i r Edward R. Dunn,Ewho contributed
 Sl00 toward paying the expenses of the
 Southeastern Alaska delegate at Wash
 ington, ,one of the wealthiest mine own
 CTS in the Nome country, where he
 made his fortune at practical mining,
 gave S200 to assist the sufferers from
 the Wrangell fire. Was that for the
 purpose of buying Southeastern Alaska
 for Perkins?-Skagway Alaskan.
 It is believed that great majority of miners are becoming settled in the
 opinion that the fewer changes at
 tempted iu the mining laws just at this
 stage of affairs in Alaska the better it
 will be. Probably all realize that the
 laws are not perfect; but there are few CT risks in letting them alone than undertaking changes that might turn out for worse. Some such thought as this must have possessed Henry Papin when he wrote as follows from Seattle: "There are a number of per sons in Washington trying to have congress pass some laws for Alaska.
 Whether the laws will be for the inter- est of the people of Alaska in general, or for their own good, 1 do not know. 1 think we should have some one from Alaska to see that the laws they want to pass will be of some benefit to us. We have plenty of mining laws, and they are very good; although good many have abused them in Alaska EX.
 A new bill relating to the Alaska fisheries has been introduced in the house and will probably become law. The main features of the new bill are as follows: "The license taxes on fish are as follows: Canned salmon, cents per case; pickled, 10 cents per barrel; salt, cents per 100 pounds; fish oil 10 cents per barrel; fertilizer, 20 cents per ton. Exemption is provided for hatch cry owners at the rates of ten cases of canned salmon for every 1000 red, or king, salmon fry that are liberated, the statement of the same to be made under oath and the hatcheries subject to inspection under the secretary of commerce and labor. The money de- rived from these taxes shall be placed in permanent fund to be used under the direction of the secretary for the construction and maintenance of hatcheries in Alaska and for the en- forcement of the fisheries laws. twill be unlawful to use any fish trap,wheel, or other device, except for the purpose of fish culture, in any waters where the distance from shore to shore is less than 800 feet or within 800 yards of any red salmon stream which is less than 800 feet in width, and the secretary is to destroy any such ob- structions that are found. It will be unlawful to set any trap, seine, etc., across more than one-third of the width of any stream or estuary. No seine can be set within 100 yards of any other seine, nor can a trap be con- structed within 600 yards laterally, or 100 yards endwise, of any other trap. It is also made unlawful to take any Salmon except by rod, spear or gaff from a. m. Saturday till 6 a. m. Mon day, and there can be no catching of fish, except in the way mentioned from 6 a. m. to 6p. m. in any stream less than 100 yards in width.

Wouldn't that jar you? 1t struck the
funny place all over us. We are often
mistaken in our conviction and some
times honestly get on the wrong side
of the fence on a question (you never
find us .'astradle' trying to keep a
foot on both sides) but we did not
think that anyone claiming to be our

integrity. Mr.. Cromer never paid us

the regular price of his candidate an

never intimated that he would ever
receive any more consideration at his
hands than any other voter in the
District. The Herald may not be as
much as some of them in a political
way b ut such as it is, it is not for
sale and the man who would try to
buy its influence isn't very well ac-
quainted with the Editor and would
be told pretty emphatically where to
get off. We have tried to build a true
character and have tried to instill
that very character into our paper
little dreaming that we had friend"
who would accuse us of selling our
birthright. 1t is just such work as is
typified by this unsigned and the us

number of birds within the state,
with the coupon attached.
The big game laws were left with
out any charge, as the sportsmen and
others interested west Of the Mis-
souri, River, are to hold meeting to
draft suitable law for their needs.
Minnesota's fish laws were adopted
in the bill as far as they apply to the
game of the state, the only exception
being trout which was left open, as
was the game animals, for the sports-
men of the western part of the state
to frame the bill.
The committee adjourned to meet

FATAL ACCIDENT
IN HYDE COUNTY
Thresher Crushed Between En-
gine and Separator of his
Machine

Highmore Herald. On last Tues
day John Garvie and Marion Young
were moving the threshing rig be-
longing to Garvie, from Mr. Roe's
farm near Peno, to the farm of j. r.
Coulter, in the neighborhood. On
the way while attempting to get the
rig across creek the accident oc-
Cured. 1t seems they had got the
separator and engine at the bottum
of the dry gully, and had detached
the engine for the purpose OF run
ming it up the opposite bank alone,
and were then intending to draw the
separator up with cable. When the
engine, which was being managed
by deceased, had reached the top
of the bank the reverse lever broke
and the engine being no longer .un-
der control dashed down the steep
bank and Garvie was caught between
the separator and the engine, The
force of the impact was across the
middle of the body crushing it.
Mr. Young was unable to render
any assistance, 1t required three
teams of horses to remove the separ-
ator to disengage the body.
