 GOOD ROAD WORK

 It will begin in this city, traverse the county road westerly. to about mile beyond Lees Lake Then turning at right angles will skir, across the country. reaching Jerome Junction. the dinner station, and come back over the county highway entering Prescott on the northern limits. The loop of this route will be a complete one. and from the rec onnoisance made it will be the finest driveway in the northern part of the territory.

ALASKA WEALTH

Benjamin B. Hampton. editor of subject of Who Shall Own Alaska-- The Guggenheims or the People?" of so much importance that he himself has prepared an article on the sub ject for the April isue of that period. ical. A table of statistics shows Alaska wealth to be anywhere from fifteen billion dollars to a trillion and a half.
 No man can estimate accurately the wealth of Alaska" says MT. Hampton, wealth that is today the property of the people of the United States. theirs just as surely as if they were stockholders in a corporation. Nearly one quarter of Alaska has not ever been explored. An Alaskan said recently that the only two persons who really know anything about slaska are the Almighty and Alfred II. Brooks. The latter is a member of the United States Geological Sur Vey. and we have what he knows about Alaska
 MT. Brooks says that only twen- ty per cent of Alaska has been sur veyed at all That is, only this much has been passed over even in recon noissance surveys. which barely div. ide vast stretches according 70 their geological character. Snurveys in de. tail have covered less than one Der cent of the territory This affords at least some basis for an estimate. What is kwown of that one per cent. added to what is known of a patch here and there. suggests the possibil- ities for the rest.
 There is sound reason to believe there is $500 100000 worth of placer gold in Alaska. There may be a hun dred or thousand times that maount.
 As for lode gold mining, there is practically only one deep gold mine being worked in Alaska. the Tread well-the Rothschilds are said to con trol that-and it has produced SC far SSO,000.000. There may be at least s625.000,O0o lode gold in Alaska.
 As for copper. this one item alone will some day make a big crop Of Alaskan millionaires. The govern ment survey experts say. it is impos- sible to estimate the copper reserves, " others say there is another Montana there. another Arizona.
 In coal, the official government fig. ures can be definitely obtained. The coal areas known at this time aggre- gate 1,2Ss square miles. three times the area of Pennsylvania's eoal-bear- ing fields-and much of Alaska's coal equals or betters Pennsylvania in quality.

 The morning session lasted little more than an hour, a recess until o'clock being taken shortly after II q. m. Only one witness had then been examined. He was Herbert F. Robinson, now an irrigation engine sr connected with the Indian service and tsta& toned at Albuquerque, who en- tered his testimony in behalf of the South Gila Canal company. protest ant against the Southwestern Fruit & Irrigation company.
 Before entering the Indian service M-. Robinson was private engineer and was employed for some time on the South Gila project. His testi- mony was mainly in regard to the money spent On improvements at the South Gila dam site prior to 1905. As near as he could judge, Mir Rob

 The case is extremely complicated, there now being five parties thereto. First there is the South Gila Canal company. the corporation in which Francis Randolph Mayer and his as sociates are interested. which ap- pears as protestant against the South western Fruit & Irrigation company. As stated above. the Aztec Canal company has filed an interyenor and now appears as protestant against both the South Gil and Southwestern companies. J. L.

SUPREME COURT
NOT |NFALL|BLE

High comedy, indeed, are the
editorial outbursts against Colonel
Roosevelt's structures upon the SIT
preme court. How infallible these
nine men who, under the Constitu-
ton, are the real governors of the
nation who make and unnake
the laws-a power given by no
other English speaking people to
their courts. In England the
courts must enforce whatever par
lament declares to be the law. They
cannot declare a statute unconsti-
tutional. There is no doubt of
the integrity of our supreme court,
but to say that the judicial opin-
ions of the same nine men, which
affect the happiness and misery of
millions, shall not be criticised, is
so absurd as to be silly. Not only
did Lincoln criticise as bad law the
decision of the supreme court i'll
the bred Scott case, but he even
charged the court with bad faith,
and its decision as being part of a
political conspiracy, participated
in by the president of the United
States, Chief Justice Tawney,
Stephen A. Douglas and others.
He charged that the decision was
purposely held back until after the
presidential election in 1856. Col

REPUBLICAN PARTY
CLEANER POLITICS

In its moral tone at least the
Saratoga declaration, put forward
by the republicans Of New York, is
a departure from the usual party
utterancc. Relentless warfare
against official and Legislative
wrongdoing' is declared. and the
platform adds:
Dishonesty in public service is,
next to treason, the most fragrant
of crimes. In Kidding out institu-
tons of this cancer growth, we
know no party distinctions. y
No party distinctions should
be known when it comes to dealing
with grafters and crooks in the
public service. Party names have
been used to shield dishonest men
in the public service. Party ex-
pcdicnCy has been allowed to take
the place of firm devotion to sound
moral principle. But times are
changing, and we are entering up
on period in the political history
of our country when 40 political
party will dare seek to shield men,
bcrs who bctray it, plumber the
people, outrage the public service.
cripple its efficiency, bring odium
upon the law and encourage disrc-
spcct for the institutions of govern
ment.
1t is timely change. Govern
ment in this country will be gov
ernmcrt in name only when the
people no longer have confidence in
the integrity of men in the public
service. Dishonesty in public ser
vice is not merely next to treason
it is treason, for it gives aid and
comfort" to the evil forces which
are seeking to discredit the entire
American system of government,
and unchecked, must finally lead
to an uphcaval which will shake
.hc fabric to its base.
Politics in this country must be
put on a sound moral basis. Graft
crs and crooks must be divorced
from politics aad driven out of the
public service, else we may hasten
to an evil turn in the life of the

Discouraged at the dismal out

literature has slumped to such an
extent as to Justify only the en-

committee is increasing the number
of its clerks, in order to meet the
growing demand for literature of
the democratic sort The CAM
paign books recently issued by the

notable fact in this connection is
that they are being sent into con-

A VERY GOOD
REASON WHY

Mr.. RIO. StrehloW OF Omaha,
Neb., in writing to the Commoner
says:-The people do not get what
they want because they do not
know what they really do want.
The people have their own condl-
tions. If they did not, they would
change those conditions. Is any
one so light as to think that the
American people can not have any
thing that they really want? Many
de,nagogues denounce corporations
and wealth. The existing evils are
not to be attributed to capital; the
monied interests have simply dove
what these demagOgttes and others
would have done Ill Ter like CO"di-
tons. The trouble is to be found
with the voters themselves The
great majority of voters are such
donkeys that they allow their
wishes to be foiled by their own
blunders. The only remedy is
better citizenship. When the vot
ers bring themselves up to the
standard which the founders of the
constitution expected, then they
will get what they want In order
to do this they must come to a
realization of their duties and re-
sponsibiities; they must throw
away their Dartisanslip. and not
allow politicians and demagogues
to fool them. or follow blindlv in
the footsteps OF their party ma
chine; they must seek for truth on
all political questions and not vote
for an INSCRIPTIONS scoundrel in
preference to a man of high char
acter simply because the latter
differs with their views in some
minor particulars and lastly they
must be filled with interest and
enthusiasm for their share in the
government of so great and glOri-
Gus nation. If the voters comply
with these demands, they will get
what they want.
