BONA FIDE CITIZENSHIP AT
DISCOUNT
Speaker Cannon's press ?ents aD"
nounce that his plan to handle Alaskan
legislation through committees of the
t?nate and house of representatives
contemplates giving hearings to Alas
Wans upon matters which will come I e
to, congress for legislation. That
means, of course, the exaltation of
lobbyist- Those interests which are)
able to maintain agents at the national
capital and those men who simp y
spend their summer vacations in Alaska
will have more Influence In Alaskan
matters than the people who live in the
district and boar the burden of govern
ment here. It will be impossible for
those citizens of Alaska who reside in the ,
district, who are doing'the actual work
of developing it, to appear before the
committees of congress holding sessions
from 4000 to 6000 miles away. They
are too bus, for that and a majority of
them could not afford it.
The speaker proposes to magnify the
Importance of the schemer and politic
ian and to minimize that of the p n.
citizen and actual worker. He will dis
count bona fide citizenship.
If the Seatt Pust-lntellingencer is
eoing to roast all those Alaskan papers
which favored holding the Alaskan
convention in Alaska rather than Seat
tle its editor should get a newspaper
directory and get busy. He could
direct his beanshooter at almost any o
them? there is only one in the district
that has said Seattle is the proper
place for the convention.
Thomas A. Eddison says all his life
he has refused to associate with peop e
who devote their lives to money get
ting Newspaper men ought to have a
large place in the heart of the great in
ventor. ______
The Oregoniau^s- speciaT correspon
dent at Washington says Speaker Can
non's committee plans for handling
Vaskan affairs would belvery satisfac
tory and very good for Alaska. It must
be w if this Washington city news
paper man says so.
jack Carr, the famous overland mail
carrier, says the north pole belongs to
the Yukon and that all the Yukoners
have to do is to go after it. That
sounds easy.
Senator Fulton, of Oregon, went on
record at the recent republican peace
conference at Portland in favor of tariff
revision.
Gas Addlckstays he will devote his
efforts to purifying the politics of Dela
ware. He should move from the state
a he is sincere. Addicks has been the
rottenest thing in Delaware politics.
There is no way to permit Alaskans
to have a hand in the making of their
own laws except through a legislature
chosen by them.

WILL BE BIG
Tauana Will Yield 812,000,
0?H) Next Year
A Fairbanks dispatch of recent date
says:
"YVbile it is still somewhat early to
talk about next Jyear's output for the
Tanana, the assertion that it will be
double that of this year, and more like
ly treble. At the very lowest estimate
it means $12,000,000 for next season."
It is contended this large increase
will be brought about by the more
thorough development of Cleary and
Fairbanks creeks and by addition of
Esther and Dome creaks to the great
producers. It is thought other creeks
will also do better.

Fairbanks, Sep. 22? What is believed
to De Hendrickson's cache has been
found among the bi^ granite boulders
near the head of Nugget craek, four
miles from the Gilmore roadhouse.
Bob Roberts stumbled upon it a few
days ago, and it is evidently Hendrick
son's old cache.
Mr. Roberts says the place is almost
ina cessible. The lay of the country is
rough, and big granite boulders are
thrown up in all kinds of shape. One
man could pick off fiifty men from this
retreat, or he could play a game of
bide and seek among them for a long
time.
Between two of the big boulders,
and in a place where it would be hard
to And a man, unless by accident, was
found a blue drill parka, a blue fly tent,
two masks, a part of a sack of flour, a
part of a sack of rolled oats, a frying
pan, a blanket, and a pair of old over
alls, partly mildewed from the damp.

Set a Thief to
Catch a Thief
o
(Original.]
I was worn out with the Plimpton
murder ease, at which I hail spent
months of Incessant labor. Having
made a great reputation ou it and a
good deal of money In hunting down
the robbers of the Arlington bank, re
covering all the funds taken, I resolved
to have a rest. An ocean liner took mo
to England, and I found myself In
Loudon and was seeing the sights when
I was astonished to receive a request
to call at once at the American em
bassy. On my arrival there I was
ushered Into the minister's private of
fice, where he was closeted with one
other person, a young man who seemed
very much worried.
"Mr. Ruff," he said, "I happened to
see In your name among American ar
rivals the man who managed the Ar
lington bank case at home, In which In
stitution I am a director. It Is abso
lutely necessary tliut you give me your
services. This Is Mr. Ogdeu Keiuble, a
messenger of the state department at
Washington, who 1ms recently arrived
with dispatches for our minister at
Berlin. On the voyage ho was tricked
out of the dispatches, and they are In
possession of a man who holds them
for an enormous rausoni. If not paid
he will deliver them to the German of
ficial In whose hands they will do the
most harm. lie Is awaiting our reply
to his ileum ml at Dover. Go there at
o-iee, and while I am pretending to con
sider the matter of submitting to
blackmail make an effort to recover
the papers."
I took an afternoon train for Dover,
and on arriving went straight to the
Intel where the thief stopped and reg
istered an assumed name.
The thief was registered as Nelson
Kearney from Chicago. I found him
d irlng the evening In the billiard room
of the hotel smoking. I took a seat be
s'Je him and looked as he was looking
at the players. I kuew that he was
killing time while he waited for word
from London, and I kept up a yawning
as though I was a time killer myself.
This brought nie Into conversation with
him, though this was not with a view
to further Intimacy, for while sitting
by hh)i I accomplished all 1 wished. I
wns about to get up from my chair and
g > away when he asked me if I would
like to play a game of billiards. Iu a
twinkling I made up my mind that he
would try to work me for money with
which to pay his expenses while wait
ing to make his big haul fur the papers.
So I consented to play billiards; but.
proving inexpert at the game, lie soon
tired of playing with me and proposed
cards. I assented, and we went into a
small room and sat down to a card ta
ble. 1 waited for hiui to propose a
small stake and knew that this would
bo the proper time for me to spring my
game. He did as I expected, rutting
my hand Into my pocket to take out my
pocket book. I paused with the air of
one frightened, rummaged all my oth
er pockets; then, arising from the ta
ble, I barred the egress and called out,
"Folice"' The landlord came running
In, nnd, pointing to Kearney, I said;
"Landlord, when I came from home
I was told that your house was respect
able. I haven't been lu It two hours
before I've been robbed. This man pro
posed to play billiards with me, theu
cards. At last he proposed to play for
mot^y, and when I looked for my poek
etbook It was gone. Call a policeman."
I feigned to be terribly aggrieved and
talked "Cockney" so fast as scarcely to
be understood. Kearney looked at me
contemptuously and said:
"You fool farmer, I haven't got your
money."
"I think." 1 replied notiy, "you must
be an American trickster. They say
Americans are awful sharpers."
Tbe landlord was about to send for
the police when Kearney, not relishing
such attention concentrated upon him
self at a time when he was working a
big game, begged the landlord to satis
fy himself of his Innocence by search
ing him. The landlord consented, not
wishing for a scandal In his house, and
In the skirt pocket of Kearney's coat
found my pocketbook. I Identified It
by telling him before It was opened the
exact amount of money there was in
It, besides other articles. I had slipped
It In Kearney's pocket while sitting be
side him In the billiard room. Kearney
looked at me astonished and for the
first time suspected me to be some
thing more than a British farmer.
I stormed at the landlord, who
wished me to hush the matter up and
be satisfied with the return of my
pocketbook, till he was forced to call
in the police, and I had the satisfaction
of seeing Kearney marched to the sta
tion. As soon as he was gone I went
to his room, the number of -which I
had careiully noted on the register,
and was about to use my lock picker,
when the chambermaid came along
and I asked her to let me In, dropping
a half crown Into her hand. She com
piled, and, closing the door behind me.
In a few mombn{s I had my ulppers
on Kearney's valise, whore I found the
documents. I took only time to com
pare them with my list, then ran down
stairs by a back stairway and left the
hotel, leaving Mr. Kearney, or what
ever his name might be, to get out of
the scrape as best he could.
At midnight I boarded a train for
London, but did not think it safe to go
as an English farmer. I was an In
firm, bearded Frenchman Just across
the channel from Calais. The next
morning I delivered the papers to the
minister, who received them with sur
prise and delight. When he told me
that he considered my feat something
remarkable, I replied that !t had been
dead easy. The thief of the papers
was a clerk In the state department
without any of a thief s experience.
