Our delegate in congress has introduced bill with the object of securing sort of autonomy for Alaska The bill is no perfect than other human documents but it framed by the gods a6 endorsed by Jupiter the yokebowed sycophants who grove at the feet of imported authority would denounce it and fondly cling to the beggarly political charity doed out from throne three thousand miles away Aside from establishing few fund.- amenta applicable to all places alike congress has moral right frame single law for the government of Alaska How senator from South Carolina who can't make decent for his state vote ntelligenty question involving the fisheries mining land conditions of Aaska Why should the trusbom representatives from New England be suppcated, though they gods, every time municipality up here wants to correct it's sys tenn of taxation? What does Georgia know about the parc uar conditions of the laborers in the Norland! She can't govern her own niggers.

cotinue to depend for their support directly upon Uncle Sam as some 50 per cent of the monies recieved from saloons is now used for their mainten- ance.
 The dispatches which reached Seat u @ yesterday and the proceeding day do not include any statesment as to the powers of such legislature in the matter of mining laws changes and until the arrival of such intelligence it would be almost absurd to erter into discussion of the bills merits, for bove and beyond all questions lela- Ing to Alaska the laws governing mining come first.
 That radical changes are needed in the mining laws no one could or would deny, and that no one is better qualified to frame such changes as the Alaskans goes without saying. Upon the powers given to the local legisla- ture in that matter will depned the nature of the road over which the measure must travel. Everyone hopes it will be smooth, for no one believes that a country which is populated by the very best men and women should be compelled to accept what outsiders are pleased to dole from time to time and grudgingly.
 It looks like a joke, anyhow, if not an impertinent one, to expect the men of the North to keep digging and take with thanks whatever they get from men who are in no way superior. A. Y. P. Daily News

"Times are awful dull," said a local business man a couple of days ago, when he was asked to contribute to the chamber of commerce. "I have never known such dull times in all the years I have been in Juneau. don't see how l can spare three dol lars.''
 Times may be dull for this particu, lar businessman. If they are it is small wonder. Who ever knew pess- mist to prosper? Business is much as one looks at it. If you have perpetual grouch and always look on the dark side of things times would not be good if you were making million dollars a minute. The worst of it too, is that man making utterances like the above hurts not only himself. That could be borne with. But it creates a false impression in the minds of every one who hears such talk. If man will say such things to his fellow citi- zen, its dollars to marbles he says them to outsiders with whom he deals.
 Buck up. Times are never so bad as they might be and here in Juneau times are very good indeed. Forget the pessimistc grouch. Cultivate smile. Loosen up in good cause. We'll all be dead some day and most of us won't have much use fer our money when we are dead. Juneau Dispatch.

Alaska has new governor, Mr. W. E. Clark. The selection of a news paper man for this position has much to recommend it. Our 'non-c -contigous continental possession" is governed by a peculiar system having judicial and executive but not legislative department. Practically the Federal Judges are the ruling powers, and Mr. Edward E. Cushman, who took the oath as Judge of the Third Divi- sion of the Federal Court of Alaska at Tacoma June 6, will have more actual power than Mr. Clark. The duties of ths Governor of Alaska are varied. Perhaps his most important function is to make recommendations to the Washington government. The force of these depends on his charac- ter and standing, and the care with which he studies the situation. We are glad to assure our Alaskan friends that Mir. Clrak has, among his asso- ciates, high reputation for character and ability. As trained newspaper writer, familiar with affairs at Wash ington, he should be peculiarly able to determine the drift of local opinion regarding the needs of the territory, and to command the support necessary to the adoption of his recommenda- tions. Alaska has been often shabbily treated at Washington, but we hope better times are in store. -Minipg and Scientific Press.

A com pany of Ketchikan gentlemen

A com pany of Ketchikan gentlemen consisting of NJ. E. Mitchell, A. A. Wakefield. Capt. w. A. Thompson, John Lhote and others, have just completed the location and stalking of sixteen marble claims near St. Augustine harbor on Dahl Island.
 They have whole mountain of marble varying from the purest white through all the beautiful tints to a deep blue. The huge beds of rock ex- tend nearly down to the beach and are conveniently situated to be easily handled and loaded on to boats for shipment.
 Many specimens of their marble have been brought to town where it will be polished and subjected to tests to determine it's value. Apparently it is of the purest grade and with but slight attempts at polishing shows an excellent grain and rich coloring which promises to the most ignorant an assurance of value equal to the celebrated output of the Vermont quarries.

As far as the teleg:aphic advices go at the present time the Territorial Government for Alaska bill just intro- duced in Congress by Delegate James Wickersham seems to be possessed of no objectionable features. It appears to be certainly mild enough to pre- clude the probability of strong oppo- stion on the part of capitalists who are investing money in Alaska, and if it succeeds to that extent it's final suc- cess may be regarded as assured.
 The provision which guards against a tax on property exceeding one per cent by the Territorial Government appears to protect the Federal Gov ernment for all legislation ought surely to satisfy the most conservative. Indeed the last mentioned clause would suggest that the local government would be rIot much more than solely d deliberative assembly did the wording of the telegraphic advices seem pot to mean that the action of the Terri torial Legislature would be law failing tho positive disapproval of Congress.
 The clause which provides that the taxes outside incorporated towns will go to the home government no doubt means that the proceeds from saloon license, district courts fees etc. will continue to pour into Federal coifers and that the schools will therefore

The bill introduced by Delegate Wickersham to provide for the appointment of mine inspectors for Alaska will probably result in increas- ing his popularity in the Northern country among wage workers while it may create opposition in some quar- ters.
 The opposition may be expected to come rather from small operators of placer ground than from large invest ors, as carelessness is as a rule only manifested by men whose capital is small enough to make important the amount of money saved by not provid- ing their workmen with safeguards. :,
 The greatest need of mine inspectors is felt in the sections where placer

Fairbanks Is to have a lodge of Chapter Masons. The Times says in that connection that the organized chapter of Royal Arch Masons gath cred at Masonic hall Sunday afternoon and signed the necessary papers, which must go to the head office in Ohio.
 The chapter now has membership of 8, twenty-one of whom attached their signatures to the application which was sent out on Sundays mail. There vii lik ely be nc further meet ings until the application is heard from, but in the meantime the officers will perfect themselves in their work so that by the time the charetr arrives the chapter will have all the appearance of an old and well-regu- lated institution.
 The elective officers of the new chapter are: Harmon Caskey, high priest: E. H. Mack, king; Charles E. Taylor, scribe.
 The chapter also requires the appointment of l other officers, but this part of the work will not be taken up until after the charter has arrived and the organization is protected.

mining is carried on in deep ground. In such properties timbering is often neglected to save expense, with the result that some lives are lost from time to time by the caving in of the dirt.
 The inspectors, if appointed, will also, of course be useful in testin g holSts and, although up to the present time their services were needed only on occasions, the growing importance of Alaska and the increase of the development work will render the . work of inspectors more necessary.

A Sunday Fire.

Last Sunday morning about
half-past ten o'clock the dwell
ing of Mrs. Adeline Dodson, a
colored woman, on West NeoSho
street, was discovered on fire, and
it was totally destroyed. The
fire gained such headway before
the alarm was turned In that
nothing could be done toward
saving it. A smoke was seen by
several people, but on account of
the location of the house, being
next to the railroad, it was
thought something was burning
along the right of way, and no
attention was paid to it until the
flames burst out. Mrs. Dodson
was not at home at the time and
she says there was no fire in the
stove, so the origin OF the tire Is
a mystery. The loss was total,
there being no insurance.

CRIMINAL SUPERIOR
COURT HERE TODAY.
Nc Session on Saturday, 1t Being Ad-
journsd Until This Mornins-Sen-
tenee of JErasz.

On Saturday morning Deputy Sheriff
H. K. Draper opened and adjourned
the criminal superior court in this city
until this morning at ten o'clock. 1t
is expected today's session will be
short and that it will end the husi-
ness of the term, which has lasted for
q days.
Jurasz will be brought into court to
be sentenced and it is possible that
Kiley will be released, as the state
feels that Ktley, through having serv-
ed a sentence at the New London jail
while awaiting trial and through his
full confession resulting in the SEN
fencing of Bogardus to life imprison-
ment, has earned his freedom. States
Attorney Hull has stated that this is
the attitude of the state. The reason
Ridisz has not been tried is owing to
the uncertainty about his sanity 1t
is probable that Ridisz will have his
case continued unless he pleads guilty
to second degree murder. His posi-
BILE insanity is the only reason for
such continuance.
Motions will probably be filed by
the attorneys for Jurasz at today's
session for a stay of judgment or for
a new trial.
About the only other matter unset
tied is the case against George Tom
linson Of Groton, charged with as
saulting a Groton girl. When his
trial was first called Tomlinson ran
away and when he returned 1t was too
late for the trial. He certainly will
not be tried this term

JUDGE BROWN DECIDES.
Finds That Men Cannot Be Held Again
in the Copper Wire Cases.

Saturday morning at the session of
the city court Judge Brown stated that
he was ready to give his decision in
the cases of the state VS.. David n.
Gordon, Abraham Fox and Moses Gold
fadden, in so far as the quescfon or law
is concerned. The case came up in the
city court January Is and went over TO
March 1st.
He said the case was in court on a
plea in bar filed by Attorneys Shields
and Thayer when City Attorney Hall
new evidence had been secured The
city attorney entered a demurrer to
the plea, and it was argued before
Judge Brown, who reserved his decis-
ion until March LIST, to which time rhe
case was continued. In order to let
the attorneys know what course to
take when it comes up at that time.
h decided to dispose Of the question Of
law now. He said that in August of
last year they were tried and discharg-
ed. and that they claim that after such
trial and discharge they cannot be
tried again for the same offense, and it
is a recognized principal, said the
Judge that no one shall be twice pre-
scented and tried for the same thing.
Whether or not the city court has
final jurisdiction in the case is the
QuSSlioA ihFpiFeO IA inc plea III par
The city courts jurisdiction is 5000
and six months in Jail, and inasmuch
as the men guilty Of the thefts were
fined but $50 and costs in the superior
court, he held that the matter was
within the courts jurisdiction.
He overTuled the demurrer of City
Attorney Hall TO the plea in bar, and
decided the case could not be tried
again in the city court for the offense
on which they were discharged in Au-
gust.
