 The convention of the Independent" party last night outdid the citizens con- ventlon in point of time by four min utes. It took it IS minutes to place a complete ticket in the field. The can didates selected, all of them by accla- nation, appear at the head of this column.
 The convention was lamblike in it's demeanor and those who attended it to hear the present council excoriated and slate making denounced in scathing terms were disappointed.
 There were 50 or 60 electors in the Firemen's hall at the convention of those who want to see 'real election" which was called to order only a few minutes after eight o'clock by H. c. Bowman, Half of them participated in the convention, which went off in a a business ike manner.

manufacturer mark by which the GUS toms inspector can identify them. This especially applies to such important mining supplies as small parts of boil CTS, tubes, pipe, pipe fittings, elbows, Ts, unions, grate bars, sledges, drill steel, picks, shovels, pump plungers, buckets, valves, small car wheels, strap iron rails, bar and rod iron, and small castings. Even larger pieces, such as parts of hydraulic giants, are frequently unstamped. These supplies, kept for sale by the machinery firms of Dawson, frequently pay customs duties both to Canada and the United States before reaching the Alaska camps. Dawson is frequently sought by the American miners in the midst of the short season for the purpose of repairs to various machinery, it being the only place &C., cessible on the Yukon where machine shops exist. It may be easily be seen how burdensome on the miner is the imposing of duty on his machinery which he brings back into American territory after repairs, and on which he must pay duty because it has been improved or changed in foreign terri tory.
 The regulation in regard to boats coming down the Yukon into United states territory must Also be taken into consideration. No boat or scow, not a regular carrier, can, for example, make the journey from Dawson to Circle, ear rying over five tons of freight. This k especially hurlsnsome on settlers who

THE Yukon Valley News is by no means partisan. More especially is it not partisan from a republican point of view However, it can conscientiously congratulate the people on the action taken by the leading Rampant republi cans today. In the history of the camp there has never been political meeting in which half dozen republicans participated; and yet it has been ac- counted one of the cogs in the machine that has ground out the peoples des- tiny. Corruptionists in the dominant party have been in a position to use the community's prestige for whatever ends they chose. If the citizens will take the local affairs of the party into their own hands they will promote their self respect and deserve the consideration oi those who have the custody of their welfare and their liberty. No party can be very bad that fairly reflects the scn- timeni. oi the people, and none very gool that Is not guided by the peoples wishes.

wish to outfit at Dawson and float their goods down the Yukon. The situation, owing to the conditions, is undoubtedly a burden of extra expense on the miner, but Is unavoidable, and must be reck- oned with in any estimate of expenses attending the prosecution of placer mining in the Alaska interior. -Ffom "Methods and Costs of Gravel and Placer Mining in Alaska" by Chester Wells Burlington, oi the United states Geological SuFyc.

So far as they have been revealed to this paper, the ideals of ex-Governor Swineford and of Thomas Gale are more admirable than those of the other men who have been spoken of in connection with the delegateship from Alaska. The former stands for the political rights and the individual liberty of all men, and the latter for the principle that the bounties of nature belong to those who earn them. The sequence is similar. Ii to either, the more credit is due to Swineiord, whose mental habits are perhaps trife less circumscribed.

IT is said by men who are personally acquainted with him that Thomas Gale, the Panama miners candidate for dele gate to congress, has decided predilec- ton for socialistic ideas. If the allega
 tion is true it is not necessarily discred
 itable to Mr. Gale. Socialistic ideas, many of them, are believed to be good and wholesome by some of the wisest men in the world today. Socialism without ideas is the thing to be feared.

CUSTOMS REGULATIONS.

been caused in the past by shippers not understanding the requirements of the United States and Dominion customs departments. The following informa- tion is given for the guidance of ship pers, and the instructions herein con- tained must be strictly adhered to.
 Shipments of goods from United States ports via Skagway, destined to Eagle City and other lower Yukon river points in transit through British Colum- bia and Yukon Territory, must be accompanied by certified copies of invoices and copies of bills of lading. All of these papers are necessary for customs purposes at Skagway.
 Goods shipped from United States ports, destined to points in Alaska via Skagway and Yukon river, are bonded through Canadian territory duty free.
 Charges for preparing customs papers by the customs agent of the White Pass and Yukon route will be as follows: For preparing shippers manifest, 50 cents; ; transportation and exportation entries will be charged for on basis of actual cost to the White Pass and Yukon route
 The customs agent will notify the agent of the White Pass and Yukon route at Skagway station of the amounts to be assessed on above account, and the same will be placed against each ship ment as back charge.
 Difficulties of a peculiar nature are experienced by the placer miners of in- terior Alaska owing to the configuration of the international boundary between the Territory of Alaska and the British possessions. The town of Dawson, be- ing the largest settlement of the interior, is naturally the point where mining supplies are the most easily and quickly obtained by the placer miners of the neighboring American camps of Birch Creek and Fortymile, the Rampant dis trict, and others of the Yukon and Panama. During the season of 1904 the rapid and to certain extent justifable development of the town of Fairbanks, on the Tanang river, gave promise that this settlement would eventually become as well equipped to supply the needs of the Tanena miners as is Dawson. The American Yukon camps must, however, for considerable number of years be locally:lependent on Dawson as a source of supplies.
 Theoretically the miners are supposed to buy their mining supplies and ma chinery either at points in the United States or at towns on the Yukon in American territory. Such supplies, of course, if shipped down the Yukon, come through the Canadian territory in bond free of duty Tn praetice however

AsSASsINS' LAIR IS FOUND.
Shanty in Pennsylvania swamp Re-
yeaIs Murder SOeiety's Plots.


What is believed to be a gigantic an
archistic plot for the destruction of prom
inent men in the United States was un-
earthed at Baird, a small mining town
ten miles east of Washington, Pa. 1t is
believed that Gov. Pennypacker of Penn
sylvania and Gov. Pattison of Ohio were
condemned to death by the organization.
Evidence also was found that leads the
authorities to believe that many other
high officials were included. Coroner
Sipe stumbled upon the scene while
searching for the murderer of Michael
Cerrazola, wealthy Washington county
Italian. The crime was laid to the
BLACK Hand" Society, and in searching
for members of this organization the 9TH
er bigger one was discovered. George
Barli, an Italian, was arrested By t e po-
lice for the Cerrazola murder. In his
clothes was found a paper containing the
plans formulated in a small hut, evidently
the meeting place of some society to
which he belonged. Officers finally dis
covered this shanty at Baird in a dense
swamp. They broke it open and found
there evidence that may incriminate at
least half a hundred Italians in Wash
iEgton county. The room was lined with
pigeonholes filed with letters in which
tn, plot for the killing of numerous Off
Gals was outlined. The destruction of
Gov. Pennypacker and Gov. Pattison was
delegated to the local band, and similar
gangs in other parts of the country were
given their territories. Nearly all the let
tiers found were received from Paterson,

MARSHALL FIELDS WILL.
Document Disp0ses of Estate Reci-
nned at Over 800. OOO. 900.

Oned at Over S1OO,OOO,OOO.
Marshall Fields last will and tesla
ment, embracing two codicils and dispos
ing of an o<tate reckoned as beyond the
value of 500 100000, was filed for pro-
bate in Chicago Wednesday. The docu-
ment, which contains upward of 22,00C
words, was attested in Chicago and bears
date of Feb. %, 1904 After making spe-
cifc requests of So, 29S,000, the testator
provides that the residue of the estate
go to his grandchildren, Marshall Field
III. and Henry Field. II and 10 years
old, respectively. They are the children
of the late Marshall Flea Jr. To the
widow is left the Field resI4clce and con-
tents, worth upward of 100000, and
81 100000 in addition. In this connection
it is said that Mr.. Field made a large
marriage settlement.
The daughter, Mrs. Ethel Field Beatty
of England, is to receive the benefit of
trust fund of 100000 and life in
terest in S1O00,000 was set apart for the
widow of Marshall Field II. Gwendolyn
Field the granddaughter, now 3 years
DID, has S1,000,0O0 left in trust for her.
The Field Museum of Natural History
will get $S,000,000 and four local chart
ties are left $4,000 each. Scattering
millions are left to relatives, old en-
loyes and to a few friends.
The great magnitude of the inheritance
which falls to the grandsons of Mr.. Field
may be noted from the fact that young
Marshall Field is to receive three-ffths
and Henry Field two-ifths of the residue
of the estate and in addition the benefit
of a trust fund of $5,000000. Thus they
practically now are worth anywhere from
$50, 100000 to $50,OOO,0O0 each.
