there is little except pride in the
newly acquired franchise to bring
out the vote. For several reasons the
vote is not expected to be large. The
chief reason is that one-fourth of all
the voters are men busy with mining
operations in camps more or less re-
mote from the voting places. Further
more, the mining men in the placer
regions are buster just now than at
any other season of the year, and It
is likely that many of them may find
themselves too busy to go long dis
lance to vote. Nevertheless, this first
general election is attracting no lit
tie attention and the result is await.

The republican candidate for con-
gress is G. D. Murane. The demo-
Gratis are poorly organized and the
election of Murane would be assured
II 1t were not for the several -inde-
pendent candidates in the field. The
most prominent of these Independents
Is A. P. Swineford, former governor
OF the territory. Swinsford has lived
IN Alaska many years and fulfils adj
mirably the popular demand that the
hrst delegate In congress shall be
genuine Alaskan" He is radical in
thought and speech almost to the
point of intemperance, but his sterl-
Ing honesty and sincere devotion to
what he believes is best for Alaska
are not questioned. He is asking for
election only for the short term, that
is, for the session of the Fifty-ninth
congress, ending next March. If his
adherents take him at his word and
vote for him for the short term only.
his candidacy will not operate against
the success of candidates for the long
term, one of whom is also to be elect
ed today.
Another prominent and picturesque
candidate for delegate is Thomas
Gale, miner of Fairbanks. He has
entered into combination with
Frank H. Waskey of Nome, also a
miner, and they stand on the same
platform. They have the support of
majority of the miners, the long
shoremen and the labor unions. Gale
is out for the long term and Waskey
for the short term.
The outcome of the election is all
guesswork. There is no gauge which
can safely be applied to the situa-
ton, for there has never been gener-
al election in the territory, and no.
body knows exactly what the majority
opinion is on any one of three or four
issues which have figured prominent

Associated Press to The Evening Times,
Washington, D. c., Aug. 14.-Far-ofi
Alaska is enjoying its first election
today. The territory is now entitled
to two delegations in congress, and
the first men to come to Washington
In that capacity are to be selected to-
day at the polls.
Recent advices from Juneau and
from other points in the territory say
the campaign has been most unique.
1t has been a short contest, as the
nominating conventions were not held
until early last month. Owing to the
great area of the territory and the
lack of rapid transportation the can
didates have not been able to appear
on the stump in more than half a
dozen of the larger towns. There is
no regular political organization, par

Such desperate fight could not

A RED RIVER TALE OF THE SIXTIES BY AN OLD TIMER
In the early sixties. travel between

In the early sixties. travel between
the American frontier town of st. Paul
and the Red River settlement at Fort
Garry was seldom attempted by small
parties, owing to the hostile nature
of the Indians who occupied the in
tervening country. Most Of the sup
plies Tor the settlement came from or
BY st. Paul, and the freighters, as they
were called. used to start from Fort
Garry at states, in as large parties as
could be mustered.
The motive power was oxen. They
were harnessed singly to wooden
cart and each man had two or more of
these carts under his charge. Some
times these brigades of carts num-
bered two or three hundred. The party
In charge was made up Of Scotch and
French half-breeds, mounted on In
dian ponies. One man was named
captain OF the outfit, and for that
trip his word was law. Besides the
captain, four ieutenants were chosen,
two by the captain and two by the
freighters.
During August of 1863, while the
brigade was In st. Paul and almost
ready to start north, there arrived a
gentleman with one body servant and
very considerable baggage. As the
hour was late, he went directly to the
best hotel in the town, and after sup
per, procured guide to conduct him
to what the people called the Red
River Camps"
The late Senator Mckay was on that
trip captain of the freighters, and it
was to him the gentleman asked to be
taken. Mr. Mckay asked him into his
tent, and then inquired in what way
he could serve him.
My name is Bruce" the gentleman
answered. "but l have a letter here"
drawing one from his pocket, (Which
will explain everything"
Mr.. Mckay read the letter through,
then addressed Mr.. Bruce:
"Mr. Coville tells me, Mr.. Bruce,
that 1t Is your wish to cross the plains
to Red River from here. and, in the
autumn to accompany the buffalo
hunters on their usual expedition for
meat, and asks me to further your
wishes and give any assistance 1 can.
what have you mapped out to do?"
The first thing, presume, is to
procure horses and men and get over
to Fort Carry" said Mr. Brace.
"A couple of horses you will, of
course, require for yourself and serv-
ant to accompany the brigade, but
your baggage can be loaded on the
fretghter CARTS"
Accompany the brigade! Heavens,
that would never suit mel" exclaimed
Mr.. Bruce in alarm. II have not the
patience to follow a lot of oxen day
after day. Cannot you think of some
other and quicker way?"
Well" said Mr.. Mckay, you might
organize a small mounted party and
push on ahead. but it is risky work.
The Indians have spies on every knoll
and place of vantage, and large parties
OF Sioux are ever lowering about the
trail ready to swoop down on any
party they think they can overcome"
However, Mr.. Bruce, insisted on 60
Ing ahead, SO Mr.. Mckay made the best
arrangements he could for his COM
fort. Having been assured that money
was no object, he procured the best
horses and four of the most reliable
men to be had.
AS guide and chief director of the
party he assigned them Robert Monk

the settlement as trailer. buffalo hunt
er and Indian fighter. The other men
of the party were selected for their
general fitness for SUCH trip. Their
names were Louis Portelance, Charlie
Prince and Soto, swampy Cree In
dian.
Besides their arms and ammunition,
each man carried, done up in a square
of canvass, four days provisions and
a blanket tightly rolled.
Bruce and his party had proceeded
couple of days on their journey, and
had left the brigade quite q distance
behind, when, about o'clock on the
third afternoon Monkman rode up to
Mr.. Bruce and said: II have, every
now and then, caught glimpse of an
Indian on some Of the distant knobs.
He Is scout of some party that is
watching our movements. Though 1t
10 rather early to go into camp,
think our safest plan will be to go
no further today. While we are. fixing
up things and the horses are feeding
for the night. Charlie and Soto can
reconnoitre. Judging from the way
this spy Is logging our movements,
Indians are in considerable numbers
to the back of the hills on our right,
and we may expect an attack"
They camped on knoll sbme 40 or
5O feet above the surrounding prairie
AN ideal spot to witstand an Indian
attack. Water, however, was want
Ing, the only water in the vicinity be-
Ing a creek about 300 feet from the
base of the hill.
The first thing Monkman did was to
have hollows excavated in the ground,
into which he pressed shee of can
vas to make waterproof Innings for
his improvised tanks. With the two
horse buckets, Mr.. Bruce and his men
filled these tanks, which water was to
be Kept In reserve in case they were
hemmed in by the Sioux.
Pausing for moment in his labor
or telling trees around the brow of
the hill, Monkman said to Mr.. Bruce:
Excuse me, sir, for ordering you to
such work, but we have all to work
ior the common cause in a case like
this" -'Ne
Just as the sun was casting its last
golden rays on the hills to the east
ward, the party on the knoll saw two
horsemen coming at swinging gallon.
Monkman kept his eye on these riders
for few moments and then said:
All, there they come! 1t is as
thought. the Indians are in force.
They are pursuing us. There is no
hurry to examine our arms and put on
our ammunition belts; they won't ride
right in on us, but when they come
within certain distance they will
ride round our position a couple of
times to see the lay of the land: then,
and only then they may try a rush"
Monkman now gave his orders clear
and cool. Two men were to fell trees
and brush across the entrance, the
others to restrengthen. the circle.
Afterwards each was told to look care
fully to his weapons.
Have your spare ammunition close
at hand" said Monkman, because If
we hope to stand them off success
fully We must pour perfect shower
of lead at them each time they charge.
But above all waste no cartridges,
keep cool, aim true and let each shot
stop an Indian"

PORTLAND COUNCILMAN IN CITY

Frank S. Bennett, a member of the
Portland city council and a prominent
attorney of Portland, arrived in the
city this morning on a short visit
to his cousins Mr.. and Mrs. B. E.
LaDue This is Mr. Benefits first
trip to Walla Walla, although he has
lived in Portland nearly all his life
Mr.. Bennett is greatly interested in
street paving and spent several hours
today inspecting the pavement laid in
Walla Walla and comforting with MEM
bers of the street committee regarding
street improvements.
1--WE have had about the same con-
troversy over paving that Walla Walla
has had in the past" Mr.. Bennett
said this morning. Matters have so
adjusted themselves, however, that all
paving companies are given the priv
ilege of bidding on street work now.
Il am surprised to find Walla Walla
such a busting little city. The beau
tiful wide streets are greatly in con-
trast to Portland's narrow streets and
form one of the attractive features OF
your city. With all the natural re-
sources that surround Walla Walla,
the aim of your civic organizations to
increase the population to $4,000
should not be much of an effort, es-
pecially if the projected interurban
and railway lines materialize.

OIL FUEL FOR UNCLE SANS SHIPS
Naval Department Is Seeking New

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 16.-The
naval engineers who are interested in
finding some substitute for coal on

of satisfactory results from the use of
oil Arrangements have been made

apparatus for burning oil instead OF

embarrassment for larger ships which

obtain oil so easily as they now pur-
chase coal. The present saving result
