WRONG END OF THE STRING.

Numerous special write-up men have been sent into Alaska and Yukon Terri tory by reputable outside publications this summer. It has turned out that their visits were disappointing and the sojourn of each was short.
 There are several reasons why this was so. In the first place there are no large holders of real estate in the north who would be made rich by booming their holdings; no railroads with big land grants to parcel out to immigrants; no considerable number of persons in any position whatsoever to benefit by an increased and indiscriminate compe- tition. Even the transportation and mercantile companies could not rapidly increase the demand for their services and their wares without proportionately attracting competing carriers and traders.
 The representatives of the eastern publications came north to peddle their wares and found poor demand for them. If they had taken home with them pa pers from such places as Fairbanks, Nome and Dawson they would have found their people eager to get them. They were pulling on the wrong end of the string. The people of the east, and not those of the north, are the parties at interest when information about this country is to be sent out.

FOOLISH TALK ABOUT GALE.

The following is from the Juneau Transcript of Aug IS. Of course it is absurd to say that Tom Gale is an ex- spotter of the Pinkerton agency; but were it true it ought to prove a source of great joy to the powers at the na- tonal capital who have heretofore found it necessary to dispatch investi- gators to this territory on divers occa- sions. Maybe we would not again hear of a member of the secret service chas- ing on snowshoes a federal appointee across the coast range, down the Yukon and over the Nome tundra to ask him if certain outside campaign gossip were true before he could enter on his official duties.
 It is just as well to acknowledge, though, that the average voter would not feel called upon to help the govern ment out in this important matter.
 Here is the Transcripts story:
 'It now develops that Thos. Cahill, for number of years after he was sheriff back in his home country in Wisconsin, was secret-service man for the government It was his business, so it was alleged by the special agent of the P. l. now in Alaska, to join the miners and other organizations of labor and after possessing himself of the secrets of its agents report to the Pink ertons in the employ of the government. The special correspondent of the P. I. says:
 ''Thomas Gale. the independent candidate put up by the Panama miners, has had his agents and workers in this country and this has attracted attention to the report that Mir. Gale has for many years been in the secret service of the government. This com ing to the ears of the members of the Vest ern Federation of Miners has caused not a little consternation among those who be- iieye Gale has possessed himself of all the secrets of the agents of the federation.
 Whether there be any truth in the report or not it is certain that NIT. Gale was in disguise as a miner just off shift while in Juneau and that he fooled over hundred Tailoring men here and the Transcript also, for 1t is now told that when at home Gale takes q bath at least every 6o days and changes his shirt every time he takes a bath. We'll, Old Slcuth, you are gos-i one, ior we -ixei you uP as the real thing, anal you booked it every inch, by gosh.

THE fact that wooden pipes are to be used as water mains at Dawson and the suggestion that they might prove satis- factory in hydraulic mining operations is reminder that wooden cannon were used by the Cubans in their war for independence. The cannon were made by boring logs and wrapping them with wire in a manner similar to that adopted in wrapping the wooden pipe.
