BIG MOTOR BOAT EXHIBIT FOR FAIR
Power Craft Manufacturers From All Parts of Coun-
 try to Make Display.

Seattle, July 15-For the first time
 in the history of worlds fairs the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, which will be held here from June
 to October l5, 1909, will have large | exhibit of motor boats. Henry F.. Dosch, director of exhibits and privi-
 leges, has just completed plans for
 the display. Manufacturers are talk ing up the matter and their letters
 indicate that they will put forth their best efforts to have big exhibits. They
 realize that Seattle is a good market
 for motor boats, and that moro than
 likely they will be able to dispose of all of the boats on exhibition and
 more too by the time the fair closes. The exposition being situated as it. is, with Lake Washington bordering upon one side of the grounds and
 Lake Union on the other, affords an
 uneXcelled opportunity for the dem onStration of motor boats. Lake Washington which is the largest fresh water body in the Pacific Northwest, having an area of thirty eight square miles. is piled by scores of power boats at the present time, Seattle has
 a motor boat club with strong mcm- bership and it's pleasure cruises and
 races are held on Lake Washington.
 It is asserted that there is no other city in this country endowed with better facilities for motor boating
 than Seattle. Besides Lake Washing
 ton and Lake Union there arc the
 broad waters of Puget Sound which
 afford the enthusiast great opportuni- ty. There is both salt and fresh water, and the scenery on all of the
 waters about Seattle is unsurpassed. The climate is such that motor boat ing can be enjoyed all the year around.
 A pavilion for the motor boat dis
 play will be built on piles over Lake Washington in one of the prettiost spots OH the exposition's shore line.
 It will be 100 by 600 feet in size and will be provided with slips varying from six by twenty feet to twenty by
 eighty feet. On the shore side of the
 pavilion will be exhibited boats,
 machinery and accessories. The ex-
 hibitors will be enabled to have their
 boats in the water for demonstration
 to visitors by trial trips on the lake. Motor boat races will be feature
 of the sports at the exposition and it
 is expected that many records will
 be broken. A motor boat show will
 be given in Seattle this coming Feb ruary by the Seattle Motor Boat Club
 under the auspices of the National
 Motor Boat Association of the United
 States.

WANT OPPOSITION TO QUIT

The syndicate which is trying to annex Alaska has thrown n chunk of raw meat at the opposition by it's latest effort to disorganize the Alaska sentiment which does not bow down to the Guggenheim- Morgans by trying to back Tom Gale out of the race for delegate. The statement that Gale had withdrawn from the fight is about the lumpiest work recently exhibited ill Alaska politics. When Gale wants to quit he will hardly give notice first to his enemies.
 The politico-financial syndicate and it's agents are we'll aware that a large majority of Alaska people arc against delivering political control of the territory over to them and they can win only by dividing the opposi- tion. They may succeed but they could build several miles of railroad with the money they are spending in politics. The outlay on mendacity is unimportant for their stock is un- limited.

H0GGATT TELLS WHY
 HE LOVES THE GUGGlES

Following is that portion of the Seattle -Post-lntelligencer's recent in terview with Governor Hoggatt iu which he is quoted as giving his req. sons for urging government support of the Guggenheim railroad in Alaska and opposing all others:
 '"l have been accused of acting as the personal representative of large interests in Alaska, and it is said by those who oppose me on the question ofhome rule that this Is the'reason for my attitude on that question: said Gov. Hoggatt. ''l am opposed to the grafter and the man who tries to get something for nothing. will not be drawn into personal fights of conflict ing interests, but will always work for what l believe to be for the best interests of Alaska. The construction of railways in Alaska is an important factor in building up the northern country, and have been subject to severe criticism because have op- posed the granting of franchises to people who claimed they desired to build railroads, but in reality the franchise they were seeking was noth- ing more than perpetual right-of- way without any qualifications as to construction. When l opposed the granting of such franchise to John II. McGraw and associates, McGraw raised campaign fund to fight me. I also opposed the granting of similar franchise to the Alaska Central rail way, and will continue to oppose all such schemes unless the grant con tains requirement. for the construc- tion of the road.
 "I am in favor of legitimate railway enterprises for Alaska, but will al- ways oppose schemes that give right of-way to people who have no inten- tion of building and simply hold the grant to.keep out legitimate compan- ies. Because favored the granting of n franchise to the Guggenheim road have been subject to severe criticism. The packers of this road have shown that they mean business and have the capital to carry out the project, and will favor any similar project that makes the same showing.
 '"The Reynolds Alaska Develop ment Company was another concern that fought me because of my atti- tude on its projects. Mir. Reynolds proposed to do some things that were not only impossible, but absurd, and, backed by tho endorsement of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, he attempted to force support for his schemes.

THAT KETCHIKAN FIGHT

Let nobody be misled by the per sistent iteration that the Ketchikan convention was q square deal. The Juneau gang never meant to give anybody q square deal and every claim put forth from that source of willing ness to unite the party on any fair ba- sis was false pretense.
 What the Hoggatt outfit wanted was to gobblc every thing. They had less than fifty delegates out of one hun dred and fifty with shadow of le- gitimate credentials and even their deal with Corson gave them no ad- ditional uncontested votes. The op- position faction had 103 votes from precincts that could be carried the same way every day in the year, and thirteen besides. Yet the anti-Hog- Sw,Stt faction offered to split even, but Very concession made in the interest bf harmony was so much given away.
 As soon as the delegates left Ketchi- kan the two or three stray Hoggatt organs in the territory set up the yawp of Il ''lIoggatt victory," and have been knocking the territorial government plank ever since. The lIoggattites sold their pet principle Csic) for the post of national commit teeman but are not honest enough to stay bought.
 Not only did the anti-lioggatt men have more than two-thirds of the del cgatcs at Kctchikan but they had them in spite of as rotten an appor- tionmcnt as that which gives Missis- sippi as many delegates as Kansas in national republican conventions. Ju- ncau had ten delegates and Valdez five, yet Valdez has more people and more voters, and two years ago pollcd nearly three times as many rcpubli- can votes. Measured by the IIoggatt rule of property qualification for gov ernmcnt Valdez doubles Juneau, inn porting twice the value of goods in 1907, as shown by the report of the customs collector.
 Cordova, d Guggcnhcim railroad camp with little permanent popula- tion, was given four delegates at the sIiefnudi of Shackleford through the connivancc of Corson and Sheldon. Fairbanks has at least double the pop ulation of Juneau and Cordova com bined but was given the same number of votes.
 As for the result at Chicago that was merely a case of dictation by the great Am in the White House who knows nothing of Alaska and will let nobody but Hoggatt and Jarvis tell him anything.

BOSTON BARD SENDS
 WARNING TO ALASKANS

The following poem is fired at the Guggenheims by a warrior who signs the name of Will Atkinson. It comes in the mail from Boston to the Pros pectOr and is addressed "1'o Sour doughs." The Prospector: disclaims all credit for the effusion but is will ing to give Sourdoughs the benefit of the advice it contains: You have climbed sky-tow'ring gla-
 ciers,
 You have mushed in through the
 snow,
 You have learned the lore of ages
 Only the brave may know; You have forced from Death his
 secrets
 Though.h buffets you about Yet the Guggenheims will get you
 If you don't watch out! You may win your game with Fortune Though you know Death cogs the
 dice,
 You have left behind the sunshine To face bleak worlds Of ice; You have conquered myriad perils
 Undeterred by fear or doubt But the Guggenheims will get you If you don't watch outl More treacherous than the river
 Where the thin ice masks it's flow, Far keener than'the wolf's sharp fangs Colder than sleet or snow, Is their devouring maw of greed;
 More cruel than the knout; But the Guggenheims have got you If you don't watch out. Their methods are the wolf packs, Their morals are the sty's, They wiring their gold from hunger And heed not famin's cries. Oh, Alaskansl Rise and fight them Drive their hireling crew to routi Such thieves are only dangerous

CANNOT LOSE VALDEZ

Valdez needs no railroad to retain it's supremacy as the mining center of Southern Alaska and chief seaport for a vast area of the interior although q railroad would help some by mak- ing transportation easier and cheaper to the inside mining camps. Valdez has no occasion to be Jealous of any riva town, because all the railroad building on the southern coast so far has added travel to Valdez and taken no business away. There is room for all the towns now on the coast and none will hurt any other.
 The map shows that the railroad now building from Cordova, even if 1t goes up the Copper river, will never approach as close to Valdez by land as the terminus is by water Vice President ECcles says the intention is to build only to the Bonanza mine Tn that case it. will not cut off the Valdez trail to the interior because at the point where it will turn east it will be nearly,as far from the nearest point on the trail as that point is from Valdez.
 The whole interior from the trail westward to the upper Susitna is trib- utary to Valdez and no railroad from any other point can take its trade away unless the Alaska Central should build up the river, possibil- ity too remote to cause immediate worry.

ONE ROUTE TO sUsITNA

There is just one practicable route to the Susitna gold district and that Is from Valdez. All other routes from the coast arc ont of the question and repeated trials have demonstrated the fact. Cook inlet Is out of the race until tlie government builds s trail from there as good as the Valdez trail |, and the government will be in no hurry to duplicate it's own work.
 Fairbanks alone Is encroaching up- on Valdez territory by trying to sup ply the Susitna district but 1t can make little headway beyond outfit ting the mon who go in from the Tan ana. Nevertheless Valdez ought to keep out fitting from the north down to the minimum by stretching its ad- yantages to the utmost. All the town needs ia e fair trail from Gulkana and a mall route from the coast and then to let nature take It's course. Sup plies arc so much cheaper in Valdez 4ban in the north that an even break

THE ALUMNI Will
BANQUET FRIDAY
Organization Of Local Alumni Of Famous Apolonian Club
Perfected Here---Fve E-pres-
dents in City

A very interesting organization
has just been formed in the city by
number of leading young men.
The Apollonian Club, a college or
ganization in the nature of fra
ternity. is the pioneer club of the
Colorado College of Colorado Springs
and 1t is one of the best known or
ganizations of its kind in the west.
1t was formed many years ago and
the membership rolls of the Apollon-
| ian bears the names of great num-
Der of the best known men in the en-
tire western country.
Some time go a member of the
club residing in this city began to in
vestigate and he found that there
are residing in this city or very near
| it seven members of the Apollonian
Club alumni, and among these sew
Ell gentlemen there were five ex-
presidents of the famous old organ
ization. What is still more interest
ing, these seven gentlemen were all
in Colorado College and all members
of the club practically at the same
time. all having attended college be-
tween the years of 1898 and 1902.
The seven gentlemen are Attorney
William Weiser, Attorney Ben Grif-
fifth, Attorney R. L. McChntock. DR..
y. II. PlumD, -. Vi. Rlce ana j. U.
McClintock.
The gentlemen determined to form
a local alumni of the Apollonian Club
and this has been done, and tomor
row evening at the LaCourt hotel
the first annual banquet of the local
alumni will be held. The banquet
will be opened at the hour of s pm.
A most elegant menu will be served
and the affair will rank among the
brightest of the springs social func-
tions.
The guests will be the members of
the alumni and their ladies-four-
teen guests in all.
The program of toasts is as fol-
lows:

the appropriations. Then he has at
each and every meeting since he be-
came city clerk kept the board of
aldermen and the respective mayors
fully informed of the condition of
the funds, so that no attempt would
be made to spend money in excess
of the appropriations.
II anything more is necessary to
fully convince the public that the
affairs of the city have been most ala

City Clerk Conley said this after
noon that all of the water warrants
would be redeemed in the space of
60 days.
Under the last two democratic adj
ministrations of the affairs of the
city bonded indebtedness amount
ing to over fifty thousand dollars has
been wiped out through a careful,
businesslike administration.
Does anyone desire fairer show
ing of stewardship of public affairs
than is shown in the statement Civ
en- above?
How does that statement size up
with the one made through the Her
aid and which was purposely made
misleading and false.
The first aim of the administra-
tion has been to place the city upon
firm financial basis. This has been
done. and all credit Is due the mayor
and board of aldermen of the city.
No little credit is due to City Clerk
John NJ. Conley for the manner in
which he has administered the affairs
of the clerks office. He at all times
refused to permit the various funds

on verdict of acquittal.
The defendants plea of justifica-
ton and self-defense was evidently
considered proven.
More arguments in the Steve Ad-
ans case were heard before Judge
Shackleford this morning.
Counsel for Adams, Judge o. N.
Hilton, asked that a commission be
appointed to take a deposition from
Harry Orchard, now under sentence
of death In the Idaho penitentiary.
The theory of the defense is that
Orchard, when about to die and fac
Ing the great unknown, will tell the
truth and repudiate his famous con-
fession which implicated Steve Ad-
ans.
District Attorney Selfg resisted
the appointment of a commission.
but it was granted by the court.
There is no Colorado statute gov
erning the case of securing testH-
mony from witnesses in other states
and the conditions here are anoma-
lous, since the court connot enforce
its order If the Idaho authorities re-
fuse to allow Orchard to be interro-
gated.
However, Judge Shackleford de-
cided that 1t was only fair to Adams
to allow him all possible opportunity
to secure evidence.
No announcement has yet been
made as to the change of venue in
this case.
