The Horn of Plenty

While times are hard and pinching throughout the United States, Alaska, the much neg lected national possession, con tinues 10 persue the even tenor Of it's ways. The country is be- ing slowly but surely developed. Each year it continues to add largely 10 the wealth of the re public. l. Is an asset whose value is beginning to dawn upon the public. Its natural wealth is attracting more and more at rention each year, and the stor- ies of new discoveries of miner al wealth are now give credence instead of being discredited as in former times.
 Alaska has made good from the very beginning Of American occupation, but 1t has taken nearly 70 years for the govern ment and the people to realize the fact. The Russians knew a century or more ago that Alaska was rich in gold and copper. coal and oil, fish ard fur and lumber. Many of our people have it yet 10 learn. There is much information to be disseni- mated before the vast and divers flied natural resources are even partially understood by the null titUde.
 Alaska today is the largest and most inviting mineral field in the world. and yet it is practi- cally untouched. It asks ex- Dloytation, and it offers a sure reward. There are practically unlimited areas that have never even been casually explored, though sufficient is known about them to enable their promise to be youched for. There are tens of thousands of fortunes await ing the discoverers. Though still in the infancy of it's deyel- opment long before it has attain cd adolescence the world will ac- knowledge its pre-eminence as q storehouse of natural wealth. Already it has proved itself this nations cornucopia. It offers unrivaled opportunities for rich and poor. Here lies the open sesame to wealth and comforta- ble independence, where the pinch of poverty is sell

the way for most of the land frauds that have been perpetrated against the government. The theory of the sales at a merely nominal price was that the citizens of the country should be given an opportunity to enjoy for themselves the profit to be derived from share of the public domain.
 Blu, in practical operation it has been only an infinitely small proport- ion of the citizens who have profited from the operation of the timber and stone act. The vast hordes of city dwellers. the vast populations In states that decades ago exhausted all their pubic lands have been without any benefit. If in the beginning the new system of sale on apprasial had been adopted all the people of the country would have benefited irom the result ant increased income.
 No, only this, but we would today have forests that are less depleted of their timber wealth than is now the case, and the exploitation of the pub lie lands that has been notorious un- der the sale of land at & flat price oi e. 50 an acre woudl have been, in a large measure prevented. In practice the game under the timber and stone act has been to search out she most bpromising claims, fulill the require ments and skin it of its timber as soon as possible. or else sell to some cor porion. This refers to legitimate filings under the act. In many cases these constitute a crime against the government-the tilers have been mere agents for lumber companies.
 There is much more to be said for the new regulations and so much to be siad against the old. that there appears to be just cause for regret that the new did not replace the old years ago.

The Parrots Response.

The Parrots Response.
 A maiden lady in England owned a parrot. which somehow acquired the disa4reenbie habit of observing Ut ire auent intervals. T wish the old lady would die" This annoyed the birds owner, who spoke to her curate about ie.
 '1 think We can rectify the natter" replied the good man. .'I also have a parrot. and he Is righteous bird. having been brought up in the way he should go I will lend you my parrot. and I trust his influence will reform that depraved bird of yours"
 The curate's parrot was placed In the same room with the wicked one. and as soon as the two had become ac- customed to each other the bad bird remarked, "I wish the old lady would die" whereupon the clergy mans bird rolled up his eyes and In solemn ac- cents added. "We beseech thee to hear US. good Lord.'
 The story got out in the parish. and for several Sundays 1t was necessary to omit the lltany at the church serv- Ices.

Who is Benefited by tine Timber
 and Stone Act!

\ news article in an issue of the Mining Journal, deals with the new regulations which the federal govern ment has prescribed for the disposal of government lands under the timber and stone act, and persons who read it cannot fail to note that revolution in procedure has been brouhs about: ::
 Heretofore under the provision of the timber and stone act all federal lands included by that ac. have been disposed of to the first tiler who has complied with the regulations, at a uniform price of g. JO au acre. In the future the lands will be sold at thier value as appraised by qualified gov ernnent agent.
 As matter of fact the government is in large measure locking the stable after the horse is gone. for while there remains q considerable acreage still open for SIing under the timber and stone act, most of the public do. main-and that part of 1t which had the greatest va)ue-has been pre- emp te by the fler. This is true particular Iy in the middle western states. In Michigan. for instance, there remains bus little land covered by the timber and stone ae. that is- worth taking up,
 The policy that the government has pov adopted is one that should have been adopted in the beginning. It has been the sale under the timebr and stone act. at the rate ots2 .O an acre, of government lands that has paved

He crosses the same rivers. surveys the same land scapes. observes the same phenomena of wind. temperature. storms. etc. that turtles ago. He wears more clothes than they wore, and he speaks differ ent language. and he Is serving ciyili- zation instead of barbarism.

 A certain sea captain had the repu- tation of being a cruel tyrant. but in reality he was kind hearted man, as the following incident will prove.
 In nidocean the cook approached the captain timidly.
 Captain" he said. "the men are growlin' about the beef. They say they can't chaw 1t nohow. They say it's only it to mend their sea boots with" s.s.
 How much beef are you givin' 'em, cookie!" the captain asked.
 "A pound apiece . day, sir." said the cook.
 Well" said the captain gently. give 'em half a pound apiece from now on. should be sorry to force 'em to eat what isn't to their taste."
