ALASKA LEGISLATURE
IX 1'HIO MAGAZINES
In reviewing Ex-Governor Clark's
article appearing in «i late edition of
the Sunset Magazine, the Juneau
Empire has this to say relative to
what the Review of Reviews think
of the article:-'
In its review of the leading ar
ticles of the month the Review of
Reviews for October devotes more
than two pases "to an article con
tributed by former Gov. Walter E.
Clark to the Sunset Magazine on tho
fiirst Alaska Legislature. The ar
ticle contains an illustration of the
House of Representatives in session
and half-tone portraits of President
L. V. Ray, of the Senate, and Speak
er Ernest B. Collins, of the House
of Representatives.
Former Gov. Clark devotes a
pait of his article to a review of
conditions in Alaska, and then
swings off into the gathering of the
returns from the legislative elec
tion from the vast territory com
prising Alaska and the long journ
ey of the members elected to Ju
neau, the Territorial capitol.
The former Governor of Alaska
says the personnel of the Alaska
Legislature was intellectually equal
to that of most of the States, and,
he adds, "throughout the whole
work of the session there was no
evidence or even rumor of any venal
motive or any slightest moral obli
<iuity on the part of any Senator or
Representative."'
Speaking of the legislation, ex
Governor Clark says it was "pro
gressive, but net extremely radical."

fact that tho telegraph lines are

WORK MULTIPLIES
CHANCES FOR SUCCESS
frho sun is rising on the White.
Ti(e dawn of a tomorrow is apparent,
That vast portion of the Territory
wliich long has known but solitude
is {awakening. ' Hundreds of pros
pectors are in the region, and before
the first of the year other hundreds
will be there. The .Chisana has
drawn a great many in that direc
tion, and now comes word that stam
peters have staked* miles of streams
on the Canadian side. Other creeks
als'p tributary 10 the White are be
ing located. The report received
yesterday of the location of rich pay
tributary to the Snag stimulated
interest here. If the reports are
fully confirmed, certainly the Yu
kon will see a jrreat fuss in that dis
trict. Without doubt the region is
goUl-bearing. The proposition now
is to determine to what extent.
I,t is singular that the upper
White never before was prospected
except at random by a stray pros
pector. Now the country is staked
enough to be in imminent danger
of being turned topsy turvey before
spring. Let just a few of the dig
gers get the pay, and the whole
region will be gouged in the most
approved manner. The outlook ev
en now is enough to warrant many
goiiig there. The hundreds who
havfi been on bip works near Daw
sontfor the summer will be released
shortly for the winter. They should
improve their chances. The men
who- go prospecting in the new dis
trict will have a splendid run for
their money. They may come out
in the spring with a fortune. Those
who: go outsidj to see the elephant
or to buy peauuls for country cous
ins will be sure to be back in spring
with' nothing but the empty bag and
the aromatic memory of a time.
Thoie who get an outfit and go to
work behind the pick will be multi
plying their chances, and fuck may
prove their hero.—Dawson News.
Washington, Nov. 1—Have you, I
Mr. Average Citizen, tried to figure
out what you will owe Uncle Sam
this year and next under the new
federal income tax law which be-1
comes effective today?
According to the new law, the av
erage married man whose income is
not over $4,000, escapes scot free,
so also the unmarried man who can'
gather up more than $3,000 in a
year's time. If he makes $3,500 a
year he is taxed 1 per cent on $500
or $5.00. If he makes $10,000 he |
pays 1 per cent on $7,000 or $70,
iind so on up to $20,000, but if you
make more than that it is up to you
to get the book of rules, and after
taking a course at night school, try
and figure out what your tax will b
It is an assured fact that the new
law will bring nillions of dollars in-1
to the public treasury.
The City of Seattle will arrive in |
this port Mondya afternoon.

P. H. GANTY, GROCER
HUEBTA JAILS ALL ENEMIES,
WASHINGTON AWAITS CONGRESS
Washington, Nov. 1—Throughout
official circles the Mexican situation
is the main topic of conversation,
and plan after plan has been sug
gested to meet the crisis. which is
expected at any moment.
Great reticence is maintained by
the State department in discussing
the results of the frequent confer
ences, known to have been held.
This morning President Wilson
had a long conference with Counsel
lor Moore, of the State department
over the Mexican situation. The
conference was held immediately fol
lowing the advices received from
Mexico that Provisional President
Huerta was throwing into Jail all his
enemies, where they will be kept
until after the meeting of the Mex
ican congress tomorrow, at which
the official canvas of the late elec
tion will be made.
The advices received from Mexi
co today state that Huerta is hold
ing all his enemies in subjection
through fear, and he is backed by
a large followlag, and they are ever
in readiness to execute his slightest
command. It is believed that cer
tain , membe:rs of the Mexican con
gress will bo coerced into proclaim
ing Huerta's election, even though
he did not poll the majority votes,
or there were not sufficient votes
cast to make the election legal.
In the war department there is a
somber silence, and the entire as
pect 1b that of the quiet before the
storm.
i
f Biarritz, Nov 1—At an early hour
this morning Fortifo Diaz, ex-pres
ident of the Mexican republic, who
has been here *or some time past,
left for Paris. It is believed that
the move was made so that he could
be in closer touch with the affairs
of his nation. I
Vera Cruz, Nov. 1—General Felix
Diaz, at his request, was transferred
from the Battleship Louisiana to the
j Battleship Michigan, which sailed at
[once after the Mexican general was
taken on board for a point off Prog
lieso, Yucatan, where he will be plac
ed on board a steamer bound for
Cuba. '
Dallas, Nov. 1—Advices were re
ceived in this city this morning from
Chihauhau that a great many of the
federal adherents had evacuated
their ranchos and villas and had fled
to ports where they might be afford
ed greatest protecion by the Federal
government against the depreda
tions of the rebels. Americans join
ed the Mexicans in their I flight,
leaving their possessions to fall in
| to the hands of the rebels and ban
dits who are swarming throughout
this entire district. The Americans
ateem to be panic stricken.

STRIKERS TRANSFER ARMS
TO SECRET HIDING PLACES
Trinidad, Nov. 1—The leaders of
the miners here were met yesterday
by the officers of the State troops

requests agreed to lay down their
arms.
This morning it was learned that
during the night the miners hired
automobiles and all the guns and
ammunition in their possession was
tra»sferred to places unknown to
the militia.
This action on the part of the min
era is looked upon •' as a sign that
they intend to prolong the fight, un
til the operators acceed to their de
mands.

ployed by the Daily Alaskan for the
past two month3, underwent an op
eration at the White Pass hospital.
