h seems strange. indeed, that all the oppoSltion Go a territorial form Of govern men, for Alaska should come from that portion Of the district that would pfoh' mos, from che change. While |. Is sd- mI,,.d that Juneau has enjoyed great pros p.u,y during the years since ii came Into existence. and while there will be no at temp, Co minimize the force Of the familiar argument, 'lst well enough alOne' vel the great profit to the me'ch'n,s' property owners and business men generally Oi Ju- neau that would follow the creation Oi a territory Is so apparent that it would seem none there could fail to hail the prospect Ot a change.
 The people of S!<agwly Oi Kstlhikan' of Valdez and other points to the west ward. have conceded the capital of the propossd territory to Juneau. The gOv- .nor. th. secretary of the territory the auditor. the treasurer, and all the other territorial officers their assistants clerks etc. would of necessity be permanent resi- dents of that town. The legislature and the supreme court would hold thelI regu- lar sessions d, Juneau and fully % per cent. of the territorial funds would be eN- pended there. These institutions would draw to talt place all those having busi- ness with them. An this would mean gris, for the Juneau commercial mills to grind. The location Of a territorial or state capital has been a boon tor which towns have expended hundreds of thousands, lf, Indeed, not millions of d)llirs before now' and the tsopls of Alasl<l, who are demand Inga territorial form Of government ar great sisl. s Sss,ST TaRSsgS is ,Ss '.ss $ U |, store for the capital Of Alaski territory.
 There Is just one other phase Co this sit uatlon which the people Of June md twin sister, Douglas. should belr ln mind. The territory of Alaska Is not g'irg to remain a dream Of her more progressive people for ever. lt Is going to be a rea.iz ,tion and that a, a date not Tar distant Alreldv the great majority of the people are demanding lt, and the demand will become greater with the development of the unmelsure- able mineral. timber and agricultural re- sources of the district. The territory Is surely thing of the near future lf it cannot be secured with the assistance Of Junelu and Douglas, it will be secured in spite of their opposition. That has been the American way Of han ling its new ter rltoV-lt Is the governmental policy now as Is witnessed by the territories Of Ari- zona, New Mexico. Okhhoml and Ill., wall and the proposed Jefferson teui oy to be created out of old Indian territory. Now, while Che people of the district stand ready and anxious to make Juneau the capital of the greatest Of the mineral pro- ducing eommoawealths of the American Union, il Is not within reason that they should remlin so ii they shall be com pelled to get common justice and a fair measure Of Amsrieln freedom only after a battle to the death with the business men of that ei,y.

l listened attentively the other night
to a gentleman who gave me a great
deal of valuable information concern
ing these interesting regions. He knew
was a tenderfoot and a newspaper
reporter and felt at liberty, therefore, to
talk freely, so got lot of yarns about
polar bears and walruses and other
creatures, large and small. which are
not related in natural histories. I be-
lieve it was one of the advisers OF
"Alice In Wonderland" who suggested
that the best way to catch rabbit is
to get behind a stump and make
noise like carrot, and l learned with
great satisfaction that the easiest way
to catch polar bear is to hide behind
an iceberg and make a noise like the
aurora borealis. Polar bears are very
tame and. like newspaper reporters and
some other people, are gifted with in
curing minds. When stranger comes
out on the ice. they greet him cordially
and show a justitiable curiosity as to
his business and intentions. which
causes them TO fall an easy prey to the
parlor rug trust.-Norway Letter In

In an English paper there appeared
recently the veracioUs story of two
brothers who lived in the Rocky noun.
tains. They mad two rides. one bullet
and a keg of powder. Wish this outfit
they managed to kill Gu an avera &c
twcnty-seven head Of buffalo a day.
The way they managed was this: Broth
er No. would stand on one side of a
buffalo and shoot through il, the bullet
going into the barrel Of the rifle Of
Brother No. =, who stood on the other
side. Then Brother No. would fire
through the next buffalo into the rife
of Brother No. l, and SO on until the
days sport was over.
Some one who saw this story has
written TO say that he is acquainted
with man, a cousin, he thinks, of the
two mentioned, who also lived in the
Rocky mountains at one time. He had
one rife. one bullet and keg of pow
der, yet he managed to kill thirty head
of buffalo q day-buffaloes We're plenty
then-and the way he did it was this:
He was not only a champion shot, but
a champion runner, and when he fired
through a buffalo he would run around
and catch the bullet again to reload
with. and so on until he exhausted his
powder.
