A ''dog poisoner" has been getting in his deadly work at Juneau, and an- other of a similar breed has been operating at Skagway. While poison ing the poor creatures is despicable business, yet there may be ''extenuat- ing circumstances There are some people in almost every town in Alas ka who persist in keeping dogs that are nuisance to everybody. These dogs are never kept at home where they belong, but are permitted to run the streets from morning until night and from night until morning. At almost any time of the day you can see more dogs on the streets than peo- pie. We honestly believe that there is limit to the degree of patience that should be exercised by the people of any community even in the matter of dogs. Douglas Island News.

The Ampitheatre of the Alaska u- kon-P aciic Exposition has been ac. complished partly by human efforts but for the most part the work has been done by nature. On the precip- tIous shores of Lake Washington, looking across succession of bays, and snow topped peaks of the Cas- cades are brought clearly into view, and this forms the back ground of the amptheatre stage. Three sides rise from the floor, and these nave state- ly upward slope; only in the develop ment of these natural seating places has it been necessary for work to be expended.
 About the tiered sides of the amp- theatre, thirty thousand people can have comfortable and slightly posi- tions. Surrounded at the back and sides to towering trees of Douglas fir and massive cedar, and the pace seems to have been created by giants of old for spectacular events; it is so fashioned and designed, that open air accostics produce results which could be generally looked for only within the walls of structures built with this property always in mind.

Officers of the Smithsonian Institute have written to Dr. H. c. Story re- questing him to send them a half dozen rats and an equal number of bats. They have all the sick bats and rats that can be used so have made re- quest for some heathy ones from salu- brious Alaska, the non-plague kind.
 The genial doctor is now going out on bat-hunting expedition. These bats have to be pickled in alcohol, just like some other bats eve heard about.
 II any of our citizens have bats in their belfry or rats in their garret, Dr. Story wants to interview them.
 The Alaska bats have become notor- ious. Some of the longest bats ever known to natural history have been exhibited in the states by northland citizens and have excited the admira- tion of all observers.
 Seriously the doctor needs six bats t.e he) and six rats (haw haw). Like Roosevelt he has been selected be- cause of thorough knowledge of the subject, to contribute specimens to this great scientific institution. Any varitey can he u;ed. The sockeye ra's or the humpback bats are both avail able.

logic sketch, and an account of the distribution of the gold placer, min- Ing methods, and production.

You cannot look about you op the streets without seeing people who have money in their pocket which ought to be in your cash drawer, or to your credit in the bank. You can not look about you in your store or shop without seeing goods that these same people should own-should now be using.
 These facts bold good-even if you have been doing good business lately. They are the sort of facts which mak store keeping and the most interesting in the world-the most tantallzlpg one. too.
 You can't go out on the streets per sonally and take these people by the hands and lead them into your store. But you can go to them vicariously. You can maks your newspaper ad- vertising your proxy. You can make it say to them all that is in yont mind-all that you could possibly say if you had their undivided attention for an hour. And you can make what you say to them so interesting fraught with purse-importance to them-that they will read eagerly. Your advertising does this, to som ( great or small extent, of course. Ii 1 falls short of it's fullest appeal if it is not as full of enthusiasm as you are. It is only half-good enough if it is only half big enough, or if it appears only halt often enough. And, in advertis- 1 ing, as in the matter of coat or din- oer-if it is only half big enough, ol half frequent enough, it leaves a good deal to be desired.
 This newspaper can cooperate with you to the completest advantage of it as means of influencing it's people in your store.

A new editor and manager, in the person of Bert Howdeshell, has taken hold and the change is in every way for the better. Great improve ment is to be noted in the handling of editorial, telegraph and local matter, while the increased advertising sug- gests that Ketchikan people are not slow to respond with support. rt.-Juneau Transcript.

From Valdez comes this unusual story and it was printed as true one the Prospector:
 To be seized by an eagle and carried miles through the air, to escape its captor and make its way through deep snow hack home is the experience of a cat belonging to Joseph Burke, of the Standard Copper Company at it's home at the mine workings, about ,. 200 feet above the beach when an eagle was observed to swoop down and carry it off. The sad fate of Madam Grimalkin was discussed by the men and the affair became one of those events that are of the past.
 Two days ago, however, the incident was revived, for there was a vicious angling of the telephone bell in the mine company office and the agitated voice of an Italian announced that the cat had returned. Investigation proved the announcement to be true, for torn almost hairless along her back and nearly starved, the cat crawled into her home.
 Just how the cat escaped the eagle is mystery. Whether the animal twisted and scratched itself free dur ing the flight of it's captor, whether it escaped after the eagle had settled itself on some high-rased crag or whether she succeeded in killing its captor are questions that will never be answered. But the fact remains that the cat, carried by an eagle. is back home after an absence of nine days. On the heights of the mountains above the mine workings the snow is deep and soft ard the journey of the cat must have been nearly as strenuous as it's sudden departure from it's com fortable home.

A Nome special says it has just been learned from good authority that a shaft 120 feet below the sea level has been sunk on a placer property oue and one-half miles east of Fort Davis, and that at that depth bedrock was not reached. The remarkable depth be- low the sea level reached by the man who sank the shaft is remarkable, as none of the submarine beach lines found hitherto have been more than half that distance below the surface of the sea.

The work of the United States geological survey in Alaska. plan ned primarily to afford information concerning the regions of greatest economic importance, has resulted in the mapping of many areas of very irregular outline and the published maps show wide variations in size of sheet, scale. and amount of detail. The desirabilty of making these maps more uniform has, how ever, been kept in view, and in conformity with it's practice in the United States proper, the survey has projected system of Alaskan maps covering quadrangular areas outlined by parallels of latitude and meridian of longitude. The unit adopted for these maps includes four degrees of longitude and two of lati tude-an area much larger than the unit ID the States, for most of tine surveys are reconnaissance in charac- ter and the region is very thinly pop uated
 A map of such aera, published on a scale of four miles to the inch, is as large as can be conveniently handled. The Fortymile quadrangle comprises the square degree delimited by meri- dians Al ard l42 and parallels 64 and 65. The area is about 70 miles long and 90 miles wide.
 The quadrangle has produced about 8, 900, 900 in placer gold since the de- posits were discovered in 1886, and the mines have been worked continuously, though each subsequent discovery of other placer deposits has withdrawn men from Forty region. New productive areas have been developed 1 and old areas have been worked by new methods, but there are still con- siderable areas of low-grade ground that, under lower cost of mining due to improvement in the facilities of transportation and cheaper methods of handling material, could probably be prof tably mined. No workable de- posits of coal have been found in the quadrangle, but small amount of coal has locally been used for blacksmith | ing.
