An Extraordinary Session.


The recent session of the legisla-
ture will go down in history as one
of the most extraordinary in the an
nails OF the state. 1t seems that no
folly was too great 20 draw the ;-tten-
ton and support of the men who are
supposed 10 represent the best inter
ests Of the people of Florida, no eX-
traYagance sufficiently wild TO raise
a voice OF protest loud enough to stem
the tide of WantOn waste that rolled
over both houses of the general as
sembly, composed Of men clothed in
little brief authority" Never since
the. days of reconstruction have such
reckless drains been made upon the
public purse.
Reckless and ineXcuSable expendi-
ture, open disregard of the expressed
views of the people, a vast amount of
unnecessary and harmful legislation.
an unprecedented number of bills
killed, or buried forever, a vast num-
Der of wildcat" bills introduced for
the sake of nOtOTiety, a senate that
sought to annul the constitution of
the United States, a house that quar-
relied with itself, and IA governor of a
political stronghold; these are q few
OF the sins of omission and commits
sion of the legislative session of 1907.
The state will pay the bills. some
$4,000 for the maintenance Of the
legislature alone, and the taxpayers
of the state Will reach deep into their
pockets TO meet the great sums pro
vided 10 be expended during the next
two years.
Really. in view of the facts. we can
but remark, what fools these mOrtals
be-" and wonder when the people Of
Florida will tire OF this farce and de
mand of their public servants that
they administer the affairs of state in
Il sane and reasonable manner.-Or

The Gainesville Sun, in a recent is
sue. has the following to say of Pen
sacola's candidate for governor:
While Mr. Albert Jennings of Pen
sacola has not informally announced
ihis candidacy for governor, there is
not the least doubt that he will be
in the race. He says he is now too
busy with his personal affairs to en-
ter upon a campaign, but at the prop
er time, he intimates. he will an
nounce his candidacy and devote his
entire time personally to his cam
paign. He has ardent supporter
throughout the state, but is especial
ly strong in West Florida. which sec
ton, it is claimed by those in posi-
tion to know, he viii carry almost

corn. The protein of the corn is still unused, and this is always valuable for feeding purposes. There are those who believe that the by-products will pay all the expenses of manufacturing, and that therefore the price of alcohol would simply be the price of corn from which it is made and reasonable profit to the dealer. On this basis the value would be somewhere around 9 or 30 cents gallon.
 So much for the conditions in Mis- souri and the central west A Texas paper says the immense cactus fields of the southwest offer an inexhaustible supply of alcohol producing material, which, if true, would leave the price at practically the cost of manufacture, car riage, and profit. Even at that 75 cents a gallon would probably be below the selling price in interior Alaska for some time to come.
 If the consumption of alcohol should become considerable, however, it is reasonable to suppose that the supply for Alaska would be manufactured in Washington, Oregon or California-out of potatoes, grain or other suitable mate rial-at no greater first cost than that turned out in the corn belt Even then the cost in interior Alaska would be so high that it might be profitable to look around for some suitable material out of which to manufacture it at home.

 Five thousand people were sent to inn provised hospitals.
 The m ain shock lasted five minutes. Lesser shocks followed later. The dis turbance was felt sixty miles out at sea. Along the shore at Kingston, where the water was formerly shallow, it is now 100 feet deep and on Jan. 16 the city ap- peared to be slipping into the sea.
 After the disaster negroes broke into the rumshops and after being crazed with drink commenced to loot aud even to rob the dead. Several were shot
 Admiral Davis, of the United States fleet rendezvousing in Cuban waters, was ordered to Kingston to assist in preserving order. On the 18th he landed marines from the Missouri and Indiana. While the Missouri was anchored off the penitentiary the convicts mutinied and two shots were fired from the battleship, which quelled the disorder. Governor Sweetenham, of Jamaica, addressed q sharp note to the American admiral criticising his action in firing without authority Davis replied that the situ- ation demanded prompt action and he had done what his best judgment dicta- ted. Governor S@eetenham then re- quested the admiral to leave the harbor. Admiral Davis did so, notwithstanding people of all nationalties begged him to remain and ignore the governor, whom they denominated crazy. When the ad- miral sailed many people gathered on the waterfront and wept.

 From LarSen's Trumpet

Through the last mail Julius Rahms- tori received letter from Ed Larsen who left Rampant for the Chandlar last August, before the news of the purported strikes had been received. The letter was dated "Chandlar River, Dec. 27."
 It said mile and half of pay had been located on Big creek, and that the writer had secured ground out of which he expected to take his little pile
 It Is very probable that Mr. Larsen based his letter on conclusions arrived at before the freczeup.

Probable Cost
 Of Fuel Alcohol

Since the passage of the denatured- alcohol bill, which became a law Jan. l, there has been considerable speculation over the probable price of alcohol. A good many believe it will to a certain extent take the place of kerosene and gasoline in Alaska, as we'll as elsewhere, and that in places where fuel is scarce and dear-as in the Nome country, for instance-it may play an important part in tle industrial life of the territory.
 A Missouri paper says alcohol may be made from nearly every crop grown in the central west, but it is probable that only corn and possibly potatoes will be used for this purpose in the immediate future. The amount of alcohol that any substance will make depends upon the percentage of fermentable matter it con tains. In the case of corn this runs as high as 70 per cent. In other words, 39 pounds of iermentable material is ob- tained from bushcl of corn. In turn, it takes two pounds of icrmentable ma tcrial to make one pound of alcohol. Consequently a bushel of corn will make about l9 pounds of alcohol. The weight of q gallon of alcohol is pounds There fore, bushel of corn will make 2.7 gal- lonS pf ulrphol Al lD ceuts a hush.I therefore, the corn alone used in making 6-per-cent. industrial alcohol would cost practically l5 cents. lt is claimed that the eest oi manufacturing, storage. etc, will amount to n cents gallon, and II to this be added the profits of the manufacturer anal dealer it .is probabls. that alcohol will sell in the neighbor- hood oi lo cents pcr gallon. This takes ao account ot hyproducts that might result from manufacturing aleohol from

The January Quake.

The earthquake of Jan. 14 was gener- ally felt in tbe Panama River country.
 It seems to have been most distinct on. the Big Delta river, l50 miles from Fairbanks.
 At McDevitt's roadhousc on the Big Delta the shock lasted nearly two min utes, growing in intensity from slight rocking at the beginning until it had reached stage SO violent that the logs were cracked and the building thrown out of plumb.
 The Fairbanks Times of Jan. 26 had received no news of any disturbance on the southern slope ui the Alaska range.

QUAKES AGAIN
Fridays TremOr Felt Over a Big Territory...Great Havoc in West
 Indies Jan. l4.

Another shock of earthquake was felt in this section of Alaska Friday morn ing, Feb. s.
 It was little less severe than the one of Jan. II, but it is known to have eX tended over a wide extent of territory, and was accompanied by noise similar to and as distinct as that on the former occasion.
 The disturbance occurred about 6:30 o'clock and was of short duration.
 At Rampant the tremor was so slight that it was almost indistinguishable, ex- cept at the lower part of town, where it was more marked AtCaptain Mayo's residence the earth seemed to heave slightly and then settle, with percept ible trembling sensation at the end of the shock. John w. Duncan felt dis tinct quiver at his quarters just below the \. C. Co.'S store. 1t other places the quake was lighter.
 At 72 Roadhouse and at B, Big Mi nook, it was more pronounced, and on Little Minook it was severe enough to cause some alarm.
 Across the divide the disturbance was quite general. Max Neville, who came in from Omega, says the shock was quite severe on that creek.
 C. c. Clark, seven miles below The Rapids, told Mail Carrier Biederman on his trip from Panama that his cabin trembled and was thrown slightly off it's level
 So far as learned no damage has been done.
 Joe Minard, mail carrier between Rampant and Fort Hamlin, has heard nothing of an earthquake anywhere up the Yukon Clement Anderson, who came in from Ray River Hot Springs, says no shocks have been felt there
