So Many Trout They Trip Fishermen.

Salmon trout fishing in the Sandy
river is the leading sport just now.
The fish have been running in great
schools in such numbers that fisher
men wading in the rifles were thrown
off their feet
At the falls. near the mouth Of Bull
Run river. the fish were SO thick that
they were pulled out by d ozens.
George Moulton and Oscar Carlson on
Sunday brought home wagon load
which they snagged by means of a
hook on throw line. At almost every
cast fish would be hooked and
dragged ashore. Settlers are sailing
large quantities for winter use.-Gres.

ital can only follow the pioneer. The
exaction of a license for the privilege
of prospecting is un-American and
foreign and at variance with the en-
couragement given by the American
people to the hardy miners who are
seldom recompensed for the years OF
toll and privations that they endure.
The assertion of Eastern advocates
of conservatism that there can be

Is refuted by the opinion of all min
ing men and experts who have visit
ed the territory, and that the coal
lands of Alaska embrace thousands
of acres and the coal deposits are es-
timated to supply the country for sew
eral hundred years is stated by the
same belief"
The committee further recon-
mended that a copy of these resolu-
lions be sent President William H.

COAL is NECESSARY

Coal Fields" was the subject for dis
cussion at a recent meeting of the
Seattle Commercial Club, after the
following report of the legislative
committee had been approved:
eve respectfully protest against
imposing our government restrictions
upon the prices of coal produced by
Alaska operators, thereby placing
those operators at disadvantage
with competitors in the states and
foreign countries. The coal of Alas
ka is as of much value to resident
to be used for convenience and COM
fort as an export product.
1--WE would also respectfully pro-
test against the leasing or coal prop
critics by the government, this restric-
ton tending to retard development
by the prospector and man of limit
ed means. For this same reason the
exaction of royalty will tend to dis

DO HOLLAND AND BELGIUM
NEED AN ALLIANCE?

NEED AN A1uIIANCE.
The British are not the only ones
that are suffering from the German
war "scare." The "scare" has spread
to other countries, especially Holland
and Belgium. These two countries
are showing the trepidation of the
English about Germany.
In the past it has usually been
the fear of being drawn into a war
that should arise between France and
Germany. At the present time Ger
many is widely credited with a de-
sire to extend her dominions at Hol-
land and Belgium's expense, as that
is the only way she can extend her
coast line and become the master
of the outlets of the River Rhine.
General Won der Boeck in the Beu-
tsche Reval (Berlin) discusses the
possibility of military alliance be-
tween the two countries. Now the
generals article is, in the main, a
resume" of notable publication by
Dutch writer, R. A. Klerck, who
is esteemed by his countrymen as q
gifted writer, and a man especially
well versed in military matters.
This article has been greatly ex.
plotted by the anti-German military
press of France. The work deals
with the neutrality and independence
of Belgium, and the means by which
she can secure them by an alliance
with Holland.
The first point debated by Klerck
is whether from historical stand
point an alliance could be formed by
these two states. He reaches the
conclusion that it would be possible
as there are essential obstacles in
the way. Difference of race and ex-
traction he finds would not hinder
the alliance, as that would leave both
countries independent. The main
question is whether the neutrality
OF Belgium, enjoined by treaty, en-
titles it to form an alliance with an
other power.
This Dutch writer maintains that
Belgium need by no means relfn-
Quish its permanent neutrality by an
alliance formed in order to protect
that neutrality. Although Klerck
believes he has proved historically
that there is no barrier to a "rep.
prochement," General Boeck believes
this conclusion would be valueless ii
1t could not at the same time be
shown that from a political and mil
itary standpoint it is to the interest
of both states to form an alliance.
Now the question whether a Ger
man peril" does really hang over
Holland and Belgium has been freely
written on by many French, Dutch
and Belgium writer's. There has al
ways been a German peril exist.
ing over those two countries, eve:
since the great victories of Prussiar
policy in the SOS of the past cen
fury. &NMW
or course the over-zealous mem
bers of the Pan-German League hav.
assisted this to become a regular
"beite noire" to the people. The mos
suitable means to preserve the ma
tional existence Of both countrie,
would be q purely defensive alliance
that would materially reduce tn,
dangers that threaten them.
Influential voices have been raised
in both nations against such an al
lance, but for the present it would
suffice If the military authorities OF
both sides would, by agreement, pre-
pare for any sudden contingency.
The military strength Of the tw,
states now number nearly 400, 900
and in time might become a power
that would be regarded as a "Quan
