The secretary of the interior has strongly recommended to congress that an arrangement be made by which government school teachers in Alaska may assign their pay. Many of these teachers have relatives in the states who are depende nt upon them to certain extent, and it is proposed that the secretary of the interior, acting upon authority of the teachers, may send part of their pay to their reia- tives direct. A similar provision ex- ists in the army, soldiers on distant stations being permitted to assign their pay or part of it to relatives or other persons at distance. According to this plan, which has been incorporated in bill now pending in congress, they may also assign portions of their pay to merchants who provide them with supplies.
 The Wrangell Sentinel has "feelin's" in regard to Alaskan political matters, and puts it in this way. "So Alaskans are to be given chance to vote, as the bill for the election of delegate to congress from this district, in August next, has passed and become law. AL ready Seattle has nominated a candi- date-A. P. Swineford. We have no particular objection to Mir. Swineford; but there is one thing that may as we'll be understood here and now: Alaska is about to change her swaddlipg clothes; and as she IS plump, healthy child, she needs none of Seattle's safety pins to keep the new change on herself. An Alaska man will be nominated and elected to fill the honorable position; and it will be done by Alaskans without the aid of the Seattle spirit
 Some uneasiness is felt on account of the fate of the Alaska delegate bill. It is feared that jealousy over the title of the bill may cause it to fail. Many AL askans are in favor of giving credit for the bill to Representative Cushman, of Washington, but Senator Nelson, Of Minnesota, is determined that all AL askan legislation shall bear his hall mark. When the Nelson bill, as it pas sed the senate, reached the house, the committee on territories struck out all except the title and enacting clause, and substituted the Cushman bill. In that form it passed the house. Senator Nelson now objects to the concurrence by the senate in the house amend ments. The differences in the bills are not great. The principal ones relate to the residence qualifications of electors, the date of the election and the manner of creating election precincts. The Nelson bill requires residence in the district of one year and in the precinct of 60 days; makes the election the first Tuesday in August, and requires the United States district courts to create election precincts and appoint election officers outside of incorporated towns. The Cushman bill makes the residence qualifications of electors one year m the district and 30 days in the precinct; it makes the date of the election the second Tuesday in August, and au- thorizes United States court commis- sioners to create election precincts and appoint election judges. One or the other of the bills must be ratified be- fore the president will have an oppor- tunity to sign it.

 The worlds pack of salmon in 1905 IS estimated by H. M. Kutchin, special agent of the department of commerce and labor, as 100000 cases larger than that of 1904. The largest gains were on Puget Sound and jn British Colum- bia. Mir. Kutchin places the 1905 pack at 4,841, ,619 cases, while the 1904 pack was S3,363, ASA cases. The Alaska pack last year was 2,O59,119 cases or about 43 per cent. of the worlds total produc- tion. A part of MT. Kutchin's report follows; "The seasons Alaska pack foots up 1889, ,o15 cans, and 1S,S91 bar .rels, together with 7,565,Oo9 pounds of dry salted fish. In 1904 the aggregate was 1858, ,746 cases and 15,4o7 barrels Being reduced to cases, the figures are 2,o59, ,119 for 1905, against 2o12,S2S in 1904. While there is actually loss of 64. .731 cases of canned salmon,the total output for the year shows gain of the equivalent of 6,191 cases, which is ex' plained by the large increase of salted and dry cured fish,"

other quality, however, which is al
most if not quite as essential in jury

marshaled facts in such orderly Sc

Stephen Collins Foster, the most pop
ular of American song writer's and
composers, has been called the Edgar
Allan Poe of music. Like Poe, he was
q genius. He came Of Virginia parent
age, received good education and died
in New York Jan. 10, 1864, in the
height Of his fame, penniless wander
er. He was born in Pittsburg July 4
1926.
He learned easily, and after receiv.
ing private lessons in music and draw.
ing taught himself to play on the
fageolet, guitar and banjo He also de-
voted several years to the voice and
piano. Then he turned his attention to
composing songs and dialect ballads
and dialect songs At the age of seven
teen, while employed in Louisville, KY,
he published the serenade open Thy

successful. Then followed Uncle Ned"

alties on it's sale Of over half million
copies and the honor of knowing that
eminent singers like Jenny Lind sang

THE ELYSEE PALACE.
Checkered Career of the White
House of France.

The Elysee palace, situated in the
Rue FaubOurg SaintHOnOre, is a cross
between a country house and hotel.
It has had a checkered career since its
erection in 171S and has harbOred some
queer characters. Louis V. presented
1t to Nine. de POmpadOur. Who knows
how many lettres de cachet went out
of the gates to imprisOn those who
lampOOned her? Under Louis XVI. 1t
was called the Elysee Bourbon. Dur
ing the revolution it became national
property, was put up for sale, found no
purchaser and was turned into q gov

directoire there were gay doings In the
fine old rooms, and the merveilleuses
and incroyables danced and gambled

were let to syndicate who smade
large fortune out of the speculation.
Since then the palace has been Occu-
pied by Murat, Napoleon l., Louis
Bonaparte and Queen HOrtense, Alex

ALPINE AVALANCHES.


These Deadly SnOwslides Are Often
Started by q sound.
There are many kinds of avalanches.
There are the powdery avalanche, the
creeping variety, the glacier avalanche
and others. When the sun strikes upon
the illimitable snow fields and the snow
begins to move the mass in its descent

enormous rock masses and millions OF

noise like thunder, it expends its fury
on the level floor of a valley where de-
fenseless villages may be.
A great avalanche of this kind has an
invisible fOrerunner almost as destruc-

cane caused by the air it displaces. 1t
is no common sight to see giant trees
uprOOted, broken and twisted, the
