FIERCE FIGHT
 BY WOLVES

Jim Chisholm and the party of men who arrived from the Hosana last week related an occurrence that is typical of the northern wilds.
 The men had left some meat out and pack of wolves found it. The brutes fought over the meat and left plenty of evidence that the conflict was san guinary one. The snow was packed down in considerable area ard no less than five wolves were killed and rent in pieces in the bloody fray. The largest piece of whole skin left of the dead members of the pack was scarcely over a foot square. lt was brought in by the men
 They fetched the choicest lot of fur of the season. One of the wolf pelis was enormous in size. as thin as a wafer and exceptionally we'll furred. There were also number Of fine marten, wolverine and other skins.
 From this lot and from other sources the \, C, Ca. got between two and three hundred skins within few days.

COMPLAINT
 BY WELLS
About MinOOk Road Construction. Short Character Sketch of a
 Local Celebrity.

A private letter from Seattle, dated April l9, informed the Yukon Valley News that Frank D. Wells has been making adverse reports on the Big Minook road, S. E. Heeter, the super intendent of its construction, and every body connected with the same.
 ''It is remarkable" says the letter, 'how much trouble character like Wells can make, away from home, where his standing is unknown. Of course if they had realized, as the Ram part public do, that he is cultus, his letters would have been thrown into the waste-paper basket, where they belong.'
 Major Richardson talked in Seattle with men thoroughly familiar with af- fairs at Rampant. He expressed him. self as pleased with the work on the Big Minook road last year. The writer of the letter above quoted said Major Richardson would probably ask the representative people of Rampant to repudiate Wells so the department will know his complaints are groundless and not worth consideration.
 MP. Wells.
 It is obvious that man in Major Richardson's position must he keenly sensitive to the situation when he is called upon to defend himself and the men under his direction against the ac cusations of an individual like Wells.
 During q residence of more than four years here Wells has not been engaged in business or work of any kind, but has lived the life of q vagrant In 1906 he refused to pay his road tax or do the two days labor required by law. It was deemed cheaper to pass the matter over than to put the government to the expense of supporting him for term in jail; so he was not proceeded against He has existed in such q state of pro- found spiritual and physical coma that neither the vices nor virtues common to the ordinary run of humanity have re- lieved the tedum of his daily empti- ness. He is said to be accredited by some simple folk with being the author ized agent of some high minded people somewhere who are endeavoring to purify the judicial atmosphere in the Third district of Alaska. As bearing out this idea, it is asserted with proba- ble truth that he occasionally receives small remittances of money. When at intervals he develops sufficient energy to carry him to q seat in a public place of business, on his departure the proprietor of the place often feels called upon to apologize to his patrons for MT. Wells's visit.
 Such is the kind of man whom the Alaska Road Commission has to defend itself against, and by whom, it is pre- sumesl, the court officials and other public and private persons in the coun- try have been censored for the past several years.
 In this connection the Yukon Valley News wishes to say that In dealing vith Mr. Wells thus it Is performing thc most tiistasteiul duty that has yet pre-

as slaves, and where is the man now
bold enough to say that it has been a

to the representatives of the southern
states to deal with the situation there
as best they can in the interests of
humanity, good government and right

cluded his appeal by saying:

Mr.. Gearin declared that China would
be in position to demand admission
of her cheap labor if the privilege con-
tinues to be accorded to Japan. Con-
cerning the presidents message on
that subject, Mr.. Gearin said
"And in this connection would

"There is not one single objection
