Sweeping Cuts Made in District East

Sweeping Cuts Made In DISTRICT East
OF Montana.
Just as the movement of the grain

them railroad has announced a sweep
ing reduction in grain rates through
out its eastern territory, extending to
the boundary of Montana. Three years
ago the road made important reduc-
tons in the western section. The new
rates, it is claimed, will add millions
to the potential resources of the far
mers of the northwest.
The reduction is not made, it Is
claimed, in pursuance Of any pressure,
but as a voluntary act and in the
policy of the road between the rail-
road and the tillers of the soil of the
northwest mat has been fundamental

This reduction of rates ranges from
cents per 100 pounds from the most
distant points to half cent from
points nearer the Twin Cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From Williston, N. D., distant from
the head of navigation GIG miles, the
reduction is cents per 100 pounds.

to be no increase OF rates elsewhere

Berlin Aug. 23.-The governor of
German East Africa telegraphs that
the situation in the colony has chang
ed for the worst. The emperor has
ordered two cruisers to proceed imme.
diately to East Africa. Reinforcements
also will be sent to aid the protect.
i've troops of the country.
Almost all the colonies are now in
revolt. The trouble is due to German
colonial methods. Already about 15,.
900 troops have been sent to Africa
The campaign in southwest Africa has
already cost about $62, 300, 900, with
practically nothing to show for it. 1t
has also cost over a thousand German
lives, among the killed being many
women and children, massacred by

Alaska forum., 1905-01-21

THE efforts of the Nome officials to have the present law regarding the In- dian whisky traffic repealed, ana ti1e substitution of another making it felony punishable by term in a pen etentiary, is most commendable. This paper has advocated such law for the past five years. 1t is the only method by which the hellish traffic can be ef- fectually stopped. We are satisfied as regards Rampant, that very little, if any whiskey, has been sold to natives this winter. The principal source of whiskey in this camp at the present time, is from men who use it as means to debauch the native womens' virtue.

their official position. There is no doubt that the deeper this thing is gone into the more complicated the affair will become. The guilty are the only ones who shirk thorough and rigid investi- gation. If these accused officials are innocent of charges tiled against them, and which have caused the tying-up eff reappointments for over seven months, why don't they throw open their doors and court clean and impartial investi- gation? Far from it. They have used their official power to protect and shield their corruption!

WE may say, however, for the sake of the Judiciary in Alaska, says the Nome Nugget, in which we all ought to feel interested in maintaining high standard of purity, integrity and ability we hope that the appointment of Judge Wickersham will be rejected by the senate, and that the applicant will be returned to the oblivion from whence, by one of those frequent and inexplic- able turns of political fortune, he came.

SATURDAY, JANUARY Zl, 19O5.
 THE sKAGWAY ALASKAN in comment ing upon Investigator" Days recom- mendations, says: +'Day was sent to Alaska by President Roosevelt as his personal representative, and he report ed directly to the president. No one should complain of the action of the president in sending personal repre- sentative to Alaska, and that he should follow the recommendations of that representative is natural. That is all Congress has left him to do. How else can he get information from this dis trict? He can talk with Alaskans at the national capital, it is true, but they disagree. Whose word is he to take? Is thers anything else for him to do, but to send some one whom he knows personally, and who occupies a respon- sible position of trust, to make the ex- animation? He cannot come himself. =
 The ALASKAN is right in portion of the above argument, but is entirely off it's feet, ! if it means to uphold Days actions and mode of procedure in pro- curing data on which to report the true status. We do not attempt to criticise the president in sending personal rep resentatiye. Every one knows that it would be impossible fer the president to personally visit the interior of Alaska. This was not expected, and when the people of the interior learned that special investigation had been appointed to personally investigate judicial affairs in all parts of Alaska, the general cry was heard; Justice has come at last!'' We do claim that Day betrayed trust reposed in him by the president, and took advantage of his high position to protect gang of corrupt, grating Federal officials. He thus attempted to belittle our people in the eyes of the nation, and stamp us as disreputable community. We are satisfied that the
Alaska forum., 1905-01-21
president himself would not have acted

as did this man Day.
 If Day was looking into the moral turptitude only of our Federal officials, he might just as well remained at Washington, and saved the government the expense of his junketing trip. If he was Investigating in the interests of good government equal rights and justice to all-when he arrived at this stronghold of illegal graft and official corruption: why did he refuse to hear testimony:-"I have not time to hear you" Had he remained in Rampant a few hours, it would have demonstrated to the people that he was the personal representative of a justice-loving presi- dent, and who would execute the trust reposed in him without fear or favor.
 We differ with the ALASKAN and hold that such a mans recomrnendati should not be considered by the chief executive in preference to the repre- sentations of the better class of Alas kans who visit Washington in the in terest of good government for Alaska. The President is man of the world as a statesman, and can judge for himself as to the caliber and well-meaning of those Alaskan representatives who visit the White House. The majority of these men certainly pride with more respect for the confidence of their con- stituents, than did Day for the trust reposed in him by the president.
 One thing is self evident; Day was betrayed by some one in whom he had placed confidence in, during his junket- ing trip, or he himself willfully betray- ed the trust reposed in him! If Judge Day had stopped at Rampant a few hours, and reduced to writing the tes- timony existing at this place, of actual facts relative to the corruption of the Federal officials of this division; and presented that evidence to the presi- dent along with his recommendation for Wickersham's reappointment, the president could not have thought other wise than his personal representative had become deranged. We do not mean to criticize the president for fol- lowing the recommendations of his rep resentative, unless it can be shown be- yOnl doubt that the representative was

THE INTER-MoUNTAIN FAIR

The premium lists are out for
the Idaho nter-Mountain Fair.
Every indication points to this
being the biggest, most attract
i've and successful exhibition ever
held in Idaho. 1t should be, and
every community in the state
should help to make it such. 1t
is to be held September 25 to 30,
and just about that time the
travel from this east, going to
and from the Lewis and Clark
exposition, will be at it's heavi-
est, and great percentage OF
the travellers will want to stop
over, either coming or going, to
view some of the wonders OF
Idaho's productiyeness. There
should be such a display of her
fruits, vegetables, grains, grasses,
livestock and minerals as has
never been made before. The
states great irrigation enter
prises and the opportunities she
is Offering for home building
should be set forth in some suit
able manner. Her mining re-
sources should be represented,
Her climate will extol itself in
our beautiful September days, it
is to be hoped, although just at
this season an equinoxial storm
may put on a damper.
Almost everybody is talking
OF Idaho now throughout the
east; what many eastern visitors
will see in the states exhibit at
Portland will only increase theiI
desire to see more of her won
ders. Let the management OIL
the fair cut out as many of the
sporting events" as practicable
and confine itself to showing the
many real advantages the state
can boast.

Ii Japan an1 Russia get to-
gether in arranging terms OF
peace, it is now conceded that it
will be altogether owing to the
powerful influence President
Roosevelt has exerted toward
effecting a settlement. That big
stick of the presidents has
sprouted an olive branch. Ii
Japan and Russia don't get to-
gether on peace terms at Ports
mouth, the Russian and Jap will
soon get together in Manchuria,
and there will be something do

history. Isn't that SO, Green
