CUT IT OUT

There is g growing feeling among the Ioggers of this section of Alaska against the senseless ruling recent. ly issued by the interior depart in regard to cutting timber in this country, and a determined effort will no doubt be made to have the rules abolished.
 The ruling was first made to ap- ply to states where timber is scarce and where the cutting away of the timber tends to create arid condi- tions. h instances of that kind, the ruling j. wi5e and in keeping with car,i4l economy; but to ap- ply the saLts ruling to Alask is & piece of the most ridiculous dam phooiishness and rank injustice ever foisted upon any intelligent people, It also demonstrates the fact that dense ignorance exists in

high places in the forestry service regarding Alaska, and conditions existing here.
 If loggers should go through the forests of Alaska and cut every tree that Is suitable for lumber, they would not take one tree out of every thousand standing on the territory covered. A great major ity of the timber is too small for sawlogs, and much of il is of scrub by growth, leaving only very few trees for lumber.
 Now, if any reasonable man can explain how the new ruling is going to be of benefit to the country, we shall be pleased to hear from him.
 We hear someone remark that the ruling is made to preserve the timber for the mines that will eventually he developed.
 Bosh and tommyrotl There is enough timber on Prince of Wales Island alone to timber all the mines of Alaska for a hundred years to come.
 It is our opinion, and the opinion of ninety-nine out of every hun dred citizens of Southeastern Alas ka, that the whole forest reserve system of Southeastern Alaska is absolute nonsense, and is kept alive for no other purpose than to furnish jobs for lot of pap-suckers whose accomplishments fit them for nc higher position, and to pro- vide them with gasoline launches in which to cavort around the country and live in dolce far niente

NOW Is THE TIME

II W rangell Duelness men Will take opportunity by the forelock, they are now in position to get the major portion of the west coast trade. Capt. Roy Cole, who is in command of the Uncle Dan, is one of the best-known captains in this part of Alaska. Every man living and doing business in the towns and camps served by the Uncle Dan knows him and thinks well of him. They know that when he is entrusted with 6 charge, he will attend to it in a business-like man. ner They also know that with the approach Of winter and rough weather, the Wrangell route is the most dependable by which to get their service.
 Cape Chacon is bad one" in the winter time, and there are months at a time when small craft dare not venture around it. To carry freight across the portage en- tails an extra lot of trouble and expense. This leaves the Wrangell route as the only one by which the west coast people are sure of get ting supplies on time.
 Now, the thing for our merchants to do is, first, forget all jealousy and selfshness, and work together with the idea always predominant that there is strength in union.
 Change your ad. every week, and If there is a man on the west coast whom you want for a customer, send him the SENTINEL for a year Two dollars spent for a subscrip- ton will give you a chance of tell ing your patrons fifty-two times what you have to offer, and the profits resulting therefrom will be a surprise to you.
 Every time you have a deal on some commodity, and can offer a bargain, say so in the paper, giving prices, etc, The big mail order houses of Chicago and New York have been getting much of this business, because they keep these people informed as to what they had to- offer, and at what price. Our merchants can capture this trade by using the same ammuni- ton as is used by the big eastern mail order houses. What is this ammunition?
 Most of the mail order houses grew from smaller beginnings than any general store in Wrangell, and were you to ask the secret of their enormous growth, the answer wo'd invariably be "ADYERTISE."

Exchange: How Russel Sage made his money, at least the later accumulations, is shown by the fact just brought out that when the executors took hold of the estate after his death they found that no less than $29,O00,000 was due it from loans made to stock exchange houses on call. This was branch of the money market of which he made a speciality, and for which he carried huge amount of cash. In times of severe money stress, when call rates would rise to 20, 50 and even 100 per cent, it would be pos sible for him to reap a fortune in a brief time, and it was noticeable that he would be exceptionally long on cash when such times came on, and he charged all the traffic would bear. Meantime it is to be noticed that the executors of the estate, Dr. John P. Mum and Charles W. Os- burn, have helped themselves or been helped 10 generous share of the great fortune. They have been two years in settling it and receive $995,6 ,636 for their services, while NIr. Sage left &25,000 each to his nephews and nieces.

New professional ethics pro- claimed by committee of the American Bar Association declare no attorney has the right to advise a corporation how to evade the law and condemns fraud and chioanery of every kind employed to defeat the purposes of swift justice. 1t is admirable to hold aloft such a standard, but it is incompatible with the competitive commercial age and few there be who will at- tain it. It suggests the camel and the eye of the needle, and is fully as difficult to practice as the phil : osophy of Christ.

ALTAR OR SKooKUM HOUSE

The reports that have gone to the world during the past year or two, relative to the social and hy- gienic condition of the Alaskan Indians have aroused the Interior Department to a eense of its duty in the premises. As consequence of Investigations, MT. Updegraff has been instructed to appoint medical examiners for each of the judicial districts. It will be the duty of these examiners to visit every na- tive home in their respective juris- dictions and make careful and searching observations of the phys ical condition 0! every Indian, with a view to stamping out unsanitary conditions and attendant disease which exist in such a marked de- gree. The examiners will also be vested with power to compel white men who are living in adultery with native women, to marry them according to law, or go to jail. The native custom of living together as man and wife without the lawful ceremony will also abolished.
 The appointment of the examiner for Southeastern Alaska will prob ably have been made before this has reached the reader, and for the benefit of any reader who may be exposed to process of law, we say: get yourself in readiness for what is to come, for the examiner is apt to appear unannounced. Bear in mind the manner in which Fish Inspector Cobb Handed" the trap fishermen, only a few weeks ago, and govern yourself accordingly, A word to the wise is sufficient.

The extra cost of building an abut- ment foun 1ation would not be so very great, and by spending a few hundred dollars more and extend- ing the walk to Front Street, the people of the west end of town would haue a good walk and at the same time have the protection from fire to which they are en,a,led just as much as are those who sit down in their places of business, near the fire apparatus, and ridicule efforts made toward the level walk.

PRESIDENT. Not That ne lacks the VIII;
his great want is pure courage. Once
in the White House, his next days
desire would be a reelection; and
after that, his selfish timidities would
palsy him for anything like generous
presidential effort.
No, forsooth; it calls for no mighty
wit to be a good President. But
there are dragons to be met withal
These, if not squarely in the way,
may be relied upon as ferociously up
the side streets. All that an evil
intelligence, backed by money as
evil, can do will be done toward ter
rorizing and turning back Presi-
dent who heads for popular good.
Those forces have been found power
full enough to mold the strongest in
their hours, and Mr.. Bryan, ham
pered and weakened by his hopes Of
a reelection, would not be found so
indomitable, not to say so ironbound,
as to withstand them.
At the close of my last story, I had
got Mr.. Bryan into the House and
onto the Ways and Means, the latter
because Of his wasted speakership
vote and his deal with the friends of
Mr.. Crisp. AS he took his House
seat, that wasted caucus vote In no
wise troubled Mr.. Bryan. What cared
Mr.. Bryan7
Tariff and Silver, in their future
House expressions, would follow that
speakership as tail follows kite.
What then? Mr.. Bryan must think
Of himself. And so he had thrown
himself away on Mr.. Springer
thrown himself away in battle that
meant millions to the public.
The mystery Of that wasted Bryan
vote rode me like a nightmare. For
it was my newspaper business to I'M
ravel it, and those were days when |
knew less than I do now. Wherefore,
when chance offered, I asked him
those questions touching his reasons
for that wasted vote, as I've already
reeounted.
That question-putting came about
easily enough. l ran onto Mr.. Bryan
in the lobby back of the House. He
was beaming, with a suave, oily
satisfaction that is still much at
home on his face.
Commonly a man is most frank
when most pleased with himself. In
surly moments he turns silent, secret,
suspicious. The time was ripe and
right to take up that great caucus
Bryan mystery.
Wherefore I flung my question at
him; wherefore he flung me his reply.
Facing an sold soldier element along
the Platte" he must heedfully save
his skirts from every "ex-Confed-
crate" stain. Having answered me,
he walked away, not without self
sufficient switch to his young coat
tails, as being the coat tails OF one
who had solved his whole future, and
settled it in favor of an uninterrupted
political success. / got the impress
