 Governor Clark thanked them for the reception that had been accorded him He remarked that two new features had impressed him very ia yorably One was the prospect of lode mining and the other was the possibilities for agricultural develop ment. which would surely follow lode mining He said that what the coun- try needed most was railroad. and he thought that the people should unite and cultivate spirit of hos pitality 10 outside capital Governor Clark commented upon the attacks -r.l- fgh L. .-,rls..4a3 rfr his arrival in Alaska.

 R F Roth made a speech in reply to the toast of The President" He pointed out that the President was more in actual control of Alaska than he was in control of any of the States, MT Roth said that President Taft was a friend of Alaska. what he lacked was a knowledge of what the people wanted. He said that the President was always ready to listen to the cry of Alaskans
 Dealing with the railroad question, Mir Joslin pointed out that without a trunk line to the interior Alaska was doomed 10 slow progress. His own idea was that d line should he built from Haines 10 Boring straits. The country needed capital, and Alaskans should protest against the theory of conservation which pre- vented the present generation from opening up the resources of the coun. try. Mir Joslin thought that all Fed eral officials should gel their in. formation about Alaska first hand. He then read the following resolu. tion:

 The finishing touches of the install ling of the R. A. M officers took place last night at which time about 40 members gathered around groan- ing tables and did full justice to the good things thereon. Short talks were indulged in by a number of the members, and as a fitting eli max to the whole proceedings MT. Baker, the installing officer, was presented with an ivory tusk trim med with native gold and suitably inscribed. Imbedded in one side of the tusk was a keystone, the em- blem of the degree, inscribed with a square and quadrant, having in the center moonstone. The recip- tent showed visible evidence of dis tress upon it's receipt, as it was wholly unlocked for, and it is eX- pected that MT Baker will have great things to say to his Seattle on his return, which may be doubted, but he certainly has the goods in his possession to prove his statements Alex Capewell piloted the visitor over the creeks for two days this week, and today Councilman Sabin is showing him around Engineer and Goldstream.

aE HAS MADE GOOD.

Senator E. D. Smith has won
out in the effort to have the gov
ernment's investigation of the
cotton inquiry made without any
discrimination against the legiti-
mate buyers and sellers of cotton.
Smith is after the men who sold
cotton which they had not, and
inasmuch as the attorney general
proposed to investigate, Senator
Smith insists that his inquiry be
made to cover the sheep as well
as the goats. He claims the
threatened investigation by the
government has cost the people
$40. 600, 900 by 4 depression Of the
price of cotton. Smith also claims
that whereas only $40, 900, 900
worth Of manufactured goods had
been exported last year. $780,
900, 900 worth Of raw cotton had
been sent abroad, this year the
Senator says the cotton exporta-
tion will be 100000, 900. In a
spirit of sarcasm Smith exclaim
e1, ''If the Attorney General
must conduct an Investigation, let
him investigate the chief Of the
weather bureau for the bringing
on the recent frost, and if that is
not conclusive, let him go higher
and investigate Jehovah himself
for running the cotton crop OF the
present season. Senator Smith
believes the governments inter
ference is unwarranted, and IS
done to relieve the Bears who
were caught short.
There is no doubt in our mind
of the election of E. D. Smith be-
ing one of the most fortunate hap
penings for the cotton growers,
and as time goes on it will prove
itself. The cotton growing indus
try is one OF the ruost important
in the United States and hereto
fore the growers of this most in
portant crop have mad no one to
Stand up and defend it against the
encroachments Of the greedy
spectators: but now they have in
Smith defender who can hold
his own with the best Of them, and
he will demand just treatment by
the government for those who
have so long been neglected. The
resolution advocated by our jun.
ior Senator was adopted.

cere Judgment that the prohio!-
ton element can accomplish bet
ter results if they cling TO the
local option idea, we are sure the
cause of temperance is more
likely to be enhanced by persua-
sion, than by force. The pcohi-

siderable headway for their
cause by local option. but as
soon as they undertook to fasten

In South Carolina. the Prohi
bitionists have made large gains,
in fact, they have by local op-
ton succeeded in driving out the
legal sale of intoSicants from all
out six counties of the State,
the question is now, what will
be their wiSeSt course for the
tutu-e2? Will it be wise to rush
the question and force those
counties that have given en- ex-
preston, or would it not be bet
ter to let the people II those
counties manage that matter fer
themselves2 There are many

will meet some of the jury in the
other land. Tae charge laid at
Ashley's door and which has
given him so much annoyance, is
the result of a bad labor system
which has been in vogue in this
State for many years growing out
of the labor contract laws. These
laws when first enacted we"~ y
tended asa protection to the. a.
er, but as time went on the mer-
chant began using this form of
contract as q security for debt,
and when the debt was not PAID
he invoked the criminal laws to
collect the debt, the consequence
was, the law was badly abused d.,
and finally found its way into the
United States court. The court
declared the law unconstitution-
al. Ashley was only doing what
thousands of men do every day.
