TREADWELL TOPICS

George Jones, who was foreman of the Alaska Juneau mine, has accepted a position in the cyanide plant for the winter months.
 The hum of the 300 mill can be heard and the force is all back at work again as long as the water holds out.
 There was a meeting of the fire de partmeut last Wednesday evening and considerable business was transacted.
 The show at the Club last Saturday was good and was attended by a large crowd.
 The large iceberg which came up the channel on Monday got stranded at the back of the Mexican boarding house. At low tide it must have been 90 feet above the water.
 The cyanide plant will be closed for a time to allow the Treadwell company to fill it's contract with the shelter people iu Tacoma. The crew will be retained doing repair and improvement work.
 The heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday caused great amount of water to get into the Treadwell mines, but the pumps got the best of it and the mine is clear again.
 The foundry bowling team beat the MeXicans by score of 2l96 against 1877, or a total of 2l9 pins. c. w. john son was high score with l9O pins to hls credit.
 ". F. Taylor, who arrived on the Sen ator from Charleston, Wash, has taken his old position at the foundry and will be a great help to the bowling team.
 The dark horse bowling team from Treadwell beat the assay office team last night by a score of 2114 to 2086, or a total of 48 pins. George Stephens had the high score for the evening, l9O pins. This game gives the first place in the tournament up to date to the assay office with a score of 6342 pins, with the store in second place with 63O4 and the foundry third with 6204 pins. These are the only teams having played three games each, and while they have considerable lead over the others. it is not at all unlikely that some of the other teams will come up with a spurt and make them sit up and take notice. The crowds that attend are all good rooters and keep things stirred up all the time Wait till the store and assay office clash and then look out for "doiugs." It is rumored that the store crowd has corner on all the horns in town, while the assay office has been making arrangements with the manager of the sawmill to get a couple of old saws for the night of the game. Anyway it will be hummer.
 II. Hedstrom left on the Senator for months visit with. his family at Seat tie.
 W.J Boyle left for the South on the Senator He expects to be back in time to pilot the tourists around again this summer.
 The Treadwell school children are planning to have a Christmas program, tree and fish pond, on Friday after noon, Dec. B, at ? o'clock. They will be pleased to have any of their friends or relatives visit them at that time.

HARVEY W. SCOTT.

Harvey w. Scott, the editor of
the Portland (Ore.) Oregonian,
died in Baltimore, after a surgic-
al operation, Sunday, August
z. For many years Mr.. Scott
was, with his journal, the most
controlling force in Oregon; the
foremost citizen. He was seven
ty-two years OF age and had been
a resident OF Oregon for fifty
eight years, and the editor of the
Oregonian forty years. His boy
hood in Oregon had been on a
farm; he earned his own way
through school; his life represent
ed the state in which he lived,
crude and rough, but splendid in
its savagery at the beginning,
but advancing and eliminating
in a glorified state. He was a
brilliant, massive and strong
writer; in an army it would have
represented the solid infantry
and the heavy artillery rather
than the flash and bugle calls of
the cavalry. Personally incor-

Pledge the Candidates.


Where a candidate stands on
questions ofimportance, without
reference to political views, is Of
the utmost Importance; and be-
lieving, as heretofore stated in
our editorials, that the voters
should know exactly how each
and every candidate for public
office stands and what to expect
from him ii elected, before cast
ing the ballot, either at the prim-
AIRY or at the general election,
we have prepared a few questions
which we submit to the various
candidates for their considera-
ton, and we offer the columns OF
our papers for use, free OF cost,
to the said candidates as a me-
dunn through which to place
themselves on record, by which
the voters may select the ones
who most nearly represent their
views on issues of importance.
No longer do the voters in the
western states vote blindly for
the party candidates without
knowing where they stand on
vital issues and, if a legislative
candidate, what he will promise
to do in his official capacity, if
elected. The mere statement that
he will adopt the republican or
the democratic policy, has lost
its charms with the honest voter
and only satisfies the corrupt
politician and CRATER.
So the people desire to know
the views OF legislative candi-
dates on questions that will come
up for consideration at the next
session OF the legislature. The
voters want to know what you
propose doing ifelected, and they
have a right to know your views

erence for native land and it's in-
stitutions; anythinglike a falter-
ing in any trust on the part Of a
public officer was met by him and
his journal with a wrath un-
quenehable. His prejudices were
strong, but in his journal he
never forgot, that he, too, was
handling a trust for his fellow
men and that it must always be
squared by justice. This element
in his character shone out
through the types OF his news
paper and so, it is not strange
that it soon became a mighty
controlling influence and held its
prestige and its sway over the
men of Oregon until the end.
1t will be hard to find anyone
to pick up his pen and WELD it,
for, insensibly, he has moulded
the thought of his state and Civ
en- direction to itspublic opinion.
On some important questions he
was always wrong, but we believe
his old readers would resent any
change from his views, for their
thought will be, he was honest
and clear Drained aud discerning,
why was he-sot right?
From rude beginnings he led
and steadied Oregon up to what
it now is, and if type OF man
could be represented in steel and
in fire and force we should say
the battleship named after his
state, was his representative.
Very sorrowingly will the peo-
pie ofhis state give him sepulchre,
they will mourn him as their
greatest son, their foremost citi-
zen, and to their older residents
there will never anyone be found
to pick up and wearhis sovereign
