect of all the people of Wrangel, They will carry with them the best wishes of our citizens for themselves and their efficient Captain.
Stikeen River journal., 1899-05-20

IF will be a great surprise to the citizens of Wrangel to know to what extent the laws are be ing violated almost daily by the Court Commissioner at this place Nearly every person who is arrested for breaking the law is charged with a violation of Section 674, of the Oregon Code, the full text of which Section we publish in another column. As matter of fact the Commissioner at Wrangel has no jurisdiction of cases tried under this Section. The Section itself is a sort of drag g-net, and is made to apply to almost every con
 ceivable offence. Men who should be sent to Sitka are brought up and given a small fine. on payment of which they are let off to continue their vio- lation of law and receive another fine. The object is plain to every one who has been interes- ted enough to watch the trend of events. It is summed up in one word-COSTS. Law break i.l'' U.ill never cease till we have

TIE history of Fred Page Tustin is that of a perpetual of flee seeker, never satisfied unless feeding at the public crib, and like most others of the same kind he is probably incapable of earning d living o1l of o1ire. Certainly in opan composition among mon in the legitimate walks of life, his brains Woald bring him a small return on the time invested.

HER

The poet to the contrary n~otwithstand-
ing, there are occasions when sit might
have BEEN are joyful words. Most men.
upon meeting again in after years their
first loves, realize this and offer up
prayers of thanksgiving.
In the early days of the Pacific coast
Hurlburt vas stationed at San Diego. 1t
was a picturesque little town. It's streets
We're not much more than cowpaths, and
it's houses We're mostly of the good old
p~attern-adobes. one story high, and
built around a patio.
In such a house as this lived Manuela
Lopez. and in one of the cowpath streets
Hurlburt first met her.
Hurlburt had just come from inspec-
ton and was on his way to take dinner
with his friends in town. He still wore
his regimentals. and was a very gor-
geous sight, indeed.
Inspiration struck full upon Manuela's
brain and she dropped her rosary. From
which it may be inferred that the love of
the fathers and the wisdom of ages have
taught women nothing new in affairs of
the heart.
Hurlburt, of course, was close to Manu-
ella when the rosary dropped. He re-
turned it to her. If she had not been with
a servant he might have spoken. Then he
raised his helmet and passed on.
You expect men of Latin and Slay races
to make fools of themselves. But the
Anglo-SaXon is such a thoroughly logical.
reasonable. clear-headed person that the
bottom of the universe drops out when he
deViates from the path of common sense.
And when he does it is never a mere di-
GressiOn.
