Durham superior court convened in
this city Monday and there are al
ready on the docket n hundred and
seventy four cases to claim the atten-
ton of the grand jury and other court
officials.
About so of the cases for trial are
against persons who are charged with
selling whiskey and beer without Ii
cense, and if all Of the defendants are
convicted and sentenced to the roads
there will not be much need of the
county having to hire extra labor in
order to get the county roads in good

MINERS WON ALASKA ELECTION
Rebuke to National Government fol
Neglect of Interests.

Alaska has elected two miners to
! seats in the house of representatives
as her territorial delegates. They de-
feated the republican and democratic
nominees in the elections last week by
overwhelming maiorities, and their
election is looked on as Alaska's pro-
test against broken promises by the
national government and neglect of
her interests and opposition TO veal
thy corporations.
The new delegates are Thomas Cole,
elected by 1881 plurality, for the long
term, and Frank Waskey, who recei-
we'd 2, 987 majority, for the short term.
Cole is a native of Wisconsin,, is
known as Honest Tom in Fairbanks.
home town, and has been a number
since 1897.
Frank Waskey was told Of his nOm-
nation in the shaft of one of his
mines white at work. He is thirty
three years old, is a Minnesotan and
his home is at Nome. He is ener-
getic and knows the needs Of Alaska.
He is known as a trail blazer there
which interpreted means a man who
accOmplishes what he sets out to do.
An instance Of the neglect Of Alas
ka's interests is the matter OF history
that last year the AIaskans had to take
up a collection among themselves to
hire officials in the post Office service
on ccoun of the insufficient appro-
priation granted them by the govern
ment for this purpose. And they had
to do the same thing again this year,
although the mater had been brought
to the attention of the government
officials, without avail. Port scandals
in which federal officials have been
involved in Alaska also had a part in
determining the election.-Washing-
ton Star.
