That Mandamus

II is not clear why Mr.. Maxfield's
attorney should serve a writ of man.
damus on the city council of this
place to compel it TO proceed by lot
and determine which was elected
councilman at the late election, of Mr..
Brewer. The present council, as a
body, had nothing whatever to do
with the seating of Mr.. Brewer. The
old council canvassed the returns, de-
clared Mayor Hickok, j. B. Eager
and j.. G. Brewer elected and, after
administering the oath OF Office to
them, Immediately went out of exis-
lance. If any one was to be served
with a writ OF Mandamus it was the
old council, which is now out of exis-
lance, and cannot be reached. Ger
tainly the present council had no.
thing to do with canvassing the re-
turns and declaring who was entitled
to seats.
The only that Mr.. Max
field has in the present case is to file
a contest against Mr.. Brewer, carry
the matter into the district court,
where the ballot box can be opened
and the votes recounted. This will
determine which one is elected, or if
there is a tie. Then the court can
settle the question.

"Prior Appropriations"

1t is understood that Secretary
Garfield and Commissioner Ballinger
will spend some time in the west this
summer, Now if they will send out
the Smart Alecl," of IA clerk who
evolved the meaningless phrase'bona
tide prior appropriation" and have
him explain what is meant by it ev-
erybody would heave a sigh of relief.
After the first appropriation is grant
ed the settler wants to know how
there can be any prior appro-
priations" made. 1t is absurd to
have "A man 1000 miles away with no
knowledge of irrigated land and wa
ter rights than we have of fogs, prac-
tically nulliiy the effects of the des-
ert land law.-Douglas Budget.

We Believe You.

And we'd like to say right here that
barring accidents, the man who did
what Mr.. Hand did in 1906, can
and will do a better thing in 1907.
You, dear reader, know one side of
the situation. The writer is in the
position to know the other side also.
And to those who know it all, the
work of Mr.. Hand last year brands
him as IA really great man.-Encamp-

Editors Concerned.

The editors of Wyoming are fearful
that the recent frosts have killed the
apple crop at Lander. Most of the
pencil pushers of this state have not
seen an apple orchard filled with
growing fruit for some time and they
will appreciate the sight and parti-
cularly in the state of their adoption.
The association will be called to Or
der at 10 a. m. August 7 and expects
to be in session two days.

 Louis Lund, a Democrat. received the highest vote cast by the Treadwell Mine-FederaI official ticket which Gov eruor Hoggatt had in the field at the late primaries iu Juneau. This is no- torlOus, It is fact, The Alaskan trusts that, when the convention meets in Juneau, objection will be made to the seating of the Hoggas, delegation, com posed of Democrats, non-residents and federal officials. The mere fact that the ticket is backed by Governor Hog gait makes DO difference. HOggatc amounts to no more than any other citi- zen of Alaska He has entered the fight to save bis office. He should be treated the same as any other man and his ille- gal delegates put outside the cOnven- tion as soon after the delegates are in session as the matter can be gotten around to.

Hannah started to move his desk a few feet from the wall, and in doing so disturbed the Slumber of the snake. which had evidently been nest ing behind the desk for several months. The marshal called to Frank Gillette, who was in the room, and to- gether they succeeded in shooting the reptile. A stampede was created among the young women working in the courthouse when the snake began to dodge the marshaTs shots.

NOT ALL BAD

The Rev. Albert c. Hart declares that 90 per cent Of the diyorces of this country have had their origin on the dancing floor and in the cheap tbesters. When the divorce laws of the country have oeen reformed, and when the codes Of the different states have been placed on uniform basis, there will be many less divorces than now, say the judges. There will be just as much dancing and just as much theater going in proporlen to the population as now. This would lead the average man to think that the Rev. Hart had allowed a very natural autipathy for certain forms Of amusement to Ie q him iuto a statement that has more sensation than sound sense in 1t. Certainly some dancing is evil, and some things seen and heard at the theater are less inspir- ing than 8 good sermon, says the Seat tie Times, but the world is not going to listen to preaching all the time. No matter how fine the preaching may be-. There issome good in everythiug-even dancing or the laughing of of dull care, 1T it is at a teu-cent show, and the Rev. Mr. Hart is going to have @ hard time to convince the world that he is right iu his assertions.

MUzzLING THE ILASKsa

The Alaskan has been generally com mepded for the stand it took iu the mat ter of the c. P. R. yesterday. This pevspsuer cares for the business of no man or corporation to whom it has to cater to obtain it. The Alaskan IS a business institution. It pays for every- thing 1t gets and expects 10 be paid for what it does. It has never wiliuhy harmed the interests of any person that is trying to do business in 8 legitimate manner. In future it's policy will be guided along the same lines, but it will @, all times, when necessary, defend the interests of the public should they be abused 0y corporations. The with drswal of patronage is not cOurted by this newspaper, but. no sleep will be lost over it.
 The petty attempt of local agent F. F. ". Lowle to muzzle The Alaskan was, as it most certainly deserved, re sisted summarily, and has been taken up with the head officials of the Cana. dian Pacific railsoad at Vancouver and Montreal. and Mr. Lowle will hear fur ther from his precipitate action shortly CT The Alaskan is very much mistaken.

LAURA E. PARISH.
A FRIEND IN NEED.

During the recent financial strin-
gency, or so-called panic, persons In
sured In the Mutual Benefit Life 1ns.
Co., have more fully than ever before
realized the fact so often stressed In
this advertisement, that the Mutual
Benefit was in a separate and distinct
class from all other life companies In
the matter Of helping the fellow who
needed help, and needed 1t badly. Lit
terally thousands Of policy holders
have been able to borrow money from
the company with no other security
than their policies and at per cent
interest, when they could get 1t no
where else. Many farmers still have
their cotton because they got cash to
meet pressing needs from the Mutual
Benefit, while many who Insured last
wear borrowed money from the COM
pany to settle premiums due this year
The Mutual Benefit Is the only reputa-
BILE company of which we have any
knowledge that guarantees In its con-
tracts to loan a policy holder any part
or all the money with which to settle
his second premium. Look before you
leap!
