THE ExTRA SESSION.



Talk il heard OF an extra session Of the
Legislature 70 consider and pass fran
ceise amendment which win be aecepta-
Die TO all classes OF Democrats and to
whose support the whole party can be
rallied. The party is pledged TO a fran
chise amendment to limit and curtaii ig.
norant negro voting. This was the
leading issue in our last State election
and il was the issue upon which the peo-
pie in no uncertain terms committed TO
Democratic hands every branch Of our
state government. There is no denying
she fact that because OF differences Of
opinion over the shape of the amend
ment and the tangle which has grown
out Of them the amendment, known as
the Poe Amendment, no matter whether
held by the courts as properly and legally
passed or not, is in serious danger of
defeat. OF course, II the courts decide
against the amendment that is an end OF
ii until another Legislature, extraordi-
nary or regular. Bus granting that the
courts will decide in favor Of the amend
ment, can it be carried at the election?
There is certainly, TO say the least, very
grave doubt Of It's adoption by the peo-
pie. Had we then not better take coun-
sci among ourselyes? And il from this
counsel, comes an extra session II the
Legislature and franchise amendment
acceptable to all Democrats, whose
adoption would be assured because OF
party unity and enthusiasm, would il
not be best2 Had we not better have an
extra session and franchise amend
ment whose adoption would be almost
certain han to risk defeat with the one
whose legality is now in question:

IS THIS ANOTHER GRAFT?

Why this sudden anxiety eff a few mem bers of the opera bouffe body, known as the City Council concerning the tenderloin Why this perturbation on the part of two or three members, one of whom seems to have discovered all at once that the tenderloin in it's present location is a menace to the safety of the town from fire and to the morals of the public generally?
 To anyone knowing the habits and modes of thought of few members of the Council, the idea will at once suggest itself that there is graft of some kind in the pro- posed deal. There is someone to be bene- fted by it. Of course, not one of the inn maculate councilmen would soil his hands with small graft, especially if there was any probability of the graft being increased in size, but the councilmen may have a few "advisers and immediate friends" who hope to profit by the deal. The fact of the mat. ter is that three or four councilmen and a |self-constituted "kitchen cabinet" seem to have banded themselves together in an at. tempt to gather any spells that may be in sight. There may be no graft in the ten. derloin proposed deal. But the majority of the people will have to be "shown."

SEATTLE GALL IN EVIDENCE.

Seattle newspaper publishes an article in which it is claimed that ito Seattle be- longs the credit of being the first place in the United States where tin ore has been smelted." It then goes on to tell how a Seattle assayer treated tin ore, after con- siderable difficulty, his first attempts be- ing failure. Seattle is nothing if not gally. Tin ore was smelted in the United States before the townsite of Seattle had been cleared of it's fir trees. and clans were still to be gathered for the diurnal break fast on the shores of Elliott bay Nome assayers smelted tin ore long before any Seattle newspaper knew of the existence of tin ore in Alaska, and before it's young men write silly claptrap about things of which they know absolutely nothing, they should be given few instructions by their super iOrs, it being granted that their superiors have little intelligence, information and education themselves which the same seems to be doubtful, if one is to judge them by their lucubrations!
 It is no part of the desire of this paper to detract from the glory, real or alleged of Seattle. It is great town, of few years growth. Everything is grist that comes to it's mill. Alaska, in the eyes of the average Seattleite is an annex of Seattle and every. thing that comes out of Alaska is due to the energy and enterprise of Seattle This may serve to fool the chechako who reaches Seattle en-route to Alaska, but it will fool no one else. Seattle has despoiled Alaska and Alaskans Her enterprising business men look upon Alaska as a big juicy orange to be sucked dry, and they act accordingly. If ton of tin ore comes out of Alaska, Seattle manages to extract little credit for itself; it may be like extracting sunbeams from cucumbers, but cheerful, unconscious, all-embracing Seattle smilingly takes what credit it can. If $4,OOO gold nugget is found in this section Seattle manages to shine by it's reflected radiance, and yet when it comes down to real business Seattle is ready to skin the Alaskan every time, and to sell him gold brick whenever it is pos sible Such is Seattle enterprise-and gall
 While Seattle has not smelted the first tin ore in the United States, to it belongs the credit of "skinning or attempting to skin," nine -tenths of the people who ever passed through Seattle n-route to Alaska

A FAILING CROP.

Fake mining companies have been the curse of every community. They do more to retard it's growth than any other cause They flourish because people are gullible and are ever looking for some ''get-rich. quick scheme And there are always schemers at hand to show them how. Scores of salleged mining companies have been floated on the outside to exploit the mineral resources of Alaska, but of the many such concerns, how many have been bona fde They may be counted on the fingers of one hand. Most of the others were organized for purely "skinning" purposes. They were instituted to fleece the suckers, who, like the poor, are always with us. And the pity of it is that the average sucker can seldom afford to be plucked. In these fake mining corporations the victims have usually been men and women who could i'll afford to lose their hard earned dollars. A plausibly told story, an exhibit of gold and nuggets ''from the far North,'' excited their cupidity, and, in the vernacular, they "loosened up," only to repent at leisure
 The story told on another page of this paper goes to show how some swindlers have prospered at Alaska's expense. The story is true one and it points it's own moral. What Alaska needs is real miners: given these the money to open the mines will be forthcoming. Work only counts in the development of a mining country. The time has passed when the sale of "wildcat'' property can be made. The past few years have "wised up" the perennial crop of suckers, and those that are left are not bit. ing very rapidly.

himself concerning it, talks like an ass. He knows as much about Alaska as he knows about the interior of darkest Africa or the inhabitants of Mars, and when he gets into print he proves it. Among other things, Senator Hepburn is quoted as saying:
 "A territorial form of government is de- sired by faction in Alaska and it has been argued that the revenues derived by the federal government in Alaska are sufficient to pay the costs of territorial form of gov ernment But most of these revenues are collected by the federal government through forms of taxation general throughout the country, and the federal government cannot consent to give up these revenues. To do so would be to go into the treasury of the federal government to pay Alaskas local costs"
 The above statement is neither truthful which might be excused coming from any, one but senator of the United States
 Most of the revenues derived by the fed. eral government in Alaska are not ''col- lected through forms of taxation general throughout the country as Senator Hey burn, of Idaho, states. These taxes are special, and not general and apply solely to Alaska, which is taxed as is no other part or parcel of the United States. If the quoted statements which we reproduce from the Seattle Post -Intelligencer are correct, Idaho, when she elected Mir. Hepburn to the United States senate, made no improvement upon Senator Heitfield the farmer -populist.

J. J. Berringer formerly public analyst of the county of Cornwall, England, where the famous tin mines are being worked, says in his work on assaying, that the ore taken from the Cornwall mines contains only two to five per cent. of cassiterite (contaning from 90 to 95 per cent. of oxide of tin) the remainder of the lode being made up of quartz, feldspar, chlorite, schore and other stony materials, together with more or less mispickel, iron and copper pyrites, oxide of iron and wolfram.
 Tin, in nature, occurs as caSSiterite whole of the tin of commerce is derived. Tin also occurs as sulphide combined with sulphides of copper and iron in the mineral stannine or bell metal ore.

AN IGNORANT U. s. SENATOR.

United States Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, was in Seattle last November en route to Valdez, and he talked with a newspaper re- porter concerning the "needs of Alaska. " Senator Heyburn's statements remind one of Josh Billings saying: "You'd better not know so much than know so many things that ain't so" The average United States
 statesman" who talks of Alaska it's needs and requirements, without having visited the country or having endeavored to inform

Councilman Ed. E. Hill, it is stated, will ask his understudies in the city council to provide him with body guard, so that his precious blood shall not be split by any measly assassin in the shape of federal official In the meantime he will have a suit of chain armor forged which will cover his rotund form, except the rear. Any das tardly federal official who has designs on the councilman's life will, therefore, have a difficult job on hand. The counclmans life, twice protected, ought to prove invulner- able. A weak spot, however, may be found on top or in the unprotected rear.

suit instituted against him by William
Martin. Martin asks $4,000 damages
from Reid on the allegation that Reid
alienated from him the affections OF
the former Mrs. Martin, who Is like
wise the present Mrs. Reid,
The answer recltes that on February
10. 1903, Bertha Martin commenced an
action tor divorce from her husband
in Muitnomah county, alleging that her
husband had treated her in cruel and
mhuman manner and that he had
threatened to kiu her. that she was
granted a divorce on April 10, and that
the allegations were proven TO be true,
II Is further stated In the answer that
the cruelty of Martin towards his wife
compelled her to leave him. and this
circumstance is alleged to be bar to
proceedings against Reid on the part
of Martin with the allegation OF aliena-
ton of Mrs, Martins affections.
Martins attorneys yesterday filed n
reply to this answer, in which II Is
contended that the allegations in the
answer are insufficient to meet the
complaint. The reply was argued by
the attorneys. Martins representatives

vorce proceedings of Mrs. Martin did
not affect in any way the suit Of Mar
tin against Reid. while Reid's attorneys

this point the case hinges. Judge Nc

Welded BLISS IS BRIEF.
Bride Of Few Days Charged With
Completely in Land Frauds.

Los Angeles, Feb. 26.--Charged with
having been associated with Carl An
derson in the wholesale fraudulent land
deals, to which she has confessed, Mrs.
f. w. Allen bride of two days. was
taken into custody today In Pasadena
and brought to the Los Angeles jail.
She confessed her guilt but claims that
what she did was done without guilty
knowledge Of Anderson's intentions.
She was married on Sunday to f. w.
Allen, u wealthy oil man of Pasadena.
Before that her name was Massey, and
it was only by learning that a woman
named Massey had been married that
the detectives were able to locate her.
According to the woman's, confession,
Anderson came to her last September
and asked her to represent herself to
be Mrs. Mary A. Griswold, with whom
he said he was in a real estate deal.
He offered to pay her SIS, and for that
sum she went with him to the notary
public, signed a deed in the name Of
Mrs. Griswold, made affidavit that she
was Mrs. Griswold and acknowledged
the execution Of the deed.
With this deed and copies OF 1t which
he himself forged. Anderson went to
Omaha and sold the property Of Mrs.
Griswold to a wealthy citizen. Then
he went to Kansas CITY, and then to
Chicago, selling the property at each
of the places and sometimes to sew
eral purchasers. The amount he Sc
cured was large and he returned here
a rich man, but was arrested Sunday
night and confessed. He declares he
will plead guilty in court. He confirms
the statement of the woman that she
did not participate with him In dl-
vision Of the money he thus secured,
but she had acknowledged that she
committed felony and will be prose-
cu.ed. Her husband knew nothing Of
the transaction, and now threatens to
sue for divorce at once.
