There is noth ing so far to indicate that the com mittee did not make q wise selection and the operations of the next few weeks will be watched with eXccp- tiunal interest

CONSISTENCY.

There is only one disquieting fea- ture in the home rule situation. said the Times editorially on Saturday, and that is that the corporations. which are alleged to be working tooth and nail against home rule, are now reported to be working for local legislature for Alaska.

 It is to laugh.

STAGNANT ALASKA.

Coal parties in imitation of tho Boston Tea Party are being intro duced into Alaska. The people are greatly dissatisfied with their treat them. and there is much ground for their complaints and protests. Alaska is a land of mighty economic opportunity. but il does not grow, Its population in 1900 was 63.592, and in 1910 il was 64 .356 The coun- try needs laws that will permit its development on terms that will be reasonably profitable to those who invest their capital in it. In his mes sage of last December President Taft said
 "A great many millions of dollars have already been expended in the construction of al least two rail. roads. and if laws be passed provid- ing for the proper development of the resources of Alaska. especially for the opening up Of the coal lands, invested will induce the investment of more capital. sufficient to com plete the railroads building and to furnish cheap coal not only to Alas ka but to the whole Pacific coast. The passage of law permitting the leasing of government coal lands in Alaska after public competition, and the appointment of commis- sion fer the government of the terri tory. with enabling powers to meet the local needs, will lead to an i'm provement in Alaska and the devel- opment of her resources that is like ly to surprise the country
 Here is at least the outline of practical scheme. Why nothing is done nc one knows. The issue is not at all new For a number of years stagnation has prevailed in Alaska in spite of occasional efforts to se- cure the passage Of laws that would lead to immediate activity and result in widespread benefit. From some quarters there has come a vocifer- Ously expressed fear that if anything is done to disturb in any way the condition of stagnation a grasping horde of coal barons and copper kings. railway barons lumber lords and other varieties of fiscal nobility will make some money by processes that will increase the wealth of thousands and add to the comfort and we'll being of tens of thousands. The rabid conservationists would lock up Alaskas measurelesS wealth until the crack of doom rather than let those who alone are able to make that wealth available take their toll. whether large or small. for the risk of their capital.
 Laws making possible the utliza- tion of Alaska's resources would be worth more to the country than two or three such tariff bills as that now under discussion in the house. - New York Sun.

Bond Election Next

At meeting of the Board of Trus- tees on Wednesday evening last which meeting was attended by a large number of the taxpayers of the district, a decision was feached to call bond election in the district for the issuance of bonds in the sum Of S40,0OO. It was the concepsus of opinion at the meeting that the bonds should be issued for period ot twenty years and bear interests at the rate of six per cent per annum.
 The proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used for the construction of two grammar school buildings and a high school building. It is proposed to build a new grammar school on Chase Creek, one on Shannon Hill and a High School building to cost approximately S2O,OG0. The location of the High School building has not yet been decided and it's location vii probably be left to d decision of the voters of the district at an election to be called for that purpose.
 Without additional buildings the school trustees are urable to cope with the crowded conditions of the public schools. Permanent relief must be afforded aud the proposed bond issue is the only feasible, and pra ctical remedy afforded.
