OUR TIRED DELEGATE
That old bewbiskered miner of whom
it was so lately the habit to sneer, and
who has announced himself as being 90
weary of the wiles and wickedness of
life in the great capital, seems at least
to be able to scrawl hi* name upon the
record of the paa*ing ?how.
He don't like Mr. Shoup because Mr
Shoup his modified notions about the
expediency of home rule but he knows
r r. Shoup to be a strong man, and so
h? has set up iu his stead for the favor
of the president one of the president's
ov.-n "Rough Riders and a friend of
Jt ha Hay." Now if there Is anybody
in Washington that knows better poll
tic* than that it has not been given to
to this newspaper to learn his nams.
(t is just *s well for the other candidates
for the delegateship that this whisk
ered old sour dough is very tired. If
he wa* rented up a bit the lord only
knows what tricks he would be teach
ing that senator from Rhodj Island
who Is said to own the upper half of
congress but who can't get his bill
through this session.
That of a scoop such as the United
Press carried aw?y from the Associat
ed Press In its announcement of the
resignation of Admiral Evans Monday
is a joy the like of which there is none
other In the world. It radiates from
the betting pulses of the man who did
it to the remotest extremity of new?
paperdom. But. like wireless teleg
raphy, no other craftsman is tuned to
citch the vibrations, acd may oot feel
the rare sensation. Perhaps that is a
pity? that the rest of the world is
barred from this, one of. Ufa's choicest
delights, ? acd then perhaps, "it is the
of exclusiveness that gives it its
peculiar tUvor.
Some of these days after those over
zealous Washington correspondents get
through guessing shout it, we will
learn wl o is to command the fleet on its
cruiae around the world, in which we
are a 1 so mucb interested, la the
mean time we roust be patient and ac
cept in good part that which Is jiven
us. Patience, gentle reader, Is a great
virtue, and the more yon exercise it in
this life the better showing you will
make when, some day. you stand timid
and doubtful of your reception, at the
awisome gates of the next.
It is seriously wired out to Alaska as
a matter of news that Mr. Tillman, in
the Unltrd States senate, has been
abusing the pres dent because the
president has been boosting Taft, just
as though anybody expected Mr. Till
man to be pleased with anything that
Mr. Roosevelt did. If Mr. Tillman
will someday rise in his place in the
senate and say a word of approval of
anything or anybody on the other side
the house THAT will be news.
it was rather a mean trick that
Roche played on Tommy Burns? after
fell that training and dieting? keeping
sober? and the rest of it, and being led
into attaching his name to the an
nouncement that there was to be a
prize fight. The fact seems to be that
the fighting game is not even approxi
mately understood outside this highly
mor*l bnt strenuous country.
While the president is holding night
sessions discussing the further regula
tion of the railroads, what do you sup
pose the railroads are doing? Alas for
them? they complain in the morning
of having had a restless night.
Governor Chamberlain has a sus
picion that Oregon has had enough of
the Fultons and so the governor be
comes ambitious.
Skagway sends greeting to Mr. Pin
neo. The exercise of climbing higher
makes tha next step easier.
HOW PE1E LOST TIE TREADWELL
Peter Errussard is a merch
ant at and thoroughly believes ia Ka
talla. Ha went to Katalla after having
figured in the Klondike boom. He has
been there several years and has yet
resisted the allurements of Cordova.
Peter Erruisard was the discoverer of
the lode which is now the great Tread
well mine. He located and after
wards lost it Is told by the Juneau
Record as follows:
John Tread well came to this section
in the spring of 1881 and started ta-de
velop some property in the Silver Bow
Basin, just above the Ebner group.
The mine aid not turn out. according to
expectation, and Treadwell came
down to Juneau. Later in the summer
ho bonded the Paris mine .(now known
as the Treadwell), which had been lo
cated by French Pete. The sum In the
bond was $20,000. Treadwell took
three or four men over with him and
proapected the property until along in
the fall, when he returned and handed
Pete back his bond, saying the ore
Jamaica will feel better after it. She
has been quite quiet and steady for ?o
long as a year, now, and nature places
limitations on that sort of thing.
THE BALLAD OF THE LOVER
Now who are you at heaven's gate
Who makes no word or prayer,
And boldly ??tand wifh lifted hand
As you would enter there?
What is the worth that lends you
streDgth
The unsheathed word to dare?
Now by what right of service done,
Ere yet the life sands r?n,
Speak then the deed that we may read
Or yet we bless or ban.
"I was a lover tiue," qnoth he',
'?A'hen I was living man."
Nay, but your bands are empty bands
Wherein no hands were preased,
No triumph lies between your eyes
Nor burns upon your breast;
No stain of granted kisses shows
About the mouth's unrest.
No<*. an you lie not, show the sign
That you were lover true. . .
No word spake he, but silently
His clinging mantle drew
And bared the wound wherewith his
heart
Was broken through and through.

Ac that time there was only about
oae steamer a month, and while- wait
ing (or the boat Treadwell naked Pete
to give him a deed of the property, and
he would aee what be could do in the
way of getting some one to take ho'.d of
it. Pete gaye him the deed, Treadwell
promising that if n company was form
ed he would give Pete all its patronage
fur the provisions, etc., used about the
mines.
In the spring of 1882 Treadwell came
up with a five stamp mill aad went to
work. For a year ho bought all hfa
provisions of Pete, Then a wharf was
built at the Island and Treadwell be
gan shipping all his goods from the
south, the explanation given Pete
oeing that his prices were too hl|(h for
the camp to stand.
This is just about the manner in
which Errussard lost his claim. Tread
well, later, sold the property to the
English company now operating it.
THE APRIL SMART SET.

several novelettes for the Smart Set,

artist has gone to paint a certain pic
ture There he meets a beautiful young
Italian girl, f he story then shifts to
Paris, where the real drama begins,
and a delicate yet strong situation is
handled with consummate an. The
final chapter of this story 1s written
such depth of feeling that it will linger
long in every reader's memory.
The Smart Set is always alive with
entertaining stories and the April num
ber is fully up to standard.
