CALE.
The Nome Nugget printed the follow
ing during the late campaign. It is
still interesting reading, and is cer
tainly a very flattering testimonial from
the successful candidate’s old home;
Speaking of Tom Cale’s candidacy for
delegate to congress from Alaska, the
Fond du Lac (Wis.) Daily Bulletin said;
“Thomas Cale, former sheriff of Fond
du Lac county, who left here some years
ago for Alaska, has been made the
unanimous choice of the miners of the
Nome and Fairbanks districts for Alas
kan delegate to congress.
“The people of Fond du Lac will take
pride in reading this item concerning
Mr. Cale, who made one of the l>est
sheriffs this county ever had. He was
honest, and his administration has often
been referred to as one of the best of
the various sheriffs. Mr. Cale was lx>rn
in Vermont in 1848. On reaching his
majority he was a school teacher for a
time, and also served as a traveling
salesman. In 1869 he came to Wiscon
sin, locating in this county, following
the occupation of a farmer in the town
of Kden. In 1886 he was elected sheriff,
and served two years. After retiring
from office he traveled on the road for a
time, and when the news came of the
Klondike strike he was one of the lirst
to go over the trail, and is a pioneer of
the Fairlmnks district.
“The people of Fond du Lac, irre
sjiective of party, recognize in Mr. Cale
those qualities which are essential for a
successful congressman, and his district
may feel proud in sending him to Wash
ington. Eminently qualified, strictly
honest and trustworthy, it is the earnest
wish of the Bulletin and his many
friends that he may Is- successful at the
polls.”
The Daily Rejstrter, of Komi du Lae,
said:
“Thomas Calc's record as sheriff of
Fond du late county is an enviable one.
lie was supported bv l»>th republicans
and democrats, and Served all of Ids
constituents Well, showing fearlessness
in office that made hundreds id
friends for him in every township, lie
left the office with clean hands, and not
one of the voters who cast their IstHut*
for hint ever regretted the step.'"
Gold lias taught civilized men that
wherever ignorant savages can exist
enlightened people can make themselves
comfortable.
Prospectors have probably talked
“formation” ever since gold hunting
has been a trade. In Alaska many of
them are learning to look for “forma
tion” first and gold afterward. The
United Ssates geological survey is large
ly responsible for this application of
scientific principles to the business of
gold limiting.
Portland, Ore., is out for a share of
northern business, and is heartily in
earnest in the matter. Next year the
business men of that city propose to
put on a line of boats to run to Alaskan
ports. Meantime, they declare they will
now make good the difference in freight
rates between Portland and Seattle. It
is good to know that no one city has
the Alaskan trade tied.
“The Totem,” the Juneau High
School Annual, is a most creditable
publication. If the initial number is
open to criticism at all, it is because the
matter with which it is tilled has an air
of a little too much maturity about it
for a school publication. It bears evi
dence of being edited with great care.
The editorial staff is as follows: Kditor
in chief, Mary Frances Shepard, ’06;
assistant editors, Frances Hammond,
’06, and Albert Uapp, ’00; athletic edi
tor, Edward Kennedy, ’07; local editor,
Edna Dow, ’07; staff artist, Ethel Now
ell, special student; business manager,
Robert Cragg, ’07; assistant manager,
Alex Ross, ’07.
Newspaper mention has been made
of a probability that a United States
winter mail route will be established
la-tween the Yukon river and some
point on the Arctic coast, likely at or in
the vicinity of Beaufort bay. It will
scarcely be done the coming winter;
but yet events are crowding u]>on each
other so rapidly that one can not tell
what to expect. The route may very

tion in the winter of 1007-'08. It would
have been an odd kind of a dreamer
who half a dozen years ago would look
forward to a time when the Pacific and
Arctic oceans would la- connected bv an
overland mail. Now all that is needed
to turn such a dream into a quick and
practical reality is an important gold
discovery on the northern ciw»st.
MU- laics survive. Despite of Darwin*

utility to remain alive. If anything in

hints of contemporary hostile action,
that he shared the monarchical views of
Hamilton, and wished to wear the
crown himself, ridiculous and inevitable
as they seem to any competent histo
rian of the times, are enough occa
sionally to set inadequate brains in mo
tion. A treatise now lies upon our desk,
called “Did Washington Aspire to la
lying?” answering the question in the
affirmative, and demonstrating in its
pages nothing so completely as the oc
casional thoroughness of human folly.—

An extraordinary condition prevail* ]
at the town of Slocan, in the district ot
thtst name in British Columbia. The
town has Wen seized by the sheriff, i
public buildings, parks, stores and !
houses. It seems that C. K. Smither-!
Ingaie is.the owner of a lot of the Slocan 1
warrants. He was unable to collect on j
the warrants, and has obtained a judg
ment for their amount against the town.
The judgment remained unsatisfied, and
the sheriff, pursuant to instructions, bus
seizisl the town and will sell the entire
place at public auction unless the
amount owing, with costs, Is- promptly
forthcoming. The three hundred peo
ple of the burg are in an uproar at the
possibility of their losing their posses
sions, and the officials have resigned in
a Issly. The wrath at Smitberingale is
