The war department has issued a new schedule of charges for tele- graph messages over lines in Alaska, the same to go into effect on May list. They aim to charge at the rate of two cents per word for each one hundred miles or fraction thereof, which would make the charges to the various points as follows:
 From Valdez to Eagle, 10 cents a word; from Valdez to Fort Gib- bon, 16 cents word; Valdez to St. Michael, 26 cents a word, it being necessary to send the message over practically the whole length of the Alaska telegraph system; Valdez to Nome, 2S cents; Valdez to Ram part, IS cents; Valdez to Copper Center, 4 cents; St. Michael to Eagle, 20 cents; St. Michael to Nome, 4 cents; St. Michael to Col sova, ? cents; Eagle to Boundary, ? cents, and from Tanana crossing to Nome, P cents. In all there are forty-one regular telegraph stations connected with the land lines in Alaska.

Brains Win.

The Valdez pass is a series of steep benches, increasing in height as the traveller ascends. The last
 bench, at whose top is the summit of the divide, is about 300 feet high and very steep. At that altitude to climb that bench with a heavy pack, or drawing loaded sled was a task which the strongest man might fail to accomplish. Over the Valdez pass, a few years ago, there was rush to new gold fields, and thither came parties of all the hardy races. The way in which they surmounted the last bench, according to the story told by ob- servers, showed the difference in national and racial ingenuity in overcoming difficulties.
 The Swedes plodded doggedly along with their packs, often reach- ing the top so exhausted that they dropped in the snow. The Ger mans, knowing that their sleds had been good on the lower levels, dragged them wearily hut patiently up the last. Some Frenchmen who happened to have a horse, hitched it to their sleds, but soon wore out the animal and spoiled the road. Some Englishmen be- thought them to divide the ascent into two or three stages, joining forces and carrying their goods from one to another. Some Jap anese tried tossing packages from hand to hand of d line formed up the slope. The plan would have worked we'll on level ground, but on a steep hillside it soon wore out even Japanese endurance.
 Then an American party came up and showed all the rest how. They had a set of blocks and long rope. They set a strong stake at the top and rigged their tackle. Then they attached two large sleds so arranged that one would descend while the other ascended. Upon the empty one rode down the men who had walked up beside the loaded one to guard against an up- set, thus aiding by their weight those pulling on the rope. The American party got their goods to the summit in half the time and with half the labor of any other. They had applied brains to the problem, and so surpassed all others. That is the American way, and that is why Europe fears competition.-Kennebec Journal.

There are other features of the law and regulations which impress persons in Alaska as simply ridicu- lous. Collector Jarvis discussed the matter fully with the treasury department officials, and this, it is believed, will result in an intelli- gent modification of the regulations and possibly in some amendments to tine law at the next session of congress.
 The recent reports of Restitution among the natives, which have caused the war department to give some assistance, have emphasized the representations made to the treasury department in regard to the Alaska game law.

Game Law May Be Modified.

It is probable that as a result Oi the recent visit of Collector Jarvis to Washington there will be some important notifications of the law and regulations affecting Alaska game. Some of the rulings that have been made by the treasury department. largely upon repre- sentati"ns from the agricultural department, are based on a woeful lack of knowledge of condi- tions in Alaska. It is held, for example, that the natives must not kill walrus, except in a speci- fled open season, for the sake of selling the skins or ivory.
 Why the walrus should be pro- tected as a fur animal no one familiar with Alaska conditions can understand. The natives of the territory would not sell the skins in any event for ship ment out of the country, but they might wish to sell them to other natives, especially to those who are remote from the coast or who, for any reason, have been unable to procure walrus skins for making boats, for thatching their dwellings and for the other standard pur- poses to which these skins are ap- piled. Under the present regula- tions they are prohibited from sell ing skins, even to other natives, for the gr. ater part of the year.
 The theory that the walrus is a fur animal is. of course, ridiculous in the eyes of any person who has lived in Alaska. Only the ivory is commercially valuable, and this is not of enough consequence to en- danger the exterminatiom of the animals. On the other hand, the walrus is very necessary to the native, for it provides them with food, boats, shelter and a part of their clothing. Natives who cannot procure the animals except by trading with other natives ought to he allowed, ersons familiar with the local conditions believe, to buy the skins.

The Amaxons Hit the Trail.

The following description of the trip of the Amazons who left here recently for the interior to find a farm was received on the last mail
 April ll:- They wandered forth, a merry train, A man, a mule, and women twain. In wind and ice and falling snow, They beat the mule to make her go. As he drove along, the driver sang, And over the snow the echoes rang: Ca-Ha, Ca-Hoot, Becky ha-boot, Move your bones, you lazy galoot.
 April 13:- They braved the canyons icy track. They climbed the ice-bound moun- tains back. They broke the trail thro' frozen snow,
 And merrily onward they did go.
 April 17:- They stood upon the great divide, Where none stood there with them, beside The peaks, and rolling clouds below, And all about was ice and snow.
 April 19:- They descended to the valley green, Where tree and bud and leaf were seen,
 And new green grass on every hand, And waters lapped the glittering
 April 23:- The ptarmigan and Arctic hare Scurried from their pathway there And sportive trout traversed the stream, Ger sparkling sands where nuggets gleam.
 April 26:- The man he has a-mining gone And left the AmazOns alone To spade the field and till the soil.
 And oft betimes to bake and boil.
 April 27:- They built their home among the trees, Mid song of birds and hum of bees. And thus they live in joy and peace, From strife and pride to have re-

On April 24th. when President Roosevelt came out of the Yellow stone Park at Gardiner, Mont, he assisted in the laying of the corner stone of the gate to the northern entrance to the park. In the cere- monies he made speech highly laudatOry of the Park and the manner in which it was being cared for. He praised the wild animals and among other thiugs suggested the inter-breeding of the buffalo with the ordinary beef cat tie, and said "They would, for in- stance, he admirably suited for Alaska, which l hope to see devel- oped astoundingly within the next decade or two, not only because of its furs and fisheries, but because of its agricultural pastoral possi- bilities."

RESENT ENT Is GROWING
PREFERENCE DECLARED FOR THE
FLAG OF UNITED STATES.

OTTAWA, Ont, oct. 23.--In the
senate yesterdaySir Mackenzie Bowel,
leader Of the opposition, asked for in-
formation concerning the Alaskan
boundary award.
MIR. Scott, for the government, re-
piled that the most important reason
why the Canadian commissioners did
not approve OF the award was that IL
was not a judicial document decision.
Sir Mackenzie Bowel sail that IT
was unfortunate that in every case
when negotiations have taken place
between the United states and Eng
land, where Canada was affected, the
United States diplomats had succeed
cd in securing islands which command
the most important points of the do
minion. There was the island right
opposite the harbor Of Port Arthur.
In the case of a difficulty, he said that
island would have to be secured by the
British people for, IL fortified, 1t
would command the entrance to that
harbor. Unless that was done the
United States could secure it and with
the guns they have at present would
be able to destroy the whole connec-
tion between the east and west. 1t
was the same with the island OF San
Juan, another secured by treaty nego-
tiations.
"Now," said Mr.. Mackenzie, 1.-THE
United States will command Fort
Simpson. In every case Canadian In
terests were sacrificed"
Senator McMullen said that the de.
cision would create as much dissatiS-
faction in Canada as there was in the
TranSvaal and in Ireland.
