(. F. WHITTLESEY
 TALKS TO JUNEAU

Charles F. Whittlesey, of the Booth Whittlesey Abstract company, Seattle, has been in Juneau for the past sever al days looking the country over, while the guest of friends in town. Mir. Whittlesey is very favorably impressed with Juneau, from the facts he has al ready gained first hand, and predicts a great future for the place-sOmething beyond that contemplated by those who are engaged in business here, and who are engrossed with the present prosperity and development.
 You people of Juneau" said Mir Whittlesey. do not realize the magni- tude of the development in a mining way that is going on about and the effect this development will have on your town. for if you did. you would straighten your streets and prepare to handle the traffic that will continue to grow heavier each year.
 Juneau is already recognized as one of the great gold mining towns of the world, but in another two years it will be known as the greatest gold mining town in the world. The millions of dollars that are being expended in the great ore reduction plants here, and the miles of development tunnels already bored into the inexhaustible ore bodies of the mountains give as- surance that the future greatness is fixed. The nature of the deposits is such that the mining industry here, becomes more the nature of manufac- turing industry with an inexhaustible supply of raw material. a ready market for the product and no fuctation in the price of the commodity marketed. This I take it is assurance of a great future
 There is another thing that will add to your prosperity if properly en- couraged Juneau is the center, I am told of a great mineral zone extend ing for more than 50 miles both north and south from the place. The town should become the trade center of this district. The fishing industry also is constantly growing to be of more i'm pOrtance, but it is now merely in it's infancy This industry should be nur- tured and guarded to the end that it becomes a greater resource. People should be encouraged to come here for investment. Holders of real estate should place reasonable values on their property to the end that money will seek investment here and help to bring about the building of a great city on this inland sea.
 'I like Juneau and like the people here. This is not to be my last visit to the place. We have heard about the great development in progress here, but one who has not been on the ground can not have a clear idea of it's magnitude and the permanency of it all.'

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Speaker Champ Clark quit the chair in the House of Representative today, and taking the floor, defended the Demo cratic caucus against Republican at tacks made against it. He said:
 This howl about the use of the caucus by the Democrats is the most idiotic thing that as ascended to Heav- en from the United States in a gen. eration. The country wants to know what Congress does, and it wants it to do what it has been promised that it will do and it does not care three whoops how it did it if it is done."

COBB ARGUES POLL
 TAX LAW VALID

J. H. Cobb, special counsel repre-
 senting the Territory of Alaska in the
 poll tax case that will be decided in the circuit court of appeals next
 month, has prepared a brief for the
 Territory in the appeal of A. B. Cal laham from the decision of Judge
 Fred NJ. Brown, upholding the validity of the act He contends that the de cision of the lower court should be af- firmed, and that the law is valid, and enforceable this year. For the pur- pose of simplifying the issues, the in junction suit that was dismissed by Judge Brown, whose order was ap- pealed from, and the criminal cOnvic- tion against Callahan for refusing to pay his poll taxes, also appealed from, have been merged, as both depend on the validity of the law.
 The contention of the plaintiffs is that the poll tax law was not intended to be enforced in the year 1913 for the reason that the time set forth in the act for the commissioners to pre- pare lists of those liable to the poll tax and to publish the notice that the tax is due had passed before the law was enacted, and, second, that the law is not valid for the reason that it i'm poses upon the commissioners the duty of collecting the taxes and the organic act prohibits any person holding a com mission or appointment under the United States from holding an office under the government of the Terri tory.
 Mir. Cobb contends that the fact that the law could not operate upon all the matters affected by it when it goes in to effect does not invalidate it as to those matters it does effect That the legislature adopted an emergency clause, he says, is conclusive that it was the purpose for the law to be- come operative this year It can cause no injury to the man whose duty it makes to pay poll tax, he urges, be- cause some of the directory provisions as to the manner of it's execution are imperative on the officials this year, and cannot in anywise affect the oper- ation of the law on them.
 Eligibility of Commissioners.
 Mir. Cobb goes into the restrictions of the organic act against persons holding a commission or appointment under the United States, also holding office under the Territorial govern ment. The distinction is drawn be- tween federal officers in Alaska per forming duties of the National govern ment such as postmasters, etc., and federal officers performing duties sole ly under the local laws, such as com and contends that the re- strictiOn is only on the former class, and does not mean that the legisla- ture is powerless to impose additional duties on the local officers.
 In justification he cites the fact that the Governor is a federal officer, and the Secretary of the Territory, like wise, and that they are also officers of the Territory. He contends, further, that the court commissioners are not federal officers in the sense that is by the organic act.
 MT. Cobb gives many precedents to substantiate his contentious.
