THE LESSON OF THE 8ARNETTE-CAUS
TENS CASE
The system of grubstaking is one
that is esseniial to the developement
of a aiming country as every one knows
who has had anything to do with such
country. But the system hat fallen
into -isrepute because of the extieme
uncertainty as to results on the part ot
the man furnishing the stake. The
man who would be grub staked i* of
course full of enthusiasm acd enter
prise previous to securing the stake,
but experience has shown that he is
too loth after that, finding himself in
possession of a season's grab, to for
get the obligation on his part to bustle
acd try to make return: or, if be makes
a st: ike through hustling or merely by
chance, he is apt to feel that he has
dooe it all asd that the man who fur
nished t: e means is e-t.tlej to nothing
more ihau a sneer for being such a fool
as to trust him. Whatever be the
merits? and tue trial and supreme
courts have both pasted on these? the
decision in the case of James H. C&US
tens, formerly of the customs service
in Alaska, against K. T. Uarnette,
banker, of Fairbanks, in which Caus
tens geti j ndgment for a trial the earn
ings of Uarnette iu the Fairbanks
coun'rv, will go far towards reinstating
the grub saKe system on a business
basis.

Caustens applied for his share he was
dtnted despite the written agreement.
Caustens ottered to settle the matter
for 810,0. 0ca_-.li. Barcette refused, and
the suit was instituted and carried to
the supreme court which his just af

AN ALASKAN-BORN FOURTH OF JULY
The Fourth of July has gone its way
and Skagway has the memory of the
most successful celebration of a long
line of successful celebrations. Every
detail was well looked after and the
program was carried out almost to the
letter with credit to everybody con
cerned. The committee# having charge
of the affair and of its several parts are
to bo congratulated and tho city owes
to them a vote of thanks for the manner
in which they made Rood. Our own
people and our visitors with them were
well entertaiced and tho latter .vere
sent home well repaid for their visit
here. Krom tho exercises In Elk's hall
to the last fire cracKer everything went
well
Th? parade was a particularly inter
esting feature from the standpoint*}! an
object l?s?on. Starting with the idea of
making an assemblage of Alaska-born
children a feature of the atlair the idea
spread until it ran all down the line
Alaskan product. The marshal of the
day was the first Alaskan cadet to West
Point. who is an honor to the entire
district; the band was home gro*vn, the
yiungest Alaskan band; the Goddsss of
Liberty was a representative of Alas
kan beauty and grace; in the line close
behind was the only automobile in Al
aska and ii> made here in Skagway by
a young Alaskan who never saw an au
tomobile as they are made elsewhere
but wh.cii compares favorably with the
best of Its size in appearance and other
wise, having been in successful opera
tion for a y cat ; th : winner of the s< cond
prize was a so-called dogomobile, the
motive power bring a wolf and native
dog in harness; The Daily Alaskau, the
tirst daily newspaper of Alaska
was represented with a iloat, printing a
minature edition in colors, the press
being operated by a native Alaskan,
the first and only native printer in Al
aska; then came a delegation of some
sixty Alaskan born children. This Al
aska-bora feature of the c-lebration
was well worth the trouble of the
whole.
Altogether it was a very satisfactory
celebration.
As a place of residence for baseball
fans the only objection to ikagway is
that nobody seems to take the slightest
interest in the great game.
That Battling Nelson should have re
turned agnin iicd aga'n to meet his con
queror and tioa'ly conquer him is an in
cident of note in the history of the prize
ring.
Rear Admiral Thomus so lately in
command, was buried today and the
great fleet fails tomorrow for its most
spectacular voyage round the world.
1 COMMON CASE
(By Madeline Bridges
She leaned from tier window-ledge on
high.
The street lamps made the stars seem
dim,
Waiting while the weary hour* rolled by,
To throw the latch-ksy down to him.
She mused on the time, not long ago ?
What wondor her fair brow looked
glum ??
When she used to think he'd never go ?
And now she thinks he'll aever come !
