WICK FAILS TO ANSWER CHARGES
 BUT HE IS THERE WITH THE ROAST

mund Smith owns some: he is out of Alaska. Colonel Willard owns slice of stock. Nobody ever dared to call him Guggenheim man. He ships his freight on the other steamship line always.
 Bless your heart. Jim, if the editor wanted to make Guggenheim paper out of this dinky sheet he would have to support you.
 You get the next guess. James.
 Now, Jim, why did you not tell the ladies that you owned lot at the corner of Cushman and Front streets in Fairbanks, and that the building on that lot was used for a gambling house while you were on the bench. You got $40O a month ground rent, did you not? Captain Barnette. the bank wrecker, gave 1t to you. Shortly after the court head quarters was moved to Fairbanks. was 1t not? You don't care how you get your money. or your votes. do you?
 Another thing you charged Monday night was that the Prospector would wait until you left town before open- ing up and exposing your record. Did we?

Johnson says you wrote the bill-you say you did not.
 It is true you roasted the Colonel. Now, the Colonel is constructive man, and has been building up all the time, while you are destructive tearing down. The Colonel, with his little appropriation, has built some fine roads. He received the money in spite of your opposition; has spent 1t as well as possible, built as much road and trail as possible and given to all parts of the territory part of the money.

 About tho Prospeetor.
 As usual. you are wrong. Jim. You said last night the Alaska Steamship Company owned the Prospector. Guess again. Onesixth of the stock is owned by E. E. Ritchie, the hard est fighter against the Guggenheims in the north. He has had several cases against them and won. Then Elliott Stewart owns one-sixth of the stock and is director in the com pany. He is an organization union man, whose interests are in Valdez. He has the respect of every man. woman and child in the community that knows him. Then c. c. Wulff. the manager and editor, owns sixth: that accounts for one.half of the stock. Where can the Guggenheim control come in? George Treat owns some stock. and he is your friend; maybe your supporter. Charles Craw- ford has some stock and svsry dol lar he has Il inysstsd in vAidss. Ed

JUDGE AilSHiE RIGHT

Judge Ailshie in his dissenting onin-
lon concerning the intent and language
OF the state public utility law has the
concurrence of the great majority of

OF Judge Ailshie's dissenting opinion is
that 1t is inconceivable that a legisla-
ture of state like Idaho representing
republican form of government and
presumed to legislate for republican
form OF government, could have intend
ed to legalize and make possible a per
petual monopoly of any public service
IL certainly would look that way. II
this law and decision is to stand. II will
never be possible to secure a connect
ing railroad service for southern Idaho

the court, and the rule that must fol-

could absolutely monopolize the terri
tory OF the bulk of the state forever
