HOME RULE FOR ALASKA.

New Mexico and Arizona are to be admitted into the Union before long, which will leave Alaska the only ter ritory of the United States which has any prospect of entering the Union as a state. The others are, and are likely to remain, colonies in fact, not withstanding the dislike of Ameri' cans generally for the term; but con- Gitions must be recognized as they are.
 So far as concerns the insular pos sessions of the United States, inhab' tied as they are by alien people, un' familiar with our institutions, it might be well to establish special bureau or even department of the gov ernment to exercise jurisdiction over them. But Alaska should be treat ed precisely as all other American

AS VIEWED IN ALASKA.

Things are not so much different in Alaska from conditions nearer to the center of civilization. There comes to hand a copy of the Skagway Daily Alaskan. the price of which is 10 cents per copy. However, the sub. scriber may have it for $l per month by carrier or a cents month by mail. or one year by mail for $9.
 It is an interesting little publication. ;niS far.off contemporary of ours; and It seems that the things that interest Us here are much the same things that interest the readers of news paper printed in a country We are ac- CuStOmed, many of Us. 10 think of as .ce-Oound and frigid The leading edi tOrial article is one dealing with the tariff questionable paper is dated May Ig-and asserting that after a hundred years of discussion the tar. itf question seems no nearer solution than it was at the beginning. Quite correct! And it never will be any nearer solution than .t is now. This iS one of the intending questions. Like some of the letters You get from oRe who cannot write a legible hand, the tariff question is an Unfailiur source Of interest and amusement Tr 'e's always something new abou, new aud entertaining.
 There are many other interesting items in this little publication from the Alaskan territory, including one uarrating the arrest ot a young man who had attempted to ug off totem pole for exhibition at the Seattle FIX position. He was given a lecture and . suspended sentence, and informed by the court that the laws Of Alaska forbade the carrying away of any historic or prehistoric relics" under the penalty of fine or imprisonment or both. Tuck Flaharty advertises that the Board of Trade is open all the time at the corner of Fifth ave uue and Broadway, Limerick Alley.

OIL CAR EQUIPPED WITH NEW
APPARATUS
Many Witness First Actual Tryout Of
Invention at San Bernardno.
Company Has Large
Plans

SAN BERNARDINO, March 6.-An
oil car of the Santa Fe railway today
was equipped with the first set of Sea-
brook-bo differential railway aXles to
be nut in actual service. The patent of
this invention was secured by the in
ventor, B. r. Seabrook, several months
ago. Since then a company has been
organized to carry on the work of per-
fecting the device. The company ex-
poets to locate shops either here or in
Los, Angeles in the near future.
The installation of the invention on
the Toll car today was witnessed by a
large number of persons. It's develop
nient is being watched with great in
terest by railroad men and engineers
all oyer the world. The shops in which
the device will be manufactured will be
erected at cost of $4,000. The COM
pany which has been holding the pat
cnts on the invention is known as the
Western Engineering company. The
next job to be undertaken will be the
equipment of train of thirty cars
with the new device. The company is
constantly receiving inquiries from
railway officials in reference to the
merits of the invention. So far the
Santa Fe railway is the only system
to officially take up the invention
Speaking of the device Mr.. Seabrook
said:
every layman appreciates the value
and advantage of a differential move
ment of wheels on any vehicle. The de-
vice will do away with the ear-splitting
noise made by street cars in going
around curves and will eliminate the
necessity of greasing the rails. The de-
vice will also do away with the screech-
ing noise so noticeable under the pres
emf conditions"

such stocks were pushed forward was not AZ

There was no further talk of Duluth or

All these things were favorable to sellers
