Dead. m His Cabin.

Robert Thompson, one of the pio- aeers of Douglas Island and of Alaska, was found dead in his cabin on his mining claims at Nevada creek, by James Mitchell, last Wednesday. 1t is supposed that he died from heart trouble, from which he has been suf- ferer for some time. He was last seen alive on Tuesday. Mitchell returned to town and reported his find, and the next day a party of, friends went out and brought the body to town.
 Funeral services were held at the Friends church at 2 o'clock p. n. on Saturday, October 2S, Rev. J. ?. Had ley officiating. The intermeut was at Douglas cemetery.
 Robert Thompson was 49 years of age and a native of St. Johnsbury, Vt. He came to Douglas in the month of February, 1886, and this has been his home ever since. He was miner and prospeetor, and was one of the locators of the Alaska Treasure mine at Nevada creek, in which he was a large stocBholder at the time of his death. It is, perhaps, fitting that the man who has spent the best years of his life in the hills searching for hid den treasures, should die iu the little cabin, high up on the mountain side and Close by the scene of his endeaV' ors. But it is sad that he-as many oi the prospectors of Alaska have done before-should be called just as the reward of his years of labor was in sight.

Leslie's on Alaska.

LeSl1e : OH EAldShd'
 Robert D. Heinl, Washington cores, pondent for Leslie's Weekly, accom- panied Secretary Fisher on his trip to Alaska. In an article written for his paper, he says
 "In trip up the Boring river, Secre- tary Fisher saw portion of the F, 800 acres of land recently eliminated by President Taft from the Chugach national forest reserves. As far as the eye could see, it was low and marshy area. containing nothing but grass and bushes. An expanse of several hun dred thousand acres at Boring river delta was indicated to the Secretary. Notwithstanding that it was without growth aud barren, the land is still in. cluded in the forest reserves. After hard night 'm0sh' (Alaska for 'hikeN, the party reached Hunts camp, we'll inland, where the next moruing We had view of the celebrated Cunningham claims. Time did not permit oHa visit over the entire tract, but a good idea of the mountainous topography of the field as a whole was obtained. >Secre tary Fisher made a general eXamina- tion of the field and closer inspec- tion of the Green group of coal claims and saw some of the development of the Lippy Davis group. As result of this trip and his talks with local min ing men, he was brought to realize more (hau ever that the value of the Alaskan coal fields is greatly oVeresti' mated
 "There is no doubt that the Alaskan coal field contains valuable deposits. However, many of them are badly crushed and the justification is much broken and folded, so that the expense of mining and transportation would be large and with no assured market for the product. The manager of the largest gold mine in Alaska said, in She presence of the Secretary, that he would not consider Alaskan coal for use in his mine unless it could be de- iyered to him for less than the price he is now paying for oil-which, trans lated into coal terms, would be about S2.8O ton. Alaskan coal could not be miued aud transported cheaply enough to compete with such prices. Oil has many advantages over coal at even the same price.
 "The navy has great need for the high-grade Alaskan coal oa' the Pacific seaboard, but fact not generally known to the public is that plans are now being perfected to convert battle ships into oil burners. As matter of fact, an oil-burning passenger steam ship, the Admiral Sampson, carried the Secretary of the Interior from Seattle to Alaska. If he had not de cided to touch at certain ports of call not on the route of the steamer Ala meda tanother oil burnerl, it would have brought him back to Seattle in stead of the revenue cutter"
 The Sherman Cleveland Opera Co.,, concluded it's Douglas engagement Sat urday evening. While some of the people of Douglas appeared to be shocked at the high kicking of the chorus girls, there was nothing in the show to offend, which is more than can be said of some of the coarse jokes perpetrated by other companies that have visited Douglas not more than a year ago. Douglas gave the sherman Cleveland people good patronage, andthey deserved, it.

Springfield Republican: In prompt
ly reporting the Canadian reciprocity
bill and in pushing along IN Its wake
a separate measure charging the free
list tor the benefit of the farmers of
the county, who think their interests
are sacrificed by the reciprocity bill,
the House democrats continue to be
remarkably clever in their political
management. When has there been
anything SO shrewd and unassailable?
TIE bill charging the free list will
surely pass the House, and the republi-
can Senate. after finally passing the
reciprocity bill, must lind its disposal
exceedingly embarrassing, unless they
send it along to the president. Mr..
Taft would probably sign the mea-
sures should it reach him, but the
snags in the Senate will undoubtedly
prove too formidable and there it will
perish. Even so, however, the position
of the democrats IN the coming
presidential election among the
farmers of the country must be i'm
proved. The democratic brain wagon
IS being we'll driven.

WISE LEGISLATION is GOOD
POLITICS.

1OA1 ND.
Minneapolis Tribune (Rep.) Is this
the Democratic party we nave been
calling unfit to govern the country? It
knows how to legislate anyway. The
politics it plays is the high politics Of
sound legislation.
The more the legislative program
develops the shrewder and wiser it
looks. It meets the president more
than half way and leaves the Republi-
cans none but narrow partisan or selfish
personal ground of opposition. Any
other is cut from underC Canadian recip-
rocity by giving the farmers and in.
surgents who have been asking tariff
revision just what they demanded in
connection with free food products.
Free manufactures for farmers use
could not be put in the agreement,
because Canada will not admit ours
free. But bill giving them to our
farmers is to go to tho senate with
the reciprocity bill. Other bills to
reduce cotton and wooden duties are
to follow close. and probably the steel
schedule will not escape. Then other
legislation promised and denied by the
Republicans will be sent to the senate.
OF course this is playing politics,
but can theRepublicans beat the game?
We made promises in 1908 and broke
them in 1909, in spite of the efforts of
the president to hold the party to its
word. Now the democratic house pro-
poses to unite with a Republican pres
ldent in keeping them. where will it
leave the party if the senate block
the way.

signed the three bills granting the pay
and several newspaper publishers from

their money.
Statewide primaries may become
the general practice in Minnesota, as
the house passed the senate bill by
vote Of 81 to II. This was not done,
however, until the measure had been
amended by providing for a state con-
vention after the primaries to draft a
platform and name the state central
committee. Thus amended the bill
will go back to the senate.

With little debate and deserted by all
friends but it's author, the distance
tariff bill was put to death by the rail-
road committee in the senate. Only
one vote was cast in its favor-that Of
Senator eastman. All others agreed
that it's enactment at present would
annihilate the great rate cases decid-
ed by Judge Sanborn before they
could be appealed to the supreme
court of the United States.
Senator Moonan was chosen to draft
the report on the bill recommending it
for indefinite postponement. It was
the wish of the committee that the
merits Of the measure be not touched
upon and that the report should be
based solely upon the fact that the
states attorneys in the rate cases and
Attorney General Simpson had held
its enactment would jeopardize the
standing of the pending suits.

The Hanson reapportionment bill

state senate so quickly that it was all
over before some of those present
knew what happened.
1t is generally understood that Gov

session to take up reapportionment
The governor has made no definite
statement, however. In reply to q d.
rect question he said:
II am satisfied no reapportionment
bill will be passed by this senate. If
it continues to appear that the pass
age of such bill now. is futile it
would be waste Of the public funds
to call an extra session."
