 LANDS 7s POUND SALMON 

The catching of a 7s pound sal mon last Saturday by E. A. Willard furnished about an hours excite ment to members of the party coming to Skagway to attend the hearing before Hon. Edgar F.. Clark of the Interstate Commerce Com mission. NIT. Willard is the of- fiieai reporter for Mir. Clark and is m ardent fisherman.
 When about seven miles out from the old historic town Of Fort Wrangell he attached a salt herring to a hook and ran out about 75 feet of line. The bait had scarcely got into action before salmon took 1t and the fun began. Ii was 8 new experience to Willard and caused temporary nervousness, but he hung on and began pulling In. Gradually NIT. Fish tired out and was hauled alongside, where with the assistance of Mir. NJ. Kalish Of the steamship company and his attorney. Charles F. Munday 1t was taken on board and weighed, after wards being served 10 the ships guests.
 The catching Of a 7s pound sal mon is not an unusual thing in AL aska, but is revelation to eastern chechacos.

The political opposition to James wickersham have been playing a Httle game Of politics by making unaerhaudeA charges that he was opposing the establishment Of a sub-port of entry at Fairbanks The story has gained ground to tho extent that the Daily Alaskan has taken up the matter with Mir. Wick ersham to ret his public statement of the situation and yesterday we received the reply which is printed below. We also wired Fairbanks for a copy Of the resolutions passed by the commercial club in their at tempt to secure the establishment of the sub-port. which Is also re. printed
 It will be noted that NIT, Wicker sham is working for the establish ment or the port, and has got it up to the point where the treasury department only needs the recom- meudatiou of Governor clark and Collector Willis to make 1t possible.

THE PASSING OF REPUeLIcANlsM

Ten days more and this country
will see that which promises to be
one of the most disgraceful scenes
that civilization has ever witnessed.
Ten days more and the first scene in
the great act of the overthrow and
downfall of the formerly great repub-
lican party will be staged in the city
of Chicago. Ten days more and the
forces of the machine will meet those
OF the man OF "big stick renown.
Party allegiance will be forgotten, or
will be but as a slender cord at most,
that will be ruthlessly severed while
the minions of the trust fattened ben
eficiaries of republican rule will de-
eide whether william the Silent
or Theodore the Tnlker'' WHY be
chosen to act, for another four years
as wet nurse to the Infant Indus
tries"
Present appearances would indicate
that the "big stick" has been broken.
The shout of steam roller of gag
rule of ''brigandage,' has already
been raised and the man who, to
satisfy his stupendous ambition, has
sacrificed the friend and been will
ing to sacrifice the party. is even now
being swept into the final swirl OF
the convention, writhing and swear
inug and mouthing like some fear
crazed victim of Justice being forced
upon the scaffold or carried strug-
Cling to the electric chair.
Roosevelts defeat at the Chicago
convention is even now a conceded
fact. His cry of political brigandage
is but the yelp of the maddened can
inc struck by the stone cast at ran
dom into the pack of office seeking
mongrels of the same breed.
The week beginning June is. VIII
mark the final scene on what will 90
down on the pages of the political his

graceful campaign ever fought. Boo

been charged by the followers Of both

weather may affect crop conditions

a shrinkage to a point several de-

iL the bucket shops.
Dollars were made to supply our
daily waits and to earn more dol
lars. The earning capacity of a
dollar is only limited by the judg,
ment used by it's owner in investing
it. The man who uses good, sound
horse sense in seeking place for
the investment of his nest egg
may after that sit in the shade and
watch his surplus grow and the orig
inal dollars multiply in healthy
ratio.

No matter who may be the choice
of the coming republican convention
indications now point to his becoming
the leader of defeated party. The
people of this union-the voters or
this great country-it seems VIII at
last turn in revolt against the band
that has been making this nation the
subject of ridicule and unseemly jest
among the other nations of the civil
lied world. Not after nine days, nor
yet nine years, but after so long a
time that it seems beyond the ken
of living man. the public eyes are at
last open. And the defeat OF the man
Roosevelt at the coming convention
will mark the opening chapter in the
story of the deefat of republicanism
in the United States. Not the repub-
lcanism of Abraham Lincoln, but OF
the trust fostered party which has ia
