In the Palace
 of the King
Dawson News.

Theodore Witte, the wealthy Cleary creek miner, who arrived here several days ago from visit to his old home in London, England, had glimpse of the luxury and splendor of royal life at Windsor, and five minutes previous to a reception at dinner in the palace by King Edward to the King of Greece Mr. Witte was escorted through the dining room and other parts of the palace in the magniticence of the preparations.
 Witte found the palace tables groan ing under waits of golden ware. Nearly everything in use upon the table was of gold. All plates used were of gold; all knives and forks were of the same pre- cious metal. During the feast each of the 100 walters who were to wait on the l60 guests in the company of the visitor and the host had stacks of golden dishes in charge for the various courses. Gold gathered from every quarter of the earth, gold from the conquest of ancient days, gold from the new possessions be- yond the seas, gold hallowed by connec- tion with events of great concern in the worlds history, gold contributed by the princes of Ind, gold from Ophir, from Australia, from the boiling tropics and the frozen north gold from every con ceivable source, moulded and made into articles of splendor that they might be used in morally impressing tine visitors of state with the tremendous wealth and importance of Britain as a factor in the worlds affairs.
 Ornaments and furnishings of dag zling beauty and incalculable wealth also occupied portions of the palace where the guests were received. Notable among them was large peacock done in pure gold and studded with countless jems of rarest rays serene, gathered from all corners of the earth and representing in the aggregate millions oi dollars.
 The gems, the rich plate and the orna- ments of the palace that Witte beheld he says amounted to such -tupendous figures that perhaps q billion dollars would be none too little tu attribute to the value of these precious historic heir looms and articles of Use in the palace of the king.

DELEGATE BILL
 CAUSES RIVALRY
Nelson and Cushman Each Wants the Credit for Giving Something
 Alaska Has Not Yet Got.

The Alaska delegate bill that passed the United States senate was the bill introduced by Senator Nelson. It pro- vided for an elect on to be held on the first Tuesday in August, and authorizes federal judges to fix the election pre- cincts, outside of incorporated towns.
 The bill which later passed the house of representatives was the Cushman bill, similar in all the essentials, but authorizing United States commissioners to fix the election precincts outside of incorporated towns. It was also stated some time ago that the Cushman bill prescribed a residence of only six months in Alaska as a qualification of voters, while the Nelson bill made a straight years residence essential.
 Intense rivalry seems to exist between Senator Nelson and Congressman Cush- man as to who shall have the credit for D obtaining for Alaska the privilege of sending a delegate to Washington. As Il consequence, it seems in no wise as sured that Alaska will get any such privilege from the present session of congress.
 The measure now seems to be up to the juggling of conference committee, the house members of which are Brick of Indiana, Powers of Maine, and Lloyd of Missouri, and the senate members, if named, are unknown here.
 Washington dispatches printed in Alaska papers say there is considerable uneasiness over the fate of the bill. Alaskans at the capital are in favor of giving to Congressman Cushman the credit for the measure.
 A dispatch, dated March l2 and print ed in the Fairbanks News, stated that when the Nelson bill passed by the senate) arrived in the hands of the house committee all but the euacting clause was stricken out and the Cush man bill was substituted. Another dis patch printed in the same paper under the same date said the only difference between the two bills is that regarding the the authority for prescribing the voting precincts.

TO PROSPECT
 FAR NORTH
MessrS. Marsh Work in Coniunc. ton With the United States
 Geological Survey.

The Alaskan announced that s. F. Marsh and F. B. Marsh, of the United States geological survey, arrived in Skagway Feb. 2S and departed for the interior intending to work from Fort Yukon through the koyukuk country to Herschel Island.
 Prospectors and others attach great interest to the work of the geological survey of Alaska, fully appreciating the reliability of the information furnished by that body, as well as the high per sonal qualities of the members with whom they have come in contact From an interview in the Dawson News, how ever, it appears that the Messrs. Marsh are not regular attaches of the geological survey, but are acting independently with prospecting and studying the na- tives as chief incentives of the trip. $. J. Marsh is the scientist and geologist and he is accompanied by F. B. Marsh, a nephew. The Firth river, at point about seventy miles from the Arctic coast, is the objective point of the party for the present. $. J. Marsh has been studying the geological, typographical and other features of the country on the Arctic slope, near Herschel Island, Fort McPherson and westward from the mouth of the Mckenzie river. He said to the News
 ''l am going back to study the coun- try on geological, typographical and such lines, and incidentally to prospect. l have not much to say as what l hope to find, but believe there may be gold in the country My reports have been re- ceived and published by the United States government as official, and the American revenue service will land some goods for me on the Arctic coast next summer. l am connected with the United States geological service to the extent that it assists me and accepts my reports, but am sufficiently independ- ent to do what please, and thus am at liberty to prospect all desire.
 "The country has fascination for me. During the several winters that | have spent there have taken great in terest in studying the natives and their habits and traditions find that the Esquimos are brighter than the neigh boring Indians. The Esquimos have many traditions. Many of these have learned, and have woven into book which | have written in story form based on fact and carrying the picture, of interest surrounding the tribes. tind that the Esquimos have many ideals that the whites well could emu late. They think themselves infinitely superior to the white man, and believe the whites inferior because the whites think always of gold and commercialisln and do not stop tu think of the beauties of nature as it is found tn primeval con dition-. Their sense of morality is high, and among them are many beautiful conceptions which would like to have the whites embrace. lt k with tLi. object largely that [ have written my back, hoping that it may assist in re- constructing their better motives"

THE ARIZONA CANAL
 FILLED WITH WAFER
The Damage by the Present Flood so
 far Slight.

The faces of the farmers under the Arizona canal, sucn of them as have been seen in town, are now wreathed in smiles and it is presumed the rest of them are similarly decorated. Salt river seems to be doing the right thing by them at last, but it is almost overdoing it in its enthusiasm. It was reported yesterday that the flood wa ter was filling the Arizona gates and the canal was carrying all it would comfortably and safely hold. By this time it must have reached the ranches and it is likely that most of the farm CTS spent last night with a lantern and shovel, a habit so long discontinued they had almost forgotten how. The only fear yesterday was that the river would get a little too high and again wash into the banks of the canal. but at last report yesterday evening everything was safe and se- cure. The Verde river came up eight and one tenth feet during Sunday night, and remained pretty nearly at that stage yesterday. At Roosevelt there was a rise of a foot about noon yesterday. It increased to three feet, where it stood for two or three hours and later began to recede.
 At the Arizona dam the river fell a little about noon, then rose q little and late yesterday afternoon was fall ing again, so it is believed this rise will not be high enough to do any damage to the canal unless there were later floods on the watershed yester day and last night. And even then it is likely that the farmers will get at least one wetting before the banks could give way.
 A telephone message from the head yesterday afternoon announced that tne flood had done no damage to the extension to speak of. The water had crept out of the rock cut, where the principal work is, though of course it l ad flooded the upper reaches of the proposed canal line. At Granite reef

HE INTERPRETATION
 OF ADAM BEDE
Hrs. Nabelle Biggart at the If. E.
 Church South Tonight.

Miss Mabelle Biggart, E. A, of New
 York City, will tonight speak in the
 lecture room of the M. F. Church,
 ScIth, on the subject of George El-
 tot. one of the most notable novelists
 and literary characters, introducing
 Miss Biggart's own condensed dram
 atization of Adam Bede," which is
 probably the authors most famous
 work. The latter will be presented with piano accompaniment by Miss Grace Hilgen and also with violin
 accompaniment. There will also be
 given at the opening a solo by Mrs. L. D. DamerOn, accompanied by Mrs.
 $. F. Cravens. The admission fee will
 be 50 cents. tickets being on sale at
 Sanichas. The entertainment will be
 given under the auspices of the Wo- mans Home Missionary society of the church.
 A synopsis of Miss Biggart's pro-
 gram will include remarks on the
 place of George Eliot in literature and her genius as compared with that of GOetn, Victor Hugo, and Emerson
 the rank of Adam Bede among the
 masterpieces of literature, followed by
 analytical treatment of the contents
 of Adam Bede." The scenes will in ] l home Mrs. Poyser's homely philoso- phy, the encounter in the wood, and
 the great trial scene.
 Miss Biggart is notable as a lectur- CT, minister, public speaker and writer
 not only in this country but in Eng land and on the continent. which she ! has toured extensively in her work She has been largely engaged in gos- pei evangelical work and has assisted many of the most notable preachers on both sides of the water in their meetings She has testimonials and personal letters from many notable literary men and women as well, and is altogether a woman of varied re- sources and many accomplishments. She was listened to with interest last Sunday morning at the NJ. l.. Church, South when sne delivered a most excellent sermon. Being one of the most widely travelled public speakers in the world, and with a per | sonal knowledge of all parts of civiliz-
 ed lands, she is better equipped than most speakers of the day. however erudite, but lacking in the wide per sOnal experiences of Miss Biggart But | though she has spent much time
 abroad, she is intensely American, and is an exponent of that somewhat new reform among the tourist public ex- pressed in the phrase See America first" Her lecture and interpretation Of Adam Bede" tonight should prove a rare treat to all of literary predi- lections.

SCHOLARS A
y CREDIT
Prof. Barnett Makes Interest
ing Report of Work for
April.

Prof. Barnett of the city school has
issued the following statement to the
patrons:
we are giving you herewith a report
OF the punctuality and excellence Of
standing of your children for the
month of April. We trust you are look
ing for this report. We trust you are
taking an honest and. commendable
pride in the good standing of your
boy or girl. We shall feel we have
accomplished much for the children,
and for the schools if we can inspire
every parent with desire to see the
names Of his children among those IF
the following lists. If they are not
here let us urge that you cooperate
with us in getting them here.
We are making much of perfect at
tendance because we believe it is one
of the first requisites of good school
work. We earnestly request that you
strive to keep your children in school
every day, letting nothing but sick
ness prevent. Our aims are identical,
but we cannot accomplish our purpose
without your sympathy. interest and
support
These words of solicitation are
especially pertinent at this season of
the year when all nature seems to in
vite children away from school and
urge to work and pleasure. We wish
to keep them until the close of the
school year, that they may go ON with
their classes. and not lose interest by
seeing those of their own age advanc-
ed, while they must remain behind"
The list follows:

JUMP,TO SAVE
THEIR LIVES .
Martin Malby and Peter Johnson Have
Marrow Escape From Losing Their
Lives in Early Morning Fire Which
DESTROYED Dinnie Bros, Barn.


Weakened out of their sleep with the
building afire and the floors beneath
them falling In, and compelled to
crawl out through second story
window to escape death, was the
rather unpleasant experience that be-
fell Martin Malby and Peter Johnson,
employees of Dinnie Bros. occupants
of large brick barn on the farm near
the state university, which was de-!
stroyed early this morning by fire.
Gil Marslow and Edward Dyer, two
railroad men. discovered the flames
about midnight and rushing to the
building notified the occupants. But
for this action there is every likeli-
hood that Malby and Johnson would
have lost their lives. They were
sleeping in the upper part of the build
ing which is two stories above and
one story below ground.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
Besides the loss which Dinnie Bros.
sustain through the destruction of the
building and its contents-the latter
consisting of about 1000 bushels of
wheat, barley and oats, and several
setst of harness-the total value being
about $1,000, Johnson and Malby had
personal losses. The former had S35
in cash. $40 watch and a trunk full
OF clothes burned, while Malby is
minus d trunk and numerous valua-
bles. All were destroyed.
Dinnie Bros. have insurance of
$3.50 to cover their loss. A number
of head of COWS and horses were re-
moved from the structure without
harm.

NAY: NOT CALL
A JURY
Very Few Jury Cases on Calendar for
June Term Of District Court Which
is to Convene on Tuesday. June -
Several Willing to Plead Guilty.

There is a distinct possibility that
on jurors will be drawn for the COM
ing term of Grand Forks county dis
trict court, which is due to convene on
the first Tuesday in June, the 5th inst.
This is for the reason that there are
at the present time only few cases
for trial by jury Most of the defend
ants in the criminal cases have eX-
pressed their willingness to enter
pleas of guilty to the crimes of which
they are charged, without the formal
ity of trial. At present there are only
four or five prisoners confined in the
county jail who will have to answer
in the district court Halmberg, who
has already confessed to robbing the
Britten pool room at McCanna, wants
to plead guilty The other prisoners
include two negroes, one charged with
malicious destruction of property and
the other with assault with danger
Gus weapon, and Cutting, the Aneta
blind pigger
The civil calendar is also slack, as
regards cases that call for jury trials.
The county will be saved no incon-
siderable money If the coming term of
court can be held without calling Jury
men. The question will be definitely
decided by Judge Fisk before the oath
inst.

STRIKEDELAYS
WORK
Walk Out Of Electricians In Employ
of Northwestern and Tri.State Tele.
phone Companies Will Cause Seri.
Gus Set Back to Extensions.

The strike Of the linemen and cleo
tricians in the employ Of the North
western and Twin City Telephone COM
panies, ordered on Thursday, has not
yet been felt at Grand Forks, accord
ing to statements by the local tele-
phone managers made today.
There is some question, too, whether
the local members of the Minneapolis
unions. who have as yet not been call
ed out, will strike IL the call is made.
Even If they do. comparatively small
number of men will be effected.
The worst effect, however, of the
present difficulty, which involves, ac-
cording to estimate, between 700 and
500 men, is the setback that will be
given construction work now proposed
and in course Of completion in North
Dakota. Both the Northwestern and
Tri-State companies had determined
upon numerous extensions for the cur
rent summer, but unless there is an
early settlement of the strike, the year
may pass without the work being
accomplished.
There Is no local union of electri-
clans and those who would be affected
