Of wallfowers. Any man not neces-
sary to the city. it makes no differ
ence in what position he is employed
should be ousted Immediately. The
people are burdened with taxes now,
and any unnecessary expense should
be done away with. Spokane has been
under the hands of corrupt politicians
for so long that it is thought very
proper to feed it's unnecessary men
at the public expense. Every new
administration has a certain class Of
followers who are birds of prey to the
office holders. This is only right in
their eyes, because they have been
put into Office by these hangers on.

GOOD LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

Editor Press: / wish to say few
words in regard to the stand you are
taking for good city government.
What Spokane needs is a paper which
is not afraid to make exposures of
corrupt politics. The ring system as
practiced in Spokane has obtained
proportions which are abominable.
No important office is given to a
man who is without a pull. The citi-
zens will stand a good deal, but If
they are once aroused something is
sure to drop. 1 am glad to see The
Press take hold of this matter in the
way it has done, and think a great
deal of good will be done along the
line of reform. REFORM.

Army Officer Is in More
 Trouble

A Washington dispatch of recent date says that new charges have been brought against Lieut.. Knudson, of the Seventh infantry, who was convicted on the charge of embezzling funds while on duty at Nome, Alaska. It is possible he may be court martialed again.
 The verdict of the first court martial is still before President Roosevelt, the president having withheld action upon request of Senator Quarles, of Wiscon- sin. pending a statement in behalf of the young officer by the senator
 The new charge against Knudson is that be purchased a piano out of the post exchange funds of his company, that he removed the piano to his own quarters and that he afterward sold it as his own property in San Francisco

Seward, on Resurrection Bay,
 Is Booming,

D. c. Brownen, formerly of this city but now of Valdez, thinks Seward, on Resurrection bay, the southern termin- ms of the Alaska Central railroad, is all right. Ina letter received from Mir. Brownel by J. J. Patterson, ofthis city, who spent last winter at Valdez, the former states:
 "Resurrection is doing something. They brought mp a sawmill and pile driver, both of which are now at work. They are clearing the right of way for some miles and there is really some show of building
 "They are selling lots in the new city of Seward fast at high prices. saw the contractor, who is said to be re- liable man, having built already abont 2OOO miles of road He-told me he would have 300 men at work by the first of April. The contract is let and re- corded here and at Sunrise. It provides that the Illinois Trust Company is to furnish the money to build 400 miles of road at the rate of l25 miles per year, at s3O,OOO per mile, or total of Sl2,- OOO,0O0

Funston Wants Army Wages
 Advanced

Gen. Funston, commanding the de- pertinent of the Columbia, in his annu- al report to the secretary of war, rec omlnends an increase in the pay of en- listed men in the army. He thinks they earn more than they are able to get with the allowance made by the government.
 He asks that the pay of privates be increased from sl3 to SIS per month; that of corporals from sl5 to s3O; ser geants from SIS to S45, and first ser geants from s25 to s6O per month.
 1.-the change were put into effect, and it is being urged hy many officers of the army and others as well as by Gen. Funston, it would materially in- crease the pay roll at Skagway.

IVFW CHARGE HOOKS COODCOMES BACKRUS
SksgWay Delegates Returns
 From Juneau

The most of the Skagway delegates returned from Juneau on the Georgia, arriving at this place at 10 o'clock last night. Its members are all well satis- fled with the work of the convention, and feel justified in the belief that Alaska is committed irrevOcably to the American principleoi seltgovernment. The impression made on the people by the snap methods of the tories it is be- lieved will forever act in the interest of those who are advancing the cause of self-government.
 The Skagway delegates who attend ed the convention, say that there is no doubt but that the regular convention that declared for territorial govern ment, is regarded by the people of Ju- neau and elsewhere in that vicinity, as the one representing the people of Alaska. Many of those who were dele gates to the snap convention apologized for their action, and stated that they would favor territorial government from this time on. One delegate stated that be always did favor territorial government, but that his expenses to Juneau were paid so it would cost nothing for a nice trip and he supposed that someone else would have been hired to dCthe service had he refused. So he came and voted as requested by those who put up the money.
 The Skagwayans who returned were: c. B. Haraden, F. Wolland, J. Bloom, Elias Ruud and Fl. B. Le Fevre.

VETO MAY KILL 1T.
Mayor of Everett Opposed to Bicycle
Ordinance.

Tverett.-It is considered very
likely that Mayor Hunsaker will veto
the stringent ordinance passed re-
Gently TO prohibit bicycle riders from
riding along certain streets, some of
which are not planked. The mayor
stated today that he was yet unde-
cided what to do in the matter. but
that he did not believe in making
wheelmen ride over implanted streets
after the rainy season sets in. In
case he does sign the ordinance it will
be with the understanding that an
amendemnt will be introduced per
hitting wheels to be ridden on GER
tain streets not planked and also on
one side of Hewitt avenue. Should
the measure be vetoed it will be with
an understanding that another will
be introduced with the Objectionable
features stricken out. The question
has aroused considerable local inter
est from the fact that hundreds of
the workmen employed in mills and
other industries ride to and from
their work. The mayor has but two
days left in which to act before the
ordinance becomes effective without
his signature.
