III AHt dlhuhi report OF tnt toNefnor
Of Alaska, which has been received at
the office OF Secretary Atkinson, ap-
pears this paragraph:
"MATRIMoNY.
"The males predominate. This Is
easily accounted for by reason OF the
life OF adventure that is before any
young man OF health and courage that
comes to this country. Many have
come and they thoroughly enjoy 1t, but
they have not been as successful in for
tune as they expected, yet have not
given up the struggle. They have too
much pride to return to their old homes
for a visit and for wife. Most of
them are as fine specimens of manhood
as ever stood on two feet. 1t is no
ticed that schoolma'ams and other
young women who come here do not re-
side in place but short time before
some worthy admirer turns up and tells
the old story. number of these
chose matrimony during the past year.
There should be no such thing as race
suicide in Alaska, where we have more
than nine square miles per capita. 1t
is delicate matter and not easy to
arrange, but 1t is desirable to have
more young women of good mind and
health to try this western life and
home building. Those who have a love
Of children and desire to rear family
should learn what special advantages
Alaska has to hold for them"
Here Is a chance for eligible young
women. LAS fine specimens of man
hood as ever stood on two feet" are
literally going a-begging for wives; and
are too proud poor fellows, to go to
any land where wives may be had for
the asking. OF course there are plenty
such lands. Every married man has
found a land of that kind, at some
time or another in his life, and many
married men have found two or three.
The ardor of these husky young
Alaskans is shown in the fact that the
school ma'ams that go there are snap
pedup in no time at all. 1t might appear
indeed. that every ice hummock has a
willing bachelor roosting on it, waiting
for school ma'am or something to
come along, so as to have his chance.
And while. of course, as the Cover
nor of Alaska aptly remarks, there is
really small chance for race suicide in
Alaska so long as this condition con-
tinues-unless the forlorn bachelors
should all get the suicide fever at
once-there does seem to promise a
small chance for the race to get an
education-that is, the coming race-or,
the-well, as the Governor says, this is
delicate subject. Babies are delicate.
Anyway, there would seem to be a
call for mercy here, and ladies are
proverbially known for their devotion
to works of mercy. 1t is comparatively
easy to get to Alaska, as steamers run
now.

KOREANS ARE
THE BEST
WORKERS

James W. Hunt, the assistant mana.
ger of the Oriental Mining company, an
American corporation holding a Korean
concession, was one of the through pas
sengers on the S. S. Manchuria, on his
way to the mainland for vacation.
Mr.. Hunt has spent the past seven
years in Korea and is an enthusiastic
admirer of the Koreans as workmen,
giving them the preference over both
the Chinese and japanese.
The concession being developed by
the Oriental company consists of the
Wun San district, thirty miles square,
and, as the work has proven, is one of
the best mining sections of the coun-
try. At the present time the lodges be-
ing worked upon are keeping $50
stamps at work, the average monthly
gold output being 100000 yen. In ad.
dition, recent prospecting work has
shown that there are immense placer
deposits in the concession which will be
opened up and worked at once.
"The Korean laborers now in Hawaii
are drafted altogether from the seaport
scum said Mr.. Hunt. GAS a matter
of fact the Korean is the pick of all the
Orientals as a workman. have
worked Chinese, japanese and Koreans
during the past seven years and have
not the slightest hesitation in saying
that the Korean is decidedly the best.
Just now we have 2500 of them at the
mines. We pay them 25 cents a day
and on that wage they can live well
and save money. In comparison with
the cost of living here and there that
is more money than the plantation
hands receive in Hawaii.
"There is nothing in the reports OF
the revolution in Korea 1t is all news
paper talk, although it is true enough
that the people there are not taking
kindly to the japanese occupation of
the country. The japanese have not
treated the people there at all fairly,
although they have not interfered in
our concession rights. All over the
country they are seizing rice lands and
paying for it only about thirty per
cent. Of its value. For their railroad
right ht-of-way from Seoul to Anju they
have confscated enough land to build a
three-track line, paying nothing for it
and forbidding the use of any of it to
| the farmers along the line. When they
were building this railway during the
war they forced the Koreans to work
on it and paid them nothing. They
would seize a merchant, for instance,
daub some paint on his cheek and put
him to work. Some of our miners left
US at this time to work on the railroad
and as carriers for the army, being
promised 80 cents day, but they soon
| ran away and came back to us because
they could not collect any of their
wages.
at is almost impossible to get any
concessions in Korea now. There is
lots of mineral there, but the Japanese
will not let any of it 60 unless they
are in control of the companies formed,
and they want this control without put
ting up any money for it.

homes or to places of vacation. For six months
there had been little but rush and tear in the
consideration and transaction of public business.
Everybody was wcrn out.
Great calm followed and followed suddenly.
Washington has not known period of such
quiet in every branch of the government since
Roosevelt became President as there has been
since he left for Oyster Bay. There has been
little activity in the departments in proceedings
to put the sweeping laws of the recent session
into operation. Secretary Wilson has been work

railroad rate regulation law into effect late in
August and also to begin investigation of
grain elevators in the West under resolution
adopted by the Senate late in the session

partment has been wrestling with the public
building problem, incident to the authorization
of 200 public buildings. The Supervis-
ing Architect s Office has been sending out adj
vertisements for bids for these various projects,
including an advertisement for bids for the pur-
chase of site at Honolulu for postofice, court
house and custom house at cost of $l50,000.
Thu advertisements went out July IL and the
bids will be opened in this city September II.

GIVEN A HEARING.
Employment Agents Argue for Issu-
ance of Licenses

= The Commissioners this morning gave a
public hearing to a number of proprietors
of employment agencies who have been re-
fused licenses to operate in the District In
Issuing the licenses last week nine out of
thirteen applicants were denied by the Com
missioners because their methods of con-
Quoting their places We're questionable.
The first applicant who testified before the
Commissioners today was William ]. Fisher,
a young man who is working his way
through the Georgetown Law School by
conducting an employment agency. The in
formation about him furnished the Commits
sioners and upon which they based their
refusal was that he had supplied two houses
of ill-fame with two middle-aged colored
women to work as domestics. He frankly
admitted this, but said this was done two
years ago and he knew of no law prohibit
ing 1t.
Fisher was represented by Attorney Ham
ilton, who stated that his client has vio-
lated neither the spirit nor purpose of the
law, and in view of his commendable rec
ord of three years as an employment agent
the Commissioners should place confidence
in him and furnish him the necessary Ii
cense. He declared that If the Commission
ers are to enforce this law and regulate
these agents from a moral standpoint, they
should not allow houses of ill-fame to exist.
The hearing was adjourned and resumed
again at $50 O'Clock, when the other appli-
cants were heard.

APPEARS AND DISAPPEARS.
Charles Appler, Home for Thanksgiv-
ing, Again Departs.

Charles Appler of 2S0s P street who
about two and one-half years ago disap-
peared from his home, and as suddenly re-
appeared last Tuesday, has again depart
ed without announcing his destination.
When. Mr.. Appler first left home in 1904
his friends were much alarmed, as they
feared he had met with serious accident
and the police We're notified. His mother
stated that he had become discouraged be-
cause of lack Of work. and had left home
to secure employment. When the door bell
rang Tuesday Mrs. Appler answered it,
and was confronted by her son, who stated
that he had come home to spend Thanks
giving with her. The young man told his
mother that he had been in the merchant
marine service and had sailed all over the
world.
Mr.. Appler Wednesda- visited old
friends and -endeavored to secure employ
ment. but was unsuccessful. Thanksgiv-
ing day about o'clock pm. he stated that
he was going down town, and that was the
last seen of him here. His mother thinks
he has returned to the vessel on which he
had served.

OILS AND AMMUNITION.
Mr. F. P. May Argues for Amendment
of Regulations

F. P. May, hardware merchant whose
place of business is located at 6S4 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, appeared before the Commits
sioners at a public hearing this morning
and protested against the police regula-
ton applying to the keeping and sale of
fixed ammunition. He stated that the law
is too stringent, and inasmuch as fixed
ammunition is not conceded to be danger
Gus explosive, he asked in behalf of himself
and other hardware merchants of Wash
ington, that the word Ammunition be
stricken from the regulation. Fire Chief
Belt who was present at the hearing,
stated that, as fire fighter for many years,
he does not consider fixed ammunition,
such as used in cartridges, dangerous. He
