SHERIDAN POST DISCUSSES
KENDRlck.

In the dcpires to serve their mas
ter and further their policy OF rule
or ruin, the Kendrick newspapers
o~vershoot the mark. Their apparent
theory is hat the people are all fools
and in this day never made a graver
mistake.
In due time the people will pass
Judgment on the political situation In
wyoming and 1t will be discovered
that the historical outbreak against
the congressional delegation. and cs-
pecially against Senator Warren. by
the Kendrick newspapers, will not de-
feat Warren nor carry the election in
Hendricks interests.
Personal abuse does not 10Y and
never has answered the purposes of
argument. Such methods are better
treated with silent contempt and
come un~bearable, and fair warning
should be taken that falsehood, moral
assassination and billingsgate will not
always go unchallenged, and II nothing
else will satisfy the promoters CT

pers on the other side.
So far as the Post is concerned It
will consistently refuse to employ the
tactics Of the papers of the opposi-
ton. ani of Sheridan Downcy. It does
not object in the least to legitimate
political war. as war goes, but 1t does
not believe personalities constitute
the proper ammunition.
Democratic papers are within their
very proper rights when supporting
Mr.. Kendrick and the entire Demo
cratic ticket. but they are not within
their rights when they malign and
yilify honorable men who have and
are rendering services to the people
of the state simply because they are
Republicans n az such opposed to
Democracy generally.
1t is easy enough to understand
why outsiders should attack our rep.
resentatives. and because of the In

delegation at the national capital 1t is
net surprising that intense Jealousy
has been excited In some OF the older
states. and that certain of their peri

because Of its libelous nature, and
discusses his reasons for supporting
our congressional delegation in a most
logical and forcible manner. In con.
clusion this paper says:
Then there is another side to this
matter. Up to the present time the
enemies Of Mondell and Warren have
merely been trying to stir up an op-
position to these men. They have of
fered no substitute. We would like to
know what the alternative is before
we work against men who have admit.
tedly done more for the state they rep
resent than ninety per cent. of the
members ever do. Perhaps IL we
know just who we were working for
when we attacked Mr.. Mondell it
might make q difference. Would the
other be a bcttcr man or would it be a
case of jumping out of the frying pan
into thef fire. There is no man SO good
but what one might be better. no man
so smart but what n might be
smarter. We think Mr.. Mondell has

have for thcirr, but II a man is put
forth by the Democrats, or by any
other party. whom we believe will
serve the people better then we will
use our influence to procure his cleo
ton. We believe in construction, not
destruction, in politics as well a. in
other things.
I'VE have eason to believe that a
majority of our readers are Demo-
Gratis, but we also believe that prac-
tically all of them will vote for the
reelection of Warren and Mondell this
fall, unless some man Of exceptionally
high character and large capability is
run on the other ticket.

resolution instructing the secretary to
communicate to Mr.. Mondell and Mr..
Warren the appreciation OF the asso.
citation for the good work they have

beneficial land laws, and to pledge to
these gentlemen the support of the as
ISOLATION in the coming campaign.
Perhaps the Democrats IN other
parts of the state do not feel the same
toward these gentlemen as the people
OF this locality. but we do not think
that an attack upon Senator Warren

! CONGRESS
 HAS ADJOURNED

Washington, Aug. 27-The second session of the Sixty-second congress adjourned yesterday afternoon at half past four o'clock, and the members have all hurried to their homes or to their political head quarters, or wherever they are in the habit of spending their time between sessions.
 The general deficiency bill, also the LaFollette resolution asking for a continuation of the campaign fund probe has gone over; the bill until the next session of congress and the probe resolution until about the first of October when the board will meet to take up the Penrose-Archbold hearing, which will probably in clude the examination of Roosevelt, Cortelyou and others of more or less prominence in politics.

CONCERT TONIGHT
 BY TALENTED VOCALIST

Hiss Helene J. Sloane has been engaged to give a popular concert at the moving picture hall tonight and cones to Skagway with the highest of references. The lady has enter tained large audiences in most of the cities in the southeastern part of Alaska where the press has spoken highly of her talents. A dramatic critic writing for the even ing Index at San Francisco. says this Of her: Miss Sloane sings with dramatic fervor in the arias from grand opera in which she is at her best. Her voice. besides being full of melody, is of remarkable range. the richness of the low tones and extreme clearness of the high tones being fully demonstrated in all her numbers" She recently appeared in Juneau where she was evidently highly appreciated. judging from the following which is taken from the Daily Dispatch:
 To Miss Helene J.

When recalled to the stage at the conclusion of each number, the graceful bows to the audience were not enough. The singer would be forced to respond by singing at least a strain of the number ap- plauded.

The governor has not answered the courts request for the substitution for an outside jury and it Is uncertain whether the jury win be drawn from Los Anee- les or not.

SKAo'IAv " OUT
 AtIER 5NEL1ER

On Saturday, August 17. the Klondike was sweet sixteen. The day was celebrated in Dawson with a lot of high jinks and a gathering together of all the old sourdoughs shat could be rounded up. Speak ing of the gold output Of the dis trict. which embraces Skagway, the News has this to say:
 One hundred and sixty-nine million dollars-sueh. in round numbers, is the yield in virgin gold by Yukon Territory and the small neighboring camps during the period since gold was discovered in the upper Yukon valley.
 And the best of these glad tid- ings is that the placer gold output Of Klondike and the Yukon is in- ereasing steadily every year.
 The Klondike camp, having a ra- iius of not to exceed 100 miles, last year alone produced more than S4,- 900. .000, and this year, according to the present pace, win yield $5,Ooo,- 00O. This means leap upward by the old camp Of cool one million dollars in one year.
 The future of southern Yukon never before had such a brilliant tint as now. From the Pueblo mine, seven miles from whitehorse, the Atlas Mining company is shipping 100 tons of ore daily, and General Manager Greenough says the ship ment will be increased to 1000 tons day in short time, or as soon as the railroad can handle the in creased output.
 It is believed that William B. Close, head of the firm Of Close Bro- thers. Chicago and London finan- ciers, who has just visited here, will authorize the increased facilities in the way of new rolling stock.
 Besides the work at the Pueblo, sixty men are engaged by the Atlas company in opening up and deter mining the extent of the ore bodies of three other claims, the Crater, the Best Chance and the Valerie. Excellent showings are being made. All three are of higher grade than the Pueblo.
 It is estimated 1,7OO.OOO tons of ore are in sight at the Pueblo. suf- ficent to continue shipments indefi- nitely.
 The Conrad quartz properties at Carcross are shut down temporarily. Conrad this week bought fifteen cop per. gold and silver calims in the Rainy Hollow district, not far west oL whitehorse, for SS5O,OOO,
 It is believed here that Close will authorize the construction of a smell ter before returning East. Skagway is making a pull for the shelter.

HOI-SHOTS
 THE OLD PARTIES

Terre Haute. Aug. 27-Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist nominee for the presidency was yesterday officially notified of his nomination. Mir. Debs made a speech on the subject of the coming elections. as did the other candidates, only his differed from theirs very radically. He saw in the present split of the Republi- can party a considerable gain for socialism. He called the attention of his hearers to the claims or erookedness by the different fac tious Of the old party and showed by the example as such men as LOT inner and Archbold that the old parties were corrupt. He said that socialism would also become corrupt if the selfish competitive system was allowed to get possession of it's membership, but tht they had pro yided against that condition by re moving the incentive to steal. He believed that socialism would be a fact of this generation.
 Mr. Debs puts the hooks into the old party very succinctly by saying; The Republican party stands for things as they are. The Democrat ic party stands for any old thing. The Progressive party stands for honesty after they have stolen their progressive blanks from the Social iSts

PACKERS START
 4 FREEzE-0UT

The Alaska Packers are agin up 10 their old game of freezing out the small packers. They have cut pric- es way below the cost of production by the individual canner and the re- suit will be the total extinction of the small operator. This is a good thing for the consumer during the year of the cut, but when the big concerns get again fin control they will boost the price up to point which will reimburse them for all losses with high per cent. of in- terest.
 A recent dispatch from Portland says:
 The announcement made by the officers of the Alaska Packers As sociation that salmon prices would be numerically slashed this season is believed by students of the fish cries business to be the first gun in q probable war on independent fish packers by the Alaska Packers As sociation and the Northwestern Fish cries company.
 The prices quoted for Alaska sal mon are far below the cost of mar keting the commodity, and If the prices do not advance before the fi- hal quotations are made, several packers of small capital. but of large investment, will go to the wall.
 The following prices have been posted: Alaska Reds, tails, doz. cans $40 Medium Reds, tails, doz. cans 1.15 Alaska Pinks, tails. doz. cans .65 Chums, tails, doz cans. .. .62h

ALASKA GROWN STUDS
 GUST IMPORTED BRANDS

After the experience of dealers and housefolders with the outside potatoes which were So decidedly in- ferior this last winter, many have decided to depend entirely upon the native grown spud this coming sea- son. for they have become convinced that the tuber raised on the upland or sidehill soil cannot be surpassed
 It is true that the gardens Of the flats affected successiyely by drouth. frosts and cold weather are not looking nearly as we'll this season as they did last year, but the flats at best are not adapted to the growth of potatoes and their pro duct never rompetes with the Out side product.
 On the hillsides a different state of affairs is found, for the gardens there are apparently just the same as in other seasons and will pro duce the same high class potatoes.
 The present indication is that the potato crop from the hills to the north and the upper Panama will be as large and probably larger than last season. Fairbanks News-Miner

Forest Lands Owned by the state
of Maine.


A recent item in the Bangor Com
mercial' of Maine states that Land
Commissioner Mace has just turned in
to the treasury of that state $18, 252. So,
received for the sale of stumpage and
rentals from the reserved school lands
of the plantations and townships. 1t
appears that the State of Maine has
widely retained control of sixty-nine
different tracts of thousand acres each
in as many unorganzed sections of the
state, the timber land to be available
for school purposes as soon as the town.
ships are settled.
The article referred to does not state
whether this land is being handled on
forestry principles with the idea of
obtaining permanent income, but it
suggests what a splendid thing it would
be for Vermont to own similar tracts in
the Green Mountains, which could not
only safeguard the states scenery, but
furnish excellent examples of forestry
to the private owners, and, last but not
least, yield permanent income to the
state. Forest land properly managed
should yield permanent net income of
from 81 to So an acre, so the revenue
from tracts of 10000 acres might be
expected to range somewhere between
$3.50, 900 and $500, 900.
Of the four state forests in Vermont,
only one of them, consisting of 500
acres, the L. R. Jones forest in Plain
field, is practically self supporting and
will soon yield profit. This land with
considerable wood and lumber on it has
cost the state about SIS an acre, and il
is an admirable example of great tracts
which can be purchased at similar
price.
The fact that these lands in Maine
are to be eventually devoted to the
support of the schools reminds us that
there are in Vermont considerable areas
of school lands belonging to the various
towns. The question naturally arises
as to whether these lands are being
managed for the benefit of the schools
of the state, or of the individuals who
hold the leases. Many of these tracts
are natural forest lands, and as such
should yield permanent income of nc
little value to the towns.

recently, is one of the most generous
individual gifts ever received by an in

to the institute just at the proper time
to be of best service, as it will enable
the trustees to carry out the cherished
