Leehey, Chief of the Field Division Andrew Christensen. Special Agents Lewis and Hinrichs and other government officials.
 Judge J. w. Witten, chief law clerk in the general land office, who sat recent, ly in the Cunningham hearing in Wash ington, and H. s. Hinrichs, special agent of the land office, began taking evidence in the federal building at &c., attle June 19 to determine whether the locations of the Hunt group of coal land claims in Alaska shall be cancelled for violation of the coal land laws. The Hunt claims are located about twenty seven miles northeast of Katalla and adjoin the Cunningham claims on the east. They were filed on by the follow. ing twelve men; Thomas s. Lippy, John Schram, George F. Cotterill, Adolph Behrens, Rev. Clark Davis, Cleo c. Davis, John l.. Moseley, Otto E. Sauter. H. R. Hartman, Charles w. Davis, A.B. Hunt and k. J. Mahoney.

 Some indignation has been aroused at Fairbanks over the interpretation oe the liquor law, which District Attorney Crossley is attempting to enforce, fol- lowing a ruling on the matter by the attorney general. Every retail liquor dealer has been notified not to sell any liquor which is not drunk on the prem- ises, and it is therefore impossible for the residents of the camp to buy bot tie of beer, wine or any other liquor for home consumption. The wholesale liquor license will not let the holder thereof sell less than four gallons of liquor. On the other hand, by the terms of the retail or barroom license, man holding such license may sell not to exceed five gallons. The district attorney now rules that all of the five gallons must be drunk on the premises. Preparations will be made to carry the case up to the district court,
 Anotaer instance of the colossal igs norance of the people in the States concerning Alaska was given in re- cent issue of the Seattle Times, where big story was run of the awful (?l ex> periences of two men who were report ed to have been shipwrecked on Anette island, Southeastern Alaska. It is not for us to doubt the narrowing tale told by these men, of their battle with the wolves and their heroic struggle for ex. istence, as they toiled through the snow for six months or so on an island whose largest dimensions from north to south is about twenty-one miles, and east to west is eleven or twelve miles. If the aforementioned shipwreoked mariners had been anything on the "mush" they might have walked clear around the island on the beach two or three times each of the months they were marooned thereon, and thus discovered the town of Metlakahtla with it's numerous out lying camps and the daily boats plying to and from Ketchikan less than twenty miles away.-Ketchikap Miner.

Owing to the number of persons who have been bitten by dogs in Fairbanks, the city council has passed an ordin- ance prohibiting dogs from running at large. The dog owners, however, con tend that because of the service which dogs have rendered in the North, they should be allowed to run at large, and steps may be taken to carry the matter into the courts. In the meantime the poundmaster continues his daily rounds.
 An exchange says: "The passing of the reciprocity measure will do much to free us from our political entangling alliances with the home of Adams and headquarters for graft, greed and glut tony. We will then be able to secure dockage at Vancouver, Prince Ruper and other nearby points at the same rate other countries do, and will no longer be under the dominating infu- ence of Seattle's political fotsam aud ietsam. May God hasten that day"
 Seattle is in hard straits. Whenever she lives so fast that Alaska can't keep her in gold she puts on suburban ad- ditions and sends her sharks out for suckers. The people of Alaska may be able to keep Seattle few years longer, but she could not be asked to support every wildcat suburb that some real estate promoter may see fit to put on the market. If you have few hundred dollars to invest, stick it in Valdez aud double your money.-Valdez Miner.
 To be prepared for the increasing traffic between Seattle and Alaska ports which it is believed will be more than doubled within the next two years, the Alaska Steamship Company has com pleted plans for an important addition to it's fleet of vessels and requested bids for the construction of modern freight and passenger steamship which will cost approximately S500,00o. It is un. derstood that bids will be submitted by the Moran Company of Seattle and a number of Eastern shipbuilding cor porations.

The school cannot do this work alone:

SIXTY INJURED IN SMASH-UP
Express on New York, New Haven
and Hartford Road Wrecked.

Middletown, Conn, Aug. 27.-Sixty
persons were injured. eight seriously,
tonight, when an express train on the
Valley division of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad was wrecked
by the spreading of the rails. The train
is one that runs down Sunday morning
carrying people who wish to spend the
day at the various shore resorts along
the sound and returns at night.
The tram consisted of the engine,
two baggage and eight passenger
coaches. The engine was thrown on
its side into sand bank; the two bag
gage cars went down a thirty-fve foot
embankment toward the Connecticut
river; the first passenger coach ran into
the tender of the engine and was badly
spintered. 1t was in this car that
most of the injured were found. The
second passenger car was thrown side
wise on the track and the other cars
turned in all directions but remained
upright.
Robert Mathers, the engineer, was
caught in the cab of his engine and had
to be chopped out, but escaped with a
dislocated hip and bruises. A baggage
man whose name in not known who
was in the first baggage car that went
down the bank and turned over on its
side escaped with a broken nose; a
brakeman on the second passenger
coach received a conclusion of the
brain.
Among the other injured were Mr..

Mass, minor injuries and bruises, and
David Dunn of Norwich, minor injuries
and suffering from shock.
These injured We're brought to local
hospital The other injured were
brought to this city on a work train or
sent south again on a passenger train.
The spot where the wreck occurred is
isolated and the only way of reaching
the place Is by automobile and train.
Many of the slightly injured climbed
a bank by the tracks and walked to this
city, reaching here covered with mud.
They were cared for and sent to their
destination by trolley. The injured on
the train were first given aid by two
doctors who We're on board.
The train was - minutes late and was
being run to make up the lost time.

The school district of few square
miles is the educational unit in the
state of New York The residents are
generally unwilling to give up this par
tcular institution even though de-
creasing population makes very
small attendance at school. Consoli-
dation of school districts has been adj
vocated as Il means of strengthening
districts and Offering better opportuni-
ties for supervision and instruction.
No doubt consolidation is valuable
However, there will still be country
districts where it is impossible to
transport the children and where it is
necessary to keep up a high standard
for the school for the children living
in the community.
The schoolhouse is the only public
building Of the district. and a larger
interest should center about its af-
fairs. Unfortunately interest in school
matters is often Mt low ebb. The
trustees elected at the annual school
meeting by n very small representa-
ton of the taxpayers employ teach
er and set the educational machines
at work for the year Sometimes not
enough interest exists in the district
to secure an attendance of voters to
transact business at n school meeting.
