Just Scratching.

As mining engineer of experie nee I predict that the Alaska gold bearing gravel will astonish the world, says Wm. NJ. Fitzhugh we'll known English mining expert. The output of Amer ican Alaska will last for many years to come and will be far greater than any of the present time has dared to pre- dict. Some of us will live to see the time when the American Yukon, in- cluding large part of American AL aska, will produce hundreds of mil lions of dollars in gold. It is not the character of country such as the Klon- dike was. It will give out. The only trouble is that the people have not yet learned the way to work the gravel de- posits, and to do this will take time.
 This was the history of California, when gold was discovered there in 1S49 the miners knew that they had it, but it was not until years later that they learned how to work it and get the metal out of the ground. In time they learned, and then the California gold output increased so as to astonish the world. The same will be the history of American Alaska, and when this is accomplished there will be perma- nent output of gold that will be far in excess of that secured by scratching at the present time.

After keeping us in an agony of sus-

After keeping us in an agony of sus- pense for many weeks, the committee appointed by Judge Brown to investi- gate us has found out what we knew all the time, i. e., that we are as innocent as Mary's little lamb. Now, in order that there may be no misunderstanding in the future, we wish to state that the editor of the News has just as much love for our glorious country and its in- stitutions as any man. However, 1t may be that in the past articles have been penned, amid the clamor and rush of business, that were not as carefully worded as legal document. To the reader it may have appeared that these articles were malicious or contemptu- ous, but they were not so intended. It is our desire at all times to uphold jus tice, equity and right doing, and in fol- lowing up this desire We gre rejoiced that the laws of our country guarantee us the freedom of the press and free dom of speech. A properly conducted newspaper is mirror, in which are re- flected the actions, thoughts, and the very lives of the people of the com munity. A pubic officer is a public servant, and if his acts become so un- sayory to the people that general feeling of indignation is aroused, the mirror should bear the image. No man has right to demand the protection accorded to the press ID this land for a publication that does not follow out this plan. And, too, no man has the right to use such publication solely for the purpose of inflicting upon the public opinions or theories entertained by himself alone.

Appreciated.

That the people of Valdez are stuck on Hon. James Wickersham, Judge of the U. S. District court for the third Division of Alaska, is shown by the following extract from the report of the grand jury: "We further desire at this time and place to congratulate the people of the Third Judicial Division of Alaska upon having in the present members of this court men who are interested in the upbuilding here in Alaska of great and rich common wealth, men who believe in the great future that is in store for this country and are helping to develop it's great resources. While not elected to their respective offices by the people of the district, yet we find that they are endeavoring to serve the best interests of the people, as if depending upon their votes for continuance in their respective positions"

Territorial Government.

A dispatch from Washington, D. o., to the Seattle P. l., bearing date of Feb. 26, says:
 "No agreement has yet been reached by the conference of tbe senate and house on the Alaska homestead bill. The senate conferees are still holding out for tbe provision of the senate bill forbidding the entry of soldiers scrip under the terms of the proposed law. The house conferees are equally firm iu opposition to this provision, and there is no sign of yielding on either side
 Despite the lateness of the session, Representative Sulzer introduced to- day bill to make Alaska a territory with delegate in congress, and a bill authorizing the North American Tele- graph and Cable Company to lay a cable from Alaska to Siberia"

Health Day.
the present time.

4 bill is pending in the Utah legisla- ture to create legal holiday setting apart one day in the year on which people shall clean up their premises of all accumulations of rubbish and filth. This bill has it's good points.
 One year ago this spring the people of Douglas cleaned and scraped and renovated as they had never done be- fore and as reward the town has been free from those diseases that were car rying so many of our little folks to the cemetery.
 In the light of this experience it looks plain that the coming season should witness even more thorough effort than before. And the sooner it is done the less danger there is of dis ease and death. The town is in better shape than it was year ago and easier cleaned. Don't wait until the city authorities come around and order it done, but when the melting snow dis closes an unsightly pile of ashes, tin cans, pota to parings, &c., in your back yard, take shovel and wheelbarrow and transfer it all to the point of low tide in Gastineaux channel.

OCTOPUS is IN LITERATURE.
Small Publisher Seems to Be Doomed
by EtiGuette's DISAPPEARANCE.
m Cnllier,s Weeklv

From Golfers Weekly.
Still another octopus has begun to
emerge into the light. This time it is
the small publisher who seems to be
doomed. OF the hundred and odd, for
mer combinations, most of which have
been born in the last few years, only
one had to do with anything outside
of industry. This movement toward
the concentration of the book trade is.
therefore, the second in the domain of
art and thought. The small publisher
discovers a new writer This new wri-
ter becomes famous. The big publish
er Immediately comes along and says,
Il will pay you more than the little
man can possibly pay you" In former
times this was against the etiquette of
the business, but now it is the regular
procedure. The author naturally ac-
cepts. Often the publisher is willing to
meet an actual loss in order to secure
the advertisement of a name, which
has probably happened more than once
in the case of Mr.. Kipling's books.
Thus the famous author gains by
combination. The beginner loses, in the
case of plays, because the cost of pro-
duction is so great that the business
men at the head of the trust do not
care for experiments. The literary oc-
topus threatens no such calamity, be-
cause the risk on a single book is
small, and, if new author succeeds,
the publisher makes far more than he
can possibly make out of the writing
of we'll known man.
