ATHLETIC FINANCES
At BIC UNIVERSITIES
By Edward r. Bushnell.

II some New York financial houses

of the tremendous profits which are made
every year by the athletic associations OF
the five leading universities of the east

profits of last season from foot ball alone
at the universities which make up the
Big Five"-Yale, Harvard. Pennsylvania
Princeton and Cornell. The same uni
versities conducted base ball at a net
proht of so1,47367. a sum which would
have been considerably larger but for the
fact that this sport lost money at two
of the nstitutions-Pennsylva ana
Cornell. The four major sports or 1907

Cutting Down Expenses.
Due in measure TO the general at
tacks made upon college athletics be-
cause they consumed so much of the
students time, and likewise because OF
the financial extravaganza with which
they were conducted, there has been
concerted movement on the part of these
universities for a revision downward OF
expenses Inasmuch as the financial
statements here considered refer only TO
the academic year which closed Septem-
Der. 1908. it is impossible to determine
what effect the campaign for more
economy has had within the last year,
but the next reports will probably show
a still greater pairing down of expenses.
The following table shows at glance
the immense amount of money hanoleo
by these student associations ana tne
division between receipts, expenditures
and pr0f1fS.

ADVERTISING ALASKA.

The Alaskan town of Skagway has organized a commercial club and has entered upon an active campaign of publicity. with the idea of converting the outside public to an understand, Ing of actual conditions in that part of the great northern territory. The purpose is a good one and the results W bout doubt win be beneficial to all of Alaska.
 Alaska is the last great territory of this continent open to exploitation and pioneering. Unless it's growth and development should be cruelty hampered by federal legislation, de- sigedly intended to prevent its growth and the utilization of the great resources which the present pioneers Of Alaska have uncovered, that territory promises to rival in the rapidlty of its expansion all that has

been seen in the past. As 1t stands today, it offers greater opportunities, in more different directions, to the hardy and enterprislng young men of this country and of the world than any other territory ever offered at a parallel period of its development.
 Up to a comparatively recent period too much of the interest of those domiciled in Alaska was centered on their immediate personal fortunes, considered without regard to that of the community at large The average man who went to Alaska did so with the sole 'dea of making fortune and returning as soon as this could be done. Now, however, Alaska is acquiring a resident population of men who have gone there to make 1t permanent place of abode; who have an interest in the development of the whole country, therefore not merely of the particular piece of pro- perty which they are holding at the time.
 The formation of commercial clubs and the advertising campaigns of the Alaska towns show this new spirit, one which will help the territory won, der1ully in the future. Alaska wants great population and there is room for it. The modern motto is: If you want anything, advertise for it. Alaska is to adyertise.-Se Seattle P. l.

A MINER AND A SCIENTIST.

A week ago we published a clipping from the Portland Telegram in which a miner stated that the Eskimos of the Alaska Yukon have deteriorated and have been pauperized under Mis- sion influences. This miner. Fell by name. reminds us of trader from lhe Yukon We met this autumn who likewise ran down the missionaries, When asked why he took that atti- tude his sole excuse was that a cer- tain missionary, known to us, had ad- yised the Indians against selling their turs to him. This to us seems enOug to ezonerate the missionary, knowing traders as we do.
 A remarkable piece of testimony ha come to our notice since the item re- terred to was published. A short time ago pr. Gordon, scientist of ;he University of Pennsylvania, spent a-whole summer in the Yukon in the Uerest Of science. While there he wrote a letter to Prof. Pepper of the University Law school which sets forth what he saw of the missions. We give a summary of the letter: or great interest to me were three In- dian pilots whose consummate skill m river navigation render them indis- pensible la operating the steamers Through them I met missionary Mir BrOOst who had evidently won their confidence upon whom they relied for addce.-a contrast with the way they spoke of many other white men. More than once in my observations l was ashamed of my color-a very un pleasant feeling. I walked three mile cn one occasion to visit MT. Preyosts mission. The mission presented a very attractive appearance. The h. dians were mostly away AT WORK. On every hand were signs Of industry and thrift. Here at least the uncleau ideals and strange morals that are deyouring the Northern Indians had received 8 check. Here white men found it unwise to peddIe whiskey or debauch the native when the MT. Provost was on the ground. The prosperity and capacity of the peO- pie surprised me. The character Of the natives is such as to recommend them to every rightminded person. Our treatment of them creates a sense of shame and l cannot but speak in terms of praise of those who being men first and missionaries af- terward, are giving their lives for the redemption of our national sins. T. is I fear too early for the awak- euing of the public conscience, and too late for the arrest of the evil The Alaskans are, believe. through  our mis-doings, doomed to extinction at an early day
