A TORY MARE'S NEST
One of the pusilanimout attempts of
thote who would harrass in every way
possible those who are striving to make
conditions in Alaska better is the effort
of the Juneau Transcript and a few
other tories to array the prospectors
and olaim owners of Southeastern
Alaska ugainst the Seattle convention
and everybody who recognizes it as a
step in the right direction because of
its proposition to tax placer claims $25
each for road purposes. Of course, the
Transcript emits the word "PLACER"
when it refers to the matter. It says
the convention declared in favor of tax
ing "every claim owner in Alaska" to
the tune of #25 on every claim he has
staked or shall stake, and it has gone
to far as to say it applies to quartz
miners.
As a matter of fact, the declaration
of the Seattle convention limits the
proposed tax to PLACER CLAIMS
The plan was designed for the purpose
of putting a stop to the custom of lo
cating a creek by powers of attorney
and holding it by affidavits, saying that
assessment work had been done when,
as a matter of fact, there had been no
development. The section in which
this tax recommendation appears re
commends that the location of
"PLACER" claims by power of attor
ney be abolished, that no man be per
mitted to take up more than two
"PLACER" claims on one creek and
its tributaries, that the grouping of
"PLACER" claims be abolished, etc.
Then it adds the recommendation for
"SUBSTITUTING A CASH ASSESS
MENT OF 125 PER ANNUM ON
EACH PLACER MINING CLAIM
J OR THE ANNUAL LABOR AS
SESSMENT OF ?100." Everywhere
there '.s the specific limitation to
PLACER claims.
This section waj introduced in the
Seattle convention and supported by
the placer miners from the greatest
placer camps in the world ? those of
Nome and the Tanan%- It was offered
and supported by them for a purpose
that is admitted by everybody to be
laudable? for the pu'pose of encourag
ing development.
The delegates from Southeastern
Alaska accepted it as a matter of
course. It had no direct bearing on
their section of the district and was
urged for remedial purposes by those
who are developing other sections.
There was no opposition to it from
anywhere.
When it was discovered that there is
strong opposition to the bill among
miners, the Alaskan delegates at W ash
ington withdrew their support and
recommended tbat nothing be done un
til it shall have been passed upon by
the people of the'district.
That is all there Is to the "issue"
with which little tories would fan the
passions of the Southeastern quartz
miners into a raging flame.
So John P. Clum is sorry that he did
not receive the governorship and will
get even by being delegate in congress?
Mr. Clum might change his mind after
he consults with the people of Alaska
oa this matter.
The first delegate from Alaska will
be an actual, resident Alaskan and he
will favor self-government. What his
name is and from whence he will hail we
do not know, nor is it very important.
Let Mr. Clum come to Alaska and
serve a few years in the ranks before
he becomes a candidate for delegate in
congress. He should consider himself
lucky that he is postmaster of Fair
banks.

Tacoma Democrats Renoini
inat George P. Wright ?
Tacoma, March 17? The deraocra'ic
oity convention renominated the pres
ent mayor, George P. Wright, last
night, for another term. There are
three active nominees now in the field.
The republican comin^e is R. L. Mc
Cormick, fhe millionaire timber owner.
John Hartman, who has been a leading
democrat for many years, is the nomi
nee of the municipal owner>hip party.
It is thoupht the latter will hare the
support of the ministerial association,
though Wright has announced that he
will keep Tacoma tightly closed.
MINERS GLOSED
NOME GAMBLING
The action of the government in
closing gambling at Nome was in re
sponse to a movement started by the
Mine Workers Union. The union took
the matter up. Resolutions adopted at
a meeting of the organization pledging
its united efforts to suppress gambling
at Nome and in that vicinity were
presented to Jthe city council by a com
mittee appointed for that purpose, and
ali the officers of the law and good
citizens, generally, were requested to
join in the movement. When the senti
ment was sufficiently daveloped the
federal authorities took u,> the matter,
anl the end came quickly.

years, owing to kidney complaint and
back?che, I was some days unable to
atundtomy household dutirs at all.
What I did do was un ler great strain
and misery. When, owing to a weak,
lam.; and aching back, you are unable
to sit, stand or lie when dizzy spells are
common and you are annoyed with
headache, you naturally think a good
deal of the means at last employed
which gave relief. I used Doan's Kid
ney Pills, taking them according to
directions and I found more relief from
them than from ali other remedies I
ever took put together. When iu con
versation with any one annoyed with
svmptoms of kidney complaint, 1 never
