STARTS WAR ON HOGGATT

The seating of IIoggatt delegates in the national convention is un- fortunate because the opposite result would have eliminated the governor and his handful of adherentS from Alaska politics. As it is a war is started for that same elimination and the crusade will be backed by 90 per cent of the people of Alaska. The message telling of the seating of the lioggatt men announces that this places lIOggatt in control of Alaska"
 It is to prevent that control that the people of Alaska hy q big majority will rc-clcct Tom Gale delegate, there by showing the national capital that Gov. Hoggatt and his little Juneau junta do not represent the territory.
 The man who might have prevented the coming fight was John w. Cor son, nominee of the lIOggatt faction for delegate. Had he stayed with his friends he would have been nomi- mated for delegate without serious opposition and elected easily. He chose rather to ally himself with the Hoggatt squad, which does not con. trnl tn0n Vntoo i"} l'>' -'-r nnd hn will never be delegate in this century.

DAVID B. HILL IN
 ROASTING MOOD

New York, June 12-"Bryan is driv- ing the democrati: party to help de- clarcd David B. Hill this morning as he went aboard steamship bound for Europe. The former high chief tain of the democracy followed this caustic comment with others no less caustic concerning the political situa- tion in both parties.
 The republican party, according to MT. Hill, is disorganized, and he be- lievcs that the keynote of the present campaign of that party should be '"Taft and political patronage" The war secretary, in the opinion of Mr. Hill, is nothing more or less than a stalking horse for the president, and in the event that Taft is elected Mir. Hill expects to see the smoke from the Roosevelt gun rise gently above the bulk of his successor in office but not in power.
 Governor Johnson is characterized as the poorhousc candidate and ac- cording to Mr. fill the Minnesotan has no chance of election and little chance of nomination.
 Having thus disburdencd himself the Honorable David B. hied himself to his state room and in a few minutes was on his way abroad leaving the affairs of the country to adjust them selves as best they may without his supervision.

ELECTION AT WRONG TIME

IHe uate TOT eIectlon of delegate in congress from Alaska ought to be changed to late October, or even the first week in November. It is fixed by existing law for the second Tues day in August and more incon- venient date for miners and working men could hardly be chosen. In that month many hundreds of miners and prospectors are working in remote regions, often not more than two or three in one locality, so that it is inn practicable to establish polling places.
 Nearly all these men are back in the towns and larger mining camps before the end of October, where they spend the winter. If the election were to take place late in October the men who spend their summers in the hills but live all the year round in Alaska could vote. Now many of them are disfranchiscd, although the present arrangement gives a vote in Alaska to some gentlemen who live in the territory short time in the summer and spend the winter in Seat tie or California.
 The date of the delegate election was probably fixed for midsummer by congress in the belief that at any other season it would be too cold for the voters to go to the polls, but the notion is subject to amendment.

BIOLOGISTS START FOR
 NABESNA COUNTRY

under the leadership of Fred II. Motlit, party of government geolog- i'al surveyors, consisting of Mir. Moi fit, Adolph Knoph and s. R. Capps, ! of Washington City, with J. w. Bart lett, of this city, as packer, departed yesterday afternoon for the purpose of Investigating the mineral resources
 of the Nabesna and the White river
 country. Particularly will the party ! pay attention to copper and it's asso- ciate formations and it will also make
 a map of the region about the head
 of White river.
 1 This work will be a continuation of
 that begun in 1902 by Schrader and 1 Witherspoon and the present party i will ascend the Copper river and
 cross over to Sargent's camp where "'" '''iuIIrr SuppueS are caCuuu,
 working with that place as base
 camp. During the early part of the
 season the entire party will be en-
 gagged in geological work, but during
 the latter part of the party's stay,
 Mr. Capps will carry on the topo- graphical mapping, his work in this
 respect to include so much of the
 area about the head of White river
 as the time permits. Concerning the objects of the trip the United States 1 Geological Survey Press Bulletin 1 says:
 "ln view of the large amount of
 capital that is being invested in rail
 way construction and mining devel- [ opmcnts in the Copper river region,
 it is desirable that the surveys and ! investigations in this region should be
 actively pushed during the coming field season.
 'Mr. F. II. Moflt and Mir. Adolph
 Knopt, assisted by Mir. s. R. Capps, will undertake study and survey of the northern copper belt, which ex- tends along the inland front of the Wrangcll mountains from White river to the NabcSna. It is proposed to make as detailed study of the ore deposits of this district as may be possible during the season. The ox- isting topographic maps will be sup plemented by additional surveys of the upper White river region. This investigation will be an extention of the work of Messrs. F. IT. Momt and A. G. Maddren, who studied the southern copper belt during the last season and whose report is now in preparation. It is hoped that with the completion of the coming season's field work fairly complete account of these copper deposits, covering both the northern and southern belts, map be prepared.
 "1n view of the inaccessibility of this region, it has been necessary to send the supplies in during the win ter. These were started from Valdez about the first of February and were sledded in to the Nabesna. Mir. Moi fit and his party will leave Valdez as soon as the route into the interior is open, which will probably be about the first of June, making rapid journey to the scene of the summers work.u

A PRESS

Editor Crawford in the University
Discussion
Editor Crawford of the Saratoga
Sun is a conservative, zane writer. He
puts common sense into his editorial
~utterances and endeavors at all times
to uphold the best interests of the
state and its people. He makes edi-
torial comment upon the recent action
of the board of trustees as follows:
Frederick NJ. Tisdel is no longer
head Of the University of Wyoming.
AT a meeting of the board of trustees
held in Laramie last Saturday he was
summarily removed for 'maladminis-
tration, INSTRUMENTATION and untruth-
fulness.'
There can be no doubt of the wis
dom of this course. The relations be-
tween the board and the president
mad become so strained by reason of
a letter issued to the public by the
president on the 21st of March, in
which he charged that the trustees
were hampering him in his work in

the university nj that the board wal
controlled by politics, that it became
a question of whether the board
should resign or use their power to re-
move the president.
"On the 17th of July, 1907, Presi-
dent Tisjel gave voluntary testimony
before the commission appointed by
the governor at the request of the
board of trustees, which was examln-
ing into the charges Of graft and po-
litical influence made by Prof. Morton
against the board. In that testimony
he said in most emphatic terms that
no political influence of any charac-
ter had been used, or attempted to be
used, and hat he, as president of the
university was in no way hampered
by the board, but had all the power
he thought any president should
have.
In his circular letter sent broadcast
throughout the state, he charged that
the board was hampering hin in his
work, and that politics were being us.
ed in the control of the university.
When brought to task by the trustees
for these charges, the president was
unable to cite a single instance where
in political influence had been used,
or to substantiate the charge that he
was being hampered OF interfered with
in his duties as president.
ut was very apparent to the board
that his usefulness in the university
was at an end, and it would be folly
to leave him in his position as presi-
dent to go on d~iscrediting the board
and making trouble for the univer-
sity.
Mr.. Tisdel has never been able to
draw any students to the university
in fact, he was unpopular with the
student body. While possessing in
~tellectual ability and a splendid edu,
cation, he was lacking in executive
ability, and the power to warm up
to any one or to make friends for the
university. His term of service at the
university would have ended June 80,
1908, and but for the circular letter
referred to above he would probably
have been allowed to serve out his
time.
prof. ]. d. Towar was installed as
acting president until such a time as
a to Mr.. Tisdel may be
chosen"

A WESTERN VIEW.

Four years ago the powers that be
in and around Wall street decreed that
Roosevelt should not be given the
nomination for president. The decree
could not be carried out. The people
had made up their minds and commun-
icated their conviction to the leaders
of the party. After the nomination the
same influences undertook to defeat
him at the polls. They had been able
to dictate to the democratic party a
candidate suitable to them. But be-
fore the campaign had gone a month
confidential reports from all over the
nation convinced the most prejudice
opponents of Roosevelt mai the latter
was as good as elected, Then efforts
were made 10 compromise; the nation
al campaign treasury was o~yerstocked
by the people who had determined to
wage warfare against the candidate.
Some of the correspondence and a part
of the diplomatic moves then made
were given to the public in an en-
deavor to discredit the president at a
critical hour.
It has dawned upon the east that
William Howard Taft has been as
good as nominated to the office held by
President Roosevelt. The west knew
this quite a while ago.
The question will be with the coterie
of ''high financiers" what action to
take as between Taft and Bryan. If
the anti-Roosevelt influence could de-
feat the republican nominee even with
Bryan they would not hesitate to do
so; but like common mortals they hate
the idea of backing a loser. 1t is to
their interest to be IN the winning
side.
With the knowledge that Taft is as
good as nominated by the dominant
party and that his election is well as
sured there is not a sign of alarm.
Money is not running into the stock
ings; Wall street is in the possession
of the bulls"
History is going to repeat itself. The
comparatively few men who have been
so bitter against Roosevelt that they
have lost all sense of reason and bal
anoe, will come to the conclusion that
there is nothing to do but accept Taft
and make the best of it. As time
passes they will find many things
about him to admire. He will not traf-
fc with them any more than his pre-
decessor has done; he will insist upon
the square deal,' but he will guide
the nation in safety.
For the next six months the country
will go forward in the belief that Taft
is to be the next head.-Denver Re

The skeleton of Frank Blank of Red

bones lay in a clump of bushes about
200 yards from the ste of Blanks

of flesh by coyotes. Identification was
made possible by fragments of cloth
ing and jewelry. The sheriff Of Red
Lodge has been notified of the find.
Last September Blank went to the
Hutner ranch to camp out, hunt and
fish. He was accompanied from Red
Lodge by two companions, who left his
camp the same day it was established.
Nothing was seen of Blank for several
days and an investigation then made
did not locate MIN. For three days

WILL DRAW LANDS
I'M BIG HORN BASIN.

The state of Wyoming has set May
IL as the date for the drawing for the
choice of irrigated lands in the Big
Horn basin, watered by the Big Horn
Development company, to be held al
Wiley, Wyo. This land comprises 15O.'
900 acres of level, rich, productive soil
irrigated under the system known as
the Shoshone System Canal and the
Oregon Basin Canal system, of which
S. L. Wiley, formerly OF Omaha, Is
president. These lands are irrigated
by direct canals from the Shosnone
river, supplemented by a natural re-
servoir known as the Oregon basin,
which is filed by the flood waters
from the Shoshone river and used as
an insurance of a permanent and reli-
able supply. The land is situated be-
tween Cody and Wiley, and railroads
and automobiles carry the settlers to
the land.

zone touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kim"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he GALES all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
OF human nature Is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
ceptionally good-he wants all his
friends and neighbors to share the
benefits of his discovery. This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamberlain
Cough Remedy write letters to the
manufacturers for publication, that
others similarly ailing may also use it
and obtain relief. Behind every one
of these letters is a warm hearted
wish of the writer to be of use to
else. This remedy is for sale

Again: President Tisdel may not
have made a good record-if not he
should be released"
But If any person had an idea that
the Boomerang would stand by this
change of heart he was mistaken, for
now we find 1t again standing by him
and d%iscrediting the boards action, even
to the extent of republishing all the
malicious things said by outside pa
pers, these outside u%tterances being
caused very largely by its own damna-
Bile, vacillating course.
In January the Boomerang said of
Miss Hebard: "Our university library
is one OF the finest to be found in any
institution of learning and far superior
10 the reference library of most col
leges. Miss Hebard as librarian has
no peer, her aid is invaluable in this
line not only to students, but is al
ways freely given to town people who
frequent the library" But Miss He
bard was also to be disappointed in
her ephemeral friend. 1t a now
say nothing for her and much that is
d~iscreditable from either the stand
point of a newspaper or a gentleman.
The interest of the Boomerang Is
simply to discredit, ~disorganize, pull
down and destroy. In this it hopes to
build party politics for its own selfish
ends. Everything must be sacrificed
to narrow craftsmanship. One day it
commends a man, the next 1t con-
dennis him and again 1t takes up its
weak, vacillating policy In his common
dalton.
Just why Mr.. Corthell permits a pa
per he owns to pursue such a course
is past comprehension.
