Five Thousand Books
 Advertising ketchikan

Ketchikan, First City in A laska, is the title of sixty four page illustra- ted booklet just issued by the ladies auxiliary of this city. It contains twenty three views of Ketchikan and vicinity with brown cover show ing the business part of the city and a view of Tongass Narrows and adja- cent mountains. This Is the first work ever printed which gives in compact form an outline of our resources and a pictorial repr resentation of Ketchi- kan as 1t is. The book is seven by four inches in size and just large enough to be conveniently carried or mailed. Five thousand copies have been printed and one thousand of those have been placed with our Seattle representative who is using them to advertise this district by distributing them among people whom he can interest In Our resources.
 Four thousand are now In the hands of the auxiliary and two thousand will be given gratuitously to citizens of Ketchikan. The balance will be placed on sale at the various news stands and disposed of at twenty-five cents each.
 owing to the fact that large fund was not available to get out an elab- crate work, the committee thought it advisable to make the booklet modest in size and inorease the number to the limit of their means. In doing so much interesting data had to be omit ted. It fact several of the writers who were to have sent in special articles neglected to do so and the book had to go to the press without them. There never was book printed, not even dictionary, without more or less errors, ana it will not be surprs- ing if some are found in this one.
 However, a second edition of Ave thousand copies is to be printed and the errors, corrected and changes made for the better wherever it is possible. Alonp this line suggestions are asked for and will be cheerfully considered.
 Anyone desiring one of the booklets for preservation or to send to outside Mrs. Hunt, secretary of the auxiliary.

Washington, Aug. 26-Charges have
 heen preferred by chief Diviion Gla- wis that Secretary Ballinger is trying to rush a settlement of the 4 laska coal fraud cases and get titles pc, fected in he interest of the big companies. The talk has caused President Taft to give considerable attention to the Ballnger Pinchot controversy.
 Glavis has also made the statement rhat. Ballinger has announced himself as ,ip, lIpe, ft9r election to Senator Piles seat ana expects tto gain it through the backing of the Guggenheim interests. He says that in all the recent trouble Ballinger has had the support of the Guggenheims. Officials here discoun- tenance the statements made by Gla- wis and are inclined to think he can't substantiate any of his charges.

R. F. Straud, who was charged with having shot to death C.. F. Von Dahmer in cabin in Junaeu in Jan uary os this year and pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter last week was sentenced Monday to serve twelve years in McNeils island hy Judge Cushman. In sentencing Straud Judge Cushman said the extreme youth of the accused was taken into considera- tion and the further fact that the evidence was largely circunstan- tial made extenuating circumstances, which led him. to believe the sentence he was imposing was sufficiently severe. The costs of the case were also assessed against Straud and he will have to serve out their payment, as portion of the penalty for his crime.

Fifteen Cent Copper
 Doubtful this Year

The Pacific Miner thinks that fifteen cent copper will not be reached this year. The larger copper mine owners have evidently come to conclusion to forget those palmy days when above twenty cents was compounding profits, for the output continues at full capa- city, notw ithstanding the market is nominal about the fourteen-cent fig ure. The demand is, freaky, in that large orders for copper are followed by condition of masterly inactivity. Still, science, mechanics and inven- tjon combine to increase the demand for copper year by year. It is the one base metal next to iron, thai will ever be required in enormous quanti- ties, The area of deposit in the United States is remarkably large. Aside from lu6 S6tIulukly lhpAuapsoipiS HS'e' in Michigan, Montana and Arizona, Nevada is coming to the front, and Mexico has deposits that could supply the world for an indefinite period. There is money in prospecting for cop per and working prospect into a mine, but 1t requires more capital than gold development.
 The Copper Syndicate is not pleased with the outlook An effort was rectnty made to form holding cor poration to take oyer the surplus monthly, and thus endeayor to fegp- late supply and demand, but an agree ment has not yet been reached. It is freely believed now that fifteen-cent price will hardly be realized this year.
