the amount usually allowed; for the

CONSIDERABLE information on the
matter of sewering the town was inn
parted at the meeting on Wednesday
evening as will be seen by the report
in another column. While there was,
of course, a variety of opinions ex-
pressed, concensus Of opinion was that
the town should be severed, that the
report as presented by the commits
SionerS was comprehensive and the
plan proposed the most practical for
our needs. The main objection raised
was in regard to the location of the
filtration beds, and if, as stated, by the
expenditure of some twenty to thirty
thousand dollars the beds could be To-
Gated in place where no one would
be Inconvenience or damaged it GER
tainly should be done. The addition
al cost would be mere bagatelle COM
pared with the value of property that
might be affected by the proposed To-
cation. However, as has been said
before, the commissioners are public
spirited prudent citizens, who will
live in town after the sewer is COM
pleted, and it is safe to conclude that
they will do all in their power to make
the system as beneficial and as little
Objectionable as possible.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
sg PAYABLE IN ADVANCE -

WE sometimes hear of platonic
friendship" between the opposite
sexes, but Secretary-of-State Samuel
M. Dickinson has given to the world
sublime instance Of it, AS a prelim-
mary to his suit for damages against
Mayor Pagan, of Jersey City, he Sc
cured the deposition of Joseph Joel
Cory, of New York, formerly Of Tren-
ton, a man of seventy-seven years of
age, with a wife Of tifty-eight. Cory
testified that Mr. Dickinson had a
room in his house which he occupied
frequently, and also took Mrs. Cory to
Europe, Canada, Yellowstone Park,
not to speak of frequent trips to At
lantic City, and other nearby places
with dinners at hotel, etc. Mr.. Cory
says that they went together unless
they deceived him, and that Col.
Dickinson always paid the bill like a
gentleman. AS to the household ex-
penses he did not seem clear in his
mind, but thought he bore them HIM
self. AS he was Mr.. Dickinson's wit
ness, it is to be presumed he set forth
matters as they exist The question
arises Governor Stokes appointed
Mr.. Dickinson after full explanation
of the circumstances attending the
charges of Mayor Pagan; did he know
the situation as set forth by Cory's
deposition.

CONDEMNED BEFORE TRIAL.

Under the above caption the Woman's National Daily remarks that while President Roosevelt has said and done many things during his occupancy of the White House worthy of commendation as we'll as of just criticism. it is doubtful if any utter ance of his has been more un fortun- ate. to use no harsher term, than his allusion to Mover and Haywood, the imprisoned men now awaiting trial in Idaho. This utterance was in effect, that such men as Hartman and his associates are ''more undesir- able citizens than Eugene Debs, Mover or Haywood. - The use of these names in this connection was, to say the least of it, entirely uneall- ed for from any person, and especially from man charged with the execution of the laws of the country. It should be borne in mind that neither Mover nor Haywood has had a trial on the accusation that has been made against them, and yet we have the President convicting them without trial. He clearly pronounces them guilty of being undesirable citizens. and that undesirableness can only be based on the charges under which they are resting. In short, the declaration over the Presi- dents signature says in effect that these two men are guilty of crime for which they should be punished with death. How in the world can President Roosevelt know that either or both of these men are guilty-are undesirable citizens?' The courts have not declared them to be such.
 It looks very much as though the President had gone a long distance out of his way to condemn these men, who are pleading for, and for whom a great multitude of people are ask ing, square deal. To declare them undesirable citizens is certainly far from giving them a square deal, especially as it is not impossible that the President may be called upon officially to pass upon their case. Should either or both of these men be convicted, and the cases be carried through the regular legal channels clear up to the President for execu- tive interference, how can the man who has already made public declara- tion that the men are guilty consider the matter with the dispassionate gravity it demands, or pass unbiased judgment?

There is inside history to the fight for control of the republican terri torial committee. At the last con- vention held in Juneau for the nomi- nation of delegate the question of selection of a new territorial con- ittee was taken mp and one created. At that time John c. Held, national committeeman for Alaska, held that the convention had no authority to re- move the old committee created by the last territorial convention. This as argued on the ground that 1t was created for four years and that the delegate nominating convention was organized without representation from the Second or Third judicial division. Now we understand that the matter was referred to the national republican committee for settlement and they hold that the last committee named is without authority. This gives the old com mittee authority to call the next republican territorial convention. Juneau Dispatch.

The attacks made upon peaceable citizens and the threats whispered about or openly uttered have caused a feeling of uneasiness that has naturally resulted in an appeal to U. s. Mar shal Shoup for protection for the people of Douglas. In response to this appeal, most urgently presented Deputy Marshal W. D. Grant and a squad of soldiers camped at Natator- ium Hall last night. This paper has no desire to interfere with the men former employees of the Treadwell- who throng the streets. We have no power to settle their troubles, but let us have peace.

r AFTER WILDCATS.

It is said that mining pr omotors of unsavory methods will have hard sledding Tn Idaho from now on, the Legislature having enacted law, fathered by the American Mining Congress, making deception in the publication of the value of claims and the exhibition of spurious ore samples criminal offense, punish able by imprisonment and fine, the range being not more than $10. 000 and not more than ten years penal servitude. In this the Leg islature reflects popular condemnation of methods that have been practiced in the Eastern ana New England States by persons representing themselves to be operating claims in the famous Occur d'Alene and other districts in the State of'Idaho. Judge J. H. Richards, of Boise, president of the American Mining Congress, said in speaking of the action of the Legis- lature:
 "The new law is not intended to prevent legitimate speculation, but to prevent deception. Every one has an interest in mining, whether he is an owner or not, and mining presents the greatest field for legitimate speculation of any industry and il properly regulated such speculation is all right. There are, however. thousands of shares of stock ir fictitious mines sold in the East tc persons ignorant of conditions. who are thus duped and swindled out oi their earnings. It is to protect these that the Mining Congress pushed this legislation. This bill will be sub- mitted to the Legislatures of prac. tically every mining State in the Union and in this manner it is hoped to class the wild .catter with the three-card monte man or thimb rigger.n n Such a law, if enacted by the legislatures of all the mining tsates might have deterring effect to some extent, but exactly how il can be made operative against the swindlers of the east, where they de most abound, is not clear They are wont to work their nefarious schemes not in the states where the property. or reputed property, upon which they are based is located, but in states or localities where the law in question can not reach them As for instance. such law intended to reach the mum, erous swindles in the east based on alleged Alaska holdings, would be 1 of little use, for the reason, if DC other, that the swindlers give Alaska wide berth. However, it is to be regretted that there cannot, by some means. be meted out to them the ful measure of punishment justly their due. But, it seems, the east must be left to take care of her own swindlers though practicising. their arts at the expense of Alaska.

A prominent mail order store re- gently discontinued its g grocery de- partment "because it's maintenance has been made impractical by the pure food laws just passed" An ex- change makes the following comment That is pretty confession isn't it? And all this time Sears, Roebuck X Co. have been killing out local mer- chants only because they were able by means of their rotten, cheap. adul- terated stuff to undersell him in the local market. Not only the local merchant has been the loser; the mail order house patron has been the worst buncoed in every deal. The mail order houses have made practice of selling impure foods. They are all alike with all their articles. Grocery adulteration is not the only thing, there is also clothing adulteration. furniture adulteration, implement That is how they live"

Mrs. Howard Gould two yeas ago told one Abner J. Haydel, an archi- tect who had been employed to draw plans for the Gould castle on Long Islan, d that he was hail Columbia of an architect, and had him expelled from her rooms at the Waldorf hotel to which he had gone to exhibit his plans. Now, her husband is called on to pay judgment of S208, ,59, rendered against him by the N. Y. court of appeals in favor of Haydel.

Whether the financial situation in Cuba is healthy one may we'll be doubted. There is surplus of fifteen million dollars in the treasury, which IS increasing at the rate of one million a month, while the banks in Havana hold fifteen millions more for which they are unable to find borrow CTS. And yet, we are told that the provisional government contemplates an issue of bonds to large amount, the proceeds to be used in the con- struction of railways.

The Paris cafe walters, who are on strike, are not demanding, as might naturally be supposed, an in- crease of wages or shorter hours. but strange as it may seem. are strik- ing against being compelled to pay for the privilege of serving the patrons of their employers. In other words, they receive no pay in the shape of wages, but are required to divide the tips received from customers with their so-called employers. That is worse than the Pullman sleeping car system in this country, the porters of which are obliged to depend al- most entirely on the generosity of travellers for their compensation.

THE FUEL SITUATION.

Just as the industrial interests of this section began to have hoIe of deliverance from the difficulties with which they were beset by the fuel situation, amounting at times to veritable famine, and for the most part of the last six months operating as a serious hindrance to the profit able prosecution of work in every branch of business and industrial enterprise, comes news of strike of the coal miners in British Columbia and Alberta, with the probable effect of so crippling the Canadian Pacific railway that it will be compelled, for time at least, to abandon it's l freight traffic, because of a lack of fuel for it's locom otives. It will also have the effect of closing down all l the smelters in the kootenai and Boundary districts, while the cessa- tion of the railroad freight traffic will naturally compel a suspension of operations by all industrial concerns dependent on the railway for the means of marketing their product. Indeed the strike, if long continued, will have a far reaching effect, and will not only be disastrous to the business and industry of the section of country most imme diately concerned, but will extend to other districts with more or less injuri ous results.
 This strike can have no other effect than to acentuate the stress of the present prevailing situation in south- eastern Alaska-if indeed it does not serve to render that situation even worse than it has yet been. The railway directly affected will doubtless draw all that it can from the limited product of the Washing ton and Vancouver mines upon which this part of Alaska is compelled to rely for its present niggardly coal supply, and there will certainly be an increased demand upon those mines for domestic coal, hitherto supplied from those of the Crow s Nest and Alberta districts. With this absolutely certain state of affairs imminent, The Miner can see little hope for a restoration, in the inn mediate future, of the era of activity in this district which it had fondly hoped to see inaugurated ere this.
 Locally, we of Ketchikan have had less legitimate cause of complaint than the people of any other section of Alaska. The supply of coal for domestic uses, though scant, and at times so much so as to be equivalent to a famine, has nevertheless, been limited only by the inability of local dealers to have their demands supplied "a state of affairs which has prevail ed in all the Alaskan towns. When the fact is considered that the price of coal to Ketchikan consumers has been kept at the uniform price of S9 50 per ton, almost ever since the stringency in the supply began, as compared with S14 at Juneau and other towns along the inland route of the coal carrying ships, it would seem that our people have little cause for just complaint. They should rather congratulate themselves that the situation has been no worse. while indulging the hope that the present threatened greater stringency in the supply may be averted.
