THE ALASKA MOON


 The concensus of opinion about town now, says the Fairbanks News Miner, is to the effect that the reported eruption of some volcano in the Alas kan range to the south was nothing more nor less than the moon, and ac cordingly those who thought they saw a volcano and who spread the story are wearing rather sheepish grins.
 The moon in this country always is a peculiar acting body, peculiar to one who is accustomed to it's actions in low CT latitudes. At some times it just peeps over the souther nhoriZon, skins along short distance and then gfoes down, while at other times it al- most forgets to go to bed at all, be- hind the norther horizon, and circles around the sky for as much as trenty- three hours in a stretch
 Yesterday, the moon was in its first quarter, and the night before it bare ly appeared above the southern hori- zon beyond the peaks of the Alaskan range, and was viscible for only short time in the evening before set ting back out of sight. On the hori- zon. the refraction of the air layers al ways distorts any object, hence it was that some mistook. the luminary for a volcano eruption. At the fire, hall all the boys noted the peculiar appearance of the moon, but did, not get excited about "a conical shaped flame rising and falling" "a glow on. the neighbor- ing peaks nor were they surprised, when, after short time, the moon dis apepared behind a low fringe of clouds along the peaks that "pall of smoke" hid, itso, it was not visible again that night.
 again, much
 Last night the moon appeared again, much to the excitement of some who thought that the volcano was again in eruption. Being the second day of, the first quarter, however, the moon rose little higher an dthere was no doubt about it's being the moon on this occas- ion. Hence the excitement subsided and the sheepish grins appeared.
 As was anticipated, MT. Pinchot comes out in opposition to the policy of MT. Fsher, the able secretary of the interior. Seward has had the oppor- tunity to hear both of these gentlemen speak. Mr. Fisher is frank, out spo- ken, bold and self-reliant He had an opinion upon the matters which he came to Alaska to investigate, but like all big men said he was ready to. mo- dify his views and preconceived ideas, as he gained new light and added in formation. MT. Pinchot on the con trary, was on-communicative to de- gree, and after his speech delivered here, one could get no, better idea of his policy or his view of the matter un- der discussion than before his exposi- tion on the subject MT. Fisher is es- sentially leader, MT. Pinchot mani festly. lacks the initiative. Alaskans admire g manof the Fisher type. They may respect the Pinchot type, but they could never accept him as a leader of men.-Seward Gateway.

THE YEARS ALASKA ESTIMATES

The annual estimates transmitted to Congress this month by the Secretary of the Treasury of appropriations need ed for the public objects in Alaska are larger by about $45,0O0 than those of last year, and probably larger than. in any year in the history of the terri tory except when the estimates were submitted for the construction of the Alaska telegraphic cable. These esti- mates call for eleven direct apropria- tions for this territory, aggregating $S4S,43O, as against $S03,5 last year. These appropriations, however, by no means include all those which will be applicable, in whole or in part to, All aska, since many of the objects of expenditure in this territory are de- frayed from large general appropria- tions of Congress which are intended to include federal projects all over the United States. Neither does the az gregate given above include the sala- ries of any public officers except those employed under the fisheries service and the appropriations for game pro- teetion and suppression of the liquor traffic. If all those parts of general appropriations aplicable to Alaska were added to the direct appropriations for this territory, the total would be in II 11.lI
 The total revenues collected in Alas ka, contrary to general belief, are not more than one-ffth or one-fourth of the amount of public money which the government spends every year in the territory. The total rvenues in Alas ka during the last fiscal year, exclu. sive only of the local property taxes collected in the incorporated towns, and the customs and internal revenue re, eeipts, were only $398,135.
 This years estimates of the direct, specific appropriations for Alaska, not including the ciphers of any officers, the whole cost of the administration of justice (which alone is about $500,000 year), or any of the large, general. ap- populations which are applicable, in part, to this territory, are as follows:
