HOW A CLAIM PAID.
One Way of Getting Money without
Planning IL Out.

"There are more ways of making
money off claim than panning 1t
out" said an Alaska miner who had
some luck with his pick and shovel.
For Instance, l knew man Of means
in the Dawson district who had a
claim which had failed to be as profit
able as expected, and he didn't know
just what to do with it to get his
money back until he had devoted con-
siderable thought to it. And it was SIM
pie enough when he knew how.
"He quietly went to the gold COM
missioner and announced that he wish
ed to pay his 10 per cent royalty on the
product of his claim for year, which
was $4,000. The commissioner ac-
cepted the $4,000 royalty and gave him
the usual receipt, stating on its face
what it was for, with the number Of
the claim, location. etc.
"Then he waited patiently about
like Mary's little lamb, and one day, in
the course Of human events, an Eng
lishman came along looking for a good
thing for some people who had money
to spend. He asked Mr.. Blank, among
others, what he had to sell, and the
smooth gent told him he didn't know
exactly. but he would show him his
goods. They looked over several
claims that were practically unworked,
and then In casual way Mr.. Blank
showed the Englishman his receipt
for royalty on claim SO and SO. And,
you know, he said, with a wink, that
man isn't paying royalty on any
more than he can possibly help.
'"The Englishman was right on to
that little game, Of course, and he
sized up the $4,000 receipt, looked over
the claim in a general way and ended
by buying 1t for $3.50, O00."-Washing

70 ANNOUNCE SITES
FOR ALASKA LIGHTS
Commission To Make Known
Locations October |.
TWO WILL BE BUILT
Many Points at Which Light House
Board Had Decided to Put Houses
Had To BE Abandoned Because
OF Reduction of Appropriation.

The location for the two light houses
it is proposed to build with the $780,
600 appropriated by the last. congress
for Alaska light stations will be an
nounced on the first of October. Com
mander VIM. P. Day, of the navy, and
Captain Langbitt, of the army, who
were in Alaska last summer on the
revenue cutter Grant, as commission
to make the selections. have about com
pleted their work and will have their
report ready by the first OF the month.
Major r. L. 1oxie, secretary engineer
of the lighthouse board, has griev-
ance against the seth congress. At the
last session of congress the lighthouse
board recommended that $3.50, be
appropriated for lighthouses and fog
signal stations in Alaskan waters.
Later, having received so many letters
from the Pacific coast urging the neces-
sity of more safeguards than the $780,
900 would provide, the board asked, in
"a letter, that the amount of the appro-
priation be increased to 100000.
Confidently lelying upon the gener-
osity OF congress to appropriate this
$500, O00," he says, "you may judge of
our disappointment when an appropria-
tion for only one-fifth of this amount
was allowed. Still, we may get the
balance as soon as the excitement of
the election dies away and when there
is no further need for economy and re-
trenchment,"
The localities selected by the board,
as stations, were at Eldred Rock, Rails
ton Island. Point Retreat, Point Gard>
ner, Cape Ommaney, Point Stanhope,
Fairway Island, Guard island, Mary
Island. Cape Fox and Cape Fanshaw.
When the appropriation was cut down
to 100000, however, these stations
were stricken out of the bill and per-
mission was given the board to locate
Two stations wherever it Thought adj
vieable TO do so.

Wanted: A Straight Democrat.

To the Editor: The convention WHICH
meets In Raleigh on Thursday, the 6th'
has a very Important duty to perform
It would be we'll to make no mistake.
In our opinion the nomination OF Mr. AL
water for Congress in this district Woulu
be a mistake, and for this opinion We
have the following reasons:
We are just through with a most eX-
acting. exciting campaign. The reaction
incident upon such campaign is one OIL
the things we have to overcome in the
Presidential campaign just openins IN
the State 1t is going to be very nAi-
ficult matter to rouse our voters up 10
the necessary degree of enthusiasm so
soon after the past election. To any OBJ
servant man there is apparent an ap-
afhy that is both dangerous and alarm
ing.
The strongest, most stalwart Demo-
Gratis and campaigners we have are go
ing to find difficulty in getting out the
vote.
All of US know that Mr.. Atwater is not
popular with the rank and file of Demo-
cratic voters. Not that they have any
thing personally against him, but his polit-
ioal record does not commend him to the
etaIwart Democracy. They remember
too distinctly the days of '95 to 81 in
nTortb Carolina. the calamity and ruin
of which Mr.. Atwater was largely re-
sponsible for. To these men there was
not ANYTHING in the conduct of the Demo
cratic party that justified or excused any
good Democrat for leaving his party.
When Mr.. Atwater goes out upon his
canvass, if he should be nominated, and
makes protestations of his Democracy, ms
hearers will be apt to contrast his utter
ances with his conduct. He Will not, ana
in the very nature of things cannot,
arouse any enthusiasm. Besides thls' nc
has, in the campaign just over, maoe
some very indiscreet speeches. that are
being quoted against him by those VINO
heard them. At more than one place. ne
declared that he was still as good Pop-
ulist as he had ever been. That ne had
no regrets nor apologies to make TOT
his having been a Populist, for that ne
was still one, but that he was IN mar
mony with the Democrats IN support Oh
the amendment These things, Whlle
more creditable to him than another po-
litical sumersault, would have been, are
not sayory things to say to Democrats
who yet smart from the wounds lnnlcted
upon the State by fusion.
Mr.. Atwater cannot expect 10
get the full Democratic vote He
is. at the polls, decidedly the weak
est man named. His nomination sounds
too much like a deal to be popular even
if he were Democrat.
of course VIC have our favorite in the
race, but favorite or no favorite, we do
beg the privilege OF voting for a straight
Democrat for Congress We are surely
in this district, entitled to that privilege

NOMINATION FOR ELECToR.
All Three of Wakes Candidates Are Confident
of Caucus Endorsement.

All three of Wake county's candi-
dates for elector are confident of sue
cess in the Wake county caucus to-
morrow morning. Messrs. Beckwith
and Fields are especially strong in
their claims, each alleging that he
has a clear majority with votes to
spare.
/ Of course this cannot be true. Some
body is mistaken; but Just who it is
will not be known till the caucus takes
a vote.
81 am we'll satisfied with the situa-
ton said Mr.. Beckwith yesterday.
Il have seen great many of the del
egates; my friends have seen many
for me, and as nearly as ! can figure
it | will get very nearly two-thirds of
the vote from the county and a good
support from Raleigh. My vote will
be much smaller, comparatively, in
the city than in the county.
''Of course the vote of majority
of Wake delegates does not necessar-
lily mean a nomination by the conven-
ton, but it does mean, under our
agreement, that whoever gets it will
be Wake county's candidate for the
position. And thai means, take it,
that the convention will ratify the
choice"
"And why?" | asked.
"WeH, we have no monopoly on the
position declared Mr.. Beckwith,
''but it is generally conceded, | be
lieve, that Wake is this time entitled
to the nomination for elector if she
wants it. For long term of years
she has had no candidate before this
convention. This year she has no can
didate for Congress. Besides, the
county being a very large one, with
the vote uncomfortably close under
normal conditions, it would be good
politics to strengthen the ticket here
by putting on it Wake county man.
But it takes time and money to
make the canvass as elector, and there
is no salary or remuneratiye attached
to the position?''

PARTY Owes Atwater Nothing.

ITO the Editor: The advocates of Mr.
Atwater say that he has claim upon
the Democratic party. l deny it, he
ran as an independent Populist two years
ago. and his friends are trying TO tack
on Independent Populist term ON to
regular term secured by a Democratic
nomination, let the tail wag the dog ana
call it precedent If this is 'prece-
dent" away with it. Again his admirers
say that Mr.. Atwater saved the dis
trict in 1885, Saved it for what? 1t
seems that he saved it for the Populists,
to which party he belongs. II, as MI.
Atwater's friends argue, 1--WE can't elect
a straight Democrat" if the district was
ever saved it has suddenly fallen from
grace. Again they say Atwater canVassed
for the amendment. Mr. Editor this IS
no more than any white man ought TO
have done. Did he not have an eye on
his seat in Congress while he was max
ing this canvass, while hundreds OF 9TH
ers who had less ready money went up
and down the State. with the cry OIL
White Supremacy? While other argu-
ments are advanced in his favor space
forbids going into detail, and they, like
those mentioned, will be found supported
by false premises. The true premises
are these: Mr.. Atwater is a Populist q
am informed that in the last campaign he
announced himself as such), He seeks
a nomination for Congress at the hands
of Democratic convention, which en-
braces the capital city of the State,
There are good and true and tried Demo-
Gratis who want the nomination. Now
build upon these premises and let us
have your conclusions. Populism is as
dead as Hector in North Carolina if this
Congressional convention dominates a
Democrat Populism is alive in, North
Carolina for many years if said conven-
tion dominates a Populist. No other
Congressional district in North Carolina
is fooling with anything of this kind.
Why should we? Is this metropolitan
district to be the rotten spot on the APP
pie? Populism is the enemy of Democ-
racy in whatever form it comes, and
the sooner we stamp it out in North
Carolina the better for US / predict,
