BEER MUST PAY ITS TAX.
Senate VIII Amend the War Revenue BIN
on the showing Made by Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt.

Washington, Feb. Sit is under
stood to be the purpose of the SEN
ate to amend the war tax bill so that
the brewers will be relieved of but 30
cents tax instead of 60, the remaining
war rate above ST.. On this question
the president is interested. He sent
for Chairman Payne and Representa-
tive Grosvenor to call their attention
to the extreme risk which a total
abolition of the war taxes would place
the majority in should the canal bill,
ship subsidy, irrigation, rivers and
harbors, and, lastly. Cuban reciprocity
bills, be passed.. The revenues would
not be sufficient to carry these meas
ures into fulfillment, and without re.
gard to whether any or all of them
might become laws, the president adj
vised the representatives named that
the reduction on beer should be en-
empted from the rest of the war
taxes and not be made complete.

If any person had predicted ten
years ago that within that period in
the future Alaska would contain a
busy population of nearly $4,000, and
that there would be projected by re-
sponsible parties railroad traversing
the territory a distance of 400 miles
to a point on Boring strait with q
view of connecting with the Trans
Siberian road, the prediction would
have been regarded as visionary. Yet
that is the situation to-day, and there
is reason to believe that the develop
ment of Alaska has just begun.

Unfortunately, on the other hand. it is
not only the deadly mosquitoes that are
Objectionable. The ordinary ones, who
"sing and suck the whole night through, "
remain one of the greatest of earthly
plaques, from the swamps of the tropics
to the bogs of Alaska, where they some
times kill the dogs of the Indians
and drive miners to the verge of insa-
nifty or suicide. In our neighborhood
they make life a burden, lower the
price of real estate, and render some
Of the choicest sites uninhabitable.
1t is therefore encouraging to note
that the war upon mosquitoes begun by
men of science and military boards of
health, is being taken up vigorously by
communities and private individuals
in many localities, A good beginning
was made last year, and there are in
dications that the work will be done on
much larger scale this summer. The
time to open the campaign is now, as
the mosquitoes begin to breed as soon
as the weather turns warmer The
three most effective methods of fighting
this plague are drainage, kerosene, and
the introduction of fishes which eat the
| larvae.

departure for the West Indies, the
real object Of his trip has been made

impracticable to build the naval station
at San Juan, and that aside from this
he states, that San Juan can be said to
be one of of the poorest ports in the
West Indies, and that to put it in any
sort of shape for large vessels would
necessitate the expenditure of vast
sum of money. How far this opinion
will go towards influencing the final
action af Congress is not known, but it
is positively ascertained that Admiral
Bradford was sent to the West Indies
