It is a short sighted proprietor Of a
summer resort who does not assist the
game wardens in carrying out their du-
tics in every way in his power. Some
Of the resort men who have sided with
the violators of the game laws will
wake up to their mistake some day and
realize that the game wardens are their
best friends and that the work they
are doing is the surest guarantee Of
the future success of the resorts.

There is reason and justice in the
demands of the county boards for a
more equitable division of the reven-
ues raised by the Inheritance taxes and
it is expected that the claims of the
counties viii be recognized by the next
legislature. It is not fair that the
counties in which the estates are pro-
bated should receive little more from
these taxes than it costs the counties
to collect them and if the state is to
take all the revenues it should at least
bear the costs of collection. Under
the present law 95 per cent of these
taxes is paid to the state treasury and
only five per cent less the cost of col
lection goes to the counties. The coun-
ty boards ask that the state take 10
per cent and that 80 per cent be paid
to the counties which would be a fair
or arrangement than the present one.

A good share of the time of the Cir.

divorce actions at this term and the
jurymen will get an occasional day off
while these cases are being tried which
will doubtless be appreciated. There

service on a jury, but any man who
has tried it can understand why so
many men try to evade service.

Tt is all right and very commendable
for any member of the Council to tho
roughly investigate any measure he
does not understand that comes before
that body and to take away reasonable
amount of time to make his investi-
cation in, but the action of the Coun-
Gil on the park commission ordinance
does not indicate that the aldermen
who control the Council are any too
favorably disposed towards that meas
ure. It looks at present as if the men
who want the plan tried in this city
will have to do more work in pushing
it than has been done so far to get
the ordinance through the Council.

THE HIGHER CIVILIZATION

The progress of the higher civiliza- tion and the consequent uplifting of man are finely typified by the debate between Congressman Hefin and a colored gentleman on a street car platform in the national capital con cerning the propricty of the absorp- tion of whiskey by the colorcd citizen with the bottom of the bottle nearthe congressman face. The outcome of the discussion was the lodgment of a bullet in the ncgro's head and anoth- CT in the anatomy of a white man who was careless enough to be in the range of fire while the Alabama statesman sought to emphasize moral admonition with gun.
 The Interesting feature of the cpl sodc is the evolution it illustrates in southern statesmen and citizens lack ing the advantage of the grandfather clause. A few years ago most south ern congressman were glad to drink whiskey from bottle regardless of their surroundings. A great many of them learned to drink it from q tug and perhaps drink it that way yet when electioneering in the backwoods. Also 1t is very recent form for n col orcd gentleman to curse southern statesman to his face. Since Teddy got half nelson on the octopus old things seem to be passing away and all things are becoming new.
 Here is sample of stage business in real life fit for melodrama. A negro drinks whiskcy from bottle on street car. A southern politician becomes indignant and delivers lec- ture on temperance and etiquette in- stead of merely kicking the offender on the solar plcXus and off the car without remarks, on the ante-bellum system. The negro boldly answers the chiding in profane terms. Only then does the statesman relapse into barbarism and begin to shoot, and he gets arrested for 1t.
 One thing is lacking to fine cli- max. The statesman and his gun, the colored gentleman and his razor should have been locked in room to finish the argument. Alabama has other statesmen who yearn to stand up for her in congress.

Orca Group Again Sold.

The Cordova Copper Company's well knewn Shepard or Crca group, comprising 22 claims situated 1 1-2 miles northeast of CordoVa on the Orca shore line, was resold last week to New York parties for S25O, ,0O0. It is said on good authority that the sale was made to the Guggenheims through the instrumentality of J. D. Meen- ach, of the Ellamar Mining Company. This property was located several years ago and was owned originally by Jack Shepard and associates, of Orca. Later it passed into the hands of the Cordova Copper Company, an organization formed for the purpose by Milo Kelly of this city. Among those well known here who are effec- ted by the sale are Ed. l.. Davies, Tacoma, Prescott Sawyer, Tacoma, Bert Carvey, Valdez, and the Kelly Brothers of this city. Wm. N. Arm strong who was formerly interested in the property lately disposed of his holdings to Messrs. Sawyer and Dav- ies.

JUGGLING WITH RAILROADS

It may or may not be true that E. c. Hawkins has prevailed in his con tention that railroad to the interior from this part of Alaska should build from Valdez and it is quite as uncer- tain whether or not the Guggenheims are still merely juggling with railroad building in the territory, but it is sure that whenever anybody builds a line to the great copper fields of Gen. tral Alaska it will start from Valdez. Nature fixed this fact and her decrees are unalterable.
 Ragtime railroad work has so far been the order of the day along the southern coast and it may continue until the men who furnish the capital get sense enough to place both loca- tion and construction in control of men who know enough about the country to locate lines where they will do the most good and then pro- ceed with the building according to established methods. When capital gets ready to do that the rails will be laid from Valdez to the copper fields or the Panama, or both, over shorter and easier route than can be found from any other port.
 Within two years two starts have been made from Cordova and one from Katalla. Cordova has been abandoned once and Katalla practi- nnl hn,, NE road empirics are so unaccountable that an abandonment is no guaranty that the fiddlcrs will not begin again just where they left off, so nobody the Kayak coal fields will or will not build from either place. 1t seems necessary that one or the other should get the coal road.
 But the railroad to the interior is a different proposition. From either Katalla or Cordova to any great min ing district now known or suspected the distance is much farther than from Valdez, with stupcndous obsta- cles to construction and operation that would be avoided by road from this port. Engineers and all intcli- gent mon familiar with the country agree upon this. The lines projected from lower coast points up the Cop per river are hot air lines dreamed of by men who do their locating OH the map without seeing the country, and when they meet the S0-mile Zcphyrs drifting down the river they will vaporizc with celcrity.

ROOSEVELT SCORED
 [. BY W. ]. HAYWOOD
Man Acquitted of Murder of Stuenenburg Addresses
 Chicago Socialists.

Chicago, March 31-W. ID. Hay wood, the officer of the Western Fed eration of Miners, acquitted q few months ago of the murder of former Governor Steunenburg of Idaho, in an impassioned address before q meeting of socialists last night bitterly de- nounced President Roosevelt, and Governor Gooding of Idaho. The meeting was largely attended and the speakers remarks were loudly cheered.
 Haywood declared that the order sending soldiers to Fairbanks, Alas ka, and to Treadwell, Alaska, was an outrage and showed the tendency of the President toward monarchal form of government. That the soldiers were not sent to Fairbanks is, in the opinion of the speaker, no mitigation of the wrong. Haywood declared that the use of soldiers to intimidate the unions will eventually create such sentiment that the political aspira- tions of the Republicans and the Dem- ocrats will meet with defeat at the hands of the socialists. The meeting passed a resolution'of protest against further use of soldiers in such cases. The use of bombs was declared to be only the natural result of the de- luded and downtrodden attempting to obtain their rights.

NAVIGATION AIDS F 0N ALASKA COAST
AcetyIene Lights on Buoys Would Give Safety Along
 Dangerous Shroes.
(From the Tacoma Ledgcr)

Until the United States government decides where. lighthouses are need ed along the Alaskan coast, and un- til these necessary aids to navigation are completed and in use, it has been suggested that the government fur nish temporary relief at once by es- tablishing automatic acetylene gas beacons. The type adopted should be the combined gas light and whist ling buoy.
 This is the plan proposed by Capt J. C. Downing of tn, steamer Port land, of the Alaska Coast company. Capt. Downing is an old trader to the north and knows the entire coast as far west as the Aleutians like q book
 From the British Columbia line in Dixon entrance, to Unimak pass, in longitude 165 west, the United States government has done practically nothing to aid shipping. There is good light now at Unimak, and there are two buoys in Prince William sound. A few lights have been es- tablished on the inside passage to Skagway.
 Some time ago the government ap- propriated $125, ,O00 to establish a light hous at Cape Hinchinbrook, atthe en- trance to Prince William sound. On this dangerous cliff one of the steam CTS running from Puget sound was wrecked over two years ago. An Astoria firm submitted the lowest bid $l05, ,000, but the work has not been started. In the meantime vessels running to Valdez arc in as great danger as if the government had re- fused to build the lighthouse.
 Captain Downing's idea is this :: Without delay or red tape, have the government place at several points where lights are imperative, the au- tomatic buoys. Comparatively, these aids are cheap and run with little ex- pense and attention. This style of light has been found of great use on the British Columbia side. After sev- eral of the most dangerous points have been thus temporarily lighted, government officers can carefully go over the coast and decide where per manent lights should be established, While the lighthouses are being con- structed, the automatic buoys will be furnishing warning to shipping and probably preventing disaster.
 The automatic buoy is made in a number of designs. It is the patent of company in Ottawa and the Brit ish Columbia government has pur- 1 chased large number of the beacons. One light recently established on Swiftsure Bank, at the entrance to the strait of Juan de Fuca, is of this type. These buoys are of vary ing heights. They are equipped with large tanks which hold the ingredi- ents for making acctylcnc gas and they burn continuously for from six to nine months. The automatic whis- tie is op eratcd by the action of the water.
