If the Bible is the work of God,

If the Bible is the work of God, :, as has been generally contended, :, the Territory of Alaska was evil Qently overlooked when 1t was taught us that "The Laborer is worthy of his Hire" Either that or recent firm doing business as Gardner < Jones, believe not in it's teachings.
 It has been heraled broadcast that this concern was to distribute 30 tons of freight along the trail and after such distribution, employ labor to drive 100 head of cattle into Fairbanks,
 Think of the vast benefit to Valdez-But Lowl this concern sought abor and offered tabor the sum of One dollar per day. Of all unmitigated cheek, this caps the climax.
 The enterprising laborer comes to Alaska for 9 financial better ment, he leaves his wife and child and all that is dear to him, hoping that in such a sacrifice he may offer them greater comfort. In no country where such sacrifice is necessary, has the employer had the nerve, gall or audacity to offer such a compensation. Alaska seeks not such enterprises, and labor for it's own protection should shun such employment as it would a Vampire A. H. MIRRIIL.

A Credit To The Town.

The new office for the Seattle hotel IS now completed and presents a most metropolitan ap- pearance. All the comforts and conveniences of the most up-to- date hotel in the States have been installed in the Seattle, and that the superior service is appreciated is evidenced by every room being occupied.
 There are now accommodation in the building for 85 guests, and as soon as the snow leaves an ad- dition containing fifty more rooms will be erected, Plans have been drawn and material ordered for the new addition.
 Fred Wilson, who is in charge of the hotel, has been iu the same business in New York and vicinity for fifteen years and understands thoroughly the requisites of pop ular hosteIry. No expense will be spared by the firm of Cobb x Vii son in making this one of the best hotels Tn Alaska.

The outfit for the Alaska Brem

The outfit for the Alaska Brem- ner Mining Co.,, a concern incorpo- rated last year by the same people as are interested in the Alaska Amalgamated Co.,, is now all on the Tasnuna summit. enroute to the Bremner, where the company owns IS placer claims.
 George Davison. who has charge of the outfit this summer, states that 1t is his intention to open up the property and prepare for work ing the ground either by hydraulic or dredge, as they find will be most advanta geous. Fourteen men will be employed on this work all sum- mer.
 This placer property consists of IS claims on tributary of the BremneI, twelve miles from the Copper river. These claims were located last summer and are on the same stream as the ground taken up by John Van Iderstine.

Ackley, Feb. 19.-f the jury in the
Thaw case is composed Of men having
as many different opinions, concerning
the unwritten law and insanity as have

sumo that the jury will disagree. It's

The compromise offered by the rail-
roads of a 1a-cent fare and a 500-mile
family book, in the few towns the
writer has been since it was offered,
seems to be favorably received. But
the public will demand that a 500-mile
book shall be good on all railroads and
shall he issued and sold for $40, this
to be part and parcel of the compro-
mise. Furthermore there is general
demand that this 500-mile book shall
be good for bearer, thus making it
good for any one presenting. it. And
our senator's, If they amend the 2-cent
bill passed by the house, will do well
to include the above provisions in the

amended bill. In fact 1t would be
good stroke Of policy for the railroads
themselves to amend Carroll Wright's
offer to include these two features.
l. IT Is strange railroad officials are
such a blind lot of men. Their en-
ployes are every day and hour thrown
in contact with the people, and know
all of "the kicks comm" Why don't
they do something before they are
forced to by public opinion. Here's a
case only too common in Iowa. The
town OF x, where the writer was the
other day. Is on only one line OF rail-
road. The elevators are full, corn cribs
are full, and coal bins empty Fof
several days no empty cars were left
there. and one little manufacturing
plant was almost out of fuel. Business
was at a standstill And all this was
a general subject OF conversation. 1t
was also generally stated that the town
of Y---onIy eight miles away, but a
town on two lines of railroad---was
getting "empties," this off the same
railroad that could not furnish the
town Of X. Some men claimed to know
that 'empties" were hauled right thru
the town of X and given to the town
of Y. And farmers came in and told
the elevatormen OF x that they could
sell their grain In Y and dealers there
got cars. One elevator man told the
writer that he knew the junction town
was getting 'empties" for this winter;
he had lost $4,000 worth of trade that
went to the junction town, because
they could get cars and he couldn't.
And yet the railroad officials wonder
the people are SO camorous for de-
murrage law.
All travellers are cross and ugly
these days of late trains. But new
feature was added to the cross bearing

day In the depot at Nextown. The

victed at the October term, 1904, OF the
offense of burglary, and sentenced to

was granted to enable the applicant to

The first two are typical. They rep
resent nine tenths of the other cases
from other counties and give the same
plain reasons. The petitions for Glenn
ency came up to the governors man
sion signed by the trial judges. the
sheriffs, chiefs of police. county attor-
neys. and numbers of citizens"
They knew the men and the circum-
stances. Who should be better capable
OF judging the character and likelihood
Of reform than the convicts own
neighbors? Who should know the cir
cumstances, ameliorative or condem-
natory, that group about every case
better than the Judges who dellberated
and sentenced, the attorneys who pros
ecuted, and the police officers who ran
the accused down?
Herein lies the gist of the matter.
Back OF every parole, pardon and COM
mutation is the appeal of the public
and its officers elected TO defend the
peace and welfare of the common
wealth. Let every man who has signed
a petition for clemency search his own
heart before he cries out against the
free exercise Of the pardoning power"
The influence that secures official SYM

courts and communities that con-
demned him.

SOME ODDITIES IN OUR EXPORTS.

The ebb and flow of the commerce Of
the United States presents some curl
Gus facts statistical and commercial.
These are the more readily observed by
certain figures compiled by the bureau
of statistics of the department of COM
merce and labor and made. part of Its
monthly summary OF commerce and
finance covering the calendar year
1905.
It is interesting to observe, for ex-
ample, that while the imports of au-
tomobiles during the year 1906 amount
ed to nearly million dollars in value,
this figure was practically offset by the
exports Of automobiles, which amount
ed in value to $4409,1S6. Curiously,
too, of this Az million dollars worth
Of automobiles exported, over million
dollars worth went to that great man
ufacturing country, the United King
dom, and practically another million
dollars worth to other manufacturing
countries of Europe. The tropical sec
lions of the world, where horses can
not satisfactorily perform the service
large purchasers Of American auto
mobiles, the total exports of this class
Of vehicles to Mexico having been in
1906, $717,52S, while the West Indies
and Bermuda took $241,00O worth,
South America $4,000, Australia
nearly nearly 100000, and even the
British East Indies s34,111 worth.
Another curious feature of our for
eign commerce is found in the fact
that altho the United States produces
half of the worlds copper and ex-
ports far more than any other country,
Of that commodity. The value Of cop
per imported into the United States in
1906 was over 81 million dollars, in
Guiding in this total 6A million dollars
worth of copper ore, while we were at
the same time exporting over 80 mill
lion dollars worth of that metal.
Another curious and somewhat sur
prising feature of our commerce is
found in the fact that the United
States, which produces three-fourths Of
the worlds cotton, actually imported
last year from other countries nearly
II million dollars worth Of raw cotton,
to say nothing of cotton waste valued
at over 1 million dollars, making the
average importation of cotton into the
greatest cotton producing country in
the world about $1,0OO,00O worth per
month. The cotton so imported is,
however, in most cases, of a different
quality from that produced in the
United States, being chiefly Egyptian
cotton, of which the long and silky
fiber is utilized in the manufacture of
high grade cottons and in some cases
for mixing with silk in manufactur
ing.
One would scarcely expect to see the
United States including coffee in its
statements of the exports of domestic
products, but the bureau Of statistics
in its statements Of exports of domes-
tic products includes 31,51s,494 pounds
of green or raw coffee, valued at s3,-
S7O.5s2. This apparent curiosity, OF
the expectation from the United States
Of such large quantity Of green COT

PAROLES AND THE PEOPLE.

One OF the interesting pamphlets re-
Gently issued from the office of the
state printer is the report by the gov
ernor of Iowa Of pardons, suspensions
and combinations Of sentence and re-
mission of fines" during the year just
past. Every citizen should read 1t
carefully. It is a report in brief of the
separate cases that have come before
the executive for clemency and have
received it. incidentally, even the cas-
ual reader will not fail in this concise
report of facts bearing upon the parole
or Communication of every one, and of
the particular prisoners of whom he
has personal knowledge to find the
reason for nine.tentlls Of the paroles
from the state house. Let us take three
Marshall county cases:
William C. Kidder, Marshall county.
Convicted at the Aug ust term, 1905, of
the offense of larceny from building,
and sentenced to serve term of three
years in the penitentiary. The trial
judge wrote as follows: II do not
know what to recommend, but l have
no objection to his parole. Think if 1
were the governor / would parole him
and try him. The county attorney
wrote: 81 have no personal objection
to the granting of a parole in this
case" Clemency was recommended by
the mayor and the chief of police of
Marshalltown; by two deputy sheriffs
and by twenty seven citizens who
signed petition, and by four profess
sional men who wrote personal letters
urging clemency in his behalf. Sem
tence suspended June 25. 1906.
Charles NJ. Propst, Marshall county.
Convicted at the August term, 1904. Of
