AID TO GOLD MINING.
The Yukon Development league
executive committee has taken time-'
ly action in telegraphing to the fed
eral government at Ottawa asking
for a bonus on gold produced in
Yukon Territory, says Hie Dawson
News. It is reported Chat the fed-1
eral government has extended aid in j
that manner to British Columbia j
miners. Such being true, it will be!
nothing more than consistent to ex- i
tend the same aid to Yukon miners }
In fact, the miner's of this terri- j
tors- are much more entitled to
I
consideration in respect to a bonus j
on gold than those of any other prov-j
ince. It must not be forgotten that
Yukon contributed the largest per
capita of men and money to the'
war of any part of the Dominion, j
and that the territory received not;
a dollar in return in war-time con-!
st ruction contracts or orders for
many supplies. In nowise did this
territory share in the distribution of
the hundreds of millions spent dur
ing the war. Yukon gave without
receiving in return. Therefore, it
would be nothing more than fair, to
say nothing of a gracious and grace
ful act, for the central government
to now help this territory' in carry
ing^ the industry which now is so
seriously menaced through the ex
cessive costs brought about by the
The handicap of high rr>oes has
reduced the purchasing power of
pro Id one-half or more through vir
tue of the fact that all other com
modities cost twice as much as in |
pre-war days, or more
Authorities agree that only high
grade goid producing mines will be
able to continue operations if relief
is not forthcoming. Theorizing must'
be at an end. Gold is the essential
security. The nation expects this
concrete and substantial reserve to
continue to flow into its coffers. If
the goose that lays the golden egg'
be starved, the egg will not be
forthcoming. Other countries are
paying bonuses and more are pre
paring to do so.
The main body of the Yukon De
velopment league can follow up the
action of the executive committee
with a strong resolution, and the
Yukon council, the officially consti
tuted and recqpnized body of the
territory, can further strengthen the
cause by memorializing the federal
government.
KETCHIKAN AND HYDER.
We learn with surprise, says the
editor of the Hyder Miner, that
there is an element in Ketchikan
who persist in knocking this town
(Hyder), not realizing, poor short
sighted creatures, that the pros
perity of Hyder will have a vitally
stimulating effect upon the growth
and prosperity of Ketchikan. Busi
ness interests of the two places are
co-ordinate; prosperity to one means
prosperity to the other. Ketchikan
knocking Hyder is like two partners
in a store knocking each other, to
the detriment of the business.
Sourdoughs arriving here state
that they were told in Ketchikan
not to come to Hyder, that they
would certainly leave in disgust.
They say that many took this advice
and continued on to the Outside
Does Ketchikan expect to ever see
another dollar of those sent soutt
from that town? Alaskans whe
come here to see for themselves
could not now be driven away with
a Methodist ax; their money wil
stay in the country, and Ketchikar
will get part of it.
However, there is at least one
man in that town whose letter, re
ceived recently, shows him to be s
man of sound judgment and discern
ment. He is Dr. X. R. Walker, am:
this is what he writes in part:
“You have the right idea aboul
knockers. My experience has taughl
me that if you do not go down or
your knees and pay homage to a few
visiting upstarts—important only ir
their own minds — they go awaj
knocking.
“I believe the town of Hvder ha:
an unusually bright futiire, anr
due to its geographical location, wil
also be a great benefit to our com
munity.”
Dr. Walker has personally inves
tigated conditions in Hyder an<'
knows what he is writing about.
CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Charges of extravagant use oi
money in behalf of certain presi
dentia! candidates, together with th<
outcome of the Newberry trial ii
Michigan, make it extremely likely
asserts the Washington Post, tha
close scrutiny will be given to ex
pense accounts of all political can
didates after the battle is over
With this in view, it is probable tha
more accurate accounts will be kep
by campaign managers* than eve
before.
In the final accounting a demani
will be made that all organization;
which take a hand in the contest b<
required to submit a statement o
their receipts and expenditures un
tier the corrupt practices act. Th<
law docs not contemplate merel;
Republican and Democratic commit
tees, but all organizations which un
dertake the election or defeat o
candidates.
This, it is held, includes the Anti
Saloon league. The records at th
capitol do not disclose any accoun
of the league for money expendei
in a campaign, and yet it has beei
active for years past in the electioi
of senators and representatives an;
in the defeat of others. The man
agement of this organization has an
nounced its intention of opposin
wet candidates in the fortheomin
campaign; in fact, the league is rt
ported to be engaged in raising
fund of millions, part of which is t
be devoted to this purpose. Obv
lously it should make an accountin'
'the same as any other political con
mittee.
By getting into the campaign, ej
dorsing certain candidates for offic
and promising them active suppor
the American Federation of Lab<
'appears also to bring itself wittii
the law requiring an accounting ft
! campaign funds. A demand will 1
made in Congress that this orgai
ization, too, submit a statement <
its. receipts and expeditures. T1
same argument will be made in tl
i
!
|!
case of any other society or com
mittee which takes a hand in the
campaign. In the past, if current
reports are credited, vast sums have
been expended in behalf of candi
dates through the medium of “non
political” organizations exercising
political functions, and without any
accounting. There will be a strong
demand this year that all be placed
upon the same footing.
There are two measures, believes
the Valdez Miner, that our repre-;
sentatives should bring before the
territorial legislature. A law forcing
cannery employes to bring a clean
bill of health with them and com
pelling the employer to be responsi
ble for board and transportation for
the employe until he returns to his
place of residence, and a bill asking j
Congress to remove the capital more i
to the center of the Territory.

CHICAGO.—Delegates at the Re
i publican national convention, open
ing here June 8, will be able to
confer with representatives of other
states without leaving their seats.
To eliminate a large part of the j
confusion incident to conferences
! I
between delegates on the floor, C. ’
R. Hall, superintendent of the Col- '
iseum. has arranged for the installa-I
tion of telephones connecting all i
state, district and territorial delega-1
tions. j
It is said that this will be the ;
first time that such a system has j
been installed at any national cot!- j
vention.
There will be 53 telephones in j
service, reaching the 48 state groups j
and the representatives of the Dis- i
triet of Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii,
the Philippines and Porto Rico.
The convention architects have
completed plans for the Coliseum,'
i including an extra balcony that adds
approximately 1,100 to the seating
'capacity. The Chicago convention
committee is spending $47,000 on
changes to the building to accom
modate ithe delegates and more than
110,000 spectators.

SACRED CATTLE WIN
AT FAT STOCK SHOW
FORT WORTH. Tex.--The great
sacred cattle of India have gone to
home pastures with blue ribbons for
the first time from the Fort Worth
Fat Stock Show, setting a new era
in the industry in the Southwest.
The Brahmas came from the great
Pierce ranches in Wharton county.
What attracted most interest
about the “sacred cattle" is the
fact that they are tick-proof and
drouth-resisting. Originally pure
broods, these giant, gaunt cattle
have been crossed with Texas until
they have dropped some of the phy
sical characteristics of their kind.
But they still retain the hump and
their natural wildness has been in
tensified.
