every man, woman and child within

A public meeting should be called at

rangements completed for this
Fourth OF July celebration.
The event is one OF Importance
and it's nearly related to the flag on

those men who achieved for us our
independence. All these things must
be kept in remembrance II ye you'd

ALASKA,S NEW GOVERNOR

Walter A. Clark, a correspondent
Of the New York Sun and the Seattle
Post-lntelligencer at the National
capitol has been nominated by Presi-
dent Taft as Governor of Alaska to
succeed Governor Hoggatt, resigned.
Governor Hoggatt has been in office
three years and during that time he
has shown his honesty by enforcing
the laws and by this means gained
the enmity Of those who are either
law breakers or defenders Of this
class. Among those who have fought
him bitterly is the gambling element
OF the territory. This class of Of
tenders against the law have been
kept in check for three years and it
now remains to be seen what Govern
or Clark will do. 1t Is said that re-
forms never go backward and if this
be true the gambling and dance
house element of the big north coun-
try viii gain nothing by Governor
Hoggatt's resignation.
Governor Clark is one of the best
posted men on Alaska affairs in the
states. He has made many trips
north and is personally acquainted
with the business men in nearly all of
the towns in Alaska. It is under
stood that President Taft Is very
anxious to do all that he can to aid
In the development of the Northern
Territory and to bring this about 1t
Is necessary to arrange conflicting in
forests and fully believes Mr.. Clark |
'an do this. It is barely possible that
he president is not mistaken re-
;arding what can be done for Alaska,
'ut experience in the past proves
hat the new governor will have n
light on his hands inside of six
months, History will bear out this
oncluslon for there has never been
governor or Judge in Alaska who
as not had to go through a storm
I public censure. If the president
an change the leopard's spots he can
ope to harmonize public interests

THE SEAL MARAUDERS

The sneaking Japanese sealers are
at their usual work on the Alaska
coast, A cablegram received at
Seattle from Cordova, Alaska, SAYS
that while enroute from juneau to
that place on the Steamer Portland.
j, X. Willis, collector of customs for
Alaska warned Japanese sealing
schooner to leave the restricted fish
Ing limits. The sealer was sighted
in Yakuta Bay Collector Willis
boarded the vessel and found It to be
the Ma2a Maru with crew of SO
men. The captain claimed he had
put In for water, hut sealing imple-
ments were found on board and he
was given six hours to put to sea
under penalty of seizure. Collector
Willis thinks that the sealer was
waiting for the big herd of seals now
going up the Alaska coast This is
the second Japanese schooner found
within the restricted fishing limits
this spring.
This sort OF thing has been going
ON for many years and IN spite of
strict watch kept along the Alaskan
coast the Japanese rrcobooters con.
tinuo to do thriving business In
capturing seals In American waters
United States Collector WINS is
every effort to strictly en-
force the law but the government at
WASHINGTON seems to fear irritation
with Japan and hesiRtcs TO seize
Japanese vessel unless the outrage
ON the face Of It is an open violation
OF laws that connot he denied

GOVERNMENT IRRIGATION.

II Is the plan of the irrigation
committee of the United States SEN
ate to make trip TO the govern
ment irrigation projects and much
time will be devoted to investigating
what has been done, is now under
way and what will be done In the
future at all the places where irri-
cation has been undertaken. The
plan Is to start on the trip soon
after the adjournment Of congress.
The itinerary has been made up for
the entire trip and It will consume
from August 81 until the last days
Of October
The committee will give Oregon a
fair share OF attention. II will ar
rive in Portland on September 22
and VIII carefully examine a.. the
government projects in this state.
The party will pass throug Grants
Pass and an effort must be made
to have them stop over at this
point II not for a whole day at least
Tor few hours. 1t is certainly very
gratifying to have these members Of
the senate visit the Northwest coast
and become acquainted with the
needs and necessities as well as con
ditlons existing in this section
One Of the most important things
undertaken by congress for many
years Is the development of irrigation
and It's results are far reaching in
many respects. 1t brings prosperity
to many sections In numerous states
by providing homes for thousands of |
people and what is of very great i'm
portance, II solves problems along
the line OF irrigation which could not
be undertaken by private individuals
Every member Of the senate commit
tee should be proud Of the high
honor of being able to confer lasting
benefits on the great West and the
enterprlsing American citizens who
are adding 30 much to the prosper
ity and fame of the great republic.

train of accidents and when the
smoke OF the day is cleared up the
newspapers Will have chronicled 500

This was the story of the last Fourth
OF July and there Is no reason TO be-
lieye that the coming fourth will be
less destructive TO human life.
Some OF the newspapers are call

RIVER MEN HAVE THEIR SAY.
Congress Closes After
Adopting Resolutions.

Washington, ID. c., Dec 1.-THE
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
closed its sessions, after electing JOS
eph H. Rensdell, Louisiana, as pres
ident; Captain j. r. Ellison, of Cincin-
natl, secretary-treasurer, and John A.
Fox. of Arkansas, special director
Professor Emory r. johnson, of the
University of Pennsylvania, special
representative of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress with the Ma
ticnal Waterways Commission on its
European trip, made short report of
his inspection of European waterways.
The resolution adopted make an APP
peal to Congress for an appropriation
OF S50,000000 for river and harbor
work and $4,000, 900 annually for 10
years thereafter; express the belief
that the rivers and harbors bill should
be placed on a equal footing with the
other great appropriation bills and
condemn what is declared to be the
present method of appropriation
whereby the river and harbor bill car
rles only what may remain after the
other budgets have been authorized
Il is declared that unless the water
ways OF the United States are so i'm
proved as to provide the proper trans
portation facilities this country cannot
hope to increase its domestic COM
merce, or take advantage of the open
ing OF the Panama canal. The resolu-
ton suggests the creation of bureau
81 public works with cabinet officer
at its head, which department should
have charge of river and harbor i'm
proyement and other work of SINH
lar character.

result of the inquiry Of the West vir-
ginia State Bcard Of Regents into the
hazing OF Miss Matte Taylor, a stu
dent at the Fairnont Normal School,
one young woman teacher in that
school has been denied the privileges
of the girls hall and six young women
students are denied many privileges
for the remainder CT the term. Miss
Taylor reported, few days ago, that
she had been given an ice cold bath
and that her body had been painted

INTERESTING ITEMS

Live Correspondent at the Springs
The Doings There.

Berkeley Springs, Dec. 11.-Mr,
VIM. Barker, while logging on the
mountain Friday morning for Mr..
Daniel Cornelius, met with a very
painful accident. A big heavy log
crashing against another crushed one
of his ankles between the two logs
and it is feared that amputation will
be necessary. Mr.. Barker was team
ster for Company l., First w. Va. Reg
iment in the Spanish-American war
and is now drawing a pension of So
for an accident which beiell him dur
ing the service.
The heavy wind Thursday night
blew some trees over the electric
light wires and put the Cacapon Pow
err Co lights out of commission for a
time. Shortly after the lights Wen
out some marauder tri to get into
Squire Coughlan's house, but in so
doing, fell over a chair On the porch,
which burst hole in the wire door
and aroused the inmates and the fell
low hastily left.
1T was reported here Thursday even
ing that there had been a big wreck
on the Wabash road in the tunnel
near Orleans Roads, and that several
men had been killed. But later reports
from nearby and eye-witnesses say
that the work train and freight had
a headon collision, but that only two
trainmeR were slightly hurt.
The Cacapon Power Company has
just closed deal with Mr.. William
Crosfield for five-acre lot adjoining

Making Pies For Sale.

At one of the largest pie-making es-
adjustments in this country it Is said
that on an average thirty-one pies per
minute are turned out, and the nightly
capacity cf the plant is 10000 pies.
Under the methods In vogue about a
short time ago this would require the
services of from so to 100 bakers; but
the work is now done by a much
smaller number, owing to the intr1.
duction OF machinery. The trimming
Of the pies was formerly an operation
which required the services OF many
persons, but a machine has been re.
Gently devised by which the task Is
done almost automatically. Indeed, ii
is only necessary b. have attendance
to feed the pies to the machine and
to take them away again. The actual
baking is done in rotary ovens, which
are operated by single man, and
few of these machines will look
after the product of large place

RECENT LEGAL OPINIONS OF INTEREST

/ signed deliberately knowing II to con-
tain such statement. dispensed with
an exact following OF the statutory
form of oath The Minnesota Su-
preme court decided that. the par
ticular tormality never having been
regarded as important, the essential
thing was that the party taking tho
oath should so through some deciara-
ton or formality before the officer
which indicates to him that the an
pellant consciously asserts or affirms
the truth of the fact 10 which he testi-
lies Conviction affirmed.
Power to Prohibit Purchasers From
Intoxicated Seller.
An ordinance prohibiting junk DEAF
ers from purchasing from intoxicated
persons was attacked in Grossman vs..
City of indianapolis, So Northeastern
Reporter, 9i5. as being an undue re-
stralnt OF trade. The Indiana SUI
pfeme court, upholding the ordinance,
remarked that the asserted right Of a
sober man to buy OF another, while In
state of intoxication, property which
an ungovernable and Unsuitable appe.
tite may have prompted him to steal.
and would likely induce him to sacri.
fee on suy terms. is so abhorrent to
sense e fair dealing as to merit
little consideration in a court of equi-
~. The special inclusion In city
charters OF power TO legislate against
such conduct Is to enable them to
make reasonable regulations rather
than to restrict that power.
Punishment of Habitual Criminals.
The constitutionality OF the law pro-
yiding increased penalties for habitual
criminals were assailed In State VS..
Pitre, 1903 Pacific Reporter. 81. The
Washington Supreme court decided
that while the hahitual criminal stat
ute was thing Of modern creation,
and there are many rules OF law
which may seem inconsistent with Its
purpose and the procedure adopted to
compass II. It is nevertheless sound
In principle and sustained by reason.
Aside from the offender and his vic
tim, there is always another party
concerned in every crime committed
the state--and It does no violence
to any constitutional guaranty for the
state to rid itself of depravity when
It's efforts to reform have failed The
act Is not ex post facto It does not
deny the right of trial by jury. II
does not put the offender twice in
jeopardy. 1t does not infiict double
punishment for the same offense, or
inhict a cruel or unusual punishment,
or impose penalty for crime com
mitted outside of the state. 1t merely
provides an increased punishment for
the last offense. The spirit OF the
law Is in keeping with the acknowi-
edged power of the legislature to pro-
vide a minimum and maximum term
within which the trial court may ex-
ercise its discretion, as 1t should al
ways, the character OF the person as
we'll as the probability OF resorma-
ton; or the legislature may take
away all discretion and fix penalty
absolute.
