J. P. Rogers, who was in charge of the Investigations here and at Catalla for the Guggenheims, in an interview at Juneau said the location of the terminus for this projected railroad had been de- cided upon at last and work will start next spring. He conveyed the impression that Catalla would be the starting point, but later developments make it appear that he was either trying to mislead the Juneauites, or else he did not know whereof he spoke.

It behooves the mining and busi- ness men of this section to get to- gether and begin to make arrange ments for gathering a good exhibit for the Alaska fair at Seattle in 1909. While that time may seem long way off it is none too long a time in which to accumulate a good exhibit. It requires much time and labor to get specimens from all of the properties in the great copper belt, and every pros pect should be represented in the display. Why wouldn't 1t be a good thing for the mining ex- change and the chamber of com merce to take up this matter?

One of the most needed pieces of legislation for Alaska is the re- vision of the present Codes. It will not be sufficient to patch them up from time to time for they are, as a whole, illadapted to the peculiar needs of this Territory. There is no practical lawyer who will not concur in this statement and the imperfections rebound entirely to the disadvantage of the litigant. These Codes were hastily passed in 1900 and were ill-considered at that time. They were a hotch- potch extracted from the Codes of other states, notably Oregon, and their application to the Alaskan situation was the last thing con- sidered.

The revenue cutter Perry has re- turned to Seattle with the annual story of suffering and want at Attu island. Possibly tradition may create the tie which binds the in- habitants of that barren spot to the home of their ancestors, but 1t would seem no more than ordinary humanity for the government to forcibly remove them to some more favorable place of habitation.- Juneau Dispatch.

SHIP DISAPPEARS
IN THE DARKNESS
Second Vessel Reported to Have
Been Destroyed-AlI on Board
But One Saved-First Mate Re-
lates Awful Experience.

bayfield,, Wis, Dec. 17.-Thirty-o
men are believed to have lost their
lives by the sinking of the steamship
Manistique in Lake Superior. The
steamer Ireland was again wrecked
and is believed to have foundered. All
but one of the crew were saved by the
tug Crosby, which, although leaking
badly, effected the rescue.
The Ireland, in tow of the Man
istique, left Bayfield, for Duluth. At
about midnight, nearly frozen and
wrapped IN bandages, the crew of the
Ireland, with one missing, returned
on the Crosby, which was barely able,
to hobble into port as the result of a
collision with the Ireland.
First Mate Tells Experience.
In an interview Saturday the first
mate Of the Ireland said: 1--WE were,
forced to turn in the heavy seas. It
was about seven o'clock. The Man
istique was towing us and the tug
Crosby was following. Suddenly the
tow line broke and caught in our
wheel and the sea broke our rudder.
We then fell into the trough of the
sea. The sea washed everything loose
overheard, including the air COM
pressor, which was all that kept US
afoat. We blew the distress signals,
but the Manistique had disappeared
in the darkness and we never knew
| what happened to her and never saw
her again. The tug Crosby came to
/ our rescue, came to us on the lee side.
Waterman Is Drowned.
"Watchman Andy Dillon jumped but
disappeared In the boiling sea. The
Crosby circled around us and came
back again and two more seamen,
Wheelsman Zimmerman and Oiler
fShoreman jumped. Zimmerman struck
his head on the deck and cut his
head open and was in an uncon-
sscious condition. Shoreman struck
the deck of the Crosby and broke a
leg and an arm. The Crosby was
thrown against the Ireland and badly
injured, but stood by us until the
entire crew with the exception of
Andy Dillon, was saved. Then we
bucked the heavy seas, and after a
terrible struggle in the small tug,
succeeded in getting into shelter of
the island. Every mans clothing was
frozen on him"
The two injured seamen are In
the hospital here and are in a very
serious condition.

president had declared that the rec

ommendation in his annual message
was misunderstood. In that message
he said that if it were found inexpedi1
ent to pass the senate bill measure
should be passed to provide for a few

Roosevelt Ends New Spelling.
President Roosevelt will withdraw
Ms simplified spelling order to the
public printer, and hereafter all doc:
uments from the executive depart
ments again will be printed in the
old-fashioned style.
Representative Lands of the joint
committee on spelling had confer,
ence with the president, when the
| president said he did not wish to
| have spelling overshadow matters of
greater Importance, and expressed a
willingness to revoke his order for
the new spelling in case the house
of representatives should go on rec
ord as opposed to the system. Accord
ingly, later in the afternoon, Mr..
Lands presented in the house q reso-
luton against the reform spelling,
which was passed unanimously.
The simplif1ed form of spelling will
be continued at the white house in all
correspondence emanating from there,
Notwithstanding what action may be
taken by congress in the matter of
spelling of public documents. The use
of the simplified form Will include all
correspondence passing between the
white house and public officials, per
sonal correspondence Of the president
and, in fact, all communications which
do not require printing at the govern
ment printing Office or any of Its
| branches.
What probably will be the last act
of the house on the subject of simpli
fled spelling occurred Friday when or
motion of Representative Tawney
chairman of the committee on appro
priations, the house without debate
or division struck out of the legisla
tive, executive and judicial bill the
provision relative to spelling. The &C

Democrats OPPOSE
SALARY increase
MANY SOUTHERN coNGREssMEN
TO VOTE AGAINST MEASURE
IN HOUSE.
SHAW ADVOCATES AN
ELASTIC CURRENCY
Discusses Proposition Before Commit
tee-special Message on Ship Sub
sidy-Roosevelt to Withdraw Sim
pllfied Spelling Order.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Prospects OF
an increase in the salaries of mem
bers of congress to $500 were cloud
ed Friday when it was discovered by
the Republican leaders that the Dem
ocrats were preparing to vote against
the proposition. 1t has been under
stood all along that a majority OF
the Democrats would support the
amendment, but canvass of the sit
uation shows that not more than one
third of them are willing to go on rec
ord on roll-call.
The opposition is confined largely
to the southerners and least osten-
tatious members, who expend $4,000
of their salary and save $4,000. Most
of them come from communities
where $4,000 is regarded as more
money than man can honestly earn
in a year. Democrats and Republic
ans alike from the more populous
manufacturing districts of the north
are a unit for the increase, but the
republicans decline to shoulder the
political responsibility alone.
Shaw Favors Credit Currency.
Secretary Shaw appeared before
the house committee on banking and
currency Friday in advocacy of a
high taxed credit currency suggesting
five per cent as a desirable rate. He
emphasized the need for great elas-
ITCHY in currency, but expressed the
opinion that the plan framed by the
American Bankers association will
not bring about sufficient elasticity to
be very useful Granting that the
bankers plan results in the issuance
of S2O0,000,000 additional in national
bank notes, Mr.. Shaw said that in
his opinion not more than $2O,O00,000
worth of these will be redeemed.
Mr.. Shaw thought the bankers
plan was wholly Inadequate to meet
the requirements of the commercial
world, and said it was incumbered
with too much machinery for the linn
tied good results he feels it is cap
able of accomplishing. He said he
did not want to he regarded as an
opponent of the measure suggested
BY the bankers, because he felt that
any step toward relieving the de-
mand for greater elasticity at certain
seasons of the year was desirable
but he argued that the committee
strive to frame more effective meas
ure.
