Once again we note change in the management of the affairs of the Juneau Record-Miner, H. ". Robinson having lately succeeded MT. Taylor, who will bend all his energies toward the success of the Alaska Magazine. While Mr. Tay- lor had the paper, he gave the peo- pie the best the market afforded in his line, but conducting a daily newspaper is a task of itself, and to get up a creditable monthly magazine is another. Best wishes to Mr. Taylor and his magazine. Mir. Robinson is a newspaper man from fo'c'sle to rudder, and you can bet you last peanut that he will make things hum if he has half a chance.

PARTY LOYALTY

Recent general elections have demonstrated an increasing dispo- slsien on the part of voters to fol- low their own inclinations rather than the dictate of party influence. 'Fhe growth of independent voting is a gratifying sign of the times, as denoting that voters are asserting the prerogatiye of thinking for .theI1sslves 1t is symptom, how .svsl that tne time is st hand when che soundness of our civil education and Of our national capacity is likely to be put to the test, in view of which fact it is we'll to remember that while thousands of indepen- dent voters represent the advance guard of reform, there are thou Bands who represent the worst forces that menace our most cher SShed institutions.
 The tendency of independent vot- ing is to break away from the re straints of laudable party tradition and of the sober counsel of honest men who realize that future good is the result of present unity; to follow the allurement of hattery and the promise of immediate DO. litical reward. Neither personal pique, or prospect of personal ad- vantage should influence party members to assume the responsi- biIitY of breaking party faith.

AS stated in a Juneau paper, re- gently, if there was less wine and women on the passenger steamers plying in Alaskan waters, the loss of life and property by shipwreck would be noticeably reduced, and the recent disappearance of man from Wrangell and the subsequent finding of his overturned boat on a neighboring island, forcibly dem- onstrates the fact that navigating Alaskan waters in 8 small boat is not the proper thing for person who has been indulging in the "cup that cheers''. The treacherous tides and counter currents of Alaska are very bad at best, and no person who is not in complete possession of all his faculties should attempt their navigation. For the regula- tion of passenger vessels, stringent laws abolishing drunken pilots and sea captains should be enacted and enforced to the letter. Those whose business takes them down to the sea in small boats should profit by such examples as the recent local tragedy offers.

TO ABOLISH REBATES

The gross revenues of the rail- roads approximate two thousand million dollars year, or about triple the revenues of the federal government. In theory the rate problem is simple one, involving 2 reasonable charge for transporta- ton service performed, governed by the cost of operating expenses and an equitable return upon capital invested, In practice, however, the rate question has become @ great problem caused by the pressure of the big shipper, for q lower rate than is given the little shipper, and this arrangement has developed a perfectly normal principle of pro- gression by which the big shipper has grown bigger and more insis- tent in his demands, to the increas- ing disadvantage of the smaller shipper.
 The evil effect of this condition in giving added power to combina. tions of capital is obvious and thus far the government has aided rath- CT than hindered the situation.
 There is little doubt that the railroads desire to be rid of the rebate incubus, which is virtually a tax upon earned revenues, and if the government really expects to exert an effective power over the rebate evil, it can best succeed by uniting with the railroads in re- pressive methods.

With a grand rush and roar the gorgeous old Taku glacier recently ended its days by sliding into the warmer waters of Taku Bay, and will be seen no more except as pre-. served upon the sensitized paper of the photographer or kodak fend. Rapidly are these magnificen relics of the glacial period diminishing, soon to be forever gone from the inspired gaze of man. But with their disappearance will come a period of warmer cline in Alaska. which will rebound to her better ment in that it will make of this country one of the producers oi those things upon which man de, pends chiefly for subsistence. His tory and science have proven that the temperature ia affected by these great masses of ice to an enormous degree, and the countries from which they disappeared earliest are now warm and pleasant. As time goes on the warm currents of water and air passing from the tropics are causing the disintegration oi this ice which has laid for untold thousands of years, and within a comparatively few years from thi' time nothing will remain of them but history. While there will be glaciers here for hundreds of years to come, it behooves all those who would see the remaining few in the height of their magnifcenoe and grandeur to avail themselves of the first opportunity for a trip to Alas ka, the scenic paradise.

mined effort made to induce the shellfish to thrive on this coast.
 The Atlantic coast has had 8 monopoly of the lobster business and they have worked it 80 hard that from being one of the most common denizens of the deep, the lobster has risen to an importance that makes him one of the expen- sive luxuries.
 If the government is going to make an effort to save the lobster from eztermination, it Is hard to understand why Puget Sound sho'd be selected for the artificial propa- gation. Southeastern Alaska offers immeasurably better opportunities for artificial propagation than any other part of the Pacific coast. The authorities should select places where they would be sure that there would be no poaching on the lobster reserve, and the natural surroundings, through lack of con- dominating influences, would give assurance that the transplanted crustacean would have practically the same clements of his native habitat.-Difpatoh.

The whalers of the Arctic ocean, who for years past have been in the habit of curing sick sailors by kicking their teeth out, splitting their heads open with strongbacks, capstan bars and other heavy in- struments and stringing them up by the thumbs are liable to adopt a new form of medical practice that is more in conformity with the in stinots of humanity. The local district attorney's office has taken hand in the game, and it looks as though MT, Landers, the first assistant in the case, who has been delving into the matter, holds a very strong hand. Justice may be somewhat slow, but it is tolsrably oertain.-Nome Gold Digger.

The rapidly increasing Alaskan trade is making wholesalers and steamship people begin to sit up and take notice. It is said that every cloud has a silver lining, and it may be that such a lining may be forming on the cloud of high freight rates and poor mail service which has darkened Alaska for so long time.

HARRY HAYNES FINED.
Takes an Appeal-Under Indictment
 By Grand Jury.

In the police court yesterday Harry Haynes was fined $1O0 and costs and sen fenced to 1SO days on the charge of carry ing concealed weapons. He appealed the case.
 Haynes, it will be remembered, entered the saloon of Al Campbell about two weeks ago and began firing off pistol in a reckless manner.
 He was arrested at the time on the charge of discharglng firearms in the city limits and later placed under bond, charged with carrying a concealed wea- pon The trial in the police court was postponed from time to time and later developments resulted in indictments be- ing returned by the grand jury against Haynes on the charge of carrying con- cealed weapons and also assault with in- tent to murder.
 On account of this action by the grand jury the case of dlscharging firearms in the city limits was nolle pressed in the police court.

 A gigantic column of smoke hangs over desolated San Francisco. the apex form ing fantastic shapes thousands of feet in the air and slowly drifting away to the northwest. Although telegraphic com munication was established this evening with the ferry building on the San Fran cisco side, only a very limited amount of matter could be handled.

 DEAD AT SANTA ROSA
Kentucky Man Tells How His
 Life Was Saved
IMPRISONED FIVE HOURS
Rescuers Could Hear His Voice, But Could Not Locate Him and Finally Turned Away and Were
 About to Give Up.

Oakland Ca. April 19.--C. A. Duffy of owensboro, Ky who has been in Santa Rosa since last October, was the only one out of several score to escape from the floor in which he was quartered in the St. Rose hotel at Santa Rosa.
 He came to Oakland on his motor cycle after he was released and tells thrill ing story of his rescue snd the conditions of affairs in general at Santa Rosa
 MT. Duffy says when the shock came he rushed for the stairway, but the build ing was swaying and shaking so that he could make no headway, and he turned back. He threw himself in front of the dresser in his room. trusting to that ob ject 10 protect him from the falling timb CTS. This move saved his life The dres- ser held up the beams which tumb1ed over him, and these in turn protected him somewhat from the falling mass of debris.
 1T was imprisoned five hours," said Mir. Duffy. before finally being rescued. Three times I tried to call, and rescuers heard me but could not locate my position from the sound of my voice. and I could hear them going away after getting close to me.
 Finally I got hold of a lath from the ruins around me, and I poked 1t through hole left by the falling of a steam pipe and by yelling at the same time finally managed to show the people where I was.
 ''There were about three hundred people killed in the destruction of the three hotels and not fewer than 5O in the whole town.
 "The business section of the place col lapsed to the ground almost inside of five minutes. Then the fire started and burned freely from one end to the other of the street, starting at the end and meeting at the middle, thus sweeping over the ruins and burning the imprisoned persons. l saw two arms protruding from the debris and waving frantcally. There was so much noise, however, Inat the screams could not be heard. Just then as looked the flames swept over them and cruelty finished the work begun by the earth quake The sight siekened me and l turned away"

Time to Plant Asparagus.

From the Outing Magazine.
 Small fruit of all kinds-asparagus, pie plant and horseradish-s be set out this month.
 In planting asparagus have the soil well drained and heavily manured and dug up to a depth of at least eighteen inches Set the plants about that distance apart and let their crowns be at least four inches below the surface. Two or three year old plants are preferable to seed Iings. Consult the catalogues and satisfy yourself as to the merits of the best va rieties before ordering, remembering al- ways that it pays to get the best
 Pie plant likes a deep, rich soil. If moderately moist, all the better. Set the roots at least three feet apart. Horse radish should be given a corner by itself and confined to it, or it will spread so rapidly as to soon become nuisance. In & rich soil it will be much tenderer and finer favored than in a pooraone, Peas do best if sewed early in the season. They are not injured by frost.
