Know Where He stands

"Ren" Barker of Reed City one
of Michigan's veteran newspaper
men is staunch supporter Of
Senator Burrows. The following,
clipped from his Reed City
Clarion of recent date mildly ex.
presses "Ren's" sentiments:
"When the great free silver storm
swept over the country like hurricane
IN 1896, and e good many Republicans
in old Michigan were temporarily taken
from their moorings, Senator Burrows
stood as firm as the rock of Gibraltar for
so und currency and has lived to hear the
vacillators declare their error. He stood
firm against the onslaughts of free trade,
populism and all isms that tempted and
captivated some of his party's followers for
varying periods. La standing firm he has
lost the support of some men and some
newspaper men of not much inflneuce,
but has never lost his self-respect or sur
rendered his convictions. Some exceed
ingly tempting offers were made him to
join the free silver propaganda, and he
was led by the chief owner of the chief
organ of this school of finance in Mich
igan to the top of a high mountain,
where be was shown some tempting king
doms, in the event that he would bow
down to silver -(ratio sixteen to one)
The senator was not tempted, and to-
day be has the strenuous, unjust and
unprincipled opposition of the newspaper
family over which the tempter holds his
power in Detroit, with few weak kneed
politicians scattered over the state, un-
der the control of thete mpter and doing
its dirty work But Senator Burrows will
be on duty at Washington, after they
have passed in their political checks.

Kelly Makes Reply.

Gubernatorial Candidate p. H.
Kelley, in reply to a letter from
the Michigan State Grange, re
questing his views on the taxa
ton of mining properties, comes
out squarely for just and prop
err assessment of upper peninsG
la property the same as any 9th
er property assessment. Mr..
Kelley makes no rash promises,
threats or boasts as to what he
will do if he is elected governor,
but he does say that if he is
elected he will use every endeav-
or, as chief executive of the
state to secure a prompt and
equitable appraisal and assess
ment of the properties of the
great iron and copper companies
and then apply such corrective
remedies as may seem wise and
just
Mr.. Kelley goes just as far in
his declaration as he or any 9th
er candidate can honestly go.
He makes no grandstand play
for the votes of the grange. He
might have ranted and spilled
language over an entire news
paper about what he would do
to "the corporations who are not
bearing their just share of the
'peepul's' burdens" had he de-
sired to appear the demagogue
but be is not a candidate for
governor on any such platform.
Mr.. Kelley is fairly familiar
with the constitution and the
present laws of Michigan and the
duties and powers of the govern
or of the state. If nominated
and elected governor he Will do
his level best to have these laws
enforced and if they are lacking
in point of phrase, or sufficiency,
to bring about any needed re-
form in taxation matters, he will
make such recommendations to
the Legislature as in his judg-
ment will correct any existing
evils.
Mr.. Kelley is fully acquainted
with conditions in the uppe r
peninsula. His discussion of
the question asked him by the
grange, in the reply he has sub
mitted, shows that he knows
what he is talking about. 1t is
not a wordy diatribe but an in
telligent and dignified treatise of
an important subject. lie real
ICES that the mining companies
.of the state have rights but they
are not entitled to any special
privileges. He wants square
deal all around and assures the
grange and everybody else that
as governor he will do his best
TO the end that every taxpayer
has it. Other candidates for
governor may promise more and
kick up lot of dust in the MAX
ing of the promise but any fair
minded man will realize that
Kelley has promised all any
governor can deliver.

LIEUTENANT-G Governor p. II.
Kelley has been DBL. ged to write
to his friends throughout the
state, to cease procuring sigma
lures to his primary petitions.
He has been literally flooded with
petitions and already has many
thousand more than he can tile
according to the primary law.
While he cannot use all the
names received, the testimonial
is one "Pat" cannot help but
cherish. and proves perhaps
better than any argument, his
strength throughout the state.

THE True Northerner regrets
the necessity of referring to the
department and conduct Of boys
at public places. Last Monday
at the opera house, during the
memorial exercises, the confu-
sion was somthing awful. AT
one time it was necessary for the
marshal to take a hand in the
matter and quell the disturbance.
A majority of the offenders are
old enough to know better, and
yet the fault to a great degree
lies with the parents. Children
should at all times be taught to
respect the rights Of others, and
above all things to be ladies and
gentlemen. A public perform
ance 0f any kind is no place for
a small boy or girl unless accom-
panied by its parents, or some
older person, The demonstra-
ton at the opera house last Mon
day is not the first one of a SINH
lar nature that has occurred in
Paw Paw. 1t should however
serve as an object lesson for ev
cry parent in the village. Siren
uous measures should be resort.
ed to if necessary to teach the
young, to respect the rights of
older persons, and grow up as
ladies and gentlemen

fully and adroitly they have
stood as a band, helping this and
that lower section legislator and
adding him to their ranks to
suppress this one proposition.

handle important legislation.

Tatena, at point only 10 or l2 miles from comparatively deep water on the Kuskokwim side of the divide. They had intended to remain in the coun- try throughout the summer and come out over the snow, but the outlook ap- peared so favorable to MT. Lucas that he decided to build small boat and de- scend the Tatena to the Nowi, and thence to the Yukon, to determine what facilities that route affords for boating supplies into the region he has selected for long period of prospecting. As far as the purpose for which it was made is concerned, the return trip was wholly unsatisfactory.
 The course of the Tatena is long and tortuous. For miles it is sluggish and easy boating except for many series of shoals which sometimes extend for long distances which make it necessary to haul even light unloaded boat out and drag it over the moss. On account of the impossibility of this route for freight ing in supplies, Mir. Lucas will return by the mouth of the Kuskokwim, thus covering distance of considerably more than thousand miles in order to reach a point approximately 175 miles from Tanana by the cross-country route taken in winter by hunters, trappers and pros- pectors.
 Had Mir. Lucas known the Northern Commercial Company had decided to establish trading post in the upper Kuskokwim he would have been saved the hard work and much time consumed in the trip out and back into the coun- try again. He says he confidently ex- poets to see several placer camps opened up in the region within the next year or two. On some of the streams flowing northward from Mount Mckinley good prospects have been found, and to Mir. Lucas the whole vast country seems to present unusually favorable indications of being rich in gold.

Col. Sawyer, the census taker, has computed the population of our city to reach the comprehensive total of 2,675 souls. If notice is taken of prospectors who have been absent from the burg during the months when the census was taken the total will be found to be some- what over 2,750. So it seems there were some left in the city after all the boats left last fall, and in all probability, there will be goodly few of old reliables stay ing with it next winter when the frost king again assumes control of the ele- ments.-Nome Industrial Worker.

TO ESTABLISH
 A NEW POST
Lavelle Young to Take Goods for
 N. c. to Upper Kuskokwim.

The Northern Commercial Company has definitely decided to establish a post on the upper Kuskokwim river. It has been rumored among prospectors and others for several months past that the company would take this step, but it is only within the last week that it was given out with authority that such will certainly be the case.
 The post will be near the mouth of the Takstna, right-limit tributary of the East Fork. The Takotna is some- what over 600 miles from the mouth of the Kuskokwim, and is trifle west of south distance of about 18O miles from Tanana.
 The steamer Lavelle Young will leave St. Michael with supplies for the new post about June 25. She will carry 8 barge which will be used as storehouse until suitable buildings can be provided. The steamer will ply between Bethel and Takotna the balance of the season, and it is expected she will winter at the latter place.

Men coming down the Yukon in small boats the past few days say there is local stampede on to the Seventymile country. Particulars could not be gained, but it is said the new find was much talked of on the upper river. The Seventymile is quite river, enters the Yukon on the left limit twenty miles below Eagle, and has been producer in small way for many years. It gained international fame few years ago when an English company lost very large sum of money to promoters of a hydraulic venture on the river.
