 Hour Law Fake.

The following article appear ed ill the NeMs-Miner of Fair banks, on the return of Dan DriS- coll, to the interior town.
 Dan says that every coast city is hanging on by it's eyebrows.
 Dan DriSculI. Fairbanks mcnl- Der of the first territorial legis- lature, returned home on last nights boat from the winter spent in Juneau. That he is glad to be home again ban does not attempt to disguise.
 While on the coast; Dan stud fed the conditions in. all the coast towns, and he states that. no matter how slow things have been ill Fairbanks, this city is still the best of all Alaska towns. Everywhere business and labor fields are overdone, and the peo- pie are hanging on, hoping for something to turn up.
 Juneau, ban says, while ap- bearing to be in the center of ac- tivity at present, is more over done than an other town in Alas ka. It costs so little to get into or out of Juneau that the town is crowded with idle men. Ev- cry new building which goes up there is made the home of new aaloon-they have IS saloons in Juneau now, and will increase the number to B this summer.
 Dan has lot to say regarding legislation and brought Us the completed drafts of the bills which effect this part of the ter ritory. He says the eight-hour bill was . political measure alone to advance the political interests of some of the members, and it was the joke of the session.

 Lauterbach, however, denied that he did so with any intention of bleeding them for bribe mon ey, would have accepted business from the corporations and would have appeared for them at the committee hearings and also have tried to influence represent tatives and senators by explain ing to them the effect the law would have on the industries for which he was retained.
 The New York attorney declar- ed that he was the victim of David Lamar, who had request ed him to call up the different trust magnates and represent himself as this. that or the other Congressman. and that whdn he. did so. it was with the assurance of Lamar that the Congressman sanctioned the use of their names.
