NOf PLEASED
Seattle Paper Disappoia'ed
la Presid^ut's linage
(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
There is a r.-ason for disappointment
that the president is not more emphatic
in his recommendation as to Alaska.
It was hoped that a president of the
sturdy democratic Americanism of
President Roosevelt would recognize
and condemn in an outspoken way con
ditions under which 60 000 white
American citizensof the finest type ara
deprived of every vestige of self
government: and that he would have
recommended the immed'ate estab! sh
ment in Alaska at least of such terri
torial governments as were granted to
small isolated groups cf pioneer b ck
woodsmen seventy-live and eighty yt ars
ago in what are now eastern states.
An appointive delegate to congress,
as a substitute for the ful local self
government to which this community
of American citizens is entitled, is
hardly the recommendation expected

Big Salrnou Operators Taking
Out Good Money
Word comes from B'g Sa'mon that
those engaged in winter mining there
are getting very rich returns for thier
labors. A good strike has been made
on the hillside claim at No. 3 abjre
discovery on Livingston creek. It is
being worked by Dan Snure, who has
three men employed, and Billy Kerens,
the freighter who makes regular trips
in o Big Salmon from Whitehorse,
brought to .the latter place the news
that they are taking out $2 to the
wheelbarrow load.
A company, of which A. M. WallioV,
of this city, is a member, owns Nr. 1,
creek and hillside, on Livingston, and
this good strike in sucn close proxemity
to its property Is encouraging to its
members. However, No. 1 had already
demonstrated its worth as the result of
actual work upon it.

His One Good Impulse I
II c
[Original]
Frank Brayton was oue of those char
acters that In the wild and woolly west
aro considered seiulrespectable, but In
the east soon laud In state prison. It
Is a question whether the western man
who lives by his wits, his cards and his
revolver is painted better or the east
ern uiau who lives by his Jliumy, his
drills and his nitroglycerin Is painted
worse than the originals. Be this as
It may, Braytoa was pretty bad. He
never came up before Judge Lynch,
for he was not a horse stealer or a
common murderer, yet he had taken
many people's money as a card sharper
and killed many more In disputes.
One evening Brayton, who had at tho
time come to be a middle aged man,
rode Into a hamlet lu South Dakota and
noticed a young girl standing in the
door of a cabin. There was something
In her face that arrested his attention,
something that reminded blm of the
wife he had loved twenty years before,
when he was an honest and Industrious
young man, and whom he had later de
serted. Though a hardened sinner, a
pang shot through blm as a ray of sun
light will penetrate some dark and
musty corner, and a desire came to him,
a desire that vaguely uulted his wife
with this girl. Could he through the
one atone for his cruelty to the other?
"Little gal," he said, reining in his
horse, "d' ye live In there?"
"Yes."
"With father and mother?"
"Mother? that Is, I have been brought
up to consider her my mother. But
since I have grown I reckon she ain't."
"Where Is she?"
"She's gone somewheres."
"Do you have to work hard?"
"Yes."
"I'm looking for a girl like you.
How would you like to marry me?
I've got plenty of money, and you'd
have nothing to do but amuse your
self."
A faint color rose to her face and a
gleam of Interest came Into her eyes.
She looked the man over from head to
foot
"I'll be mighty kind to you," he add
ed.
"What would Bill do?"
"Who's Bill?"
"My young feller; but he's poor and
Td have to work a lot."
"Never mind Bill."
Several men were coming, and as
Brayton spoke the last words one of
them, a fine look lug young fellow,
stepped out from the rest and said:
"Reckon ye will mind Bill, stranger.
I'm Bill aud I'd like to know what
ye're monkey lr ' round here for?"
"Oh, I only a^sed the gnl if she'd like
to marry a mau that could give her
plenty of money. She knows best what
she wants."
"Dolly," said the young man re
proachfully. "have ye been encourag
ing the stranger*'"
"Dunno," Bhe replied, apparently un
certain.
"Young man," said Brayton, "reckon
you will have to fight for her."
"I'm yer man," replied the young
ster, casting a reproachful glance at
the girl and a vengeful one at Brayton.
Brayton dismounted, the young
man's friends arranged the terms, and
the principals took positions with re
volvers. the girl looking on. They were
to begin firing at the discharge of u
pistol and continue to do so till one of
them dropped. There was no need,
however, for more than the first shot.
Brayton was too quick for the young
man and sent a bullet into his side,
which dropped him. Then, after the
damage consequent upon her Indecision
had been done, the girl plainly showed
her preference by taking her Bill lu
her arms and going into hysterics.
The lover was carried Into the house
and Brayton was left standing alone
outside. The momentary desire to
anchor himself to something better,
something akin to his only real love,
had but led to a new victim. He
sighed. It was the first time he had
ever sighed at bringing down an
enemy.
Hearing a footstep behind him, he
turned. A woman was approaching
who, the moment she saw him, stopped
and stared at him.
"Are you Frank Brayton?" she asked.
"Yes. And you Moll Bruce?"
"Yes. What ye doin' here? Better
steer clear o' this house yer standin'
before."
"Why?"
"Well, there's some one lives there
with me? that's my house? who ye'd
rather not see? that Is, If ye got a
spark o' decency left In ye."
"Doll?" asked the man eagerly, yet
with a shudder.
"No. Doll died in ui y arms, and as
there was no one but me to care for her
baby I took her and brought her up
as my own. I don't want her to know
anything about her father. She's a
good girl, and it would kill her."
Than It broke upon Brayton that the
only worthy Impulse that had come to
him in many years had been excited by
his own daughter.
"Moll," he said, "go In there. Some
pin's happened. You'll find a young
feller wounded, mebbe killed. Do the
best you can for him and let me know
If he Uvea. You can write me at D.
Goodby. Here, take this for her, and
I'll send more."
He took a roll of bills from hlB
pocket and, handing them to the wom
an, mounted and dashed away at a
gallop.
After all, Brayton's daughter did not
have a life of hard work. Brayton was
killed a few months later and left her
a small fortune. She never knew how
It had been acquired. And her lover,
who recovered, never knew to whom
kta wife was Indebted.
