STATE ESTRAYS LAW
OPINION OF STATE ATTORNEY
An Apparent Conflict Of the Laws
Of 1905 and 1907.

The opinion of Attorney Gener-
al Atkinson, given in response to
an inquiry from Columbia county,
which directed attention to all APP
parent conflict between the acts Of
1905 and 1907 relating to estrays,
seemingly clears up the issue. In
the act Of 1907 it is provided that
"estrays in any county in which at
least three-fourths of the area out
side of the cities and towns there
in, shall be under Enclosure or
fence, may be taken up at any
time during the year, while I'M
der the act of 1905 no fees are al
lowable in any case where stock
may be taken up at other times
than between October 1 and March
/.
The attorney general holds that
estrays may be taken into the pos
session Of the finder, registered,
advertised, and fees collected for
their safe keeping during the
months from March l to Septen
Der 80, the same as, under chapter
% Of the laws of 1905 can be done
during the balance of the year.
The conflict between the two
acts was apparent, rather than real
The effect of the act of 1907 seems
to have extended the earlier law
through the year; in other words,
the act Of 1905 covered the period
from October l to March / and
the act of 1907 filled in the gap by
covering the period from March !
to September 80, which would
complete the year. In this view,
Which is the view taken by the
attorney general, the two acts
seem to be wholly consistent.

In The ShoQv Room.
By D. p. DARROW,

By DIP. DARROw,
How dear to my heart are the scenes of the
show room,
With its rows of cooped beauties, the
ROSTERS and hens;
All growing and cackling and saw-dust
a-hyin
And especially around those large breed
ing pens.
That crowed old show room,
That saw dust filled show room,
That noisy old show
That FANcIERs love we'll.
See there i'll yon corner a fine Brahma
pullet
And then along side Cochin or two
A Langshan, Leghorn, both plump as a
bullet.
And Plymouth Rock pair that is hard to
out do.
That crowed old show room,
That saw dust filled show room,
That noisy old show room
That BREEDERS love we'll.
Just look at the Judges, the sturdy old
veterans,
See how they size up the singles and pairs;
They've been i'll the business Since years
of young MANHOOD
And now heads are covered with silvcry
hairs.
That crowed old show room,
That saw dust filled show room,
That noisy old show room
That JUDGES love we'll.
Do you notice those prize cards, red, white,
blue and yellow?
That are tackled SO promiscus all round
the room?
They tell you Of merits that entit(e the
owners
To whoop up their pet breed and make it
just boom.
That crowed old show room,
That saw dust filled show room,
That noisy old show room
That BUYERS love we'll
Now how can he do it, and thus be
successful
In selling his pets, those that won the first

The answer is simple and all will quite
grant it,
Just select good paper and at once
advertise.

That saw dust filled show room,
That noisy old show room
That SELLERS love we'll.

CHAPTER Y.

YN the lives of countries there are
crises where for breath destinies
lie in the laps of the gods and are
4 jumbled heads or tails. Thus are
marked distinctive cycles like the sew
en- ages Of a man. and, though perhaps
they are too subtle to be perceived at
the time, yet, having swung past the
shadowy milestones, the epochs dis
close themselves.
Such a period in the progress of the
far northwest was the 10Th day of
July, although to those concerned in
the building of this new empire the
day appealed only as the date of the
coming of the law. All Nome gath
cred on the sands as lighters brought
ashore Judge Stillman and his follow
ing. 1t was held fitting that the Sen
ator should be the ship to safeguard
the dignity Of the first court and to
introduce justice into this land of the
wild.
The interest awakened by his honor
was augmented by the fact that he
was met on the beach by a charming
girl who flung herself upon him with
evident delight
That's his niece" said some one.
''She came up on the first boat. Names
Chester Swell locker, eh?'
Another newcomer attracted even
more notice than the limb of the law;
a gigantic, we'll groomed man, with
keen, close set eyes and that indefin-
able easy movement and polished bear
ing that come from confidence, health
and travel. Unlike the others, he did
not daily on the beach or display much
interest in his surroundings, but with
purposeful frown strobe through the
press up into the heart of the city.
His companion was Strives partner,
Durham, a middle aged, pompous man.
They went directly to the offices Of
Durham & Strive, where they found
the white haired junior partner.
Mighty glad to meet you, Mr.. Nc
Namara," said Strive. "Your name is
a household word in my part of the
country. My people were mixed up in
Dakota politics somewhat, so I've al
ways had a great admiration for you,
and I'm glad you've come to Alaska.
This is a big country, and we need
big men,
Did you have any trouble?" Dun
ham inquired when the three had adj
journed to a private room.
Trouble" said Strive ruefully.
ssWell. wonder If l did. Miss Ches-
ter brought me your instructions o. *.
and l got busy right off. But tell me
this-how did you get the girl to act
as messenger"
There was no one else to send,' an
swered Mcnamara. @Dunham intend
ed sailing on the first boat, but he was
detained in Washington with me, and
the Judge had TO wait for US at Seat
tie. We were afraid to trust stran-
ger for fear he might get curious and
examine the papers. That would have
meant He moved his hand elo-
quently.
Strive nodded. II see. Does she
know what was in the Documents"
Decidedly not Women and bust
ness don't mix. hope you didn't tel
her anything"
NO; haven't had a chance. She
seemed to take a dislike to me fol
some reason. I haven't seen her since
the day after she got here"

placed his arm about her waist. Her
eyes were staring and horror filed
Don't be frightened" said he, smil-
ing at her reassuringly. But his own
lips shook and the sweat stood out like
dew on him, for they had both been
close to death. There came q surge
and swirl through the crowd, and
Dextry swooped upon them like a
hawk.

For Governorship But Would
Appreciate denomination for
Attorney GeneraIship.

Attorney General Clark w. May in
an interview just given out at Charles
ton, says that he viii not be a candI-
date for governor of West Virginia.
AT present. on account of the great
amount OF work - the oaice and par
tcularly on account of the suit of the
commonwealth OF Virginia VS.. West
Virginia, now pending in the supreme
court OF the United States" said Mr.
May, Il could not devote any time to
a canvass for governor without neg
lecting the states interest in this very
important litigation; and as this suit
has now reached the point where It
demands most careful attention and
nearly all OF my time. and us It can
not be ended during my term of Of
lice. I have decided to say to the peo-
pie that l would very much appreciate
a denomination for attorney general.
II shall not enter any unseemly
scramble for a second term in this Of
nce." continued Mr.. May, but shall
simply submit my claims to the pco-
pie for their consideration; and if it
be their win to renominate and re-
elect me, shall continue, TO dis
