If his theory be correct, cent on each

out, probably from some other hundred
thousand dollar basis.
Instead. therefore, of the county los

So, 40S.67.
Puzzle-if the county had spent over
$40 600 of State money on State roads
more than it received during the last 3
years, how was it able to build that

State money?
And the worst of the whole matter Is

Build Both Extensions

There is some newspaper talk of di-
verting the Pennsylvania and MARYLAND
electric road from Salisbury Pa, to
Oakland instead of Frostburg -'as a
better paying proposition" Perhaps so,
but the JOURNAL doubts it,
Meanwhile, why not two "better-pay-
ing propositions" than one?
Frostburg?
For if "a better proposition" is what
the road people are after, they never
can tell by going only to Oakland?

settlement of all claims against former
taX-collector, William Hanna, and
recommended the release of Mr. Hanna s
bond. He also reported that be had been
unable to collect anything from L. Rich
ardSon, also a former collector, and that
he had docketed suit against Mr. Rich
ardsOn and his sureties.
Street committee reported work pro
crossing on paving sidewalks ON Ormand
street.
Light committee had gone over town
and recommended removing arc light on
cents III convenient places; recon-
mended placing lights at the following
points:
Near G. Hughes residence Spring street ;
Beall Lane; corner Water street and Frost
avenue, and at Steyer and Center streets.
An Ordinance to prohibit the use of
snow plows and snOw-sweepers, attached
to and operated by electric cars within
the corporate limits, and to prohibit
piling-up snow on any streets so as to
obstruct and impede travel, was intro
duccd, and brought out considerable
discussion.
Mr.. Shea thought the Ordinance was
trio railway.
Mr. Dillon believed the Ordinance too
sweeping in its provisions, and, if en-
forced as it stood, would interfere with
traffic on the railway and cause delays
in many ways as we'll as other incon-
veniences.
Mr.. Brown said it would be hard
ship on many miners who, if the cars
~ .h1l
snow blocked tracks, would be unable
to get to their work.
The discussion waxed warm at times
and resulted finally in a motion to lay
over for one month; meanwhile the
Street committee was instructed to con
fer with the railway company in regard
to the matter.
Two communications from the West
ern Maryland Telephone Company con-
corning their assessment by the town
were read. The town has assessed the
telephone company trife more than
$4,000, and company considers that
81 400 is just and equitable.
After some discussion MesSrs. Dillon
and Brown moved that the assessment
as made by the town assessors stand,
and that the company be notified thar
unless paid suit would be entered to
recover.
The same question was raised CON
corning the Western Maryland Gas
Company's assessment, and the same
disposition made. The town has as
sessed the gas company So, 900; COM
pany claims SO 900 is about right.
The question of settling for the paw
ing of Union street, held over from last
meeting, was brought up and discussed
at some length. 1t was moved to refer
the matter to the Legislative committee
and the Attorney with instruction to IN
vestigate, and if it be possible to recover
payment for same to have a bill drawn,
providing for IA commission for that pur-
pose, to be introduced for action by the
State General Assembly, next session.
Miss Hannah Preston was present and
asked to be placed on the list of free
water consumers. After some discus
sion it was decided not to grant her
request.
Mrs. Strube, an aged woman with no
income, was placed on free list.
Bills aggregating $l,Sl250, water
SlOO,61, corporate $l,4lI.S3, were read
and or dered paid.
Council adjourned at 1905.

TRiIAG TO SAVE HOGGAT

Friends of Thomas Gale, delegate from Alaska to Congress, declare that they will ask the Juneau Republican convention next month to avoid any direct reference to Gov. ". B. Hoggatt, who was badly beaten In the Alaska primaries. The convention will make a strong endorsement of Gale and will declare outright for territorial govern meut, two things that reflect a dlssat- IsfactlOu with Gov. Eoggatt's political course, and the Gale advisers think that Is enough.
 Gale has SD overwhelming majority in the Juneau convention and among hls friends there are scores eager to make an outright criticism of the Alas ks governor. It may require consider able hard work and much political fne5se to prevent the convention from expressing it's disspprOYAl openly, but Gales closest friends think the more ezpedieDt plan to be to ignore Hoggatt personally.
 It is claimed the results Oi the Re- publican primaries settle Eoggatt's standing with the party in Alaska and must be interpreted literally, That means AlsIks Is on record for all time
The daily Alaskan., 1907-10-15

in favor of territorial government and official reports to the contrary will be discounted by the showing of the pri. maries. The question was presented squarely enough by both Gale and Hog. gait, so that there is no real chance to read another interpretation of the con, vsntiOn results.
 Gale will undoubtedly be endorsed, Then he will be elected to head the Republican delegation to the national convention next year and will subse. Quently be chosen as Republican nation al committeeman. The convention wi 6e strong for the present national ad- ministratiOn, but just how this will be expressed in resolutions is uncer- tain.
 The prominence to be given Gale in the Alaska convention may shape his future political course. His was an independent election for the first term, but It is questioned by Alaska politi- ticlans whether he will be able to accept a second lndepeudentnomlGstion in view of hls prominence as Republi- can committeeman, If he accepts a party nomination, strong pressure win be brought to bear upon the Demo crats to endorse him aud such a result might be brought sbOut.-seattle Times.
 As we'll might the friends of Thomas Gale try to ride down the wind as to prevent a resolution of condemnation of Governor Hoggatt passing the Ju- uesu convention. For too long has the practice prevailed of having Governor Hoggatt all but out and then allowing him breathing spell in which to re. gain himself. The trouble has been heretofore that nothing has been known at Washington about the Alas ka Governors aespOtlsm. The proper thing for Delegate Gale to do Is to at tend to his own knitting and allow Alaska delegates to fight out their grievances with AlaSka's betrayer, to fight It out quickly and forever.

THEY ARE DETERMINED

The enraged citizens Of British Co., .lumbis do not Intend to cease their pro- testa,iOn against the invasion of orien- tai labor with the outbreak recently at Vancouver. Neither are they adopting the humble attitude with apologies and pleas to the Dominion government. Rather are they organizing for per sistent and extensive campaign against the Orientals. It is now announced that moniter petition signed by hun dreds of British COlumbians is on it's way to the premier, Sir wilirid Lau- rier, praying that regardless of foreign countries and all sentimental and polit- Icsl considerations, the government i'm mediately pass Legislation to insure ab- solute exclusion of Orientals from the Dominion of Canada. The matter is, of course, rather delicate and difficult one for the Dominion and British gov ernmsnt to handle. The Hindus are British subjects, and the Japanese are sll but Invited over by the close alli- auce between Japan and Enlgand, But ultimately Canada will have to protect herself from the invading hordes from Japan or be literally overrun by the "llttle brown men" held in such aver sion as competitors in the labor field. It official action is taken iL should be promptly, before. the in-rushing thou sands have gained toOthOld from which they cannot be dislOdged.

The thin gold of the sun lies slanting

 ples. Through the mingled gloom and green
 they scarcely speak at all, And their broken voices rise and fall
 unutterably sad. There are no birds and the golden rod
 is gone. And a child calls out, far away, across
 the autumn twilight; And the sad gray of the dusk grows
 slowly deeper, And the old world seems old. Arthur Strlnger 10 the October EverybOdy's.

RABID RAILR0ADIHG

The Alaska railway builder must be man who is not only fitted to wield the shovel and sledgehammer-he must be a warrior, crack shot with @ re- volver or a rife, and, above all, be must be ever on the alert to hold his own against a foe just as keen as he. That foe Is another railroad builder who is seeking to cross hls line or co cupy the same pass tha, he has claimed for bis own,
 There has been real warfare, there in Alaska, and the men On both sides have been Americans. They have bsttled as if the cause to them were liberty or death; yet both were the hired em- ployss of contendlng companies. They have fought just ss brayely and just as de,ermInedly as, perhaps, their ia thers fought h the war between the South and North, or with just as much grit as they themselves, it might be, displayed in hunting Aguinaldo in the wilds of 8 Philippine jungle.
 It is strange that in Alaska, with all lts thousands, even hundreds Of thou sands of square miles, It should benec- esssry for rival Interests to shed blood over possession of few feet of ground over which to run a train, both sides being equally anxious to prosecute their work with the same object in view, the development Of the country's riches. Yet every little while down comes word from the North that battle be- tween rival railway companies has taken place, and that men have been wounded and even killed.
 Perhaps there is DO other place ln- the world where white men have been at open warfare in the last few months as In the vicinity of Catalla or Valdez. First it was at Cstalls thst a fight took place, when the Guggenhelm railway sought to build s track across A rival. line starting to penetrate the interior. Then, followed, much more recently, a battle in a pass back of Valdez. the conteudIng forces being the Guggen- helms and the Alaska Home railway, That dispute over territory has been settled now by the United States Gov ernment, which will alisw both inter ests to lay their rails between the mountain heights.
 In these battles shots flew thick and fast, and then men stood guard over their ground through night and day, to prevent the enemy from advancing upon the coveted territory. They hunted each other through the swamps and forests many days before peace was declared.-Seattle Times.
 The above mslodramatic condition of railroad building ezistsd-in the mind of the Times writer-and no where else. The men engaged in the broll at Valdez were King street, Seattle, la- borers, who came to Valdez to work, were filled up with wildcat whisky and told to defend with their lives g wildcat railroad venture, a maudlin riot resulted.
