The Home Of the Cod.

There is just one other great cod
bank In the world besides those off
Newfoundland. 1t lies off Cape Agul-
has, which is the southern tip of A.
RIGA, and south of the Cape Of Good
Hope. The Agulhas plateau is said to
be almost a duplicate in size and rich
ness Of the north cod banks. But this
is too far off, so there is little promise
Of its appeasing the hungry appetite
of the world for cod.

ALASKA COAL LAND FRAUDS

The recent arrest of tow of Seatte's prominent at
torneys and likewise some of her prominent business
well from other towns in the North
west in connection with extensive coal land frauds in
Alaska, causes the man. who thought himself good
honest citizen to set up and take notice. lest he is
grossly deceving himself. While Charles F. Munday
has been considered or less successful attorney
at-law, no one has looked upon him possessing
any of the adventurous spirit and yet the federal
grand jury finds true bill of indictment agaiast him,
and he is arrested the charge of trying to defraud
the government of million dollars worth of coal
lands and in commenting on his arrest he gives it
his opinion that rival syndicates in the East have
prompted their arrest The men who listened to the
evidence against Mr. Munday ct al, Washington
and perhaps born in the state and share of
the prejudces of the eastern against the western
man, and say what you will may, there is
for the arrest of these men, and it is safe to say
whether Mr.. Munday is is not mixed up in crooked
coal land grabbing in Alaska, somebody is and the
grand jury evidently believed that Mr.. Munday is
of them his previous good character and reputation to
the contrary Notwithstanding.

that the women do not take any interest in politics

print all of the circulars and pay the postage sent out

SEATTLE AND THE NATIONALITY

There is no longer any doubt but that those oppos
ed to Mayor Hiram Charles Gill will secure enough
signatures to their petition to order recall election
but the important question is, who will be nominated
against him? If Austin E. Griffith is pitted against
Mr. Gill then it will be but repetition of the last
spring campaign, and hundreds and thousands of men
who are bitterly opposed to the Gill policy, will vote
for him again rather than vote for Griffith Mr. Grif
fifth is perhaps honest and straightforward as any
other man in the state but he is not the kind of man
that the public wants to at the head OF affairs
and the voters just will not stand for him. While
Griffith is honest and upright he is close, contentious
and given to splitting hairs over triyals and would be
the vertable bull in the china shop in the office of
mayor of the city of Seattle The names of George
H. Walker, L. H. Gray, w. P. Trimble some similar
business man would come nearer meeting the pubc's
idea of fit candidate for mayor than Griffith and un
less the name of some such person is nominated Hi

they do not want a Griffith BouOn raWhide and
