REPRESENTATIVE CONVEN'
 TONS

Nothing could demonstrate the tarci- cally uurepresentative nature of the party conventions that were recently held st Juneau, more than the publish ed proceedings of those conventions as they aI peared in the Juneau papers. For instance, at the so-called democrat ic convention, of the lS0 delegates ap- portioned to the various sections of Alaska, but 90 were voted. There was not one delegate from either the second or third judicial divisions. Of the towns in the first division, Skagway. Hsines, Ketchikan, Sitka and others half all told-were not represented. The Juneau Transcripts account of the committee appointments indicates how unrepresentatiye the convention really was. Here is the account:
 The chairman at once appointed as a committee on credentials: J. A. Stern berger, of Juneau; E. M. Barnes, of Juneau; c. NJ. Summers, of Juneau: w. W. Casey, of Juneau, and Frank Bach, of Douglas. As 8 committee on reSolu- tions, J. A. Helenthsl, of Juneau: L. L. Williams, of Juneau; H. Shattuck, oi Juneau; J. H. Cobb, of Juneau, and H. ". Melen, of Coppermount. As a con- mittee on permanent organization: George Rice, of Juneau; Louis Luud, of Juneau, and Don s. Rae, of Juneau. A, a committee on actual expenses: E. NJ. Barnes, of Juneau"
 Of l4 committee appointments all but two were from Juneau, and only three of the precincts of the division were represented. This condition was brought about by the fact that Alaska democrats everywhere recognize the present as DO time for party politics.
 The republican convention was little better. There were not 70 persons present at it, and those who were there had been elected by poorly attended caucuses-usually by fewer persons than there were delegates 10 be chosen. There were but two persons from the second, and not one from the third ju- dicial division present.
 Neither conventions is binding.

GALE THE REPRESENTATIVE
 CANDIDATE

Even should the voters of Alaska re- cognize the claims of party upon them when they go to the polls to cast their votes there is none but that must admit that Thomas Gale has as great claim for support as a party man as has either of the Juneau-made candidates for the long term.
 Compare MT. Gales claim, for in- stance, on republicans with that of MT. Mursne, of Nome. The latter was nominated by the Juneau convention because the man whom the republicans of Southeastern Alaska to the number of about POO thought they were voting st the primaries went back on them at the last minute, and because he was the choice of a majority of about 200 repub- licans who voted at a Nome primary wherein a minority of the republicans of that town participated. On the other hand MT. Gale was nominated at a rep resentation convention at Fairbanks wherein were many republicans and he was afterward endorsed by the repub- lican organization of the third division,
 The democratic situstionis even more favorable to MT. Gale. He has the en- dorsement of the democrats of the second and third judicial divisions officially given. On the other hand Judge Mellsn was nominated at con- yention wherein only half of the pre- cincts of Southeastern Alaska were rep resented, and those representatives, 90 in number, represented primaries so scsntily attended that there were prob ably less than 50 votes cast at them.
The daily Alaskan., 1906-08-02

Ia the beginning the Daily Alaskan said that the movement for party con- ventious was for the purpose Of serving Juneau ends, and not for the purpose of defending party principles. How true that was may be determined from the fact that Juneau republicans are lining up for Judge Mellen, the so- called democratic nominee for the long term, and, it is said, the Juneau dem ocrats are kniing Gov. Swineford and preparing to support Judge Murane the so-called republican nominee for the short term.

Seattle Saloon Will Remain

The rumors circulated to the effect that the Seattle Saloon is to go out of business and that Herman Grimm, its proprietor, is to leave town are both false. The Seattle Saloon and its pro prieJor will remain iu Skagway and continue to handle the famous Bohe- milan beer of the Seattle Brewing and Mating Company. u
The daily Alaskan., 1906-08-02

There are more republican sigma ture to the petition asking Gov. Swine ford to become a non-partisau candidate for delegate to congress than there were men at the primaries which selected Murane delegates to the republican convention.

the island in its own domain, if that
shah be deemed advisable. or to main
tain the republic in its Independent
form in case the Cuban people are
equal 20 their national obligations.
The Plat amendment recognized
and placed upon this country the duty
of standing as vouchers to the other
powers of the world for the new
fledged Cuban nation.
In exercising that obligation in obe-
dience to an urgent crisis, this gov
ernment has given the Cuban people
supporters of the established order
and insurrectionaries alike-the op-
portunity to settle the troubles that
imperil the lives of aliens and disturb
the commerce of other nations.
If there is not in Cuba enough love
of independence in existence to cause
a cessation of civil strife in order to
preserve the nations integrity there
certainly would be no oppression in
withdrawing boon which is not val
ued.

THE INSURANCE TRUST.

For the thrifty wage-earner life in
surance is a necessity, gays an ex-
change. To get II he has no recourse
but 10 patronize the Prudential, the
Metropolitan, the John Hancock, or
scme other of the private companies
that now monopolize the business. To
them he must pay twice the premium
that the same companies charge the
well-to-do. He must pay enough to
give the equivalent of 220 per cent
dividends 10 the owners of one compa-
ny. and 27 per cent to another.
He must pay $780, 900 salary to one
president, and $4,000 salary to an
other, with $4,000 and $4,000 per-
quisites to various sons and sons-in-
law. Wage-earners must pay, and
have paid. in the last 80 years, the
money that has increased by $4,000
per cent the original investment by the
owners Of one company.
They must carry on their backs an
army Of 10000 or 10000 agents. And
in return, out Of eight wage-earners
who insure, only one ever gets any re-
turn.
The only escape from the trust is
through the fraternal insurance So
cieties.

n HUGE PRIVATE ESTATE.

By the recent acquisition of tract
OF 10000 acres Santa Gertrudes
ranch. in southwest Texas, already
reputed to be the largest estate in
the world owned by private indivld-
ual, was increased to the immense pro-
portions of 1000 square miles, or L.
100000 acres.
As an aid to the comprehension of
these dimensions, some comparisons
may be found useful The area of
Rhode Island, exclusive of the waters
of Narragansett bay, comprises 67S,-
92O acres, or just a trifle more than
one-half the area of Santa Gertrudes
ranch. The area of Delaware, exclus-
i've of water, is 1850 acres, or
25,6O0 acres smaller than Santa Ger
trudes. Texas constitutes one-elev-
enth of the area of the United States
yet If the Lone Star state were to be
cut up into ranches the size of Santa
Gertrudes there would only be land
enough to make 132.
Santa Gertrudes ranch was found
eded i'm 1853 by Captain Richard King.
former Mississippi river pilot, who,
with his friend, Captain Miflin Ken
nedy, had charge of the transport
service on the Rio Grande which sup
piled General Taylor's army during
the Mexican war.
Captain Kings ambition was to pos
sess the largest and best conducted
ranch in Texas: but he died 30 years
ago, after accommodating 500, 900 acres.
The property was left to mis- widow
Mrs. H. NJ. King, who turned the en-
tire management over to her son-in-
law, r. J, Kleberg, lawyer, who was
born and brought up within $50 miles
of the ranch. Under Mr.. Kleberg'
management the acreage has been in
creased more than so per cent.A-C. F,

BURIES ITS OWN DEAD.

The Cimarron pronounced sim
merown) river which flows through
southern Kansas and Oklahoma. is a
peculiarly treacherous stream, as the
recent accident at a Rock Island
crossing shows.
In 1873, at a point very near the
late accident, a man by the name OF
Brown pulled up to. the south bank
of the stream with the intention OF
crossing to the north bank to make
camp for the night He had two
wagons loaded with bones. and six
horses. He uncoupled the trail wagon
and started across with the other
There was not over a foot of water in
the river at that time, and he pulled
into the stream with no fear of the
result.
But when he got about half way
over the wagon wheels sank down
nearly to the hubs in the quicksand
and do what he could he could move
no further. He labored until night
overlook him, and then went into
camp.
During the night the waters rose
about two feet, as he found by the
marks in the morning. and the wagon
and its load sank in the sands out OF
sight, and he could not even find a
trace of the vehicle or its load.
THE Cimarron buries its own
dead" has been trite saying in that
country ever since its treacherous
sands were discovered by teamsters
and travelers.-The Dalles Optimist.

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl Of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache, ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing, sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
OF the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn livelihood or per.
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SO
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female Or
ganism.

suffering; she writes:

PROFIT IN APPLES.

One saving feature about the apple
deal is the fact that there are so many
by-prcducts of this fruit, says the Chi
cago Packer II is not only possible
to find a sale nearly always for good
fruit as it comes from the orchard
ready for being consumed. but it has
now reached the point where an enor-
NOUS quantity of good apples is re-
quired every year for other purposes.
Ir some sections large quantities of
apples arc cut up and dried, some
from the warmth of the sun and
others dried out by specially equipped
machinery. The evaporators now do
the larger business in this branch and
in many cases the dried or evaporated
apple hes increased very much in
value by slicing and taking most of
the water out of the fruit when 1t is
stored for future use.
This year the worlds markets ap-
pear to be practically bare of evap-
GRATED and dried apples from the past
season owing to the short supply of
apples in 1905. 1t goes without say
ing that there will be ample fruit to
take care of the demand for evapor-
ateG and dried apples this season.
Reports from every direction show
that the Jelly makers, the cider and
vinegar people and many distillers are
taking time by the forclock to re-
plenish their stock. Most of these
plants are being run overtime to their
full capacity.
From the several by-products We
can use from the apple it has been
urged that as many as possible of the
cores, skins, pumice, bad apples, etc,
be used for silage and the dry skins
be fed to cattle and other stock. 1t
is believed that If as much as posi-
ble Of the inferior fruit be used in
this way the markets will be generally
better for good sound fruit.
1t will no doubt require an enor-
nous amount of apples to supply fully
the actual needs of the country with
the various by-products from the ap-
pie. This is not one OF the least fac
tors to consider in sizing up the prob
able average price for apples through
out the current season.
