The duplicity of this modern so. lon is from day to day becoming more apparent. Mir. Wickersham cannot consistently plead igno rance of the existing conditions of laboring men, and the enor- nous amount of unpaid labor here, as all excuse for the abor-
 tive measure he has saddled or the Alaskan workingmen, under the name of a labor lien law.
 From his experience as a fede- raI judge on the bench in Alas ka, he was well aware of the in security of wages under the eX- isting laws in the territory; as many cases of unpaid labor were brought into his court. But when elected to congress and vested
 with full power to secure reme
 dial legislation through the enact
 ment of a proper lien law, he has
 handed the workers the spurious gold brick.
 It will be seen by a careful reading of the Wickersham lien law, that Judge Fuckers deci- sion in the Nome case is full! borne out by the law itself. The Wickersham lien law cannot be be construed to mean ar. thing else. It gives the laborer len on the dump only, ano where there is no dump the Wick ersham lien law has no effect. To hold that it is applicable tol gold taken out of the ground by a dredge and deposited ill slulce boxes, or dirt hoisted out ot Il mine into a dump box would bel something out of the law 1 that it does not contain. 1t IS not l the function of the judge to make the law. His duty is to interpret and enforce the law as it reads, 1 Therefore no blame can rightful- y be attached to Judge Tucker for his decision as it is evident 1 hat it was in strict accordance with the Wickersham lien law.
 Hereafter the only safe and sane way for a miner to do in oi Ter to insure the full collection l of his wages when the gravel l s not put into a dump, is to fol ow tho example of the landlords n town who rent houses where hey collect their rents a montb n advance. Let the miner de- nand his wages before he per 'orms the labor.

a stop to a bad prairie fire which
started near the club house of the
Mandan Gun club located on the hill
northeast of the city.

yearling heifer was shot, and split
open. Ropes and a wire from fence
were attached to the hind legs. The
carcass was. then dragged over the
