HAYWOOD AND MoYER
Reelected by Western Federation of
Miners.

Denyer.-Delegates to the annual
convention of the Western Federation
of Miners have demonstrated their be-
lief in the innocence of President
Meyer and Secretary-Treasurer Hay
wood of the charges of conspiring to
murder former Governor Steunenberg
of Idaho by re-electing them to office.
The officers are now in an Idaho jail
and are likely to be for ZONE months.
In the case of these officers an OBJ
stacle in the constitution was over
come by actually not electing success
sors. The rule is that the officers shall
be elected from the floor of the con-
vention. Another rule is that officers
shall continue to hold over until their
successors are elected Messrs. Meyer
and Haywood simply hold over. C. E.
Mahoney of the Mill and Smeltermen's S
union at Butte was elected vice-presi-
dent and is to be the real head of the
organization for the present. He sue
ceeds ]. C. Williams, who was also a
candidate.
Besides the officers named above,
the following executive board was
named:
District No. (Arizona, New Mexico
and California; W. Moor OF
McCabe, Arizona (re-elected).

ing)-J. c. Lowney of Miners union
No. l of Butte.

senger officials of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe lines

the rate will be three cents instead OF
four cents on main lines; in portions
of Wyoming and Colorado three In
stead of four on the Union Pacific; In

Brooks Saves Coal Test.

Washington.-Th item in the sun
dry civil bill making an appropriation
for the geological survey coal testing
work was stricken out on point of
order Thursday. Representative Brooks
Immediately redrafted the provision
and asked its adoption, whereupon Mr..
Dalzell moved to increase the appro-
priation suggested by Brooks to $780,
900. Dalzell's suggestion was agreed
to, and Brooks amendment was then
put back in the bill. This work of coal
testing is highly important to Colo
RADIO, where some most successful ex'
periments have been made in times
past.

GOVERNMENT AID
Asked by Delegation of San Francisco
Business Men,

Washington.-A delegation of San
Francisco business men in Washington
to enlist government aid for that
stricken city, has called on President
Roosevelt to present to him their
plans. The delegation was headed by
Senator Flint of California. Franklin
Lane and Judge Morrow, and was ac-
companied to the White House by sew
eral memberes of the California con-
gressional delegation.
The delegation went from the
White House to the capitol, where the
members discussed the subject with
senators and representatives.
The city of San Francisco has is
sued bonds for S17,Oo0,OOO. About s4,-
100000 of these bonds have been sold.
They bear three and one-half per cent.
interest.
1t is proposed by the delegation that
the secretary of the treasury accept
the remaining S13,000,00O bonds as Sc
curity for nstional bank deposits This
will relieve the situation in San Fran
cisco materially. The proposition ap-
peals strongly to both the President
and Secretary Shaw. 1t already has
been considered by the President and
secretary of the treasury and may be
accepted.
Another plan suggested by the dele
cation is that the government loan
$1O,OOO,000 to the people of San Fran
cisco on the security of clearing
house banks of the city, the loan to
extend for ten years. Assurance is
given by the delegation that the prin-
cipal and interest will be met promptly
and that the government cannot lose a
dollar by the transaction.
The money is to be used in provid-
ing suitable shelter for homeless citi-
Zens before next winter. The money,
1t is suggested would be handled by
the clearing house banks of San Fran
cisco on just such security as they or
dinarily would accept from patrons. 1t
would be necessary for Congress to au-
thorize such loan. Whether the
President will recommend to Congress
that the necessary legislation be en-
acted has not been determined yet
The President indicated that he would
take it under consideration.
The House committee on appropria-
tions will hear the California relief
committee Thursday morning regard
ing the desire for federal aid in the
restoration of San Francisco. No
form of legislation has been introduced
and until the matter takes more def
mite shape in the way of a recon-
mended proposal, none is likely to be.
Those who have canvassed the situa-
tion in the House say there will be
difficulty in securing any legislation
for relief. Opposition to action of this
kind is based on the fear of future bad
results which may follow the estab-
lishment of the precedent of extend
ing government aid other than for the
temporary relief of an afflicted and
suffering community.

GUILTY OF REBATlNG.
Four Large Packing Houses Convicted
at Kansas City.

Kansas City.-Armour & Co., Swift
& Co., Cudahy & Co. and the Nelson
Morris Packing Company were found
guilty in the United States District
Court here Tuesday of accepting con-
cessions from the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railway on export shipments
on packing house products.
Judge Mcpherson of Iowa, the pre-
siding judge, stated that sentence
would not be assessed until the case
against the Burlington railway, which
is charged with granting the conces-
sions to the packers, is concluded. The
Burlington's trial was begun Tuesday
afternoon. The law in the case just
tried provides for fine only, and not
jail sentence.
The cases were consolidated for
trial purposes. The specific case con-
sidered, which is practically identical
with the others, is that charging Cud-
ahy & Co. with accepting rate of 23
cents hundred pounds on shipment
of lard to New York for export to Ger
many when the legal tariff then on
file with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was 35 cents.

obliged to lie with my limbs higher

terrible l could not walk. l suffered
untold agonies. One limb wasted

dies very soothing, and l still keep
them in the house. am very thank
full to say that I am cured. 1 found

Yukon Valley news., 1906-12-12

fisheries may be claimed as source of perpetual federal profit. Portions of the public domain may be leased-as the fox islands now are--and the territory denied taxing privilege there. Fur mo- nopolies of great value may be granted and the territory get no recompense. The timber resources may be withheld. Commercial and carrying business may be regulated from Washington. The half-concealed and doubly oppressive customs tax will scarcely lead to the dumping of cargo overheard, as reg ulation of kindred nature did on one historic occasion.
 Since it is very common to punctuate Alaskan reference with points from the Canadian side, it is not amiss to speak of the self government extended by the dominion to Dawson. The dominion held to it's revenue producing regula- tions and the city taxed itself to death. That bit of history could be repeated on the American side, with all Alaska undergoing the experience of the Cana dian town.
 The natives furnish another difficulty in the way of Alaskan self government. While they are in a state of half free dom and come in contact with the whites everywhere, the federal govern ment might insist on keeping them singly under federal law, which would lead to endless confusion if not disaster.
 Yes, Alaska should be self governing; but it should be so with the very broad est meaning that the term implies-and there are difficulties.
Yukon Valley news., 1906-12-12

THE land frauds committed on the outside on account of which several
 men of high station were sent to prison
 were no more fragrant than those through which immense areas of min eral ground are being segregated from the public domain in Alaska. As the mineral resources of this territory be- come better known through the efforts of prospectors and the investigations of the United States Geological Survey, the opportunities for fraud be.o .ome more alluring, and the country is fast ap- preaching condition that will restrict legitimate prospecting in the placer re- gions to an insignificant industry. The association claim should be abolished

THE results of the November elections in the States have not yet been learned in Rampant. That shows how poorly we are situated with regard to mail The distance between Rampant and Fair banks does not exceed 150 miles; yet in the roundabout way traversed mail sell dom gets from one place to another in- side of month. The absence of news also emphasizes the shortcomings of the Rampant paper. The same are freely admitted. The cost of the press report is beyond the papers ability to pay A correspondent to send special bits of news is equally so. The Fairbanks pa- pers have been specially kind in re- spending to any request made oi them l; but il would te to5 nu,,sh to ask them often to give away sisir nsws. which is costly property.

Ir is by no means certain that the higher courts are less infallible in their interpretation of the mining law than are those which are nearer the people. In delivering an opinion that the prox- imity of paying ground, and surface indications favorable to the existence of gold on bedrock ought to be construed as favorable to party claiming under a very slight discovery, the United States circuit court of appeals recently laid down principle calculated to defeat the most wholesome purpose of the law requiring discovery. It is not enough, even, to know for fact that gold is be- heath ones feet to give him title to it : he ought to uncover it before it is his

YES. BUT THERE ARE DIFFICULTIES

"Should Alaska be self governing? Answer"
 That is the wording of a message re- ceiyed from the Fairbanks Northern Light last afternoon. What particular circumstance caused the inquiry can not be told, but there is likelihood that some kind of representation to congress regarding the matter is contemplated.
 The answer is "Yes." Americans anywhere on American soil should be self governing. The more remote and isolated from the populous centers, the more vital the principle becomes. Place single individual in the wilderness, out of reach of his fellows, and he at once becomes self governing; and if he is a sensible American he usually governs himself we'll. Put two there and they will confer and usually adopt the most beneficial course of action. A majority will decide what is to be done by three. And so on and so on, up to any number. Set two men down in the wilds with absolute authority delegated to one to control the actions of the other, and rebellion or perhaps homicide will follow. The more local ized government is in a new country the better. In such country there are all ways two evils to be feared when the governing power is centered at dis tance: one is woful ignorance and the other willful wrong.
 The civilization of the United States has been built with local self govern ment as the corner stone, and it is built very strong.
 So far as this little paper is concerned it has not been anxious to see self government for Alaska hastened, be- cause it has seemed impossible of achievement except through compro- misses that might rob the victory of its most precious fruits. It has hoped for a time when Alaska's case might he .,,I,,;tt.i Ia cnnyresa with a cpnaeious- ness that the dominant party would acknowledge the territory's equality with other American soil.
 As it is now the federal government, will scarcely yield up to the territory enough oi the taxing privileges to make self government self supporting. The

Hardness Bound Over

Ed. Hardness, who was tried before
Justice Buchanan last Friday on the
charge of mule stealing, was bound
over TO the District court and his
bond fixed at $500. 1t seems that
Elmer Holloway who plead guilty at
the present term of court to having
stole the mule and sold it to Mr..
Hardness. claims that Hardness
advl sed him to steal the mule and
that when Hardness paid him for the
mule with check for $40 he, Hol-
loway, cashed the check and accord
ing to an understanding with Hark
ness, returned the latter So Of the
money.
there's long been rumor on the
streets that something like the above
we're the facts and now that tn,
matter is in the courts, it is up t
Mr.. Hardness to disprove the state
ments of Holloway and receive from
the court clear bill of health, or OF
the contrary if he cannot do so Il
suffer the penalty fer such case
made and provided.
