partment to allow federal troops to

as usual in the private dining room,
the president had the table set on

JAPS OBJECT
TO POLL TAX

Deputy Sheriff McCulloch returned
yesterday from the scene of the Jap
disturbance near Ashford, on the Ia
coma Eastern. The trouble arose
over the polltax being deducted from
their wages. About 40 or SO Japs
cornered the paymaster and would
lave taken the poll-tax out of his
hide had not the deputy sheriff pro-
tected him. These Japs have to pay
10 cents each per month to Contrac-
tor Remington, who secures the work
for them, and this additional So tax
was the last straw
The moving spirit of the disturb
ance was Jap from the Vancouver
fisheries, who wanted help there and
was only too glad to get these men
to jump the job AS a result the
paymaster and about 20 more Japs
quit work and returned to Tacoma
and will soon start for Vancouver.
Mr.. McCulloeh says the railroad
to Ashford is about completed and
trains will be running to that place
by Saturday next.

CHARGE CRAFT

SEATTLE, June %. Later arriv-
ais from Dawson declare that a
change of administration is about
due in Yukon Commissioner Con-
don, whose position In Yukon is the
same as Governor Brady's In Alaska,
has been charged with the most cor
rupt practices and double dealing.
Graft, despite the strict Canadian "
bel laws, Is used without hesitation

The Yukon Sun, for a long time a

the Liberal party in Yukon, and, APP

issue predicts a change In the follow
ing scathing criticism OF the govern
ment wing.
''Incompetency, graft and extrava-
gance in administration can exist
just so long as a people affected
thereby will allow them to exist.
When that condition first stuck up
its head in Yukon, It was the Liberal
party of Yukon, the party that was to
be held responsible for all wrong and
mlsdoing among the appolntees of
its party, that took up the work OF
bringing about better condition OF
affairs here. They have fought the
fight nobly in the face of all the harm
II might mean to the party, and they
have gained the respect and admira-
ton OF all honest people OF every par

will not desist until il U.s.

see graft and ring rule, incompe-
tency and dlshonor. banished from

will condition of czar-rule and PEN

flourish here in the Yukon as the real
thing in government, nor will the

les received in fight with another
dog several months ago.
Ticket" was owned by Chester Ma
son, assistant agent for the Hartman
lines here, but the dog merely made
his headquarters with Mason, as he
was almost continually on the road.
When only year old, over six years
ago, he took his first railroad trip,
and afterward he spent the greater
portion Of his time on trains in Utah,
Idaho and Nevada. He was well
known among the railroad men who
never interfered with his trips and
let him wander at his will He knew
where to find the chef in his galley
on the train and was on hand regu-
larry for his meals He was a regular
freuuenter every season of Garfield
beach, where he ,would watch the
dancers on the pavilion for time
and then take the train back to town.
While gentle with children, he was
a hard fighter, and never overlooked
an encounter with other dogs He
was also a terror 5oftfamps, and in
his travels curtailed many hobo's

party given by RAILROAD man and
was given a saucer fof champagne,
which was much to his liking. He
INDUCED to such an extent that he
became intoxicated and riotous, final
ly destroying his reputation for
harmlessness and gentleness by at
lacking a policeman who tried to lock
bin up and biting him severely. He
was saved from the official penalty
of resisting an officer by the impor.
tunities of his friends.
During his career as railroad dog
Ticket received many presents in
Guiding handsome collars and solid
silver dish bearing his name.
When Ticket passed away the
railroad men passed the hat and
bought an infants coffin in which the
little canine's remains were buried,

BURGLAR PROVED TO HAVE
Been FOUR YEAR old BOY

The household of Ferdinand C.
Warnke, of Twelfth and Junett
streets, in which the utmost serenity
ordinary prevails, was thrown into
the widest excitement this morning,
when Mrs. Warnke discovered that
her valuable watch had disappeared
during the night. A search was at
once instituted for the missing time
piece, but after two hours Of vain
hunting, in which Mr., Warnke, Mrs.
Warnke and Miss Warnke had par
ticipated, the conclusion was reached
that burglars had paid the Warnke
home visit, and the police were
notified of the loss.
In the meantime Ferdinand c. the
second, aged years, was sleeping
peacefully. He had not been in
formed of the terrible loss that had
fallen on the Warnke home. Under
his head his miniature overalls were

nous "tick-tick" sounding in his ear
served as the accompaniment of his
dreams.
Finally the hour arrived for young
Ferdinand to be aroused from his
sleep. His mother walked him as
usual and went about dressing the
youngster. when suddenly the highly
valued watch dropped from the rear
pocket of Freddy's overalls.
Mrs. Warnke was speechless, while
a stern expression came over MIR.
Warnke's face, Freddy himself was
surprised. He had almost forgotten
that he took the watch from the
dresser and put it in his pocket be-
fore going to bed last night,
The mystery, however, was solved

call off the detectives. and incidental

the belief that the robbers had con-

Destiny of the Nation.

The fate of nations is still de-
eided by their wars. You may talk
of orderly tribunals and learned ref
erees; you may sing in your schools
the gentle praises of quiet life; you
may strike from your books the last
note of every martial anthem, and
yet, out in the smoke and thunder
will always be the tramp of horses
and the silent, rigid, upturned face
Men may prophesy and women pray,
but peace will come to abide forever
on this earth only when the dreams
of childhood are the accepted charts
to guide the destinies of men. Ev-
ents are numberless and mighty, and
no man can tell which wire runs
around the world. The nation bask
ing today in the quiet and content
ment and repose may still be on the
deadly circuit and tomorrow with
ing in the tolls of war. This is the
time when great figures must be kept
in front. If the pressure is great,
the material to resist it must be
granite and iron. Whether we wish
it or not, America is abroad in this
world. Her interests are on every
street, her name is on every tongue.
Progress and Courage.
