so SAY VIE

It just makes my blood boil with indignation, as it does all true Al askans, 10 get to talking about AL aska' s treatment at the hands of the government. It is little short of an outrage that men who have spent the best years of their lives in the North, developing the re- sources ot the country, adding something real and tangible to the wealth of the nation, cannot secure coal even to heat their houses, to say nothing of coal to develop still further the natural resources. The government takes position which makes it appear that we are at tempting to steal something when we try to secure coal claims. Even the men who have made Alaska the valuable possession it is, get nothing but the worst kind Of treat ment. Martin Harrais in Wran- gell Sentinel.

THE LURE OF THE NORTH

Judging from the class of labor arriving on the boats this spring for railroad construction consider able caution is being exercised in this direction. The men who have landed on the late boats are of the class which comes north for the purpose af doing things.
 Fine. strong men, mostly young fellows. with the glow ot health on their cheeks and ambition in their hearts. Such men as these usually find Alaska a good place to tie to. and many of these youngsters will be found years hence numbered among cur substantial citizens.

 This latter statement will be of especial interest in view of the admission Of the local Gugg organs that s, ,0Oe, ,000 was spent in experiments at Katalla.
 In conclusion Major Richard son said:
 It would, therefore, in my opinion, be far better if the gov ernlaent would take the matter in hand and utilize these re sources, if necessary, to guaran- tee the interest on the bonds of actual construction along lines that will aid in the general de yeIopment of the territory; not interfering with, but giving aid rather, if desired, under proper restrictions. to any bona ide pri- Vate enterprise. .

LAKES OF ALASKA

The lakes of Alaska are probably chiefly of glacial origin, but some. similar to the basin l0wlands. may have been formed by the damming Of drainage channels by local warp ings. The lakes of glacial origin have been secured out by ice action or damned by moraines.
 The largest Alaska lakes, Clark and Iliamna, lie just west of Cook Inlet, and are separated from Pa CitiC waters by the northern end of the Aleutian range It has been suggested that lakes Clark and Iii anna may be due to rock barrier caused by local crustal move ment, Lake Iliamna seems. how ever, up to very recent times to have been an arm of the sea, and may owe its origin to the damming by by river deltas.
 Lake Minchamina, lying north vest of the Alaska range, is prob ably of glacial origin, for though it is unsurveyed 1t is known to lie close to the northern limit of glacia- ton. There are also a number of large lakes ill the upper Kobuk val ley and q glacial origin has been assigned to them. Chandler lake, at the head of the Colville, in the absence of evidence to the contrary may also be provisionally classed with the glacial lakes.
 The origin of Lake Kluane and the lakes lying east and north in adjacent regions of Canada is prob ably closely connected with the ex- tensive changes in drainage which have taken place in this region dur ing and since the glacial epoch. The larger lakes through which the Lewes river flows are probably caused by local wa1pings.

UNIONS NOT TO BLAME

Dealing with the increased cost of living, Irving Fisher, of Yale, says that so far as American statis- tics show, such as those of Brad street and the Department af Con- merce and Labor, wages have risen only about half .as fast as the cost of living.
 If it were true that the increasing demands of labor unions, by in- creasing the cost of producing com modities, had resulted in a general increase Of prices, these would sure ly have risen more slowly than wages. The facts, however, show that the cost of living has increased about twice as fast as wages, and this seems to be approximately the rule during any period of rising prices.
 In other words, during rising prices the laborer is the loser. h fact, his strikes and insistent de- mands .or higher wages represent belated attempt to overtake the ad- vancing cost of living. Labor dis putes and demands are thus an al- most invariable accompaniment of rising prices, but they are effects of rising prices, not causes

HaVe Prevented Railroad Con-
 StruCtiOn in Alaska
MAJOR RICHARDSON'S REPORT
lays Blame for NoH-Go1st'uCtI0n of Rail-
 roads Upon the Corporation Which
 Objected to Government Aid for Alas kan Railroad COnStruction---The Guggs

While the local trust papers are taking up tAe cause of the Morganhcims. it k interesting to read the annual report of the road commission, wherein Major Richardson points out hat much money is squanderod on town site and other Speaulations, which should he R>ad for rail road construction
 Dealing with the suggested ap- propriations in aid of Alaskan railroads Major Richardson says:
 Generally when this subject has been brought before con gress in the past one or more representatives Of some private enterprise have appeared before the committee in opposition and have stoutly asserted that the said enterprise was prepared 10 build railroad into Alaska without assistance from the gov ernnent, and seeming to leave the impression that their tprO- Dosedl road was the only one needed for the territory x deVel- opment.
 While Maj Richardson names no names, his statement recalls the fact that it was bUasted sev~ eral years ago by the Guggen- helms that they wanted no aid and none was necessary for the Copper river line, nor for any other legitimate enterprise. This defeated the efforts of the Alas ka Central to obtain a govern ment guaranty of interest on its bonds
 Discussing the advance made in railroad building during the past few years, the major adds:
 An unbiased inquiry into the progress of these various enter pfises during the last few years and into the situation as 1t eX- ists today, will show that com paratively little advance has been made toward the fultilment of such assertions so far as the needs of the country at large are concerned, which needs do not always lie along the lines as heretofore stated where private enterprise naturally seeking early and safe returns is most likely to make investments; aud such inquiry will always show that several millions of dollars, drawn from investors in differ ent parts of the world have been needlessly wasted through var ious causes, such as the lack of proper information in advance, conflicting local information in respect to terminals and town sites, and through the selfish ends of ambitious promoters. This is not intended as a reflec tion upon any person now ac- lively engaged in the work of constructing any road in the ter ritory, but it can scarcely be doubted that this former vast age in the event of any particu- lar roads being put through to the point where it will be on a paving basis will then become a

tion will be called as requested. We
shall follow the procedure prescribed

COUNTY TAX LEVY
WILL Be REDUCED
Excise Board Will Meet Saturday,
Assessment Approved by State
Board = Total Valuation
Over $21, 100000

That the tax levy for the support Of
county government in Grady county
will be al least one-third less than 1t
was last year is the opinion expressed
by Joe Lindsay. the county clerk.
last year our county levy was six
mills and it looks like we shall be
able 10 get along with four mills or
less this year said Mr.. Lindsay.
4 think the local levies for school
and township and other purposes win
also be greatly reduced, continued
the county clerk. 9Iu my opinion the
new law requiring estimates to be
made as basis for making levies is
one Of the best ever written. It means
greater economy all along the line and
insures against excessive levies. For
example, here Is one school distsrict
out in the county which estimates 5000
for janitors salary. OF course the ex-
else board viii not make levy for
that amount for that purpose, and the
same applies to other items. The vari-
GUS school boards. township and niu-
nicipaI authorities have carefully fig
ured out their needs and the excise
board will make the levy upon the
estimates, according to their best
Judgment"
The county excise board will meet
next Saturday for the purpose Of maxi
ing the levies for all purposes.
Assessment Is o. X.
Mr. Lindsay has received a letter
from N, E. Trapp, state auditor say
ing that the assessed valuation Of Ora
dy county as returned BY the commits
sioners setting as board Of equaliza-
tion has been approved by the state
board, no changes being made.
Being restrained by court orders, the
state board Of equalization has not re-
turned valuations for the public aerv-
ice corporations in the county, and
therefore the valuations fixed last year

added to the personal and real prop
erty valuations the total assessed value
