why they keep ringing the COMPOUNDED

running over people while the old ma
chine is standing still at this time Of
night.
11:40-No use. I can't go to sleep
here. They've run the switch engine
away, but that fellow in the next berth
is going to die in a minute or two. No
man can use his breathing apparatus
to make such sounds as he's making

and family! It'll be sad task to break
the news to them.

12:33-Bang, once more. I'll bet the
man who's running that switch engine
never had hold of a throttle before.
But perhaps his brake is broken, so
that the only way he can stop Is by
running against something. I'm so
glad got here as soon as the car was

1:37-For heavens sake! They're
yelling at somebody now to get up on
the roof of this car and pour water into
it. I wonder if they didn't have tins

 The committee appointed by the late Alaska convention at Seattle, on future convention, are respectfully requested to carefully consider the following facts. The callissuded by the Nome Chamber of Commerce. contained this clause: 4
 \. the call for an election of delegates to this convention will be made at once.
 In pursuance to the call Nome itself, and Council held an election and the
 elegates.f from Seward peninsla were representatives in fact as in name. In the first division elections were also called and delegates duly elected by the people. In the third division the call for an election was ignored and every delegate appointed. This is how the delegates were elected at Valdez:
 Mir. Fish stated that the object of the meeting was to elect four delegates to to the territorial convention which had been called by the Nome Chamber of Commerce to be held in Seattle on Nov. 15, 1905. The call issued by the Nome Chamber was read, and motion was offered to the effect that the citizens of Valdez elect four delegates to attend the convention. Some onezt thought that this motion was unnecessary and moved the nomination of candidates be in or der. Fred M. Brown nominated Judge James Wickersham as one of the dele rates, and the names of Sam Blum, Ed
 mith and James M. Lathrop were of- cred in quick succession. A motion that the nominations close and that<the four men named be elected by acclima- tion prevailed and the chair declared Judge Wickersham. and Messrs. Blum, Smith and Lathrop the duly elected delegates. VALDEZ NEWS.
 At Fairbanks the same system was adopted, and at Rampant private or ganization met secretly and ''elected' one delegate; two others were after appointed by the local commissioner as requested by Johanson by telegraph from Seattle on the eve of the sitting of the convention. Every delegate so appointed from the third division was counted upon by the conspirators as solid for Wickersham. The people of this division owe debt of gratitude to those delegates from the third W ho as- rted their mnnhood and killed the u.-- ~ ,ly attempt to pack the convention.
 The gentlemen acting as committee in future are looked to for prevention of a repetition of such chicanery. Such practices continued would in time reI-

Rampant Indians PotIatch
 This Year at Fort HamIin

The greater portion of the local Ind ians left "Wednesday for Fort Hamlin where the Christmat potlatch will be this year. Last Christmas the Rampant Indians attended the festivaties of the Panama tribe at Panama.
 During the absence of the Indians at Hamlin their morals will be in the care of the Rev. Huhn, who accompanied the party in the capacity of sky pilot.
 The party was liberally supplied with liquid refreshment, according to late arrival from upriver, who reports that the trail of the Indians is marked by miscellaneous assortment of whisky and beer bottles. and that careful search failed to disclose any evidence of tracts.
 The distance from Valdez to Fair banks over the stage trail is 341 miles. The distances between roadhouses vary from 10 to 25 miles.

According to the Ann Arbor Times, an Illinois editor, who started about 20 years ago with 55 cents, is now worth $100, 1000. His accumulation of wealth is owing to his frugality. good habits, strict attention to business and the fact that an nncle died leaving him $99, ,998.
