ated from MT. Tustin, the opin- ion having been obtained after the said Tustin had accepted as a present CD one overcoat. There was much adverse critic ism both on the statement pre- pared by Tustin and in the man. ner of procuring it. The recent trial demonstrates the worthless ness of Tustin's opinions, espec- ially when given under mitiga- ting circumstances. It also de- monstrates the fact that there are honest jurists and jurors in Alaska to whom the offering of an overcOat would, under the circumstances, be resented as an insult.

THE opening of new mines along the coast is doing much to build up the two coming cities of Southeastern Alaska i. e. Wrangel and 'Ketchikan. 'The latter point in particular is ex- periencing great boom or rath- CT healthy growth. The for ces which have made such cities as Denver, Cripple Creek and many other substantial mining cities will in time bring Wran- gel and Ketchikan to the front and make them friendly rivals for the distinction of being the metropolis of Alaska. There is no question but what the miner al exists in paying quantities at thousands of places in South eastern Alaska; and all that is required is labor and capital to discover and develop the proper ties. One year ago Ketchikan was practically unknown to the outside world. To day it is spoken of all over the country. as being a great mining country and one that is fast coming to the front. At the same time Wrangel is receiving attention from the fact that it is not only the center of a good country along the coast, but it is also the gateway to the Interior, via the Stikeen River and the only prac- tical starting point for the great mlnes of Omineca and Cassiar.

THE burlesque on "Tustin's Code" "Section 674, which ap- peared as part of the perfor- nance in the Opera House a few nights ago, and which received exclusive mention in the columns of the JOURNAL, is still the talk of the town, and whenever, or wherever the matter is mention ed it evokes a great deal of mer- riment. Evidently, this pains the King to a certian extent, for he has made an effort to discov- CT the source from which it all eminated. The source has nev- CT been shrouded in mystery and if the King really desires any information on the subject it will be given him cheerfullv up on application at this office.

THE latest news from Glenora reveals a condition of suffering too horrible to picture, on the part of prospectors who attemp- ed to reach the KlOndike by way of Edmonton. It is estimated that at least three hundred lives have been lost in this death trap and later news may reveal even a worse condition. Dead bodies of men and ani1na als are strewn along the entire stretch of coun- try from Edmonton to Dease Lake, and many suffering per
 sons remain on the road who are unable to get out without assis- tance, There is a movement on foot to have the United States and Canadian Governments join in sending a relief expedition over the ground to pick up such stragglers as have not already perished of cold and hunger, and scurvy. In one case a man stuck up a sign on tree which read: Hell can't be any worse than this trail! I'll chance it.' Af- ter having done that he deliber- ately committed suicide. The responsibility for sending men to their death over this almost impossible trail rests with the Canadian Government and the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was their desire to secure for Canadian merchants the supply ing of outfits for prospectors and this desire caused them to dis cover two all Canadian routes. One via Edmonton, and the oth- CT via Ashcroft. These routes were almost entirely unknown until the Klondike craze struck the country, and then of course anything in the shape of route was brought prominent ly before the people. It is dis
 grace to Canada and Canadians which time will never efface.

In several instances, of late, he has shown that he was wrong in re fusiug jury to Harry Nelson without prepayment of the cost. The Court brought about this change of action gradually; the first step being to grant jury trial on affieavit that the defen- dent was unable to pay the cost. At the present time, jury trial is allowed by defendent simply making the demand. This is a complete victory for the JOUR- NAL, as it proves that the ground taken by us was correct. The law on the question is very simple. It says that no man

UovFarles Fish.

Down among the oaks and otner
timber that line the shores OF the
Merry Meeting bay colony Of eagles
have lived for generations. During
the summer months they subsist large
ly on fish. The mode OF procuring
them is very ingenious. Any time they
may be seen perched upon conven-
lent stump or bough near t he water $
edge, like gray, grim sentinels, 81
lently waiting for something to turn
up. That something is a fishhawk,
aud when he makes his appearance
and slowly circles around in search OF
his prey, the eagles eye is following
him, and when at last he succeeds IN
bringing up fish the eagle starts IN
pursuit. Being swift of wing, he soon
overtakes the hawk, who makes slight
effort to get away, but without avail.
The eagle scales under the hawk, who
by this time becomes so thoroughly
frightened that it drops the fish, which
is easily caught in the talons OF the
eagle, who flies swiftly to the shore
aud devours the stolen meal.-from
