THE DIFFERENCE

Tone of the things that make the re- fusal of congress to grant Alaska self government hard to bear is the fact that every other portion of the non contiguous territory of this country has been given a more or less complete form of self-govei nment. The negroes of Porto Rico, the kanakas of Hawaii and the yellow tribes of the Philip pines, are freely granted the right that Is denied to the white American citi- zens of Alaska.
 In an editorial commenting upon this phase of the question, the Ketchikan Journal says:
 "A law for the government of the Philippines passed by the last congress provides for the taking of a census, two wears after the publication of which, if peace and order shall in the meantime be established, a general election shall be held for the choice of delegates to a popular general legislative assembly for the islands. The census has been completed all but the tabulation, and 1t is promised that the first election shall be held not later than the fall of l9O1, if medication is fully accomplished by that time. Strange as it may seem, the same senators who are intent upon denying to Alaska the privilege of pop ular government, are claiming that the extension of that same measure of right to the FilipinoS will result in the com plete pacifcation of that people-that as they realize that they are to be per mitted, in large measure, to govern and control their own local and domes- tic affairs-they will settle down happy and cOntented.
 ''There is where congress holds Alas ka at a disadvantage. Alaskans are intelligent, loyal and law abiding Americans, and do not have to be Paci- fled either with shooting or promises. The treatment accorded Alaska, as compared with the rights accorded the nOn-American populations of Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines, is at best a sad commentary on the deca- deuce in the sense of justice and of right which once prevailed in the eoun- cils of the nation"

One Of the great forest fires was
the Miramiohi fire of 1926. 1t began
it's greatest destruction about /
o'clock in the afternoon Of Oct. z at
a place about sixty miles above the
town Of Newcastle, on the Miramichi
river, in New Brunswick. Before 10
o'clock at night it was twenty miles
below Newcastle. In nine hours it
had destroyed a belt of forest eighty
miles long and twenty-five miles wide.
Over more than 100000 acres al
most every living thing was killed.
Even the fish were afterward found
dead in heaps along the river banks.
Five hundred and ninety buildings
were burned and a number of towns.
including Newcastle, Chatham and
Douglastown, were destroyed. One
hundred and sixty persons persisted
and nearly 1000 head of stock.
Peshtigo's fire Of October, 1871, was
still more severe than the Miramichi.
1t covered an area of over 1000 square
miles in Wisconsin and involved a
loss in timber and other property of
many millions of dollars. Between
1900 and 1900 persons persisted, in

kind Of public invitation. For Jacob
Van Ariens was n OF q guild of
wealthy merchants, and they were at
their shop doors to express their
sympathy by lifted hats and smiling
faces; while the women looked from
every window, and the little children
followed, their treble voices heralding
and %acclaiming the beautiful bride.
Then came the breakfast and the
health drinking and the speech
making and the rather sadder drive
to the wharf at which lay La Belle
France. Then the anchor was lifted,
the cable %loosened, and with every
sail set La Belle France went dancing
down the river on the tide-top to the
open set.
Van Ariens and his son Rem turned
silently away. A great and evident
depression had suddenly taken the
place of their assumed satisfaction.
They had outworn emotion and knew
instinctively that some common duty
was the best restorer. The same feel
ing affected, in one way or another, all
the watchers of this destiny. Women
whose household work was belated,
had used up their nervous strength in
waiting and feeling, were now cross
and inclined to belittle the affair and
to be angry at Arenta and themselves
for their lost day. And men, young
and old, went back to their ledgers

a sense of lassitude and detection.

Speed of the Salmon

faster than q torpedo boat. Here Is
some evidence on the subject:

below Bangor Dam. He landed two
small salmon on the flood tide. About
11:30 q. m. he struck a big one, which
caused his rod to bend until it was
perilously near the breaking point.
Then the salmon darted under the
boat, and catching the line against
the keel. severed the fly and leader
from the silk string and escaped.
