Singuarly enough, however, while President Roosevelt believes that the people of Porto Rico should have a larger measure of self-government than they now have, it is reported from Washington that he does not believe that the people of Alaska should have any measure of local f-goyernment at all. The Porto Ricans have had their sole experience in democracy since the Spanish war. The people of Alaska are, in the great mass, Ameri- cans who have always exercised the privilege of self-goyerning citizenship up to the time of their migration to Alaska, to conquer new empire for the country. It is quite difficult to understand what constitutes the sub stantial objection to self.government in Alaska, which oyerrides principle and precedent and sets apart the pio- neers of that great territory as incapa- ble of exercising privileges, or rather rights, which are freely accorded all other people who are under the pro- lection of the American flag, save those of Guam and Tutuilla alone.-Seattle P-I.

Mrs. Emma l. Barr, the female wom- an who is attempting to stick her dila- ted nose into the puddle of Alaska legislation, handed out the following dope to the people of Nome: 1t is a great pleasure to be in this progressive town. The saloons here are respect able. There is little drunkenness. There is every sign of order and sobri. ty. Vice itself does not Haunt in open daylight nor brush skirts with modesty, as it does in Juneau, Ketchikan, Doug las and Fairbanks. In those places women are admitted to the saloons and sit there in broad daylight at the tables patent to the eye of every pass erby. The little newsboys are brought up in such scenes as those. The little newsgirls-for the girls have taken to selling newspapers in those cities-are corrupted from their very infancy. Vice is bold and daring in Southeast ern Alaska. It is a marvel to me to see the decency and order that prevail here. It may be that there is evil here. do not doubt it. But great step has been gained when it is not open to the public gaze and dare not parade itself to the hurt of the respectable"

The story is told of young lady in Ketchikan who stepped into a drug store recently and asked how to take a dose of castor oil without tasting 1t. The clerk fooled around a while and then asked her if she'd like a glass of lemonade. Of course she would. He then wanted to know if she had tasted the oil. "Heavens, no" she exclaimed, "did you put it in the lemonade?" He told her he had. "Oh LordT' she said, "I wanted it for my mother"

recommendations

Important recommendation for river and harbor work in Alaska have been made by the rivers and harbors committee and this years bill will probably authorize a survey of Dry straits, with the view of improving this route as an alternative channel to be used instead of Wrangel narrows. One of the most important projects ever contemplated for waterway improve ment in Alaska has been favorably re- ported by Captain G. B. Pillsbury, of the corps of engineers, and has been indorsed by Gen. Mackenzie, chief of engineers. The report, with Gen. Mac kenzie's indorsement was sent to con- gress giving the results of the prelim- mary survey of the proposed canal to connect St. Michael with the Yukon river. The construction of this canal would obviate the hazardous voyages across Boring sea between St. Michael and the mouth of the Yukon and the scheme has been urged for years by commercial interests. Gen. Macken- zie's indorsement of the report is as follows: "The entire supply of the in- terior of Alaska is carried by boats ply ing on the Yukon river. The only known available point where merchan- disc can be transported from seagoing vessels to river boats is at St. Michael The object of the improvement con templated is to provide the smaller boats more protected navigation be- tween St. Michael and the mouth of the Yukon river, about seventy miles. "Capt. Pillsbury estimates that chan nel six feet deep and 100 feet wide can be secured through St. Michael canal at a cost of s24S,O00.

The detailed study of the geology of that portion of the Nome region rep resented on the Nome and Grand Gen. tral maps, which was begun by Frank l.. Hess and Fred H. Mofit, of the United States geological survey, in 1905, was continued during the season of 1906 by Mir. Mofht and Phillips. Smith. This is the first detailed work under taken by the survey in Alaska, and has as it's object study of the bed rock source of the placer gold and the pro- eesses and conditions under which it reached it's present distribution in the gravels. Owing to the very unfavor- able climatic conditions during the season of 1905, it was only possible to complete the work in that portion of the area to the west of the Nome river. During the summer of 1906, however, the weather was unusually favorable for geologic study, and it was possible to finish the field work of the two quadrangles as we'll as to make study of some adjacent areas, more especially that region to the north of the Grand Central quadrangle and east of Mount Osborn. The workings on the Nome tundra were also visited by Mir. Mottit, while Mir. Smith made short visit to the Council, Solomon and Casadepaga regions to ascertain the progress made there, during the summer, in mining operations. The remarkable discover ies made on Little creek during the winter, of 1904-5 led to very active prospecting on the tundra last winter. The result was an extension of the workings along this old beach line ID which the Little creek diggings are found as far east as Mcdonald creek, a distance of about five miles. Pros pecting on the tundra was continued through the summer and was carried on chiefly by means of drills. With the exception of operations on Glacier and Anvil creeks and at the head of Exeter creek, mining in the Nome region, during 1906, was almost re- stricted to exploitation of tundra gravels. This condition can hardly ex- ist for any considerable length of time, however, and when the excitement over beach deposits is past, there will be, a return to the earlier-found stream de- posits. The absence of rain during the summer. occasioned scarcity of water which was less severe than would have been the case if it had not been for the supply drawn from the Miocene ditch and other ditches more recently con structed. The gold production of Seward peninsula, most of which comes from the Nome region, was greater during the past season that it has been in any previous year

FirSt-ClaSS Entertainment.

The entertainment of Prof. X. La
Rue at Beams Opera House last Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday nights was
one of The best ever pulled off in Hart
ford. Prof. LaRue is an accomplish
ed hypnotist, being able to exert his
seeming supernatural power over most
anyone. His subjects were boys and
young men of Hartford who. volun-
teered themselves in order to eXpe-
rience the Professors hypnotic power.
While the boys were under the hyp-
MOTTO influence, or hypnotized they
were directed to close their eyes and
in an instant they were requested to
open them but try as hard as they
might they could not. They were
made 10 sleep, to witness a down.
pour of rain, they were made to see
grapes growing in mid air, delicious
ripe strawberries on the bare floor.
The audience was seen by them seat
ed on the ceiling of the hall in
stead of the floor; few saw Teddy
Bear" in abundance on the stage and
several of the boys saw white rabbits
in countless numbers playing at their
feet. A number of the boys were
placed in row and asked what their
favorite drink was. On receiving their
answer, Prof. LaRue would hand them
dipper of water and they would drink
it with an air of delight and satisfac-
ton. In this way the boys thought
they drank from the same bucket de-
licious lemonade, orangeade, grape
juice, port wine, coka cola and sweet
milk. These are only few of the
remarkable Authorizations optical IL
lusions, and palatalizations which the
boys experienced.
