PRINCESS.

Madrid, jan 24.-The most scrupu-
lous reserve is being maintained in
court circles concerning the arrange
ments FOR the marriage of King Al
fonso and Princess Ena of Batten-
berg, and one might well imagine
that all of the secrecy of the middle
ages surrounds the court at Madrid.
a few facts continue to leak out,
however. AS at present arranged. the
formal announcement of the betroth-
al will be made either just before or
when King Edward visits Madrid, and
the wedding will probably take place
during the traditional fetes of San
Isidro.
The conversion of the princess to
the Roman Catholic faith will be a
ceremony of great sOlemnity. 1t will

dral here, and it will be presided Ov-
er by the primate of Spain, the cardi-
nal archbishop of Toledo. The nine
archibshops and 46 bishops Of the
Kingdom will be sumOmned to attend.
A rumor which has been circulated
to the effect that the pope did not
view the alliance with favor is declar-
ed to be groundless.

GRAZING ON
RESERVES
IMPORTANT CIRCULAR FROM FOR
EST SERVICE TO APPLICANTS
FOR PERMITS.

The Argus has received from Forest
Supervisor Ira E. Todd, of Neihart,
the following circular relative to
grazing within forest reserves, which
will prove of interest to many of our
readers:
To Applicants for Grazing Permits:
In accordance with the forest re-
serve rule and regulations, on and af
ter January l, 1906, moderate fee
will be charged for the privilege of
grazing all classes of live stock.
The, forest reserves belong to all
of the people, but of necessity, their
use for grazing purposes can only be
allowed to limited number. There
fore it is fair and just that those who
receive the grazing privilege should
pay small fee which will go toward
helping to pay the running expenses
OF the reserves.
In order to protect and assist home
builders, special concession will be
made in the grazing fee on cattle for
the season of 1906 as follows:
the permits of each state or terri.
tory for the year 1905 will be listed
in order of the number of cattle GOV.
cred; then beginning with the small
est, one-half of the permits will be
counted off, and the number of cat.

concession.

It will be the aim of the Forest Ser

each reserve TO a number of stock

actual grazing capacity of the range
under normal conditions, to make
such range divisions among appli.
cants and different classes of stock

 Another big lawsuit over rich interior copper properties is now promised if a case which was filed in district court this week is pushed to trial, says the Valdez News. The suit was brought by Katherine May Elliott against the Hubbard Elliott Copper Mines Devel- opment Co.,, which owns the we'll known Hubbard & Elliott properties on the Kotsina. The complaint alleges that by virtue of contract entered into at Chicago between the plaintiff and her husband, H. c. Elliott, in 1898, she is entitled to a one-half interest in all property acquired by said H. c. Elliott in Alaska. It is claimed that in con- sideration of sums of money paid before the contract was drawn and the payment of $400 at the time, H. c. Elliott was to come to Alaska and prospect for and acquire mining prop critics and that the plaintiff was to have an equal interest in everything secured. It is set forth that the numerous claims in the Kotsina district were ac- quired by location and otherwise by H. c. Elliott and Chas. G. Hubbard and that they were later transferred to the Hubbard Elliott Copper Mines Devel- opment Co., corporation organized under the laws of the state of Wash ington. Hence the suit against the company for what the plaintiff claims are her rights.

 Several strikes have been recently reported from widely varying points, which are of interest to mining circles.

 Duncan McDonell writing to a friend from Georgetown, Kuskokwim, says: ''Last winter dogs at Kalkagamute ate a little native girl. She went to a water hole, and the beasts jumped upon her. When she was discovered shortly after ward her body was torn apart and very little of it left, the head being seperat- ed from the body. The Indians chained the dogs up in the woods and starved them to death.-Nome Nugget.
 News comes from the lower Kusko- kwim to the effect that Ella, Russian half-breed, is accused of murdering three of Lind the traders children, at the mouth of the river, last summer. It was reported that the children had been drowned by the upsetting of a boat, but certain suspicious action on the part of Ella lead to the belief that they were murdered in cold blooded manner. Lind also lost his wife and two daughters last summer, the latter dying of diphtheria.
 The shipments from the United States to Alaska during the first two thirds of the preseat fiscal year have been greater than S1,00o,000 a month. The increase is more than 60 per cent. over the shipments of last year. The shipments from Alaska to the states have been smaller than dur, ing the previous year on account of the reduction in the quantity of the sal mon pack. The statement from which these facts are gleaned does not include the statistics of metal shipments from Alaska.
 The recent epidemic of diptheria among the natives of the Kuskokwim again emphasizes the need of govern. ment control of these people. And by government control is not meant the herding of the natives upon reserva- tions, but such decent supervision as would insure them aid in times of famine and when they are assailed by disease. Duncan McDonell, former United States commissioner for Kus kokwim precinct, states in letter to the Nome Nuggett that at least fifty natives, mostly children, died last fall and during the early winter. He also says that many more of this helpless people would have succumbed to this dread disease but for the humane act of a firm of traders, who quarantined the sick, fed them, and ministered to their wants as best they could. Surely the work of these men is entitled to the warmest commendation.

There is great sensation at Fair banks over the exposure ofan attempt to bribe the United States marshal's office. Robert Warren, night patrol man at Cleary City, has been arrested charged with the crime. Warren claims that he was acting as agent for the saloon men of Cleary City and that the object was to induce the marshals of flee to permit gambling and dance halls in that place. The exposure was made by laying a trap and placing witnesses where they could overhear the conversation. These witnesses say that they were successful and that the marshal's office was to get S1,00O per month if the officers agreed to the proposition. It is also claimed that $500 was paid on account.

 Prof. Georgeson, who has done such good work in the past few years in showing the agricultural possibilities of Alaska, is taking North herd of Galloway cattle, purchased by the gov ernment, which will be established on the Kenai peninsula. The hope is that this hardy breed will prove adapted to the climate of Alaska and that the herd will, in time, furnish supply for the prospective farms to be created in the northern country. There is little doubt that the experiment. will be successful. The climate on the Kenai peninsula, where the herd will be established, is no more severe than it is in Scotland, where the Galloways were originally bred. Cattle of this breed are fitted to endure much more severe weather than they are likely to encounter in their new location. The workings of the ex- perimental stations, which are under Prof. Georgeson's supervision in Alas ka, have demonstrated the agricultural possibilities of Alaska, showing con- clusively that there is no climatic reas- on why Alaska should not produce the greater portion of the food consumed by it's inhabitants. Indeed, their are few places which present as good a prospect for the man who desires to make money in farming as some DOT tions of Alaska. The agricultural pop ulation will always be in the minority and the mining population will always furnish a market at high price, for everything which can be pro- duced at home.-EX.
