The Guggenheims have, without doubt, token up the options held by them
in Broad Pass. It* no direct statement to that effect had been made there
would still be satlic ent reason for believing that the deal has been concluded.
The Guggenheims have given the rock in there a testing which has lasted
over several months and the Guggenheims never waste time over a dead one,
as anyone who has seen their work in Alaska knows very well.
The opening of the Broad Pass by the Guggenheims will mean more for
this section of Alaska than any other circumstance just now conceivable, un
less, of course, the building of the government railroad. It will give to the
railroad the tonnage which will be required in the first years of the road and
will attract a population for the fuVther development of the district.
The taking over of Broad Pass and its development would mean more,
infinitely more, than the discovery of another Dawson.
When a boom fails f » pan out as quickly at it was expected a sort of de
pression follows and people are inclined to complain. Complaining amongst
themselves might do no harm but when they complain to strangers the
news soon spreads. Bad news spreads much faster than good news as the
*‘evil which men do lives after them.”
The strike of the Welsh miners while their country is at war and in dire
need of the product of the mines sounds very much like treason, but it serves
as the shadow which coming events are casting before them. Gradually the
working people of the world are undergoing a radical change. It would be
foolish to blind ourselves to what is coming as the ostrich hides its head to
prevent the deadly hunter from approaching. In the future any man who is
not a foo! can see the sentiment of patriotism and many others abandoned
and replaced by the struggle of the under dog for his material welfare.
Patriotic sentiment one that reveals the superiority of the human soul to
that of the irrational beast but working men are beginning to look further
and are glimpsing the truth that patriotism has no more right to be limited
by geographical boundaries than it has by the desire for the welfare of the
majority of the human race.

CANCKI. \ LEGISLATIVK ACT.
Jl'NKAC.—On the allegation that
the plaintiffs have no capacity to
maintain the suit recently filed by the
First Division legislative members
and others against the Territory of
Alaska in regard to the distribution
of funds received from the sale of
forest reserve lands. J. H. Cobb, at
torney for the Territory, this morn
ing riled a demurrer which alleges
further that the complaint docs not
allege that the forest reserve from
which said moneys were derived is
situated within the boundaries of any
County, or that complainants reside in
the County whereby they or it. are
entitled to any exclusive benefit there
from.
A second point in the demurrer
reads “No facts are alleged showing
that the complaints or the people of
Judicial Division No. One are entitled
to have said moneys expended in said
division otherwise than prescribed by
i the Alaska Legislature.
Continuing the defense states “The
Court has no jurisdiction of the case
of action, in that the complainants
seek to have the Court by its decree
modify and control a legislative ap
propriation of public moneys, and
substitute such decree for the Legis
lative Act.

DAWSON.—No trace has been
found to the body of David Snygg,:
who was drowned in the Stewart
river near Rosebud slough, this
spring. Sig Olson, who was a partner
with Snygg, is in the city from Stew
art and says:
“A number of us were bringing a
raft of logs down the Stewart for the
sawmill when the raft struck a snog
at the mouth of Rosebud slough.
Dave was on the raft, and as it
struck he ran to snub the rope, but
became entangled, and it seems he
1 must have been struck by a log. We
saw him go overboard and plunge
into the water feet first. That was
the last we saw’ of him. Not a trace
has been found of his body." j
The Whitehorse Star brings out the
following bit of history: Mrs. Mc
Donald, wife of the late Archdeacon
McDonald who died in Winnipeg two j
years ago at the ripe age of 85 years,
was an arrival on Wednesday’s train.
Mrs. McDonald is a daughter of the
Peel River Indian tribe and was born
and reared in that isolated country.
She has never been at Dawson, but
had worked many years with her late
husband in the Peel and Mackenzie
river countries, the late archdeacon
beginning his work among the
Indians of the North in the year 1861,
which was fifty-four years ago. The
aged woman will stop for awhile at .
the home of Bishop Stringer in Daw
son and will later be taken over the
mountain range to the scene of her
former years. She is accompanied by
her daughter-in-law, an attractive
young woman whose husband is now
fighting for his country with the al
lies in Europe.

SEATTLE, July 7.—Clyde Morris,
a wealthy Alaska contractor and a
member of the most exclusive clubs
