 Must the period of his stay have been fifteen or twenty years? Still We have many of them, and more than that there are those who have lived in this land of gold for a quar- ter of a century and even more-who have seen their chudrens children grow to manhood and womanhood, marry; and little children of white parents themselves born in Alaska are climbing on grandpa's lap and wondering whether they belong to the class which stands between Alas ka and her rights. And then an off clal in high rank, without such a thing as a visit to the Southeastern section of the district makes the as sertion that includes them all, the people of Alaska, are not permanent Douglas Island News.

in the North the repeated trips to the States may be attributed to the fact that money is more plentiful tba it is in most new countries. But it has become proverbial that those who leave Alaska always come back.
 But what is necessary that a resi-. dent of Alaska may be considered permanent" that is permanent enough that he may be considered a good citizen, one qualified to have voice in making the laws which he must obey and which will affect con ditions under which he and his child Ten must live? Must he have lived here five years? Many thousands have done that. Must he have suf- fered the nconyeniences of this mis- governed land for ten years? Thou

PERmANENcE

One of the stock arguments against home rule for Alaska is the state ment that the population of this Northern territory lacks permanence. In other words the people of the North are denied the right to make their own laws because they don't stay in one place. Is this right or is it not? Are the people of Alaska less settled than the settlers who have gone forth to other new lands? Who is 1t in Alaska that is not con sidered permanent?
 It is generally agreed that the life ot a placer camp is limited Alaska has placer camps that have waxed great in productiveness and popula, uon. and have begun to wane as the deposits of precious metals are ex. hausted. In fact, the very sections that have been devoted to placer mining promise soon to develop quartz mInes-a more permanent in- dustry at least,
 Another class which is perhaps in- cluded among the fleeting population Of Alaska is the employees of canner- les and fishing companies who are hired annually in Seattle and San Francisco and are brought to Alaska for a short season in the summer. Many of them are Chinese and Japan csc. and such are no more citizens of Alaska than of the United States cities that supply them.
 Outside of the classes mentioned where does the lack of permanence come in? In every new country ther are those who come and. overcome by the longing for the home land, go. The people who come to Alaska are not exceptional in this respect In some new countries the early settlers stay for the reason that they never get enough money to get out, Here

CABLE CHARGES TOO HIGH.

Aaskan5 are deeply interested in the report of the chief officer of the United States signal corps in Alaska, says an Alaskan exchange. Epitom- ized these figures show that the gov erument telegraphic system in Alas. ka during the last five years has not only paid back to the treasury depart meut every dollar invested, but pro, it of s53O,19O.37 has been added to Che government cofters. The figures telegraphed from Washington are as follows:

 Since the profit of half a million dollars. over and above the cost of construction and upkeep. has been made. 1t is probable that a concerted movement win be made for a substan- tial reduction in the telegraphic rates between Seattle and Alaskan points.
 AlasEaus contend that their tele- graphic rate is more than 200 per cent higher than the rates charged by the Western Union and Postal tel eyraph companies. The rate charged by the government from Seattle to Nome. a distance of 2,64o miles. is s3.SO for ten words. while a telegram Of the same length can be sent from Seattle to New York. a distance Of 2.SOa miles. for sI.OO The rate over the government lines from Seattle to Fairbanks, a distance of 1880 miles, is S3.3O. while the cost of sending a message over the lines operated by private enterprise from Seattle to Chi cago. a distance of IS4O miles is only @ cents.

To R. F. D. Patrons.

Washington, Jan. 2s.-The
Postmaster-Sir: In view of the
extent to which the practice of
placing loose coins in boxes by
rural patrons has grown, and
the delay in the delivery and col
lection Of mail and the hardship
imposed on rural carriers incl
dent thereto, you are informed
that, commencing February Is,
proximo, rural letter carriers
will not be required to collect
loose coins from rural mail
boxes.
Patrons should enclose coins in
an envelope, wrap them securely
in a piece of paper. or deposit
them in a coin-holding recep-
tacle, so they can be easily and
quickly taken from boxes, and
carriers will be required to lift
such coins, and. where accom-
panied by mail for dispatch, at
tach the requisite stamps.
This should be promptly an
nounced to the rural patrons
=
through whatever means you
may employ, without expense to
the department, and you are at
liberty to give the information
embodied herein to your local pa
pers for publication, if they so
desire. Respectfully,
P. v. DeGraw,
4th Asst. Postmaster Gen.

DR.. Brown Honored.

Al the annual meeting Of the
trustees of the Johns Hopkins
Hospital of Baltimore, the trus-
tees headed by Judge Henry D.
Harlan, President, reviewed the
work done in the hospital the
past year. Nearly five thousand
persons were admitted for treat
Fment in 1909, with a mortality OF
5.62 per cent.
Referring to the proceedings
of the Board, a daily paper of
that city says: Only one change
in the hospital staff was announ-
ced, and that was the appoint
ment of DR.. George L. Brown as
assistant resear CHI worker in the
Phipps tuberculosis dispensary.
DR.. Brown, who is a graduate of
the Tulane University, New
Orleans, has been studying at
the hospital a few months, dur
ing which time his work attrac-
ted attention from the author
tiles. The appointment is con-
sidered a recognition of his
worth"
The friends Of DR.. Brown ap-
preciate the distinction that has
come to him in this appointment.
His ability is of high order and
The will win his way wherever
merit and ability is recognized.
