Many of the earlier residents of the Dawson country will remember Chris Betsch, who for long time was an- chored to the ticket booth at the Klon- dike toll bridge. Along in the winter of lS99-l90O he married pretty, rosy checked, darkeyed little girl who had been serving him with lunches and who lived near the bridge The Nome stam- pede was on, and Chris bundled his bride into basket sleigh and behind crack dog team they hit the long stretch of ice for the golden beach.
 Lots of good wishes went with them; but to most of their acquaintances their subsequent careers are unknown. Now comes the Nome Weekly News, however, announcing the arrival of city, and it must be the same Chris Betsch who was formerly on the klon- dike.
 The News says he has been trying to locate quartz lodges in the Kuskokwim country for the last five years. He spent most of his time in the interior and knew nothing of the rush to the kusko- kwim until he struck the river on his way to Nome for supplies. He says there are quite number of men pros- has not yet been found to any great extent.
 One of the interesting things Mir. Betsch tells of is an earthquake he and his partner experienced in the early part of June while prospecting in the Aleutian mountains, about seventy-tive miles from the Kuskokwim. He felt the earth shake violently. The shock lasted few seconds, and was succeeded by another tremor that shook down a large quantity of loose rocks from the moun- tain sides. Cracks and Assures were formed in the mountain side.
 Mir. Betsch says in the country where he and his partner have recently been there are 900 square miles of nothing but mountains.
 They were successful in trading with the Indians for furs, and brought with them to Nome large quantity of beaver, mink, fox and .bear skins, which they value at 5000.

OUTSIDE POLITICS

The Cannon boom inaugurated by organizing the Uncle Joe Cannon Clul at Washington has not gained much headway in the eastern states.
 The Nebraska republican state con. vention tabled resolution favorinp President Roosevelt for another term However, the convention endorsed the presidents administration. Norris Brown was nominated for governor.
 Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, showed such personal strength at the recent primaries in his state that ht will be returned to the senate without opposition. However, returns indicate the defeat of the state ticket favored by Tillman in the primaries.
 Upon Bryan's arrival in New York Aug. 29 "Hail to the next president was the favorite shout. He told news paper men that while he is interested in the next presidential election, he will take no part in the campaign until the nominations have been made.
 At the Alabama state primaries there was no opposition to the reelection ot Senators Morgan and Pettus. Owing tC their extreme age, however, alternates were voted for to take their places iI the event of death before the expiration of their terms. Pettus is S5 years old and Morgan S2.
 Republican leaders in the eastern states are urging leaders in other states to see to it that the delegates sent tc the national convention be those who can not be stampeded by any one, moi even Roosevelt They say the greatest danger lies in sudden whoop, whicl might result in nominating the wrong man.
 Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, made the principal speech at grand rally 1T Portland opening the Maine republican congressional campaign. He urged the election of congressman who will sup port President Roosevelt in his attemp at purifying American business methods He said this is the sole issue of tn, campaign.
 The chairman of the New York re publican committee has announced tha Governor Higgins will be candidat, for renomination. This announcement means that there will be fight in tn, republican convention. Former Gov ernor E. E. Odell favors the nomination of Charles F.. Hughes, the man wh, prosecuted the insurance investigation
 In an interview W illiam Travers Je rome, of New York, said w. k. Hearst like Murphy, is of no importance. H' said Hearst is surrounded by irresponsi ble persons who work on his addle, brain as they did on that of Czolgoz, tn, slayer of Mckinley, and called him | Moses who broke all the Ten Command ments in one day. The only way t' settle the New York fight, Jerome said is to depose Murphy. The indication are that Tammany will support Hears for the governorship, in which case h. will get the democratic nomination.

 tarried some time in Rampant, was fined $50 and sentenced to twenty five days in jail for drunkenness soon after her arrival in Fair banks.
 The above item printed in the Yukon Valley News Aug 15, has elicited the following communication (printed with few slight correctionsl:
 TANANA, ALASKA,
 Aug. %, 1906. Mir. S. Callahan, Manager Y. V. N.: Sir: 1 see in your paper of 18th inclosed article of Miss Edna Stevens. I would like to know who the young woman is that has the same name as myself, who was in Rampant the same date as myself. If it is me whom you refer to 1 want you to rectify the mis- take that you have in your paper. 1 have not been in Fairbanks, and further more I have never been intoxicated or been fined for the same, in court, or been in jail. Waiting your next issue, l hope to see the rectification of the mis- take on your part, or 1 shall take other means in seeing to it myself.
 Yours expectantly and sincerely,
 Mss EDNA STEVENS,
 Panama, Alaska. Now, if the Yukon Valley News has offended in this matter, the publi- cation of tbe above letter Nindicates the writer of it to the fullest possible extent Not having been in Fairbanks, not having been drunk, not having been fined, in court, or in jail, she can not consistently insist that she is the Edna Stevens meant in the objectionable they were both probably christened be- fore this paper was born. If one of them summed Fairbanks and other woes, then the case is only half as bad as it might have been. This paper is truly glad that only one of them got in jail and sympathises most heartily with the one that got drunk. If only one of the Edna Stevenses stopped in Rampant and that was the good one who wrote the letter printed above, the printer man suggests that she defer final action until he can communicate more fully with her. Then perhaps she will be in a position to choose between a suit for libel and one for breach of promise.
 The Panama Citizen of Sept. 1 con tained the following:
 We understand Mir Geo, A Salisbury has heen retained by Mrs. Edna Stevens as counsel in her case with The Yukon Valley News. The article Mrs. Stevens takes exception to is as follows

SUPPORT THE RURAL ROUTES.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an article by Congressman Wyatt Aiken
in regard to the rural mail system. The
postal authorities at Washington, owing
to an apparent lack of support of the
rural free delivery system in some sec.
tions, are considering the advisability of
'curtailiug or discontinuing the service at
some points where the mail matter han
died is not deemed sufficient to justify
the system as at present. operated.
Mr.. Aiken's statement is clear and to
the point, and it seems scarcely neces-
,sary that we should add anything to what
he has said Certainly no one who is
enjoying the benefits Of the rural service
at present wishes TO be deprived of them.
availed themselves of the conveniences
of this system. These we urge to sup
port it, The cost of boxes is small, in
dinitely small, when the convenience of
the system is considered. Let no one
stand in the way of continuance of the
rural mail service by withholding his
patronage 1t too frequently happens
oGhat we fail 20 fully appreciate such
'things until, by our lack of interest or
support, we are deprived of them
Let every resident of the rural districts
wead carefully Congressman Aiken's let
ter Surely when we realize the full
meaning of the withdrawal of this sys-
item from our midst we will each do our
utmost not only to maintain it, but to
Nmprove, increase aud make it moro
beneficial.
Ii you live near a rural route and are
not availing yourself of it's convenience,
do so at once; or If you can induce some
neighbor, who has neglected The system,
TO support it, do that. BY all means let
no routes in Oconee bc discontinued.
They have done much to build up the
country and put it in close touch with the
outside world. The rural districts to-
day enjoy greater advantages in mail
service than many towns and villages of
a few years ago. 1t is but just and pro-
per that they should do 80. But there
must be show of appreciation by
liberal support of the people on the va
rrious routes.
Don't neglect the system that has done
more than any one other thing to help
,she farmer and put him in close daily
Eouch with the world at large.

FIFTEEN MILLS!
That win be the Tax Levy In 0conee for this
Year, Says Mr.. Sheldon.

House of Representatives, Columbia,
January 29.-Editors Keowee Courier:
The weather has been az warm as May
the most of the time since we came to
Columbia-olOudy most of the time, and
but very little rain; clear and cool yes
terday, and to day remiuds one of our
pure mountain climate.
We have had some hard fights In our
end of the house the past two weeks and
let one or two dangerous bills get by.
The one granting police officers the
privilege to run man three miles be-
yond the corporate limits of town in
order to catch him, will be recommitted
this morning in order to try to indefi.
nitely postpone the same. Josh Ashley
says it will never do to let this bill 90 by
that the police will have more authority
than the sheriffs or Supreme Judges on
the bench-they have to stop when tkey
get to the county and State lines.
The ten-hour bill is made special
order to come up tomorrow immedi-
ately after third reading bills.
Mr.. Morgan's bill to abolish the State
dispensary and in favor of local option,
county dispensaries or prohibition, seems
majority in our end of the house, in
other words it gives each county the
privilege of voting for what they want,
1t is the bill l expect to support, pro-
vided we can get it amended with suffi-
cient restrictions thrown around it to
enforce the law.
The bill to prohibit log carts or two
wheeled wagons from travelling the pub
lie highways, with a horn or foot on the
tongue, was killed after hard fight.
Our delegation are all in good health
and generally at their post of duty.
Mr.. Morgan's dispensary bill will come
up tonight Immediately after third read
ing bills and will continue from day to
day until disposed of.
| will say in conclusion, for the benefit
of the taxpayers of Oconee county, that
we have fixed the tax of our county at
fourteen mills. The County Commits.
sioners will add one mill, making a total
of fifteen mills. This will give the Su-
pervisor four-fifths of mill more than
he had last year, as the State tax has
been reduced one-haif mill. l think that,
with the increased assessment, will be
sufficient to run our county.
l will say, in behalf of Mr.. Hobson and
the County Commissioners, that at the
last meeting of the board that they found
that they were mistaken about the
county being short six thousand dollars
last year and have withdrawn the re.
quest for two mills to pay the past in
debtedness. Yours respectfully,
j. u. Sheldon.
