That Birthday.

Last Monday a number of the young people of the Island received neat in- vitations, inviting them to card party at the home of Carl Erickson that evening.
 Now when boy or girl receives an invitation to party, all care is banish- ed from their mind. It makes no diff ference if there is a Taku raging or if it is showing or raining, they are going to that party.
 At about g o'clock the guests began to arrive and of course the first to ar rive just sat around and looked at each other until the crowd arrived.
 When the crowd all got there they were aware that it was Carl's 18th birthday and congratulations were in order. The people were becoming more acquainted and they now began playing some old fashioned games like our mothers used to play. The party was to be card party, but it was impossible to settle down to such quiet things as cards after the taste of the other games.
 About this time supper was intro duced and every one showed how much they liked it and how good they felt by eating good hearty lunch.
 After supper new games of the same old kind were indulged in, of course all "kissinm games were barred from such dignified gathering as this.
 The gathering broke up early-in the

In a Frame.

Judge Brown, in his charge to the grand jury, remarks that here in Alaska there is spirit of resistance" against statutes dealing with moral conditions. We cannot say that we agree with His Honor in this respect. We have found no more resistance to such statutes here, than is found elsewhere in lands where conditions are similar. What the people of Alaska have objected most seriously to is the enforcement of the law against one man and not against another committing the same vices at the same time. The people would not have observed this so much had it not been for certain parties walk ing the streets and declaring them selves "organs of the court" and that certain vices would not be tolerated unless arrangements were made with him or them.
 Specific charge was made in the Record Miner, wherein it was shown that parties had gone to business men in the community claiming that for S1OO0, things could be arranged" and "they would have no more trouble" The Record Miner at that time, gave the names of the parties to the conver- sation, quoted the exact language alleged to have been used, but not word was said, no one was called up to answer for blackmail, and naturally enough the public took up the idea that the "go between" knew what he was talking about when he asked for the 5000.
 These men who, by their indiscreet language, cause the people, to certain extent, to lose respect for the courts, are the "law breakers" in this country who are the greatest handicap to the enforcement of the law. A saloon man whose license is rejected because he has poker game or black jack game running, can not have much respect for law or officers of the law who per init the same conditions across the street. To not believe, under such circumstances that some one, some where, was getting a "rake off" would prove the person so believing, an unso- phisticated ass. But to permit any be- box-rustler who has more audacity than sagacity, to perambulate the streets declaring, "come to me and you shall not be hurt" calls forth that Spirit of resistance" that has manifested itself in the American people ever since the landing of the Mayflower. That's all. Juneau Daily Record Miner.

SoC|oh W lHt ldblOudl convention
for Parker.
Representatives of prominent in
surance companies acknowledge
that in the last ten years the Chica-
go agencies handling burglary in
surance have sustained a loss of
from $4,000 to 100000, in spite
of the fact that the rates are from
% to 40 per cent higher than in
New York, Philadelphia and other
large cities.
The committee of fifteen which
was appointed by the national tri
ennial convention of the Episcopal
church at San Francisco in 1901,
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
changing the legal name of the de-
nomination has secured an extended
report, IN which the opinion is ex-
pressed that any change at this
time is .inexpedient.
There is prospect that the ex
ports of manufactures from the
United States this year will make
their highest record. For the first
eight months of the fiscal year the
total is $20,000,000 larger than in
the same period Of 1900, the pre-
yious year of largest expectation.
The total then for eight months was
$268, 100000. Now it is $685.
600.
The enormous cost Of the war to
the Russian government may be
seen from the following figures
Cost for first four months up to
June l, including $22, 100000 for
railroad equipment, $125,o0o,00O.
After June l, monthly cost for
navy, $3,500,000 For army at

1t now develops that the recent
order of Judge Bellinger, Of the
Federal court of Oregon. authorizing
the sale of the personal property of
the Cornucopia Mines on November
90. and OF the real property on
November %, was a distinct victory
for the Baker City lawyers who, for
the past two years have been
lighting the Searles estate. When
the announcement was frat made CT
Judge Bellinger's order, II was
popularly presumed that his action
was brought about through presenta-
tion of an offer Of foreign syndi.
cate to purchase the property. Not
long ago Judge Bellinger issued n
temporary injunction, restraining the
sheriff of Baker county from selling
the mine under the hammer, In
satisfaction of about $50, 900 worth
of judgments aud labor liens. Tho
Federal courts Intervention was
secured by Receiver Beattys, of
Brooklyn, who pleaded that u
private purchaser was negotiating for
the mine, and that IA forced sale by
the sheriff would do harm To the
interests of the bankrupt owner.
During the lie of this injunction
two experts exhaustively examined
the mine. aud, 1t is understood, re.
ported favoably to their principals.

In charge of Mr.. George Otis Smith,

of the work was Topographic and was
