WHAT A CANADIAN
 THINKS OF ALASKA

and most of them are broke The, the perverted doctrine of conservation winch has obtained in that country and the only relief that they can see is either complete home rule or annexa- ton to Canada. Personally. I believe the latter course would prove the more advantageous to them, both now and in the long run.
 "The population of the principal towns in Alaska now is only about one-third of what it was five years ago It is likely that census of the entire territory would show a like decline Radical action of some sort is needed to prevent Alaska relapsing to the conditions that, prevailed in the years preceding the Klondike boom"
 "The only thing that can save Alaska from relapse to a condition approach ing barbarism is it's cession to Can ada" said F.. H. Mofitt of Wallace who figures prominently in the mer- cantile, banking and mining lines in northern Idaho. He continued:
 "Of the 60,000 inhabitants which the territory now has, fully 10000 are ab- origines. The white population is just about one-fourth of what it was ten years ago. This alone should convince the people there is something radicall, wrong with the government of the country, because its wealth in natural resources is undisputed
 If Alaska were given show. such as the government of Canada or the province of British Colubmia could ac- cord it. there would be marvellous in. crease in population and production in mat country within the next few years"

INSANITY SHOWN BY FEET
Sane Men Have Large Ones and San,
 Women Small Ones.

PARIS.-Statistics prove that sanity can be measured by the feet. both in men and women, but the rules for the two sexes are the inverse if one another.
 In the Paris Academy of Sciences Edmund Perrier read report by Messrs. A. Marie and MacAuliffe, which appears conclusive. Sane men have large feet. and sane women small feet. Conversely. beware of the small footed male and the large-footed fe- male. Out of 100 normal men. accord ing 10 the report. eighteen have small feet, and out of 100 insane men only twenty-four have large feet.
 The proportions of women are almost exactly reversed. Twenty-three sane women out of 100 have large feet. and. on the contrary. only eighteen per cent of mad women have small feet.

PANTHER SCARE:
ON SOUTH SIDE
PEOPLE RESIDING NEAR BAKERS
GROVE BADLY FRIGHTENED
Twill HUNT ANIMAL.

The older people as we'll as the chill
dren residing on Mary street, in the
neighborhood of Bakers grove are
badly frightened over the night prowl-
ing of a strange animal which they be-
lieve to be panther. The animal came
to the neighborhood about week ago
and since that time the children have
been so badly scared that it is diff cult
to get them out of doors at night while
some OF the older people are as eau
tious as the youngster. During the
winter, the children have been skating
on the ice near the grove, but that
spot has been deserted at nights since
hearing the strange noises uttered by
the four legged animal. Some of the
people claim to have seen it, while
others declare that they have never
saw it but that they have heard it
growing and that is enough to keep
them out of the path of the animal.
One person describing the noise Of
the animal said: ut begins making a
noise like little child crying. Then
1t begins to scream something terrible
on end" The neighbors. declare that
the animal stays in hiding during the
day, making it's appearance about 8
o'clock at night. They declare that it
stays in the willow grove near the
Frank Peck home. The men are de-
termined ITO trap the animal and are
waiting for snow so that they can
follow it to it's lair They state that a
panther was seen near the Vine street
bridge only a short time

COAL SEALED UP.

The Philadelphia Press has the fol
lowing editorial, giving evidence on its
part Of a misapprehension with respect
to existing conditions on the west
coast:
a mining engineer who has had op-
portunltics OF studying the coal resources
ka has quantities of excellent smokcless
coal. We suggest that the information
he communicated to the Navy Depart
ment. which would not have spent very
large sums OF money In transporting
Eastern coal 10 San Francisco and Brem-
crton If II had known about this excel
lent Alaskan coal.
II is true that the conditions ex-
pressed by our Philadelphia contem-
porary would be natural One would
think that that is exactly what would
be done. Tho Government should not
send coal from the East to Pacific
coast points if it can get good Alaska
coal near at hand. But the truth
is. and it has been known all
along. that Alaska has plenty of
excellent coal, though this coal
is not obtainable, because the Pinchot
and CLAWS outcry has kept all of the
Alaska coal mines sealed, No one can
get any coal in Alaska. The steamers
that ply between Seattle and Alaska
ports have to buy Australian or Brit
ish Columbian coal. No one dare mine
Alaska coal, no one dare be caught
shipping it. Alaska has been kept sta
tionary for ten years under the Pinchot
policies.
AS the Press suggests, this has beer
a costly piece Of business to the Navy
Department, and il is costly to all of
the shipping on our Pacific coast; but
the Alaska coal mines are hermetically
scaled. And there you are.
