According to recent advices from the North large number of fScandinavians will amass fortunes in Alaska, says the Seattle Times. Yukon is yielding gold in great abundance and the Nome dis tricts are indicative of increasing rich ness. Scandinagians have poured into Alaska by the thousands and many of them are heavily interested in some of the leading mine operations. They have likewise given attention to the oil fields, which are ebbing with i'm measurable wealth. The magnitude of scope of wealth in Alaska is impossible to calculate. The resources are so vast and diversified that only future inves- tigations can reveal the treasure. What has been discovered in the North is merely an incentive to future research in the storehouse of Natures abun- dance. The people of the Scandinavian peninsula are used to the rigors of the Northern climate, which adapts them for active operations in the Alaska re- gions. What the development of AL aska means to Seattle is not hard to anticipate. Into her bosom the wealth of the North will gravitate, and it is not exaggerating to state that the Scandinavian race will impress it's characteristics not only on the growth of Seattle, but on the development of the whole Sound country.

nelly, is on his way to Dawson and low CT Yukon river points, on rather nov el errand, ays the Tacoma Ledger. MT. Sibley is the gentleman who came out from there two years ago with remark able collection of the relics of pre- historic animals, such as are shoveled out of many of the northern mines as useless and cum bersome trash. After exhibiting his collection through the East, and speaking on them, he found it profitable to increase his collection by purchase, and is now gong after more. He said
 "I think l have exploded the old the ory that the earth's axis has suddenly changed at some time, and that previ- ous to that Alaska was tropical coun- t1y. I am persuaded from long fla miliarity with the bones of the extinct animals and from having seen the places from which they had been re- covered, that the climate of Alaska was the same as now when those ami mals lived and thrived there. l believe that false premise was adopted when it was taken for granted that the mas todon was tropical animal simply be- cause it was of as large proportions as the elephant. It has long been evident to me the mastodons lived on mosses and grasses as do the moose of today. I have in my collection some of the hollow teeth of the mastodon still packed with moss in all respects as that growing on the surface of the ground today. Invariably in digging the bones and tuSks you will find large punches of almost fresh moss in and between the bones, showing that at the time of the catastrophe which buried the bones forty feet under ground, it buried sub-arctic moss, too, the two being contemporary without doubt There surely is nothing impossible in this. Moose and elk-and even domes- tic animals when turned out to graZe- live up there today; and why not the hairy mastodon, then? It has been proven, think, that once the elephant was equipped for and thrived in cold climate. In mining in the North, be- fore I undertook the collection of these remains, never once ran across any thing between the surface and bedrock which betokened tropical or subtrop- ical origin. The trees found under ground in great quantity are the same spruce, pine and birch which flourish up there today. There are none of the ferns of the Southland, and none of the quick growing woods either. The disaster which overcame so many of the native animals was flood, when suddenly the pent-up waters of great lakes broke a passage, cutting down the great beds of the rivers and leaving the old bed fifty feet in the air. It did not catch all the animals, but the coun- try became populated With Indians, and the rest of the stupid animals were soon hunted from the face of the earth as have been the buffalo in America. The more speedy elk and cunning moose escaped extinction, but just the same, large quantities of their bones are found commingled with the remains of the extinct mastodon, the musk-oy, the water-elk, the three species of rein deer now seen no more, and the balance of the animals whose existence we know of only by their remains frozen and preserved in the great mud deposits of the North"

"The attention of the Woodbury. Board
of Education has been called to the fact
that more school room is needed in that
city. For three years rooms in private
building have been leased, notwithstand-
ing that there is an idle school building
in North Woodbury."
The above item appeared in Philadelphia
papers last week, from Woodbury. cores
poLdent, and as it carries the impression
that the Woodbury. School Board, while
possessed of suitable school building,
has for three years leased rooms in private
property, is worthy Of u word Of explana-
ton. The ''idle school building" referred
to is the Oak street house, abandoned fifteen
years ago as unfit for school purposes, and
is less fit now than then. But the land is
now desirable for building purposes and
the Bead would like to dispose of it. If
not sold at private sale, it may be offered
at public sale

Governor Murphy's pet scheme, primary
election reform, received setback last
Monday night. The salient feature of the
bill is that in the future primary elections
shall be conducted at the expense of the
Safe, and under the direction of the reg
ularly appointed election officers in each
precinct. The bill in brief would take from
the party the right to make and define the
method of making its own party nomina-
tions, which would become subject to a
sort of espionage on the part of the State.
A public hearing was given Monday
afternoon and Major Lentz, F. F. Patter.
son, Jr., and the chairman of the Repub.
lican committees of Monmouth, Middlese2
ard Union counties denounced the bill as
impracticable. The bill has passed, how
ever, and the party primary is now re-
formed.

Tomorrow President Roosevelt will start
upon his feather-blowing mission which
will include journey of $4,000 miles, a
touching Of twenty-six States, an absence
from the capital of some sixty days, and
che making of numberless speeches. There
are those who look upon this effort as a
counting of political strength, and there
are Others who look upon it as political
suicide. On his last tour President Roose-
yelt made quite number of speeches on
trusts which were very pleasant reading
they were, to be sure, much on the order OF
a church spire, in that the higher he reached
the thinner he became-so that by the
time he had returned to Washington anti
trust bellicosity had petered out into a
piteous squeal for publicity with very
small p, and the spelling of trusts with a
very large T. Just how President Roose-
velt has charged his syphon of eloquence,
and how long it will retain its pressure,
cannot now be told, but if he does not
alter his arguments between Pennsylvania
and Iowa we shall be much and agreeably
disappointed. True American Mar. 81.

If Camden succeeds in taking inn Glou-
cester City, thereby charging her borders,
she will get kicking, rebellious child, moi
one of whose members take kindly to its
changed condition. Gloucester City people
feel pretty well satisfied with themselves
and it is generally understood have good
cause to be. During the past ten years
there has been improvement in all lines al
Gloucester, and the people who have
wrought so well object to being relieved
of the pleasure of completing the good
work. We understand they have set theil
hearts on reaching the corporate excellence
established by Woodbury. and we confess tc
a sympathy in their efforts to get there
1t must, at least, be humiliating to be
brought down to the Camden standard
We hope the Legislature will not allow
wicked Camden to kidnap the reformed
city north of Timber Creek.

STATE LEGISLATURE.
[special corresnondenoel

trenton, April Unless there Is
some unforeseen hitch in the arrange
ments for sine die adjournment the
one hundred and twenty-seventh ses-
sion of the legislature will come to an
end some time today. This decision
was arrived at week ago when the
senators "took the bull by the horns
and decided on April as the last day
OF the session. The work of the session
was practically completed last night,
or, rather, early this morning, the two
houses remaining in session until an
unseemly hour to clean up all matters
demanding their attention 1t is ex-
pected that the closing hours of the
session will be unusually quiet and
that the horseplay and the semiriotous
scenes which have heretofore charac-
terized the windup of the term will
be eliminated and that sine die ad-
Journment will be brought about in a
manner that is BETTING the dignity of
New Jerseys lawmakers.
In recent years it has been the GUS
tom to fix the hour at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon of the day selected for final
adjournment and then to finish up
about midnight or afterward, the clocks
in the two chambers being stopped five
@2inutes before the time fixed by reso-
luton. AS a rule, the house is always
required to wait for the other body to
get through, and during the interim
the members of the assembly usually
resort to hOrseplay and riotous scenes,
to the great delight of the gallery, but
to the severe ruffiing of the dignity
which lawmakers are popularity sup
posed to possess. 1t must not be I'M
derstood that these closing scenes are
at all barbarous, but they consist in
throwing about state reports, printed
bills, waste paper baskets, books and
anything else that is not chained down,
while the members generally group
themselves about some few vocalists
and give vent to their joy at being free
from the dull routine of legislative
work by making the welkin ring with
their songs.
The Appropriations Bills.
The annual appropriations bills made
their appearance in the senate Monday
night. No hitch in the bills is expect
ed by the joint appropriations com.
mittee, and the committee believes that
the session will end ON its scheduled
time today. The appropriations bill
which covers the ordinary operating
expenses of the state, is $3,979, 300 as
against So, SOL 749 for last wear. an in
crease of $427, 551.
The total of the supplemental, or de.
fciency, bill, which goes into effect at
once, is $1,021 ,O56 as against $775,219
last year, an increase of $245,S37. By
these figures the total increase in the
appropriations is $6T3.3SS, but this
large sum is more than offset by the
following extraordinary appropriations
included in the bills:
