THE DOG LAW.

Judge Fuller has decided that the poundmaster may not seize a dog un- less the animal has been suffered by it's master to run al large. No doubt the judge believed that such a de- cision would result in eliminating many of the causes of complaints which are constantly being made against the of fcial. of course, it is hardly fair that a man should be made to suffer because his dog escapes without the owners knowledge, but the decision will give rise to much litigation. Many of those who have been looking for some means to beat the ordinance have had a wea- pon placed in their hands and undoubt- edly more will be heard from them
 The decision seems. however. to be the only common sense one possible under the circumstances. It will pro- vide a man with an escape from injus- tice innocently committed
 The ordinance was upheld by his homer, and nothing but what seemed to him to be an unjust portion of it was affected.

the purchaser from him should be i'm dicted and imprisoned for so doing.
 What congress should do at the pres ent session. in order to permit the coal resources of Alaska to be developed, is to pass legislation sufficiently definite and certain in its language that it may not be mnuncd by executive action or render any one who seeks to take legitimate advantage of it subject to prosecution. The owner of patented coal lands should have the right to sell them or to put theim into cor poration in which he is one of the stockholders. or do anything with them. in short, which will facilitate their development and the supplying of the market with coal which is imperative ly needed, without executive interfer- ence so long as he complies literally and exactly with the law. in it's intent and meaning.
 Congress attempted to provide a manner in which coal lands in Alaska could be entered and developed The action of congress has been practically annulled, since it was taken, and the coal fields of Alaska yet await devel- opment. Had they been developed. as congress anticipated that they would be, there would have been no further fear of any coal shortage on the Pa cific coast; coal users would have se- cured all need for domestic consump- tion at a very much lower price than they can now, and the government would have been enabled to save the hundreds of thousands of dollars which it will cost to send coal for naval use around the Horn from the Atlantic If congress will amend the coal land laws applicable in Alaska. in the manner suggested, no such conditions will ever again be found on this coast

ALASKA COAL LAWS.

The government is chartering a large number of foreign vessels and sendino out to the Pacific for the use of it's battleship fleet many thousands tons of coal; while in Alaska in close prox- imity to tide water. are thousands of acres of fine coal lands. the coal of which. on laboratory tests. has proved fully equal to the best Pocahontas. the standard coal for naval use in this country. But the coal lands of Alaska are not as yet developed. They are not developed because. for one thing a considerable share of them are under reservation, the reservations having been made because the administration does not approve of coal lands passing into private ownership. and therefore has concluded that the congress was improvident in passing laws for that purpose. and that such laws should be rendered Imperative For another thing. the interpretation put on the existing laws by the department of the interior, is such. as Mir. Garfield him self has said, as to rend' F man who undertakes to acquire coal lands suf- iicient to pay for opening mine there on subject to criminal prosecution by the government. and Mir. Garfield has given it distinctly to be understood that criminal prosecutions will follow in case any such attempts are made.
 The department holds. in short. that any man who undertakes to sell any coal land which he has purchased un- der the coal land laws is guilty of a criminal offense and that both he and

NOT READY
 FOR
 HOME RULE

SEATTLE. Nov. 1.-John Roman. of
 Fairbanks a prominent mining oper- ator. who was a candidate for dele gate to congress from Alaska in the convention that nominated Thomas Gale. and is urged by a contingent of Northerners to become candidate at the next election, suggests the division of Alaska into three legislative dis tricts for the purpose of self-govern- ment. Mir. Roman recently came out of Alaska for the winter
 "I do not believe that general ter torial form of government for Alaska will be practicable for many years" said Mir. Roman last night While there is d strong sentiment or home govern ment there is some diversity of opin- ion as to how this should be establish ed. Because of the magnificent dis tances between important places in AL aska the assembling of legislature would be q difficult matter.
 "I believe that if Alaska were divid- ed into three districts, each with its own council, the ends sought could be attained Fairbanks. Nome and Juneau might be made the capitals of the dis tricts. where the councils would sit to pass laws. The veto power could be vested in the governor and the result would be fully as satisfactory as if the three councils assembled as one body.
 T have considered that there might be a difference in the laws passed by the three councils. That need not be q dra back The differences would be no greater than those existing between states. And it must be remembered that Fairbanks and Nome and Juneau are good ways apart. There is good deal of quartz mining about Ju- neau. and the mining at Fairbanks and Nome is placer A diversity of the laws might be good thing.

''Our little girl, n year and a AZ

some tablets and said She would be all

He said she was teething. as room ~
the teeth were through she would be-
all right. But she still grew worse.
Doctor No. 3 said it was eczema. BY
this time she was nothing but a yellow.
greeuish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try It about
q week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow plmple on one Of her
eyes. OF course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked e
over. and said that he could not do
anything more for her, that we had
better take her to some eye specialist,
since it was an ulcer. So we went to

thought we would Try the Cuticura

a set Of Cuticura Remediea, which cost

who had been sick about eight months
showed great Improvement. and In one
week all sores had disappeared. OF

FRANKLIN FUND IS $411, ,OOO
Question of Disposition of Famous Budget Puzzles Members of Boston Board.

By codicil to his will, dated in 1789, Benjamin Franklin left $5,000 to the town of Boston, the fund to be managed by the select men and the pastors of three churches. The money was to be loaned in small sums at five per cent. to young married artificers who had served an apprenticeship in the town, for whom two respon. sible citizens would become sure. ties.
 By adding interest to principal it was estimated that in a century he fund would amount to $655, ,000. Of this $50O,000 was to be used ln works of general utility and the re- mainder used as in the original be. quest.
 At the end of the second century the sum was expected to amount to $2O, 1905, ,0OO, of which $5,3O5, 10000 was to be at the disposal of the town and the remainder to go to the state.
 When Bosom became a city the aldermen acted on the theory that they could officiate in place of the selectmen, and some years ago were preparing to spend a great deal of money. The case went into court and it was decided that the aldermen had no authority to act. A new board has accordingly been constituted and has been giving hearings to determine how the money is to be expended.
 An interesting feature of this case is the failure of the fund to realize expectations in the way of growth.
 At the end of the first century it was less than $4OO,OOO. Young artificers were not so anxious to borrow money at five per cent. as was expected, not more than 400 loans of that sort having been made. Other investments were made, however, and the growth of the fund was considerable. It now amounts to $411,S47.6S in cash de. posted in single bank.
 The question what to do with it naturally attracts good deal of attention. Under the will it may be expended in any sort of public works calculated to make living in the city more convenient to it's people or attractive to strangers.
