THE stalwart state ticket will
remain in the field, with Cover
nor Scofeld at the head. This
was decided at a big pow-wow
held in Milwaukee last Wednes-
day. To THE TINES such a
course as this appears to be
without reason. The supreme
court decision should have been
final and the stalwarts should
have quit at that time. But the
attempt was made to sail under
the name of national repub-
licans," and this worked all right
for a time, as the party had re
ceived some recognition through
the seating of the delegates they
cad elected to the national con.
yention. But when the national
committee recognized the La
Toilette ticket as the regular re-
publican ticket IN Wisconsin, the
stalwarts lost their claim to the
use of national. . They then
became only an independent
branch of the republican party,
and could make no better claim
to existence. When the regular
ticket is not such as a party man
can support his influence and
vote should go to the opposite
party. Stalwarts should either
choose between supporting La
Toilette or Peck-their ticket
has no proper place in the COM
ing election. Such men as
Senators Spooner and Quarles
saw this, and wanted the ticket
pulled off, but the enthusiastic
LaFollette haters voted them
down.
The season of active business
operations in northern Wiscon-
sin is rapidly growing to a close,
and in a few more weeks the
white mantle spread by Jack
Frost will cover over all the
earth, and labor will turn to new
fields of work. The saw mill will
stop its noise for few months,
navigation along the lakes will
come to an end, and the winter
will be upon us. 1t has been
encouraging to watch the rapid
development in agriculture dur
ing the past few months, and it
is still more encouraging to note
that people are becoming more
and more impressed with the
value of this region as farming
country. Several hundred new
farms have been opened in Bay
field county this year-true some
of them have been very small
places, but on the whole they
mean a great deal to the develop
mentof our agricultural interests
as in time they will become rich
ly producing pieces of land.
The senti in favor of Bay
field county farm lands is grow
ing fast, for every year there
are more farms opened and more

Mn Henry J. Powers, mining engineer, wno. is employed to ad- wise upon the mining investments of heavy capitalists in Chicago, and sba,is- conservative from the very aature of his employment. made the prediction in Seattle that with in fifty years there would'b a mil lion men mining in Alaska. This prediction is made after MT. Pow ars.has spent several years in in- Festigating the known mineral re- sources of the great northern terri tory, and from what is in sight has bean. able to realize something of the. possibilities which. vet lie in she future.
 ur. Powers recognizes, that this statement may seem extravagant 70 those who know nothing of the great treasure house of the north. hut he himself. considers it con ,serratiye..
 There. is this to found 1t upon: There is certainly room for the em- ployment of million men,. profit ably. in developing the the miner al sesonrees-oi Alaska and in bring ing out it's it's treasures to Q world which awaits them. Where profit able employment can be found for a million men,. there a million men. will. certainly be found, soon nr.late. How long it will take is a matter of mere surmise. It may nc in fifty years. or it may be in ,ess%t!ma.
 Gastaia,it is-that lslaska,is. des- tined. to have a population within a.tima which many now living will see, which. will rank it among the great states, of the Union; and the hasic industry will be mining.-P. I.

Latest War News.

Two important forts IN the defense
of Port Arthur--EnSeshan, or the
"ChaIr Fort" and Talpangtze, both
within a mile and half of the be-
sieged city-have been captured by
the japanese, according to reports
from Cheefoo. So closely have the
japanese advanced to the last fortiti-
cations, say the latest refugees from
Port Arthur. that General StoesSel IS
residence has been reached by the
enemy.
If the enemy's guns are planted in
these positions, the city has all but
fallen. The reports are not burne out
through official sources, but in a meas
ure confirm earlier news regarding
the latest desperate assault.
EtSeShan is almost in the center of

one, defending Port Arthur, from
which it is only about mile and a

The latest attack on Port Arthur,
which was carried on by the japanese
for seven hours with great fury on
Sunday, has failed. according to the
reports from Chefoo. In spite of the
heavy japanese fire, the Russians are
said to have silenced the attacking
batteries, which were not supported
by the fleet. Russia still holds Louisa
Bay, according to the latest reports.
and the spirits of the Muscovites have
risen accordingly. In view of the JAP
anese having sent large detachments
south to reinforce the army engaged
in the assault on Port Arthur, Gen.
eral Kouropatkin, who now has 140.-
900 meD at his disposal, will take the
earliest opportunity of engaging the
japanese. In case he is unsuccessful
all necessary preparations will be made
for a retreat to Hardin. If victorious
he will forthwith proceed to the re-
lief of Pert Arthur, which. it is said,
can resist for two months.
