 A good quality of peat is said to occur in the tundra ground along the Nome, Alaska, beach, Recent boiler tests have shown that 25 tons of the peat have a steam generating efficiency of 1 ton of imported coal.

 "With the approach of Christmas every person feels a gentle stimulation come over him." says the Wrangell Sentinel; by which we judge that the boys down at the Stickine town are starting in early on their Christmas jag
 The Alaska gold output this year, Alfred H. Brooks of the geological survey thinks, will be somewhere be- tween S1ZOOO,OOO and S18,OOO,OOO. This is from 3,OOO,OOO to S4,OOOOOO below the 1906 production, and is far less disap pointing than was expected only few weeks ago. The decrease is due almost entirely to labor strikes.
 Patrick O'Reilly, musher, was frozen to death on the night of October 15, while on his way from McCarty's to Donnelly's roadhouse on the Valdez trail. He encountered a violent snow storm and was compelled to stay out during the night in vain endeavor to reach shelter. The remains of the unfortunate man were found next day within mile of Donnelly's roadhouse. !

Clay Clement, an auCDOf duu pIdy- wright, has written drama of Alaska, which will be produced in a Seattle play The play reconnts the story of the early days along the great trail from Dyea to Dawson, up Chil- koot pass, down the chain of rivers and lakes through White Horse, Miles canyon and Five Finger rapids, and so to the Klondike, in the heyday of that camps rich glory. The first act is laid at the foot of Chilkoot pass in the "Golden North'' road house; the second at the summit of the pass; the third on Lake Labarge just at the breakup of the ice the fourth and last in the fowery land far up in the Arctic circle.
 The whaIers of the North Pacific aud Arctic oceans have made the largest and richest catch this season that has been known for number of years. The vessels have all returned laden with whalebOne, all of them touching at Unalaska for supplies and fuel. The whalers caught from five to twelve whales each, and as each fish is worth from 53,O0O to S12,000 it will easily be seen that the owners and seamen are very jubilant over the seasons catch. The Herman, Capt. Jas. H. Hilton, secured the largest catch, taking twelve valued at 815O,0O0. The bark Ballugs secured nine, Wm. Balls six, Karluk six, Belvedere six, Jenette five. The Bowhead which was reported some weeks ago caught nine. The total value of the catch this season will be over half million dollars Of this amount two thirds will go to the owners of the vessels and one third is divided among the sailors. Formerly the oil of the whale was saved as it was quite valuable, but of recent years other oils that are much cheaper have taken the place of whale oil. Whale bone brings large price in the market, having been quite scarce for the past few years.-EX.
 Lewis P. Shackleford, who headed the delegations walking out of the con- vention, interviewed, says: "The con- vention held here on the 14th was called by committee, John T. Spick cit. chairman. This committee, which was elected by Republican conven- tion for July IL, 1906, to nominate candidate for delegate. At that con- vention new territorial committee was elected. Spickett and other mem bers of his committee were not re- elected, therefore the convention this month is void, because it was called by committee not existing. "We did not bolt the convention; we simply at tended and gave notice of the invalid call, and walked out. The existing committee of which George Irving, of Ketchikan, is chairman, will not call the convention until the national con vention notifies us of Alaska's appor- tionment. It is quite probable the Irving committee will call the conven- tion next spring. All Southeastern Alaska precincts except Ketchikan, Skagway, Haines and Gypsum joined in the walkout, as also did all the Yu kon valley except the incorporated town of Fairbanks. This convention called in the spring will go ahead and elect delegates in accordance with the and send them to the national convention as the regularly elected delegation. The other delega tion can do the contesting."

The recent movement of the Guggen heim- Morgan. Hill com bination in. dicates that this gigantic trust is soon to control all means of transportation to Alaska and in Alaska This means that competitian will be at an end and Alaska wilt he at the mercy of the big trust if the latter is disposed to take advantage of it's position.-EX.

 The news of the appointment of Silas Reed, an Oklahoma man and an entire stranger here, to the position of judge of the Third division, has created con- sternation among the federal office holders says a Valdez special. Many of the commissioners and other officials who are appointed by the judge of this district are alarmed over the prob ability of Judge Reed bringing political friends from Oklahoma to fill the numerous Alaskan offices, and some of them are trying to forestall such a move by circulating petitions among the citizens praying that they be re- tained in office. Commissioner Lyons, who has held his position longer than any commissioner in Alaska, now has petition out asking Judge Reed to re- tain him in the office at Valdez It is understood that counter petition will be circulated by some who were dis satisfied with the manner in which Judge Lyons handled the preliminary hearing of the men accused of the kill ing of railway laborers in Keystone canyon recently.
 Some of the salmon fishermen are putting up a howl about the wholesale use of herring for the manufacture of guano. And they have just cause for complaint. At Killisnoo the herring fisherman take as high as six hundred barrels of these little fish at one haul of seine. Just stop and think what this will amount to if allowed to con- tinue. It means that with each sue ceeding year the favorite food of the salmon become scarcer, and that with in comparatively short space of time the salmon will have to choose another habitat than the waters of Alaska, and one of the greatest industries of the territory will become an item of history. Thousands of employees will thus be thrown out of employment at the can neries-an enormous sacrifice to the greed of one or two small concerns. Excellent fertilizer can be made from seaweed, of which there is an exhaust less supply; and if the management of the various fish guano manufactorles would apply the rule of Give and let live" and turn their attention to sea weed for raw material, conditions would be greatly improved and the future brighter. Otherwise the de. partment of the federal government which has charge of the fishing in dustry should be asked to act in the matter, and, if it was any other country than Alaska, we believe the depart ment would have acted already Wrangell Sentinel.

FOUR TIER 112) STRAIGHT.

by Is, but to accommodate certain APP
pies 81 special box is used which is
longer and a trihe narrower, being 10
by IL by. 20. These are all inside meas
urements. Experience has shown that
as regards thickness of material the
three-quarter inch is the best for ends,
three-eighthS for sides and one-quarter
for top and bottom.
In speaking of the styles of pack the
trade in general understands the packs
only when designated as straight or
diagonal. Many people prefer to desig-
nate the packs as three, three and one
half, four, four and One-half or five
tier
In the straight pack the rows run
straight across the box, parallel to the
edges. This pack includes all the three.
four and five tier apples. The straight
pack is very neat in appearance, but it
is rather severe on the fruit. as each
apple tends to be pressed firmly
against surrounding apples rather than
into the spaces. Some packers place
the apple on its side. others pack with
the stems up, while some have the
calyx up. The best packs should al
ways have the bottom and top layers
with stems toward the outside. In this
way the apples do not tend to bruise
as badly.
The four tier consists of four rows
across the top and four deep, includ
ing the 90 (six tiers long,, the 12S
eight tiers long, and the 112 (seven
tiers long,.
The diagonal pack, or diamond pack,
as it is often called, is SO termed be-
cause the rows run diagonally with
the edge of the box. Its chief advan-
tage is that it accommodates sizes that
do not adapt themselves readily to the
straight pack, although in some cases
we find that the diagonal contains the
same number of apples as certain
straight packs. The diagonal pack con-
tains the half tiers, such as three and
one-half and four and One-half. One
of the advantages of the diagonal pack
is that it allows the apples to adjust
themselves more readily to the space

b,c2psd Notice and Deportation Ivy
Landing in America In a Barrel.
LYMAN Mosowvitch, a Russian Jew
who fed to America from the outrages
in his country, has had the unique ex-
perience of landing on the shores Of
America nailed in a light barrel, says
a Waterbury Conn., special dispatch
to the New York Times. Mosowvitch
left his country rather suddenly and
while on his way to the United States
met with an accident in which he lost
an eye. He was informed that he
would be depOrted.
Mosowvitch called his friends togeth-
er, and a sum of money was made up
and offered to one of the petty officers
of the crew to land the man. The Of
f1cer, knowing the circumstances, pre-
pared a barrel, and as the steamer
was plying New York bay boat was
lowered containing a barrel in which
Mosowvitch was safely slowed away.
The sailors pulled in on the Hobo
ken shore and rolled the barrel off. A
few days later Mosowvitch appeared
in Waterbury. Conn, where his friends
were wondering about his safety.
On the same vessel with Moscow
witch was Max Goldman, who was in
formed that he would not be allowed
to land because of his defective eyes.
lie would not take q chance in the bar
rel. however, and was promptly de-
ported.

nzed belonging government and sovereignty OF the
states
1t has been than suggested that this enlargement of federal
should take place the result of judicial action and that BY
of those subtle renements of which the human mind always
capable and to which human language always amenabe
create and AGGANDIZE national government that would strip
the states of much of their reserved sovereignty

The danger of this cetrazng sentiment IS that appeals to the
sefhne of human and the Willingness be relieved OF the

does favor the exchange Of self governed communities and the
