A PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
The a* i tat ion over the question of
r?Tinff placer mining claims is a prac
tical demonstration of the need of a
legislature, composed of people from all
sections of our district and holding its
sessions within reach of our people, to
make our laws. As long as the laws
of Alaska are made at Washington,
from 4,000 to 6,000 miles from the in
habited portions of this district, so
long will evert industry and every bus
iness Interest in the district be in jep
ardy. All this talk about the rule of
politicians and outside Influences will
b? in vain until the powers of govern
ment shall have been placed in the
hands of the people who know how
thay should be used.
Even the most vigilant delegate in
congress will b* unable to protect
everybody. He will be a long way off
and he might very easily be duped by
men looking for special favors or by
those whose motives are good, but
who possess poor judgment or lack
knowledge.
The industries and business interests
of Alaska have become too great and
too complex to submit them to the care
of those who are ignorant. Legisla
tion strikes too closely at the root of
things to have it made by men who are
not informed and who suffer not when
bad laws are enacted.
Alaska needs a local legislature far
more than doe? any of the older states
where conditions have b come settled
and where new matters seldom arise.
The most practical men in this district
and those of the widest experience
here do not know too much to qualify
them to be lawmakers for the people
who are developing this country and
who are making precedents and meet
ing new conditions every day.
The Daily Alaskan is not defending
the proposition to tax placer mines $25
each for road purposes. It is defend
ing the delegates from Southeastern
Alaska, who were in the Seattle con
vention, from the charges that they as
sented to the recommendation in order
to create a cori uption fund or for any
other sinister purpose. It must not be
forgotten that there were many prac
tical plater miners in the Seattle con
vention, some of whom are adding
hundreds of thousands in gold to the
output of Alaska each year. Under
the circumstances the delegates from
Southeastern Alaska were certainly
justified in taking their word for it as
to the kind of legislation demanded :or
the regulation of placer mining.

The successful! demonstration of the
practibility of smelting Canadian iron
ores by electricity will result In a rev
olution in the iron industry in many
parts of the country. The smelting of
iron ores by electricity has long been in
operation in New Jersey and elsewhere
in the United States. The invention
by ThomisJA. Edison, the so called
wizzard.
The first ordinance to be introduced
into the city council during its present
term of office came u>? last night. This
is an judication that Skagway is no
longer unstable or in an unsettled con
dition. The municipal affairs have
been systemitized.
Under the delegate bill, fs it passed
the house, Jchn P. Clum, who has an
nounced that he is a candidate to be
Alaska's first delegate in congress, is
not a qualified voter of the district.

Platted
The Conrad -Consolidated Mining
Company is platting an addition to the
original townsite of Conrad. The addi
tion will consist of 130 acres lying south
and back of the present townsite of
Conrad.
This enlargement of Conrad has been
found necessary to supply the demand
for building lots. The application for
lots in the first section of town exceeded
the supply. All those on the market
sold before the compvny was ready to
deliver deeds, and many people have
been unable to get locations upon which
to place houses.
Vet another addition will be platted
within a short time. It will be placed
on the market by Capt P. Martin, the
YVhitehorse and Conrad merchant.

Sitka Jack, the aged and paralized
Indian who, although belonging to the
Sitka, Alaska, tribe made Whitehorse
his home for two years previous to last
fall, has returned with his aged and
rheumatic wife for the purpose of again
taking up his home here.
As Jack and hi* wife are public
charges there is no good reason why
the should be foisted on the government
here, and as the railroad company- very
kindly passed them over from Skagway
free of charge, Major Snyder has writ
ten to the officials of that road asking
them to "very kindly" pass Mr. and
Mrs. Jack back to Skagway.
Since leaving here last fall 'the Jack
family has ployed shirt ensagements
at Skagway, Juneau and Sitka but Mr
Jack says the government over there
wa.- slow about helping them, hence
their return to Wh.tehorse. ? White

What I did do was un ler great strain

lame and aching back, you are unable
to sit, stand or lie when dizzy spells are
common and you are annoyed with
headache, you ratumlly think a good
deal of the means at last employed
which eave relief. I used Doati's Kid
