GETS WARM Politics Becoming Interest
 ing Down at Juneau.

The people down at Juneau are get ting warmed up over municipal poli- tics. There seems to be pretty clear cut division among the voters, and some seem not indispoed to get partisan politics in the fight The Juneau Rec ord-Miner says there has been one eau GUS of the democrats of Juneau and there was to be another caucus this week. The Record-Miner thinks ma jority of the registered voters are dem ocratS.
 Some of the voters Of Juneau desire to make the federal officials the issue. However, the officials profess indiffer- ence as Co the result so far as anything except the welfare of the community is concerned, and refuse to be made the issue oi any municipal campaign.
 The Juneau election will take place Tuesday, May l9.

nare Feet aud Earth.

There Is nothing Ike having both feet on the ground, says Medical Talk. IT a man should go barefoot, the con. tact of bis bare feet with the earth and bis head projecting Into the at- mosphere would make perfect elec- trical conductor, through which the electricity Of the air would pass through his body to the earth. While no apparent harm Is done, yet being Insulated from the electricity of the earth by wearing shoes, the electricity fails of It's beneficial result There can be no doubt that it would be better for everybody, especially nervous people. 1T their feet were on the ground instead of in shoes.

NOT ANY
White and Pink Salmon Will
 be TabOOed.

Chum and pink salmon are 10 be ta- booed by the canneries of the Columbia river, Puget sound, the Fraser river and Alaska this year. This decision has been reached by all the cannery in- terests without formality of meeting, and other than the regular brands of red fish there will be small pack put up.
 Last year the chums and pink packs amounted to about one-sixth of the en- tire pack of the Pacific coast and Alas ka district. At the present time there is very little if any of the regular red brands in stock, and the market is about depleted, while the stock of chums and pinks Is largely in first hands and is 8 menace to the trade.
 The real condition is that the East ern market, while demanding salmon, refuse to take the cheaper grades, which are being listed at less price than ever before in the history of the industry.

ouEEREsT OF LAWSUITS.
A HiEhwayman sued Hts Partnos
 For His share of spOiiu.

A Htahwayman sued Hts Partnos
 For His share of spOiis.
 Perhaps the most remarkable suit ever brought is ou the records of the court of the exchequer In England. lt was filed on Oct. 8, 1725. and it sets forth very clearly that John Everit and Joseph Williams were highway rob bers
 In It's succlnct legal phrases the com plalnt says that the men formed q partnership for the purpose of carry- ing on business as highwaymen. It was mighty profitable, as was shown by the fact that Everit sued Williams for the equivalent Of 5000, being for moneys wrongfully appropriated to de- fendants private purse"
 This was the amount In dispute after the partnership had lasted only Q year. Then Eyerlt claimed that he discoV- cred that his partner had not made a fair division of the spells.
 The action was adjudged to be a gross contempt of court. and the plain tin was ordered to pay an costs, while the solicitors who served the writ were fined. One of the solicitors, a man named Wreathcock. refused to pay the fine and was sent to prison for six months. Both plaintiff and defendant to the action were subsequently hang cd. one at Tyburn and the other at Maidstone.

Conditions In AlASka.

A few days ago we receive a copy ot the Alaskan, a daily paper published at Skagway, Alaska, and looking 1t over found many things otintrest. The price oi the paper is ton cents copy, or nine dollars year. One thing that surprised a, was the relative low prices oigrocer- ie,. Flour retail at s5.5O a barrel, sug- ar at sj 75. corn meal S2.7j a hundred, canned butter B cents a pound, etc. The freight charge on these staples is slO a ton from Seattle Clothing retails at the same prices that prevail inSeat- Gle. drugs are sold at Seattle prices straight through, andnearly every other kind of meuchandise may be obtained at this place, with large assortment u every line Co choose from.
 Skagway is on the coast in the south eru part of Alaska and about 300 miles, in a direct line. from the Klondike gold fields and many prospectors get their outfit there. As yet Alaska has but one railroad. the White Pass X Yukon, ex- tending from Skagway to Whitehorse, a distence Of III miles, only 20 of which travcrs American territory. Oi course everything will be much higher in the interior near the gold fields.
 The weather on thecosst is very mild' for che lowest temperature for twenty four hours on March 22 was 29 above and the highest B above.
 Hundreds of miles north of SkagWay The attemps at gardening and farming have been surprisingly successful. Fin e,, vegetables are now cultivated at Dawson. Good gardens at Eagle City and at other places along the Yukon are reported. For years successful culture has been practiced at Holy Cross miss ion, on the Yukon.
 There is much e1citmcut over new strike that has been male in the Tan ana gold fields and there is stam- pede that way. It is reported that the Panama fields are very rich and will riv- al the Klondike The newdeld is in the central part of Alaska and little south ot the Artic circle Most of the pros pectors that are in the rush have some means and are well supplied.

rrlrinI cnu.e. of War.

History records one war that was caused by a glass Of water-the war of the Spanish succession. A lady Mrs. Masham, celebrated court beauty was carrying a glass of water when she was obstructed by the Marquis de To rev A slight scutfle ensued, and the water was spilled. The marquis lost his temper and bad feeling ensued be- tween the English and French courts, with the ultimate result that war was declared. The campaign cost France many severe battles - viz, Blenheim' i7O4: Families, 1701; Audenardi, i7OS and Malplaqult. 17O9.
 Fully as absurd in It's origin was the war that took place during the com monwealth Of Modena. A soldier stole a bucket from a public well belonging to the state of Bologna. Although the value of the article did not exceed a few pennies, the incident was the signal for a fierce and prolonged war Henry. the king of Sardinia. assisted the Mo denese to retain the bucket, and In one of the subsequent battles be was made a prisoner. The bucket is still exhibit ed in the tower of the cathedral of Mo dena

NEW WAY TO HARDEN STEEL.
States to Introduce Process Only
Just Discovered. "

w. II. Firth has gone TO the United
States to interest American steel maxi
ers in the Holzer-Frith process of
hardening and %annealing steel. He de-
clarcs that the present process of
hardening steel by %plunging and sub
scquent annealing will be abolished
and all steel now in use, including
armor plate, will shortly be obsolete.
BY the new process hardening and
annealing are accomplished simultane-
ously in a bath of quicksilver confined
in a Theoretically sealed vessel. The
rapid expansion of the quicksilver un-
der the influence of heat is said to
create ever pressure all round, and to
prevent that distortion of the MOLE
cues which causes those flaws in steel
as now hardened, which often lead to
disaster where the product is subjected
to severe tests.
Mr.. Firth asserts, and the British
government tests seem to bear him
out. that metal hardened and annealed
by the quicksilver process is immense
~ increased in strength and rendered
memorabilia. 1t is also asserted
that ship plates and all exposed metal
work can be made hard enough to re-
sist rust and to offer extraordinary re-
%sistance to projectiles. Mr.. Firth
argues that the process will not be un-
necessarily expensive.
