The Alaska prospector., 1908-01-16

Seattle, Jan. 13-The Nome delega- tion to the recent Alaska Republican convention at Juneau, whose elec- tion of delegates was annulled by the national committee, and other Sec ond division men here are trying to frame up combination for the new convention in Ketchikan in May to nominate John w. Corson of Nome for delegate to congress and give the two delegates allotted to the territory in the national convention to the First and Third divisions.
 Washington, D. G., Jan. 13-Con- gressman Humphrey of Washington is urging upon the house the demand of the navy department for submarine and torpedo boats for the defense of Puget Sound.
 San Francisco, Jan. 13-The state convention of Republican clubs in session here indorsed Secretary Taft for the Republican presidential nomi- nation this year.
 Dawson, Y. T., Jan. 13-JudgeBur- bidge today decided in favor of the crown and against the Guggenheims the disputed Palmer, Going, Ander- son and Bronson & Ray gold conces- sions on Flat creek. Judge Burbidge is very i'll and believes himself to be dying. He therefore made the de- cisions without making as complete an investigation as he had intended in order to avoid another expensive hearing at Dawson, and allowed an appeal. Judge Burbidge was sent here by the Canadian government specially to hear the disputed conees- sion cases.

WAS ATTEMPT MADE
 TO BRIBE OFFICIAL?

Assistant District Attorney l.. V. Ray was surprised, on taking his mail from his postoffice box this morning, to find among the contents, certifi- cate of deposit for $1O, on the Valdez Bank & Mercantile Co.,, in his favor. Accompanying the money was note which read. 'This is only starter more will follow." MT. Ray is much perplexed over the matter, and does not know whethe.' a practical jolS> has been played on him by one of his many friends, or whether it was a bald attempt at bribery on the part of some one guilty of crime, whom the prosecuting officer, in the dis charge of his sworn duty, will be called upon to prosecute at the enSu- ing jury term of court, or some other party who seeks immunity for some actual or intended violation of the law.
 Local merchants and business men have been put to much inconvenience by the brOaching of their freight shipments, which occurs chiefly on the railroads cntransit from Eastern points and on the Seattle WharVes. One large local firm recently had a claim for $11OO against the transpor- tation companies for shortages.
 The companies have been endeav- bring to discover the perpetrators of these thcfts, and it is believed that an organized gang is engaged in the operations. Fourteen arrests of sus- poets were lately made in Seattle. On the promise of immunity from prosecution, one of the number offers to make q confession which he says will involve five trusted employees of the railroad, steamship and wharf companies. His proposition has not yet been accepted.
 Encouraging gold prospects have been found on the Mulchatna and Hoolitna rivers, large stream' of the Kuskokwim country. A number of prospectors are now working there, and doubtless a gold camp will be de- veloped, as there is the physical ap- pcarance of a placer field--that is, worn, WeIl-rOunded hills, indicating the erosion of ages and the conse- vuent existence Of vast beds of wash gravel. This gravel is impregnated with fine gold, and it is reasonable to suppose paystroaks will be found when more development work shall have been done.
 J. D. Green and w. J. Lakley, two prospectors, arrived from there Friday night, coming by way of Fairbanks. When seen by the Prospector, they

Owes Recovery to CutIcura.

MY son Clyde was almost com
pletely covered with eczema. PAysi-
clans treated him for nearly year
without helping him any. His head,
face, and neck we're covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell off. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that If
he got well he would be disigured for
life. When 1t seemed as If he could
possibly stand it no longer, l used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Resolyent. That
was the first night for nearly year
that he slept. In the morning there
was 4 great change for the better. IN
about six weeks he was perfectly we'll.

that created to-day by the answer and

Prom the New York Journal of Commerce
K is evident that British trade is not
declining under that deadly policy OF
free imports" The so-called tariff re-
formers for some reason shrink from the
term free trade" under which the vast
industry and trade OF the kingdom have
been built up. But how about that awful
thing. the "unfavorable balance Of trade, -
by which Great Britain has been accu-
mulating enormous wealth? The differ
ence between regular imports and eS-
ports last year was about SLIGO, ,O00. eco.
and the year before $l.I69. 100000. In 1901
it was $i,210000. 600, showing that this So
called "unfavorable balance" has dimin-
ished somewhat in consequence of ex-
ports increasing more than imports But
what is the effect OF this 'hnfavorable
balance?" 1t consists of commodities and
merchandise. or articles of value of some
kind. which the country acquires and
either consumes or accumulates in the
same or another form These have been
paid for somehow. in other products of
value or in service Of ore kind or an
other, banking. insurance. shipping &C.
They have not been acquired by exhaust
ing British gold. for Great Britain uses
gold as a medium of exchange the world
over and keeps up its supply so far as
necessary for that purpose. The fact is
that the United Kingdom has grown vast
~ rich on an unfavorable balance OF
trade"

From the Manchester Guardian
The statement in the newspapers that

attempts 10 hang the Babbicombe mur-
derer is now keeping a prosperous hotel
in the neighborhood, reminds a correspon-
dent of the curious passion pubIicanS have
for assOciating themselves with the grim
and the sensational. In the recent Wood
trial at the Old Bailey several enterpris-
ing members of ''the trade" made strenu-
Gus efforts to get themselves chosen upon
the jury. 1T would have meant hundreds
of pounds in my pocket" said one disap-
pointed candidate. And they have put
on the jury clerks and professional men
who didn't want the job and can't make
q penny-piece out Of it," If he had been
successful his house would have been
crowded with the curious for many days
after the trial. for personal narrative
is always more interesting than a news
paper report. When the roof OF Charing
Cross station fell in two years ago and
killed some workmen. a publican IN the
neighborhoOd promptly offered himself
for the coroner's jury and was gratefully
accepted. And. he added. in narrating
the incident. that would have paid me
