Bertha From
 the Iliannna

Steamer Bertha arrived from the west this morning at o'clock, hav- ing been as far as Iliamna. She took several large mining outfits to the Iliamna country, whose mineral pos abilities are highly encouraging, and are now being developed.
 One of the great properties of that district is on Lake Clark. A mining engineer named Code, in his younger days known in sporting circles as Stanford university's star quarter back, visited the district last summer and acquired slice of the big bonan- ga. During the winter he bonded a majority interest in the property to the TGoadwell people, who will thor oughly exploit the big copper deposit next season, and if they are satisfied with the results obtained, will put in a railroad to transport the ore to the coast.
 C.. B. Millet, Harry Hicks and other Iliamna men now in Valdez, are con- v;ilced, after several years spent in that region, that the Iliamna country will rapidly forge to the front as one of the big producers of Alaska. The mineral is there in it's native state, they say. Much has been found and located, and the country has been scarcely scratched. All that is now needed is capital to develop these self-eVident mines.

Some one remarked lately GA man cannot get in at the Good Samaritan Hospital unless he can pay the price," The man was ignorant of the facts. That the the public may know the facts, we publish them in the case of Roger Meehan, the last instance of the hospitals free service. When an officer of the hospital was taken to see Meehan, who was in desperate state, ard told "he is without friends and money, ,"there was no debate, but an instant order that he should be taken to the hospital to try and save his life. When there, extra service was needed, and night watch was hired. When he died the hospital, in the person of one of it's officers, be- came responsible for his decent burial, and assumed the task of begging money Ca job which is not altogether pleasant, but which is made so by the willing and generous response of Val dez peoDle). Our doctors, for human ity's~salxe, give their services in time of need, and the hospital stands with them to second and support them. A hospital must have money to pay it's bills, and the natural parties to SUD- ply this money gre the patients them selves, or their friends. Whenever the hospital earns a penny in excess of it's expenses, such earnings go in to repairs and Improvements. The sal aries of nurses are paid from New York so that tho hopsital has never had to earn it's largest one item of expense.
 Such service as was given to Mee- han no money could compensate. Nothing but Christian consecration and human sympathy would induce a doctor and lady to do for him what was done during his few days rest at the Good Samaritan. This case of charity cost the hospital very little, but there has recently been dis charged man whose bill should be $225. .00swho paid nothing for services and board.

The agitation over the continuing OF
basketball under the supervision OF the
University Athletic Association has
raised an unusual amount OF discussion
at Georgetown.
The student body is about equally d.
vided over the question. In 1907 basket
ball was an experiment at the local
school and was run by Manager Stuart
independent Of the association. The
season brought small financial success.
This season the sport was fostered by
the athletic association, and the loss
met with ran into the hundreds Of dol
lars. Now three or four members Of
the executive board have voiced the
opinion that basketball should be put
back on its former basis and not made
major sport at the next meeting Of
the association.
They argue that the losses sustained
this year do not warrant official reeog-
milton on the part Of the association.

favor OF awarding the players Of this

collegiate title, and later made such a
