TO THE PUBLIC.

The Journal, fully impressed with the importance of Wrangel as prospective mining centre, and Of the great advantages to accrue to the business interests of the town by encouraging men to prospect in good faith, has es. tablished a mining feature to it's office.
 We will arrange to exhibit specimens of rock in one of our large office windows, and invite claim owners to leave their specimens with us for inspection by the public. We will receive such specimens upon the follow ing conditions only:
 The owner must state the name of the location; date and place of location; if assays are had, a copy of the assay, giving name of assayer: the amount of work done upon the claim; il short we want from each person leaving specimens, an open and honest statement of everything relating to the location which will give an intelligent conception of it.
 If the property is for sale we will try to sell it for fair com mission. If capital is needed to aid in development, we will en- deavour to supply it.
 Our paper is growing in cir culation and influence and we will be pleased to give the widest circulation to it's mining depart ment. We hope the business men of the town will see the possible advantages to be deriv ed from this effort, and that they will do what they can to create a splendid exhibit for the infOr- nation of those who will in the future visit us with a view ot purchasing or developing mining property.

There is but one thing to be done in such cases, and that is for the various communities to get together in convention to discuss and determine upon a form of government for Alaska, with the right of representation in Congress, the right of an elective home legislature and executive. As between Alaska and Oregon, there is nothing in common. We have practically ceased to have trade communi- cation with her. There are so many features here so dissimilar to and at variance from hers, that to find an Oregon law fitted to a particular case arising upon a differing condition here, would be impossible.
 We would like the newspapers of Alaska to take up this ques tion and keep at it consistently until we shake off this incubus of having a dozen sponsors $500 miles away, who never were in Alaska and never will be; who think tho whole country a howl ing ice-bound wilderness and that every man in it is either a renegade from Oregon or a fugi- tive from justice or d--d fool.

SATURDAY. JAN. :, l899


 In the November Atlantic Monthly, David Starr Jordan, gave us a chapter upon what he is pleased to call "Colonial Les sons of Alaska
 It is grabbed, cabined and con- fined, and shows the ear marks of the schoolman.
 His idea of resources cen. fined to seals and salmon and his remedy, for want of judg- ment is to supply an autocrati- cracy, with enlarged powers on all fours, with Canada's policy in the North West Territory, in the person of Governor Ogilvie, and to lease the rights to fish the rivers to large canning compan- ies, for a consideration.
 With all respect to Mir. Jordon, we don't need anything of the kind. The seal killing leases were mere laws for individual profit, discreditable to the men in the league. The pretence of protection was a lie and all prac- tical men of the country have known it for years.
 Ever since the accession of the territory in 1867, we have been fair game for political theivery. We have had over 30 years of 1t, and they are still at it.
 What did we buy from Russia: For comparatively nothing, we took into our national estate, a region fifth as large as the rest of the United States, with it's incomparable coast lines, as long as all the rest, with tenfOld more harborages than the bal ance of the continental coast lines of both oceans can offer, from Cape Horn to the frozen north. One-ifth as large as 43 soyerign states and 5 territories, into which a white population is rushing to stamp their impress upon every acre of it.
 We took Alaska with native population of 32, GOO hybrids, the spawn of Russians and Chinese with the aborigines. These peo- pie will fall under the memorable law of survival The white mans potlatch of poteen and en- croachment upon the peaceful preserves of his hunting and fishing and debauchment of the women, will swiftly and irrevoc- ably exterminate them. The fight is on now to wrestle with the country for what there is in

llVlng questions affecting men and women whose hands have made waste places to blossom with the fruits Of a christian century civilization.
 No country, not even Central Africa, has been so misconceiveu of as Alaska. Within the next 20 years, thousands of miles of railroad will be in operation;
 thousands of farms; thousands of cattle ranges, covered with
 horses and mules and sheep and
 horned cattle, will be found in
 Alaska. Skagway will be a city of 200, 00people; Juneau, 80, GOO;
 Wrangel, 30, GOO. The product of our mines will exceed those of California and Colorado cOmbin- cd. To abuse the transportation companies for lying about trails and outputs, is puerile. Of course they lied. They lied 30 years ago at the Frasier River
 rush and 50 years ago about California. All our great west ern cities are the offspring of
 booms built upon lies. Tens of
 thousands fall by the wayside,
 both physically and financially,
 but, there came ten men to take each of their places It will be
 so in Alaska in particular, be-
 cause from excessive moisture
 it is and will be hard field to
 prospect. Climatically it is far
 better than many north eastern center supporting large popul-
 ations. Wrangel is a better all
 the year climate than Colorado,
 that mecca for the consumptive,
 which boasts of over 300 sun shiny days in the year. Men come in here from high, dry eli mates, shrivelled and yellow as shrimps, and take on flesh, mus cle and health in a few months. Our water ways are an ''open door" for the cheapest of all transport, the ship. Now, under such conditions and in respect of such a people; sort of gov- ernment does Alaska need? Not such as Mir. Jordon calls our col onial government. We are not a colony, but an integral part of the whole of our common coun- try, territory of the United States. More than that, we are fast rushing upon the verge of a precipitation into full fledged so fast that our needs demand the exercise of the right of home rule. Today it is not question of denying by law the right of white man to drink for fear an Indian will get it, but a question which will not be de- denied, the right to fashion our own laws and choose our pub- lie servants. The day has gone by when we are to be made a ground for a horde of cheap political hacks whose abi- lities and party influences are too small to commend them to more and comfortable seats.
 Alaska has now, no responsi- ble government. Certain counts, in disjointed pretence at gov ernment, have found an acciden- tai assignment to the secretaries at Washington. The Treasury head looks to the coast charting, the coast patrol, the care of ani- nal life, the prohibition of in- tOXicants and the control of the

 Gen. fappan made an effort to have the house take up the Kimben state house bill. but Mir Johnson called for the deaf-mute ap- propration bill, which had the right-of- way. The house went into committee Of the whole to consider the blll item by item.
 Where the bill proposed an increase over the appropriation of two years ago. the house knocked out the increase.
 After all the amendments offered had been acted upon, the bill went over.
 The state house bill was next in order, but an effort was made to have 1t displaced with another appropriation bill
 The speaker ruled that the new state house bill was an appropriation bill, and could be deferred only by a two. thirds vote.
 An 9nal was taken from this decision. and the bassi0H Of the matter took up most of the afternoon. The speaker was sustained in his decision, but motion to adjourn pre- vailed and no action was taken on the bill.

HAD TO DODGE THE POLICE.
John l.. Sullivan Narrowly Escaped Arrest at Astoria, Wash, for
 Violating Sunday Law.

Astoria, Wash, April 1s.-John L. Sullivan, while here, was compelled to hide to prevent arrest. The church people of this city swore out a war. rant for the arrest of Sullivan on charge of violating the law by ap- bearing in a boxing contest on Sun day. Manager Selig, of Fishers opera house was also charged with the off, fense of conducting a theater on the Sabbath. The warrant for the arrest of Sullivan was placed in the hauds of Constable Wickman, and that of ficer tried to serve it. Sullivan, how ever, had been told of the officers coming, and he was not to be found. While the performance was still going on, Sullivan stole quietly out Of the stage entrance and made his way to his special train, which was scheduled to pull out at II o'clock for Victoria. Officers were at the depot to arrest him, but he took refuge in the engine, and thus eleuded his pursuers. Sulli- van donned the garb of an engineer at the depot, and was at the throttle when the train pulled out.

The Little Rock Turnfest.

One of the most unique and interest ing celebrations ever held in the south will be that of the St. Louis District of the North American Gymnastic Union whose annual funniest will this year be held in Little Rock on the 18th, 14th and 18th of May. The district embraces the societies of western Illinois, Mis- souri and Arkansas. A number of the Tennessee societies will also be present. Upwards of 20 societies will participate in the tournament, which will result in a most instructive exhibit of the advan- tages of systematic physical training A special feature will be the mass cal isthenics, accompanied by music and singing, and the outdoor sports embrace everything in the gymnastic line, in cluding foil and sabre fencing. One of the features of interest will be the ex- hibtion drill of 5000 pupils of the Lit tie Rock public schools, who will sim ultaneously go through the evolutions, Illustrating what has been accom- plished in one years physical training Hundreds of the educators of the state will be there to see this sight. The railroads are all workingin the interest of the funniest, and have made rate of one fare for the round trip The ex- hibition is really grand educational event and will convincingly illustrate the benefits of physical training. Geo Doerner, secretary of the citizens com. mittee having the entertainment in charge, will cheerfully furnish any one program upon application.

Over one thousand delegates from all sections of the state, representing every avenue of business, attended the convention held in Little Rock April 12th, called for the purpose of taking formal action on the effect of the anti trust law. Speeches were made by number of gentlemen prominent in the affairs of Arkansas, and resolutions were adopted praying the legislature to either amend the law, or adopt some means defering the enforcement of that part of it affecting fire insurance com panies. No uncomplimentary remarks were made about the members of the general assembly, and the resolutions were in the nature of a request, at the same time pointing out the hardships the law works on those compelled to carry insurance. Attorney-GeneralJ Jeff Davis addressed the convention, taking the position that the law is a just one, and should not be amended. Ex-Gov. Clarke also addressed the convention, taking the view that the law, in so far as it meant to check the operations of trusts and combines, was In the right direction, but the speaker thought it would have been better policy for the attorney-general to have given notice that after a reasonable time the law would be enforced, thus giving the business men and insurance companies time to adjust matters in some way so as 10 comply with the provisions of the apt
