When Alaska was bought and

When Alaska was bought and added to the Union, all the moss backs in both houses of congress rose up and skrieked at the tre- mendous folly of the thing. Luck fly for the United States govern -ment and, incidentally, for miners who have since become million aires. the mossbaoks did not stand much show. and the men who did things in the days when Alaska was purchased from the Russians were content to let them kick and grumhle al their leisure. Here is 8 territory of mineral possibilities which is widening and becoming more marvellous as the years pro- gress. Just at present only few spots along its edges have. been scratched, and these are turning out millions of dollars every year. There are. thousands more to be found in different parts of the in- terior and other places along the edges which will add more and more millions to Alaska's credit. As the country is opened by rail- roads, innumerable lodges of cop per, tin, silver, gold, coal and other minerals and metals will be devel- oped, and in less than half Q cen- tury this country, which was once despised as land of ice and snow and rocky fastnesses, will be one of the leading mineral producing states ill the Cnion.-D.

At the recent trial for one of the most cold blooded murders of a fellow man ever committed, Ches- ter Thompson, hard-hearted vii. lain, was acquitted on the plea of insanity, but more through sym pathy for his aged father. This same plea has freed from the gall lows several murderers in the state of Washington during the past year, and is getting to be quite too common an example to the world at large. Self-constituted lunacy and drunkenness should have no more weight in freeing a man from his just deserts in trial for taking the life of a fellow man than in any other case of clear premediIa- tion, because, in nine cases out of ten, the cases of killing have been determined mon and the lunacy and drunken condition been figured out in advance. Mitchell, Sloan and Thompson bear this out, and it is high time a halt were called ;n such cases. A few hangings will pus A stop to insanity dodges. Young Thompson will have a new trial on the grounds Of his being Q dangerous person, and will prob ably be sent 10 aenitentiarv.

in system of water works. But one of two ways remains open for Wrangell to put in water. One is for some man with sufficient capi- tai to secure franchise and put in a system, and the other is for prop
 erty owners (whose property is in continual jeopardy because of lack of fire proteotion) clubbing together and by contribution, putting in a system that will guarantee some protection. This, of course, might look trifie absurd; but when it is considered that an outlay of s1 900 in this way might save S10,0O0 worth of property. the plan looks sane enough. But, gentlemen, if you don't think this matter worthy of consideration, don't consider it. SENTINEL will not insist, though it sees from past experience the need of action in this matter-and that

It is very necessary that every town of any importance have 8 chamber of commerce or board of trade-some organization that will take ID, discuss and act upon ev- cry question affecting the interests oi the town and community. Such an organization has Wrangell Lad r. i,s Chamber of Commerce. Those outside of its councils have little idea oi tie subjects that have been brought forward, discussed and pro- motel, and what good has ema- mated from them for tic benefit of the town. And yet. in tke face of this fac, some citizens who should have give the bodg their every en- couFagement and help. have put every obstacle possible in its way. Let SENTINEL ask if tkis is right?

tion natural science emerged but
slowly, although with steadily increas.
ing pace. Little by little, in spite of
occasional pauses of inactivity, or ap.
parent forgetfulness, human acquaint'
ance with the fundamental laws of the
universe has grown. Each century
has added something to the total, says
the Harvard Graduates Magazine; and
usually each century has added more
than any century before. What a con.
trast such n development presents to

the acceleration been great; and the
effect of recent growth is so remarka-
BILE that, looking back, one is inclined
TO deny the existence of any real sci.
ence in chemistry century and half

knowledge is depicted diagrammatical.

earth's population and its libraries.
this line is bound to be continued.
