Galen, the new attorney general,
gives an opinion directly opposite to
that Of his predecessor.
In the decision of the supreme court
upon contest cases relating to the
judgeship in this district and in Sill.
yer Bow county, the question of a
vacancy existing at the time of the
election is not passed upon, an omis.
sion which is the subject of these re.
marks by the Great Falls Tribune:
There were two questions before the
court. First, whether McClernan,
elected in 1902 to the third Judgeship
in Silver Bow county, and Tattan,
elected at the same time in the Twelfth
district, were elected for four years
or only for two years. That is a con.
stitutiOnal question. Second, whether
last fall there was an election by the
people to fill the positions occupied
by these two judges. Decision of the
first question would have carried with
it, to some extent at least, the answer
to the second question. But in de-
Gliding the second question the court
expressly disclaimed having decided
the first question. saying that it was
not necessary to decide that question.
So the court left the really important
part of the constitutional question
undecided: and thus left staring the
people in the face the extreme prob.
ability of quo warranto proceedings
would make an enormous lot of
trouble.
The decision of the court in the
Stranahan and Breen cases that the
members of the former state board of
canvassers we're out of Office, and con.
.sequently could no longer be reached
by the writ asked for, was nothing but
a lodging of the question. The con.
stitutional question had precedence of
all others. 1t is immaterial whether
a given board is still in Office or is out
Office. 1t is most material what the
means, and when a con.
stitutional question is raised the SUI
preme COURTS the only body that, can
settle the matter.
Admitting that the supreme court is
loaded up with business, it is certain
" easier and more convenient to set.
lie a question that has been raised |
and on which arguments have been
presented, than to wait for the same
question to come up again, involving
rehearing of the same arguments.

STEAMER PORTLAND
WRECKED OFF ALASKA

KETcHIKAN. via juneau. Alas
ka. Dec. 23-The steamship Port
land, owned by the Alaska CONNER
Cial company. while en- route from
Kctchikan TO Seattle, ran aground
on Spire island. nine miles south OF
ketchikan. on December 81.
Thick weather had prevailed for
several days and the vessel lost
her bearings and piled up on the
rocks. The passengers have been
landed at Ketchikan and will be
transferred 20 Seattle by the first
southbound steamer calling at this
port. The Portland struck the rocks
early In the morning. The majority
Of the passengers were In their
berths when the crash came. All
rushed up on deck and for a. mo-
ment a panic seemed inevitable
Great eoolness was displayed by the
officers OF the vessel and In n short
time the fears of the passengers
we're allayed.
The Portland went out In COM
mand 81 Captain Lindquist. She left
Seattle bound for Valdez on No
vember 26. Southbound she left
Juneau at 3 o'clock last Tuesday
morning.
The vessel Was not running at
full speed nj the time she struck
II she had. IL Is more than likely
she would have gone down with all
on board.

directors will not uphold him In de-

dispatches are sent from Ketehikan
TO Juneau by boat, and from there
transferred TO Seattle by wire.
Unless later dispatches state
that the vessel has gotten off the
rocks. tug will be sent TO her as
sistance. The matter has been re-
ported to the san Francisco office,
which will take immediate steps 10
send relief TO the stranded steamer.
The Portland has many passen-
gers from Fairbanks. She brought
a cargo OF 100 tons OF ore from the
Ellamar mines

The Portland is insured Captain
Gibbs. OF the Marine Underwriters
OF .san Francisco. will probably take
charge of salvaging the steamer. I'm

rocks under her own steam.
