 The kelp which clutters the beaches of Friday Harbor and other points down the Sound is to be converted into citron preserves and marmalades by process recently invented by Prof. Theodore Frye of the department of botany at the University of Washing ton, and Prof. Edward Magnusson of the department of electrical engineer ing.

 Russia should be interested in the coming big Alaska-Yukon Exposition if for no other reason than to see what a grand bargain she gave the United States when, in 1867, she sold Alaska, comprising 599,446 square miles, for the mere pittance of S7,2OO,000!!!

District Attorney Boyce and the

District Attorney Boyce and the grand jury have determined to test whether or not selling whiskey to h. dians is a felony. Two people from Ketchikan, Richard Berry and Joshua Dodson, have been indicted for selling liquor without having paid the internal revenue tax. The proof, it is alleged, shows that they sold liquor to Indians They were arraigned but have not plead to the tments.-Alaskan.
 The Seattle Post Intelligencer quotes Dr. Cabell Whitehead of Nome as fol- lows: "Partisan politics should have no part in the affairs of Alaska. Any convention, either partisan or non-par- tisan, that undertakes to represent all sections of Alaska would be mere farce, owing to the conditions that eX- ist in the Northern country and the short time left in which to prepare for such convention. Delegates going from one section of Alaska to another to attend convention would in great many instances take up an entire sea- son, and the men who can afford to spend their time in this way are men that we do not want to represent us."
 The first hydraulic mining of which there is an authentic record was at Yan kee Jim's, placer camp in Placer county, Cal, about three miles west of Forest Hill. A ditch was dug along the hillside and from this Hume was built outward toward a small ravine, where the mine had been opened. This Hume was carried out until it had reached point thirty feet above the ground. Here the water poured into barrel, to the bottom of which was at- tached hose or pipe of rawhide. The nozzle was tin pipe about four feet long and shaped like an ordinary horn, having an opening one inch in diameter at the end. With this small and simple apparatus D. B. Mattison, the inventor, soon proved the superiority of his de- vice over shovelling, and the idea was at once adopted and quickly improved and enlarged upon.

 Senator Tillman was accusing polit- icaI leader of overbearing, arbitrary methods.
 "He goes too far," said the senator. "He is like the militia captain they used to have in Concord.
 "This man came to Concord with a war record, and got captains appoint ment in the militia.
 "He was martinet The first day he reviewed his company he examined every hair on their heads, every button on their coats. It was an ordeal for them.
 "On the whole the captain was pleased with his inspection. One thing dissatisfied him, though. His men all had clean shaven upper lips. Some had side whiskers, some had mutton chops, some had goatees, some had patriotic chin boards. There was not one who had mustache.
 "The captain complimented his com pany in short speech, and concluded by saying:
 "Only one thing is lacking to make crack, martial-looking company of you -mustaches. want every man Jack of you to raise a mustache.
 "At this order the men looked at one another, and young farmer, stepping out from the ranks, saluted and said:
