MIR. sALLAlNE's FURNISHING
 PROPOSAL

Last week John E. Ballaine of Se- atue the founder of Seward and of the Alaska Central railroad, and who was incidentally, nicely euchred out of bis holdings, made a proposal to Congress that he be given lease on 5000 acres Of coal lands and pay the government royalty of fifty cents a ton on au coal mined
 It is estimated that this would net the government a revenue of several billion dollars. Mir. Ballaine offered to give bond of slOOOOOO to show his good faith and he is said to have sound financial backing.
 This Is the best proposition we have as yet heard concerning the Alaskan coal fields. In fact it is the only bus mess like offer the government has been made. All other claimants have been trying to get the coal lands for nothing. and in addition there is a strong suspicion that the means en- ployed have been fraudulent
 Mir. Ballaiue will develop the coal fields and at the same time he will pay vast revenue to the government in return for the coal. This very idea that the coal fields should be mined on royalty basis was suggest ed by. The Alaskan as long ago as last summer and We have consistently maintained that 1t is the only fair way to develop the coal fields of AL aska. These vast potential resources should not be given outright to any il dividual or corporation. but should be made to pay at least a portion of their wealth to the government
 It will be interesting to note what action is taken on Mir, Ballaine's of. fer. Already the Cunninghams and several others have registered vigor- ous objections accounted for only by the fact that they want the same coal fields without paying royalties or the output.

A MEETING OF PROTEST

Today's press dispatches contain the announcement that movement ls under way to hold convention at Valdez for the purpose of framing vigorous protest against the passage of the. Beyerldge bill No doubt we shall receive fuller announcement of the details in the near future
 Probably it will prove impractical to actually send delegates to the Val deg conference, but the people of skagway can come together, formulate a protest, select delegates and have them cable their proxies to Valdez. This will suffice for the purposes of the movement.
 The proposal of a general protest against the Beverldge bill throughout Alaska Is commendable. At the pres ent time the bill is before Congress. Delegate wickersham is doing all in his power to prevent the passage of this unpopular and unjust measure and he is entitled to the assistance of the people of Alaska.
 In urging the passage of the bill 1t will be said and accepted for the truth unless we contradict it, that the people of Alaska are passive and are not generally opposed to the Bever- idge bill. It behooves us to show Compress exactly where We stand.
 No one who knows the temper of the people of Alaska will for an in stapt doubt that an emphatic protest will be registered against the bill
 Let the people of skagway stand foremost in this protest, Let our meeting be a mass meeting in all tha the words imply and let our protest be-emphatie and unanimous.

days by the academy tailor, and Bud"
Remington, as his associates came to
call him, took his place in the awll@
ward squad and began the task OF
mastering the elements of military
science contained in Upton's 'Tnfan-
try Tactics.
Frederic Remington spent two full
academic years at the academy. AS a
student of books he was undoubtedly
lazy but he had not a drop OF slowly
moving blood when IL came to carry ;
ing musket on the parade ground.
He was no sluggard, either, when IL
came to athletics or when there was
any prospect OF fun or frolic. In his
school work, he excelled, strange to
say, in the very subject In which the
average boy fails. namely. the clear
expression Of vigorous English
Also, he had developed a passion for
drawing pictures. He had not received
any instruction in art. but his sketches
were. marked by originality and free
dom from copying, and he showed the
same inclination to deal with the
tough, the cowboy, the bronco, the In
dian, and the soldier that he did in
after life.

Even life cannot actuate and animate
something which is not there. Thus
an individual may lose his power of
speech and still live He may wipe
out all memory and still be able to
go about without any apparent out
ward change. These conditions are
indeed due to distortion of disturbance
of what the scientist calls cells but
suppose a man dies? If the brain
be Immediately examined there is no
great change in the cells-save only
the one great and impenetrable mys-
terry that life is lacking. Even before
the cells of memory have broken down
they have ceased to remember be-
cause life has gone out of them.
What then is this mysterious thing
life? 1t is the soul! When we die
1t is still invisible, but surely it is
some where. Science says there is no
waste. All material resolves itself in
to its component parts, but when
death takes place there is no science
which can determine what has be-
come of the divine force which we
call life. 1t is even more tangible
than thought, for thought is due to
the action of the brain cells
Too much study has robbed the
great scientist of one of the finest
joys of life-the joy of the belief that
this life is but a beginning. His big
brain and wonderful science will not
die with him. The cells will decay,
but the "ego"-the will live on.
Some day he viii, perhaps, complete
the studies which he has but begun
here. With his master grasp of cleo
trical forces he is almost a master Of
life and death.
Perhaps this belief in the death of
the soul is part of the divine plan
lest in his almost wizard intuitions he
should drag the secret of life and
death into the glare of human under
standing. 1t is not part of the great
plan that we should know this yet.
But the belief that this life is but a
great training school for greater lives.
and greater knowledge to come, is one
that makes man endure what seems
great injustice without a cry of bitter.
ness and revenge
To feel that all the lessons learned
here will be Of value i'm some future
