that rescued them, say that the I'M
fortunate men were so nearly on the
verge of madness when they were
picked up that at first fears were en-
tertained for their reason.
The miners started out from Nome
on September Is in their little open
boat, intending to round the cape on
prospecting trip. They were caught
in storm the following day and were
blown far out to sea. The water cask
was knocked overheard and through
out long, lonely week and day,
with alternating sunshine and the
blackness of night, the hopeless men
tossed with death staring them in
the face. The boundless ocean swept
round them on every side. Out and
out they drifted with not strip of
land in sight or the sail of ship to
raise hope for moment, if no more,
in their breasts.
Once or twice there were slight
showers and they were able to catch
few ounces of water in a piece of
canvas sail that was left in the boat.

grow dizzy and delirious. One or the
other would shout. "a sail a sail!"
but the phantom ship would sail away
and the awful stiffness that followed
the sound of their voices would add
to the horror of the loneliness.
After the fifth day the castaways
knew little or nothing. They sat up
right with staring eyes that looked
across the sweep of waters, but saw
nothing. When the Centennial at last
came in sight the men made no eff
fort to attract her attention. Had
they tried they would not have been
able to cry out. If they saw the ship
at all as she came toward them they
believed it but another phantom.
But their helpless little fishing boat
had been seen, and the ship altered
its course until it drew near.
Quickly orders were given to lower
boat, and soon the unfortunate men
were lifted in strong arms and car
ried on board ship
The doctors say that both will re-
cover. The horrible situation of star.
ing death in the face for not mo-
ments, but days, has wrought great
havoc to their nerves, but reason has
returned and good nursing is being
depended upon to restore the unfor-
tunate gold seekers to health.

Proposed Legislation.

piece of legislation likely to at
tract attention at the coming session
OF the legislature is a proposed meas
ure to prevent county officials from
holding the same Office more than two
consecutive terms. A former legisla-
tive body passed bill limiting the
terms of service Of sheriffs and state
and county treasurers to two terms
For some unknown reason the other
offices were not included. At that
time one argument against including
all was the fact that the state was
young and the remuneration for some
of the officers was less than for sheriff
and treasurer. and that there were
some counties in the extreme western
part of the state that did not have
enough attorneys to switch around
from the states attorney and judge of
the county court. That time has
passed, however, and there is de-
mand for a change.
Some county officials have held Office
since the organization of the counties
in which they reside. In few cases
the same office has held for twenty or
more years. The men are. of course,
good officials to be able to fool the
voters SO many years in succession,
but it is argued that there are others
equally as able to fill the positions
and there is no necessity of giving any
one life tenure.

Wild and weird are the tales of suf-
fering that the sea could tell, but
none, perhaps. would be more filled
with the details of mental and bodily
anguish than that which two Alaskan
miners, recently brought to Seattle,
Wash, are now telling.
There are lines of suffering, deep
craven on the faces of Samuel button

days on pitiless sea, in an open boat,

There are voters, even yet, who do
not thoroughly comprehend the Aus

from an inspection of the returns from

which were marked for presidential
electors. In the Sixth district, out of
