Tablets containing these germs are
now used in medicine for the treat

been found that they destroy certain

A HoTBED OF INTRIGUE.

! Alaska appears Co be the prize
around which hotbcd Of intrigue is
constantly gathered. Accusations of all
| kinds, most of them absolutely ridlcu-
| ous, arc made from time TO time, as

geni~im cases were not much more sub

face of things, very powerful interests
are contending for advantage in Alas

not, so far. been disclosed; but every
time that finger is poked into Alaska
affairs, it testers.
The recent charges against Attorney
General Wickersham are evidence OF
the keenness with which the Alaska
fight is being waged. That the Attor'
ney General is willfully allowing cases
to outlaw before beginning proceed
ings, when all the facts were IN his
possession, is too raw a proposition for
belief; but evidently some sort Of an
explanation must be made.
In the meantime the government is
losing nothing in Alaska; 1t holds
everything that it ever had 1t is evil
dent, on the other hand, that the set
tiers are gaining nothing. They can
not get land, they cannot get coal
mines, they cannot get water power,
they cannot get timber. The result Is
that in the decade from 1900 to 1910
Alaska alone, Of all the great unset
tied possessions Of the United States,
showed no progress. In 1900 the pop"
ulation Of Alaska was 63,592; in 1910
it was 64, 1856, gain Of but 1854 in the
ten years. That is, no progress at all.

ness in Alaska are not allowed to take
the coal that ls rlSht nnder tnelr leet,
and that they could mine at cost not
exceeding 50 per ton. But they must
buy British Columbian or Australian
coal at from Sl3 to $40 ton,
The gold mining in Alaska serves to
keep things stirring during the sum-
mer. The Copper River railroad and
mining operations show substantial
prosperity, but aside from these Alaska
is dead If the House Investigation will
develop the reasons for this paralysis
of Alaska, and will disclose the real
elements of contention there, the big
interests that are at war, and that SO
