 about to speak His brain he cudgeled Not word re-

 what he said My Beautiful, my Beautiful, who

Now there is one building that is put up to the "Alaska-Yukon" end of the show to construct, one that was undertaken by that contingent of it's own motion. That is the building of the Arctic Brotherhood. The cost of the structure is estimated at s25,OOO, Many camps of the order of the nOr.h are assuming the responsibility inyOlv- ed, ana are moving to make the enter prise 8 credltable success.

 The Alaska-Yukou-Paclao exposition hss had a lot of knocking t,om tho north for no apparent reason. The exposition is designed to benefit Seattle to be sure, but since it is seattle's idea, since Seattle took the initiative and is takIdg all the chances of loss, since Seattle Is doing all the work and putting up all the money that so far has been put up, it is a little difficult 10 see why she should be Oegrudged the benefit, Alaska must necessarily derive much benefit which is wholly the the result of this effort of seattle's. The show will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention that would not be otherwise attracted to it. A great number of excursiouists will come here through it's ageucv that would not otherwise come. Now, what place iu Alaska will derive the direct benefit Oi this result?
 Of fall the cities in the north Skag- way should give the exposition hearty support, because to that play for general results, or the patriotic impulse which almost alone must move the great ezpanse of the district In any assistance 1t renders, has here added the interest of direct Financial returns sure to accrae. Skagway should do its full share for the Arctic Brotherhood building and for the exhibit that is -ex, rected of Alaska.

SENSE AND HARDIHOOD OF GOVERNOR
 ROGGATT

The curious spectacle was had the other day iu Washington Of the Gov ernor of Alaska arguing before the douse Committee ou TerrltO les against the bill to provide territorial form of government for the region over which he presides. He said that Alaska was not yet ready to be converted into a Territory;that it's total white population scattered over vast area, does nos ex ceed 5000; that until the natural isola- tlon of AIaska's communities from one another is overcome by the transporta- ,ion facilities, the best form of govern ment is that by courts, which now ob- .ains. The governor said tbe voting strength of the dis'rict would lie within a few communities where mining inter. es.s or the saloon element would have control, ana that laws passed by @ legis' iaturs such as provided for under the territorial form Of government would ia the case of Alaska, be apt to lead to endless corrective legislation in Con- gress. There is great deal of sense iu what the Governor says, but bis hardi- hood in saying it shows that he is not seeking popularity at hOme.-Pacifc Commercial Advertiser.
 No, nor is he getting it. The Pacific Commercial Advertiser like that other trade paper that thought that Juneau was not the place for the Capital but also thought whitehorse was, Is only half right. The lack of sense in the governors utterance Is as great as is bis hardihood in utseriug 1t. Also the lack of sense Iu the Adyer- tiser's comment is Of proportion not 10 be easily overlooked. For # Alaska was a territory congress would have nothing to do with corrective legisla- tion." Alaska would then make her own laws and if congress thought they were not good laws it would annul them. In other words congress might veto our acts but would not act on it's own part. The action of congress a,d the lack of it is exactly the thing we seek to get away from iu self govern. meut. Governor Hoggatt's argument is simply thas of an apPointive officer who does not wish to hear 8 stronger voice than his own lin the region over which be presides." If Alaska were allowed to do 1t there would be a lot of corrective legislation" done at it's own capital to ccunteract the acts of this governor who has spent che whole winter laboriug hard in the interests of corporations which now own Alaska and against the interests of the people who have DO say whatever.

DOUGLAS. June ESPECIAL -
For once the old town of .Bisbee has
made Douglas its debtor. The old town
of sloughs, gulches and subways came
down here last night to produce under
the auspices of the best people on
earth the play titled the Texas Steer"
Now Douglas is a pretty game pro
position and the much heralded an
nouncement that Bisbee was going to
descend upon her with an amatuer
play could not suffice to stampede this
bailiwick But the best of it all was
that the packed house mot in polIl.

Bisbeeites do their worst, was the most
delighted bunch Of people that has ever
attended the Orpheum thearte

town provided the Texas Steer III

to obyiate this. The supervisors will
be asked TO create in all six polling
precincts, one for the present first
ward and all territory out of the city
to the west lying south of the South
western tracks, the voters to the
north of the tracks voting in Pirtle-
second and third wards combined;
the fourth, fifth and sixth wards each
to have separate voting places and
all territory to the north and east of
the city TO vote together at rolling
place in Sunnyside. In this way the
vote in each precinct would be equal
lied. vote approximating two hun
dred to three hundred being normal
for each polling place and the voter
living out of the city limits would not
be bothered by looking up imaginary
lines but would simply know that II
he lived west of the city he voted in
Douglas first ward and IL north or
east OF the city at Sunnyside. It is
believed the expense would be little
if any greater than now and might be
less, but at the very worst would not
be $50 more. This would even then
be warranted although there is no
reason to think the expense would
apprc ach that figure.
The committee decided to draft
and circulate a petition to embody
the facts and make recommendations
along the above lines which will be
presented to the board of supervisors
for action at their meeting on the
thirtieth Of this month.

Meeting of Citizens Saturday
to Devise Ways aid Means
to Secure Them.

DOUGLAS. June 7-(Special)-
of Douglas was held last night in the
council chamber of the city hall for
the purpose of devising ways and
means for improving the conditions
which existed at the last county cleo
ton This meeting was absolutely
without any political significance
whatever for the object sought Is the
benefit of all parties and of all peo-
pie alike and can have no bearing
upon the vote other than in the facil-
itating of voting, the counting of
votes and the removal of uncertainty
as to where residents without the city
shall be registered and exercise their
suffrage Last nights meeting was
to devise plan for better facilities
which win be explained TO voters ir-
respective of party who viii be asked
TO petition the board of supervisors
for the necessary extra polling places
along certain definite boundary lines.
At the last county election there
were often long lines awaiting an OPP
portunity to cast ballots at the two
polling places. In one precinct it
took forty hours for the election Of
received three days pay as compen-
satisn. In the other took so long that
the officers received two days pay,
Besides this, the division line by
streets and avenues led to confusion
among those living outside of the city
as TO whether they actually resided
east or west, north or south OF the
imaginary continuation of thise lines
certain. II resulted in a general mix
up and the throwing out of number
OF ballots and continuation Of the
uncertain conditions would lead to
contests and litigation. Hence the
meeting of last night to try and OBJ
viate the difficulties of the voter.
PirtIeville is now a district, the di-
vision line being the railroad running
twelve miles towards bIsbee and
twelve miles towards Ell Paso; all
ranehers living within those bounda

This is but a slight relief, however
for the city vote has increased *

very much larger extent in Sunny

rancAers. It Is estimated that in the
precincts now existing, including
Douglas, Sunnyside and other add
tons and the ranches TO the nortl
and east, excluding Pirtleyille anC
the country included in its judicia
district, that preparations must b
made for a vote from 1900 TO 1900
