SALUTE THE CUBAN FLAG.

"CUBA LIBRE" <! Only four years ago this motto was car ried by few half starved and struggling bands bravely fighting against the. Spanish army of 2OO,- 0O0 trained soldiers. Weyler was in power aud the people of beauti- ful Cuba were in the deepest dis tress. The attention of our nation was called to the cogditions on the island by President Me Kinley. War was declared with Spain, and an army raised and sent to Cuba. The war was sharp and decisive. In few months United States ships carried the proud "Dons" home. But it was plain that Cuba was not ready to assume place among the independent nations of the earth. The only practical thing to do was to continue Ameri- can rule until such advance had been made as warranted indepen- dence. Ind army was left in the field. Gen. Leonsrd Wood was made military governor, and the work of forming a government went on. Educational, sanitasy and other improvements were in- troduced. This has gone on for three years and more. Hundreds of public schools have been estab- lished, the cities have been cleaned and systems of sewerage put in. Where the yellow fever was an an nual scourge and dread there is now health. A Republican form of government has been established, and Thomas Estrada Palma elected president. On the 20th of May he was inaugurated, and the new nation fully launched on its career. At a given signal all American flags were lowered. and the Cuban colors raised. At the capitol Gen eral Wood hauled down the stars and stripes, then he, and the hero of Cuba, who has survived the long struggles for liberty, General Go meg, raised the flag with one star. Cuba was free from her old enemy, Spain, and her new friend, the Unit ed States.

MAKE STRINGENT LAWS

The miners in the new Bremner and Chittyna districts should not fail to meet this sum- mer before the rush goes into the country, and organize strong min ing districts, with stringent rules regarding the use of powers of at torney, claim jumping, stalking and recording claims. We do not
 want a repetition of the Nome troubles of the past two years or of the Skagway trouble 0f few years ago. Should Judge Wickersham and his court come here, we may be assured of just and equitable administration of justice on their part, hut it will be well to prepare for claim jumpers, confidence men and their ilk, They must not be

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
THE GOVERNMENT TRAIL.

As there is hut a small amount of money remaining from the appropriation of last year for work on the government trail, it should be judiciously and carefully spent, aud we believe that it will be. Capt. N Ilson, of whom we have heard many good words, will undoubtedly give careful attention and consider ation to this matter before he com mences any work on the trail. If the trail is to be kept in repair for the benefit of the miners and prospectors then the work should be done where it is used the most and that is between Valdez and the Tonsina river.
 Probably more then two thirds of the travel over this trail in the summer is done between this place and the Tonsina river, where those going into the copper country leave the government trail. The Slate creek miners travel over the snow in the early spring with their loads, and remain there until the Fall. with the exception of a very few packers or miners who may come out for supplies, OF on business matters. They have a snow trail all the way to their destination in the Spring when they are taking in their supplies, and when the season is over they come out light without any loads to speak of.
 If the government would keep the bridges and ferries between here and the Chestochina river in good repair, and spend the balance of the money they have for the pur- pose on the trail between this place and the Tonsina, We believe that it would be of the greatest benefit to the greatest number. Most of the summer travel is between here and the copper country and the travel will probably be greater in the fur ture than it has been in the past. A bridge is greatly needed at Fall creek and over the creek three miles the other side of the barns.
 Several places are badly in need M corduroy, and other improve ments are needed at different Peints. Good roads or trails in this country mean a great deal tow : ard its development. The sea son being short the government should help the prospector in every way possible to open up the coun- try, and it can do great deal for him by making his travelling easy and safe.

 Valdez, 30 miles away from the smoking volcano, Mt. Redoubt, was covered with ashes on May 3. This would indicate that the volcano was no little side show.-Washing- tonian.
 This will be news to the Valdez people many of whom have never seen Mt. RedouLt it being 300 miles west of here. In order to get q glance at it one would have to take q steamer which would cross Prince William sound, go around the kenai peninsula and up into Cook Inlet a trip of two days fast sailing. Yet the ashes travelled that distance. It is about time the writers on the Seattle press were studying the map of Alaska. Then they would not make so many glaring errors about this country.

the times and keep the people well informed as to the condition of af- fairs at both of the new gold discov- cries, on the Bremner and on the Chittyna. we have sent a represent ative to the scene of action who will lose no opportunity of for warding to us any and all news. He has gone with his seven-league boots on and will cover the ground in quick order. His instructions were to go up the Chittyna and come back by way of the Bremner. As his only burden on leaving here was light sleeping bag, he will live at the various roadhouses along the way, and at the last one will secure enough provisions to take him to his destination.
 Our first communication from him is from the Tonsina, where he arrived three days after leaving here, a distance of v miles. He passed many along the trail, some with and some without horses, and he reports the trail as being i'll the very finest condition, with the best of accommodations for man and beast at each roadhouse.
 Our representative in the Chesna district, which includes Slate Creek, will also miss no opportuni- ty to send us a full report of what is doing in that locality.
 We will also keep in touch with all the mining camps on the Sound and along the coast, and all along the line, we will leave no stone unturned to give our readers the latest and most reliable infor- nation relative to mining and other incidents in this section of Alaska.

Hicks Forecast.

Irl R. Hicks makes the following
forecast for July:
The month opens with Venus dis
turbance central on the second, fore
shadOWing a warm wave of intensity
to be followed by wicked storms OF
wind, rain and hail. Some of the most
disastrous hail storms that ever Wis
tied the central and northwestern sec
lions have occurred during similar as
tronomic combinations. Change to
quite cool for the season may natural
ly be expected on the heels of these
disturbances. Reactionary storms due
from 18th to 18th will most probably
develop. Excessive warm wealth r
will exist prior to storm EXAMINATIONS
at this time. Frequent electrical
storms will break a prolonged heated
term about the 18th to goth. If the
disturbances at this time do not break
up with storms severe drOuth may
prevail up to the September equinox.
Let any one who is skeptical on this
subject keep a systematic watch, to-
gether with a careful record of such
phenomena, as reported generally
over the country or globe, and he will
finally be forced to the conclusion
that our statement is correct. The
last storm period for July will culmi-
nate during the closing days of the
month, low barometer, cloudiness
with probable rain and thunder storms
being in transit from west to east as
July goes out.

Port Townsend, Wash, July l.
The steamer Centennial reached port
yesterday morning bringing the news
of the safety of the steamers JEANNE
and Portland; also that the story of
the loss of the revenue cutter Thetis
is untrue. Information was secured
by the Centennial from the whaler
Belvedere. The Belvedere was in
sight of the Portland and JEANNE and
left them to return to Nome, only
after her officers had assured them
selves they could render no assistance
to the beleaguered vessels At the
time they were last sighted the Port
land had been out of Seattle, north
bound, fifty-two days and the JEANNE
forty-eight. Signals from both YES

AS a result of the excessive and co T.

May and June the hay crop of Wiscon.
sin is almost failure and the pros
poets are for poor crop of corn which
will be so late as to be in danger of
frosts before it natures. Farmers are
complaining of the poor crop of hay.
Wild hay is heavy but meadow crops
are light. Corn came UP well but has
made little progress in the absence Of
good growing weather. Vegetables are
showing we'll and farmers are bringing
in the first new potatoes. Small grains
have withstood the heavy rains with
little damage by. lodging and good
warm weather will mature a good crop.
John M. True, secretary of the state
board of agriculture, is receiving re-
ports from all the counties in the state
upon which to base his monthly crop
report. He says the cold weather OF
a week ago was accompanied by light
fro~ts in the northern part of the state.
The trouble lies chiefly with the low
temperature, which prevents growth.
This can be repaired IN all respects
except the light hay crop if warm
growing weather comes now.
For cold weather, rain, and a gener-
al condition of uncomfortableness the
June of 1902 broke the record for
many a year. According to the record
at Washburn observatory the total
rainfall for the month was 3.S1 inches,
as compared to 2.40 inches last June.
The lowest temperature this June was
1872 degrees-last June 50. The mean

was 63.6 degrees. The hottest day in
