GOVERNORS REPORT.

JUNEAU. Sept 26. - GoveIncr Walter F. Clark's annual report has been sent to Washington In il the governor reiterateS some Of his pre- vious recommendations in regard to the needs of the country. Principal among these are better and more aids to navigation, more stringent quarantine regulations. government aid to railroads and the opening of the coal lands
 Aids 10 Navigation.
 Numerous wrecks since the time of the last report one year ago attest the nece ssity of more aid to navigation. The hazard has the ef- feet of raising rates of marine in surance. which results in an in crease of freight costs and an added burden to the cost of living and of operations in the territory.
 Railroads.
 Government assistance i'll railway building in the territory is not only proper, but necessary Without gov ernment aid, the investment in this direction will be slow, and the de yelopment of the country retarded accordingly
 Wagon Roads.
 The gain to the territory by the construction Of wagon roads and trails is so apparent that the feder- al government should have no hes. itation in continuing the work. Iarg- CT appropriations are needed to keep pace with the development of the Interior. which is now inadequately served
 Mining Laws.
 Under the general mining laws as applied to Alaska, many evils have sprung up that require correc- tion. The laws should be amended so as to prevent the location of huge areas of ground for speculation. Each 20 acres should demand s1OO worth of assessment work per year, and the period should be shortened with in which the work may be done Coal. Without permission to use the coal that exists in abundance in the territory, the development of the entire territory is retarded. Rail- ways are discouraged, and enter prises of all kinds are hindered. Cheap fuel and improved transporta- tion are equally necessary in the territory.
 lndigents.
 There is no provision in Alaska for the unfortunate indigents, and in many cases resort Is taken to formal arrest by the marshals. which is unpleasant and humiliating The government should make some allot- ment for such persons, say five per cent of all revenues that go into the Alaska fund.
 Quarantine.
 The smallpox scare along the up- per Yukon and on the Porcupine cali attention to the need of some legal means for enforcing quaran- tine. Such regulations are necessary in all parts of the territory, where diseased natives mix freely with the white people The natives should be policed with view to compelling tions.

ing the lines but it will be seve-

Whoever sent that message to

a little. 1t is true some damage
was done the local phone system

the statement. In fact the lines
were in operation before the

Washington, D. c., May 49,
The republican senators failed to
|elect a president pro tempore of
that body today, but will resume
the fight of ballots Monday. It
is impossible to proceed with the
debate on the bill before the
body, that of election of sena-
tors by direct vote or any other
business until a chairman has
been chosen.
With the resignation of Will
liam D. Frye from Maine, as
president pro tempore, there is
no presiding officer of that body
in the absence of the Vice Presi-
dent. Senator Frye has held the
position as president pro tenn.
longer than any other one per-
son, he having been chosen on
December 2, 1895 at the opening
of the Gath Congress. He has
actually presided about one-half
of the time during which he has
held the Office. At the death of
Vice President Hobart, during
the Cleveland administration,
Mr.. Frye succeeded to the active
presidency Of the senate, Again
when Roosevelt succeeded to the
presidency at the death of Nc
Kinley, Mr.. Frye second time
occupied the Vice Presidents S
chair and office.
At such times the president
pro TEN. draws the salary, not
of a senator but Of the Vice
President, which was $4,000 per
annum, while that of senator
was $1,000 per annum, when
Mr.. Frye took the places of the
Vice Presidents. At present the
salary of the Vice President is
$4,000, while that of senator is

EXPECTED TO

Las Vegas, N. M. May r.
District court for San Miguel
county convenes Monday. The
most important case to come be-
fore the court will be that of the
territory against Will Rogers and
Joe Wiggins, confessed kidnapers
of little Waldo Rogers last
March. It is rumored that both
men will plead guilty and ask
the mercy of the court. If this
is true, then the sensational trial
anticipated in case a fight were
made by Rogers to escape the
penitentiary on an insanity plea
will not take place. It is likely
the grand jury's first indictment
will be against Rogers and Wig
gins. There are a few cases on
the criminal docket this term
and the session is expected to be
comparatively brief.
United States court has ad-
journed after a session of less
than a week. The grand jury
was in session three days and
returned but three true bills.
The persons indicted have not
yet been arrested, so no names

Mother Love

All that by mortal can be done,
A mother ventures for her son;
If marked by worth and merit high,
Her bosom beats with ecstacy;
And though he own nor worth nor charm,
To him her faithful heart is warm.
Though wayward passions round him
close
And fame and fortune prove his foes;
Through every change of geed and ill,
Unchanged mother loves him still.
