H*n11 is not a real repivs,mauve of'
tii, ; itorx were victims of •. isplac* '

The place to settle accounts with
Gov. ilo^-eatt is in the republican ter
ritorial convention which will meet
in Juneau a few months hence. The
governor's squad will have rite Juneau
delegation -the opposition will have,
all the rest.
It is claimed that George Washing-!
ton never told a lie. wherefore it is a
strange contradiction that the stutc of
Washington seems to generate fiction
with a facility that reduces a veteran
liar from any other state to the ama- '
tear o!a». Here is Spokane claiming ’
a population of 90,000 on the heels of;
a bitterly contested city election in '
which les> than Io.ihX) votes were cast.1 ‘
Seattle claims. although all the *
territory now camprised in it has never
polled 23,000 votes. Chicago recently
pulled in a city election a vote one- t
sixth o* a fair estimate of its popuia- }
tion. The same ratio would give j
S- t". v JoO.dOQ and Spokane t',«i,ooo,
llfylllv, which almost exactly hit the!
facts. ^l—

Mi"i 'i'; Kchoes that Alaska is very *
bad and steadily growing worse. The
territory is a little better since Kiev- •
enger left and for that reason it does
not begrudge him the acquisition dur- 1

It may be true as William Bryan ob
serves to William Hearst that the
democracy and the independence
league are traveling the same road
but it is apparent that the rails are
spreading.
Seattle restaurants raised prices
ritfht on the heels of similar action by
the Seward restaurants, which shows
the awful influence of a bad example.
Mayor Schmitz is reported to be
smiling and confident. Evidently he
thioks he iss vinning.
So the cost of living is goinjj up
with real estate in Seattle.
In Germany sound-proof building
blocks are made of a mixture of
jjypsum sawdust, coke dust or ashes.
Some chemical skill is required to
make the mixture.

BILL BUTTS SLAYS BEAR
AFTER FIERCE ENCOUNTER

Tumok after a fierce encounter in
{• '’imouy whereof he will send the
-a':; t( Si-ward. Neil Sexton sends

■ i:- an.i :he gentleman from Oloan:
•‘Tin- other ilay Butts had a very
bad accident and was just able to
travel tlds morning. Kllsworth, Butts
a:ai nivst-lf went fishing the other day
;t to a small lake back of Tyonok.
O:; the way out Butts got separated
from us and got ofT the trail. While
he was getting back to the trail he
encountered a large, hungry bear and
as he had only a pocket knife with
him tie tried to escape. The bear pur
sued him and finally overtook and
pounced upon him. After a desperate
struggle in which our friend Butts
was badly bruised and cut, he finally
sided the bear and managed to skin
: and crawl back to camp.
"Dr. David immediately dressed his
■rounds and put him to bed. Butts re
■overed rapidly and was able to travel
•cry nicely this morning.
"We are sending the bear skin to
■1. L. Whittemore to be put on exhibi
ion at the bowling alley, by re-!,
i nest of Butts.

Kept his Eye on Them
A man with a glass eye arrived in
Wonder, Nevada, recently, He had
been in many mining countries, includ
ing South Africa, where, at one timo,
lie had been in charge of a big gang
jf Kaffirs in the deep shaft of one of
the gold mines.
4iI expect to get a job here as a
mine superintendent,” he remarked,
according to the Wonder Mining News,
“but I don’t expect to have the snap I
had down in South Africa. See this
glass eye of mine? Well, when I
wanted to go up to the surface to get
a little fresh air and take a look
around, I used to put a couple of
lighted candles on a board, lay the eye
down between them and go above with
and easy conscience. Say, the way
them niggers worked with that glass
eye fixed on them all the time was a
caution.—Mining Topic.
There is a daily average of one and
one-half deaths in New York city
chargeable to injuries inflicted by
other persons.
