THOUGHTS ON MATHEMATICS.

A number is a unit. quite a mum
Der" means any old thing-possibl,
"a whole lot"
Mathematics is called an exact sci
ence, probably because il exacts So
much brain work.
Mathematics is that science which
teaches us how not to let others do
us as we would do them.
Some people are natural-born
mathematicians. They find it as
easy as rolling off a logarithm.
Things equal to the same thing
are equal TO one another. but there
are some things few Of US feel equal
to-
A prime" quantity is one that
cannot be divided, but a million dol
lars can fall under that head under
some circumstances.
The radical sign indicates that a
root is to be extracted. When the
dentist tackles the correct tooth. il
IS the square root.

lie. but it is always easy to square

Great Temperance Agencies

The New York Times throws out
the thought that the great corpora
tons, particularly the railroads, are
doing far more for the cause of tenn
perance than the prohihItiOuists and
all other agencies combined. They
have taken a very decided stand
against employing in any department
men who drink alcoholic beverages To
excess. They don't want regular
drinkers, moderate drinkers or 0ccas-
ional drinkers, though, as yet, they
have not drawn the line against those
who take an occasional drink of
strong liquor. Their position is that
they are entitled to the best work
man can do, and that when Il man
has responsibilities resting upon him
especially where he is responsible
for the lives of his fellow heings-he
needs clear brain. He cannot have
that if he II what is known as drink
ing man. Therefore it has come to Toe
known that the great corporations
give preference 10 sober men-not
only to sober men, hut men who
do not indulge i'm strong drink at
all. The stand against drinking men
i not yet a. great as it Will be- The
tendency, however, IL steadily to-
wards those who abstain altogether
from strong drink. y man who il
discharged by one corporation for
drinking 10 excess cannot hope to get
a position with another corpora
ton.
1t can be readily seen therefore
what powerful agencies for temper
ance the great corporations are.
Young men who are ambitious. or
who seek only 10 hold their positions,
will give up strong drink rather than
risk losing their positions, aud thus
gradually the drink habit will become
unpopular and be abandoned.

All for 1t.

The demand for full territorial gov ernment is going up from every section of the North. People from all sections of the district are becoming more and more nearly unanimous on the subject daily. From the American Yukon, from Nome, from Valdez and from South western Alaska, the people are speak ing, and the voices are in harmony they ask for self-government, which is becoming to be regarded as panacea for all the ills which atflict the district.
 Just the other day Deputy Marshal Robinson of Eagle brought the word out from that country that Eagle, Cir cle, Rampant and other Yukon points are practically unanimous on the ques- tion. There is nothing else talked. It. is the only remedy suggested in that section for intolerable conditions.
 PHI. Watt, assistant postmaster at Nome, says the only question agitating the people of Nome is as to whether Alaska should be one or two territories. That our laws should be made by Alas kans is admitted by everybody. The heaviest mine owners at Nome are the strongest advocates of territorial gov ernment. Thay want intelligently made laws with an accessible law making power to make changes when found necessary.
 From only Juneau and Sitka is there now heard the voice of the tory, and he is very much in the minority in those towns.
 Territorial government for Alaska is only a short distance in the future. That is just as surely as anything is sure which has not yet come to pass Skagway Alaskan.

The Council.

The council meeting Monday night was full of interest.
 All members were present except Councilmen Ohman who is out of town. Mir. Boyd, chairman of the school board. Police Judge O'Connor, and Chief of Police Mcdonald were also in attendance.
 The finance committee reported that on August 12th, the City Treasurer had received from the clerk of the District Court the sum of S7,41S.O7, one-half of which had been placed to tbe credit of the school fund.
 Police Judge O'Connor was author ized to purchase furniture for the municipal court.
 The sum of s30Oo, was loaned to the school fund ont of the general fund of the city, for the purpose of paying off school debts. This amount is to be re- paid to the city with interest at 3 per cent, per annum.
 The council also guaranteed the school board funds sufficient to main tain the school for term of six months, and if possible nine months.
 Itis, at present, the intention of the school board to open the school Oct. 1st. An animated discussion arose between the council and the school board as to the length of the term and the time of beginning, and MT. Boyd explained that the action of the board in deferring the opening of the school to the date mentioned was because of the uncertain condition of the finances and the necessity of repairs at the school house.
 The council then continued it's sit ting as q Board of Equalization until a late hour and adjourned to Tuesday evening at o'clock.

The Champions Win.
IF. H. STERLING, HENRY WATSON, VIM. STUBBINS.

Last Sunday afternoon the Juneau Tigers came over to tackle the Douglas champions at base ball. Although the Douglas club is depleted by the loss of several players, they found good sub stitutes and took the tigers down the line from the start. Merryfield seemed to have them at his mercy, and Belden in the catcher's box never missed a chance. The score was Douglas Il, Ju- neau S.
 After the big boys got through, the kids went at it, club from each town appearing on the diamond. The Juneau Juveniles captured Il runs, but the Is- land Infants were sure of 19 all the time.

Trouble of a serious nature has broken out among the Indians at Klukwan. It appears that witchcraft has broken out among the Indians. Trouble arose over some land and the injured people said witchcraft was at the back of it. Several of the mem- bers of the Klukwan tribe got together and decided to do some shooting to settle the land score. They did, and one Indian is reported to have been killed outright. Other Indians took the shooting up and it is said that fer TOT is reigning now at Klukwan.
