COLLECTOR IVEY HERE

Ex collector J. W. Ivey arrived
here on the Str. Bertha and will
make Valdez his future home. and
will have residence built here this
winter.
MIR. Ivey, as usual, is enthusias-
tic about Alaska, and especially the
Valdez country. He has predicted
for several years that on Valdez
bay would some day be the metrop-
oils and capital OF Alaska, and his
prediction is coming true.
While in Washington few
months ago Mr.. Ivey had long
conference with President Roose-
welt regarding the needs of Alaska,
and he so impressed the President
that he requested Mr.. Ivey to pu;
his statement in writing. This was
done and Mr.. Ivey received letter
from the president thanking him
for his information and asking him
to he in Washington at the coming
session to appear before the various
committees and present the needs
of this country.
The president promised to aid in
securing the needed laws for this
district, and it is believed that
Alaska legislation will be among
the first ODE taken up.
After short trip to the interior,
where he has mining interests, Mr..
lvey will return to Washington in
time for the opening session OF
Congress and urge and assist in
passing laws for this District.
He is in favor of u delegate to
Congress, the extension OF the land
laws to Alaska, that the taxes col
lected Ill Alaska he expended in
the district, the aboliShment OF the
power-of-attorney, aids to naviga-
tion, and the building of wagon
roads, telegraph lines, railroads and
other needed legislation. This he
will work for and # possible will
have such laws passed.
MIR. lvey will return here early
in the spring and engage extensive
ly in mining and cattle raising.

Tried to Rob Bank.

The first case of bomb throwing
in Alaska occurred at Skagwav on
the 10Th inst.
A stranger stepped into the Cam
adian Bank in that city, and de-
manded 100000. Manager Lay
grabbed for his gun and the robber
exploded the bomb. The building
was almost wrecked, windows
blown out and no plastering left OH
the walls.
When the debris was cleared
away, the robber was found fright
fully mangled, his arms being
blown off and his head mangled.
He died later.
Mr.. Lay, his two assistants, and
j. q. Price were in the bank at the
time. None Of them were injured.
Five men have been arrested as ac-
completes.

Who Disappeared During the
Summer From Telegraph
Gang.

About Sept. 1st. when the gov
ernment party under Captain Bur
nell was returning from the Tana-
ma. some Siwashes were met about
five miles below the mouth of the
Slana, who reported that twelve
days previous, near the mouth of
the Slana, they saw white man.
whose actions indicated insanity.
When first seen he wore nothing
but pair of old overalls. He was
sitting down. shading his eyes with
one hand and bcckoning to the
native to approach. When the In
dian got within short distance of
the man, the latter jumped up and
began to throw stones at the native.
who, fearing injury, ran back to
camp. He got some clothes, and
accompanied by several of his fel-
lows, went to look for the white
man, but was unable to find him.
A few days later, as Captain Bur-
nell and Ed. Young were passing
by one OF the small lakes near the
Slana, they saw a man who was
nearly nude, on the opposite side
OF the lake. While getting out
field glass to see who he was, he
disappeared into the timber. They
thought nothing more of the mat
ter till they heard the natives story
and then concluded that both par
ties saw the same man, who is evil
IDENTIFY out of his mind.
The natives describe the man as
being of medium height, with
large nose, small eyes and no hair
OH his face. This description suits
a man named Johnson, who was
with the telegraph gang until they
reached Gakona, when he left them
and taking a gun and blanket and
Il small amount Of grub. struck out
for Slate. Soon after he was found
on the trail i'm starved condition.
and fed, but could not be induced
to return. Later on his gun and
blanket were found, but he has not
been seen since by any one, unless
the above described man seen by
the natives is johnson.

so effectively about the problems and
the romance of a young minister, was
visited in his Office the other day by
young woman who said she wanted to
see him about his new book" This
book is Mr.. RoOds first novel, and he
is not without a certain acute interest
in it. SO the young woman was
shown in
'Oh, Mr.. Rood, she said, "are YOU
really the author of that splendid book?

our minister at hOme-he has a hard

Wasn't it dear of him. the way he
came out ahead of all those old fogies
and married such d nice girl? How did
you write it, Mr.. Rood? I don't see
how anybody writes a whole book, do
you? But how silly OF me: of course
YOU do, because you did it. Well.

tickets for our strawberry festival?"
He bought them.

Mr. MITCHELL's STATEMENT.

THE PENNSYLVANIA anthracite
1 operators viii probably make no
attempt 10 answer the statements made
los John Mitchell president Of the
United Mine Workers association, Tor
tine Job is entirely too difficult. For
tho first time since the strike was in
augurated six weeks ago, Mir. Mitchell
has made clear the position of the
miners. Ills message TO the people was
published in The Herald yesterday, and
it should be read by every fair-minded
citizen.
Mr. Mitchell occupied little more
than two columns OF space without
once losing his temper. without calling
anybody unpleasant names. His dis
cusslon Of the subject was calm, dis
passionate. clear-headed and logical
Tt firmly establishes Mr.. Mitchelrs rep
utation for conservatism, and IL shows
that he is working with whols-hearted
disinterestedness for the good of the
men whose future he holds in the hol-
l0W OF his hand.
The strike leader shows that for years
the condition OF tRe uuthtdClte Ahi"el =
has grown more deplorable. They are
today working for smaller wages than
any other class Of workers in the Unit
ed states. notwithstanding the fact
that their employment IS ranked among
the most hazardous. Three hundred
dollars a year isn't a great deal OF
money. but it constitutes the average
pay Of heads OF families in the anthrs-
cite region. On this they are expected
20 raise and educate their children. to
provide for their families aud them
selves.
On The other hand, Mr.. Mitchell pre-
sents census figures which prove that
the value OF their output has steadily
increased. There is no guesswork about
this presentation. Il is compiled from
United states census reports, which are
easily accessible 90 all. In view Of
these facts there is small cause for
wonder az The refusal OF the operators
20 arbitrute. or FOR surprise at the un-
compromising attitude they have main-
tsined from the beginning.
Tbs cause Of the miners is just. II X

SHOOTS FOOL FRIENDS.

THE EDITOR OF the Provo Enquirer
4 has annihilated the Democratic
party of Utah again. That is to say.
he threatens to annihilate it, If it per-
sists in ebjecting to Apostle Reed
smoot as candidate for the United
States senate.
Ordinarily. the Provo organs opin-
ions are not worth serious consider
alton, but in this case they attain a
certain value because they are sup
posed to voice Mr.. Shoots ideas Of
Apostle Shoots aspirations.
BY a curious perversion OF the facts,
the Enquirer assumes that opposition
to Apostle Smoot is an attack on the
Mormon church, bat unless he is acting
IN his church capacity when he gets
into politics, this position is manifestly
absurd
For instance; The Herald knows Of
90 more able, high-minded Christian
gentleman than Bishop Seaman. In
all the affairs Of life he has been a
distinguished success. If it were posi-
bic for the bishop to enter politics and
De a candidate for Office, he would be
open TO objection-not because of his
personality. but because Of his ecclesi-
sstical position. Would It be an attack
on the Catholic church to demur 10
Bishop Scanlan's active participation
in political campaign as a partisan?
The fact that Catholic bishop never
enters politics actively is all the answer
needed.
Apostle Smoot ought to pray for de-
liverance from his fool friends IL their
campaign in his behalf is to take this
form of lunacy. The very best friends
of the Mormon church organization,
including some Of its most faithful
members, very properly antagonize
Apostle Shoots determination to COM
bine his apostolic duties with senatorial
Office. They believe--and rightly-that
St would be a misfortune for the state,
and particularly Tor the church, to
arouse the resentment that would fol-
low the election Of any high church
man to this Office.
Even Ct Apostle Shoots personal
qualifications fitted him conspicuously
Tor the ONCE. It would still be a mis-
take to elect him in case OF his party's
success. And his cause is not helped
by such asinine threats as his editorial
mouthplece is making against the party
which is opposing him honestly and
conscienticusly.
A little more Of such talk as this and
his candidacy viii die in its infancy
and be buried before the real campaign
begins.
