If it is really true that Governor Hog gait and Delegate Wickersham have patched up their differences by div ision of the "spoils," all Alsskans have reason to rejoice. While Mr. Wicker sham is the regularly elected delegate to congress, the opinions of the goyer- HOT are bound to receive some consid- eration. Alaska is more interested in securing favorable legislation than in the question of who gets place at the pie counter.

The new law, which provides that those who sell whisky to Indians may be sent up for two years will cause 8 certain class of offenders to mend their ways. Under the old law there were many who liked nothing better than to board with Marshal Shoup for couple of months in the winter time. But now with a good lorg term in the pen staring them in the face it will prob ably look different. We expect that the next term of court will start a num- Der of the old offenders on their way south.

The Judge

The Juneau Dispatch questions the wisdom of the appointment of Thos. R. Lyons to succeed Mr. Gunuison as judge of this district. While admitting the ability of Mir. Lyons, the article suggests that his connection in the ca pacity of attorney with large mum Der of actions now pending will undt him for the position of trial judge. The ar ticle goes still further and states that "Mr. Lyons is too closely allied with certain interests iu the division to avoid suspicion being cast upon him as a truly impartial and neutral judge" E then darkly hints that Mir. Lyons motive for desiring the position Is an ulterior one, and that by allowing bis name to1be mentioned as candidate for the position of judge of Div. No. |, he forfeits the respect of the com munity in which he has lived for the past ten years CT more.
 There are some people i'll Alaska whose talk doesn't sound true aud honest. They will "holler their heads of" against tte appointment of carpet baggers" to fill the official positions in Alaska, yet as soon as the name of a home man is mentioned they begin Co deluge him with black, Slimy mud. We are not attempting to defend Mir. Lyons, but this is not the first instance where the mention of the name of en Alaskan for a government job has brought forth torrents of abuse. The members of the legal fraternity in Alaska average up pretty well, per haps, with the same class in the states -both as to honor and individual ability-yet where is there lawyer in all Southeastern Alaska who would re. eeive the unanimous support of the bar for this or any other position?

As far as we can learn there are no developments in the political field. While the candidates for councilmen are numerous, some are too bashful to announce their candidacy. It is free pitch in, and every voter is entitled to a chance at it. While the editor of the News can only vote for seven names like any other citizen, the columns of the News are open for the announce ment of the names of candidates free of cost. By the way, we wish to suggest that if you want to vote you must register. Don't forget this.

FEDERAL COURT
HAS SHORT SESSION

A brief adjourned session of the
federal court was convened here this
morning by Deputy Clerk Anderson
NJ. Cannon and Chief Deputy United
States Marshal MacSwain. 1t was
merely convened and then adjourned
until the first Monday in December.
As the law providing for term Of
the federal court in Portland went
into effect before Judge Bean was ap-
pointed TO the federal bench, 1t be-
came necessary for the United States
marshal and the clerk of the federal
court for the entire Oregon district
to come to Pendleton in April and
convene the court. This was done
and adjournment was Immediately
taken until the first Monday in June.
thinking that by that time 1t would
be possible for the judge to be ap-
pointed and ready for duty.
Now. however. though Judge Bean
has been appointed and on duty since
the first week in May, he is occupy
ing Judge WOlverton's seat in Port
land and is unable to be here now.
Accordingly the deputy clerk and
deputy marshal came up to adjourn
court until a still later date.

Portland, June 1.-THE great rose
carnival, to which Portlanders have
been looking forward to since the
close of the show last June, was for
mally opened at noon today when
President Taft pressed the button in
Washington.
The blowing of whistles, followed
the click received over the wire from
the Capitol, gave the general signal to
begin the celebration.
The streets were crowded with
thousands who are enjoying the sum
shiny weather, and closely observing
the bright decorations apparent at
every turn. Mayor Lane declared a
civic holiday in honor of the celebra-
tion.
The formal entertainment of the
Japanese naval officers, in Portland
was celebrated by military, civic and
fraternal parade given in honor of

signed.
The carnival is overwhelming the
municipal election, which is also be-
ing held today There is little evil

tion that a new mayor is being elected.
Voting is Light.
The early voting in the municipal
election is reported to be extremely
light, indicating victory for Joseph
Simon, republican, according to his
friends. State Senator Abe independ-
ent, and Judge NJ. G. Munley, demo-
crat, are, the other two candidates.

MAJOR M'fATR|DGE WILL NOT Be
RE|NsTATED As UMAT|LA AGENT

1t will be remembered that she was
formerly financial clerk at the Una
tilla agency. her official head having
been cut off few days before the
agent was let out.
Secretary Ballinger is said to have
made an investigation of both sides
of the McFatridge controversy and
has decided that the major should at
least be transferred as punishment
for his insubordination. Therefore,
while there is universal regret among
the local business men and white
renters, it is generally conceded that
any further effort at this time to Sc
cure the reinstatement of the deposed
agent would be only wasted and the
fight will probably be given up. Nc
Fatridge's worth, as shown by his
work here, was evidently appreciated
In way by the Indian department.
for according to the report from
Washington 1t was In recognition Of
his demonstrated ability that 1t was

BAD CHECK ARTIST BEGU|LEO
LOCAL CLOTHING SALESMEH

Once more the nimble check forger

through his presence in the city and
the amount lost in each instance was
the same-$SS.75.

made purchases at the stores men,

sented check in payment, the check
being drawn in favor Of s. A. Brass,

of them were drawn upon the Ameri-

New Orleans, June Nineteen
persons We're drowned last night when
the pier at the Vaudeville resort on
the north shore of lake Ponchertrain
collapsed. Most of the victims were
women and children and ten bodies
have been recovered. A hundred and
fifty excursionists were on the pier,
which was frail and weakened by the
load, collapsed when the steamer
Margaret bumped into 1t, hurling the
crowd into eight feet of water
Fifteen were seriously injured and
forty slightly injured. A special grand
jury was called today TO fix the res
possibility for the accident. The
wharf was the property of the New
Orleans and St. Tammany railroad.
II is considered possible that the
owners of the steamer caused the col
lapse and they may be indicted, as
witnesses declare that the vessel was
coming full speed when it struck the
wharf
A hundred of fhe four hundred on
the pier were thrown into the water
Quick action on the part of those
handling the boats, saved many more
from drowning.
Twenty are Drowned.
Late advices state that twenty were
killed as the result of the collapse.

gan the search for the stranger.
The man who passed the checks Is
described as being Of middle age,
rather slim, rather dark in COM
plexion. and when he was here Satur-
day he wore dark suit Of clothes.
After making some purchases the
fellow would offer his check in pay
ment, and so well did he work the
game that in none Of the three stores
named above was he suspected Of
being a crook. As he received his
change in cash, the stores are losers
in actual cash as well as in merchan-
disc.
At the Boston store the fellow also
tried to do business. but something in
his manner aroused the suspicion OF
Gary Taylor and the latter declined
to accept his check. When ques-
toned by Mr.. Taylor the fellow said
he was a painter. but when pinned
down to closer details he was lacking,
and this fact caused the salesman to
become suspicious.
