 will be popular this year in Congress and those to whom the West and Nortt. look to lead off in the move for the much needed laws are already busy IT. that direction. Representative Sulzer expects to introduce home govern meut bill for Alaska and following that, he will draw up nun Der of othec measures which he decided were need ed on his recent northern trip. Sena> tor Jones introduced home govern ment bill at last session, and says that Alaskan legislation and the light for, free tells on the Panama canal wla be two of the foremost objects of hlS labor this winter. On every hand are heard expressions of approval of Score tary Fishers coal land plans.
 During his trip to Alaska Secretary of the Interior Fisher says he encoun~ tered democratic reactiouary, who had for long time sought title to his coal claims, without result. He com plaiued to the secretary, saying: 'I shall get out of this damned country. Every republican administration that comes in makes it harder for man to get along, and Pm tired of it." To this the secretary made an amiable sug- gestion: "Hold on a little while longer" said he cheerfuly. "See if democratic administration will not come along and help you out. Your party is talking pretty big just now" "My partyl Shoot" snorted the irate democrat. "The democrats remind me of the salmon in these Alaskan waters. They only run once in four years, and then they get canned.'
 Any report of tin production in | North America, which is not renowned ss a source of this much-desired metal. is sure to attract notice, however small the achievement may seem, says Min ing Science. One mine in Texas, dur. Iing the lest year, furnished the only continuous output of bullion that this continent has record of; but word is now received of the apparently suc- cessful beginning of tin dredging in the Buck Greek district, near Cape York, off Boring strait. A shipment of 93 tons of stream tin, which arrived at Seattle last week is taken to indicate permanent establishment for next year. The trial run of modt- fled gold dredge was completed lasi month, the product for less thaufthirR days being placed by one authority at I70 tons. The value of the Seattle con- signment of s3 tons is placed at about $47,009. An apparently reliable state. ment places the cost of dredging equipment at less than S40O00, not. withstanding the machinery was haul ed twelve miles from seaboard over the tundra. Thus the initial cleanup ex- ceeds the outlay for equipment. A further interesting point is that the dredge also recovers enough gold to cover operating costs. The tin product is represented as being of the highest quality. The tin dredge was built in San Francisco and it arrived in Alaska during August. Operations for tin have been conducted for several years in the Cape Mountain regionin south ern Alaska, near Cape Prince of Wales, the work here being in lodes. Uoa- centrates have been shipped dffront hers, but the production has neither 6aem .lagge nor regnlar,

Capt. J. C. Hunter, or the steamship Northwestern, who showed great skill in navigating his vessel through sue cession of gales on the voyage down from Alaska ports, was presented with a gold watch by committee of the Northwestern's passengers in the office of President J. B. Young, of the Alaska Steamship company, at Seattle. The watch bears this inscription: "Pre- sented to Capt. J. c. Hunter by the passengers of the steamship North western, voyage 55, December 2. 1911, as a token of appreciation of his splendid seamauship"
 Representative Humphrey has intro duced bill in the House providing for the abolition of all charges for hand ling Alaska geld at the Seattle assay office Efforts towards this end have been caused by an order of the treas ury department that after January l assayiug charges at the Seattle office shall be virtually dou bled, although similar advances are not ordered at other offices. The advanced rate was ordered into effect last summer, but through President Taft it was suspend ed until January. Mr. Humphrey will urge early consideration of his bill, as he believes an iditional charge would drive Alaska miners away from Seattle when coming out with their gold.
 Dissatisfaction is expressed because of the small estimates included in this years book submitted to Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury, for ad- ditional lighthouse establishments in Alaskan waters. The only item of this nature included in the book is Sll5,000 for light and fog signal at Cape St. Elias. Better protection of life along the Alaskan coast is one of the princi. pies for which the recent Alaskan movement in Coast cities is,pledged to fight, and their influence doubtless will be felt when theSfinal appropriation bill is framed. Other estimates are: Edu cation of Alaskan natives, S284,000; care of reindeer in Alaska, S12.000; road and bridge construction in Alaska, S1O0OO0; Washington-Alaska cable system, S50,00.
 Repairs to the steamship Humboldt, of the Humboldt Steamship company, which was slightly damaged by Ere at her berth,at pier ' at 5:30 yesterday morning, were completed yesterday afternoon at Eagle Harbor and theves- sel sailed at 10 o'clock last night for Skagway and Southeastern Alaska ports, says the P.-I., of the 9th inst. The fire which caused loss of about S20O, was discovered by the vessels watchman aft of the fire room. 1t had been smouldering for some time, but had not burst,into flames. An alarm of fire was turned in at the pier end the fire tag Snoqualmie. and engine companies from Third avenue and Pine street and Third avenue and Main street responded, and the fire was quickly extinguished. Aboard the Humboldt was one of thelargest ship ments of Christmas presents sent to Alaska this year. There were several tons of large and small packages, icon taining everything froma stick pin to suit of clothing, consigned to South eastern Alaska ports and to Fairbanks and the interior. The shipments to the interior will be sent over the trail in dog sleds in true Santa Claus fashion.

Clyde B. Guptill, Skagway agent for the Alaska Steamship company, who was murderously assaulted on the night of October l9, is rapidly recover ing. He says he does not know who assaulted him, as it was too dark for him to recognize his assailant or as sailants.
 In it's column of real estate transfers the Ketchikan Miner says; "You can't keep a squirrel on the ground iu a tim Der country. No more can you keep a good town down that has resources and a few eptimists. We know that Ketchi- kan has great resources, and believe she also las few 0ptimists."
 At recent meeting of the Fairbanks Igloo Of the Pioneers of Alaska, a cam paign was inaugurated against in human treatment of all dumb animals, especially dogs, this being the season of year when the animals are likely to suffer from the cold. The change in the rules of the order making all Alas kans who were in the North prior to January 1, 1901 eligible for mem ber- ship, resulted in large increase in the membership of the Fairbanks Igloo.
 
 J. L.indley Green has decided that he will not be candidate for delegate to Congress from Alaska. In a letter to the editor of the Seward Gateway he says: ''I desire to inform you that l must decline to allow my name to be used as a possible candidate for dele gate to Congress. | am frank to con- fess that in view of the fact that Alaska has elected two jokes and one would be gladiator as delegates to Congress, l thought there might be show for nae. But my friends inform me that 1 am not gladiator, nor am l sutficent joke to land the plum, and that the people will probably want real dele gate this time. soI must declipe."
 The Sitke Thlinget, published at the Sheldon Jackson School, in the inter- est of the native people of Alaska, is now edited by MT. Geo. J. Beck. Among the matters and things which Mir. Beck finds worthy of mention are the following: "Six foot halibut are not uncommon at the school these days and are fine eating" < "How- ard Gray and John Cameron were the hunters of the week ending Saturday, November llth, and came home with two fine deer" "Henry Johnson and Charlie Dick are the crack hunters this month. They were out about thirty hours and returned with four deer, one very large buck and three smaller ones"

Sheehy says when he had fully awakened he found that his foot was practically cooked.

SEEKING NEW PENCIL

Recent conferences Of representa-
tiyes of the Department of Agrlcul-
ture with several lead-pencil manu-
facturers have resulted in plans Tor
testing new woods to find out whether
they can be used in the pencil lnuuS-
try. According to some OF the manu-
facturers, the supply of red CEDAR
which furnishes practically all the
wood for the annual output OF some
5000. 900 pencils, will be exhausted
within five years. a substitute must
be found which viii white easily,
which shall contain a large amount

In view of this and at the ugges-
ton of the pencil makers. the Forest
Service is to cooperate in a test or a
number of National forest woods.
Among those to be tried are Rocky
