 These new regulations are not necessary to preserve Alaska's for est domain. A large part of the mountains of Alaska are only good for tree growing. Trees grow very rapidly, and the sale for lumber is not such that will in any way inn peril the forests, even if cutting goes on unimpeded.
 Then think of this tax of $1 per thousand. It can only be to pay for a supervision of the forests which is not needed in Southeast Alaska. It will be used to pay the salaries of officials who are not needed and are doing a useless work. It will help to keep Alaska game preserve for high-toned hunters.

There is no doub. that the hand of Weyerhauser can be seen be- tween the lines of the recent ruling of the forestry service with regard to logging on the public domain. Weyerhauser is foxy old gazaboo, and he wants the Alaska lumber market. He knows that if Alaska mills are allowed to run the de- mand will be supplied from Alaska forests He knows that by hiring the forestry department to enforce strict rules on the loggers, many of the loggers will quit logging, and Alaskan mills will be unable to get sufficient logs from which to supply the increasing demand for lumber. Then prospective builders must draw on Weyerhauser's mills for lumber. Money is powerful stuff. Yes? No?

RAWESr INJUSTICE

In all United States Indian res- ervations the Indians are furnished with all necessary conveniences that will tend to improve their con- dition. Farm implements, cloth ing, food, etc., are supplied, and Lo has @ comfortable home and an easy time. He doesn't have to hustle, because he knows where the next meal Is coming from. But what is the condition in Alaska? ?
 When this north land was found to be rich in gold, bought legislation denied Lo the privilege of mining.
 He then looked to fishing as a means of gaining a living. But money-bought legislation allowed the canneries to crowd him away from his fishing ground to make room for their traps.
 Lo then cast about for some line of endeavor by which he might support his wife and papooses-for Lo is not believer in race suicide. The sawmills needed logs, and he went into the woods and cut about one tree out of every five thousand Now the forestry department is scared-probably at so much ssss per scare-that the cutting of this timber will convert Alaska into an arid waste, and virtually denies Lo the right to log.
 Education is given gtudgingly to Los children, so they can not hope to ever fill clerical or like positions.
 The demand of the tich has sent white hunters and trappers into Alaska, until Lo stands but poor show in fur-ttapping'
 Ignorance of hygiene is allowing disease to make terrific progress in Los family, but the only way in which he can get medical attend ance is to get himself arrested as a vagrant; and even then he is sometimes compelled to take treat ment from d counterfeit doctor (?) who has never seen the inside of medical college.
 Be it said to the burning shame and disgrace of our government that we, through the bribing power of money, have virtually said to the Alaska Indian: "Go and dig clans, smoke salmon; hunt deer and pick berriesi Clothe yourself with animal skins, live a life of ignorance and disease, and die in squalor, damn you we want the resources of Alaska to fill the purse of the wealthy white man. It serves you right for being an Iniun, anyway !"

ALASKA MARBLE

An Alaskan industry which Is destined soon to assume gigantic proportions is the quarrying and shipping of marble. For several years the Alaska Marble Company has been shipping quantities of first class marble from its quarries at Marble Creek. This marble is mostly shipped to, and marketed in, the lake states, but the demand has grown sufficiently to enable the company to keep @ crew of men at work throughout the year. Other deposits have been worked on a smaller scale, but have reached a stage of development which assures their worth, and these are now at tracting the attention of eastern marble men,
 With the building up of the big cities of the western states the de- mand for marble is sure to grow, and this marble will, quite natur- ally, be obtained from dealers who can market it at the lowest figures. This fact gives the Alaska article a large advantage ovef the eastern product. Railroad transportation is considerably higher than ship ment by water; and; with the cost of quarrying practically the same in Alaska as in Vermont or Geor- gia, the Alaska marble can be laid down in any of the coast ports at a much less cost than can that from Atlantic coast quarries.
 The ensuing year or two will see a strong effort made by eastern marble men to get possession of the vast deposits of tt1atble in Alaska. This will be great benefit to this particular section. The quality of the marble taken from the auarries down the Eastern Passage; is such that there is no doubt as to its value as building and finishing stone, and some of it compares fla vorably with the Italian for statu- ary purposes. So 1t will be seen that the market is not confined to the coast states alone.
 During June; July and August, 1908, a company of eastern capi. talists will tunnel and drill on the Ham Islandd deposits, to deter mine their depth. If it proves of sufficient extent to justify working on large scale, modern machines will be installed and .aeTelopment rapidly carried on. Upon the re- suit of this investigation also rests whether of not other and larger deposits will be opened, as 1t is known that many lodges of fine marble are as yet untouched in the locality of Ham Island.
 Perfect confidence is felt that within a few yeaf6 the marble in- dustry will take its place among the more importand industries of Alaska, and prove a lucrative one for those fortunate enough to be financially interested.

RED TAPE

would adequately represent the hew rules put forth by the depart hent of forestry to regulate the cutting of timber on the govern. ment lands in Alaska, we would draw a picture of laboring man with saw and an a4 in one hand and logging jack in the other, and standing over him would be a larger man, labeled "The Depart ment of Forestry" binding the laboring man hand and foot with red tape and telling him to go forth and earn a living.
 The white man or Indian who wishes to log must make an affida- vit setting forth his business occu- patton, the use contemplated for the timber cut, a description with reference to some survey or other natural boundaries, and must put np $50 as m evidence of good faith. The significant part of this matter is that he must draw up an affida- vit. It will not only bother an Innian, but many white people to draw up an affidavit without some outside assistance. How can he Describe just where be is going to cut his timbef7 Alaska saw tim Der is so scattered that a man is often obliged to go a number of miles along the beach to get enough logs to make up a raft of from 100 NJ. to POO M., board measure.
 These rules will necessitate a mans going out to cruise for tim Der, come in and make out his ap- plication to get it approved. and wait until he can hear from the timber agent. Ii he fortunately happens to be at his officej the log ger may, considering the mail ser vice, hear in two weeks. This will necessitate, with other things, loss in time of about three weeks at the least, go that the rules may be obeyed.
 Then, after the logs are cut, the logger has to wait until the timber agent can come and measure up the logs, which may mean another months loss of time. Time is mo- ney, and, at a small estimate, the logger will lose from 500 to s2OO to comply with these ted tape rules. Further, he is to pay fifty dollars before he can begin. Many a poor man Tho wants to get start will wonder where that fifty dollars is coming from. Further. he is to cut that which will be consumed in twelve months. Suppose that there Should be number of the logs in the water, and that the sawmill companies should say "Mr. Logger, Te will not pay you your old price Tor logs.

the laity, prOportiOnately. The difhcul-
