n Saturday Night Race.

saturday night a race between one
)of the young merchants of the city
and would-be thief was the chief
attraction of number of persons
who were on the street sometime be-
tween and 9 o'clock.
The thief was Albert Farmer. q ne
gro who was recently released from
the county jail on the recommends
tion of the grand jury because of the
fact that he was supposed to be trou-
bled with tuberculosis. but since
which time he has been up before the
recorder on other charges and it
seems has not had sufficient punish
ment yet.
Tie was seen by Mr.. Eugene Nc
'Collum as he started out the store
with pair OF trousers under his arm.
Mr., McCollum stopped him and told
him to give up the trousers. but Far
mer ducked and ran, leaving his coat
ana 4 package containing a shirt in
Nr. McColum's hands. The race
then commenced and went down Main
street at rapid pace for several hun
drcd feet when Farmer dropped the
stolen trousers and made Il sudden
dive through one OF the stores into
the back l"t. Mr.. McCollum got all
of his goods back and some that the
negro had left hut Farmer had not
called Tor them at last accounts.

MAIN CHANCE FOR THE DEMOCRATS

But twentv-tlIca day. remain between and
tile date for the meeting Of the Republican national
venton Chicago. In just month, with the opportunity
take advantage of any mistakes the Republicans may
make the Democrats will meet at Baltimore and name a
candidate before the people with the conditions more
favorable than at any time since Clevelands
nomination twenty years ago
From now to the party nominations and from then to
the elections American politics will be the most interesting
theme the world With Roosevelt strongest in the esti-
nation of the Republicans at large Taft backed by the
party machine will probably be nominated. In that
there be a demand for Roosevelt to in
dependent ticket Taking the character of the into
account it is hard to persuade ones self that he would
fuse. Whether he would or not there would still remain a
tremendous number of Republicans disloya to Taft who
vent it.
SO far has appeared the surface there is nothing
denote serious trouble il the Democratic ranks No dis
cord has shown that could not be eliminated by the nominal
ton Of Champ Clark Just it not only appears that
he is the most likely to be nominated, but the
who command the largest vote Granting that the
Labor vote and the Socialist vote large and uncertain
factors, normally leaning to Republication, it still seems
that the Democrats due to win, whether the Republic
go to election with two candidates
Looking at it in this light the field of politics looms
bigger than before If the Democrats do into
power they will face to face With problems that will
tax their capacity the utmost and it will depend upon
how they them whether they will guide the destines
of the country for long period of time quickly pass

BARNEY HkGERTY
ON LITTLE DELTA

Barney Hagerty, interested on Will
low creek and we'll known throughout
The 6itarod, was one of the small num-
Der Of passengers to arrive on the Little
Delta Wednesday morning. He came
from Tanana, or Fort Gibbon, where
he had gone to obtain medical attention,
and was SO run down that his friends
did not recognize him.
MIR. Hagerty has been prospecting
the past winter on the waters of the
Little Melozi river, in what is known
as the Gold Mountain district. He
was associated with Henry Wallck, of
the Hot Springs country, who is also
well known in Idisarod. They spent
part of the winter on Hudson creek,
where S. r. Hudson has been working
for the past several years, and cross
cut that creek without very favorable
results. Several months ago Mr..
Hagerty was attacked by what APP
peared to be an ordinary case of
pleurisy, but it hung on and grew
worse till he had to 60 to Gibbon to
consult the post doctor.
He says there have been no i'm.
portant developments in the Gold
Mountain region. There is probably a
little low-grade pay on Grant creek
and its tributaries, but that is all.
Fair prospects have been found over
large area, but there appears to be
too much slide schist and the gold is

iDirARoo PIONEER, SATURDAY EVENING u.s.
JUDGE (;USHM|l[AN
GETS PROMOTION

Under Washington date of Nav 3
the Pioneer received message by
wireless, reading: "Cushman confirmed
no appointment fill Alaska vacancy"
1t was taken to mean that Judge Ed
ward Everett CuShman, district Judge
for the Third division of Alaska, had
been appointed to some position out
side the territory, and it was thought
probable that Judge George Donworth
had resigned the position of United
States district Judge for the Western
district of Washington and Judge
Cushman had been promoted to that
place. This proved to be the case, but
at the time no opportunity offered to
verify the facts; so the matter was
allowed to go over.
1t was of general knowledge that
Judge Donworth had it in mind to
resign. This week from private sources
it was learned that he had done so and
that Judge Cushman had been selected
to fill the uacancy. The appointment
is in the nature of a raise to higher
hOnors f0, the ALASKA Judge
Judge Donworlh was for several
Years associated with Samuel H. Piles
