Forestry

Many people in this country think that forestry had never been tried un- til the government began to practice it upon the national forests. Yet for estry is practiced in every civilized country in the world except China and Turkey. It gets results which can be gotten in no other way, and which are necessary to the general welfare.
 What forestry has done abroad is the strongest proof of what it can accom- plish here. The remarkable success of forest management in the civilized countries of Europe and Asia is the most forcible argument which can be brought in support of wise forest use in the United States.-P. l

Light Pack In Alaska

T. c. McHugh, president and man. ager of the Pillar Bay Packing Con- pany, of Wrangell, Southeastern Alas ka, estimates that the total salmon pack of Southeastern Alaska, including all sraGaS, for the season of 1908, will be approximately 75O,OOO cases, of which number he estimates the pack of Alaska reds at 100000.
 "A light salmon packing season on the Sound generally indicates light Alaska pack, " said Mir. McHugh, "with the possible exception of humpbacks. From all past records on the Sound the pack here will be light, and the same will necessarily be true of the South eastern Alaska pack. The total pack will be about 100000 cases, according to all indications, and it is not safe to estimate that more than one-third of this number will be Alaska reds.-P.I.

Stranded in YaIic Bay

Professors Stevens and Carter from the University of oklahoma, who are in Alaska seeking specimens for the university, are now stranded on the shore of Yalic bay. They went down there under the conduct of Han sen in the "Black Maria" While the boat was tied to the shore the severe storms pounded her to pieces. Hansen with much difficulty made his way back to Seward in arrow boat belonging to Professor Stevens. The men sent word to Will Sauers to have some SUD- plies sent down to them. Mr. Sauers is now looking for some one to take a boat and go out to Yahc bay with pro- visions for the two stranded specimen hunters,

Will not Accept

It is reported that the Reynolds creditors have refused the offer made by Mir, Teter, who represented the stockholders of the Reynolds Alaska Development Company. The disagree ment seemed to come over the Alaska Home Railway proposition. Mr. Teter wished to separate that from the af- fairs of the Reynolds-Alaska Develop ment Company, and Mir. DonOhoe, who represents the creditors of the Home Railway declined to consent to that proposition. It is claimed by several of the Reynolds creditors that only three of the creditors rejected the offer of settlement. If no agreement can be reached between the creditors and the company it will probably be years be- fore any one will realize a percentage even from their claims. A court con- test will mean a great loss to all parties concerned except thoSt who draw fees from litigation.

Canada and Immigration

Canada has very suddenly come face to face with an immigration problem somewhat similar to that with which the United States has had to deal within the past few years. Dispatches from British Columbia record the feel ing of uneasiness which is developing over a considerable immigration of the poorer classes of French peasants. Dispatches from Eastern Canada also record that the government is now looking for some means to check the present flow of immigration.-P. I.

Beer In Soldiers Homes

Washington.-An amendment was in- corporated in the Sundry Civil bill by the committee on appropriations for bidding beer halls in the eight branches of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. The managers of the homes have reported that the abolition of beer halls has re- suited in an increase by 20 per cent. of offences committed by the inmates of the homes, due to alcoholism. The report set forth some interesting facts, as follows:
 "A period of eight months has now elapsed since the close of the beer halls, during which time the general policy of administration and dicipline has not been otherwise changed. Reports from governors of all branches of the homes show that 1,576 more offenses have been committed by members during this period than during the same eight month of the previous fiscal year, when the beer halls were in operation, an increase of 2S.O2 per cent. Practically all of these offenses were due to intemperance.

More Data Wanted

Washington-It is probable that in case the resolution introduced in the house by Representative Hamilton should pass this session, authorizing the War Department to communicate to congress any information it has or may be able to acquire regarding rail roads in Alaska, it will be necessary to assign a corps of officers to investi- gate the situation during the coming summer. The Interior Department already has much data regarding the forty-fve or more proposed railroads in Alaska, but what the House com mittee wants is direct and unbiased information regarding the feasibility of the projects.

HOUSE SEEKS
 MORE LIGHT
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., May 2S-The house of representatives yesterday adopted resolutions asking Secretary of Interior James R. Garfield for infor- nation concerning all railroads in pro- cess of building and all projected rail- roads in the territory of Alaska. This was done with view to bring out facts showing the dominance of the Guggen- helms in the territory. The opponents of the Guggenheims will use the revelations thus made to show the control the Guggenheims have exer- cised over Governor Hoggatt in his adverse attitude toward territorial government.

Autoists to Try Alaska

Seattle-The Journey from Valdez to East cape may yet be made by an automobile; at any event the attempt is to be made next winter by Maurice Drieghe and Max Hopman, cores pondents of the Le Journal, the Paris publication that sent an automobile independently to contest in the interna- tional race. These correspondents have decided to abandon their inten- tion of following the international ra- cers and will return to Paris and in January will go to Valdez and start in over the trail.

CONVENTION
 ADJOURNED
By Gable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle, May 2S-The mining men composing the northwestern branch of the American Mining Congress, who have been in session here for the past few days, adjourned last night. Before adjournment they severely scored both Governor Hoggatt and John Corson for not properly standing by and upholding the interests of the mining men of the north, and also for their non attendance at the miners convention. The miners endorsed Delegate Thomas Gale, but there was manifest among them much feeling against the Guggenheims.

MAY BE MURDER
 AT CORDOvA
Body of Man Apparently Placed on Railway Track to Cover
 up the Crime.

In letter from Mir. H. J. Vaughan, who has charge of the night freight train at Cordova, to Mrs. Vaughan in Seward, he states that as he was talk inc a load of freight from the dock last Wednesday night the engine struck and ran over man on the track. When he was going down to the dock that night he met the purser and the first mate of the freighter Seward, which was then unloading at the docks, going in towards the town. The body upon examination proved to be that of the purser of the Seward. Investigation was immediately made and from the fact that there was dry blood on the face of the dead man and from other circumstances it was con- cluded that the man had not met his death by being hit by the train, but that there had been foul play and the body had been placed upon the track to cover up the traces of crime.
 As the first mate of the Seward was the last man seen with the purser when he was alive, suspicion rested upon him and he was placed under arrest.

C., who will send the wrecking tug Salvor north to secure the crippled vessel. The same concern had charge of the salvaging of the Northwestern when that vessel went aground near La touche year ago.-Cordova Alaskan.
