GOVERNOR CLARK
 ON JEFFERSON

Gov. Walter E. Clark, accom- panied by his wife, arrived up on the Jefferson, after several months spent in Washington in the interests of legislation for Alaska. To the Miner man he stated that probably more di- rect legislation had been so. cured this last winter and spring for Alaska than ever be- fore in twice the same length Of time. The Territorial Gov ernment bill will not be able to get through the Senate al this time is his opinion, and action along that line in the future will depend almost en- tlrely upon the result of the coming national election.

hARRAlS MAKES A
 TELLING TALK

Martin Harrais, one of the candidates for delegate to Con- gress on the Democratic ticket, spoKe to in the neighborhood of 2OO people at Cross Picture Show last night. The talk was a plain talk, delivered in a very ordinary manner by an ordinary man, and still, so sincere and candid was Mir. Harrais that he made a good impression even among the other wing of the Democracy, who are opposed to him. He told how he was nom mated, and then proceeded to that the three men now nomi- mated, and then showed of the voters in opposition to him are all lawyers, and either residents outside the country or nominated by people who were living outside the terri tory. He styled himself a "roughneck" with residence of close to fifteen years in the north, during all of which time he had been worker. The great question to be decided at this time as he sees it is wheth- CT the lawyers of the common people should govern.
 He told how in his youth he had been a ship carpenter, and how, when ordered by the con- struction boss to hew to a line along a timber, he had done so, and promised that when elected to represent Alaska in Congress he would hew to the line in the same way on the orders of his bosses, the common people of the north.
 Mir. Harrais will be passen- ger to Seattle on the first boat down, and will return to take up his campaign work within the next week or two.

The Grand Jury which com pleted it's labors in the District Court Monday evening, was one that has made a new record for fairness and sober judgement for Grand Juries in this region. Too. often the tendency of a grand jury is to shift the re- sponsibility of case to the trial jury, and lot it go at that. At best the manner of conducting a grand jury, with the prose- cution having the field all to itself, and the accused often- times in absolute ingorance that a case is pending, is un- American, and in many instan- ces unfair. This grand jury, as shown in the comparatively large preparation of "not true bills" they returned, evidently had mines of their own, and were not swayed too easily by the opinion of prosecuting at torneys office and the decis- ions of the commissioners in the preliminary hearings. This is as 1t should be, they were re- presentative men, and as such were free to act as their judge ments warrented. But at the same time, one can not but de- eide that a system which holds a man in jail five or six months perhaps, and then turns him out without the opportunity Of facing his accusers, is rotten and should be remedied.

AT THE DISTRICT COURT

The Grand Jury this morning brought in true bills against John Scanlon and John Dillon each. charged with furnishing liquor to natives, and not true bill against James Joseph charg ed by F. E. Hagler with perjury,
 Attorney Bayless, represent ing c. M. Summers, stated that Attorney l.. P. Shackleford, in charge of the Summers case had, on account of sickness, been unable to catch the Jeff ferson, but would come on the City of Seattle, and asked that the case be continued until his arrival. United States AttOr- ney Rustgard objected to the delay on the ground that Shack leford had not shown due dili- gence in getting here. Bayless stated that MT. Shackleford had met with an accident in New York city which had laid him up for two days, and which was
  responsible faP the delay at this time. Judge asked If tte local attorneys retained on the case was ready for trial, and Chas. Ingersoll, who with c. H. Cos. grove had been asked to appear. stated that as yet they knew nothing of the case except Tn a general way and so simply could not take hold of it. The court then stated that in his opinion the attorneys were not really entitled to a continuance, but that he would grant it until the arrival of the City of Seattle on Friday, at which time, irres- spective of whether MT. Shack leford was on board or not, the case would 80 to trial and ad- yised MT. Bayless to get in touch with his partner without delay by wire and so inform him.

PACKERS HAVE NO
 CAUSE TO WORRY


 Ia great deal of late and looking very wise when the subject of canned salmon is mentioned i'll their presence, seeming to be imbued with the idea that mon- ey is going to be lost in the salmon canning business this year owing to over production. The following by Griffith Dur ney, of San Francisco, perhaps as good an authority as there is on the coast, completely does away with any such idea:
 q have visited every large city of prominence from San Francisco to Boston and from Duluth to Louisville, and in no place did l find a jobber or deal CT who is earring any more AL aska salmon than he will re- quire to carry him until next seasons pack arrives. In fact buyers in many cities are run ming low on Alaska red and will not have sufficient to carry them. AS the trade is aware, this is the shortest year in four on sockeyes. What few will be packed will be. principally put up into one-half tins, for which there. is a tremendous demand from both England and the United States. It is hardly likely that the Columbia river people will put up as much as they did last year, for the reas- on that last year they had little or no competition from the freezers and cold storage men.
 "This year, I am informed, the cold storage people will want. all the large chinooks they can secure, hence the pack of Columbia river chinooks will be nowhere near as large as last year, and these will be pack ed principally in flats and halves.
 "The only high grade salmon that will be packed to any ex- tent i'll tails will be the Alaska red fish, and while 1t Is possi- ble the price will not be as high as $1.G0, every jobber to whom I have spoken agreed with me that the logical price for the 1912 pack of red Alas ka is $1.5O.
 "Stocks of pink salmon are in good supply everywhere, but not heavy enough to cause any worry or annoyance. The we'll posted dealer realizes that out of 3,000,00O cases of pinks and humpbacks packed last year 100000 cases were put up in the Puget Sound alone. As the Puget Sound humpback run only in alternate years, not a case of humpbacks will be packed this season on the sound; therefore, the pack will be curtailed at least 100000 cases.
 "While it is true that a num- Der of new canneries will oper- ate in Alaska this season, they will not increase the pack in that section to any extent. Most of them propose locating at no''nts close to existing can- neries. and this will have the effect of merely curtailing the pack of the cannerles already there, My advice to the trade is not to sacrifice their pink salmon. AS you know pink is the only fish that can be re- tailed at 15 cents per can now, and I anticipate practically an entire cleanup in the market on pink and that the price of the 1912 pack will be as good

w. F. Thompson the pioneer

ter an Outside sojourn lasting several months, has returned direct from Washington. In the News Miner he airs his views and opinions, based on
 such information as ne was ab-
 le to glean at the capital and
 elsewhere, regarding the out.
 look for Alaskan legislation.
 The net result of his conclus- ions is stated thus:
 "Alaska is being turned over to the theories of the United States as a preserve upon which to try out their theories.
 The title deeds which give the
 theorists Alaska as their very own are now being prepared ill
 Washington, and before thp present session of congress ends they will be in complete possession of all the resources |of Alaska and will be backed by the money of the UniteN States to try their theories out lon the dog" Alaska is the dog. Last year saw the coal, timber and hot springs of Alaska with drawn from entry bv the peo- pie of Alaska and turned over to the conservationists This year will undoubtedly see ada ed to the list of Alaska re- sources which have been cor served all the natural gas. I and all the MINERAL WEALTH of Alaska-before the end of the year the bill will have passed congress which will rcmove all the placer and other mineral wealth from the possibility Of acquisition by the prospeL:ors and miners of Alaska. Title to our placer and hanlHrock min eral resources will rcr,ain ves- ted in the government of the United States, and no man will be able to get patent or title to any mineral ground he discov- CTS and seeks to develop. This does not sound reasonable to us people in the North, but our inquiries in Washington. n. c. indicate to us that this is just what is coming to Alaska, and we cannot see how Alaska can possibly escape the program which is before congress today as to the future conduct of AL aska's affairs and resources"
 MT. Thompson talked with chairmen of committees, head of departments, and high-ups of every description. Mot a thing that is proposed sounded good to us, and we did not he's itate to say so" is the way he puts 1t.
 "Why don't you try this new theory of the conservation of undiscovered mineral wealth out upon Nevada, Washington, Oregon or Montana, where tlc poor prospector can walk out of the country if he didn't like ii? ?" we asked. "It's too late," answered the attorney-general
 "rhey woulden't stand for it." And then he laughed, as much as to say that Alaska couldn'3 help itself. "Did you ever hear or know of a country that had been developed except upon it's own resources we asked them all, and their answer was that the government woul'l have to develop Alaska-that when such issues as cOnseryat- ion and government ownership had obtained the following which they have in the United States, no political party could afford to stand in their way, es- peCially upon the eve of a nat-
