A FALSE ALARM.

AS general rule the fulminatiOns
OF the Argus editor are harmless and
rather amusing. His harping on Boss
Lawson and the TRIBUNE gang don't
hurt anybody, and it pleases Whar-
ton immensely. His attempts at
prophesying are dismal failures, ex-
cept when he prophesies about what
has already happened. But last week
he made some false charges that are
really serious. In a column article
he proceeds to ''expose" an alleged
scheme of the TRIBUNE gang" to
gerrymander the commissioner dis
tricts so as to leave Tom Olson of Ed
wards out in the cold. He goes into
trance and projects his astral body
into the private office Of the TRIBUNE
where he discovers the boss and his
assistants. in company with Messrs.
Reigstad and Smithson, engaged in
Matching out this "villainous plot. :"
His righteous soul boils over with in
dignation at the proposed outrage,
and he beholds a mental vision of the
entire population of the county hail
ing him as a new St. George crushing
the dangerous TRIBUNE dragon.
Now what is all this turmoil about?
Last June commissioner Haines pro-
posed a re-districting of the county.
The present districting is eminently
unfair. The first district contains
seven townships and the village of
Willmar, making it both in size and
population disproportionately large.
But the other commissioners desired
to wait till the results of the census
were at hand. There was no attempt
to legislate Tom Olson out of the
district as the proposition was to
make Willmar, St. Johns, Edwards
and Holland one district.
At the last meeting the matter was
brought up by commissioners Haines
again, but he has told US that there
was no motion made as to how the
districts were to be made up.
The statement that the TRIBUNE haG
anything to do with the matter is 3
scurrilous falsehood, manufactured
out of whole cloth, intended to dam.
age this paper and it's publishers
This may sound harsh, but there is nc
other way of explaining the animus
of the attack. The following letter
will bear us out in our statement:

The governor is very happy, for the
most part, in his discussion of state
affairs. He has made reputation as
a specialist on the business of the
state and has been an attentive and
hard-working governor. Although
politically opposed to him, the Jour-
nal is willing to say now, at the out
set of the state campaign, that he has
been a good ernor.-Minneapolis
Journal (Rep.)
The republican editors who have
jumped onto John Lind anent the
management of the prison twine may
find food for thought in the following
article from the pen of that prominent
republican, Sam Langum, editor of the
Preston Times:
"We do not admit or believe that in
the present instance ':the men who fix
the price have laid themselves open
in the charge Of bad business judg.
'nent." They fixed the price at cost,
at the proper time, and can not be
held responsible because circumstan.

demoralized the market. They would
indeed, have been to blame had they
listened to the cry of the fault finde,
and sold twine at a loss to the state
and, instead of being censured, theil
business judgment should be commend
ed. Let Republican campaign
managers and Republican papers leave
the prison twine plant alone. It can
not be successfully dragged into poll
tics in 1900 any more than in '98 and i
we persist we will get the worst of it. ,

"Mr. Bryan is against the trusts,

A short time ago the citizens of Ju- neau decided that they would take steps toward incorporating their town under the provisions of the Carter bill which has lately become law, and filed their petition in the district court at Skagway, stating that their town con- tained an inhabitance of 1900 residing within the limits of the proposed cor poration. Now some of the saloon keepers are taking steps to prove con clusively to this same court that there are less than 1900 people living within two miles of their place of business, and the local papers are kicking be- cause of the discrepancy that will be apparent to the honorable court. It was not necessary that those desiring to incorporate should claim a popula- tion of 1900 in order to accomplish their desire, for Sec. 2l0 reads: Any community having 300 permanent in habitants may incorporate as provided in this act" Now if it is a fact that this claim was made in spirit of brag, gadocio, and there are not 1900 people in the proposed corporate limits, we see no reason why the saloon keeper should pay an additional $500 license to sus- tain this false position. The proper Dlan is tO cOuDt lem. If works both ways

WINDHAM CITY NOTES.


 The weather past week has been very favorable for prospecting and some lodges have been discovered on Spruce and Silver creek which show consider able free gold.
 Mir. Ebner has ten men at work grad ing wagon road to the "Redwing" group of mines about three-quarters of a mile from the beach.
 Messrs. Burger and Peterson came down from near the Little basin Thurs day with some fine specimens of quartz showing free gold. They located two claims.
 Messrs. Kintcel, Scott, Yates and Stewart have finished blasting chau- nel through the rim rock at the head of Silver Creek falls to turn the creek from it's present bed in the canyon. They expect to clean up about S1O.OO per day to the man.
 Messrs. Gribble and Bartley have completed their contract with the Windham Bay Gold Mining company and gone to Juneau.
 The steamer Seaolin will make regu- lar trips here once a week during the summer.
 Dr. Woods came down from Douglas City on the Seaolin about week ago to hunt bear and other wild animals The results of the hunt so far are about two dozen clans and blue jay.
 The Windham Chief Mining company expects to commence the erection of a stamp mill on their property near the glaciers on Spruce creek, some time during the summer.
 Windham bay extends inland about five miles from the northeast end of Prince Frederick Sound, and is about 90 miles south of Juneau. The streams running into the bays-Spruce, Silver and Chuck creeks-are the first streams in which placer gold was discovered in Alaska-about 30 years ago. More or less placer mining has been carried on every year since that time and most of the ground, with the exception of the canyons, has been worked over. The canyons, where the water can be hand led, will pay from 5 to S10 per day to the man, but they cannot be worked successfully without first turning the streams or fiuming.
 Within the last three years miners have been prospecting mostly for quartz and the lodges that have already been discovered will make this one of the best mining camps in Alaska. There are hundreds of small tributaries of Spruce, Silver and Shuck creeks which pan more or less gold, and it is only a matter of time until the lodges that deposited the gold in the gulches will be discovered.

At the meeting of the Douglas Island Chamber of Commerce, held at Oh mans hall on last Friday evening, the Cemetery committee reported through their chairman, Mir. Boyd, as follows:
 DOUGLAS, ALASKA, June 2, 1900,
 To the Douglas Chamber of Commerce:
 We, the committee appointed at the last meeting of this Chamber for the purpose of obtaining a cemetery site, soliciting, etc., as per motion passed at said meeting, make the following re- port as to progress: We first made a trip on what we supposed was the line of road to the ground promised to the town by w. A. Sanders, who claims it by virtue of mining claims; finding it impossible to view it without first mak- ing trail over it, we employed three men, at an expense of 5000, to run a line, straight from the end of Third street toward said ground. The line was run, and as we expected on the start, it struck the bench on which we were promised the site. We found a beautiful site next to the foothill, high, dry and gravelly, overlooking the bay. We there, on a large spruce, claimed the ground with notice; claiming all

the ground to the left of the road on the bench from the gulch where the road strikes the bench, to Lawson creek. This bench when cleared will be as fine a cemetery site as can be found in this part of Alaska. The road from the end of Third street to the bench is about half mile in straight line. It runs almost level, following the line of the terrace. Stumps and brush cover it. It crosses three small ravines or draws; the first one 100 feet wide, second 9 feet wide, third 20 feet. All these will need bridging. About 3GO feet of planking will need to be done from the end of Third street to the old Indian graveyard, where a gray ely ridge commences and runs most of the way to the cemetery site. No more planking will need to be done after the first 3GO feet is passed, with the eXcep tion of the bridges GAS feet of bridgesI This road with a little gravel hauled to some low places will make an excellent thoroughfare both for teams and pleas ure, and continued to Lawson creek, the full length of the cemetery, 1t will be an ornament and source of pleasure and qualification to all of the people of Douglas Island.
 The site can be cleared, we think, at an expense of about s2OO per acre. It is difficult to es innate the cost of road, but we think it can be built, as iudicat- ed. for about S5OO-a road F to l6 feet wide, and three bridges.
 The committee, in view of the sub scriptions on hand for the 4th of July, considered it best to defer circulating subscription until after that event. It will then take the subject up and push it. W. c. BOYD,
