THK CHISANA MLNIXU DECISION
The opinion rendered by Judge
Brown yesterday in the Chisana
mining cases, upon the power of
attorney requirements of the Wick
! rrsham act is a splendidly written
| contribution to the law of mining,
says the Cordova Alaskan. It re
veals an extensive knowledge and
keen apprciation of 'he conditions
in the Alaska interior. This opin
ion will find its place among the
mining law classics of Sawyor and
Field and those early western judg
es whose decisions developed what
is now the "common law of min
ing."
They had few precedents to
guide them, for conditions in Cal
ifornia and the golden west were
so entirely different.. They estab
lished as an underlying principle,
however, that the prospector must
be treated liberally. The first dis
coverer must be given his reward. J
Frequently he was in remote re- j
gions without means of communi
cation with the outside world. Con-1
sequently he was neither informed I
nor equipped to comply strictly
with tho letter of the law. A strict
construction of his acts would prob
ably deprive him of his discovery
ia favor of a later arrival who
would come better informed as to j
tfce law because he had spent'
his time in the towns instead of
in the wilds.
Here in Alaska these liberal pro
visions have sometimes been abus
ed. The power of attorney abuse
became especially objectionable. The
WicKersham law was passed to
correct this abuse. Its require
ments are strict and must b^ ob
served and Judge Hrown holds, in
his construction of this new law,
that the power of attorney must
be recorded in order to uwke such
loiuiion valid. Howev r, it makes
no difference whether it is record
ed before or after the discovery
md other acts of location, if all
the acts necessaiy to a valid lo
cation are fully performed before
the right of others intervene.
It could mako no difference to
the plaiutiffs in th;»se cases wheth
er Billy James had recorded his
power of attorney before he staked
♦he ground or afterwards, for it
was ail done anyway t*-fore plain
tiffs arrived in the diggings. The
question was not decided as to
^iether James was e.vcured from
recording his po-Yef of attorney be
cause the new recorder had not
yet arrived and established the
recording office. The decision is
that James recorded in time any
way because he ha.1 completed all
acts of location and recorded his
notices and power of attorney be
fore any intervening rights.
Few Years Will See the End of
War; Sentiment of Peace
Applauded bu All
By ANDREW CARNEGIE
@ by American Press
Association.
IF THERE IS ANYTHING I LOVE IT IS AN OPTIMIST PEOPLE WHO
GO ALONG GRUMBLING ABOUT EVERYTHING MISS LIFE. THE
WORLD IS GROWING BETTER. YOU CAN GO EACK INTO HISTORY
AS FAR AS YOU LIKE AND YOU WILL FIND THAT IT HAS BEEN ONE
RESISTLESS MARCH UPWARD. THE WONDER IS THAT WE HAVE
ADVANCED SO FAR. YOU FIND THE SENTIMENT FOR PEACE AP
PLAUDED BY EVERY ONE. AND IF YOU WERE TO ASK THE RULER
OF ANY CIVILIZED-NATION WHAT HE CONSIDERED THE GREATEST
CRIME HE WOULO TELL YOU IT WAS THE KILLING OF YOUR FEL
LOW MEN. THERE IS NO CRIME EQUAL TO THAT.
It ha3 been said that this century will see the end of war. Why, I
expect to see practically the end of war! There was a treaty drawn
up between Britain, France and America which would have amounted t<>
that if it had been ratified. And if the senate had bc"ti consulted be
fore it was executed by the executive, as the senate had tlie right to be,
I believe that treaty or perhaps one better would now be in force.
NOW, I BELIEVE THAT BEFORE MR. WILSON GOcO OUT OF OFFICE
HE WILL SHOW THAT HE HAS THE SENSE. WISDOM AMD THE
KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS DUE TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES OF
THE GOVERNMENT TO ACCOMPLISH THE END BY MAKING A TREATY
THAT OTHER NATIONS WILL INDORSE.
Proposed to "Shut Out Illiterates Because
They Are-Immigrants"
By CYRUS L. SULZBERGER, New York Philanthropist
1 THINK THAT THE LITERACY TEST FOR IMMIGRANTS »6 A SHAM
AND A FRAUD; BECAUSE IT IS NCT WHAT IT PURPORTS TO BE.
ITS OBJECT IS NOT TO SHUT OUT IMMIGRANTS BECAUSE THEY
ARE ILLITERATE. ILLITERACY IS A DEFECT WHICH CAN BE REME
DIED. ITS OBJECT REALLY IS TO SHUT OUT ILLITERATES BECAUSE
THEY ARE IMMIGRANTS. AND IF THE ADVOCATES OF THIS MEAS
URE KNEW ANY OTHER WAY BY WHICH THEY COULD SHUT OUT
AN EQUAL NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS THEY WOULD NQT HESITATE
TO RESORT TO IT.
The arguments against this propos.nl have boon so well stated b\
President Cleveland, President Taft, Secretary Xagel and President
Wilson thai no further argument upon this subject should be necessary
It is President Wilson who said:
-I THINK THAT THIS COUNTRY CAN AFFORD TO USE AND OUGHT
TO GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO EVERY MAN AND WOMAN OF SOUND
MORALS. SOUND MIND AND SOUND BODY WHO COMES IN GOOD
FAITH TO SPEND HIS OR HER ENERGIES IN OUR LIFE. AND I SHOULD
CERTAINLY BE INCLINED. SO FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, TO SCRU
TINIZE VERY JEALOUSLY ANY RESTRICTIONS THAT WOULD LIMIT
THAT PRINCIPLE IN PRACTICE." * v

" /
Wo want to pat new* to all
old people about Retxall Olive Oil
Emulsion, a remarkable, new food
medicine which we firmly believe
is the best remedy ever made to
overcome the weakening, debilitat
ing effects of increasing old age.
It helps to rebuild wasted, tissues,,
strengthen the nerves, and give
new enerpy and a lively feeling to
tho-body. It contains no* alcohol or
dangerous drug. It may not make
you feet better • for a few days, Ibut
if you do not feel much better and
stronger before you have taken a
quarter as much as you have of
other medicines that have not heal
ed you, we will gladly give back
your moiey.
Kexall Olive Oil fc,raut6ion cou
tains pure Olivo Oil and the Hypo
phosphites which, thougfc they have
long been endorstd by successful
physicians, are here for the first
lime combined. The result is a peal
body, nerve and blood-bulldlng1
focd-medicine that wo believe'^ Itf
superior +o anything else in over-*
coming debility, weakness and lia5
bility to disease, %a nd to tone and
strengthen the norvea and enrich
the blood. You who are weak andJ
run-down—you Who are often troub^
led by various ^ cold weather ail
ments, use Rexall Olive Gil EmuU
sion to get and keep well and
strong. It is a sonsiblc. pleasant
tasting aid to renewed strength;
better spirits, glowing health. If
it doesn't help you, come and tell
us and we will give back your
money without a word. That is
how much faith wo have in It.'
