BUILD DOCK AT
 GLACIER GREEK

James Bartlett is building private wharf on Glacier creek, near the town and about 200 yards up the creek from Turnagain Arm, where it will be safe from the rush of incoming tides. The wharf is 4Ox6O feet, standing back a short distance from the edge of the creek, with a landing eighteen feet wide extending into the water. At high tide there is twenty-two feet of water at the landing This is sufii- cient to float the largest inlet boats easily. At low tide the water runs out entirely. A warehouse will be built on the dock.
 The wharf is we'll protected from the tides. A low bluff ranges along the side of the Arm from the mouth of the creek in the direction toward the sea and this affords perfect break water. It is expected that the dock will be in active use as all supplies for the railroad in the region of Glacier, as we'll as for the mines up that creek, are discharged at the mouth of Glacier creek.

ALASKA-YUKON
 FAIR LAUNCHED
nr cnbla to rns pailr aateway.

Seattle, April l2-The Alaska Yukon fair project was formally launched last night at banquet of the trustees in the Hotel Washington. Ex-Mayor Ballinger was elected president of the enterprise and a committee selected to formulate a detailed plan. This com mittee is headed by I. A. Nadeau, vice president of the Chamber of Com merce and former general agent of the Northern Pacific in Seattle.
 While it is not definitely settled it was practically agreed that the fair should not be held until 1909. James s. Goldsmith said that plenty of time should be given for preparation and that the fair should not be held until after the Jamestown exposition, the New York state fair and the presiden- tial election of 1908, as all those events would detract from popular interest in the enterprise. He said Seattle would have to raise at least S5OO,OOO for the fair. Every business man present agreed to exert his utmost efforts to promote the exposition and local inter- est in it iS general
 Secretary Sheffield of the Alaska club outlined the plans upon which the Lewis S Clark exposition at Portland was organized and carried into sue cessful execution. This morning he wired the outcome of the meeting to Gov. McInncs of Yukon territory and Dr. Alfred Thompson, Yukon meEber of the Canadian parliament, who are now in Ottawa, to ask the Canadian government for an appropriation for a Yukon exhibit.

HURL DYNAMITE
 AT RIVAL CREW
ey cable to bod plIy aaseway.

Portland, Ore, April ll-Railroad construction gangs are at war on the Washington side of the Columbia river where the Hartman Columbia Valley and Hills Seattle line run close to- gether near Lakamas, Washington. Members of the Seattle road gang hurled sticks of dynamite with lighted fuses attached, into a ravine where crews of the former were working.
 Chief Engineer Wise of the Harri- man road pulled the burning fuses from the dynamite sticks before they could explode, at great risk to himself, and thereby saved the lives of his men. The bombarding party then threw other sticks of dynamite with short fuses attached into the ravine and as the fuses could not be pulled the Har- riman forces were compelled to run for their lives.

Butte Ditch.

Ihe old Butte ditch, for many years
known as the Horn ditch, which in
former years conveyed water from
jackson creek to the vicinity of Slab
town and Butte City for mining and
irrigating purposes, is again in good
running order. Mr.. Farwell, super
intendent of the Jose Gulch Mining
Company, which Is operating the
quartz mine at Butte basin, has, at
considerable expense, cleaned out the
ditch throughout it's entire length.
This work was done mainly to secure
a supply of water for running the 10
stamp mill. 1t is also of much SER
vice to the ranchers aud gardeners of
that nelghborhood, who have been
without irrigating facilities for many
years, on account of the delapidated
condition of this canal. The ditch
is owned mainly by the
stockholders of the mine. 1t is a
valuable property in itself, and one,
winch independent otsupply Ing water
tor mining, should be made to return
a good income on the capital invested
from the sale of water for irrigation
alone. The residents OF the section
benefited are elated at the reopening
of this ditch. They have keeniy felt
the loss entailed by its non usage,
and hail with satisfaction the advent
of water for raising garden and
orchard products as in past seasons
of productiveness. The owners in
tend to maintain this canal in good
running order hereafter, as business
whether the demand for
mining purposes is maintained or not.

MINING NOTES.

Fremont. This mine is running
along smoothly. The ore is low
grade, but of uniform quality. which
Is point greatly in its favor. The
yield leaves fair surplus over work
ing expenses each month. Large
quantities of concentrates are turned
out, and the management is thinking
some of the erection of chlorination
works and the treatment of the
sulphurets on the ground. The able
superintendent, Arthur Goodall. is a
careful manager, qualification
which is absolutely essential to the
success of all the producing mines
along the mother lode at present.

mot Guilty."

The much talked of case against
Jos. Visseaux, a saloon keeper of
lone, charged with selling liquor
within two miles of the Preston
School OF Industry, contrary to the
provisions of an amendment to the
codes passed at the last session of the
legislature, was tried in lone, before
Justice McCauley, and jury, last
Friday. District Attorney Vicinl
appeared for the prosecution, and A.
Caminetti for the defendant After
hearing the testimony and argument.
the jury brought in verdict of not
guilty. The testimony was inherently
weak. 1t proved that liquor had been
sold by the barkeepeI, but failed to
show that the man in charge, who
actually sold the liquor was IN the
employ of the defendant. 1t there
fore did not show that the defendant
was criminally responsible for the act
of his employee. In this state of the
evidence the jury could hardly do
otherwise than acquit. Still taking
this fact into consideration it is
undeniable that the result was in
accordance with popular feeling.
The outcome only serves to en-
phasize the fact that it is futile to
attempt to enforce a law that con-
francs the popular idea OF justice and
right. When an individuals ideas of
right come in direct conflict with
written law, even though he be
selected as a juror to try the case
according to the evidence and the
law as laid down by the COURT he is
face to face with the proposition that
he cannot keep faith with both. He
must break with one or the other.
And almost invariably in such a
dilemma a man will elect to satisfy
the dictates of his own conscience in
| preference to man made laws, which

Railroad Extension,

The project of extending the lone
aud Eastern railroad to the tim mber
belt above Volcano is not sleeping.
Parties in the interest of this pro-
posed extension secured an option
upon nearly all the timber land in
the upper country. The option runs
lor three months only, which gives
the promoters insufficient time, it is
feared, to carry the matter through.
lt Is believed, that a reasonable
extension of the option can be secured
from nearly all of the land owners
concerned. The Ledger hopes the
enterprise will be prosecuted to a
successful issue. 1t should be en-
couraged in every possible way by all
the residents of the eastern POI tion
OF the county, the future of which Is
