What Alaska Needs
 Is More Rain

Contrary to popular ideas, the chief obstacle in the way of large and increasing gold output from Alaska is the lack of water. Over the whole of Seward Peninsula winch produces fourth of the gold of the Territory, and in most of the interior as well, the climate is mparatively arid, except in small mountain areas. The total yearly precipitation ranges from 10 to p or 30 inches, and as much of this comes in the form of snow, which melts and runs off in a few days in the spring. the discarge of the streams becomes very small in an ordinarily dry summer.
 The operation of the gold placers in Seward Peninsula had by 1906 reached such stage of development that their future success was largely dependent on the possibility of mining large bodies of relatively low grade gravel. The most common method of working such ground has been by hydraulicking, for which large and steady supply of water under high head is a necessity. To obtain such supply large number of ditch es were built, many of them long and con- structed at great expense, without first making sure that they could obtain an adequate water supply. The results of such policy were for cibly shown during the last three summers, particularly in 1908, when the severe drOughts caused much loss. For this season the United States Geological Survey his engaged in the work of procuring oata by which the miners may be able to esti- mate with reasonable accuracy just what water supply they can count
 upon. Hydraulic developments have been carried farthest in southern Seward Peninsula. Attention was first given to this region and tho results of the. work ef~ 1906 and. 1907 were published. A supplementary report giving the statistics up 10 date has just been issued by the Sur-

Department Rules

The department regulations for hunting in Alaska are not generally understood and the office of Governor Hoggatt has furnished the following as guide to those intending to ship trophies from this territory.
 Residents of Alaska do not need a license to hunt big game, such as moose, brown bear, etc. during the open season. Non.residents who are citizens, must pay hunting license of $50. Non-resdents, who are not citi- zeps of the United States, must pay a license fee of Sl0O
 l For shipping trophies residents oI Alaska hy purchasing shipping license costing $40 are allowed to ship one moose head, provided the moose was killed north latitude 62 deer, , carb bou, ? sheep. goats and bro sn. | bear.
 A BIO shipping permit allows the resident citizen to ship one head or any part Of caribou or sheep. l For &5 esident is allowed to ship one head of a goat, deer or brown | bear.

 Moose killed south of latitude 6. must pay special shipping license ol $l50 The reason for this is that the moose of Kenai peninsula are the :larg- est and, finest in the world and the gov ernment is trying to protect them.

The political cauIdron in Pierce county, Washington, is beginning to boil merrily. The unfortunate death of Congressman Cushman has thrown things into tumble and there is no means for predicting the outcome. The Republicans are rent by two factions, one of which is headed by Governor Hay and Senator Paulhamus. They are bitter enemies and the chances are that no common ground will be reached. As result of this ruction the Dem ocrats believe they have a good chancs to and representative to Co gress and they are casting about for man who will be able to get votes. AS there are many persons who want to slap the Republican party for it's dilatory tactics on the tariff, the Democrats seem strength ened in their position. The situatio T is the most interesting that has con- fronted the state politically for a long time.

Manager Simpkins of the Juneau baseball team is in receipt of letter from manager Ed J. Williams of the Ketchikan baseball team, in which the latter asks if it would be possible for the Juneau team to come to Ketchikar about August 15 or 16 for a series ol three games. The Ketchikan team will guarantee transportation and entertainment and will post side bet of $l00 or better. Manager Will Hams suggested that the Juneau team might charter the Georgia and bring a number of rooters with them from Juneau, but this would be impossibl as the Georgia is out of commission. The local manage ement has taken the challenge under consideration and, if accepted, it is most likely that some launch will be chartered to take the team to Ketchikan, as it is but a twenty four. hour run. - Junaeu Record.
