 Dr. Boyle went to Cordoya on d professional trip, and is expected to return this evening. The steamer Saratoga ran ashore on the mud flats at Cordova Satur- day morning, while enroute to Sew ard from Valdez. Captain Swensou of the steamer Elsie, which was at Cordova, promptly rendered assist ance, but Captain Schage said the Saratoga would float at high tide in the evening. That his judgment was correct is proved by telegram from Seward, received this morning saying that the Saratoga was sched uled to sail at 12 noon for Valdez. The steamer sustained no injury as a result of her impact with terra iirma at the railroad town.

It's passage after the year 1907 would render the law retro active, and therefore unconstitutional. Claims upon which the assessment was not done, revert to the public domain at 12 o'clock midnight on the 31st day of December. In view of the fact that an attempt will in all probability be made to secure a re- mission of the annual work for the year 1908, it is advisable that the chamber place itself on record in the matter.

Never within the history of the
state hav0sour county roads been
IN such a deplorable and impassa-
bic condition as they are today,
which is due to lack of funds To
repair them. The lack of funds
has been brought about by the re-
striction placed upon the county
courts by the Dawson tax laws.
The supreme court having decided
that the restriction did not apply
to the district road levy, Dawson
called a special session of the legis-
lature and recommended that laws
be enacted restricting the county
courts from levying beyond a GER
tain per cent. Thus the people
are compelled TO defray the enor-
nous expense of a special session
that is asked TO tie their hands
and prevent them from levying
sufficient to repair the county
roads so they can be travelled with.
out danger to life and limb.
The car Of Russia would not
attempt to dictate to his subjects
In the manner in which Bill Daw.
sor is trying to dictate to the peo
pie of West Virginia. The amount
of taxes which the people will
have to pay IN defraying the ex.
penses of the special session will
be much more than the districts
would have levied to repair the
roads.
May we ask how long are tn,
people going to tolerate this Daw
sonism? Are we going to have i,
published to the world that Bill
Dawson is greater than the people
of West Virginia? No; and by the
eternal on November next we vii
prove to the world that we are tn,
master and not Bill Dawson and

There are few who claim that

he will go into the convention

will have the majority of the del
egates, and in the three-cornered
light between Hearne, Scherr, and
