DENIES THE REPORT

The Presbyterian Board of Home
 Missions has sent out in Alaska a
 denial of the charges filed by Frank c Churchill, the special agent oi the president who was sent to the territory to investigate a number of alleged scandals then said to be existing. MT. Churchill made his report to the president and largely on the character of it charges were made in the administration of cer- tain Alaska institutions, notably the maintenance of the reindeer herds. Upon the demand of the

Mining litigation has reached a point, not only in Alaska but in other sections, where it is almost obligatory that congress take some step to abate the evil. Now that Alaska pill have a representative in congress, the members of that body may no longer turn a deaf ear to the needs of the territory, and will in all probability make a good many changes in the present mining laws which will greatly benefit the whole of Alaska.

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

Look backward at Alaska ter years ago, see what the country wal then. Now look at the territory and see what it is today. Ther look forward ten years and ima' zine, if you can, what it will be al the expiration of that time.
 It might be said that ten yearE ago Alaska was practically broad expanse of snow and ice and Els. kimos, But the changes that have been wrought in that brief time have been wonderful, they have been almost beyond comprehension and belief. Today Alaska's natur. al resources are being developed and the entire territory is alive with industry. Natures treasure vaults arc being found and opened by the hand of man, and the con- tents thereof are being distributed throughout the entire world.
 How quickly the period of ten years has gone, and how great the change in Alaska's condition has been in that time. How quickly the ten years to come will go, and how great will be the change be- tween now and then. The changes and advancement Alaska has made in the past ten years are small as compared with the changes, ad- vancement and growth which will take place in the next ten years Science Is now placing us in a DO. sition to cope with the problems Alaska has heretofore presented and in a few years hence Alaska will be looked upon by the world as treasure empire within itself Some time ago writer, in writ ing of Alaska, wrote of the territory as "the land of promise" The promises of yesterday have been kept and today the things prom. ised are a living reality. Alaska is today attracting attention from every portion of the globe. It i: the marvel of the age. One car not pick up a financial paper, peri odical or magazine of any country without seeing Alaska's growth and prosperity exploited. The develop ment of the territory's agricultural and mineral resources has begun and are assuming great propor. tions Every one now knows that Alaska has really entered upon g great era of prosperity.

senate th's rerort was made public. It Is matter of wonder why the
 board of missions should feel called upon to deny any of the accusa- tions if they were as inaccurate as the board would have the public believe. Perhaps the board has
 been misled into believing that the manner in which the reindeer mat ter was administered was wise, but there are other denominations
 maintaining missions in Alaska
 that applaud MT. Churchill and
 his work. Nor is the applause con-
 fined to religious workers. All AL aska has felt that there was some-
 thing radically wrong in the man. ipulation of the reindeer and school
 matters in Alaska. The Churchill
 report has remedied these alleged
 errors by removing the manage.
 ment of those departments from
 the men who have governed them
 for years. If for no other reason
 than this, the Churchill report will
 be looked upon as a benefaction and the board of home missions would have occupied a more digni- fled position if it had chosen some other method of criticism than by denial of the Churchill report through the press.-Record- Miner.

A PROGRESSIVE YEAR

In summing up the years events and progress there appears nothing to mar the present or darken the prospects for the future of the great golden North. Industry and ac. ;tivity reign supreme, and the year IS closing with the most optimist. -cal conditions of any period in Alasda's history.
 Alaska's trade during 1906 shows q decided increase over all former years. The total commerce be- tween Alaska and the States this year will be more than $50,0OO,O00. Progress along the lines of indus trial effort has reached such pro- portions that from now on Alaska's s t'. :, wj'3 the rest of the United e.a,,, aai foreign countries will increase Tapidly and materially.
 Tie fi-,.eries of Alaska have had a h;e,,.' prosperous season, and the back u. salmon during the sea- son now clos.:.. will probably ex- ceed that of last year by 150,000 cases.
 The work of building roads and trails in the various sections of the territory has proceeded steadily during the year and this has been one of the greatest needs Of the country
 Railroad construction has made great progress. New lines have been started, and those that were already under construction have been rapidly pushed to completion, Railroads to facilitate transporta tion, and also to chsapen it, is Alaska's chief need today, and the , progress the territory has made to this end during the past year has been highly satisfactory. There are now fourteen railroads in Alas ka, already completed or in course . of construction. There are also i. others proposed, upon which work has not been started.
 , Since gold was first discovered on the Seward Peninsula it has been , apparent that ditches would have 70 be constructed in order to sup ply water for mining operations. :, At the close of last year some four , 'aen ditches had been completed and others were built, but activity ; m this direction during the year :. iust closing has been greater than ever before and much more has been accomplished than during any prior year.
 The mining industry throughout fhe entire territory of Alaska has made rapid strides, and opera tions have been successful beyond the hopes of even the most opti. mistical. and especially is this true of mining on the Seward Peninsula Mining operations on the Seward Peninsula are being pushed forward with all possible speed, and as the days go by new and richer ground is being discovered. The produc ton of gold from this section during 1906 will show an increase of a least B, ,5O0,OO0 over that of las year. The production would show much greater increase had not dry weather prevailed so long over th' .peuinsula during the summer Prospecting during this winter vii be dons with Keystone drills, 0

OPPORTUNITIES

Thousands of acres of fine tillable land lie waiting for the homesteader. Mining development is only in it's infancy, and there are un- mistakeable evidences of the existence of large bod. ies of minerals in this im- medi.te locality.
 Grat forests of spruce, hembck, red and yellow cedal abound on all the adjacent islands and main land, offering lucrative in- vestnent for the lumber mai, while there are many finsstreams from which to talk water power. A good furniture factory will pay. The fisheries of Alaska neet no introduction, as the quantity and quality of their products already attract attention from the mats of the world.
 Upwards of a hundred trspers make this place thdc winter headquarters, an' many thousands of dolars' worth of furs are shiped annually.
 Fer, bear, duck, geese, etc.abound in such mum. beras to make this section 6 teritable paradise for spttsmen, while caribou, n1ose, sheep and goats at- tra! hunters from various par of the globe to the Caiiar hunting grounds upthe Stikine- River, on wbh the Hudson's Bay Co operates an elegant he, of steamers.

Only q short time ago a new strike in any section of Alaska would cause a stampede to that particular section. It is not go to- day. It has become known that the entire country is one vast area of the precious metal, and a rich strike now creates no sensation. There is a ripple of comment, and all are inspired and encouraged to put an extra effort into their under. taking wherever they are.

in this action also in the position OF
claiming discovery at the same
point mat the plaintiffs did. Both
sides claiming discovery at the same
point would warrant the presumption,
in the absence of a showing to the
contrary, that both based their claim
OF discovery upon the same natural
conditions, and, where such a showing
exists, the court is justified, at least
for the purpose of the motion, in pre-
suming the existence of a discovery,

that such discovery exists.

The Concert given in the Opera

decided success and despite the
threatening condition of the

ried out in full as advertised
excepting numbers 3 ana 4 of

on account of sickness.
The entertainment was highly
appreciated by the music lovers
Of the city and all who partici-
pated are deserving of great
credit, this is especially true of
DR.. Bigelow under whose direc-

Owing to the lack of time we
are unable to 60 into details, but
we will state, however, that the
program was excellently ar
ranged and the novelties intro
duced, such as the piano orches-
ira, consisting of three pianos,
madea decided hit. The num-
bers rendered by Mrs. Jessie
Taylor Hall, Of Fargo, are also
deserving of special mention.
The receipts were $103 90.

save confusion and hasten trans
portation. From the grounds
the cars will distribute passen-
gers to any point in Fargo and

The machinery exhibit hall
when completed will probably be
one of the largest of its kind in
the west. It has been arranged
to build it in sections of 20 feet
long and very wide. AS orders
come in for space by machine
houses, more sections, at given
cost, will be added and there is
no limit to the room that can be
provided. This hall will contain
sights among the most interest
ing to visitors on the grounds.
One large company is preparing
an inclined platform the higher
end of which stops abruptly in
the air. Daily exhibits will be
made of a great 80 horsepower
traction engine hauling a separa-
tor up here and stopping at the
very edge-while one inch more

will be provided in every section
and all machinery will be shown
in action.
