As election day draws near many Alaskans are. beginning to speculate on how they will cast their vote for dele gate to congress. While there are fac tious in the fight that are already des- perately in earnest, in the main the voters are not so deeply concerned as one might think. They are simply waiting for something to turn up to settle for them the question. As sad, the desperate factions are busy throw ing mud and hurling invective. Some of the candidates and their friends have already been told that they are villains of the deepest dye. In some instances they have retaliated in kind and sub- stance. But Alaskans are not inter ested in the question of pie-counter jobs. What they care about is the question of the immediate future. What will be done for Alaska, to de- velop it, 10 bring ont its resources and make them available for the people that now live; that the men who have come to Alaska may be paid for their efforts in its behalf. With the most of us the fear that some great corporation may gobble up a thousand acres and build railroads on it is not Oue.half as great as the fear that III the struggle we will not be able to grasp a share, that we will some day realize that our day is past and a stronger one has pushed us from our place in the ranks, and our hands are still empty. Conservation may be a very fine thing in theory, but when we walk out into the tim Der and see where the logs are rotting as they have fallen tier after tier of them-a useless waste-it's hard tU understand why the pioneer citizen should pay tax on the little he needs to build his home.
 The one thing that is growing stronger each day in the minds of all, and that is the belief that Alaskans should have voice in their own affairs. But the present political era is not consumed in the discussion of such subjects. It is rather given over to the calling of bad names. In many instances it is only case of the pot calling the kettle black. As we have suggested, it is only the few that are making all the fuss. The great majority would much prefer peace They feel that were AlaSkans to unite their efforts for the upbuilding of the country much might be done. But the constant bickerings of the few leaves nothing but bad taste in the mouths of all It is high time that the people of the district take the matter in their own hands and de clare that the professional politician and office seeker shall have no part in our affairs.

An Excursion

The Arctic Brotherhood is planning an excursion to Sitka to visit the camp there and view the beauties-we mean the landscapes and scenic attractions of that historic town. It is planned to charter the steamer Georgia for the trip. By this means it will be possible to make the round trip fare about S5, exclusive of meals. If the present plans materialize the ship will start from Douglas at noon on August l2th. It is probable that large number of Island people would be glad to take ad- vantage of the opportunity for cheap trip. In selling the tickets members of the Camp are to be given first chance, but if there is still room others may be permitted to buy them. Many people have never visited Sitka and the trip, which will consume about two and one half days, will be a pleasant one, and at a price most reasonable.

TWO HORSES BURNED ALIVE

Ed Branson sustained quite a
serious loss last Monday evening
through the burning to death of his
team. Mr.. Brandon resides on a
homestead three miles north of
town, and on Monday evening as
going to the Erb place to do some
irrigating. In passing his corral
a spark evidently dropped from his
pipe and some time after Mrs. Erb
saw smoke issuing from the corral.
Mr.. Brandon rushed home but
one of his horses was then suFocated
and the other so badly burned that
it had to be shot the following
morning. The horses were tied to
a manger in the corral and when it
took fire it was impossible for them
to escape. Mr.. Brandon feels the
loss quite heavily as IL was his only
team. Churchill County Eagle.

THE .LAMOILLE CELEBRATION

From what we learn from part
les that attended the Lamoille cele-
bratlon on the Forth, there was a
large crowd present and the cele-
bration of the nation S birthday was
a grand success. The celebration
began Saturday night with a ball
that lasted until midnight. Mon
day forenoon the celebration was
renewed. At 10 o'clock. there was
a mule race, after which a splendid
literary program was rendered.
This consisted of music by Pages
orchestra, reading of the Declara-
ton of Independence, recitations by
the children, and an address by
District Attorney Taber. This
part of the program was enjoyed by
all present.
After the exercises, the people
enjoyed their lunches and engaged
in social conversation until the after
noon sports began. These consisted
Of game of baseball between the
ElkO and Lamoille mines, horse
races, catching a creased pig and
other sports. The ball game was
very interesting. At the close of
the 4th inning the Lamoille club
was ahead. In the 5th the score
was tied and in the 9th and last in
ming the Elko boys passed their
opponents and won the game, by a
score of 10 to 8.
A grand ball, lasting until Tues
day morning. closed the celebration.
Nothing occurred during the ceIe-
bration to mar the pleasure of
those present. In fact, the whole
celebration from beginning to end
was big success and reflected
great credit on those who planned
and carried it through.

CONSIDER o TAX.
Think Fido Will Be Permitted to Run
at Large UncolIared.

Jackson.-One of the most promi
lent questions that al before the
Kinds county board of supervisors at
their sitting the past week Was as to
whether or not they would put a lit
lie tax on Fido," which under al act
of the legislative session of 1910 they
were authorized to do. In fact, the
subject has been up before the board
for several months, as to whether the
county assessor should levy a tax OF
n dollar or more on dogs, which
has been done to good effect in other
counties. The board has again passed
up the question, and it is quite prob
able that the Kinds county dog will
be permitted to run free and unim.
peded by tax license collar for another
year, at any rate.
At the last session of the state law
makers efforts were made to secure
the passage of a compulsory and state
wide dog tax law, but that measure
was ~emasculated to such an extent as
to leave in its place the simple su.
thority Of the counties to levy a tax.
the act being optional with the county
and not mandatory.
In some of the counties, especially
those in which the sheep industry Is a
feature, such a tax has been levied
by the boards of supervisors.

WAR ON BLIND TIGERS,
County Attorneys Write Attorney.
General for Information.

Jackson.-Several counties, follow.
ing the action of County Attorney o.
B. Taylor of Kinds, are making ready
10 open war on the blind tigers. Two
or three county attorneys have writ
ten Acknowledgement Hudson for in
formation on this subject, and init
mate their intention to proceed under
the same statute as Mr.. Taylor took
action under.
This act provides a penalty of ST.,
900 against each person convicted of
unlawful retailing, and is to be di-
vided between the state, county and
municipality.
The tigers have become rather bold
in all parts of the state recently and
the prosecutors believe it is about
time to put an end to their operations.
In cases where the penalty is levied
by the %chancery court, the same evi.
dence may be used for presenting the
accused to the grand jury.
Some counties have fought the
tigers so persistently that they have
been unable to get even a foothold,
but in others the law has not been
enforced to any extent, and the county
attorneys, it seems, are getting ready
for a general cleaning up in the near
future.

TAKING OLD CLERKS BACK.

Giving Experienced Men Preference
Where Vacancy Occurs.
The old clerks of the Queen & Ores.
cent system, who went out on strike
some time ago, are gradually being
taken back. Many of them have been
given their old positions at points
along the lines in Mississippi, and it
seems to be the policy Of the road
to take all back in a short time.
The old men, 1t is maintained, were
trained In their duties and required
but little supervision, while the men
who took their places are new to the
work, and business became congested
at various points during the strike.
At Meridian. for instance, a great deal
of freight was detained there during
the strike, and many shipments to
Jackson were delayed, but since some
of the old men have returned to their
places business is moving at a lively
rate again.

WAY SETTLE HINES CASE,
Strong Probability That 1t Will Not
Be Tried.

Jackson.-There is still a strong
probability of the suit against the
Hines Lumber Company being settled
out of court, and the decision in the
Cumberland Telephone case seems to
strengthen the negotiations hat have
been pending between the attorney
general and Mr.. Edward H. Hines for
some time. 1t is believed that deci-
sion of the supreme court, handed out
by Justice Sidney NJ. Smith, and who
Is a stickler Of the law, will have q
good effect.
The Hines Lumber Company wants
to settle the case so 1t a begin to
develop its property in South Missis-
sippi, which includes a large lumber
plant at Poplarville, a railroad from
Gulfport to Columbia and another road
from Poplarville to Bogalusa, giving
a short line to New Orleans from the
Poplarville territory.
The Hines company had planned to
begin active work on these improve
ments last spring, but when the suit
was instituted against the company at
Poplarville all work ceased and the
property has lain idle silce that time.
Nothing has been done toward devel-
oping either the timber interests or
building the Gulfport-Co ,umbia rail
road. This line had been surveyed
to within a short distance of Columbia
when the suit was filed in Pearl River
county, but the engineers were called
off and all work stopped Immediately.
Since then efforts have been made
to settle the case out of court, and
the negotiations are still pending.
Mr.. Hines has been here frequently
the last few months, but has made
no statement as to his plant.

RECEIVER FOR TRUST co.
Court Holds That Its Transactions Are
Contrary to Law.

court HOLDS ma It's TRANSACTIONS Arc
Contrary to Law.
Jackson.-After having sat for four
days hearing testimony and arguments
in the case of the state of Mississippi
against the Jackson Loan & Trust
Company, being an injunction asked
for by the attorney general to re-
strain the concern from carrying on
business-rHing investigation by a
receiver, Chancellor Lyell rendered a
decree sustaining the motion Of the
state for a receiver, and denying the
motion of the defendant to dismiss
the bill Of injunction. The court held
that while the concern is not shown
to be insolvent, an examination Of the
contracts made and entered into with
customers satisfies it that the trans
actions are contrary to law and the
public policy Of the state, as we'll as
the charter franchise.
The court appoints Fred M. West Of
Jackson as receiver to furnish bond in
the penal sum Of 100000, and mean
while grants a supersedeas appeal to
the supreme court in order to settle
the principles of the case. The appeal
bond is fixed at $1,000 and the defend
ant given ninety days in which to per-
feet the appeal.

LABOR AGENTS IN HINDS.
Negroes Are Being Enticed to Leave
This State.

Jacksonville planters of the state
are facing a labor problem, especially
in that part infested with boil weevil.
Labor agents are active in the south
ern part of the state, but have not
been as successful there as they would
like to have been.
For several days, according TO re-
ports, these agents have invaded
Hines, Warren and other counties in
this immediate section, painting
gloomy pictures of conditions as they
will appear when the weevil strikes
this section next season. The weevi-
has already made its appearance here,
but the farmers have taken steps to
provide for their labor. The negroes
not understanding the situation clear
ly, are only too willing to seek other
chimes, and many of them, it is said
have already deported, while others
have promised to go as soon as their
crops are gathered.
This has brought the farmers of this
section face to face with a serious
problem, and some of them will be
short of labor for next season, it is
feared. Steps have been taken to
prevent the labor agents working in
this section, but it is understood a
large number of negroes have con
tracted to go.
Farmers around Natchez and other
places where their labor is being en-
ticed away have called or the business
men of that city to assist them, and
1t Is probable the Jackson Board of
Trade will take this matter up That
Oklahoma is drawing on Mississippi
largely for labor has been evident here
for some time. Negroes are offered a
vote in all elections as one inducement
to go there, and this appeals to many.
but there are others who prefer Mis-
sissippi 10 Oklahoma.
Three or four years ago labor agents
came here and induced many negroes
to leave this state for Oklahoma, but
they did not find conditions what they
had been pictured, and all of them who
could get back returned to the state,
and have no desire to go through sim
liar experiences.
