Damning Alaska

 With respect to Alaskan resources at least, the "conservationists" have come from under, says Mining Science. The evidence that they were rapidly doing so led us to remark recently that con- servatiouism was merely disguise. In the last days of the recent session of congress, Senator La Toilette uttered an elaborate argument in favor of gov ernment ownership of railroads, coal mines and other industries of expected magnitude in Alaska. Mir. La Toilette does not go SO far as some others, for he is willing that the coal fields should be exploited under lease from the government; but the senator from Washington, Mir. PoindeXter. asks in bill lately presented thatthe coal lands of the Boring River field shall be re. served rron sale or entry. It Is part of his proposal that the war depart ment shall undertake the mining and marketing of the coal Poor Alaska has come into public notice so late that she must bear the burden of all the modern yagaries concerning the owner ship and control of industry. The public ownership of railroads, mines and other industries ill the United States proper being d subject which the shining reformers dare not touch on, they are driven to exercise themselves upon the infant commonwealth of the extreme Northwest. If it is necessary that the government shall build or own railroads, or that it shall engage ia the coal business, why not begin with the Pennsylvania and Reading sy>tems, while incidentally buying out the an- thracite and bitumiuous fields of the Quaker state?
 The much used term conservation" has come ta mean, in the minds of pol. iticians, che prevention of private ownership of anything that has thus far escaped this destiny. In their mo- ments of professed frankuess, such "conserVatlouists" intimate desire to prevent the monopoly of the resources of Alaska and other western regions. But the fact is that the proposals cited are clearly in aid of monopoly" Only highly concentrated capital will be able 10 reap benefit from the restric- tions that the government is asked to ! impose upon Alaskan development, for it alone will be able 10 meet the con ditions.
 Even Secretary Fisher of the depart ment of the interior, in a reported in- ter7iew at Valdez, asserts that absolute government ownership and operation of coal mines and transportation lines is the only alternative to the leasing system. Inasmucb as the former policy will not meet with the approval of the public, the leasing of coal lands, accord ! ing to the administration, is likely to be pushed through Even SO far as the leasing policy is concerned, it is diff cult to understand why this should be imposed upon Alaska alone of all the western territory in which the govern ment retains control over public lands. Agaln it is the case of the helpless in- 1 fant getting the worst of it.

Sweet Girl In Error When She Imag-

She imagined his room with her
photograph smiling down at him from
over the mantel, while another Of her
photos looked demurely at him from

She could see him often standing in

king VOWS Of constancy and fidelity.
She knew he would rather part with
anything he had than those likenesses.
But they had quarreled and she felt
she must ask him to return her photo
graphs, and she wrote him accord
ingly.
When she received his reply she
nearly tainted. Here is what the
wretch wrote:
Dear Mabel: I would like awfully
much to return your photos, but, hon.

FOUND RIGHT PATH
After a False Start.

TN 1890 I began to drink coffee.
Sat that time / was healthy and en-
joyed life. At first I noticed no bad
effects from the indulgence but in
course of time found that various
troubles were coming upon me.
"Palpitation of the heart took unto
itself sick and nervous headaches, kid
ney troubles followed and eventually
my stomach became so deranged that
even a light meal caused me serious
distress.
"Our physicians prescriptions failed
to help me and then / dosed myself
with patent medicines till / was thor
oughly disguised and hopeless.
Finally l began to suspect that cot
fee was the cause of my troubles. lex

for one small cup at breakfast. This
helped some but did not altogether re-
lieve my distress. 1t satisfied me,
however, that / was on the right track.
$50 / gave up coffee altogether and
began to use Postum. In ten days /
found myself greatly improved, my
nerves steady, my head clear, my kid
neys working better and better, my
hearts action rapidly improving, my
appetite improved and the ability to
eat a hearty meal without subsequent
suffering restored to me. And this con-
dition remains.

and dressed for dinner, unattended.
Absorbed in anticipations of the NOR"
row, when first he should set foot IN
Calcutta and take the first step IN
pursuit of Sophia Farrell, he had
absent-mindedly neglected to empty
the pockets Of his discarded clothing.
AT seven he had gone to dinner, leav-
ing his stateroom door open, as was
his habit-a not unusual n with
f1rst-cabin passengers on long voyages
and his fiannels swinging from
hooks in the wall. About eight, dis
covering his oversight through the
absence of his cigarette case, he mao
hurried back to the stateroom to as
cover that he had been curiousiy
robbed.
His watch, his keys, his small
change and his sovereign purse, his
silver cigarette case-all the articles
in fact, that he was accustomed to
| stuff into his pockets-with one ex-
ception, were where he had left them
But the leather envelope containing
the portrait Of Sophia Farrell was
missing from the breast,pocket OF MS
coat.
From the hour in which he had OBJ
tanned 1t he had never but this once
let it out Of his personal possession
| The envelope he had caused to be con
| structed for Its safe-keeping during
| his enforced inaction in London. he
had never once looked at It save in
strict privacy, secure even from the
eyes Of Doggott; and the latter dld
not know what tho leather case con
tanned.
Thus his preconceived and self-con'
structed theory as to the exteEt o.
The Enemy's knowledge, was In an IN
Giant overthrown. They" had seizec
the very first relaxation Of his vigl
lance to rob him of that which he
valued most. And In his heart he
feared and believed that the inciden'
indicated their" intimacy not alone
with his secret but with that which ne
shared with Colonel Farrell.
Since then his every move toward
regaining the photograph had beef
fruitless.
In the end, and in despair, Ambel
posted a notice on the ships bulle
tin board, offering so gvineas reward
for the return OF the photograph t.
