For Strategic Reasons.

Rear-Admiral Bradford in re- porting on the Dutch Harbor coal ing station, said:
 Attention is invited to one of the great political questions of the day, namely: The settlement of the boundary between the territory of Alaska and the dominion of Cam ada. There is abundant evidence to show that the spirit of Canada iu the matter may be considered threatening. Between Alaska and the continental limits of the United States is located the domain of a foreign country. The territory separating Alaska has good harbors and ample interior waters, and this fact alone constitutes a great strategic advantage to a possible opponent. It certainly constitutes a strong reason why the sinews of war, whatever they may be, should be stored in Alaska.
 Although Sitka is located in the vicinity of the disputed boundary, no coal is kept there by mercantile companies, and the navy has been frequently embarrassed for the want of coal in the protection of Ameri- can seal and other interests.
 A coal depot at Dutch Harbor, it is believed, also will prove great aid to commerce, as ships are frequently in need of coal when reaching this port and an arrange ment will be made by which the government can sell coal to steam ships applying for it.

Embezz1er H art Dead.

The officers of the New York life insurance company believe that they have at Last located Frank Hart, but too late for their purpose. Information was received at the Seattle office that on May 23d, at Baker City, Ore, Frank Hart, ar insurance man, physically wreck and without funds, was found dead in his bed, at the hotel. The cir eumstances surrounding the case together with the description of the man, leaves no doubt in the minds of those who sought him that he is the absconding agent from Val- dez. Very early in the year Frank Hart came to Valdez with letters of introduction from the Seattle office to Gus. Sponberg, the local representative of the New York life. Together in ten days they placed $39, 900 worth of insurance, and Hart left with the initial receipts, amounting to over $2,20O, ostensi- bly to place it with the Seattle off, flee. He was seen to land in Seat tie, but that was the last seen of him notwithstanding that detect ives had been securing the country. Hart was pleasing character and made friends rapidly. These he insured will of course lose nothing, as the company will stand respon- sible for the contracts.

Which Are You !?

There are two kiWds of people on earth today. Just two kinds of people. no nsorc. I say, Not the sinner or saint. for 'tis well understood The good are half bad, and the bad are half good Not the rich and the poor. for to count mans wealth You must first know the state of his conscience and health. Not the humble and proud. for in Iife's little span Who puts on vain airs is not counted a man. Not the happy and sad, for the swift flying years Bring each man his laughter and each man his tears. No; the two kinds of people on earth that I mean Are the people who lift and the people who lean Wherever you go you will find the world. masses Arc always divided in just these two classes, And, oddly enough. you will find. too. wcen. There Is only one Hitter to twenty who lean. Tn which class are you? Are you easing the load Of ovcrtaxed filters who toil down the roade Or are you . leaner, who let others bear foir portion of labor, and worry, and care?

Hanging a Thief at Unga.

UNeA, May 2O.-The finger oi suspicion pointed that way, and they all believed that an employe in the kitchen of the Appolo mine was the one, who had stolen $1OO from one party, $6O from another, and smaller sums from others. Many previous thefts of the same character had taxed every ones pa- tience to the trigger-stage, but this was the last straw that broke the camers back. In short, once the light-fingered gentleman found a rope around his neck and himself standing upon nothing. After being drawn up three times, he finally confessed and disclosed the hiding place of the money, whereupon he was most considerably given the ghost of a few minutes to vamose and leave the island. which out of respect for that bit of rope, he lost not moment in doing.
 Quickly following this drastic proceeding, and supposedly the out come of a saloon altercation of the evening before, Swedish cod fisherman named Edward Ander- son, was found dead in the early morning of May 4th, on the hill side with a bullet hole through his head.
 Whether murder, accident or suicide had occurred. it seems to have been no ones particular busi- ness to ascertain. Representatives of law and order in the persons of a U. s. Commissioner and deputy marshal are unknown quantities in this, one of the most important island settlements of north western Alaska; fact which seriously re- fleets upon our boasted form oi government.
 The Appolo Consolidated mining company recently struck a large body of water in their 700 foot lev. el, which has caused much trouble and threatens to completely flood the lower level.
