Alaska forum., 1904-10-15

THE press upon which the FORUM is printed, is probably the most unique af- fair of it's kind in Alaska. It was built in Rampant, and is combination of the features of the platen and Washington hand-press. It is operated by foot pow CT and is success in every way. The lathe upon which the shafting and fix lures used in it's construction was turn ed, was run by dog-power. The FORUM is therefore printed on five dog-pow- CT press. The mechanical genius who manipulated the material, at one time the component part of a junk pile, into printing press, was Donald Mclean, the well-known mining man of Little Minook Jr. and former master mechan- ic of several eastern roads prior to his coming to the Northland. Mir. Mclean now enjoys the distinction of having constructed the first press made ip the District of Alaska.

THE report of Judge Wm. A. Day, special investigator of the judiciary in Alaska, will be flied shortly. Much dis cussion has been indulged in over the fact that Judge Day did not stay few hours in Rampant. If he had done so he would have readily learned that the local administration of justice as ex- emplifed by the present commissioner, is badly warped. We understand, ho < ever, that full information was given his committee while at Panama. Judge Wickersham, by his failure to inyesti- gate the charges filed with him this summer against the alleged judicial acts of his local representative, J. l.. Green, has placed on them his official approval and must necessarily bear liber;l por- tion of the odium.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER l5, 1904.

THE FORUM again makes it's bow af- ter an enforced suspension of two months. As will be noticed we appear in brand-new dress everything is new press included-except our policy; that is unchanged. The FORUM wears no collar, and is not the advocate of the commercial companies or their boosters. The editor has always held that the miners made this camp and have rights that must be recognized. The objects of the pieceof dirty work perpetrated this summer, by which an itinerant dentist and an ex-Dawson black-j jack booster, assisted by Rev. J. B. Huhn replevined the printing plant with which we form ly printed this paper, have failed utter ly. J.

Claims That Longer Term Would

ness Depression.

At last nights meeting OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce a letter was read
from the National Business League
with headquarters at Chicago. which
has for its object the lengthening OF
the presidential term 10 six years. In
lview OF the great Importance OF the
proposal. the letter Is herewith pre-
sented:
Chicago, July 1.--Secretary, Cham
Der OF Commerce. Astoria.--Dear Sir;
las a measure to benefit Industrial.
commercial and financial interests In
particular and for the public welfare
generally. the National Business
League, as indicated by the leaflet
herewith, has taken the initiative in a
movement to so amend the constltu-
ton OF the United States as win
lengthen the presidential term to six
years, making the chief executive In
eligible for reelection; the principal
reasons for the proposed change be-
ing:
Il. Presidential campaigns are too
frequent; are enrmously expensive TO
business interests and keep the eoun-
| try In a state Of turmoil and uncer-
tainty most Of the tlme. to the great
disadvantage Of both labor and capital.
"2. Presidential years show increase
Of business failures, decrease OF ex-
ports, bank cIearings, stock sales and
commercial transactions generally.
"3. Presidential campaigns indehn-
ltely prevent the beginning and check
the growth Of industrial enterprises.
=. The president, during his first
term, naturally being anxious to sue
coed himself, is kept busy considering
the demands Of politicians and plan
ming for second term; meanwhile i'm
portant legislation for the general good
waits.
in this connection the executive
committee Of the league begs to ask
IL your organization will kindly en-
dorse, by resolution, the proposed
amendment as a measure that viii
materially lessen the annoyances that
handicap business activities; giving
such additional reasons for the change
as may occur to you.
Anticipating your early and favor
able action, / remain, very truly yours,
"A. A. BURNHAM.
General Secretary"
The letter was referred to the judi
ciary committee for report at the next
meeting. The chamber discussed the
Warrenton road matter and instructed
the roads committee to prepare re-
port for the next session.

ton. and before the Commercial fielder
could throw home another visitor
scored. Ferguson. Brother Harry and
Brother Roxy scored In the cluhmen's
half of this inning. Baxter's wild
throwing having been responsible for
one of the runs.
In the seventh Commercial added
two more runs to It's total. Stock
ton had essayed successful hunt and
pilfered second. Ferguson's hot drive
was not handled and Stockton went
down to third. Brother Harry hit out
a drive that brought Ferguson home
from first. while. singular to tell,
Brother Harry himself did not get be-
yond first. He was caught between
first and second. and when Washburn
finally overlook him he slammed the
ball against Harry's ribs as II he
would prepare a case for the doctors.
Two or three times he clapped the
ball into Harry.s side. and the Com
mercial third basemen became indig-
nant. Just what he said to Wash
burn was not heard in the. grand
stand. but washhurn ran toward him
in threatening manner. Brother
Harry was anxious to avoid a fistic
encounter on the field. but Brother
Roxy was not so particular, for he
FASTENED in the direction Of the dis
putants and poked his little brown nit
into washburn's face. The less ex-
cited players pulled the men apart be-
fore the affair reached climax, while
the grandstand hissed Washburn for
his unseeming conduct. In the eighth
inning Painter hit to Brother Harry,
who threw wildly to Flanagan and
let Painter score. In the seventh
O'Toole hit out one to the left field
and in running the bases "cut" the
first bag 20 feet. Mr.. Lee did not see
him do this, however. and when he
stopped on third he was called safe.
He died there, so the irregularity was
not costly to the visitors.
About the only real nice play Of
the day was Roxy Graham's great
one-handed stop of hot drive. in the
ninth. In the third Tommy Ross dis
tinguished himself by dropping a fly
that fell into his NIT. The score by
innings was as follows:

Upon the mahogany desk Of the
sporting writer OF this great journal
some enthusiastic fan placed the above
little jingle-or bingle. In it he fails
to refer In any way TO the half-heart-
edness OF the game in question, or to
point out the everlasting truth that
indifferent baseball playing win not
steer the patronage ship away from
the scylla of disgust or prevent it
from being wrecked upon the
charybdis of not-attendance.
The game was almost devoid Of in

the grandstand would have considered

started OFF like a bunch of Holsters.
They wanted to have everything their
own way, else they wouldn't play.
First there was squabble about the
money question, which had not been
definitely settled prior to the arrival
Of the crowd. Commercial gave in
and Il seemed the game would be
played. But warrenton didn't fancy
Mr.. Macomber as an umpire. He had
umpired a game at Fort Stevens and
the visiting players had come to the
conclusion that he was lacking. An
other umpire must be secured, and
again Commercial assented, Richard
C. Lee being selected.
And then the game" was played.
The objection to Mr.. Macomber
made weary those who know little
something about baseball. This state
ment may be construed to mean that
some Of the visitors are not up in

of the visiting batsmen protested vig-

strike-seemed utterly bewildered
when Mr.. Lee instructed him to stand
by. There is no better or fairer um-
pire anywhere than this self-s same Mr..
Macomber, and it was mighty poor
business for Warrenton to offer any
objection to him-especially in view
OF the fact that the objection resulted
from an ill-timed rib on the part of
a west side visitor who should have
been in better business. Lots of men,
it would appear. never emerge from
