ABOUT GOLD PRODUCTION

When Gov. Roggatt made thai famous Ketchihan speech, which the tories hailed as a ringing declaration that would. like Lincoln's Getlsburg speech and others, go wlnging down the ages,the Daily Alaskan said that he had beep unfair in his statement with refer ence to the amount of Alasks's gold output and particularly unfair in what he said of it's distribution. Re had nIsced the total at sl3,O0O,Ooo, distri- bu,ed equally among the three judicial divisions. The Daily Alaskan quoted figures showing the output would s1- ceed s2N,OOO, 100, though it admitted that Gov. Hoggatt's estimate for South eastern Alaska vas too high by about $l,OOO,OOO.
 Friends of the governor ridiculed the Daily Alaskau's estimate. They point ed to the estimate of the road commis- sion which placed it af $l7,OoO, 900. This was accepted by Walter Clark in the write up he gave Alaska in the Seattle Post Iutelligencer, and New York Commercial. The Daily Alaskan refused to reduce it's figures. It con tended that the output would be nearer s2l .Oo0. .o0a than goo O,OOO, an amount i, fixed upon ia a spirit of extreme con- serva,ism.
 The director of the mint has male aD estimate. basing it upon statistics from the Seattle assay office, the San Fracis- co miAt. the Alaskan custom houses, express companies and banks. He places the output at s2l 25O,OOO. The estimate Of the director of the mint is always accepted as final on a question of gold production.
 Gov. Hoggatt was 30 per cent. too high iu his estimate of the Souteastern Alaskan on, put but 10 per cent. too low o1 the total production.

HIS LIFE
Waskey's Record as he
 Wrote it

Hon. Frank H. Waskey is modest aud direct if we are to judge him by the record of his life ss he wrote it for the congressional directory. Here is what our delegate to congress wrote of himself that future generations might read it:
 Frank Hinman Waskey, democrat, of Nome, was born April 20, JoI5, at Lake city, Wabasha County, Minn.; received a public school education, graduating from the Minneapolis high school; went to Alaska in 1898, and engaged in mining; was married August 10, 1904, to Miss Edna Blodgett, of Ballard, King county, Wash; was nominated on the Alaska ticket for delegate to tue Fiity-ninth congress, and elected August II, 1906, receiving 4,s4s votes to 2,252 for c. D. Murane, republican; l,5Sl for A. P. Swinetord, democrat, and 209 scattering. TEe Alaska ticket received the endorsement of the republicans and democrats in the third judicial division aud ot the democrats in the second. Murane was nominated by the republicans of the first and second judicial divisions and Swineford by the democrats of the first division. Party lines were not ob. served in the vOtiug.'

The attorney engaged to represent the negro troops who were dismissed by President Roosevelt confesses the weakness of his contention that the act of the president was illegal when he says he will not invoke the aid of the courts unless all other remedies fail. If he has a good case he should invoke the aid of courts frss of all. That is the remedy for the redress of wrongs the American government places in the hands of every citizen.

A TRAINED ROOSTER.

Dick is the pet name for a trained rooster that is the proud possession of H. Reid, of 16th and Pine streets, Dick has had an intresting and an original history for a rooster. Two years ago he was just tiny chick, confined with dozens of his fellows in an ignomi- nious wooden pen on stall of Mark ct street poultry vendor, and Mrs. Read noticing his spirited appearance, pur- chased him and took him into the house as pet. Dick stood the pet ting system so well that he grew very tame, and did all sorts of stunts that are not supposed to be within the na- ture of chickens. Now he is as docile as pet dog, follows his master around and crows from the shoulders of the male members of the family. Only when very much provoked does he apply his long spurs as a means of defence. From the time when he was taken from his coop in Market street Dick has never seen one of his own kind. He has associated with cats, dogs, mice and humans, but never. with chickens. Now, as "a special treat for him and a part of his education, and just to see what Dick will do, MT. Read proposes on some clear Sunday to, take him to a farm of relative near the city and set the much petted bird down among num- bers of other barnyard fowls. -Phila- delphia Record. 3AtG

 FRS,


 After long wait there was a rustic and stir of expectancy over the vast assemblage, then breatf1less stiffness, when all eyes strained toward the eastern door, through which entered the gorgeous procession. The Palatine, Guard lined the way down the central aisle, some of the Swiss Guard being stationed at different points. First came the Guardia, Mobile, then the mil tired abbots, the bishops and arch bishops in copes and mitres of white and gold, the patriarchs and cardinals these latter iwth long capes of cloth of gold worn over their scarlet robes. Then came the canons and monsignori in lace and fur tippets, after them the prince in attendance or the Papal throne. Don Hippo Orsini, followed by the secret cilamberains bearing the precious tirars and mitres, covered with gold and jewels. The triple crown, borne upon a cushion, was blaze of the most brilliant jewels, diamonds, elneralds and rubies, too heavy in it's richness to be borne long by an nor tai head.

DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to
 Shooters of Arrows.

Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to Shooters of Arrows.
 The expression drawing long bow" does not of necessity mean the telling of a falsehood, It sometimes refers to wonderful story, which may be true enough but which is so marvellous as to require firm trust in the yeracity of the narrator to enable the nearer to believe it. Some of the longest bows | of this sort have been drawn about ; bows and arrows.
 These stories began long ago. Virgil in the "Eneid,' tells of four archers who were shooting for a prize. the mark being pigeon tied by a cord to the mast of a ship The first man hit the mast, the second cut the cord, and the third shot the pigeon as it flew away. The fourth archer, having noth- ing left to shoot, drew his bow and sent his arrow flying toward the sky with such speed that the friction of the air set the feathers on fire, and it swept on, like a meteor, to disappear in the clouds
