Washington, Aug. 1.-The conserva- tive element in the various govern ment departments believe that chief Forester Pinchot will have to resign on account of his ill advised atercation with Seer etary Ballinger.
 Mir. Balinger is innocent of the charge of working in the interest of the water power trusts as cnarg d by members of the forestry service and his innocence was established at the meeting of the irrigation congress. As Mir. Pinchot holds office under operation of the department of the interior, it is probable that his resig- nation will be asked for if he does not beat them to it by resign'ng.

Women are Hustling
 for Suffrage Votes

Seattle, Aug. 15-The men of Wash ington will have to tell how they stand on the equal suffrage question, for a canvas of all voters is to be made soon. The organization has been extended into each precinct with instructions from headquarters to ask every man whether he will vote for the suffrage amendment in November 1910, or not. Of course. MT. Voter can refuse to answer, but then the suffragists will be reasonably sure that he is against their cause. They are also raising a campaign fund, pledges ranging from 25 cents to $25 month, being sub scribed. Money is accepted from men and no questions are asked if it is tainted or not.

City and Federal
 Officers Get Together

The city council and the government officials are meeting each other in Cor dova and enjoying harmony banquets. The North Star says that at the coun- cil meeting last evening were c. D. Murane, district attorney of the Third division; United States Marshal Suli- van and Harrison B. Martin, assistant district attorney.
 Mayor Hazlet explained to the mem- bers of the council that these gentle men had been invited to attend so that all concerned could talk over and dis cuss matters in general pertaining to cooperating in every possible way. He knew it was the desire of the council to work in harmony with the government officials.
 Judge Murane replied that he did not believe there would be any friction between the two sets of officials. He thought the council should enact an ordinance covering practically all of the misdemeanors, drunk and disor- derly cases, etc., which would relieve the government of looking atfel these petty cases, and give the revenue to the city.
 Marshal Sullivan said that he had instructed his deputy to work in per- feet harmony with the city officials, and to cease patrolling the streets just | as soon as the council took ove: the city, but, on the other hand to make an arrest in case of disturbance or necessity arising at time when no other officer was about.
 | Mr. Martin called the attention of the council to point that is overlooked by most councils in Alaska, and that is to appoint some official who will look atfer and col lect license money from small business places, cigar stands, etc.
 Whittemore wanted to known about using the federal jail for city prisoners for the present. Marshal Sullivan said he has taken it upon his own responsibility to grant permission until he could hear from the depart ment of justice.

 One member of the association felt so enthused over the trip that he burst forth in song which is printed here- with.
 We've sailed thy placid inlands seas, We people from the south. We've breathed thy balsam-s scented As we passed the Dixon's mouth. The mountains of thy channels crowned With everlasting snow Like escorts ranged along our path To point the way to go. Hurrah, hurrah, Alaska was our goal Hurrah, hurrah, the people with a
 soul.
 We'll sound thy warmest praises From Panama to the pole As we sail away from Alaska. From Ketchikan to Treadwell's mills, From J'readwell to Juneau, From Juneau to Cordova's hills They kept us on the go. Where Valdez camps upon her trail, Where Stewards pine trees grow, We've met thy people, Alaska. Hurrah, hurrah, the land of many
 showers, Hurrah, hurrah, the land of sweet
 est flowers, Thy memory will stay with us As we journey to our homes, Respectfully leaving Alaska. We've seen thy mighty rivers How As we hunted for thy gold. We've climbed thy copper mountains, And we've laced thy glaciers cold. We've seen thy salmon humping Their way up rocky streams, And thy totem poles will haunt us As we lie down to our dreams. Hurrah, hurrah, we'll sound thy
 praises meet.
 Hurrah, hurrah, we leave with
 memories sweet. We're going to our homes once more, We're on our sad retreat To dream of thee, Alaska.

 Denver, Aug. 13-Fred Dennett, commissioner of the general land office, arrived here this moi hing enroute for Seattle. He says a hear ing will begin there within month which will disclose some gigantic coal 1 land frauds in connection with hun. dreds of entries made in Alaska. 1 Agents for tn. government have been quietly working in Alaska for months securing evidence of fraudulent tran sections and the best coal lawyers and engineers of the general land office have been assigned to prosecute the charges.
 The evidence so far obtained show that dummies have ben used by large companies to secure more than two hundred thousand acres of the richest coal lands. One of the coal com panies involved is located Tn Seattle, one ir New York and still others in Sar Francisco, Omaha and Chicago. Dunn. mics have been secured from the docks of Seattle and the mines of Butte ant wherever else they could be picked up to make the fraudulent entries.
 Criminal prosecutions will be insti tuted 'and-froms- the evidence in the hands of the government many convic. tions seem sure to result. The fraud: have been traced to paid agents of the corporations.

EDITORS WRITE POETICAL GUSH
 IN TELLING ABOUT ALASKA
They Get Back 10 Seattle and Can't Quit Talk
 ing About Our Wonders

The editors of the National associa tion got back to Seattle last week. B B. Herbert, pre- esident and founder O. the association says regarding the trip:
 "Most of us went to 4 laska for the purpose of mpathizing with the res idents of that Northern region over the hardships imagined in their exist ence. Returning, we are positive that the country present possibilities no' excelled on earth. We found at Sew ard half-acre garden form which a Scotchman had this season sold $500 worth of vegetables. At ketchikar we saw them taking fish in such quantities that the caEneries were turning out enough to insure great rev enue. We inspected the Treadwell mines, on Douglas island, where on the 1, 400 foot level, the rich mineral deposits grow steadily more valuable we saw gold and coal mines being developed with sureness that is con- vincing to us all that without other advantages an empire of wealth is available in Alaska.
 Coupled with the many commer- cial surprises met in Alaska, we were regaled with a voyage so magnificent with scenic features and nature's mar yels that the attention of the world must surely be attracted there as a new wonderland. No feature has been more pleasant than the generous hos pitality extended by citizens of every community visited"
 Supporting the statement of former President Herbert, Secretary w. F. Parrott, spoke enthusiastically of the endowment that marked ever hour ot the voyage. He predicts for Alaska, through its coal, gold and copper, fish, and wood pulp, future as one of the greatest countries of the world.
 On the passage north the North western called at Ketchikan, Tread well mines, Cordova, Valdez. Seward and Port Graham. At each of the cit les the brief stay allotted was given over 10 public receptions and entertain ment, with brief side trips into the interior. In this way trips over the Copper River x North hwestern railway, out of Cordova, and the Alaska Gen. tral, from Seward, were permitted. A vist to the Childs glacier was a

Lost, Strayed or Stolen. A who @ school. in fact regular university of fish marked "On have gone up the Naas River in British Colum ba. Upon investigation it is found that D o hatch cry in British Columbia marks their youngsters with O." Therefore, sine quod non propter. Q. E. D. they must have come from Alaska. Friends, roamers apd gentlemen, we are facing an appalling situation. Our British Columbia friends have failed to steal our fishing grounds and so they have shanghaied our fish. It will be well to anchor our mountains down or they will be gone also, some day.
 Every four years the mature salmon return to the fresh water in which they were spawned. Perhaps so but if so, our British Columbia friends have swiped some of our fresh water. Now we are not very touchy in the matter of fresh water for goodness knows we have enough water 10 hand out a few to our friends but we draw a line on our fish and it must be our line.
 There is one very touching incident conL ected with this national calamity, an incident pathetic in it's nobility. One lonesome fish was too patriotic to be lured by the wiles of British Columbia and refused to turn British. What makes her refusal so noble is that they said it does not rain so much In British Columbia. Notwith- standing this hefty argument, with patriotic impulse, with it's hump raised high in righteous indignation, one lone fish bumped its back on it's con- fades and steered for Metlakahtla, Alaska. It moves one to tears to think of the tragic end of this noble deter imitation, for in few hours after landing at Metlakahtla it was securely packed in tins awaiting its turn in the retort.
 Now what can we do in this matteri Our boasted international boundary inc must be sadly out of repair or else how could whole regiment o1 fish get through? Whom shall we hold for the export duty on those fish. II is scarce wise to get the fish back since our new tariff has doubled the duty on live fish. Wouldn't it be rict joke for the United States to raise young salmon to mature in British Columbia waters? A little too mucf maby. Guess we won't stand for that too much like Taxation without rep resentation. :"

Dramatic Story of
 Purchase of Alaska

department of state was quietly nego- tiatng treaty the importance oi which is just beginning to dawn upon the American people. Secretary Seward thought he saw real military and commercial advantage in the acquisition of Alaska. The heroic Cassius Clay, then United States min- ister to Russia, was sure of it. Rus sia was eager to turn over to the Uni ted States her American possessions. that our Pacific defenses might be carried northward and married to her own Asiatic Notifications at the point where the waters of the Arctic and the czar's lream. To Secretary Seward came an Arctic vision of great con- mercial reward in the development of vast seal and fish industries. People who had been there had reported to him that the country in all particulars was like Norway and Sweden. Scandi- navia had great cities, cultured capi- tals, valuable commerce, proud and industrious people, and happy homes. Would the great country through which flows the mighty Yukon some day parallel this? It might take cen turf es, perhaps; but the great unseen thirgs' have been the worlds most benignant boon. Concluding some friendly diplomatic dickering, Secre- tary Seward offered to the St. Peters, burg government s7, POO, GOO for their "Russan American. Even against the whole worlds unbelief at this price it was bargain.
 Hn the evening of Friday, March %, Mir. Seward sat in his parlor play ing whist with his family, when the Russian minister was announced. ''I have dispatch, MT. Seward, from my government by cable," said MT. Stoeckl, the Russian minister "The emperor gives his consent to the ces- sion. Tomorrow, If you like, l will come to the department and we can enter upon treaty.o Pushing aside the whist table, the impatient Seward replied with a smile of satisfaction Why wait till tomorrow-let us mak @ the treaty tonight''
 In these solemn hours the silent wilderness of centuries was released, and to nations pillowed ear the low north wind whispered "Gold." When the sun S rays fell upon the parch mont and the world vas told what that night had been done, the whole nation coup led the name of Seward with the epi- thet Fool" The press everywhere declared his ,acqpistion barren, worthless, God-forsaken region, whose crops were "icebergs, Va country where the ground was frozen ,.sx feet deep in summer,.''. the st' cams were "glaciers'' it should be named Wal russia'' the fish were only fit for Eskimo food" it was fools bar gain' "Oh, the shrewd Russians, {" etc., etc., etc.
 In the half century that has passed since the senate ratified that treaty, this "icicIe has produced a wealth exceeding $35O, GOO, GOO, or nearly loo per cent a year on the fools invest iment."
 Alaska's exhau stless storehouse of precious metals was the lure that drew the argonaut, as did California in '49 and Nevada in the winter of '50. Seat tie grew great from this argonautic traffic-.from swapping picks and pans and warm woolen garments for bags of fresh washed nuggets. Its rapid growth and perfect stability have fas- tened upon it's people the chronic afl iction of inhammatory enthusiasm. l-Collier's.
