THE LAW IS VIOLATED
BY GARRISON OFFICIALS
HORSES KILLED WITH GLANDER8 ARE THROWN INTO THE BAY
BY THOSE RESPONSIBLE AT FORT LISCUM—CARCASSES
NOW NEAR TOWN—LIABLE TO INFECT 8TOOK
The most flagrant violations of
the sanitar> laws of the territory
have been committed by the au
thorities at Fort Liseum in dis
posing of the carcasses of the
inules killed at tlit* post suffering'
from glanders.
The law specifically provides
that the carcasscs of the animals
which have been killed or have
died of tin' glanders shall I»«•
burned. Those killed at tin* gar
rison were simply dumped into
the bay. Of the nine carcasses s<»
treated, one is resting on the
beach southeast of town and llie
other is high and dry at the
mouth of Mineral creek, where
they can spread contagion to oth
or slock as well as to other ani
mals.
Of the 2ft head or more killed
on the trail, instead of cremating
then^ as provid d by law, they
were buried. Surely some step
will have t<> be taken by th«» mu
nicipality, in I lie absence of oth
er authority, to rid ourselves of
Ibi'si' menaces to health and
property.
When officials of Ihe govern
iiii*iiI themselves flagrantly vio
late tin' laws what can be snid of
some poor unfortunate who
knows no better, or for thai mat
ter any private citizen who finds
il ineonveniiMil or loo expensive
to obey the law.
NARROW ESCAPE
AT SHOUP BAY
Min=r Caught in 8now 8lide at the
Rambler Mine Has Very
Close Call
Work is progressing in a very
satisfactory manner al (he Ram
bler on Shoup bay. As tin* ore
body is uncovered the pay ap
pears lo lie {felling better and
wider.
A Innnel is now being driven
mi I lie Herice-Mcbonald proper
ties. The ledge is about two feet
wide, free gold showing to the
naked eye throughout the lead.
What came near being a ser
ious if not a fatal accident oc
curred at the Rambler mine last
week. While the men were work
ing a snow slide swept over the
face of the drift, catching Louis
Venicky, one of Ihe workers, who
was at the time on the dump,!
burying him completely, lie sa-w
the slide coming but was unable
to escape. He remained under
Ihe snow for ahoul half an hour
before he could be found and tak
en out. Aside from bad bruises J
about the head and aims Venicky
is none the worse for his exper-j
ience. His most, dislinguishing !
badge is a beautifully darkened
opt ir.

PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS
WILL MEET IN CONVENTION
JUDGE WI0KER8HAM WILL BE NOMINATED AND THEODORE
R008EVELT WILL GET THE DELEQATION TO THE NATION
AL CONVENTION—GREAT CONSERVATION MOVEMENT
Tomorrow morning al. 10
o'clock the gavel will fall on the
Progressive Hepuhlican conven
tion, to convene in Kaglcs hall,
when it will be railed to order
by Kniory Valentino, oT Juneau,
as chairiuan of the Progressive
central committee.
In all probability I.. V. Hay, of
Seward, will be the temporary
ebairiiiaii ami I.. \V. Storm lem
[> rary secretary. There will be
bul few delegates present outside
<>f those from this immediate vi
cinity. the several districts being
represented |»y telegraphic prox
ies. whose voles will he east by
residents of the city, who are ad
herents of Teddy de Hon and
James Wickcrsham.
Thai Judge Wickershani will
be the nominee for delegate there
can he no question, as thai is
what the convention was called
for, and besides the'Hon. James
has said that he would accept the
nomination if it were tendered
him by the convention, so that
settles it with the same degree of
certainty as if the whole job was
left to Tom Wikidel |<> consum
mate.
Without a doubt Wickcrshain
and (>. P. Hubbard will be elcd
ed as delegates to the national
convention, instructed I• • follow
Col. Hooscvell even lo the Sec
ond liegimeiit Armory, if the
apostle of Itryauisiii should de
termine In cease playinv on Taffs
cellar door.
For three lonu: day* now (ieo.
Ilaldwin has been fed his regular
doses of Hoosevelt rhubarb un
til he has become as meek as a
lamb and has been educated up
lo the point where he can utter
a faint cheer for the sage of Oys
ter Hay, although he does admit
feeling like a clam when lie does
it.
I.. V. Hay, who had fondly hoped
that Teddy had been put in a row
with other celebrated mummies
of history, has been made to re
alize the error of his bet. and is
prepared lo vote "aye" on I he in
structions provided he is permit-j
Ir«l In swallow ail extra large
dose «»f tartar emetic immediate
ly after.
r:. K. Ritchie lias not yet re
ceded Hie lliiril Rooseveit ian tie—
vim'. being absent from the city,
tuil lie will be given his'n im
mediately upon his arrival, which
will occur some lime this even
inu wlnm he arrives in a launch
from Cordova. The Irealment to
be accorded our municipal execu
tive will be a vigorous one, ow
ing |o I lie shortness of I lie lime
which I he reenllers of judicial!
«!eei?»iiins will have lo reform the
recalcilranl progressive. II. is
fondly hoped, however, lo have so
impressed Mr. Ililchie with a
sense of his sanclifiral ion and
heal iHeal ion as lo cause him to
see a saintly halo ahoul the ('las
sie head of (iillord Pinchot and
lo class Teddy as Ihe long lost
member of Ihe twelve apostles.
Not to be outdone by the Rig!
and Little Shacks in delivering J
Alaska over lo William Howard,!
it is the intention to send six
delegates to (lie national conven-i
lion in the fond hope of bringing
forth that mellow howl: "De
lighted."
The remaining delegates will;
be ||. II. I.eKevre, of Skagway;
K. Valentine, of Juneau; Frank,
J. Hunt, of Ketchikan, and Dr.
Frank M. Boyle, of this city. NoL
that these delegates lo the na
tional convention will all visit]
Chicago; I hey will merely project
Iheir astral spirits there and ifj
I hey are forlunale enough lo be!
classified as the genus respubli
cana. I hey will be permitted in
later days i»f learning that Judges
Hubbard and Wiekcrsliam cast J
their voles like true followers of
Ihe gieat "I am Him." Then, too,
it will save car fare. Thus will
harmony prevail in this the lifth
territorial convention lo be held
in Alaska this year, and thus will
conservation he perpetuated un-j
til Ihe day of evil thereof.
During the session* of the con
vention Ihe ladies are cordially;
invited lo attend, scats being re-!
served for them.
