made the first appropriation for bring ing over these deer from Siberia fifteen years ago. The whole business has been in his hands. Special Agent Churchill shows that Dr. Jackson has given away the deer right and left among the mission stations, and he de- clares that although the government is prohibited by law from lending aid to sectarian schools or missions the rein deer business in Alaska has been made an inseperable adjunct of various church missionary societies. At Point Barrow, one of the two missionaries has, according to Mir. ChurchilPs re- port, used the reindeer which are sup posed to be there for the benefit of the natives, as means of making money. He has even gone so far as to pay native driver wages for carrying mails equivalent to only one-fifth of the sum which theImissionary received from the government for carrying the mail him. self. This instance is set down as an example of what thrifty missionary can do in Arctic Alaska.
 Men who have large mining interests in Eastern Alaska have asked the coast and geodetic survey to hasten the work of marking the Alaska boundary in the region north of the panhandle. Parties sent out by Henry Bratnober and other large operators have located many cop per claims in the country east and northeast of Wrangell mountain, and some locations have been made by prospectors so close to the supposed international boundary that doubt eX- ists as to whether the claims are really in American or Canadian territory. It is feared that complications will be encountered later on, and the validity of certain holdings may be questioned. The doubt as to the exact location of the boundary line is especially felt Tn the White river region, where prospect ing for copper has been actively carried on during the last year. This part of the boundary was never in dispute at least not in recent years-and did not figure in the deliberations of the joint tribunal of the United States and Great Britain when the long standing international controversy in Southeast ern Alaska was settled for all time. The line north of the Goth parallel is as straight as an arrow, extending from point slightly west of the Al meridian to the Arctic ocean. All that is requir- ed is the erection of visible monu- ments and, in wooded regions, the clearing of vista, enabling prospectors and others to determine readily the location of the boundary. This work has been postponed, pending the com pletion of the work in Southeastern Alaska, but it is possible that the mat ter will be taken up by one of the field parties as early as next summer, ln view of the new mining interests in the extreme eastern part of Alaska. The need of an immediate visible marking of the boundary in the White river country is emphasized by the belief of many prospectors and miners that the copper deposits of the Wrangell moun- tain and White river country extend into the Yukon territory. That large bodies of ore exist on the Alaska side at frequent intervals between Valdez and the international boundary has, 1t is declared, been demonstrated beyond doubt

George Baldwin, of the Alaska Gen. tral, has established base camp just below Fairbanks, and started out crew of surveyors locating line for the railroad on that side of the Alaska range.

 Writing in the current number of the Booklovers' Magazine, Rex E. Beach begins a story that he terms "The Loot ing of Alaska" In brief foreword, it is announced that this and future arti- cles will trace a record of the "black- est page in the history of American iudiciary;" that an attempt will be made to show how the discoverers of gold rich properties were "robbed through process of law" of the fruits of their efforts; how, in this theft cabal was formed, which included in it's membership United States senators and prominent politicians of the East and West.
 That dear old soul Governor William Gooseberry Brady, is out with another telegraphic question. This time he wants to know whether or not Council City is incorporated, says the Council City News. The Governor is living interrogation point! There are so many things he wants to know that it must keep him pretty busy framing questions by. tele- graph and we would respectfully sug- gest that he formulate and publish a special code so as to save to the Gov ernment (for we presume it is the Gov ernment that pays the bill) the cost of his lengthy telegrams. How much simpler it would be to say simply "Ap- pomatox" for "What are beans worth in your district?" "VercingetoriX" for "Are cauIifowers cheaper this year than they will be next?" "Ichyosaurus" for eff you had brother, would he like cheese?" And so on with similar ques tions of like imp portance.
 Outrageous conditions in connection with the government reindeer service in Alaska have been brought to light, and a general overhauling of the whole system, from the ground up, is promis- ed by the interior department. Secre- tary Hitchcock has his dander up, and he is determined that the reindeer graft shall be abolished. The maintenance of reindeer herds for the benefit of the Eskimos is still strongly upheld as wise policy of the government, but the present methods of conducting the business are roundly condemned. White men, chiefly missionaries, own the greater number of deer, and are using them for their own benefit. It is claimed that although the original reindeer were bought with government money for the benefit of the native in habitants, the animals have been given away by thousands to missionary socie- ties without price, and that in some cases the missionaries are making money out of the graft. Dr. Jackson is known as the father of the domestic reindeer service in the far north, for it was through his influence that congress

 The accounts and accompanying papers presented by Bishop Rowe for expenses incurred through supplying and caring for Indians at Fort Yukon during an epidemic of diptheria in July 1904, have been submitted to con- gress through letter from Secretary Hitchcock. Gov. Brady recommends the payment of the claim.
 A miners paradise is reported to have been found in the Tanana country. It is along the Tolanika river, about no miles from Fairbanks. The river cuts through mountain ranges, leaving vast lodges of anthracite coal exposed. The miners use coal to thaw the ground and for heating and cooking purposes, and it is but eight feet on an average to bedrock.
