Died.

MARY, beloved wife of James Pianfet- ii, died at her home in Treadwell City, Alaska, on Sunday, Dec. 7th, of con- sumption, aged 24 years, 9 months and 21 days.
 Mary Bellino was born in Italy, and came to America with her parents at the age of two years. She was married to James Pianfetti, at Iron Mountains Mich, on April 17th, 1892. Six years ago they moved to Douglas Island. For the past year the insidious disease has been gradually sapping the strength, and on Sunday last, after weeks and months of patient suffering, the young wife and mother passed away.
 The sorrowing husband and four chil- dren, all girls ranging in size from 4 to 9 years, survive her.
 The funeral services were held at the Catholic church in Douglas, on Tues day afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. Father Bougis officiating. Burial at the Douglas cemetery.

Hurrah for Teddy!

On December 1st the Fifty Seventh Congress assembled at Washington, b. c.
 On Dec. 2d the Presidents message was read. Alaska was not forgotten. Read what the chief executive says about the needs of Alaska, and rejoice that our season of neglect is over:
 especially urge upon the Congress the need of wise legislation for Alaska. It is not to our credit as nation that Alaska, which has been ours for thirty five years, should still have as poor a system of laws as is the case. No coun- try has more valuable possession--in mineral wealth, in fisheries, furs, for ests, and also in land available for cer- tain kinds of farming and stockgrowlng. It is territory of great size and varied resources, we'll fitted to support large permanent population
 Alaska needs good law and such pro visions for homesteads and preempt- ions as will encourage permanent set clement. We should shape legislation with view not of the exploiting and abandoning of the territory, but to the building of homes therein. The land laws should be liberal in type, so as to hold out inducements to the actual settler whom we most desire to see take possession of the territory.
 The forests of Alaska should be pro tected, and, as a secondary but still important matter, the game also, and at the same time it is imperative that the settlers should be allowed to cut timber, under proper regulations, for their own use. Laws should be enact ed to protect the Alaska salmon fish cries against the greed which would destroy them. They should be preser. ved as permanent industry and food supply. Their management and con- trol should be turned over to the Com mission of Fish snd Fisheries. Alaska should have delegate to Congress. It would be we'll if Congressional com mittee could visit Alaska and inVesti- gate it's needs on the ground.

II am told that she is the most beau

was as diplomatic as the words and
action of the Marquis Medina, Span

Queen Elizabeth, who had been I'D
miring his elegance and complimentlng
him on 1t, at the same time begged to
know who possessed the heart of so
accomplished cavalier. Madame"

will is law. Excuse me, however, If /

Nation. Once Great.

From old writings many curious
facts are obtained. Among other
things, 1t would seem that Korea, to-
day more dead than alive, was ut one
time formidable power, military and
naval; that the Japanese at long In
tervals changed from peaceable neigh
bors into marauders and freebooters
worthy of Sir Walter Raleigh, Fro.
bisher and Drake; that Manipur, AS
sam, Burma and Tonquin Mt various
epochs were strong belligerent COM
munfies In the far east; that Cambo-
dia and Cochin China were populous,
rich and warlike civilizations, where
now the tiger prowls and the serpent
glides; TINT the island of Ceylon was
the scene Of brilliant and brave dy-
nasties. which followed one another
like the waves on the shore, and at
times the Tartar nomads who live to
the north, northeast and west Of Asia
were gathered into great armies and
nations by unknown Tamerlanes and
Zenghis Khans.
