NEW CONTRACTS
 TO CARRY MAIL
Increase in Weight Allowed on the Route Between Valdez and
 Fairbanks.

Fairbanks, Jan. S.-( From the News). The contract for carrying the winter mail between Valdez and Fairbanks for the next four years has been awarded to the N Geo. Local Manager Richmond has been apprised of the fact by wire.
 This is the first information received in Fairbanks about the awards on any of the bids sent the department for car rying mails in Alaska for the next four years, save the notice for the Coldfoot- Bettles route, in which bids were re- advertised.
 Practically the same schedule will be maintained under the contract as awarded to the N. c. Go. as governs the handling of mail at the present time on the Valdez-Fairbanks route. The inn portant difference is the fact that 800 pounds will be the limit, instead of 400 pounds as at present. Eight round trips must be mado every month except October, in the fall, when the service begins, and May, in the spring, when the winter service ends. Four round trips must be made those two months. For all other months a twice-a-week service is provided for, with ten-days' schedule. The chamber of commerce has corresponded with the department with view of getting it to consider the bids for five-days' schedule, upon the theory that inside of the next four years the trails might be so greatly improved as to make a shorter schedule feasible, but it would seem that the department did not believe shorter schedule wise at this time.
 James Fish, of Valdez, has the coin tract for carrying the mail at present time between here and Valdez, as well as between here and Fort Gibbon, but he sub-let contracts for carrying the mail over the Fairbanks division, and this is held by the Clough-Kinghorn company.

CONVENTION
 IS CRITICISED
Former Resident of Rampant De. pIores a Nonresident Delegate
 Going to Washington.

Following is an extract from letter received by w. B. Ballou from A. J. Ballet, formerly resident of Rampant but now of Seattle:
 'I failed to tell you what I think of the men who came out from Alaska to meet here for the purpose of selecting delegate to Washington to do some nec- essary lobbying there for Alaska. One of the propositions was to do all that possibly could be done to get territorial form of government for Alaska. That l believe is one of the wisest moves. But those very delegates got into squabble here as to whom to send to Washington, became divided into factions and got to quarreling, so that to do one another up they elected Seattle man for the place. My criticism is this If Alaska has no man of her own to be able to represent her at Washington, then she has no one general, secretary of state and no one who is capable of being her judges That, it seems to me, was most unwise thing for those delegates to do. They would have been in better standing had they sent or or UT oi o"i friend CD well-known char acters of Rampant and elsewhere are named than to have sent any man from Seattle, I care not how strong he be or how well known. It takes an Alaskan who can knowingly talk Alaska to do good work for Alaska. It was just as foolish for the Alaskans to send MT. Humphrey (Omar J. Humphrey, not Congressman Humphrey, who is res ident of Seattle, to represent Alaska, as it would be for Seattle to send San Francisco man to represent Seattle at the national capital. It made me sick to see how they jobbed one another for the mere love of winning personal fights, while all sight was lost of the true and real issue in hand. l was very sorry that had no voice in the matter. l be- lieve that it would have been better for Alaska had no one been sent to Wash ington than to have sent the man whom they did send. As proof of his residence here, need only to cite the fact that about two months ago Omar J. Hum- phrey secured q divorce from his wife in our courts, and he must he a resident for year at least before he is entitled to file his papers. But so it goes"

Some Of the Colorado papers
whose editors are in sympathy
with the miners union are severe.
ly criticising the act of arrestina
the federation officers and quietly
putting them into pullman car
and taking them to Idaho with
out giving them a chance to see
their families or to employ conn
sci before they reached their desti-
nation. This IL spoken Of as a
high handed outrage, perpetrated
by men so low that they would do
anything at their lnastcr's bidding,
meaning the mine owners associa.
tion. The unions are passing
resolutions carrying about the
same amount of venom and are
appropriating large sums Of money
for the defense of the officials.
When Steunenberg was blown
to eternity no resolutions were
passed and no money appropriated
TO run down the assassin. That
was another matter.
When the Independence depot
was blown up, the same people
said it was the mine owners
association blowing up union
men SO they might accuse TIE
union Of lawlessness, but they
neglected to furnish the proof.
When Denver official Just
back from Boise was asked for a
photograph Of Harry Orchard he
furnished the picture Of an IN.
known tramp for publication, and
il WAS Immediately identified as a
man who had been employed as a
detective by the mine owners
association. Then the real Orch
ard picture was printed which did
not resemble the tramp's at all and
these wiseacres were speechless.
In the course Of careful sitting
We shall see what we shall see.

TrainIoad From Idaho.

| Louis Bitton and w. G. Hunt.
er, members Of the Lindsay, Bit.
ton Livestock company with
headquarters at Dlackfoot and Ida
ho Falls, Ida, arrived ut the yards
late Yesterday afternoon with 10
carloads of steers which hal been
fed on hay and pulp. The firm
is one of the best known in that
country. Cattle feeding at the
sugar beet mills at both these
places is carried on quite exten-
sively, as they have tn, contract
to nse the product of the mills. In
addition to the pulp that is fed the
cattle, hay is usei. The firm has
made several shipments Of steers
this winter, and still has back
1900 head. Besides the large
number Of cattle, a great many
sheep are handled by the firm on
the ranges at different points III
that part Of the state.
s'We are now making arrange
ments, ! said Mr., Bitton, ''to take
the surplus grain from several
large Touring mills in tnat vicinity
which we will feed to cattle. The
great Increase IN the production of
grain in that country has brought
ont much Of wheat that is unfit for
grinding purposes, and it is this
kind that we will use for feed.
The greatest drawback that we
laye encountered this winter in
'eeding is the heavy SHOWS, and
more cold weather than we have
lad for 10 years. This condition
las had a tendency to make hay
carce, and we are now compelled
9 pay more for it than usual. -

that county cast, thus making tht
members Of the legislature close
after all to the whole people o
that county than the state conyep
tlon, It it is really closeness to tn.
people that Mr.. Mcconnell ano
Mr.. Borah want.
! And il it is said that the mem
bers of the Legislature selected
from Latah county are, after all,
only representative Of the republi.
can voters OF that county, then
these members Of The Legislature
ARE representing those republicans
IN greater proportion than do the
delegates to the state convention,
for rs a matter of fact they will
cast some portion Of the represen-
tatlon that the minority party
stands for -but loses from the very
fact Of It's minority.
Thus, if the republicans have SO
members Of the Legislature aud
Z a.
constituted a majority, aud Of
these 36 Latah county had four,
then that county.would have one
ninth of the vote fot a senator,
while. II the state convention con
tanned $40 votes, about the usual
number, and Latah county sent II
delegates, that county would be
represented by only one-twentieth
Of a vote. Those counties not
electing republican members Of
the Legislature being cut off from
real representation any way, by |
either method Of electing sena-
tor.
Now, which would Latah prefer,
% have a ninth of a vote or a TWEEN
ieth, and which would come near
'r to the people who really
lame the senator after allg
70 be sure, a direct and popular
'ote would change all this reason
ng, and therein, is where the ad-
coates of convention nomination
impose upon those who favor
'opular election Of senators.
The convention plan is only a
rick to prevent the very thing
hat its advocates so strenonsly
retend to want--the nearest pos
ible approach to a popular elec-
ion of senator. lt
