CLAIMS AT CAPE NOM E
THE SENATE DISCUSSES THE RIGHTS
OF LAPLANDERS.
Mr.. HansbrouGh's Amendment to the
Alaskan Civil Code
Bill.

The Senate resumed consideration of the
Alaskan civil code bill yesterday afternoon
after it had disposed OF the Indian appro-
priation bill
Mr.. Hansbrough proposed the following
amendment:
THAT no persons who are not citizens of
the United States, or who, prior to making
location had not legally declared their in
/ tcntion to become such, shall be permitted
to locate hold or convey mining claims in
said district of Alaska nor shall any title
to a mining claim acquired by location or
purchase through any such person or per
sons be legal
The amendment precipitated a lively de-
bate. 1t was developed that some mining
claims had been located at Cape Nome by
Laplanders who had gone to Alaska on the
relief expedition 10 take care of herd of
reindeer. 1t was stated that some of these
Laplanders had made application TO be-
come American citizens before the United
States commissioner in Alaska. They To-
Gated claims in the Cape Nome district.
later they disposed of the claims.
Mr.. Stewart protested against the adop-
ton of the amendment. He said that one
D. Lane had acquired some Cape Nome
claims from the Laplanders who had To-
Gated them and had expended upon them
about 100000 Should the amendment be
adopted, he said, Mr.. Lane would lose not
crly the claims, but all he had invested in
them. Subsequent to the location of the
claims by the Laplanders the claims were
relocated by other miners, who now claim
possession CT them. The adoption of the
amendment II was said, would give the re-
lccators the claims.
Mr. Teller held that the Laplanders had
ar undoubted right to the claims they had
located.
Mr. Daniel CVa.) opposed the amendment
Mr. Hansbrough said the Laplanders had
located from 1000 to 1000 acres Of placer
claims on the various creeks in the district.
They were not American citizens. Later,
American citizens arrived in the district.
and finding all the richest claims located
By aliens they relocated them. As Amer
iCan citizens they claimed only their rights.
So far as he personally was concerned, Mr..
Hansbrough said. he had no interest in the
claims, direct or indirect, contingent re-
mote.
Mr. Teller maintained that 1t made no
difference whether the Lapianders were
citizens of the United States or not While
the law was that only citizens OF the United
States could locate mining Claims, the ques-
ton of citizenship could be raised only by
the United States, and it was well under
stood the United States would never raise it.
The pending bill WAS laid aside without
further debate.
Mr. Hoar gave notice that Tuesday.
April II. he would address the Senate on
the Philippine question.
A bill was passed granting the right of
way TO the Minneapolis and Manitoba Rail-
road Company across the coded portion of
the Chippewa (Red lake. Indian reservation
in Minnesota.
Then, at 5:45 pm, the Senate adjourned.

Enforcing the Law Against Selling 1t

Consul Albion w. Tourgee at Bourdeaux

trouble about the sale of oleomarga rine in
France. In a recent trial before the civil

considered light, this being rather in the
nature Of test case
The law upon the subject has been in
force about three years, but not until re-
Gently have active measures been taken for
It's enforcement. This the consul believes
to be prompted by the fact of the trade in
French butter with England being affected,
or else because the Importation of oleo-
margarine is becoming prejudicial to the
home market.
1t is suggested that American manufac-
turers exporting to France would do we'll
to label their products very clearly in
French, giving the name of the product and
the manufacturer, the place of manufac-
ture and weight Of package. The consul
says the term "butterine'' or any other En-
glish word that would lead one to believe
the article even in part butter should be
avoided

NAPHTHA STREET LIGHTING.
Mr.. Dodge Addresses Inquiry to Dis.
trict Com m sfOners.


A letter was addressed to the District
Commissioners several days ago by Mr.. w.
c. Dodge, relative to naphtha lighting. in
which he recommended that an early deci-
sion be made as to whether the tanks and
burners shall during the coming fiscal year
be furnished by the contractor or by the
District. Commissioner Wight, who has
immediate supervision of the street lighting
department, agreed with the superintend-
ent Of the department that the company
securing the contract for supplying naphtha
lights should be required to furnish the
burners and tanks. 1t being explained that
the burners considered best for naphtha
lamps cannot be purchased.
Mr.. Dodge has addressed another COM
munication to the Commissioners upon the
subject, asking why 1t Is they do not call
for the best burner, and in time to enable
the successful bidder to obtain 1t. He thinks
IL 1t We're the intention to SO manage this
matter of naphtha lighting that it shall be
continued in the hands of the present out
side contractor: to the exclusion IN OF the citi-
NZens Of the DISTRICT, 1t is difficult to see
how 1t could be more effectually accom-
piished than by adopting Mr.. Wight's view.
1T Is obvious" says Mr.. Dodge, that the
Of light will enable the contractor to make
lower bid. and why should not the Dis
trict have the benefit of this? Why should
not the District have the best burner and
There are. Mr.. Dodge believes. several
matters in connection with naphtha light
ing for the District which would seem to
require investigation. as. for instance. how
1T was and why the lamps and burners
owned by the District were allowed to be
dismantled by the company which former
ly had the contract. and the company al
lowed to substitute Its own? Why is it not
as desirable for the District to own the
naphtha lamps as for 1t to own the gas
lamps? Why the present contractor was
permitted to use a burner which the super
intendent has stated and experience shows
to be inferior? Why, in a former year, the
contract was awarded to the highest bid
der on the ground that the test showed
his burner and the nsphtha furnished to
give an excess of light over that Of the
lowest bidder, while. in hast years award
when the tests showed much greater ex-
cess. cess. no consideration was given to that
THESE" says NE Dodge, "are all mat
ters in which the citixeps and taxpayers are
interested, and 1t would seem that they
should receive the eareful consideration OF
the board ,(of Coiamissioners).

feeding and watering yourself in an in
telllgent manner.
Liverymen are often to blame for the
wearing out of their animals by the
manner in which they let them go ont
with IN fitting harness. Sometimes the
tugs are too long, the neckyoke connec.
tions too short, the collars too large OF
too small, the pole OF the vehicle too
long, or no breeching TO hold back when
the road il over big hills. The most
devilish device to torture horse-and II
is used 10y great many who drive their
own animals--is the breast.strap har.
ness combined with the overhead check.
When pulling load up hill the horses
chest Ii drawn together, and instead Of
throwing his weight into the harness rs
he naturally would, he must pull the
load-usually a heavy top buggy-on hls
tiptoes with his head away up in the air.
This strains the animals back and will
ruin the best horse in time. A breast
harness is bad enough at any time but
in combination with the oyercheck it is
simply torture and slow death. The
fact is II liverymen would abolish the
overhead check they would have few il
any horses come home dead, Any horse
will travel farther, tire less, and do bet
ler ON whatever he gets to eat without
the overcheck. These suggestions are
not offered as criticism but out of love

cpunLrlns THAT ARE pRAcrIcED
ON LIVERY HORSES

ON LlNENr HOfoto
A livery horse driven to death, com
ing home and dropping dead in the
stall, is an occurance that calls mp the
various cruelties practiced on horses that
are kept TO be hired out to anyone who
wants TO use them. We will not "a
into details Of how the latest victim q
this kind OF cruelty was killed, how iaI
he was driven, how long he went with
out water, how he may have been
matched with an animal of much greater
spirit, and far greater speed and endur'
Ance. Livery men are compelled by
competition to keep class of horses
that are used 10 such treatment. They
cannot keep the best horses just because
they are continually liable to abuse,
They cannot always match teams 80
that they will work perfectly even.
The abuse Of over.driying is ~ com
mon that this article is not written to
censure the man who drove the team
here referred to. lie did no more than
most people do who hire livery team.
The circumstances were 40 that in his
case II produced fatality. People who
hire livery team are too often imbued
with the idea that mere payment OF the
bill exonerates them from all further re-
lponsibility. That is not true. In the
frst place there is a law against over
driving, over loading or overpulling II
horse. That law is against the person
who is driving or in charge Of the an
imal, not against the man who let's the
team out for hire. As rule IL ie no
more needed than Choctaw Indian
would heed the rule of Sunday school,
That law should be enforced few times,
when persons bring in u livery team
faded, and wringing with perspiIation,
and 10 completely worn out that they
can't eat OF stand up with comfort for
"a hours. II Is an outrage ON the laws
aud common decency TO treat a team
that way, and think You have squared
the bin by paying 81.
Livery teams are not only shameiully
oyer-driyen, but as a rule are neglected.
Drivers think nothing Of cracking them
along twenty OF thirty miles up Hill and
down, without stopping to breathe, to
say nothing OF giving them drink of
water, even il they pass hall dozen
places where they might have il for
merely turning out OF the road mo.
ment. Then at the end of the drive the
team is not always taken care of, Ii
may be turned into filthy barn, given
feed OF musty oats, or dirty chopped
feed II may get neither hay nor water,
or both may be bad This is not always
the case, because stablemen as a rule
are more humane than those who hire
tams But il is frequently the case,
and there is no way 10 prevent these
abuses 10 animals but 10 look after the
