Denver, Jan. Sat q Joint session
Of the Senate and House at 10:45
O'Clock last night Alva Adams was de-
clared governor-elect OF Colorado. He
will be inaugurated next Tuesday and
is now engaged in preparing his mes
sage.
This result Is said to have been
brought about by an agreement be-
tween the Republicans and Demo
Gratis, the latter being assisted by
enough anti-Peabody Republicans to
give them control OF the Senate and
the ability to block the appointment OF
Supreme Court Judges.
It is understood that Governor Pea
body will Immediately file a contest for
the ONCE Of governor. which is ex-
pected to result in the appointment Of
a special committee to make an inves-
tigation Of the Denver elections and
probably the elections in several
other counties in the state.
In the afternoon. before the canvass
by the joint session, Governor Pea
body sent to the Senate for confirma-
ton as justices Of the reorganized Su-
preme Court the names Of Luther M.

These appointments were consid-
cred by the Senate both before and
after the joint session, but have not
yet been confirmed.

Fourteen Millions for Alaska.

Back in the sos Capt. James Car roll, who is now taking a summer outing" to Alaska with the excur- sion steamer Spokane, presented credentials and asked for his seat in the lower house of congress as the delegate-elect from Alaska.
 A,number of the members were disposed to treat the matter more in the nature of joke, as though he were an Esquimau from the north pole instead of the accredited representative of a great country like Alaska. It was even asserted that the newly acquired possession was of little or no value ana if only for polar bears and totem poles
 Capt. Carroll retorted by saving. "Gentiemen, how much will you take for Alaska? Ii you think the country isn't worth anything Tll make you an offer of sl4,OOOOOO and pay you the cash. inside of thirty days."
 As matter of fact and of record in the eastern newspapers published at the time, this offer was actually made, as evidenced by an extract from an interview published in an eastern paper in which the captain said: My 3fier to congress to pur- chase Alaska was made in good faith.
 T went to Washington city 10. the purpose of getting justice for our people. This We have never received. l had stopped in Chicago on my way east and had, while there, received assurance to invest Tn this scheme which 1 had in mind when 1 saw the government was unwilling, to,do anything for us in the way of legislation.

 "Voluey T. Hoggatt. formerly of Valdez. has been here on business connected wi.u one of the depart ments. He says that he was for merlv friend of Judge James Wickersham of the third judicial division, but that he has withdrawn his friendship for good and suflic- tent reasons. Hoggatt, who is a picturesque Westerner of the Okla homa type, was attorney year or 30 ago in some litigation involving valuable copper properties nea' Valdez. Tine Havemcycrs, the ric. sugar lords of New York, were th, defendants, and they won the suit, and it is alleged that but for their backing of Wickersham, the presi- dent would not have sent Wicker sham's nomination. to succeed him- self. to the senate three consecutive times, the senate each time refusing to confirm the nomination"

MESA
COUNCIL HAD TROUBLE.

The common council of Mesa City met Tuesday night especially to lear the kicks of the property owners against the increase of taxes lately assessed by the council. It was rum ored that there would be something g doing but the council was there to receive and hear the kicks of the cit izens, and it developed during the eve ming that they had acted with consid- erable judgment and care, and while in some instances the valuation was high, yet where a mistake had been made and it was pointed out to them they were ready to correct it at once. The house was filled, but the idea was somewhat vague as to what change sent out only indicated that the Yalu- ation of the property had been raised. The reason for the raise was made plain to the citizens to be because of the fact that the last legislature had passed a law that restricted the tain population could be taxed, the amount that applied to Mesa being three per cent. This low per cent, with the former valuation, would not give sufficient money to run the af
 fairs of the city, so an increase was made in the valuation, but the amount of taxes was but little higher, and in some instances was less than for the year 1904. Every man present, and
