 good omen He's newspaper and has learned to keep his foot of his mouth. He hungered for office and this is the first time he has accepted He appreciates the honor without swelling up with bor rowed importance He has governors before and of them mighty small in mental circumference He surely realizes that the halo surrounding governor other high potentate is only apparent to the ignorant and sometimes the potentate The lovely which glimmers with effecua light must shine through deeds
 Some governor is going to have a chance to make a record for himself right here in Alaska Some governor is going to come up here and write his alongside those of Seward Sumner in the annals of Alaskan history Will it be Walter Clark!

bare, the lumber barons formed combine and put up prices while in the great lumber camps of northern Michigan, Wisconsin. and Minnesota Canadian laborers by the thousands and tens of thousands crossed the \ American border line every winter in open competition, or a free-trade market in men. In other words, we sold our rich forests to combines of capital for mere nominal figure, then gave these combines law to enable them to fleece and rob the whole American people by excluding all competition from the Canadian forest. We allowed cheap labor from Canada to come in free, and the lum- ber harons secured the cheapest labor, hy creating high priced commissions and officers, in a national movement to protect our remaining soanty tor ests. We are proposing to expend mil lions more in planting trees over the millions of acres of stumpage left bare by this group of millionaires and muti- miliionaires, who, by making barren wastes of this once fructifying forest, have dried up the fountain heads of navigable rivers, invited deadly cyclones. and changed the climate of great States.

Prospectors in the Moose pass region on Kenai peninsula have continued their discoveries over the range north ward to Six Mile, stream that flows into Turnagain Arm, and on which hydraulic placer mining has been in progress ever since the Cook inlet rush. A quartz discovery is also reported from Crow creek on the north side of the Arm, rich placer creek. It is apparent that the gold area is extensive, with strike nearly straight north from Falls creek and Moose pass.
 The latest report is brought over from Seward by Judge s. 0. Morford, who arrived on the Bertha. Valdez Prospector.

Assessor Tom Case was very busy the early part of the week, figuring out the tax rolls and attendant troubles for Wrangell property holders. He reports that he has raised the assessed valuation of the town s15, 23S over that of last year. The total valuation for 1909 being sl36, 989 as against sl2l, 751 for 1908. The greater part of the raise was made on real stsate, the town trustee's figures being taken as a basis. The balance was on store stocks. Tom says that he has gone thoroughly into the matter, and is satisfied that his values are fair. r.-Wrangell Sen tineI.

For the past few days Road Over seer Eide has been collecting the road tax from those persons eligible to pay-that is, citizens of the mascu- ire gender between the ages of IS and 50. Many are selecting to work out thier tax, or pay others to do SO. It is stated that the moneys collected will be applied to fund to complete the road to the Moose Pass region. The amount originally proportloned by the road commission for this trail B, OO0-is not sufficient to finish 1t. At this time, this is perhaps the most travelled road on the peninsula, and it is desirable that it be we'll con- struc.ed and completed to its destina- tion this season. The gold discov cries in the Moose Pass country are very important and miners engaged there should be assisted by good trails in order to hasten and augment develop ment work on the properties.

 A part Of the reduction in natural graphite was made up by the artificial product, which increased in value from s4sl, 2s9 to s5O2, 6o7. Artificial graphite is made by single firm, located at Nigara Falls, which uses an electric process in its manufacture.
 Graphite is of growing industrial importance. The fact that it is nearly pure car rbon, is relatively inert chem ically, and volatilizes only at high temperatures makes it of exceptional value in the manufacture of cruel bIes, mut,es, stirring rods, etc. Most of it used for these purposes, however, is imported from Ceylon.
 Another important use is for lubri- eating. The addition of graphite to oil results in lower friction than would be obtained by the use of oil alone. The quantity of oil required is also reduced, and lighter grade of oil or oil of an inferior quality man be employed. Graphite can also be used as lubricant alone.
 The use of graphite mixed with clay for lead pencils is well known. The more graphite and the less clay, the softer the pencil: the less graphite and the more clay, the harder the pencil. Formerly every American pencil manufacturer had to import hls graphite from Bohemia or Bavaria; but about ten years ago large deposit of amorphous graphite was discovered in Sonora, Mexico, which proved to be of excellent quality for pencil mak- ing, and the American pencil trade now relies mainly on this source.
 Graphite is also used for coating foundry facing, for stoye-poIishing pastes, for coloring tea leaves and coffee beans. as rust preventing paint and for adulterating fertilizers this last being for the benefit of people who think no fertilizer is good unless it is dark colored.
 The Geological Surveys report on the graphite industry can be obtained free by writing to the Director of the Survey, Washington, D. c.

Graphite Deposits
 Now In Demand

According to United States Geolog- ical Survey, the production of natural graphite in the United States in 1905, fell of more than nine-tenths as con- pared with 1907. This great decrease was chiefly due to the total suspension of operations by certain Georgia firms which has been mining graphite, schist for use in fertilizers. This class of graphite however, was of compara- lively little value, and the reduction in total value due to it's cessation amounted to only about one-third- from s2e9, 97O to s2Oe, O9O.
 In 1908. as in 1907, New York ranked first, Alabama second, and Pennsylvania third in both quantity and value og the natural graphite pro-

After almost a half century of high protective tariff, made, as claimed, for the protection of labor, what has labor to show for the system in this great virgin lands: The high tariff on lumber illustrates the whole proposi. tion.

Thirty pounds of gold quartz which netted, when mortared up and the gold freed. the sum of $50. or an aver age of s1 per pound, is the cause of excitement which prevails on Eagle river, and which has led to stam- pede to that vicinity.
 Conrad Hories, German, is the name of the prospector who found the rich quartz vein. The report is con- trmed by Judge Hildreth. He heard of the discovery and saw fifty pounds of the rich quartz while enroute to the Mantanuska coal fields. The richness of the rock led him to send word to his brother-in-law, Thomas Jeter, tn en in Seward, and Jeter immeGi- ately departed for the scene. A we'll known prospector named Stucy depart from here at about the same time.

Patriot To Anarchist
 Saint To Devil

0dilIb U DSFi H Senator George J. Baird, member of the Canadian parliament of Nova Scotia, and a man of large affairs in the Dominion, on his return from a trip to the Mantanuska coal fields, points out ths possibilities of great resource which has hitherto passed uunosiced. He says the forests of the Susitna and the Matansuka valleys are of vast commercial value for the pro- duction of wood pulp. from which paper is manufactured. The trees most numerous in these forests are poplar. cotton ood and small spruce. All of these varieties are used iu other coun- tries in the making of paper; the pop lar is especially desirable for this purpose. The senator is himself inter- ested in paper mills and therefore speaks with authority upon the sub- ject.
 l. is not improbable, therefore, that huge paper mills, employing hundreds of persons, will be in operation at convenient prints along the route of the Alaska Central Railway, within the course of few years. Water power for the running Of machinery IS abundant: lime an eisment used in the manufacture of paper, occurs in large dikes along the route of the railroad.
 It is now up to some ambitions government official to thrust himself to the front and immediately embrace these valuable forests into timber reserve, in order to delay the coun- try's development. The great coal resources of Alaska is fitting exam pie of official interference and ignor- ance. The country has millions of tons of coal yet the inhabitants are compelled to send to the states for this commodity. It is enough to turn the most loyal patriot into an anarchist; a saint into a devil.-Seward Gate way.
