DYSON REPLIES TO CHARGES MADE
 BY CURTIS WITH GENERAL DENIAL

tory department. I asked the mayor if he had any charges to make against these members of the departments, and he said that they were incom- petent. They were receiving salaries without showing any results for the same.
 Tt seemed to the chairman that the mayor was thrusting great deal of responsibility on his shoulders, and told him l wasn't going to be used as cats paw 10 pull any ones cnestnuts out of the fire, neither would l consent to the board being used as lever to settle neighborho ood quarrels. From the first orga niza tion of the board, it was very apparent to the chairman that the mayor would clean out the department as he has threatened to do.
 Would Fire Them All.
 About week ago. just previous 70 Mir. Dolan's resignation. the mayor went into the department rooms and necause there was no one there but the clerk of the department. the mayor started in by using very rough language to the clerk. He told her that he would clean out the whole damn departments. and the board too if it was necessary. He made other statements in reference to in dividusl members of the depa artments at that time.
 When the chairman spoke to him about his actions. he went in the next day and told the clerk that he was only joking,-that he did not mean to say that Chief Inspector Dolan was taking graft but simply getting rske-off.
 Tn reference 10 the Walnut street affair. when this case was reported to the chairman by the mayor. I inn mediately went to the place in ques- tion and found that MT. Dolan had been there tine day before and had investigated this complaint, and later in the day the chairman had an interview with the owner of the place in question. Mir. Dolan being present at that time. There was no state law gives the owner the right 10 keep COWS within 20 feet of a dwelling house.
 Tt was the endeavor of the chair man to be sure that d violation had been made before taking any further action in this particular case, and He. said he would have an ordinance passed before the next meeting of the common council prohibiting any one keeping animals within 40 feet of dwelling house. This he did at the last meeting of the common coun- cil. He said nothing that would give me the impression that I was ex- pected to do it.

The Walnut Street Case.

''ln reference to the Walnut street inspection. when the mayor told the Hhairmsn that he wanted this particu- from end to end, I delivered a written order personally to the superinten- dent and work was started imme- diately. He did not say that he was in any hurry for a report on this in sPection. but he did say that he would like to sec the report soon it ready.
 The mayor charges the chairman with not keeping him posted on the doings of the department. This is ab- solutely false. The mayor has been informed in every particular He has been furnished with the records its meetings: he was handed a copy of the Walnut street survey, and every reasonable request that Mayor Curtis made was complied with as quickly as it was possible to do so.
 At the meeting Thursday night he acted more like a mad bull than a sane human being. He accused the present board of doing things that we absolutely knew nothing about and charged us with not doing other things that the old board was re- sponsible for. He was very much az grieved that certain bills had not been paid. when, in fact. there is not money in the department to pay them. and the mayor knows it. These bills were contracted by the previous board in connection with the slaugh- ter house improvement. Tn d previous conversation with the chairman the mayor admitted that these bills should not be paid until the work had been inspected and approved by the
 
 company. Yet he accuses the chair man of not being on to his job.
 What made the mayor roaring mad was to think the board would give any of its members fair trial and act justly toward such members. He objected very strenuously to the presence of ATr. Dolan at the meeting Thursday night. and also to the read ing Of a letter tho chairman received from Dr. Stockwell. former superin- tendent of the board. in commenda- ton of MT. Dolan and his work as chief inspector of the health depart ment. The letter is as follows:
 My dear MT. Dyson:
 Answering your inquiry as 10 my opinion of John A. Dolan:
 While superintendent of health. MT. John A. Dolan was first sanitary inspector and for nearly a year I had the opportunity and did observe him and his work daily. He was absolute ly faithful and loyal to the city health commission and superinten- dent of health. He was energetic, courteous and efficient. I considered him an ideal inspector and a valua ble asset to the department. Personally, I consider him to be a sincere. honest, upright man. In fact there is noth-

. Paris, Ky.-A thief who steals dia- mond rings only to return them is baffiing police here.
 Several weeks ago two diamond rings, valued at $500, were stolen from the home of Mrs Katie Wilson. Ten days ago they were returned to her mysteriously.

United States and none ever will. Nor. after the close of the present Adminis- tration, will this nation ever again adopt such an attitude.
 What the foreign press fear is the sturdy Americanism, the sincere pat riotism, and the quiet but firm insis- tence on the part of the Republican presidential nominee for the uphold ing of the constitution, adherence to the Monroe Doctrine and a careful avoidance of permanent entangling al dances, as we'll as an insistence upon such economic barriers" as shall pre- serve the economic supremacy of the United States and maintain the Amer ican standard of wages and living. But we should not be disturbed by that, for there are the very reasons which prompted the Republicans to nominate him as their candidate. The foreign press need not worry. Foreign nations will be treated fairly, al- though there many not issue from the presidential mansion so many high sounding phrases, so much sentimen- tai gush, so many glittering generali- ties which promise so much but which mean so little. Instead, the Republi- can nominee is a man of whom these lines of Beattie might we'll have been written, so apt are they in their appli- cation to him:
 Jealous, yet modest; innocent, though
 free;
 Patient of toll, serene amidst alarms; Inflexible in faith, invincible in arms

"coLoNEL DICK" COMING HOME

After an absense of some three years, General Wilds P. Richardson Or Colonel Dick" as he is affectionately known to thousands of Alaskans to whom he has become endeared dur ing his many years service with the Alaska Road Commission in the terri tory, is coming home. He calls Alas ka his home and he is regarded by Alaskans as one of them.
 From his long connection with Alaskan enterprises and intimate as- sociations with the people of the ter ritory he loves the north as one of it's sons and he has always upheld Alaska's cause wherever he has been called by his duties as an army off cer. Although on detached service for years prior to the outbreak of the late war, at the very beginning of hostili- ties he hurried back to line organiz- ation and the record which he made both in France and Siberian fields is matter of pride to Alaskans. And whenever he goes on his trip through the territory he will find old friends to greet him and welcome him back home. From Ketchikan to Nome his will be a joyous home coming.-Ju- eau Empire.

dollars for the inauguration of the system.
 4. Investigation of the commercial feasibility of smelling Alaska copper ores within the territory.
 5. The immediate development of an Alaska pulp-wood industry and ad- ditional surveys of timber and water power looking to the largest possible development of this industry.
 This tells the whole story. Para graph 1, advocates the lowering of ocean freight and passenger rates and advocates a combination which is dis tinctly against the Sherman Anti Trust Law and the Interstate Com merce regulations.
 Paragraph No. can be passed over for no matter who is vested with authority, unless the lands are thrown open to settlement and development on exactly the same plan as were the public lands of Pennsylvania, or h. diana or Nebraska, or Utah, no person possessing a knowledge of bureaucra- tic methods would ever take an inter- est in such lands or invest any money.
 Paragraph No. 3 is an excellent one, with the provisO. Routes and trails to serve the territory are alright, but not before industries are established. Routes and trails must follow indus tries. Industries will never in thou sand years follow the routes and trails, under the present bureaucratic control or even under the suggested Inter-Departmental Alaska Commit tee or Alaska Development Board.
 Paragraph 4. This is something that is not at all within the province of the government Shelters were long ago prevented from proper devel- oping the territory When some com mon sense is applied to the admins tration of territorial affairs, the smelt- CTS will of course go into the country. Thi2 paragraph is not only absurd but is rather ironicaI for smelters have been absolutely prevented from going to Alaska and one of the indus res that Alaska lost in 1906, as told elsewher in this issue, was a large smelling plant proposed for Prince William Sound.
 Paragraph No. is equally absurd. Not that there is any lack of wood pulp, but unless the forest reserves are thrown open to entry, no wood pulp manufacture would ever think of going into any big Investment under existing conditions
 The sensational feature of the re- port is that the railroad building by the government and costing to date $50,O00,0000 is not touched upon Railway and Marine News.
