 The spring cleanup beating all records and awakening lively interest everywhere railroad builders tumbling over each other in their activity and eagcrcess to be the frst-iully half a dozen of them in the field at this time-copper developments to beat the banda Montana band-aud added 10 this, politics to be done for the first time iu the district this spring. Surely things are doing iu Alaska"
 It IS good to feel that way, and it is a fortunate thing that the conditions at Fairbanks inspire that kind of feelings. By the way. how the spirit of optim- ism pervades Alaska. No people on earth see more to live for than do Alas kaus. Few have 50 much to live for. The people of the north have q world of history to make and they have set themselves cut to the making of it with a rush and vjgOr that is highly exhil- arating-a manner that breeds optim- ism, strength and viriljty They make life worth while.

Jarvis has. set before the people of the north can exercise their right to home-rule. Mr. shoup places the limit at five years latter the next census). In other words Gov. Hoggatt and Capt. Jarvis are 1O-year tories and Mr. Shoup is a fve-year tory, with an option, probably, on an- other five year lease to begin with the expiration of the first.

One story of the Affair.
1t is alleged that after long continued
disputes between the Catholic priests
and the Chinese magistrate of Nan
chang the priests invited the magis-
trate to a banquet, where they tried
to compel him to sign an agreement
for the payment of a large indemnity
for the destruction of Catholic mission
property.
According to one report the magiS-
trate became indignant and committed
suicide. but the Chinese assert that a
priest attacked and killed him. The
officials. fearing to arrest the priest,
called a public meeting, whereupon the
Catholics. according to the Chinese
version of the trouble. set fire to their
own premises. The public meeting of
the Chinese developed into a riot in
which the missionaries were killed.
The only Protestant mission buildings
destroyed were those of the Plymouth
Brethren.
The names of the Methodist mission
aries at Nanchang are as follows:
Rev. Edward James and wife, of
Wisconsin; DR.. NJ. Charles and wife, of
Ada, Ohio, and four American women,
Gertrude Howe, Genevieve Hughes
Alta Newdy and Kate L. Ogdorn.

findings on the insurance scandals, to
his own governors committee" TO
which he has turned over the proxies
of policy holders in the New York and

holders from whom he collected
proxies.
The basis of each letter is the state
ment that Mr.. Lawson has collected
enough proxies to give him control at
the coming annual elections in both
companies, provided that the admins
trations of the companies do not secure
enough between now and election time
to overset his balance of power by
making new policy holders; that he
will help the Armstrong committee TO
get through the New York legislature
a bill making all proxies void and will
notify his governors committee to con-
sent to voiding all proxies; that he
will work hardest to secure the election
Of a new board of trustees that shall
bring suit for the recovery of the policy
holders wrongfully used funds. and the
sending TO prison of the men who
stole those funds. The letters are all
crisp in diction.

you to make a further effort TO avoid
such a calamity.
You and Mr.. Robbins are joint chair
men of the trade agreement committee
