CASTRO, FRANCE AND WAR.

There will probably be no tapping
of the Monroe doctrine in the event
that France decides to chastise Castro.
In the first place the United States
is as angry with Castro as is France.
He mas flouted our ministers, eschewed
our advice, and made himself gener-
ally to resemble the untamed youth
whom all the passengers in the car
would dearly love to spank. If France
wants to make an example of him the
United States will be glad to see the
job done artistically.
There could be only one possible
drawback and that would be the pre-
cedent which might be set. This coun-
try has discouraged landings of foreign
troops On South American territory
and has successfully steered past all
the dangers of permanent occupation
by creditor nations. We have great
deal of confidence that France would
not attempt to absorb Venezuela under
our nose, but if we encourage ner tC
take vengeance on Castro can We dis
courage such attempts by other cOun-
tries in the future?
Castro's case will have to be set out
as an exception, it's treatment to give
rise to no precedent.

Old line democrats in New York are
worried over Hearst's activity in the
matter of the governorship. There is
tangible proof that he is out for the
nmoniation His Independence league
is camped around the state capitol
with a lot of demands, failure to grant
which by the legislature will result in
a state ticket. Evidences multiply that
with the approach of the conflict he
will be eager to jump into the fray
The independence league is now COR
ganized" in twenty-five counties of the
state By "organized'' the Hearst men
mean that there is some one in twen-
ty-two counties actively charged with
distributing Hearst literature and
quietly working to swing the demo-
cratic vote to the new equal rights
champion. And you know what the
governorship of New York leads to.

The new edition of the Jewish Year
Book shows that there are nearly five
times as many Jews in New York
city as in any other city in the world
This publication places the number at
672,776, whereas Vienna, Austria, and
Lodz, Poland, have only 10000 each
Greater London, with it's population
of six and a. half millions, has only
13S,S60 Jews. 1t was said fifty years
ago that New York should be called
New Cork, because of the number OF
Irish there But the Irish have beer
pretty well assimilated. Now the city
might we'll be called New Jerusalem
But fifty years more may also assimi-
late the Jewish population.

The Laughing Owl.

One Of the most fantastic Of birds is
the laughing owl Of Florida and some
other southern parts. He sits well up
in tree at night and emits a series Of
loud, strange ha-ha's that sound like
half human laughter. The sound is
sufficiently terrifying to nervous
camper unacquainted with the habit
of the bird, though less grewsome than
the unearthly call Of the Chesapeake
loon heard at all hours Of the night
along the shores of that bay.-New

Boats Moving Grain Crop.

LEWISTON, Jan. 27.-The steamer
Norma arrived from Riparia last night
bringing up a cargo of supplies for
the railroad camps and 40 tons of ce-
ment, for the railroad bridges being
constructed across the Clearwater
Captain Akin states that the Norma
will now be continuously engaged in
delivering supplies to the railroad
camps On the up-river trip and On the
wheat from Waha landing and way
points. The stage of water has great
ly improved the past week Or two and
an effort will be made to move the
large amount of wheat stored in the
warehouses along the river.
Owing to the extremely low stage
of the river the past few months only
a small per cent of the immense grain
crop dependent upon the boat service
for shipment has been moved. On her
last trip the Norma took down 1909
sacks from Waha landing and has
since delivered 21O0 sacks from lila to
Riparia. Both the Spokane and the
Lewiston nave recently taken down
several large cargoes but the bulk of
the grain still remains unshipped and
the boats will be taxed to their great
est capacity for sometime to clear the
| warehouses. A conservative estimate
places the amount of grain stored for
shipment at the different points as
| follows:
Judkins, 10000 sacks; lila, 10000;
Almota, 10000; MAYHEM, $4,000; Kuhn
landing. $4,000; Rice's bar 10000; Cen
trail Ferry, 10000; Wanna, 100000; Aso-
! Tin, $4,000, and a large consignment at
| Alpowa and Ten Mile. At the present
| stage Of water the Norma can carry
1 cargo of from 21OO to $500 sacks.

Five men were arrested at Nome for playing draw poker. When brought before the United States Commissioner they set up as a defense that poker is a game of skill and not of chance, and offered to bring witnesses to prove their contention.

 What appears to be strange ethno' logical discovery was made by c. C. Watson, miner, on Silver creek, a tributary of Goldbottom, few days ago says the Nome Gold Digger. MT Mattson noticed in many places that there were small mounds made, of flat rocks standing on end, and on remov ing them found below the skeletons and bones of Eskimos. In addition tc the human bones, he found some pecu liar implements no doubt used by the natives of this country many years These consisted for the most part oi picks and axes made of large pieces ol bone. The handles of these lmple ments being about two inches wide anc about eighteen inches long. Bound tc the handles were other pieces of bone which had been sharpened to poln' like an ax or pick. The bones were in advanced state of decomposition and crumbled to pieces when handled Mir. Matson says that the graves arc located at point almost at the foot oi the mountains, and that they were probably made many years ago. The presence of bone implements rather than those made of ivory would indl cate that the natives who used these tools were different race from those who now inhabit the coast.

 William c. Agle, explorer, prospector, author. of books of travel, and at one time contributor to the Mining and Engineering Journal, died recently in San Francisco. Mir. Agle was born at Greencastle, Pa, in 1858. He came West in 1884 and made the trip to Alaska from Portland in small boat the following year. He was one of the organizers of the first creek-digglngs claim found in Yukon. In 1888, while, prospecting in the Tanana district, his partner, John Bremner, was killed by Indians. This was the first Indian out rage ever punished in the Yukon country.
 Klondike may figure before long in the worlds output of asbestos. Two asbestos discovery claims have been located on Hunker just above Gold Bottom town, and applications for the property filed at the gold office. Sher- man Reid and Joseph O. Baker are the discoverers. They took enough as- bestos from the surface of the seams on their claims to cover boilers which they are operating on Hunker. The asbestos claims are B, 24 and 9 below the placer discovery on Hunker. Each claim, according to the regulations, IS l,5O0 feet square. Some time ago as- bestos was discovered on the hillsides back of Dawson, and quite number of claims were staked. The same lead has an outcropping on the Klondike. Asbestos also has been found on the high bluff back of St. Mary's hospital.
 I. Moore Elmer, the father of dredg- ing in the Yukon, says: "This has been a decidedly successful year in dredging in the Klondike. Our pioneer dredge on Discovery and on Bonanza worked to better profit this year than ever. We had good ground, and the dredge did splendid service. It started May Il, and stopped for the season on October 15. May 16 the dredge was wrecked by high water on Bonanza, and was out of commission until June 9. but that was a mere accident, such as never may be again experienced on the stream. The dredge handled GOO cubic yards of earth daily. Our big Bear creek dredge turned over this sea- son more than half million cubic yards of gravel. The values were good. They were satisfactory. More than that am not at liberty to say. The dredge stopped work October B, after most favorable season. As already IS generally known in the Klondike, the Canadian Klondike Company, operat- ing the Bear creek dredge, will have three more dredges, and if possible, hopes to get them to work next year. It also is planned to bring electrical power from the Twelye-mile and to substitute electricity in the place of steam in driving the dredges.
