In the case of the United States ys Geo. Kyrage, it is Mir. Barnes contention that the United States courts have no jurisdiction, be- cause in all incorporated towns in Alaska nothing is misdemeanor unless so declared by the council and then the only court having jurisdiction is the municipal court and that in all incorporated towns in Alaska no one is compelled to pay any license for any branch ol business until the council fixes the license. Especially is the whiskey business free of all federal license law. He has voluminous authori- ties to sustain his position and the argument will be interesting to those now paying license.

NEWS WAYS WITH WATCHES
Some Careless and Some Careful as They Are with Other Be-
 longings.

"A watch ought to be cleaned once in say Is months or two years," said the jeweler, relates the New York Sun, "but how often it would need to be cleaned and how often mans watch might stand in need of repairs would depend a good deal on the man himself: on how he used it.
 "On how he used it? Doesn't q man just put his watch in his "ocket and carry it? Is there any difference in the ways in which men use their wutchcs?"
 Why, there's all the difference in the world. just as there is in the ways in which men use their clothes or other belongings. One man, for instance. will put on q new oyercoat and have it looking ike an old one in q month. and an. other one will wear the same over. eat two seasons and come out with it at the end of the second season looking fresh and in good order. And one man will make | new watch look like an old one in TO time, and another will in th. same way. and without carring it in Il chamOis bag OF anything of that sort. always have his watcl, looking new and in good coudi. -'ion. One man will take out his watch to look at tl,e time any. where when the wind is hlowinc ''st ai0n" the street. or in the rain or the snow, while another nan will be thoughtful of such 'hings and not get cut his watch t0 lock at if where it would ha cx.

According to the decision in the case of Kinghorn vs Andrak at Fairbanks, the discovery of colors in muck or gravel does not consti- tute discovery.
 Discovery of precious mineral is necessary to be made to hold any and every twenty acre mining claim, without regard to the forma- tion of associations.
 This ruling. being law, the asso- citation claim or claims, whereby 16O acres becomes, practically, the size of the placer mine in Alaska, and whereby one hole little ways in the ground is sufficient to meet the requirements for representa- tion for eight claims, is done away with and no longer exists-never did exist under the law.

Valdez, Oct. P, 1905. Editor of the ALASKA PRospEcToR.
 Valdez, Alaska.
 Dear Sir;-Noting a paragraph in your edition of the 26th, dealing dealing with the establishment of a Jewish colony at Port AXel (near Aurora) l take tine liberty oi recti- lying an error the cause of which l am rather inclined to ascribe to the personality of Mir. Friedman, who is taking d flyer up to Port Axel on important business--in the capacity of watchman for the Development Co.
 The intended colony has nothing to do with the with the importation of Hebrews into Alaska, unless yoll mistake a Finlanaer fer Jew, which might be a risky thing at times. The colony will be made up entirely of Finlanders, freshly imported from Finland, and for that reason it has not been neces- sary as yet to make provisions for the establishment of a synagogue.
 l. myself, am bound for Port Axel, being sent there by an east ern syndicate (the head of which is Henry Blitz & Co.,, New York; to decide upon the merits of the colo- nizatiOn scheme, and Mir. A. Wid- enius is travelling in my company to assist me in gathering the necessary data.
 l have no connection whatever with Mir. Friedman, and will thank you for kindly giving the above a place in the next edition of your paper.
 Yours very truly, O. ULLMAN.

The Daily Gold Digger has al- ways been opposed to the holding of the Alaska convention in Seattle and has made frequent mention of its reasons therefor. But it seems that the Seattle pull and the ques- tion of convenience to few poll- ticians with an axe to grind and the representative of corporations settled the matter of holding the convention at home. Alaska con ventions will have to be held in Alaska hereafter, and it was a good time to start home rule and self government with this first Alaska convention, bu, after all is said and done, we do not believe the convention will "cut much ice" Nome Gold Digger.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The oues-
tion of what the policy of the Govern
ment should be with respect to the
~threshed out in the House to-day dur
ing the consideration of the naval ap-
preparation bill, the debate developing
much opposition to the proposed addi-
tion of two battleships to the naval
establishment.
Beall of Texas, in opposing large ap-
preparations for the army and navy.
declared that the United States had
gone mad over the spirit Of militarism,
which was sapping the substance of
the people. The Government was pay
ing as much attention to Ceremonies
pomp and power as any Government
on EARTH and he said it was the most
eXtravagant Government In the world.
He compared the heavy army and
navy expenditures of this country
with those of other nations, and. in re-
ferring to Russia, said that she spent
more, but Russia is despot, a Gov
ernment hated by it's own people and
despised by the people of the world. -
and that she maintained her existence
by the power of her arms
Beall referred to the President's q
speech in New York on Monday night.
in which it was maintained that while
the United States should at all times
cultivate friendly relations with other
people and talk pleasantly to them.
the upbuilding of the navy must go on.
There was never nation that played
the bully among other nations Of the
world Beall remarked in that connec-
ton, that there was not some other ma
tion ready to engage in death strur-
gle with it, and he predicted history
would repeat itself with u.s."

WARR|NC HOUSEWIVES ENTERTAIN
COURT Of JUDGE CABAN|SS /
ONE OF THEM SHOCKS
PROFANELY REGRETS OLD AGE
OF THE COMPLAINING MATRON
BY JAMES @. CRAWFORD.

There was nothing in the testimony
to indicate just when and why the
friendship between Mrs. Della Kane
and Mrs. Stephen Sweetman gave way
to mutual disesteem. All that Police
Judge Cabaniss learned or attempted to
ascertain concerning the severance Of
their neighborly relationship consisted
in the disclosure that one day they
abruptly ceased borrowing household
necessaries from each other and therer
after were as far apart in thought and
deed as they formerly had been close
together. AS they and their respective
families jointly occupied the flat at 1914
Twentieth street it was absolutely i'm
possible for them to avoid meeting in
the hallway, but on such occasions it
was the effort of each to appear utterly
oblivious of the others being. BY tacit
understanding the common corridor
was divided by an imaginary line.
which both ladies respected until the
eventful day when Mrs. Sweetman had
Mrs. Kane arrested on the charge Of
having disturbed the peace.
From the statements of principals
and witnesses 1t appeared that Mrs
Kane was scrubbing her section of the
hallway when, either willfully or mad
Vertently, she tresDasSed upon the en-
emys territory and was sharply repri-
manded by Mrs. Sweetman. From that
point the testimony was apparently
prompted by the prediction of the de-
ponent Mrs. Kane's witnesses swore
that the unprintable language was
monopolized by Mrs. Sweetman, while
Mrs. Sweetman's witnesses as positive
ly averred that all the foul utterances
were delivered by Mrs. Kane. The
Kane contingent alleged that Mrs.
Sweetman cast aspersions upon the
Celtic race in general and Mrs. Kane
in particular and the Sweetman adj
herents asseverated that the manner in
which Mrs. Kane traduced the Fader-
land, of which Mrs. Sweetman is a
daughter, was frightful to hear.
From which it can only be inferred" :"

Cases of the Woman and the
Negro Will Again Come
Up in Pennsylvania Court

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 15.-On the
recommendation of the Board OF Par
dons to-day, Governor Pennypacker
withdrew the death warrants in the
cases OF Mrs. Kate Edwards, the white
woman, and Samuel Greason, the
negro, who were under sentence to
hang together at Reading tomorrow
for the murder Of Mrs. Edwards hus-
band in 1901 The case of Greason will
once again be taken to the Pennsyl-
vania Supreme Court and IL that
tribunal refuses to reopen the case,
the attorneys for Mrs. Edwards and
Greason will have to appear before the
Board Of Pardons next month.
The reason for the boards action was
read by the Attorney General. 1t Is as
follows:
In view Of the dissent on the part OF three
Justices Of the Supreme Court from the opin-
ion OF the court in refusing the petition OF
Samuel Greason for an order authorizing a
trial. and in view OF the statement OF
counsel for Greason that there are four wit
tions they desire to take and present to the
Supreme Court for its consideration, the ap-
plication for a continuance in the Edwards
case is granted. and the application for a
rehearing in the Greason case is granted.
READING, Pa, Feb. 15.-When the
news of the rehearing in the Greason
case and a continuance for Mrs. Ed
wards was sent to the Jail Mrs. Ed
wards was lying on her cot, moaning
and Sobbing.
1t was explaines. % her that she had
at least been granted a new lease OF
life. 1t was a long time before she
could be made to realize that she
would not have to hang tomorrow
She said that it appeared 10 her that
her life was only spared to prolong her
misery. She apparently realizes that
she was only saved from the gaIlows
to enable her to testify in favor OF
Greason-
After she had become more composed
Mrs. Edwards said: Thank God, you
could not have brought me better news.
/ know that I've done great wrong.
hut I'm not such a bad woman at
heart. / thank God again and thank
all my friends

cision, said: II knew 1t could not be

DUNCAN ID. McKINLAY.

Duncan z. McKinlay, Congressman
elect, Second District, was the next
speaker and the reception accorded to
him, like that given to Mr. Kahn, was
exceedingly cordial Mr.. McKinlay
deemed himself especially fortunate
that he had been for several days the
associate of the new Senator in visit
ing the great valley of the Sacramento
and on trips to Mare Island navy yard
and Oakland harbor McKinlay spoke
earnestly and intelligently on subjects
relating to reclamation of submerged
lands Of the great valley. He insisted
that reclamation was the great prob
lem of California and should engage
the consideration of the tax-paying
citizens of the State. He mentioned
that property to the value of ten mil
lion dollars had been destroyed by the
Edwards break in the Sacramento
levee. Engineers Of eminence, experts
in their profession, had presented a
plan of reclamation, but the complete
execution of the system would require
an expenditure of $24, 600, 900. 1t was
designed that the State should shoul-
of reclaimed lands $S,000,000 and the
United States Government $4,000 900.
The plan when carried out would add
the value Of 100000 acres of land to
the taxable wealth of the State. He
said:
Merchants may say, I'VE are opposed to
higher taxation" but they should count the
losses which come by floods sweeping over

lifting UP San Francisco. The problem Is one
