CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS.

,Iohnson's nomination in spite OF
himself is, however, an open confes-
sion that he is the only man in the
state with whom the democratic party
can even hope to, beat jacobson, says
The 81. Paul Pioneer Press. And his
hesitation, as well as that of his
friends, has unquestionably arisen from
the certainty that even if Jacobson
should not beat him he will cut down
the johnson vote to so small ma
iority as to ruin Johnson'S prestige as
vote getter. The fact is, however
that not only is the Johnson majority
likely to be cut down but. it Is more
than likely To be converted into a
jacobson majority. For Governor John
son is. not face to face, "a IN 1901
with republican party split and torn
: by a Dunn Collins Kilkenny cat fight.
He is face to face with republican
party united, hopeful and determined
to win. His opponent is not a candi-
date who had made bitter enemies be-
fore the convention and who is likely
to make enemies during the campaign
He is, on the contrary, man whom
every one i'm the state respects and
honors whether he agrees with his
views or not, a man who has the con-
iidencc of the people and their admira-
tion in as great a measure as any re-
publican that has ever been named for
ali elective Office.
Nor has Governor Johnson to encoun-
ter this year man who Is COMPARE
lively unknown to the people of the
state He has to do battle with one
home and at every gathering place in
city, village or country for a dozen
years.
Two years ago, as an analysis of the
Johnson and Cole votes will show
Johnsons majority of $4,000 represented
only an increase of some 10000 votes
over his vote in 1904, the rest of it
being accounted for by falling off
of $4,000 in the republican vote. Those
10000 voters will not stay at home
when they have chance to vote for
Jacobson. They will be at the polls
not only to vote for him but to vote
for Taft, whose popularity in thir
state is such that he is not unlikely Ia
sweep the state as Roosevelt did The

publican candidate is the nominee not

Dated this stf day of August, zoos
United States Engineer Office, st
Paul, Mimi. April ID, 1908. Respect
fully returned to the chief of engineers
In its original condition the main chan
mel OF the Minnesota river ut Mankat1
was adjacent to the right bank. The dis,
lance between the low water banks was
about 800 feet. of which 200 feet
next the right bank was occupied by
the main channel, $50 feet by a low
island, and fifty, feet by narrow
channel adjacent to the left bank. Ihe
high water section of the river was
about 1000 feet wide ,p to height 81
sixteen feet above mean low water
When the river rose above the sixteen
foot plane it had an extreme high wa
ter channel of about mile in width
between the bluffs bounding the river
bottom.
This condition of affairs lasted until
a roadway bridge was constructed be-
tween Mankato and North Mankato in
1880. BY the approaches to this bridge
the river section was reduced to u
width of 525 feet for high stages, the
only further available outlet under ex-
IRENE food conditions being through the
village Of North Mankato which is
from fourteen to sixteen feet above
mean low water. Some of ne village
streets have been raised above food
level, but whenever the river rises TO
a sixteen foot plane most of the town
is submerged.
The bridge in question was con-
strueted with draw opening which in
stead Of being placed over the main

RICH GOLD STRIKE
IN ALASKA DISTRICT
Pans Are Running as High as SIS
and Excitement Is High Steam
er Brings Big Cargo of
Gold.

Seattle, Wash, June 24.-Pans run
ming from So to SIS is the report
which comes from the lnnoko region,
in Alaska, the scene of a strike last
spring which drew thousands OF men
north. James II. Rogers. we'll
known Alaskan, who arrived from the
north, says that no one Is coming out
but that 500 men from Fairbanks had
left the latter camp when he sailed
from there. Letters which came from
the Innoko told men to drop every
thing in the Tanana and go to the In
noko. Three steamers, the Luella,
Delta and Florence s., were sold out
OF both freight and passenger accom-
modations.
Many prominent business men OF
Fairbanks are rushing TO the new
camp and taking in great quantities
of supplies. The fact that no one Is
coming out OF the country lends
weight to the news which comes out
that the camp Is a good one.
Bringing in the neighborhood OF
s2,0OO,OO0, the steamship City OF Sc
attic, which arrived from Skagway,
lays claim TO being the first treasure
ship of the year. Most OF the dust
was consigned to the banking insti-
tutiOns, but much Of 1t was brought
down by individuals.
SO accustomed are the people of
Seattle to hearing of big gold ship
ments that the arrival Of the Seattle
created no great storm. yet the steam
er brought more gold yesterday than
was brought down on the Portland in
1897 from the Klondike, and which at
that time electrified the world.
On the way up to the Yukon the
passengers report passing hundreds OF
small boats headed down stream. Not
since the Klondike boom has there
been such rush for the interior. 1t
was estimated by James A. Rogers.
traffic manager OF the Tanana Valley |
railways, that S2,O0O,OO0 had been
washed up when he left Fairbanks
May 26, but the money had not ar
rived from the creeks. .

STATE FUNDS PAID
DEBTS OF KING
Revelation That Money Was Misused
Stirs Big Storm.

Lisbon, June PA series of
stormy debates in the Portuguese Par
Lament over the financial advances
to the royal family has disclosed the
fact that the majority of the funds
advanced to the late King Carlos went
to lift the mortgages which King
Luiz had placed upon the Braganza
estates before his death. Finance
Minister Espresuira has been forced
to admit that, while minister Of III
nance in the Castro cabinet, l90i-e5,
he advanced much money for this
purpose on the solemn promise of
King Carlos to refund in annual in
stallments from the revenue of the
estate.
AS none of the money amounting to
100000, has ever appeared in the
governments financial statements. the
Republicans and the other opposition
parties charge that for several years
past the governments statements
have been nothing more than a farce.
Strong language has been used in
the denunciation of Minister Espre-
sulra. who was termed a public pill
ferer. The Republicans, supported
by the independent newspapers, de-
mand the sale of the Braganza estates
in order that the treasury may be re-
imbursed.

CABINET OFFICERS
ARE WORRYING
as to Who VIII Hold Down
the Government This Summer.

Washington, June 24-Who will sit
on the lid" in Washington during
the summer, while the president is
taking rest and recreation at oyster
Bay? None of the cabinet officials
want the job, and so far 1t has been
continual performance of side-step-
ing. Even when the president left
for his Long Island home only a ten
tative plan for the dog days watch
had been determined.
Secretary Root will be gone all
summer. Assistant Secretary of State
Bacon will be the lid sitter in the
state department most of The sum-
mer.
Attorney General Bonaparte will
keep out of Washington as much as
possible.
Secretary Metcalf is now on his way
to California to spend the summer.
Postmaster General Meyer will go
tt the ST. Lawrence TO fish.
Secretary Garfield is in Hawaii.
Secretary CortelyOu will have a
quiet summer, probably on Long Is
land.
Secretary Wilson will go to his Iowa
farm.
Secretary Wright Will hardly be
eligible to keeping the big lid down
this summer. Secretary Strauss has
taken a seat on the lid and will have
this throne of honor until some of the
other members consent 10 relieve him.

His Troubles Come Thick.


Caracas, June 24.-Jacob sleeper
who has been acting as charge DAFT
faires since the departure of the Am
erican minister. w. w, Russell and
Lieut.. r. A. Ruggles, the military at
tache, withdrew from the legation at
Caracas on Saturday and proceeded to
Porto Cabello. The interests of the
United States were placed in charge
OF the Brazilian legation as the repre-.
sentatives of the European nations
are having considerable friction with
President Castro's government. John
Brewer, American consular agent, re-
mains here in charge of the archives.
President Castro returned here sud-
denly few days ago after long abb
sence in the Interior and his arrival
attracted much attention. All kinds
of rumors are current and the with
drawal of the representatives of the
United States Is not quite understood
by Venezuelans. 1t Is probable, too,
that there will be an early rupture
with Holland and there are reports
that revolution against the admin
istration of being organized in Colom-
bo. AS matters now stand the United
States, France and Columbia prac-
tically have no relations with Vene-
zuela. Great Britain and Holland have
several questions nending with the
government Germany alone has no
dispute.
