was summoned bg The Republican,,
as they are app;ehcnsive OF The ma
ture of tina, gentleman's evidence.
1t will be remembered that when
testifying before the Industrial Com
mission, Mr.. Havemeyer made the
famous statement, "The tariff is the
mother of trusts" and the Republi.
can Senators are very nervous for
fear the sugar magnate may an.
nounce some further embarrassing
truths on this occasion.

Now that the final passage of the
anti oleomargarine bill has been &C .
complished, the Republicans in
Congress, who were responsible for
its enactment, are beginning to
wonder if they have done wisely.
The passage of the bill was imme-
diatcly followed by a rise in the
price of butter, and that, taken in
connection with the rise in the price
of beef, is leading the consumer 10
ask most embarrassing questions. 1t
is we'll known that many of the
congressman who voted for the
anti oleomargarinc bill did so
against their best judgment, and
only because they feared the con-
demnation of the farmers vote, but
the consumers are even more numer.
Gus than the farmers, and if the
former once appreciate that all Re-
publican legislation is in the inter
est Of the favored few at the expense
of the great army of consumers, it
Will go hard with the party at the
polls.

The President has determined to
appoint Henry Clay Evans Consul
General at London, vice the recent
ly deceased William Mckinley Os-
borne. The appointment will not
meet with the approval of the G.. A.
r., as it is very much in the char
acter of a promotion, the position
carrying several times as large re-
Enumeration as that of Commissioner
of Pensions. Mr.. Roosevelt believes,
however, that Mr.. Evans admins
tered his Office with exceptional
justice and that he deserves great
reward.

Many a woman who considers
her husband not worth the salt that
goes in his victuals, will sue q
railroad company for several thous-
and dollars if he gets killed in a
wreck.
This proves dead husband, in
some cases, is more valuable than a
live one.

DELEGATE CONVENTIONS,
Held by the Republicans OF the County
Last Saturday.

The Republicans of this district
had little cut and dried convention
up at townsville last Saturday af-
ternoon. AS all the booze and
Doodle had been used up the Satur-
day before at the Primary, there
was nothing to 'thuse" the crowd
and it was a tame affair, the main
feature of the occasion being the
speech of Chairman Flynn, reciting
his trip up Salt River. He explained
that it was a new experience for
him, but that he had one old vow
ager along that stood the trip like a
veteran. 1t was his old friend Lee
Shaw, who had gotten used to 1t,
but John SAINT Dunn was along and
it went hard for him. He was very
sea-sick with sort of gone feeling,
as If the bottom had fallen out of
everything. Judge Flynn said when
ne arrived at the headquarters of
this famous river, he met several
people he knew, among them Bill
Bryan and Slidell Brown, but they
warned him to keep off the grass,
and refused TO loan him a fishing
pole even, SO he did not tarry long
and came back on the next boat.
The Chairman and Secretary of
the County Committee, J.W. Flynn
and III. S. Whetsell, took charge of
the convention, and J. b. Ford
moved that a committee of five be
appointed by the chair to select
delegates To- the Congressional and
Senatorial Conventions. This car.
ried and the following delegates and
alternates were reported and adopted.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Delegates--Dr. c. K. Sherwood,
II. S. Whetsell, J. l.. Mckenzie, J.
b. Sheets and Sam b. Montgomery.
Alternates-J. A. Lenhart, Frank
Pierce, S. J. Spears, l.. T. Stafford
and Oren Ashby.
The delegates were instructed
solid for Dayton.
SENATORIAL.
Delegates-John b. Ford, !. w.
Flynn, John A. Sterling, DIR. B. +.
Bone and o. w. Zinn.
Alternates--N. ]. Fortney, DR.. f..
w. Stricken, II. G.. Burke, c. w.
Wolfe and Arthur Halbritter.
Col. Sam Montgomery, Of Tun-
Melton, IS after the Senatorial nomi-
nation. This is now the r4th Sena.
torial District, and is composed of
FIVE counties, Preston, Hardy, Tuck
er, Grant and Mineral, as the last
Legislature changed the district.
DR.. Thomas i. Lanhsm was nomi.
mated from this county four years
ago, and it is likely that some OF
the other counties will make a fight
for it this time. In fact, il is said
that Grant county claims it and is
pushing Hon. l.. J. Forman for the
place. lie is an old Preston county
boy, having been born and raised
near BrandonviIle, and this county
was for him till Col. Montgomery
entered the fight, and says he is in
to win. IA Preston has about one
third of the delegates, they can
probably control the nomination il
they stand together. Conventions
similar to the above we're held in
all the other districts Of the county
last Saturday.

So that White had majority of
10 over both the others. What hurt
Arnold more than anything else was
the order of the Court favoring as
sistance TO o. e. Crane in building
a bridge over the railroad to Cranes
addition to Terra Alta. The order
amounted to nothing, is not binding
on the Court, as it has run out now
anyhow, but White was smart
enough to get an official copy from
the record and have itcircula,ed over
the district to set the hair on the
taxpayers against the Court giving
county aid TO private enterprises.
For President of the Board of Edu-
cation over there no one would
tackle it on account of the big debt
incurred in building the Terra Alta

Over in Union district there was
a close fight for member of the
Court, Allen torman, the present
incumbent, holding on by a vote of
I4S 10 I24 cast for p. J.. Knapp, a
majority Of I'd, and it is claimed
that big fire in the mountain kept
some of Knapp's friends away from
:be polls that day. There was no
one on the official ticket for school
officers, but the voters nominated
Lewis Bush of Eglon, for President
of the Board, and Will Roth for
Commissioner.
Down in Pleasant district William
]. Metheny, who runs the old Rim
ger mill, and is the present member
of the Court, and a very good one,
was renomiuated without opposition,
and Randolph Protzmsn was nomi-
mated tor President of the Board,

missioner.
AS usual, there was a contest for
all the Offices in Grant. J. r. Smith

A MAIL ROUTE THAT FAILED.

The NUGGET is downright sorry to be compelled to 'crltlcse the all-American mail from Iliamna bay to Nome, and while we may be permitted to in dulge in slight criticism it must not be inferred that the route is to be forthwith condemned. The people of Nome have been sorey disappointed by reason of the failure of mails to reach them this winter It has had serious effect upon business. Many busi- ness men in Nome, with connections on the outside have been and still are seriously hampered because they have received communications upon matters of import. They do not know what to expect or what to do in the premises. On the ether hand their correspondents in the States have no doubt sent full instructions and have outlined conditions in the States and the outlook for this section the present year. But largely we are in the dark. The precious mail that have looked and onged for is probably scattered for weary leagues along the shores of e the muddy Kuskokwim We may get it next sum- 1ner, when for all practical purposes it will be of no use whatsoever
 The mail contractor, the Trans-Alaska Company, seems to have made grevous in attempting to transport the mails with horses. Horses good when there is broken trail, but for traversng a snowbound, trackess country for hundreds of miles they are absolutely useless. And the sooner the company and the postoflce department realize this fact the better will it be for all concerned The Trans -Alaska Company no doubt, has paid for its experience by this time; tho postohice department will wonder how it happened anyway, while the peo- ple-the disappointed pcople-may suffer and be as patient as they can.
 There is email doubt that the Iliamna route is practicable but dogs, instead of horses must be used for transportation purposes This is matter which demands attention, and it is to be hoped that mmedi- ately upon the opening of navigation the necessary protests and proper representations will be made to Washington. A repetition next winter of the present lack of mail service is not to be thought of

ALASkANS SHOULD BE LOYAL.

It would be matter of interest to know what the congress has been doing the past far legislation for Alaska is concerned The information that has to hand has been of the most meager description It may be taken for granted however that Alaska is receiving more attention at the hands of congress than ever before
 copy of the Alaska 'Prospector, published at <Valdes which has been received by the NUGGET con- tains many encouraging statements relative to the conditions in that section. It is noted that many persons going into the interior of the Copper river country; that renewed attention is being given to the quartz properties of the coast; that the fisher ies attracting and attention; that that section is being looked upon iavorably as an oil pro-
 ducer and that it's agricultural possibilities are no longer sneered at by congressional any other kind of lunkheads.
 During the next decade or SO Alaska will be the mecca of tens of thousands of people. There is no use in attempting to disguise or belittle the fact It is destiny. Immigration is infectious Once started
 in certain direction it increases in volume until the flood is reached, when it begins to wane for season. only to again be renewed. Alaska is vet in leading strings, but soon it will outgrow them and become q lusty young commonwealth. It will become a mighty state of the grandest in the great sister hood. Its valleys and plains will nourish a great farming population; it's hills will yield gold and silver for the world its rivers and seas will produce wealth untold. Cities will arise, and mighty people will inhabit the land. And they will be a hardy. patriotic people, workers who have tue courage and the endurance to make country great in all that [ he term implies. And this change is coming fast This is pid age in which we live Alaska in the next quarter of century will make greater progress than did New England in the first century of its existence It is necessary to this end, however that ne have legislation commensurate with our growth

The annual statement submitted by the city clerk on Monday evening. showing the financial condition of the city, is comprehensive document. It is also instructive It shows that the large sum of $lO9,- 632.15 received from all sources between May 2O l90l and April 24,1902 This amount includes the sum of S40O0O which placed to the credit of the school fund.- The total indebtedness of the city is placed at ,56955, and the assets of the city are estimated at $32,955.51, consisting of delinquent real and personal taxes delinquent street assessments and city property, the latter being valued at $1766s.23 If the assets of the city could be realized upon the total indebtedness of the city would be just S614O4 Apart from the city's personal property, which, largely, consists of fire apparatus the delinquent street assessments amount to $12,S65.56.
