Special TO the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Sept 8.-The candidates for
state offices are coming out of the
woods, and a full -fledged list OF entries
for the campaign next year is in early
prospect. The indications are that the
fight will be actually on by the first of
January, if not sooner.
The race for governorship is actually
in progress at present, and some of the
aspirants are manifesting much activity,
attending all public gatherings OF conse-
Quence held in various parts of the state.
Messrs. Noel, McClurg and Vardaman
are moving about quite lively, and Prof.
Kincannon is prevented from doing go
only by the injuries received some time
since in a railroad accident. Lieuten-
ant Governor Harrison, who is also in
the field, is allowing no opportunity to
pass to further his political interests
and expects to be considerable factor
in the fight.
At this stage of the game prophecies
as to the result are idle, but the general
opinion seems to be that the battle at
the finish will between Mes.rs. McClurg
and Kincannon, and it is believed that
the crop of candidates will be weeded to
a stand even before the date for the pri-
mary is named
For the minor state offices there is a
host of prospective candidates. Hon. T.
Nj. Henry is looming up strong for the
Office of state auditor. He is at present
the deputy auditor, and will make a
brilliant race for the place, probably
being opposed by Hon. T. R. Maxwell,
Of DeSoto. Hon. w. Q. Cole is expected
to make the race for insurance commits
sioner, the newly created Office. For
secretary of state Hon. J. W. Power,
the present incumbent, is likely to be
opposed by Maj. S. A. Jonas and Q. o.
Eckford, of Aberdeen, and L. Pink
Smith, of Greenville.
The attorney .generslship is seemingly
unsought for. no prospective candidates
being in the field except Hon. VIM. Will
Iams, the present assistant. State Su-
perintendent of Education n. L. Whit.

Land Commissioner Nall. ReYenu,

 A few weeks ago also chronicled the fact tha, a United States mail contractor on Norton bay mar rowly escaped death at the hands of drunken native maddened with whisky and reckless of human life. The native meant harm to the mail contract or, but the lesson remains.
 Knowing these facts, have the United States authorities, located in Nome taken solitary step to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors to natives, or to apprehend the vile scoundres who are engaged in the traffic Again, think not.
 The excuse be set up that there are no "funds for this purpose" But that is no excuse There are funds that may be used for this selisame pur- pose. The officials have plain duty to perform Let the proper authority to it that these illegal pedders of whisky be run down and arrested Then let them receive condgn punishment, unmxcd with any false or mistaken sympathy.

WHAT ALASKA HAS PRODUCED.

Lately we have received copy of monograph prepared by the Treasury Bureau of Stat stc nttled "Commercial Alaska" in which it is stated that ii 1867 Alaska, for which the Unie cd State p'il Russia $7 100000. has supplied furs fish and gold amount ing to about $15O,0)0O00 in value. about equally divided between these three item; that the invest 1nents of capia from the United States in Alaska are probably $25,C0O,OOO, with large additional sum invested in transportation to this territory; ard that the annual shipments of merchandis to Alaska now aggregate more than $l2,O00,000, and have ag- gregated since the purchase nearly quite $lOOOOO- GOO. Meantime the population has grown from an estimated 3OOO0 at the date of the purchase to 32O52 in 1890, 63,592 in 1900 and an estimated S50OO at rhe present time.
 The number of fur seals taken the Pribilof islands fem 1870 to 1901 is 2,1S7. 3i7, whose value is estimated $35 OOOO00 and the value of the seal and other furs taken since the purchase of Alaska by .he United States ie estimated at about $5O0O0,OO0 The fur seal industry which has declined in the past few years, was succeeded by the fishing, industry Alaska now supplying about one half of the salmon of the country. The value of the salmon pack last year is estimated at about $7OO0OOO and the total value of the fish taken in Alaska since the purchase about 0OOO O00, while the value of gold and silver mined since the purchase is also about $5OOO000O
 And still Alaska continues to be the step-chld of Uncle Sam.

THE NATIVES' WORST ENEMY.

THE NUGGET, in it's last issne, recorded another
 tragedy among the natives of this coast, the direct of which is directly raceable to the illegal traffic in whisky which Is carried on almost openly and in absolute defiance to law and the officers who adminis- ter it.
 The Penny river tragedy, in which one native wan tonly killed fellow Eskimo, and cut the throat of another though not fatally, and seriously wounded woman, is directly chargeable to vagabond white who supply the natives with whisky. There is a stringent law against this rearous practice but these men care nothing fer law its administrators. 0ecarionally'a white is caught, but he is usually let off bypaynga small fine else he is imprisoned in jail for two three months. The fact ofthe mat ter s the officials whose duty it is to administer and enforce the law which forbds the selling giving ntexieants to Indians, by far too enien the law s mild for this crime, it seems to us should be made felony:
 A few days ago we chronicled the death of an Eskimo infant due believe; to freezing, while its parents were in state of debauch caused by the white mans whisky. In an. endeavor to'warm the dead child into life, its drunken progenitors roasted st in astove., Has there, we ask, been any at- tempt the part of the United States authorities to bring the perpetrators of this fearful justice Not so far anyone has been informed! The money wrung in taxes from the people of Alaska has been used for many strange purposes in the past by jndicial authority, but has one dollar ever been ex- pended forhe purpose of saving poor native from the outrageous practices of debauched white men We think not. Murder may be committed; rapine may prevail, the poor devil of Eskimo, isreason unhingsd for the time being by fiery "hootch," may bt tapprehended and punished. willie the persons up- s whom the rssl responsibility reststhess who fur.

NATURE AND GOLD DEPOSITS.

Mature never made any part of any country or cline without purpose" said citizen of Nome the other day. And then he proceeded elaborate upon his text the central idea being that this section of Alaska being good for nothing else. Nature, (with a big "N") in her generosity had planted much gold in the earth for to deve for. For this philosopher reasoned that the gold belt of Seward peninsula located in country of equabe climate, the amount of gold which it would produce would make it mon article of commerce. that is to say, its intrinsic value would be greatly icssencd.
 The proposition laid down is unique one. We believe in the great gold bearing probabilities of Sew ard peninsula. It to have been fairly well demonstrated that immense gold belt extends through its entire length and breadth, and there s
 little doubt that if this climate like that of Cali forna the amount of gold that would be produced within short time would startle world that has become accustomed to prodgious things. But as to Nature and her idea of planting gold in otherwise barren and unhosptable region: We confess that we are unable to understand the old Dames train of thought. understand why she created the desert of Sahara the arid regions of the west when she might just easily have supplied them plenti fully with water and made the deserts unrivaled oases. We might we'll, however, accept Natures handiwork without question; may attempt to di. vine her reasons but it must be in feeble way, be- cause Nature is supreme and infinite, and but grow cling finite atoms of an infinite universe.

writer in one of the outside newspapers, last fall ntimated that the Cooper Trust" was delaying legislation for Alaska, for the probable reason that the trust were averse to having the great copper belt of the Copper river country exploited We are of the opinion that the fear expressed has no foundation in fact The power of the copper trust is great. but we scarcely think it has been cxerted in this direction The copper trust magnates would be far more likely to gobble the copper properties and let Alaska look out for herself unhindered and unaided by them
