AN ANARCHIST ISLAND.

When the preaching of anarchy
bears its natural fruit in deeds Of
crime, then the law has but to work
in its accustomed grooves. When, on
the other hand, Wild-eyed fanatics
grow eloquent over an abstract anarch-
Ical theory, society can but tolerate
the rantings as best it may, enduring
much in the sacred cause of free
speech and personal liberty. But there
is third case. There are anarchistic
leaders who frankly proclaim their
doctrines and who, while refraining
from overt acts Of violence, do directly
incite men to such acts. These men
are the self-convicted enemies of So
Getty. determination not being just
iiable, what is to be done with them?
Strange diseases call for strange med
icines. Might it not be well to dedi-
cate some remote island to the ex-
elusive use of such anarchists? This
island might be set apart and guarded
by international agreement. Thither
might be sent all the enemies of law
and order, to preach and practice their
doctrines upon one another without
hindrance. There they might be in
dulged, without peril to the world, in
every liberty but liberty to lea,e their
own securely isolated domain.-The Il
Illustrated American
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1897-09-09

The first passenger street car OF the
West End Street Railway company en-

Wednesday. More than $50 people
were packed into the car, and the run
to Park street was made in just three
minutes, a saving in time over the
surface tracks of at least six minutes.
When completed cars will run from
Pleasant street and the public garden
to Causeway street, distance OF about
mile and half, under the most con-
gested portion Of the city. About
three-fourths of all the street cars that
pass through the congested district will
then go underground.
The attention OF the department of

the state of Iowa has attempted to dis
criminate against foreign insurance
companies doing business in the state.

REINDEER IN ALASKA.

The experiment begun by Dr.. Shell
don Jackson, an American missionary,
of introducing into Alaska herds of
reindeer from Siberia, has proved a
moderate success and the indications
are favorable for a steady growth
among the herds already dcmiciled in
their new home. Experts figure that,
only a question of time when there
will be a sufficient number of reindeer
in Alaska to meet the needs of q
million or more Of population, if des-
tiny has such an influx in store.
Importing and herding reindeer IN
til they are accustomed to their new
surroundings is by no means an easy
task. DR.. Jackson's plan of bringin s
q colony Of Lapps along with the first
importatiCns from Siberia was carried
cut successfully and subsequent events
showed the wisdom Of the plan. The
Lapps fulfilled their mission we'll, and
the slow and tedious process of break
ing in the young deer for transporta-
ton purposes could hardly have been
accomplished without their patience
and skill. 1t is now probable that na-
tive herders will supplant the foreign
ers and that by the time the population
of Alaska reaches material figures The
natural increase in the herds will prove
an inestimable blessing.
Differing from other animals capable
of supporting human life, the reindeer
fOrages for his own food and neve
fails to get it even amid the intensest
rigOrs of the arctic climate. He Dis
through several feet of snow VII
horns and hoofs and makes a luxurious
meal Of the superintendent moss which
literally covers the soil. The reindeer
can stand any degree &C cold and afte
being trained is more valuable &c.
transportation purposes than dogs, as
the latter's food has to be carried along
on pack trains. The RENDERS fle3l
is considered an epicureaE article o.
food by arctic travellers, which still
extra privation when it becomes u
question whether man or beast shall
be sacrificed. The RENDERS skin is
valuable for clothing and for shoes and
the milk of the doe is said to equal in
Iourishing power the finest dairy pro
duce Of more civilized lands. There
is thus a combination Of utilities that
makes this docile creature of the far
north friend indeed to mankind.
If reindeer had been native to Alaska
CT if their importation had been begun
q generation ago the food problem now
confronting several thousand advent
urous miners in the Klondyke region
would be more easy of solution Few
kinds OF game fit for human food are
indigenous to the region within the
arctic circle and the ice-locked streams
are useless as fisheries except during
certain months Of the year. Doubtless
another y ear will see a vast improve
ment in the facilities for forwarding
supplies to Alaska, but meanwhile the
spirit of adventure and quest for gold
has taken appalling risks. In the set
tlement of that far-off land the rein
deer will probably in time supplant the
dog trains and other primitive methods
Of transportation.

BY SLEDGE ACROSS SIBERIA

Siberian posting stations, it must be
understood, are not way-side inns. and
make few pretensions to providing ac-
cOmmodatlOn for travellers. AS the
sledges drive up to the bare-and to
the foreign eye, at least, uninviting-
log building, the traveller can form a
lair estimate of the probable accom-
modatlon he may expect from the size
and surroundings of the desolate-look-
ing spot. On dismounting he will be
ushered at once into the g11est-room
winch every station can boast, and
which in the average post-station is
the only one at the disposal of tray
elers, He Will find the apartment
thoroughly and enthusiastically Rus
sian OF the rustic variety. The room
may be large, but it is never lofty. and
he Will find it singularly bare of every
thlng which in any other part of the
world is associated with ideas of COM
fort. Clean and bare, with few seats
OF any kind, and those of the plainest,
It's principal feature the huge oven
like stove in the center, and it's only
attempts at ornament the Icon" or
image of the Virgin, with it's little
lamp or candle burning before it, in
one corner, and the equally omnipres-
ent portraits of the royal family scat
tered here and there about the walls.
In this room the traveller waits. and
usually eats, during the delay occa-
CT Inv Oh,
and should he be unfortunate enough
to be compelled to wait over a night
before he can procure them, he sleeps
here also, finding his own bedding and
wraps as a matter of course. Here
and there, indeed, a more extensive
establishment may be met with where
there are three or four guest-chambers
but even in such cases they are no
more than repetitions of the one de-
scribed. These large establishments
generally boast separate accommoda-
zion for the yemschiks, who otherwise
nave to find accommodation with the
family of the station-keeper, not I'M
frequently in single apartment The
posting yemschik, or driver, it must be
understood, is, like the relays of
ponies, attached to his own particular
station, and passes away with his
horses on receiving his drink money
of ten kopecs-a little more than five /
cents be relieved by new one
belonging to the next stage. He re-
fleets the various tribes and national |
tiles that inhabit the country, and may
be Russian, Cossack, a member of |
almost any Of the eastern tribes, or
even, on occasion, Manchu or a Mon |
gol. 1t matters little, however, what |
his nationality may be; in appearance /
this mummylike figure is very much |!
