SHATTERING TORY ARGU
MENTS
The Juneau and Sitka tories Lave
always tried to create the impression
that only politicians favor self-govern
ment for Alaska. The other day the
United Mine Workers of Nome to the
number of 500 met and declared for the
removal of Gov. Brady, Alaska's tory
executive, and for territorial govern
ment. They nominated on that plat
form delegates to attend the Seattle
convention next month and it was
successful bya large m?jority;at an elec
tion" whereat 1200 votes were polled.
Among those on the ticket were many
of the leading mine owners of Seward
peninsula. There were also bankers
and merchants and represen'atives of
other clashes who are interested in the
development of the country on the tic
ket.
The fact of the matter is that all of
the people of Alaska except a few poli
ticians and the representatives of a
very few of the many eastern and Eng
lish corporations operating in the dis
trict favor self-government. The men
who are producing gold? the prospect
ors, the workers in the drifts and shafts
and the great majority of the mine
owners and operators? the merchants,
bankersj and others who are making
Alaska a great country are not tories.
They understand that self-government
means to take the control of the district
out of the hands of politicians and in
competent departmental clerks at
Washington and to place it in the
hands of the men who live and work in
the district.
The recent actions Nome and Fair
banks and Ketchikan and other mining
districts have made it necessary for the
tories to go argument 'chasing or to
ktep still.
A straw that indicates the extent of
the emigration of Americans to the
new Canadian provinces was the nomi
nation the other day of an American
from Kansas for parliament by an Al
berta constituency. l,The American
vote" is one of the elements to which
both the liberal and conservative par
ties are catering in the campaigns that
is now in progress it Alberta Sascata

George VY. Perkins, vice-president of
the New York Life Insurance Compa

as manager of the banking house of J.

the life insurance contributions for po
political purposes. Morgan does not
object to the contributions, but says
Perkins handled them U-o clumsi[v,
The Whitehorse Star announces that
it has perfected plans for the establish
ment of a newspaper at Conrad City at
the very earliest date developments
will warrant such a venture.
The M&ssachusett's republicans have
declared for tariff revision. It looks as
though tariff reform will cease to be a
democratic slogan and become a non
partizan demand.
Proepector Has Terrible Exp ri en c e
Frightened bv the drowning of his

Chealnnder Fair Proposition
Progressing
Alaskan directors for the fair that it
is' proposed to .hold, in Seattle in 1907
an? beiosr selected from the interior.
A letter from Godfrey Chelander,
written from Fort Gibbon, says Capt.
E. T. Barnette, mayor of Fairbanks,
and Charles E. Claypool, a leading
lawyer of that place, have been select
ed tor Fairbanks. L. L. James, United
States commissioner, will represent
Chena, and the following selections
have been made from Yukon river
points: F, H Grace, Circle; Jack Carr,
Fort Yukon; H. F. Thumm, Rampart
mining district, and J. H. Johnston,
Coldfoot. The Arctic Brotherhood
camp, at Eagle, and the camp at Ram
part will each select one.
Mr. Chealander further says:
"The work is progressing nicely and
the people are taking a lively interest
in the project. All arrangements have
been made by which it will be possible
for us to devote the entire season next
year, commencing early in the spring,
to gather exhibits and prepare them
for 1907.
"It will be necessary to send sev
eral parties into Alaska for that pur
pose. For instance, there will be the
exibit of berries. A full display of all
the different wild berries wilt be made,
and they will have to be put up in the
various forms and some preserved
whole, in clusters. Then, perhaps,
three different parties will haye to be
dispatched to take pictures, moving
and otherwise. Oae party must go
down the Yukon river, and one to cov
er the coast from Sitka to the mouth of
the Kuskoquim river, in Bering sea,
both parties affecting a junction at St.
Michael, and from there proceed to
Nome and cover Seward peninsula.
Then another party would have to take
in the Fortvmile, Eagle, Circle, Rim
part. Tannana and the Kaintishna
mining districts, with proper outfits,
and a proper schedule of times all this
can be done next year."
Mr. Chealander's letter s?id he ex
pected to be in Seattle before the mid
dle of October.

I got Doan's Kidney Pills and took a

An International
Complication
(Original.]
Emily Tborburu and Emily Kent
Were two Americans of the new wo
man type. _ Being bosom friends and
each possessed of a good income, they
Joined the "innumerable caravan" that
iu the spring traverses the desert of
water between Europe and America,
unattended by any escort whatever. In
Egypt they fell in with two young
Russian noblemen who were finishing
their education by travel. Dimitrl
Marugoff devoted himself to Miss
Tborburu. l'eter Nevauski was happy
when In the society of Miss Kent.
When the two young couples parted
the men urged the girls to visit St. Pe
tersburg, promising to give them an
opportunity to see the inner side of
Russian high life. The girls declined
the Invitation, but the next spring
found them at the Russian capital.
They sent their cards to the address
given them and waited. A week
passed, and no ausve-r came. Then
one morning a note was found slipped
under the door of their apartments.
It was from Nevauski and said he and
his friend had been active in the revo
lution. Maragoff was In prison, await
ing transjiortatlon to Siberia, aud he
(Nevauski) was hunted by the police.
It would be impossible for Mm to call
upon them without great risk of impli
cating them.
Nothing could be more effective lu
arousing the sympathy of these two
girls, who were heart and soul with
the Russian revolution. The ancestors
of both had more than a hundred years
before acted In a revolution of their
own, and the girls had inherited the
sterling qualities evolved In the strug
gle for American liberty. Nevauski iu
his note named an address where a re
ply might be left (uot sent by mail),
and the girls, not heeding his warning,
wrote him to come and see them, even
if he must come in disguise. He came
as a peddler.
Now, these two American girls of the
new woman type, (hiding that the
young Russians were not in a position
to Introduce them, as they had prom
ised, to Russian society, laid plans to
take the unfortunates to the laud of
liberty and Introduce them to Ameri
can society, lloth women were strong
characters and weighed well what they
proposed to do. They were sensible
of the fact that they were rlskiug a
residence lu Siberia aud that they had
but one advantage- -that of being
American citizens. They acted, not on
Impulse, but on the generosity of their
American natures.
Nevanski hail bribed 0110 of Mara
goff' s keepers to pass communications
between them and lia?l made some ef
fort to secure bis friend's freedom by
the same means. What the girls could
not obtain through the American min
ister. a permit to visit the prison
where Maragoff was confined, they ob
tained by the method most effective In
Russia, bribery. They bribed a keep
er, and when his superior was absent
he took them through as a party of
tourists, all they pretended to be. They
were on the lookout for Maragoff, and
when they saw him a frown from Miss
Thorburn checked an expression of
pleasurable recognition. As they pass
ed she lagged and slipped into bis
hand a code (composed of common
place sentences) pertaining to a mat
ter of escape.
MaragofTs eel) overlooked the prison
wall. One day the official Nevanski
had bribed handed Maragoff a note.
Since the messenger had only agreed to
transmit noucomproinising messages,
this one was in the code. It admonish
ed the prisoner to obtain a string and
throw it the next night over the wall.
He did so and drew up a bundle of
clothes, which proved to be the uniform
of a prison official. There were also
"making up" material and Instructions
to make himself like his keeper. A
knife and some rope completed the out
fit. When the keeper came round for
the last time during the night Mara
goff, who was in bed, feigued Illness
and called the man In. Then he threw
off the bedclothes, pushed the astonish
ed keeper In his bed, covered him with
the bedclothes and after getting a gag
In his mouth bound him. Taking the
keys, he locked the cell and walk
ed down and out of the prison. A car
riage was in waiting. lie stepped In
and was driven away, changing his
outer garments and his "makeup" by
the way, to the apartments of the
American girls.
The next move must be to get the
men out of Russia. The question of
their using the girls' passports, in dis
guise, was considered, but the pass
ports would not fit them, even with
the best feminine makeup. At any
rate, It was thought best for them to
run the gantlet to the border, and,
after making Berlin u rendezvous at
which all were to meet, the quartet
separated.
The place of meeting was In an
apartment house In which the girls had
already spent some time. On the morn
ing of the appointed meeting they sta
tioned themselves at a window where
they could see any one coming. At the
appointed hour the two friends, nrm
in arm, came down the avenue, and as
soon as the girls caught sight of them
they threw up the sash and waved
their handkerchiefs, a welcome that
was answered in kind by the Russians.
In another minute there was a Joyous
reunion.
Police and prisons being dispensed
with, the girls extended a cordial Invi
tation to the men they had rescued to
visit America and become acquainted
with American ways. But they were
both too much Interested in the liberty
struggle in Russia, to go on a pleasure
tour.
The reports of a coming double wed
ding have not thus far been confirmed.
