 Capt. "Paddy" Timmons ot the gasboat Wanderer, brought over the body of Charles Lillick from Craig this morning, who vas accidentally shot and kil- led at Craig a few minutes be- fore noon, Saturday. It ap- pears that Lillick, who was the assistant forest ranger for that region, met friend or two on the street in Craig. One of the men had a shotgun in his hands which Lillick took and after eX- amning dropped the stock to the ground while holding the nluZzle in his hands close to his body. The gun was load ed, and the jar of the stock striking the sidewalk set it off, the entire charge striking the forester in the face killing him instantly. A corners jury was impannelled at once, and yer diet of accidental shooting re- turned.
 Charles Lillick at the time Ot lis death was 25 years of age, and had been in the Forest Ser vice for the last two years com ing here from Hamilton, Mon- tana. He was a steady, con- scientious young man, a total abstainer, and one who had the respect of all his associates. Every man on the West Coast was his friend, and his sudden and awful death has cast a cloud over that district. No ar- engagements have been made for the disposal Of the body, other than to notify his rela- tlves in Montana of his death>

The Princess Sophia, of the Canadian Pacific company, while running at the rate of If knot an hour, piled up on Sen- tlnel island about two o'clock Sunday morning smashing in her bows and putting her to the bad generally. Fortunately the tide was flooding at the time, so that the vessel was able to get off after two hours and proceed under her own steam to Juneau. Capt. Charles Campbell was in bed at the t'me of the accident, Pilot Har- ry Hughes being on watch. The night, while somewhat misty was not foggy, so it is difficult tc account for. the accident, as the lighthouse on the rock was not much more than a quarter of a mile away with the light shining brightly. The vessel struck so hard that her pas l. sengers and crew were thrown cut of. their beds, and of course were badly scared for a time. The vessel is fitted with water tight bulkheads, which prevent eG airy water entering her except in the one compart~ ment where the hole occurs. The ten or a dozen passengers from Skagway on board at the time were offered transporta- ton to their destinations on other lines, but decided that the ship was safe and are on board her. No other however W ere taken on board at Juneau, Wrangell or this point, and the Eoat passed on down to her destination this morning, mak- ing her regular speed.
 The Princess May of the sdme company struck in almost ihe same place in August of 1910, and remained there for close to a month.

Washington, April 1o-The nomination of Mrs. Minnie Swincford as postmistress Of Ketchikan was sent to the Sen ate today,
 The above wire speaks for laself. Mrs. Minnie E. Swine orc. IS probably known to every one in Ketchikan, and Is highly respected by all, and the appointment meets with gen. erul favor. Mrs. Swineford accompanied Mr. Swineford to Alaska in 1885 when he was appointed Governor of the Ter rtory in the first administra. CT Grover Cleveland, and re- sided at Sitka, then the cap, ital, until his resignation in 1889 when Benjamine Harrison Was elected president of the United States, when they nov ct; to Ketchikan where she has resided every since. Mr. Swine ford in partnership with lame Rice started the first news poper in Ketchikan. A firm be- lever in territorial government, all of his writings and talks were on that subject. Gov. Swineford died i'll 1909 before the fullfillment of his dreams. Al the time of his death the Governor of Alaska ordered a military funeral. He was one of the most loved men of the territory and was called the "Grand Old Man of Alaska" Mrs. Swineford has made Ket~ Ciiikan her home except for a v.sit with her relatives i'll the states since his death and for the past year or so has been the librarian in the local public lbrary.

LET US SPEND
 OUR OMN nACNE Y

Il looks as though it is the Intention of the present legis- llature, for the salmon industry to bear all the burden of maln- t;lning the government of Al aska. In spite of the fact that our canneries made compara- lively nothing last year many Of them actually losing money our legislature evidently in itcnds to see to it that the sal ruon canning industry and it a lone is to carry the load. The present government tax of four cents a case is to stay on, anl in addition, from three to el- even cents per ease is to be added, according to the grade of fish packed. This of itself wouldn't be so bad, if the money were spent to help out tiie industry from which it is collected, or if the other in dustries of the country were to bc made to do their share, but neither apparently is the desire of the greater majority of our le gislators. The greater part of the money raised is to be used in building roads in the Interior, and the second most important industry in the cOuntry-placer mining gets of scott free. On the British side of the line the placers are taxed ten per cent of their product, on this side of the line they are not only tax free, b9t we in this region must con tribute of what we have to en. able those inside to take out their product at a less cost. That they not actuated by d spirit of fairness is seen in the action of the legislature in removing the poll tax the only tax the miners and producers Have been paying, which was spent On the roads in the re zion in which they were col lected, because the imposition { f such a tax was too much for the poor, dear miners of the interior to pay.
 The matter has resolved it. self a. far as the coastal re- zion of Alaska IS concerned to inst this: If we are going to be compelled to foot the bills for the entire territory, we had better organize a territory of our own, and say how Our money is going to be spent. At the present time there are Tot to exceed six or seven members of both house of the Territorial Legislature, who are not connected directly or other wise in mining, and therefore biased in favor of that industry. Here and to the westward we have fish, the leading industry i'll volume of all Alaska, and are willing at all times to bear our share of the burdens of government. If, as the pres cnt legislature seems to think, VIC are to pay all the bills and not be allowed to say what those bills are, the sooner we place ourselves in @ position to work for ourselves the bet iter

The Chicago Record-Hearld Las the following to say of suf frage in Alaska. The only ter ritory legislature in the United States (continental) has grant, ed full suffrage to women. Why Alaska has enfranchised tile women is a question easy iD answer. It wants more of them and it's wants them on any terms. If suffrage will make Alaska more attractive to women, they can have it. Jury service is burden as well as q privilege, and Alaska ex- empts women from such ser vice. But if they shall ask for jury service, they will get t without a dissenting vote. In fact, they will get anything f they will only come and marry the miners, fishermen, pros petors, and other, who are un- animously opposed to single hIessedness. Alaska suggests Lew way of getting suffrage better way than violence. Let the women threaten to emi- iarate from states that deny them the votes to states or ter ritories that grant it. Tn this way they will get votes going and coming, as it were.
