RENO HARD HI
 FUR THIRD TIME

Reno, Aug. 2-Reno has suffer ed again. This is the third time that calamity has overtaken the mining town within the past month. A fire came first. followed by a storm of destructive violence. and yesterday cloud burst swept over the city and surrounding country to add destruction tt an already af- flicted community.
 The lowlands are filled to over flowing and the people of the val leys have been forced to go to the hills for safety. Great damage has been done to mining property, by the destruction of buildings and the flooding Of the minea Fumes and dams have been carried away which will take months to rebuild and repair. Altogether the damage will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

sKAGWAY C|TY PROPERTY
 sOLD FUR HIGH PRICES

The average amount of taxes on each lot will be about se
 The following opinion has been secured for the Daily Alaskan for publication. It is.a conclusion de- ducted by Attorney IT. B. LeFevre after careful study of tax cases here and elsewhere:
 Congress grants title to all people who take up lots according to law in a duly recorded townsite It is a possessory right. The court of the First Division In the case of Price vs. Broadway decided that title to such property vested In the holder regardless that the Tee of the property remained with the gov ernment. The courts of the other divisions in like suits confirmed this decision. In the Price vs Brockway case. claim that the land in controversy vas not held by actual residence, but by com struotive possession in the actual maintaining of Improvements upon the land was held not to enter in- to the case. the court deciding that such constructive possession con stituted a title that could be trans ferred by deed and that such title was a vested interest good against all the world but the United States. ard as such possessory right is tangible interest transfer able by deed it naturally follows that it Is subject to mortgage and other liens.
 Congress later strengthened the position of the courts by legislation granting to the incorporated towns of Alaska the right to tax proper ty. and the government having passed the right in such matter may not recall it by selling an incre- ment which it has aliened; SO therefore mortgages and all other liens upon such property must hold until settled regardless of how or to whom the fee may pass
 Councilman Abrahams is of the opinion that the city had posses sory rights to the property and that right carries with fs the right t0 sell or mortgage, consequently the taxing prerogative is inherent.
 Councilman Bender, however. is inclined to the belief held by many that with the delivery of the deed by the government the taxes are voided. except on improved proper ty.

SENATOR BOURNE GOING
 AFTER SELIING'S SCALP

Portland, Aug, 2-Jonathan Bourne, Republican Senator from Oregon, announced today that he intended to make a fight for re- election. Senator Bourue's term Of cffice expires next March He is one of the noted public men Of the country, During the recent primary election in Oregon he remained In Washington paying no attention to his political fences here. The re- suit was that Ben Selling a middle Of the road progressive" somewhat less radical than Mir. Bourne sue ceeded in carrying off the nomina- ton.
 Mir. Bourne was born in New Bedford, Mass, tn 1855. He travel cd around the world, studied law and settled in Portland in 1878. He is now president of the Bourne Cotton Mills at Fan River. Mass He attended as delegate the Re- publican conventions of 1888 and 1892. and was formerly a member of the Oregon legislature.
 Selling. who wrested the primary election from him, was formerly president Of the state senate, is an active politician. He claims. credit Of being one of the originators Of the Oregon idea" embodying the principles Of direct legislation and endorsed 10 a certain extent Sem ator Bourne's idea of direct lpri- mary for presidential candidates.
 Oregon is looking forward to an interesting political contest between the two.

With W. ". Bougbton, city trustee. acting as auctioneer, some thing over l5O lots belonging to the municipality Of skagway were yesterday offered to the public and sold to the highest bidder At two o'clock in the afternoon the sale opened and the bidding began Among those who took the most active part ln the bidding were President Dickeson of the White Pass. Judge IT F. BeFevre, Alder man Phil Abrabams, F. D. Kirmse, Dr. Brawand. Tony Dortero, Geo. Dillon. S. 1T Yeomans, T. c. Flah- erty and others. The best feeling prevailed and the bidding was spirited, many Of the lots going at higher value than would have obtained at private sale
 The property thus transferred represented the unclaimed lots which reverted to the city in the process Of abandonment and neglect on the part Of claimants to pay ac- cumulated taxes.
 Some surprise was manifested at the activity Of bidding by the rep. resentative Of the railroad, over forty lots being purchased by NIT. Dickeson. both for the railroad and for individual speculation. Mr. Dickeson says that Skagway prop erty at the present valuation s a good buy, and the simple fact that he purchased property all over the city would indicate that he had an inside knowledge Of coming events that will doubtless have the effect of stimulating valuations
 After making out the deeds which will probably take two weeks Mir Boughton win file a complete report of the proceedings in Wash iugton from whence he will receive regarding the disposi- ton of the money obtained by the sale. The residue over and above the expense of advertising and con ducting the sale will doubtless be turned over bystle government to the municipality for school pur- poses. though there is nothing of- iicial to indicate that such will be- the case.
 The question of the settlement of back taxes which have accrued on the property is a matter that has come up for discussion. some con tending that with the transfer of the property the title surrendered by the government constitutes wiping out of the indebtedness. This view however Is disputed.

neither the harbors tributary to th"
 coal fields. nor any other harbors iu the territory, have been mono poIized, or even threatened by any persons seeking exclusive privileges.
 The truth Is that no transportation monopoly has been created. The

able to any plan upon which the authorities at Washington may agree. With the majority now the desire is not to dispute as to just how the fuel and transportation questions should be settled but that those questions be settled some how and quickly.
 The larger measures those per- taiuing to the coal lands and to transportatiou-are now. as they have been for too long the subject of much difference or opinion. It is not necessary to decide which Of these subjects Is the more i'm portant; both are vital. The coal is worthless without railroads to trans port it: the railroads would be far less profitable without the coal for. tonnage as we'll as for engine fuel IT one must choose, the transportation question is probably the more vital or the two; but mo- lody doubts that the settlement or either will lead speedily to the set clement or the other.
 President Taft has endorsed the proposal ct Secretary Fisher that at least one trunk line of railroad, tapping one or the principal coal fields and connecting one of the uaviEable rivers with tidewater. be built by the federal government.
 Ny own opinion is that many or those persons who arc opposed to government ownership and oper- a'iou of railroads. on general prin- clples. may look with complacency upon the building of a government road tn Alaska, iu consideration Of the special conditions there, sspec- tally if it be decided that the gov erument shall leave the operation og the road to a private company under the terms of @ lease accept able to the government and calcu- lated to conserve the interests Of the public. Federal aid for the Of railroads has been extended in various forms. notably in the form Of land grants and by a guarantee of interest on bonds of indebtedness within certain maximum lit per mile 1T the gov erumeut itself should build the mai. trunk line tn Alaska and then lease the line to an operating com pauy. the cost or construction might reasonably be regarded as another form Of federal assistance for such construction, not differing in the first principle from a land grant or an interest guarantee.
 With the interests Of the public must be regarded as paramount, it is well to bear in mind that a due regard for the rewards which cap italzed enterprise is entitled to ob- tain from its operations must he observed iu the framing of any coal land laS for this territory.

STARS" LOSE EXCITING GAME.
Alumni Basketball Five Defeated by
Hioh School IS to II.

The high school basketball season
came to close Thursday evening when
the nigh hos! SIC defeated the "All-
Stars" an aggregation Of former high
school men. in the most exciting and
closely played game of the season. The
game was the most rapid exhibition of
basketball seen in the city for several
wears. and was made unusually excit-
ing by the strong partisan feeling
shown by the large crowd present.
There was tendency among the play
ers to rough it at times. bat the game
was free from any serious infringe
ments upon the rules.
During the last period the lead was
exchanged by the teams no less than
four times. and the game was in doubt
to the very end. The "All-Stars' were
handicapped by the failure Of one or
two of the players To appear and by
illness of two others. Their lack OF
condition also proved a factor in de-
Gliding the game.
Harry Wilson, captain Of the All
Stars" was the star of the game Tie
