MORE FREAK LEGISLATION

The law passed by congress for the relief of pdigent persons in AL aska is the last bit of freak legis- latjou affecting the people of the incorporated towns of Alaska. It pro vjdes that five per cent of all the moneys collected by the clerks of the district courts in Alaska for licenses and occupation taxes in the District oJ Alaska, now paid by the said clerks into tbe Alaska fund and to Jhe treasurers of the incorporated towns in Alaska shall be paid into Che Treasury of the United States an there be held as a separate fund for Che relief of the ipdjgent persons other than Natives, in Alaska.
 It also provides that said fund shall be d.sbursed upon the recommends ton Of Che governor of Alaska to such persons and in such manner as he may direct. Provided that the governor. in bis annual report, shall submit an i,emizcd statement with proper vouchers. of all expenditures under this act
 This in effect takes five percent of tbe moneys collected from license fees which have hitherto gone into the municipal ueaswies. and places it in a fund subject to tbe orders of the governor
 Eow absurd Che whole thing is, when viewed in its entirety, Every attempt at legislation for Alaska seems to be directed on Che principle that the people are incompetent and Irresponsible. Hence the idea to have the power of initiative removed as far as possible from them.
 Not content with botuiug up our ro, .ources, the general government now says in effect that we may not use a part of our municipal taxes without the consent of au appotnuye governor In the meantime, that mysterious ac- emulation of gold in the United Treasury, known as the Alaska fund. wu lose five per cent of it's income.
 This law will take over S4oO ayear from the treasury of Skagway. IG some of our people need assistance, it win deyolye upon us to take care of them, lest they starye to death, while waiting for relief to come from Washington.

A POPULAR CHORD.

Skagway seems to have struck a popular chord in declaring for a test stamp mill Fairbanks has built two, and now Dawson and Nome, the two oldest camps of importance in the North. except Circle. are clamoring for the same thiRg.
 Everywhere it is being recognized that there is nothing that will so stimulate the activity of prospecting as the certain knowledge that the prospeotoT can get action immediately on his prospects,
 The days Of wildcatdng are over Everyone realizes this, and all honest people are glad of it. Therefore. there is an insistent demand for pos tive results from the prospectOr, else he will not go out and hunt for ledges.
 There has been more activity in the euvirous Of Skagway since the sampling mill was assured than in all the previous years since the building oS the town. Nor have these efforts  been barren of results, Two very recent finds are reported and are

How Sparkling" Originated

From the National Magazine.
 No longer may the phrase be used that a debater in Congress made the sparks ny"-unless his collea gues arc arrayed in asbestos frock coats.
 The novel theory has ben advanced that a spark from the human body was responsible for the great conflagration at Newark N. J., In which 30 lives were lost. The explosion of a gasoline can by an electric spark from workman's finger Is the explanation given by high authorities. This does not look so i'm. probable when we realize that somo persons by "scuffling" across car. pet or rug may generate sufficient cleo. tricity to send sparks from their fin. ger-tips.
 Some philosophers now Insist that thus originated the old-fashioned tern sparkling" which may be true but oxcites shocking" speculations as to the origin of many mysterious con- fiagrations that have puzzled the uood people of this world since tirne began.

Powder Trust Trial.

The final legal battle started by the
Government two years ago to break up
the so-called Powder Trust was opened in
the U. S. Circuit Court, in Philadelphia,
on Wednesday before Judges Gray, Buff
fington and tanning. The defendants
are the E l. DUPONT de Nemours & Co.
and several other subsidiary concerns. An
eminent array of council is employed on
both sides.
w, A. Glasgow for the Government
showed that there was a trust association
made in 1896 and that the prices Of
powder were advanced generally. He
showed that by concerted and continuous
action competition was disposed OF and
effectually stifed. After the association
procured control of the powder business
attention was directed to the trade in
dynamite which was united and the stock
held by the duPout Company.
The DUPONT Company, Thomas Cole
man DUPONT and Pierre S. DUPONT, de-
PENDANTS, admit having become parties to
an association in 1896, the object OF which
was to prevent unreasonable and disas-
ferrous competition. There were Is par
ties to this agreement But they say
such relations were brought to an end in
1904, since which time the defendants
have not, nor has any corporation which
they control, been a member of said
association or any similar association
whatsoever.
Judge Gray stated he would allow four
DAYS for the argument.

Assessing Bank Stock.

The Supreme Court on Monday, in a
Newark case involving the assessment of
bank stock held that the basis of ascer-
tanning the valuation of stock for assess
ment purposes was the stock market value
and not the valuation represented on the
books OF the bank. The decision was
based on an appeal from the action of the
Newark assessment, in which the market
value is taken as the proper basis to de-
termine assessments.
The Court holds that from the market
value there may be deducted a prorata
amount representing assessment OF the
real estate OF the bank, and such other
deductions as are provided for by law.
Heretofore the practice has been to take
as a basis OF calculation the aggregate OF
tile capital, surplus and undivided
profits.

PENIS Grove Gas Company Sold.

The Consolidated Gas Company WHICH
has been acquiring the gas companies al
Glassboro, Clayton, Elmer, Pitman a'o
other small towns in South Jersey has
purchased the stock OF the Penn's Grove
Gas Company and also the Salem oas
Company. It is also negotiating VIII
the Swedesboro stockholders Tor the
purchase Of the plant in that borough
Penn's Grove Gas Company was ulie
six years ago with a capital stock OF soo'
600, largely water. Money to build was
procured mostly OIL bonds with 'ne
stock as a bonus. The sale Of the stock
is reported to have been for interest,"
bearing bonds. 90
By having the gas made between fit-
man and Glassboro for all the own IL Is
expected that there will be enough econ
omnies made tc pay interest on the new
bonds.
PENIS Grove Gas Company has a iran
chise to extend their pipes to PedrlcK-
town. After the purchase of the SWedes-
boro plant, pipes may be extended from
Glassboro through Mullica Hill TO
Swedesboro, and P%edricktown to Penn's
Grove. The plant at Penn's Grove with
which gas is made will not be used.
That will be gratifying to the residents
near it.
The price of Penn's Grove gas is Sl.oo
per 1000 feet with s per cent. off for pay
ment Nithin'five days, making it $l.3o.
Salem's gas plant is an old-fashloned
coal gas plant, while Penn's Grove gas is
made of water, enriched with crude kero-
sene. Water is composed Of two parts oil
hydrogen. a gas which will burn with a
blue flame, and one part of oxygen, the
gas which feeds animal life as well as
fire. Discoveries in chemistry II the
inventions in machinery has made 1T pos
sible to make oxyhydrngen gas for about
fifty cents per 1000 cubic feet unde the
most economical circumstances. Conse-
q%uently there will be great economies III
supplying the City Of Salem with gas.
The inhabitants have for years been pay
ing So per 1000 for gas, and undoubtedly
the citizens of Salem will soon be ENJOY
ing a reduction in price as well as an I'M
provement in the quality of gas.
Gas pipes have been laid from Elmer
to Woodstown. When the pipe lines are
extended along the country roads to the
different towns, farmers along the routes
can use gas to light their houses and to
run their engines for grinding gram,
pumping water and other labor saving
helps on the farm.
The Consolidated Gas Compay, which
is gaining control OF the gas business OF
South Jersey, is supposed to be controlled
by the same men who control the United
Gas improvement Company 10. G. L.
in Philadelphia.
