lSTATE FINANCES.


While the Governor has no two OF
three occasions previously discussed
state finances and made answer tc
the ill-advised and unintelligent crit.
lcisms which have found their way
into partisan press, his address al
West Union Saturday night may be
regarded as complete answer. In
IL the Governor goes eXhaustively
!nto the matter Of the states expen.
ditures and shows precisely why
more revenue has been needed, and
why the tax rate for state purposes
has been increased. Z.
Til Governor might have pointed
out that his critics have been without
program; and that they have sin.
gled out not even a single appropria.
ton to which they could with pro
pricty attach their charge Of EEK
ltravagance." They have resorted tc
the expedient of repeating certain
set of figures which show that the
expenditures OF the state have grown
instead of remaining alta fixed
point.
1T would he too much to expect
from a Democratic press, dominated
by the sinister influence of Watson
and the corporations, any concession
that the increase in expenditures
had followed corresponding in
crease in the state supplemented by
o corresponding increase in the func-
lions Of the state government. The
government Of West Virginia is to-
day performing new functions and
serving new purposes; serving them
efficiently and with profit to its citi.
Gems. Yet'no intelligent person could
have considered that these new ac-
tivities could have been made posi-
BILE without the necessary increase
in the governmental expenditures.
Added to the development in this
direction has been the, necessity OF
rehabitating state institutions, for
witch the last legislature merely be-
gan making provisions. Let us turn
to the governors speech for a few OF
the figures, to illustrate the. state
ment that our need has increased

They are from Valdez and Portage Bay, on Prince William sound. from Chitina, which is connect ed with tide water at Cordova on Prince William sound by the Copper River and Northwestern railway, Sew ard and from Ship Creek on Cook h. let, all to the Westward, and from Haines on Lynn canal.

YUKON RATE WAR
 HAS BEEN SETTLED

The Yukon rate war has been set tied by mutual agreement between the Northern Navigation company, the White Pass line of steamers, and the Side Stream Navigation company. Capt Hill Harrington of the latter com pany is aboard the Humboldt enroute to Lower LeBarge. Speaking of the outlook for the season last night, Capt. Harrington said: "The disastrous rate war has been settled and the outlook for increased business is good. l am taking in a new gas boat which we will put together on Lower LeBarge. This boat will be used on the White river. We already have one light-draft gasboat which has been a success. We shall operate at least one steamer dur ing the summer and if conditions war rant. we will put two in commission.
 Capt. Harrington is accompanied by Mrs. Harrington. They have spent the past winter travelling about California and old Mexico and have had de- lightful time. Capt. Sid Burlington will come North within the next ten days. Capt. Harrington is also taking au automobile for George Coffee Of Dawson.

SEATTLE CHAMBER OF
 COMMERCE DID WELL

"The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce did more than all the other influences put together, aside from the President and Secre- tary of the interior to create the ma jority received by the Alaska railroad bill," said c. F. Cheek, yesterday, who recently returned from Washington. "The exhibit of Alaska's resources which was in the Senate office build ing was more eloquent than speeches. It was absolutely convincing. Then the members of the bureau, including Charles G. Heifner, Secretary McPher- son, Will H. Parry, Falcon Joslin and others, were at work all the time mak- ing friends for Alaska.
 That they were working for Seat tie while working for Alaska they frankly admitted. but their work was of that public spirited selfishness that counts for community building"

 INTO SEATTLE HOTEL

Letters received from Senator Con. rad Breeding convey the information that he has purchased a half interest in the Hotel Barker at Pike street and Sixth avenue. Seattle. The other part ner in the business is c. O. Walston, an experienced hotel man.
 The Hotel Barker, situated in the retail section of Seattle. is a modern establishment, and for several years has been a popular place. The build ing belongs to the Frye estate which also owns the Hotel Frye building and the Hotel Stevens building.
 Senator Freeding's wide acquain- tance and popularity in the North should be valuable asset to the hotel.

soclallst Ticket
For School Board

or the seven Councilmen elected. five were on the Citizens ticket and two were on the Peoples ticket. Will liam Geddes is the only member of the present City Council of the three who had places on the Citizens tick ct. who was reelected He beat out E.. Valentine. the third high man on the Peoples ticket. by the narrow margin of eight votes. Mayor c. w. Carter on whom the hardest fight was made by the opposition was low man on the Citikens' ticket, but he defeated the lowest man on the Peo- ple's ticket Councilman w. H. Case, the other defeated candidate on the Citizens ticket was only 31 votes be- hind Mir. Valentine.
 Mayor Carter and W. Fl. Case sui iered from the bitter campangn that was conducted against the old Council, and they largely were victims of mud throwing. They. also. were cut by those who differed with the judgment of the old Council in any of it's poli- ces, and all those with a grievance, real or imaginary. The personal pop ularity and known worth of F. Vol land. George F. Miller and other can didates on the Peoples party ticket added to the effectiveness of the cam paign against them.
 One Of the surprises was the poor showing made by the Socialists. The vote was not so large as that of a year ago. and not half so great as many believed it would be. There were many split tickets cast late in the day and these votes were largely divided between the high men on the Peoples ticket and the leading candi- dates on the Socialist ticket This vote was the first to be canvassed and the early returns seemed to indi. cate that Valentine and likely four others on the Peoples ticket would win, but when the vote. which was cast early in the day, was reached there was a decided change and the Citizens ticket began a steady gain that never ceased until the end of the counting, and five of its candidates were beyond the danger line.
 The contest between W. w. Casey and Mrs. Lula B. Thompson for clerk of the schol board was a pretty fight during the early part of the canvas, but Mir Casey toward the last began a gain that did not cease until he bod o wide margin.
 The interest in the campaign was attested by the fact that hundreds of people remained up until after the bal lots were counted. early this morning,

.PRESBYTERY HONORS
 JUNEAU PASTOR

Rev John B. Stevens. pastor of the Presbyterian church. of Juneau, was this morning chosen as ministerial commissioner from the Presbytery of Alaska to the General Assembly of the church which will convene in Chi cago May 21.
 Dr. John L. Myers, of Ketchikan' was elected lay commissioner to the General Assembly.
 Rev. Frederick Falconer, of Kluk' wan was selected as the alternate min. isterial commissioner and Prof. w. G. Beattie, of Juneau, as alternate lay commissioner.
 Washington Synod Coming to Alaska
 The Washington Synod, of the Pres byterian church, to which Alaska Is attached, will convene this year in August instead of May, as usual, and will charter Q steamer and hold ses- sions while making a round trip through Alaska waters. Rev. Freder. ick Falconer, of Klukwan, was chosen delegate to the Synod. Other pastors of the church will accompany him on the trip.
 Interesting Popular Meeting.
 The popular meeting of the Presby. tery at the Presbyterian church last night competed with the Juneau nun icipal election as an attraction, and there was small attendance, though the addresses were greatly enjoyed. Rev. Edward Marsden. of Ketchikan discussed "Evidences Of Christianity Among the Natives" and Rev. David Waggoner, of Klawock, Phases and Problems of Native Work"
 New Pastors Coming.
 Two new men will join the Presby- tery of Alaska soon. Rev. E. l.. Win terberger, for eleven years pastor of the Faith Presbyterian church of Chi cago, is coming to Alaska to become pastor of the church at Haines, sue ceeding Rev Allen Mclean. Rev. J. N. Coker, of Hale Centre, Tex, is coming to institute a new work for the church at Craig.
 Yesterdays Proceedin9s'
 The Presbytery of Alaska met at two o'clock yesterday afternoon in regular session and heard the reports of Rev. David Waggoner on the work at Hydaburg, and Rev. Edward Mars. den on the Kasaan field. There are no regular members in these places or on Prince of Wales Island and these men, while living in other towns, d. rect the missionary activities at Fly daburg and Kasaan through Native laymen.
 Hydaburg is on the lower end of Prince of Wales Island and was founded three or four years lower end of Prince of Wales Island and was founded three or four years ago by Native Hyda Indians from Howkf.n. Klingnan and other villages under the direction of the U. S. Bu- reau of Education. It has now one of the best school buildings and well or ganized school work throughout the whole Territory. The government has all the industrial work in hand, and the religious part of the place is left entirely in the care of the Presbyter- ian chuhch. The report of Mir. Wag. goner shows that the Native Indians, if properly advised and directed, can do many good and useful things for themselves and the country.
 The Presbyterian church at Kasaan under Mir. Marsden's direction through one Native layman, is also doing a good work. The people erected their own church building few years ago without any outside aid, and they are today among the most progressive Indians along the coast.
