Coal Miners and Operators
Fail to Agree.

The conference between repre-.
sentatives of the miners and coal
operators held in Washington
Tuesday with a view to reaching
a basis of settlement irrespective
of the efforts of the commission
ended suddenly in failure. a dis
patch from New York to the con
ferees stating that "The general
judgment of the operators is that
it will be best, for the present, to
go on with the hearing" Coun-
sci for the miners said he still
hoped that mutual ground could
be reached, but it is thought Mr..
Mitchell believes this unlikely,
since he left Washington for
Scranton soon after the conference
adjourned. The controversy in
it's present condition reverts to
its original course before the com
mission.

ALFALFA ROOTS.
Wonderful Growth and Ability e

WONDERFUL Growth and Ability to
Seek Water Deep In the Ground.
That alfalfa is deep roofing plant
is well known. An Onondaga coun-
ty On. " correspondent of Orange
Judd Farmer says: Hamlet Worker,
one of the leading dairy farmers of
this county brought me the most per-
fectly eXhUmcd root | ever saw. The
upper portion had been destroyed by II
cavcin of the soil. The missing por-
ton was carefully estimated ut 2la feet
long. The preserved portion measures
Is feet 10 inches. This plant was from
a field sown in April. 1891. The soil
is mixture of clay and sand on a
high knoll. At Il depth Of thirty inches
is a layer of very hard conglomerate
or cemented gravel. Below that is
coarse. sharp sand. The discovery of
this sand led to the opening of bed
and the destruction of the hill. Gradu-
ally the excavation had undermined
the meadow. and the thick, fibrous
roots of the alfalfa plants have formed
very pretty drnperics for the cave.
Mr.. Worker ut considerable trouble I'M
dertook To save the system Of a finely
developed plant and succeeded per-
fectly.
Tracing the Long TnproOt.
After clearing the sand from the
great mass of tibrous roots ut the low
est extremity, he followed the taproot
straight up to the stratum of conglom-
crate, which had to he broken up with
sledge hammer. Through this ada
mantine crust the root had managed to
penetrate in Il Zigzag course for six
inches until the sand was reached. Elk
cept for the crinkling of the root in this
part 1T is not otherwise dcformed by
this rocky soil. Having once found its
way through, it continued to expand
and make room for itself The diane
ter is quite uniform from the surface
OF the ground to Il point about eleven
feet in the earth and is the size of an
ordinary lead pencil. At that point the
bushing habit begins. and the remain
ing i've feet is most accurately de-
scribed as Il long and heavy horse tail.
OF course the feeding roots must at
one time have been developed near the
surface, and there is evidence all along
this taproot of the former existence
of rootlets which have been absorbed
or sloughed off.

4LFJKH SENTINEL.
THURSDAY, DEC. 25, 1902.
CHRISTMAS.

Ring ye bells, and peal out the glad tidings, for this is Christmas Day, 1902, and all Christendom is jubilant. The wise men of the east have seen the star that pointed them to the babe Christ, in lowly manager, and following it have be- held the Savior of the world. It is because of this that all nations are singing their gladsome songs in unison this day-the day that is more universally observed than any other on our calendar. But how is ii passed as general thing in this age? Is it looked upon with rev. erential eyes, due the day from the event that prompts it, or is it sullied by revelry and blasphemy as in old heathen days. If its observance is in accord with the former, then in deed is the world improving, mor- ally and in religious lines; if it is given over to idleness, debauchery and the simple satisfying of glut- tinous and morbid appetites, then, indeed are we retrograding.
 But the SENTINEL does not wish to become sentimental or long-faced. With this as with all matters, it be- lieves in looking on the bright side of the question-that the day may indeed be Merry" one, but made so in a true spirit. It is a day for gift giving and receiving; when the hand of charity of those in circum- stances of ease and comfort, should be extended to the deserving needy who are not blessed with this worlds goods and to tbose in afflic- tion and distress, for in such cases it is far More blessed to give than to recieve."
 Believing that this is the sentiment that prevails in the little town of Wrangell, with its large-hearted populace, the SENTINEL extends to one and all of it's readers "A MER- RY CHRIsTMAs!"

The Old and The New.
Story of fhe First Christmas Cetes
 brdfion in UrdngeH.
BY CHARLES LOTT.

During the time of the Cassiar excitement, people were coming to Wrangell from many places.- Among them came Philip Mckay, a native of Old Mettakatla He was cutting wood, and every Satur- day came into town and held meet ings Sundays for the Wrangell na- tives, The first house in which he held meetings was Chief Toy-att's. Before Xmas there were a number of conversions. Among these were Matthew and MT. Lewis father. They helped him push the work right on to Xmas. Before Xmas he told them what the day meant. Those who had been converted dec orated their houses outside with evergreens. They met at Mat thew's house on Xmas eve and there held service until midnight. They there learned a song, the chorus of which goes:
 Then carol we, and carol we,
 And alleuia sing,
 Peace be on earth, good will to men,
 Glory to God, our King.
 After midnight, they sang it on the street.
 [This song will be sung on our streets, today.
 The next day, bearing a hemlock branch, the Christians went about shaking hands with every one and wished them merry Christmas.
 The idea was this was the first comin of Christ into Wrangell, and as branches were strewn in his way in olden times, so they wished to do the same. Then. through the advice of Philip Mckay, Toy-att dressed up in old custom garments and made a speech. He was one of the best orators among the na- tives. His words were these: "This my friends is the way we dressed in olden times, He then took two sticks and showed how they made a fire. After he was through, he said to the white people "you have shown us how to dress better, now send us some one who will make our heart feel better. The collector took down the speech and sent the appeal on to the Mission Board, and as result Mir. Mcfarland and Mir. Young were sent within a years time.

Apropris the American-British dispute over our territory, the Tacoma Ledger very aptly remarks: In the rapid development of the states, in the complications that have directed attention to far dis tant quarters, there has been an oversight of the legitimate de- mands of Alaska. Part of the ter ritory there is assumed to be in dispute. Assumptions as the Canadian claim is, it is backed with such fervor that a definite ad- justment becomes necessary. Were the preposterous claim of Canada to be allowed, Canada would have Skagway, and thus would have a port at the head of navigation, to be made into commercial and na- val stronghold. While the matter is pending, some of the Americans there desire that the settlement be in favor of Canada. They would never have reached this mood save that the United States has not been watchful of the interests of its citi- zens in the north as Canada has been of the subjects of the king. It is time neglect be at an end. It is not we'll that any excuse be left for an American on American soil to wish the soil transferred to an other jurisdictian." And the Led ger could have gone further and stated that Skaguay is not the only point in Alaska that the subjects Of the king are seeking to draw un- der their dominion. It is so all along the line. Wrangellites are aware of the fact that but few miles up the Stickeen river the Canadians have encroached upon American soil until they are some distance out of their latitude and are making themselves as much at home as if they belonged there. But we presume there is no use in kicking, as every true American in Alaska should; these encroach- ments will cantinue uutil we have n good live representative in con- gress-a man who understands the true situation of affairs and has the backbone to stand on the floor of the House and speak his mind.

mining. Here in this part of Alas

mining, Here in this part of Alas ka the hills and mountains have never been prospected in a thor oughly systematic manner. They have been scratched over in places, and this scratching" has demon strated the fact that as good pay dirt can be found here as anywhere outside the Klondike and Nome regions in Alaska. Notwithstanding this fact every spring finds men striking off to the westward a dis tance of a thousand or fifteen hun dred miles, expecting to find for tunes, returning in the fall disap- pointed and no richer than when they started out, Now then, why not stop this? Why not settle right down near at home and assist in bringing this section up out of the rut of unknown quantities and thereby make something of it? Think of this!
