COMMODORE VISITS CREEK

Commodore Sellendar, who is now
enjoying a brief recreation period
while awaiting the opening of naviga-
ton, spent few days on the creeks
this week to see for himself how his
mining interests were being attended
to by his representatives. He returned
home on Wednesday and expressed
himself as being much pleased with af-
fairs on his property.
The Commodore was accompanied on
his meanderings, by Harry Stoves, the
"wierd warbler of the wildwood"

The scene has changed.

Our dispatches Of last week
contained an article from Fair
banks to the effect that Clarence
Fl. Hamshaw had arrived in that
city armed, apparently, with one
of the numerous power Of at
torney" instruments from f. G.
Manley-of which Marley is said
to be very prolific, having be-
slowed various kinds for various
services on numerous and divers
persons, of both feminine and
masculine genders.
Our correspondent stated that
Mr.. Hamshaw intended to super
intend the operations on Man
ley's mining ground on Thanks
giving during the present season
in a most conservative manner.
Credence was given to the re-
port when Dave Curry arrived in
the Springs last Saturday from
Thanksgiving, where he had
been for a couple Of weeks over
seeing some necessary spring
work. and stated mot too seri
ously) that he had been fired. .

Little could be learned Of the
way things were heading" until
shortly after the arrival of the
up river mail atnoon on Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Curry seemed to, get
busy all at once. Hurry-up or
ders for wagonloads Of supplies
we're placed with merchants, men
were engaged for the different
departments of q well-regulated
mining outfit, and on Thursday
morning three heavily laden
freight wagons slowly wendell
their way to the scene of awak-
ened activity.
The ground is to be worked
under the firm name of Curry &
Aitken : composed of David
Curry and Thomas Aitken. Mr..
Curry is recognized wherever
known as being one OF the best
managers OF placer diggings to
be found anywhere. He has had

years Of experience in California,
and has operated successfully in
different parts of South America.
He was pioneer in the Klondike
country, and managed some Of
the biggest outfits in that famous
camp. Tom Aitken has for sew
eral years been one of the most
successful miners on Cleary
creek, where he made big money
on Manley's discovery claim.
And there you are.
The hour for going to press
has arrived, but Mr.. Hamshaw
is not in sight nor does his
power of attorney" seem to be
working hereabouts.

PARDON RULES
NOTHING DOING ALONG CERTAIN
LINES JUST PRIOR TO
|, ELECTIONS.

FRANKFORT, ", Sept 9.-Politles
must play no part in the granting OF
applications for pardons or restora-
lions of citizenship, Gov. Wilson says,
and he has compiled a new set OF
rules for applications in pardon cases,
which he is sending out over the
state. The governor says that no APP
plication for restoration of citizenship
will be considered within two months
before a general or primary election
This was done to stop the practice OF
having men restored to citizenship in
order that their votes can be counted
The governor says he will not con
slider the political affiliation OF the
man for whom a pardon is asked or OF
the men asking for the pardon.

.FIALA HAS A WORD TO SAY
Thinks Peary clirFed Time OF The
Record on Eis Return Trip.
Thirty-five Miles Per Day Made.
Explanation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Peary.
Cook factionists in this city rested on
their oars Thursday pending the pub
LEGATION of further details from their
leaders: The feelings of Cooks sup
porters toward Commander Peary
have not softened any, however. and
they are making extensive prepare
tions to take up the cudgel in defense
CT the Brooklyn doctor.
Anthony Fiala, the Actic explorer,
thinks that Peary's remarkable speed
over the ice is the most marvellous bit
of news that has come out of the froz-
en- north since Cook startled the world
with his announcement of the discov-
cry Of the pole
Commander Peary," said Fiala, has
accomplished feat in Arctic travel
that is astonishing He must have
made thirty-five miles day for many
days-a feat that would have been
possible only on smooth ice. It's a
story that takes the breath away.
His return speed seems to have
been more wonderful than the speed
that he maintained on the dash up.
He left the North Pole ON April Z and
/ reached Cape Columbia on April %,
distance of about 400 miles as the
crows fly, and in that shifting ice,
with the detours necessary to avoid
obstacles, a considerably greater dis
lance would have to be covered. In
the sixteen days march from the pole
to Cape Columbia he must have aver
aged more than thirty-one miles a
day and with the open leads that he
had to contend with and the loss of
time they caused he would have been
Obliged to have made the phenomenal
speed of forty miles many a day.
"There is one way to account for 1t
which would explain DR.. Cooks sue
cess as WELL DIR. Cook says he saw
Hand to the west and north at about
the 87th parallel. DR.. Cook also pass
ed ice which seemed to him like gla'
cier ice, and which may have possibly
bee grounded foes in shoal water.
Between these grounded foes on
the east and archipelago of islands
say an the west, and the land to the
south there would have been a great
triangle in this polar basis of posi-
bly, immovable ice-ice that had not
moved all winter, and so there would
be a remarkable absence of pressure
ridges and the rough moving ice that
bothered other explorers. In fact
NEITHER DR.. Cook or Peary mention
rough ice. These open lanes Their
would be simply fisures in the Ice
caused by tidal action"
Mr.. Ffala added that Peary's report
had gone long way toward substan
tiating DR.. Cooks story of the speed
that he made over the ice.
Capt. John S. Osbon, secretary O
the Arctic Club of America, declared
Thursday that there was nothing II
Peary's statement that had shaken hi
faith in Cooks achievement.
81 believe as firmly today as | eve
did" said he, "that Cook was the mrs
discoverer of the pole.'

STYLES THINKS new CHARTER
WILL SOLVE DIFFICULTIES

IT think these investigations by
the council all go to show the ad-
vantage the city might gain by
adopting the new charter and
starting new with a small body
of men that could devote their
entire time to devising a system
for conducting the city's business
satisfactorily" said City Attorney
Judge Stiles today.
The city attorney is of the opin-
ion that's most of the officials will
be found to be irregular" in lit
tie technical things. In fact, be-
fore the city council gets far into
the matter it will bump up against
the old charter, showing that the
council itself is violently "irreg-
ular" in the important matter of
spending city money. Every coun-
Gil night it spends thousands of
dollars by resolution, when the
charter expressly provides that
no money shall be paid out EXCEPT
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-09-21

on the passage of an ordinance.
The resolution, however, an
swers just as well and saves time.
The city attorney, himself, has
to receive money and pay it out
to run the business of his office.
The county clerk won't even let
him file suit without paying the
filing fee in advance in cash. No
warrant goes, and the city has
to take the money up there. The
treasurer won't go along every
time the attorneys want to file
case. so the city attorney has to be
to keep things moving
Such cases exist in nearly ali
the city offices. Judge Stiles be-
lieves if the new charter is adopt
ed five good men might be select
ed who would get together and
solve the numerous difficulties
that beset the city officials under
the present charter, and evolve
system that would work more
simply and effectively.
