the glaciers in two ways--by erosion and deposition. Deposition has pro- duced the foreland fringe and minor accumulations of debris throughout the area. Erosion has broadened and deepened the fiords turcated the tribu- tary valleys and left them hanging above the main valleys, steepened and straightened the valley walls, lowered divides, and by irregular action left nunatak knobs standing above the otherwise smooth ford troughs.
 The glaciers that reach the shore
 are discharging lcebergs of various colors-white bergs form the ice walls above the se blue, often a beautl-
 ful Antwerp blue, from below the water; and black from the base of the glacier. In the warm sum mer air the blue bergs quickly wihten; one whose discharge was seen by Professor Tarr became completely whitened in less than twenty four hours. The following interesting description of typical iceberg discharge is given:
 ''First small piece fell from the face then pinnacle at the ice front rose 50 to 100 feet, reaching well above the surface of the glacier; it then slowly turned over into the ford, sending large fountain of water to a height of D or 100 feet. Immedi- ately another ice mass, clear and blue, arose from beneith the water's sur face, throwing it into renewed and still greater commotion, which lasted fully five minutes as the berg rocked to and fro. A great series of ring waves spread out for nearly ten min- utes, causing heavy surf on the coast to distance of at least 11a miles from the glacier. Prior to this fall there was almost no floating ice in front of the glacier; five minutes after the discharge of the iceberg there was a ring of very muddy water in which Hoated several thousand ice bergs of small size and six good-siz ed ores, all clean and free from dirt. The ring of icehergs kept spreading until it reached both shores, advanc- ing half mile in each direction in | about twenty minutes. The larger bergs, one of which was more that | loo feet long, rose at least 30 feet

An elaborate and important contri- button to the science of glaciology just published by the United States Geo.
 logical Survey as Professional Paper GA is entitled "The Yakutat Bay region, Alaska.
 Yakatat Bay lies at the base of the St. Elias Range, about 30 miles south- east of Mount St. Elias, where the international boundary strikes due north. It is the only harbor on the 300- mile stretch of comparatively straight coast line between Cross Sound, oppo- site Juneau, and Controller Bay.
 Along this coast the Fairweather and St. Elias mountains rise abruptly to great attitudes. At their foot, bordering these, is a lowland fringe or foreland of glacial debris. Numerous glaciers descend to the Yakutat Bay foreland the largest glacier. on the American mainland, the the Malas- pima, a broad ice plateau covering ap area as large as that of Rhode Island, lying northwest of the hay. Hubbard Glacier at the northernmost point of the bay is one of the finest examples of tidal glacier on the continent. The Yakntat Bay inlet has roughly the shape of bent arm with the shoulder at the ocean and the elbow at the foot of Hubbard Glacier. The outer portion is called Yakutat Bay. tn mountain walled strecth just south of the elbow Disenchantment Bay, and the forearm portion Russell Fiord. Among the high peak visible from the bay are Mount Hubbard, 16, 400 feet, Vancouver, 15,617 feet, and Cook, IA, TOO feet.
 The Yakutat region is preeminently one of glacial phenomena, the topo- graphy being characterized as ''ice drowned. The description of the origin, effects, present and former positions, and probable future history of tha olaciarc forms tha m ior Oa rt of the report. Professor Tarr states that the present glaciers are mere remnants of former ice floods which extended to the very mouth of Yakutat Bay Many of them are still actively nov Ing and some descend to the shore. The topography of the region has been profoundly modified by the action of

above the water"

This region contains some of the peculiar system called "through gla- ciers," the term meaning continu- ous ice-tilled valley from the terminus of one glacier to that of another across flat divide from which ice drainage flows in both directions.
 Some of the Yakutat Bay glaciers have recently (since l905) shown an advance so marked and rapid as to break the ice, interrupting a long period of quiet. This pennomon is considered by the author to be due to a great increase of the snow supply as result of earthquake shaking in l99, when great avalanches of snow and rock were thrown down from the mountains to the upper portios of the glaciers, starting a vigol ous wave of duNduCo W uOSo cIoOuo udsO ho" reached the lower portions. This is a new theory in glacial literature and it's discovery is due to the fact that the two expeditions of the author to this region went at the very time most favorable to study of the phenome- non. As the shaking down of quanti- ties of snow in the supply ground has removed the accumulatoas of many year. Professor Tarr considers that a period of distinct recession will follow the present notable advance. The application of this theory to other regions and the possible economic fleets of such sudden advances are briefly discussed.
 This volume contains numerous illustrations showing glacial and other phenomena and a geologic reconnais- ance map of the region. The Geologi- cal Survey has small edition for free distribution and copy can be had on application to the Director of the Sur vey at Washington, D. c.

Our attention has just been called to the destructive use of Alaska food ii sh in the manufacture of land fertil- izers. The wholesome Alaska herring are seined by millions and large companies are engaged in taking them for that purpose.
 These herring are the basis of all fish production. They are the natural food of pearly all the larger varieties and if they are destroyed by the fer tilizer manufacturer it will soon leave our waters barren of fish of any kind.
 The Atlantic coast cities have a yearly revenue of thousands of dollars from canning other herring and dis posing of them as domestic sardines. This is a business which will ulti- mately be taken up by the Pacific coast dealers.
 In the meantime every effort should be put forth to protect our fish. Can ada has refused to sell us bait and our fishermen must look to the home market.

nations. The consular flag in every land is honored and respected by the natives of the country unless they desire to invite rscriminations of the direst gravity and take this, the most provocative way of doing so. We are constantly hearing of so-called flag" incidents, where in some cases, condi- tions may have justified in part the actions of the more hotheaded. These, however can never be justified in their entirety, because, fundamentally dero- gatory of the dignity of International relations. The Union Jack will always and everywhere find a championship consonant with the institutions of which it is the emblem and to adopt measures which are otherwise than dlgnitied is tacit suggestion to others not of the Empire to diparage our Imperialism. But apart from this side ot the case such an incident as is recorded at Victoria is utterly beyond excuse or extenuatiop. It is an incen- tive to the worst form of lawlessness, one which involves the higher powers and gives birth to the smaller under standing which may eventually father grave discord between hitherto l friendly nations.

A news item in the Vancouver Daily New Advertiser of recent date says: ::
 ''The United States flag flies to- day from the United States Consulate and for the first time a Canadian flag hutters above it. An investigation regarding the outrage will be made. AS far as can be learned, following drunken squabble during the night two young men climbed to the roof of the Consulate and ran the Canadian flag up above the United States flag, which was reversed and hoisted in that position.
 In commenting editorallr upon the above incident tLe paper denounces the perpetrator of the insulting out rage in the following language:
 We hope that the perpetrator or perpetrators of the recent outrage at Victoria will be apprehended and awarded the punishment worthy o1 the offence. There are some vandals who quite fail to appreciate that it is not a scrap of bunting they are insult, ing when they take liberties with 6 flag. They insult what the flag repre- sents.

Mir. A. w. Thomas,

MT. A. w. Thomas,
 Sir:
 The receipt is acknowledged of your letter of 3lst. ultimo, in which you call attention to the use of herring and other food fishes in Alaska for fertilizing purposes. The Bureau is of the opinoin that the time has now come when the Alaska herring should not be used for. purposes other than food. The agents of the Bureau now in Alaska have been instructed to look into this matter very carefully with the object in view of determining the proper course to pursue hereafter.
 There is enclosed herewith a copy of the Alaska salmon law, and our attention is called to Section thereof. The use of herring for purposes other than food would doubtless besregarded as wanton destruction of valuable food fish and under such section such use of herring could properly be pro- hibited.
 Respectfully,

Are They Hewers
 Of Wood And
 Drawers of Water

The newspaper clipping relating
 the story of the Sioux Indians who
 competed with and beat the whites ir North Dakota county election, pub
 lshed in this paper last week, must
 have furnished funny reading to peo-
 pie familiar with affairs in this part of the world. Here the Indians have
 had no sem blance of tribal govern
 ment for many years. One of the last
 Indians in this part of Alaska to be
 tried by the law .ot his own people died several years ago, Moses of Ram
 part, who had lived for more than
 thirty years under sentence of banish-
 ment from his kind, and who it is
 worthy to note, made no effort to evade the sentence after the white regime had been inaugurated. When
 Indians go to law at all, here, they do it in the white mans court they
 marry according to the white mans law, and their children sometimes go to school with the white mans. White men marry Indian. women, and the relation is sanctiied by law. In the ordinary affairs of life no marked antipathy between the Indian and the races who have thrust themselves upon them can be discerned. sIn addi tion to the laws and traditions of the United States, the Treaty of Cession made special provision that flask" Indians, situated exactly as these now are, should be admitted to and gual anteed all the privileges of citizen ship.
 Yet to hint at the possibility If Alaska Indians ever attaining the status at present occupied by the Sioux, who were engaged in savage warfare long after their Alaskan brethren were living with the whites in peace and amity, would excite rid icule. Former Governor Brady, of missionary origin, in an official report. recommended that they be trained with view to make them 'hewers of wood and drawers of water'' for whites. It is strange that DO official has ever appeared to think of them except in relation to some form of white mans graft. A single exec tion may possibly exist in Hon. James Wickersham, who, while judge of the district court in 1903, when an Indian made application for naturali- zation, ruled that under the law and the Treaty of Cession he was already | a citizen and the court could neither add to nor take from his rights.
 Alaska has reached a point in mater. ial, political and social development where the legal status of its native population has become an important question. When it is solved it is hoped that the Indians will no longer be looked upon as fit only to furnish wives and concubnes to white men, ields of exploitation to missionaries, md ground for extraordinary emana- ions from the department of justice. -Tanana News.
