Grass I'm Alaska .

Speaking of the extortionate charges
of the beef trust, the San Francisco
Examiner some time ago proposed
that the reindeer industry of Alaska
be developed 50 that the western states
could be supplied with reindeer meat
and do away with trust prices on tne
coast. While there is very little pros
pect of Alaska deer ever competing
in the states with home-raised beef,
It Is not impossible for this country to
supply It's own markets with meat. Ac-
cording to reliable reports there is
plenty of grazing land on the islands
to the westward, and there should be
money in the stock business In Alaska

 MUST HAVE BEEN NEW MEXI- CO.-Capt. A. F. Banta said yesterday in commenting on the inquiry in yes terday mornings Republican about the whereabouts of the former towns of Mesilla and Eranchville, AriZ., that there never were any such places. And the captain knows, for he was about the first man on the ground after Cor onado, and he's been here ever since. There is little town by the name of MesIlla in New Mexico, and has been for the last thousand years, or at least as far back as the captain can re- member. He concludes that the Mir. Goodwin mentioned must have lived in New Mexico. As for Branchville, he says there may have been one in New Mexico for all he knows, but there never was such a place in Arizona.

Christiana July 24.-"If Sweden re-
sorts to force to carry out her concep-
ton of an honorable arrangement with
Norway she will find us prepared for
all consequences" said Prime Minis
ter Christian Nicholson Saturday
morning. Norwegian sentiments and
hopes have become 50 who'll centered
in this trusted statesman that what he
says is literally the voice of the people.
Our action of June T." he continued,
was constitutional notice to Sweden
that the Norwegians intended hence
fCrtl to be their own masters. There
will be no retreat from that attitude in
the dissolution negotiations with the
gentlemen of Stockholm.
Sweden has perfect right to guard
zealously whatever 1t considers its
honor, but it must remember that aon-
or is not Swedish monopoly and tina,
Norway has some which will be pro-
tected ALSO"
Monarchy Open Question.
When asked If 1t had been definitely
decided whether Norway would pc a
monarchy or republic Mr.. Nicholson
said: mo; that is still an open ques-
ton. II neither a Swedish nor a Dan
ish prince is available the sentiment
which is now held only by minority
might rapidly crystalline. Tie natur-
al bent of our people is moarchical.
Our history is so intimately wrapped
up with the lives OF our kings that we
would abandon royal institutions with
reluctance"
When the bitterness of today has
passed away Premier Miclesen looks
forward to happier relations between
Swedes and Norwegians than ever ex-
listed before. Racial, lingual, relig-
ious, geographical and commercial ties
bind us so closely that friendship will
be unavoidable. If Sweden should
wish to give effect to these naturas
bonds through a defensive alliance
Norway would not oppose it; because
we lave a common danger from the
east.
"Sweden's fears that Norway may
pursue foreign policy inimical t1
Sweden are ungrounded. We will be
nobody's yassals. nobodys confeder-
ates. No entangling alliances will
be one of the fundamental principles
of the new Norway as it was in the
new America of 1916 All we ask is to
be let alone and permitted to live in
peace, develop our resources and work
out our own salvation"

Opera Bouffe in War.

Heron peers into the darkness. He can

USE OF PLATINUM ANCIENT.
Found in the Tomb of an Egyptian
Queen Who Lived 700 B. C,

rouho IN the Iomp OF an Egyptian
Queen Who Lived 700 B. C.
Perhaps some Psychologist will
slortly disc er that radium was
known to tn ncients, for most OF the
recent discoveries appear to be but du-
plications of earlier results. 1t has
been generally supposed that platinum
was first found in the early half OF the
sixteenth century wnen gold ore from
the Spanish mines in Darien was found
sometimes to include particles of
white metal possessing properties or
Wat the alchemists termed the
noble" metals, but which could not be
identified. The export of this new
metal was prohibited, and 1t was not
until 1850 that it became generally
known and was made the subject of in
vestigation.
Two or three years ago M. Ber1elot,
Frencl savant, while in Egypt, was
examining the contents of a tomb
ascribed to an Egyptian queen of the
seventh century before the Christian
era. Among articles of use and adorn-
ment he found plate of what he at
first took to be silver, but which, upon
closer investigation, he discovered to
be platinum. probably from the alluvial
deposits washed down from the UPPER
Nile in times of food.
Since then other discoveries led to
the knowledge that the metal was
known to the Egyptians and esteemed
for its useful properties.

THERE is too much law-toO much per-
sistent and annoying interference with
and regulation Of the Individual in mat
tors of 30 public concern. The statute
books are loaded up with all manner of
legal requirements that burden the citi-
zen; it has come to be virtue to legis
late. The sound proposition that that
people is best governed which is least
governed is properly qualified to protect
the public against corporate power-a
new complication in government; but so
busy are our law makers, so meritorious
is it to be the father of law, that
men sit up nights to find some invention
or new condition which will make peg
for statute to hang upon. Take the
fresh duty of Registering" ones auto
mobile. The owner must literally go to
the secretary OF states office or commu-
nicate by mail with regard to these
power wagons, though they are multi
plying each day and will soon be as COM
monplace and frequent as top buggies.
Why should it be necessary to get tag
and pay fee because perchance, man
buys an automobile? He may buy one
in the morning and exchange it for a
piano by night time. Why burden the
citizen? Why make it so momentous a
matter to own vehicle propelled by
gasoline instead Of horse? Speed reg
ulations are sensible-perhaps an identi-
fcation mark, though we doubt it; but
this could be done through the city
clerk or the police department by way of
an informal ordinance as with dog Ii
censes. We submit that to set the ma
chinery of the commonwealth in motion,
to invoke the august powers OF the state
simply because citizen has purchased
an automobile instead of sewing ma
chine or lawn mower, runs close to
ridiculous. If legislators will do these
foolish things, the executive of state at
least should take the ground that
statutes are sober business they should
neither be made nor changed until the
issue of one worth while-State Journal.
