The White River Journal chronicles the fact that fifteen carloads of Carna- tion Cream was shipped to Seattle in one order recently to be forwarded to Alaska, requiring fifteen freight cars to move it. The interesting thing about this is that the farmers of Washington profit by that habit which the men of Alaska have of living we'll. The Cali fornia of 70 did not drink cream, but Alaska of today does. And in the same proportion, Alaska lives better tban did any one of the older American gold camps. It is land of ready money. Its people are educated to the use of modern conveniepces and luXuries. In their new, and somewhat primitive towns, they demand the latest things to wear, the latest domestic convent ences, the best books, the newest mu- sic, and a variety upon the table. To be restricted to canned milk sounds like privation, yet the users of Car nation and similar creams in Alaska, and in the mining and lumber camps of Washington, are living better than the average wage earner of London Berlin or New York City.-Seattle Times.

The death and life of EX,Mayor Humes, of Seattle, furnishes a striking example of the rapid change of public sentiment, and shows how little trust may be placed in the clamor of the multitude. As mayor of Seattle, all sought his society and vied to do him honor. As the old man, broken in spirit and in purse, few cared to know his destiny. Death came and took from his brow the load of trouble, and again, when it is too late, the people of Seattle seek to do him honor. Alone and in strange country he went down, aud now the hands that refused him succor, bear flowers to his bier. Seattle has had but one Tom Humes and he is gone. He gave his best. He hid what he could, but it appears that his mantle has fallen on no one. Future generations will yield to him the honor which this has withheld.

Hon. Wm. L. Distin, Secretary Of the District of Alaska, and acting governor, has issued the Thanksgiving Proclama- tion this year and calls especial atten- tion to the completion of the Alaska cable and the telegraph land lines as a cause for general rejoicing and thanks civing. It recites that "this is the great est achievement in the history of this country and is a step in the progress of AIaska's march to rank as one of Americas most treasured possessions" ;"
 The discovery of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines in the Occur d'Alene was. we understand, partly by chance. According to an account which appear ed in an Idaho paper, ore was uncover ed by a donkey paving turf away from the ore, and it is stated that this has been so recorded in the Idaho Judicial records. Judge Norman Buck of the District Court handed down decision saving: "From the evidence of the witnesses, the court is of the opinion that the Bunker Hill mine was discov- cred by a jackass, Phil O'Rourke and N.S. Kellogg; and as the jackass is the property of the plaintiffs, Cooper X Peck. they are entitled to halfinterest in the Bunker Hill, and quarter in- terest in the Sullivan claims.

Take Chances in Facing His
AccuseIs.

DENVER, Col. Dee. 13.-Before DR.. r
Thatcher Graves committed suicide in
the county Jail more than eleven years
ago. he left a statement OF his reasons
for doing 30.
The statement remained undiscovered
until a rev days ago, when a plumber
H. making repairs IN the cell formerly
occupied by The physician. found the
letter tucked In crevice in the wall
behind a section Of pipe.

1o53, for poisoning Mrs. Josephine g.
Barnaby. widow or j. Il. Barnaby, a mill
lionaire merchant of New York, Proyi-
dence, r. l.. and Boston, Mass. His
case was one OF the most sensational
ever tried in a Denver court and extend
ed two years.
after his conviction an appeal was
taken 10 the supreme court, which
granted him a new trial. on the eve
of this trial he committed suicide by
drinking water in which he had washed
fiVDaDcr, which he was allowed TO dis
tribute about his cell
The finding OF the letter, which was
turned over TO Warden Hudson, OF the
county tail. was kept a secret until Of
ficors. attorneys. and others who had
paTticip. ted In the case had inspected
The state ment and decided that the writ
ing was that of Dr. Graves. The state
ment follows:
II have determined to commit suicide.
As physician I nave always preferred

that If I am compelled 10 remain here
much longer / shall go insane. 1 am
so afraid and yet no one, not even my
self. seems 10 think me a coward.

JUNIOR CLASS RESIGNS
At VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC
Iz5 Members Leave Because Classmate
Was Expelled-Commandant
of Cadets Hung in Efngy.

RICHMOND. Va. Dec. 13.- Because
one OF their number is said to have been
un1ustly expelled, the 125 members of
the junior class OF the Virginia Poly
technical Institute at Blacksburg. hand
ed in their designations yesterday af-
ternoon Last night all Of the boys were
busy packing their trunks and will leave
today unless something is done to change
their plans, which does not now seem
likely.
The expelled junior was Boiling Coul-
ter OF Richmond. The cause of his eX-
pulsion was that last Wednesday after
noon an old uniform was stuffed and
hung on an electric wire where 1t could
be seen from the parade grounds. II
was placarded, - s. A" which are
the initials OF the cOmmandant OF ca

The boys say that the whole thing
was a prank and that TO punish by ex-
pulsion IS entirely too severe.
