Another Idiot.

Some ignoramus whose name should never be mentioned in public print writes the following to the Denver Min ing Record:
 "There are practically only two sea- sons in Alaska-winter and summer. During the eight months of winter, whole towns are literally buried in the snowdrifts; which are frequently from 70 to 80 feet high. At such times en- trance to the cabins is only attained by digging deep tunnels through these huge drifts. AS the winter advances it is necessary to lenghten the chimneys lest they become buried in the drifting snow"
 Such paragraphs as the above have done more to injure Alaska than all other things combined, and the man who penned this ought to be hung higher than Haman.

After bucking heavy ice foes in Der ing Sea that for time threatened to drive the vessel back to Dutch Harbor, the White Star Steamship Company's steamer Oregon reached Seattle June 22d from Nome, establishing record
 for being the first vessel back from the gold fields this season, and making quick round trip. The Oregon brought four passengers and s26S, 900 in bullion consigned to the Union Savings and Trust Company and the assay office. More than s150,O00 in gold was contain ed in registered packages in care of Purser Donnelly. The gold represents part of the winter cleanup, and accord ing to the officers of the vessel treasure shipments will be received on the majority of the vessels returning to Seattle on their first trips. The steamer Corwin, which sailed from Seattle May r, was the first vessel to reach Nome. On the evening of June 8 the Corwin arrived in sight of that place. 1t went to anchor several miles off shore and persons in small boats went out from the beach to meet it. Two days later the Nome City reached the gold fields. The Oregon arrived the following day.

An order has been issued by the fed

An order has been issued by the fed eral authorities at Nome to the effect that women will not be hereafter allow ed in saloons for the purpose of "rustl- ingn or selling drinks on the percent. age plan. Proprietors of saloons and dance halls where women are employ ed have been notified that the law res pecting the employment of women in saloons will be rigidly enforced. This action, it is alleged, has been taken pursuant to the recommendations of the late grand jury.
 A feature of the Alaska exhibit at the Worlds Fair is ton of tin, in the form of souvenirs and cooking utensils, the latter the first to be made of American tin, which comes from tin mines at Providence, Alaska. Beside this there are innumerable Alaska industries rep resented. Furs, nuggets, canoes, Indian weapons and houshold utensils, mining implements, reproductions of typical mining cabins, canned salmon; everything that the great northern ter ritory has produced is shown at the exhibit.
 The Dawson board of trade has decid- ed to petition the minister of the in terior to remove the royalty from gold mined from quartz in the Yukon Ter ritory. The reasons set forth are that since quartz mining is an infant indus try here aud the cost of reaching quartz properties is great, and the undertak- ing hazardous from a financial stand point, the government should encour- age the industry by exemption from taxation. The gold mined from quartz now is subject to the same royalty as that taken from placer ground, namely, two and a half per cent.
 The Seattle Times says Capt. Andrew Ballet of this city yesterday received telegram from s. B. Heeter, of Ram part, Alaska, ordering new up-to-date Mccormick moving machine and horse rake, the first to be ordered for Western Alaska. According to Capt. Ballet grass grows in the Yukon valley to the height of a mans head, and all hardy grains thrive in abundance. The sum- mers are short, but the days are un. usually long and warm. Capt. Ballet says that gold is not the only thing that Alaska will become famous for within a few years. The agricultural interests of the country are destined to play an important part in the future of Alaska, and it will be only a question of time before the people there are raising all the hay and grain they need

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1904-06-03

The man who selected the site and
laid out the town of Valparaiso played
a costly joke on future generations.
He must have been crazy or drunk,
although the records do not offer any
such suggestion by way Of explanation
or apology for the rash act Valparaiso
means the valley of Paris" and that
is where the joke comes in. Instead
Of being a valley, the place is located
on hills that are so steep they make
ones head swim. Several long streets
ramble aimlessly along the water
front, and then, to get anywhere else,
one must take to row boat or an ele-
vator.
The Chilenos are called the Yankees
of South America. and are praised a
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1904-06-03

Since that time Peru has been in sack
cloth and ashes year for every one
she lived in riotous opulence. And
now Chilli is making poor use Of her
ill-gotten gains.
American money does not circulate
in Chilli It is not accepted in either
banks or stores. It must be traded
off to brokers, much after the fashion
of unused railroad tickets at home. In
either instance one has to take what
ever is offered. The money changers,
like the ticket scalpers, have an agree
ment, and one Of them will not give
more than another.
It is said that Americans are very
proud and boastful, and it is doubtless
true, because they have young and
growing country, and youth is general
ly vain of its strength, but 1t takes the
wind out of Nr. Yankees sail the first
time his pretty gold money is pushed
back at him. was with q party
when this happened. It was at Anto-
fagasta, one Of the nitrate ports Of the
north Of Chilli.

great deal for their energy and their
thrifty qualities. They do look bet
ter and move faster than their neigh
bors. The foreign element here Is
responsible for this improvement, but
1t is likely to prove disastrous In the
end, because it has made the native
ambitious beyond his possibilities. He
is making more show than he can
afford. The country is being rented
out to the foreigners; its resources
are being leased and the rent is being
spent faster than it comes in. Some
day there won't be any more re-
sources. Then the foreigner will go
back where he came from and the ma
tive will find himself sitting up with
corpse.
Chill is living over the history Of
Peru. Its northern part is desert. its
central portion is vineyards, and the
southern region agricultural lands and
forests. The nitrate deposits in the
northern desert are yielding the coun-
try rs per cent Of revenue. The for
eigner is making the bulk of the profit
from these rich fields, and he is send
ing it home. When he winds up his
work and goes away, as he must even
tually, the native will find himself
without means of subsistence. He Is
making no provision whatever for the
rainy day that is certain to come to
all men and all nations.
Years ago Peru had golden goose
in its guano islands and nitrate fields.
It derived millions from them and
spent those millions recklessly and
without thought of the future. One
day the guano deposits gave out, and
then, as If to prove that misfortunes
never come singly, along came Chill
and took away the nitrate fields by
main strength and awkwardness.

book agents. They found Uncle Sans
agent just leaving his place of busi-
ness, and started to ask him where
they could buy some camera plates.
They started we'll, but never got be-
yond the starting point. The consul
said he was awfully sorry; that he was
busy; that he couldn't spare a mo-
ment; that he had something enor-
nous to do right away; that they
must sit down in his Office and wait
for him to come back.
All this was let out like shells from
rapid fire gun as the consul came
out of the yard ON the double-quick,
and headed for the postoff1ce to mail
letter, for that was what he had to do.
The visitors trailed him for half a
block, trying to get their question In
edgeways, but they never succeeded.
They had to get their information
from a hack driver. These fussy
grabbed old fellows are the ones that
cause the demand for consular re-
form.
After it was agreed that the consul
might be forgiven his peevishness be-
cause he had to live in Antofagasta.
which is really quite as bad as its
name. BY right it is no place for
white folks to live. The huge bulk
of a naked mountain overshadows 1t,
and the sun fairly shrivels 1t. 1t is a
blistered, dust-riden transfer station
between the desert and the ocean. The
few sickly looking green things to be
seen are kept alive by constant nurs-
ing with water that comes through a
pipe $50 miles long. 1t is said no
other place in the world has such a
long aqueduct as Antofagasta. The
hack drivers carry feather busters in
the whip sockets Of their cabs because
they need them more than whips, and
