HAUGEN's sAvAGERY.


John G. Spooner in his speech at
the [. S. w. A. convention at
West Superior week ago are
inclined to wonder why the gen
tleman should take advantage of
his invitation to speak before the
convention of a fraternal society
upon political matters. The at
tack on Spooner was vindictlve
and small, and was entirely out
of place in such a gathering
Haugen once represented this
district in Congress and his rec
ord was as good as the average
representative, but possessed no
extraordinary merit. He was
retired by the people and for
many years had his principal
distinction in appearing as a
sore-head politician. Finally he
was picked up by Governor La
Toilette, and is now one of the
members of the state tax COM
mission. Being next to the
Governor it looks very much as
though his attack on Spooner
was at the dictation or sugges-
ton of no less a person than the
Governor himself. The TIMES
has defended the Governor upon
many occasions when he was at
tackled for things he had done,
and has practically stood with
him on all his measures except
the primary Election experiment,
but if he and Haugen are en-
deavoring to use their influence
and prestige, as appears appar
ent, for the purpose of replacing
so gallant and so brilliant a man
as John G. Spooner, with a man
like Isaac Stephenson, whose
sole merit lies in the size of his
bank account, then we believe it
time for all good republicans to
put a damper on such disas-
trous politics. There has been a
rumor to the effect that Haugen
himself has the colossal nerve
to aspire to the |. Senator
ship to succeed Spooner, brt it
seems impossible to believe that
his political friends would per-
NIT this. The Superior Leader
expresses itself emphatically in
regard to Mr.. Haugen's speech,
and says:
"There was any amount of
gossip on the streets yesterday
in reference to the speech of
Hon. Nils P. Haugen last Sun
day. The scathing vindictive
against the record of John G.
Spooner, charging the senior
senator with being a corporation
man and having no interests in
common with the people, and the
fact that the ex-congressman
comes directly from Governor
LaFollette has led the friends
of Senator Spooner to believe
that the visit of Mr.. Haugen to
this city at this time has politi-
cal significance attached to it.
The profuse yituperation heaped
upon the name of our senior SEN
ator in Mr.. Haugen's speech
here Sunday is said to be most
unjust and can only come from
one who is out for something
politically.
at is noised about that the ex-
congressman from this district
is himself a candidate for the
United States Senatorship and
took this occasion to set the
wheel going in his interests.
ssThe friendsof Senator Spoon
.er, however, are not disposed to
accept the vituperation of Mr..
.Haugen as the truth. They say
that John G. Spooner, his work
an he past and the position that
he at present maintains on the
issues of the day are sufficient
to diSroll any critical illusions |

DIX between UIlO OIIlUco oU0OOo
Steel Trust and the Amalgamat-
ed Association for the purpose
of settling the strike adjourned
with no hope of an agreement
being reached. At the conclu-
sion of the conference one of the
principal officers OF the steel
trust said: "It will be fight to
the finish. No quarter will be
given. We are prepared to spend
all the money and time necessary
to wipe out the Amalgamated
Association in all our mills. Z On
the other side the Amalgamated
people say "that all negotiations
with the United States Steel cor
poration are closed. x Now
the matter will be fought to a
final issue unless we are sent for
by the officials of the corpora
ton. !" There are 100000 en-
ployes of the steel trust, and
they may yet all feel the effects
of the strike. The struggle may
spread to other branches of in
dustry, where workmen in other
lines may refuse to handle the
material in the trades that comes
from the trust mills. The trust
will make an effort to operate
their mills with non union men,
but they realize that the PROPOSE
ton is hard one. However the
plutocrat Morgan who has mas
tered the world of finance has
now set his efforts to control the
world of labor, and if there is
any such thing as crushing out
organized labor in his institu-
tons he will do it. The great
labor interests on the other hand,
know that they are right in or
ganizing, and believe their de-
mands to be entirely just. The
people, too, are with them, and
they are going at matters with a
cool determination that ought to
win. The day and age when
labor is to be treated with utter
unconcern has passed, and the
sweat of the poor mans brow,
piling up wealth for the aristoc-
racy and the capitalists, is not
to be Ignored. Labor unions
may sometimes be unreasonable
in their demands, but their mis-
takes are no greater or more fire.
quent than those of capital. A
great trust that has been grow
ing enormously rich off the coun-
try now seeks to squelch the
Just demands of it's labOrers. 1t
is time that legislation of some
kind were enacted to control such
extraordinary greed, and give to
labor its inherent rights.

HANS F'ULEY, of Hayward, is
an avowed candidate for the re-

treasurer. F'uley is one of the
mostpopular Scandinavian Amer

His candidacy will nc doubt be

Snohomish county officers are troub-
led over the work of alleged prospectors
for OIL lands who file on the forest re-
serve for the sake of the valuable timber.
According to the opinions of experts in
the government land office this is sharp
practice, and viii not hold A repre-
sentative of the land office said:
This office knows of no authority
for going on this forest reserve for any
other purpose than mining, and the
superintendent of that reserve is pre-
sumed to have ample authority to not
trespassers to vaeate. Relative to the
laws governing the location of oil
claims, proper location of oil lands
would come under the mining reguIa-
tIons covering placer claims, but there
IS no authority to justify any one in
dIsposing of the timber on such land
prior to acquiring title. This, however
does not prohibit the locator from using
such timber as may be necessary for
carrying ON the business of mining or
operating for OIL
There is no law regulating the dis
posai of timber on public lands that
permits any one to locate thereon for
the purpose of acquiring title to the
land for its timber; as all lands sold for
timber are disposed of under the act of

Preparing For Harvest Of Gold

More than twenty-nlillion dollars
worth of gold dust and bullion, out of
a total output of thirty-three and a
half millions, mined in Alaska. the
Klondike, British Columbia and the
Northwestern states, passed through
the Puget Sound assay office during the
year 1900; and there is now every pos
sible indication that nearly thirty mil
lion dollars worth of the same precious
metal, out of prospective output OF
forty-eight millions, will pass through
the assay office as the result of the
present years cleanup,
The present season is already far
enough advanced to enable a fair esti-
mate to be made of the probable output
for 1901, and although many reports
are coming out of Alaska and the
klondike which place the output at
fully so per cent greater than last year
among the more conservative mine
operators of the various districts the be
lief Is gaining ground that the increase
over last years output, from all sources,
will be about one-third; that is to say,
where the 1900 output footed up total
of So, $50 900, this year it is expected
to reach total of s44, 200, 600.
The Nome district alone is expected
to double its last years production and
give total of $4,000, 600. The KIon-
dixie district is estimated to give about

HANDSOMEST LADY
In the City in an Impartial Con-
test Preliminary to the Choos-
ing of the Fairest Daughter of
the Territory Embraced in the
Louisiana Purchase.

Mrs E: r. Waller is the hand
somest lady in Vinita, being so
decided by vote in which all the
people, irrespective of whether
they were Chieftain subscribers or
not, were invited to participate.
The contest for the purpose Of
honoring the handsomest lady re-
siding in the territory acquired by
the Louisiana purchase, was in
auguraled by the Globe-Democrat
of St. Louis.
That paper requested the lead
ing paper Of the towns and cities OF
the states and territories included
in the purchase to ascertain the
name Of the prettiest lady-mar
ried or single-in their several
localities. Each state and terri
tory will send representative to
St. Louis, she being furnished a
chaperon and all her expenses
paid, where she will receive many
social honors.
From the aggregation of beauty
the handsomest lady in the sc-
quired territory will be chosen.
Not by standing them in line, but
by an unannounced committee who
will, without impertinence, view
the charms of the ladies at a swell
reception at which all the worlds
notables in St. Louis at the time
of the exposition will be present.
To represent Indian Territory a
lady will be chosen by commit
tee from the photographs of the
choice of each town.
The contest was arranged so
that the poorest could compete
with the richest. Only one vote
was allowed each individual. This,
of course, debarred any person
from purchasing large number
Of papers and voting a bulk OF
coupons for their especial favorite.
No person interested in the re-
suit was permitted to be present
when the ballots were counted be-
cause each ballot bore the name of
the voter, and it was desired that
no lady mentioned should know
who had failed to vote for ber.
Mr.. Keller Walker supervised
the counting Of the votes.
Mrs. j. r. Carselowey was Sec
ond choice.
Here is the vote:
Mrs. E. r. Waller, 166; Mrs. J.
r. Carselowey, lO7; Mrs. Claude
Walton, 81; Miss Fannie Knight,
55; Miss Carrie Van Pelt, 50; Miss

FEDERAL COURT.
The First Session Convened at Mus
kogee Twelve Years Ago.

ago today, the first United States
court ever opened in the Indian
territory, and what is now Okla
homa territory, was opened in old
Phoenix hall 10 the town OF Mus
kogee, says the Times of that city.
On the morning of April 1st,
Judge James M. Sbackelford,
United States Attorney z 7. Wal
rond, United States Marshal T. B.
Needles and the clerk of the
United States court tor the Indian
territory, William Nelson, arrived
on the early morning train about
seven O'Clock. They were met at
the depot by a committee of the
citizens, headed by c w. Turner,
and conducted into the dining hall
which was then kept by J. II. Nc
Quarie. now of Wagner, near
where the Union depot hotel now
stands.
Each of the court officials above
named wore silk hat when they
stepped off the train, and after
they bad eaten their breakfast they
were conducted TO some rooms
that had been prepared for them
in a building just north Of where
the Union Depot hotel now stands
and, after they had been assigned
10 their quarters, Mr.. G. w. Turn
or called Mr.. Noodles TO one side
and told him in a very confident
ial way that they had better leave
their silk hats in their rooms as
the COW boys were liable to take a
crack at them if they wore them
up town. That was the last that
was ever seen of those plug hats.
Col. Needles says he gave his to a
negro, and we think it is the one
that Ketch Lorin wears around
town now.
About 10 o'clock the officials,
together with large number of
lawyers who bad congregated here,
went to the old Phoenix ball where
court was opened by the above
named officials, Rev. B. Y. Brice,
OF the Methodist church, at this
place, opened the court with pray
er.
The court was only in session
short time on the morning OF the
first when it adjourned to meet on
the morning OF the second. Judge
Shackleford and Maj. Walrond
formulated rules governing the
admission of attorneys to
practice in the court which were
promulgated that evening aud on
Tuesday morning large number
of lawyers were admitted to prac-
tice, among them Maj. Walrond,
who was the first lawyer admitted
to practice in the court, d. Stew
art Elliott, of Coffeyville, Kansas,
who was killed a year ago in the
Philippines, was the second, T.
N. Foster, of South McAlester,
the third, N. B. Maxey, Of Mus
kogee was No. 4 and W. A. Pasco,
w. M. Harrison, j C. Rails, S. E.
Jackson, Col. E. c. Boudinat and
others.
The first case filed in the
United States court was filled by
E. c. Boudinot and was a replevin
case Tor a stallion, and Bud 7. Kell
served the writ as deputy of Mar
shall Needles, and it was amusing
to hear Marshal Needles instruct
Bud how to serve the writ.
The first case tried in the United
States court by a jury was the
case Of George Waller vs.. r. NJ.
Gilmore, and tried on the Srd day
