HIS BROTHER A DIRECTOR.

The name of ex-Commissioner Featherson's
brother Edward Featherson. was printed IN
Bradstreets as being director in the company
as late as August &c 1905. The president anG
treasurer of the company is William N Shan

Featherson is leader. and former Deputy Com
missioner of Highways under Commissioners
Keating
Aayor Mcclellan was informed that In the las1
three weeks of 1905 ex- Commissioner Featherson
gave the Phoenix Company the privilege of fill
ing in behind walls in the Chelsea sec
ton and on the East River to the extert of more
than 100000 cubic yards at an estimated net
profit of about $4,000 The records of the de-
partrnent do not seem to substantiate this las
charge. Tribune reporter went over the rec
ords as shown him yesterday at the Dock De-
partment and there is record or any Tar,
contract or privilege having been given the
Phoenix Company in the last month There Is
no getting away from the fact. however. that
the Phoenix Company has been doing
pro5table business with the Dock Department in
the last two years This company and William
J. Fitzgerald. Tammany contractor. seem 10
have obtained all the work.
To understand the full significance OF the
charges laid before the Mayor It should be
borne in mind that there is a great amount OF
filling in behind sea walls when the city. as It
is doing now IN the Chelsea district builds new
bulkhead work. The city officials have learned
from experience that contractors are willing
to pay for the privilege of filling in behind tho
new walls The bids are advertised in Tia
City Record" and the one who is willing pay
the highest price for the privilege gets it Ia.-
medately the successful bidder passes the wo-i
around to builders that it can accommodate
their rock and earth excavated from cellars AMI
from foundation work Builders only too
glad to avail themselves of this privilege. as It
costs sometimes as high as a dollar yard TO
have their rock and earth carried 70 a pub;!c
dump and towed out to sea. The filing in con-
tractors charge about 80 or go cents cube
yard for allowing the filing in 10 be done i
comparison of the bids with the prices charged

makes about sc per cent profit without Incur
ring expense for plant He simply takes to.I

Don't Be Over Confident

The Fairbanks Times, an ardent ad- vocate of Gales candidacy, takes the miners in that section to task for their attitude that Gale and Waskey have a walk-over, and therefore there is not need for further exertion. The Times advice, Don't be over confident" is sound and will apply to the Rampant miner voter as we'll as those of Fair banks.
 The campaign of the opponents of the miners, ticket is going forward stead ily. The federal ring is working over time for Murane, and the Republican Campaign Committeeman, J. Wesley Young, is said to be hard at work on behalf of the Nome lawyer. No effort will be spared to defeat Gale. The miners in Rampant had better awake.

interests and explain to others the needs and requirements necessary to promote the mining industry. The miners should view this matter in the light of self-interest and vote for the man whose interests are the same as their own. and whom, in protecting himself, must necessarily protect them. The present condition of the country will not justify experimenting in the choice of our congressional delegate. A miner strives to better the mining conditions, while the lawyer strives to secure large retainer fees.

COMMISSIONER J. l.. GREEN
 CERTAINLY "IS THE LIMIT''

THE Yukon Valley News takes edi- torial exception to the fact that meas ures are being instituted to secure the removal of Commissioner J. Lindley Green. Anyone who assists in this righteous undertaking, according to our cloven-footed contemporary, is 33black mailer, common liar, shyster-up to the harmless dolt.'' This attempted de- fease of Commissioner Green by abus- ing the people of Rampant who protest against continuance of present in- iquities, will avail nothing. Commits sioner Green probably wrote the arti- cle in ques;ion-he owns a large share of that paper.
 We are informed that serious charges against the commissioner are now in process of preparation, and should Judge Wickersham again weild the white wash brush, as the commissioner has stated he will, the facts will go on to Washington. Commissioner Greens petty office does not give him the priv ilege to harass those who disagree with his methods, neither does it excuse the attack of his organ on the ''decency" of those who stand for justice. We believe that the ''decency" of these people will bear comparison with any defenders of Commissioner Green. No doubt he would have the department of justice believe that his accusers are .sbeyond the pale of responsibility.
 The commissioner will have ample opportunity to answer these charges. There seems to be no disposition to un- duly frighten this persecuted Dogberry whose talent is natural born. y He can then explain the elasticity of Ram part justice. Yes, there IS limit, " and that limit is now reached.

Miners Salvation
 Depends on Selves
Rampant, Alaska, July 30, 1906.

Rampant, Alaska, July 3O, 1906.
 EDITOR ALASKA FORUM:
 Viewing the present political contest over the congressional delegateship, from an industrial standpoint, there seems but one logical standpoint to the question. The future welfare of Alas ka depends upon the development of her mining industry. The mercantile and transportation enterprises must look to the miner for financial success in their respective ventures. The min CTS lead the way and prepares new fields for commercial investments. It is an established fact that every man endeavors to advance the interests of his own particular calling. The lawyer frames and manipulates the enactment of laws tending to create and foster lit igation. while the farmer, miner and others of the developing and producing classes strive to prevent litigation. A miner we'll knows that litigation agita- tors are curse to the mining industry why then should they vote for a man to repsesent them in legislative matters who is dependent upon retainer fees to enhance his financial condition?
 Will such a man exert himself on be- half of the miners in the enactment of a law regulating the freights and fares if pressure is brought to bear on him by the transportation companies? Will such man willingly interest himself in behalf of the miners as against the in terests of the legal profession to which he belong;? Corporations realizing big profits from the miners toll can we'll afford to pay large retainer fees in or der to keep their producing subjects in bondage. Smooth tongue and political promises, coupled with evil designs, have led many an unsuspecting man to financial ruin. If the miners cannot confde in the unanimous choice of one of their own number to represent them in congress, then do they we'll deserve the past treatment received from their oppressors, and what in store of them is legislative measures manipulated by legal tricksters and transportation fee retainers.
 An experienced mining man, person ally acquainted with conditions of the country, can best protect the miners
