WAS KEY ON THE WAY EAST Congressional Delegate Says Mining Laws Xeed Careful Revision and Northern Citizens Demand, Territorial Rights. SEATTLE Oct. 16. (Special.) 'The Pay Streak" Is the name that Alaskans will propose to the 1909 fair manage ment, according to Congressional Dele gate Frank H. Waskey, for the lane of special attractions and sideshows that will be one of the features of the Alaska- AT THE WEDDING Yukon-Paclnc Exposition. It should have a drawing: power similar to "The Midway" at Chicago, "The Pike" at St. Louis, or "The Trail" at Portland. If the fair management adopts the suggestion the popular slogan of 1909 is destined to become "Strike the Pay Streak." This phrase was proposed ' on board the steamship Saratoga on her re cent trip down from Nome and received the indorsement of all passengers. It is expected that bedrock is going to be near the surface on the pay streak, and Mr. Waskey says that the miners will Insist on having the attractions located strictly in accordance with mining lingo. Accordingly the shows on either side shall be identified as being on the right or left rim, which Is the way placer properties are described looking down stream. Mr. Waskey is the first delegate elected from Alaska to represent it In Congress. He will serve a short term, or the un expired portion of the fifty-ninth session from December to March. Thereupon, Thomas Cale, of Fairbanks, will suc ceed him, serving the long term. Mr. Waskey arrived in Seattle from Nome yesterday, his first appearance here since the election. "The time that I will have in Wash ington," Delegate Waskey remarked in discussing the course that he Intended to pursue, "will be so short that I do not look to accomplish any results. But I am going to try hard to pave the way as best I can for Mr. Cale, who will succeed me. At best, the Alaska dele gate Is going -to have a pretty hard time, because his position will be the same as that of the other territorial delegates in Congress. He wlllhave a seat and a voice, but no vote. The Alaska delegate will be able to tell the other legislators what Alaska wants and needs, and it will be for them to grant or reject it." As viewed by Mr. Waskey, Alaska's most urgent need is stricter mining reg ulations that will reduce litigation to a minimum and make such discouraging tangles as prevail at present impossible. Mr. Waskey says he refers particularly to placer mining and quotes the repu table miners as being anxious to get legislation that will make It harder to locate placer claims. As the present law Is construed in Alaska, Mr. Waskey contends that the welfare of the coun try Is not served. "The law must define the discovery of gold, Mr. Waskey continued. "What constitutes a discovery now Is general ly no discovery at all. A man simply goes out and puts down his stakes and then records the location. This makes it possible to tie up a lot of property. Judge Wlckersham has held, in the Tanana country that to make a dis covery of gold, a man must find actual pay on bedrock. But this construction does not prevail generally throughout Alaska." Another atnise to be overcome in the new law Is the manner in which so called assessment work is done. The locator is expected to do work amount ing to $100 each year on every 2J acres of ground; but Mr. Waskey ex plains that there Is a sliding scale as to what constitutes $100 worth of work. He also says that where eight men together locate 160 acres as an "association claim, they have only been doing $100 worth of work on the eight claims to hold them a year, whereas they should be compelled to do eight times that amount. The needs of Alaska are almost legion, according to Delegate Waskey; but be does not intend to urge immedi ate relief along all lines, preferring to conserve his forces for better min ing regulations first, as he regards this as being Alaska's first Interest. In fact, Waskey and Cale were elected by the miners with the understanding that they would work for stricter min ing laws. Mr. Waskey knows from ex perience at Nome what the vicious ef fects of the present laws are. He says the Alaskans want special legislation, and do not want to be construed as suggesting anything for the rest of the country, as their conditions in the Northland are peculiar to the region. In time to come, Alaska will expect to have territorial rights conferred upon it, Mr. Waskey stated At pres ent It Is under the flag, but not under the Constitution, according to the Del agate, not being recognised as an in p " - A M : ; tegral part of the United States. Mr. Waskey declares that Alaskans are the best of Americans, and will expect to be recognized as such. As It stands now, Alaska is a district governed under a special act of Congress. What Government roads have beeit built by the War Department are good, Mr. Waskey says; but the country now needs local roads leading from the supply points to the developed mines along the lines of steady traffic. There is room for improvement in the tele graphic facilities in the extension of lines, and Mr. Waskey notes that better mail accommodations are badly needed. To improve the service in Winter, he recommends the flagging of trails. Mr. Waskey heartily approves of the work that has been done by the Geo logical "Survey about Nome. The con tour maps are xf great benefit to pros pectors, he says, and adds that the benefits can be extended by making complete stratalgraphical maps of all districts. Men should be kept in Alaska all the year through, according to Mr. Waskey, with special details to study the old beach lines at Nome and to prepare & contour map of bed rock. PRICE OF FIR LOGS GOES UP No Change in Spruce and Cedar on Gray's Harbor. HOQTJTAM, Wash., Oct. 16. (Spe cial.) The price of flr logs has been raised on Gray's Harbor during the past few days from $9.90 to $10 per thousand, cedar and spruce remaining firm at $.50. This is something unex pected in the price of logs, as hereto fore the latter kind of logs have de manded better prices than fir. The raise Is due to the shortage of cars, making a great demand for flr. as this is the kind of lumber which is being shipped by cargo to foreign and Cali fornia points. SHOOTS D tiBBSFH LOGGER ARRESTED AT CASTLE ROCK FOR CRIME. Fritz DIerks, Left for Dead, Re vives and Identifies His Assailant. CASTLE ROCK. Wash.. Oct. 16. (Spe cial.) Between 11 and 12 o'clock last night Fritz Dierks was shot and beaten Into insensibility and then robbed and left for deal in a lonely spot in the lower part of town by Tom Miller, with whom he had been working at a logging camp near here for some time. The two men were in town together and . had made the rounds of the saloons, Dierks in the meantime getting a check for a consid erable amount cashed. About 11 o'clock Miller proposed that they go to his room, as it was too late to go back to camp. To this Dierks as sented, but Instead of going to any room Miller conducted his victim to an un frequented spot and deliberately shot, beat and robbed him and left him for dead. People living near heard the shot, but did not pay much attention to it. After a little time Dierks recovered consciousness and crawled to a fence, where he was able to pull himself up, and by holding on made his way to a house, where by shouting he attracted the attention of the inmates! Dierks was taken to a hotel, where his wound was dressed, and the bullet, which en tered his face through the left cheek. was probed for, but has not yet been found. He was taken to a Portland hos pital on this afternoon's train. Miller was arrested about 2 o'clock while waiting in the depot to take the east-bound train. He denied the crime, but was positively identified by his vic time when taken before him. Miller was taken to Kalama and is now in the county jail. When searched, the money of his victim was found on him, besides quite a sum which is as yet unaccounted for. Dierks, the victim, has lived In this vicinity a number of years, where he has relatives, and is an industrious man. Miller has been here some months, but does not appear to be very well known. Public indignation is very much aroused. Fritz Dierks, the Castle Rock logger, who was brought to St. Vincent's hos pital yesterday afternoon, is still in a serious condition. He rested easily dur ing the night rfnd the doctors hope the man will recover. EMBEZZLEMENT FROM ESTATE Charge Brought Against Administra tor Halstead at Tacoma. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 16. (Special.)

"Weakness" is merely an Indica tion of a low form of Inflammation in the prostate gland, and this in flammation is but aggravated by stimulating remedies that excite tem porary activity.
