ALASKA MINING CLAIMS.

In an act uf congress recently ap-
 proved by the president. il was svi
 drntly the intention of the lawmakers to discourage claim grabbing in Alas
 ton of placer ground in that territory. and does not apply elsewhere. Both as tO the size of the claims held by individuals or associations and as to the number of claims which a locator may stake during any calendar month. it is sought tu prohibit blanket" pos s"ssory rights over a large area in the name of one person ar association. Moreover. no individual is permitted to make locations in the names of ab- sent persons unless he possesses writ
 en powers of attorney. provision which also helps 10 limit excessive possessory rights. Finally. the annual location work must begin with the
 year of location. This is the first step which has been taken by congress m recent years to deal with the assess ment question.
 IL Is probable that the law here touched upon is satisfactory To the mining interests of the Alaska placer regions. as an Alaska committee has spent considerable time in Washing ton during the last session of con- gress. Mining law has grown up as the product of local experience and local regulations. and it is always proper that central authority should pay heed to what the man on the ground" deems fair in the struggle for native wealth. The conditions under which new gold is found call for the most cOnsiderate treatment by law makers. Evidently the intent of the present law is to cause to be left open 10 men who are wiling to do the work of producing gold, rather than 10 those who wish n hold claims for speculative purposes. Speculation in the public domain has been frowned upon of late. and one of the principal tendencies of legislation at Washing ton is to make the law conform to this disposition. The chief object of the government withdrawals of public lands. pending classification. was to interfere with their appropriation by nriyate indivi5uaIs ,ptu spao,,Ia,I,-a values could be considered.

 OFFICIAL PAPER
The Nome daily nugget., 1912-10-22

In recent hsrangue NIT. Roosevelt denounced President Taft for pressing to passage the Canadian reciprocity bill. He told the northern wheat growers that the bill was a jug handled affair" by which the Canadian got all the benefit and the American farmer all the worst of 1t.
 That sounds like votes in the north surely. Very we'll. But before pre- seuting the matter to congress MT. Taft submitted 1t to Mir. Roosevelt for hls consideration and advice. And Mir. Roosevelt wrote tc Mir. Taft, in January. year ago:
 It seems to me that what you pro- pose to do with Canada is admirable from eVery standpoint. l firmly be uevr in free trade with Canada for both economic and political reasons. As you say. labor cost is substantially the same in the two countries. so that you are amply justified by the plat form Whether Canada will accept such reciprocity | do not know. but 1t Is greatly 10 your credit to make the effort. IL may damage the republican party for while. but IL will surely nenent the party in the end. especially if you tackle wool. cotton. etc. as you propose"
 Alr. Roosevelt has a right to change his economic views as often as he changes his shirt 1T he wants to-and lac comes perilously near doing 1t. too.
 But no honorable man or fair fighter would advise another 10 do a thing and then go among people hostile To such action and urge them to vote against th" other man who had fol- lowed his own advice. That is not what plain. ordinary folks understand by the square deal. Not much it isn't.

RooseVelt's Characterization of Action
 of National Committee.

Oyster Bay, N. r.. June 11--With an attack on his opponents in the re- publican national committee and on President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt to- night again protested against the course of affairs at Chicago. In a statement issued at Sagarnore Hill he said Mir. Taft assumed that the presi- dency is to be treated as a gift within the bestowal of the politicians, in de- dance of the duly expressed wish of the people"
 Such conduct" Colonel Roosevelt wrote, comes dangerously near being treason to the whole spirit of our in- stitutions to the whole spirit of dem ocratic free government"
 The former president laid especial stress on the action of the committee in seating tte Taft delegates from the thirteenth district of Indiana, notwith- standing the fact, he said that the Roosevelt men were clearly in the ma jority in the convention which called to elect these two delegates.
 The statement was issued on Colonel Roosevelt's return from New York, where he spent the day. While in New York he conferred with Governor Stubbs of Kansas, Comptroller Will fam A. Pendergast of New York, who is to nominate him; and Amos Pinchot. Congressman Nicholas Longworth, his son law who has been taking no part in the campaign also called on him.

with bunting so as to present an un- broken cloth ceiling which at a dis tance looks more permanent than it's temporary use demanded. The ceiling is cream coiored paneled with gold.
 The balcony railings are festooned with national colors and at the base of each arch descending from the roof is the insignia of some state or terri tory. The speakers stand is covered with red, white and blue, with the colors and arms of the state of Mary land banked in front. Most conspicu- ous of the portraits that adorn the walls are paintings of Washington and Jefferson. each eight feet square and executed especially for this pur- pose.
 A feature of these decorations which the committee in charge is particular ly proud of is that every yard of bunt- ing used has been fireproofed. The fireproofing preparation was mixed with the dye and has not changed the appearance Of the cloth subjected to this process. Although the cotton cloth used in it's natural state is very in f1ammable, the fireproofed bunting will not blaze even when thrown into the fire. The cloth will charr, but only in places to which flame is directly applied.
 The use of this ffreproof bunting in building constructed of stone, brick and steel has not, however, prevented the convention committee from taking other precautions against a possible fire. The hall is provided with an un- usual number of exits, and the fact that the main floor is on a level with the outside street is regarded as an- other valuable factor of safety.

Troubles of Explorers.

Great priVatIOnS were endured by A. H. Savage Landor during some DOT tions of his eighteen months journey across South America and back. He says: When I left Rio in March of last year I took enough provisions to last for year, but owing to wastage on the part of my men and loss, these eventually gave out, and toward the end of that part of the expedition through the unexplored portion of Brazil we remained for sixteen days without a morsel of anything to eat Happily there was plenty of water, but there was no game, no fruit, no fish, and no inhabitants. and neither my men nor myself had sufficient food to cover sixpence.
 Our experiences were terrible and it was one of the most tragic marches I have ever had. At this time I had with me two carriers-my only com panions-and they suffered even more than l did. Both wanted to put an end to their sufferings, and it was only with difficulty that l prevented them from committing suicide.
 For myself, though accustomed to roughing it, I nearly died. Starvation brought on amaemia, which was suc- ceeded by beri-beri in the right leg, causing atrophy of two toes. Eventu- ally we came through, but in a terri ble plight. I lost fifty pounds in weight"

Washington, June 11-Only the sig nature of President Taft now is re- quired to abolish the commerce court of the United States. The legislating out of existence of that tribunal, ere ated only two years ago and which the supreme court of the United States recently declared had exceeded it's powers, finally and definitely was de- termined upon today when the sen ate by a vote of 36 to 23 defeated an amendment to make provision for maintaining the court in the legisla- tive. executive and judicial appropria- ton bill.
 Taft May Veto Bill.
 This put both houses of congress in accord on the matter of abolishing the court There is a likelihood, it was asserted in official circles tonight, that President Taft would veto the ap- propriation bill.
 Progressives With Democrats.
 Of the votes cast in opposition to the bill 26 were democrats and the re- mainirg ten by republicans. The re- publican negative vote was cast Tn the main by progressives but Senators Nelson and Heyburn joined in opposi- tlon. Senator Thornton of Alabama was the only democrat who voted for continuance of the court.
 Court Composed of Five Judges.
 The court is composed of five judges who would be dispersed and take up their duties as members of the various circuits of appeal if they are not drop ped out of office altogether as proposed by some senators. The courts elabo- rate headquarters here were furnished at considerable expense. The cases heretofore passed upon by the com merce court which involved only rail road litigation op appeal from de- cisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission again would be handled by the United States district courts
 The discussion occupied most of the days session of the senate.

Old Chinese Custom.

Matching of eggs by means of arta- fiesal heat has been practiced in China and Egypt from prehistoric times In the latter country there still exists ancient egg hatcheries or "mamals'i that have been in continuous use in the same family for many generations. These ineuhators consist of large brick ovens that will hold about 30,e0o to e0.000 eggs at q time Tine fire is built inside the oven and is watched carefully for ten days, after which no additional heat Is necessary. The method of building the firse and main taining them so as to preserve the right temperature is a trade secret that is jeaiously guarded and usually kept in the family.

New Use For Aluminium,

New uses are constantly being found for aluminium. One of the latest is making it into foil to take the place of tinfoil in wrapping up food products especially chocolate. Aluminium foil is now made about one six-hundredth of an inch in thickness. Aluminium powder has also been coming into common use. To make the aluminium powder, very thin foil is first cut up in small spangIes; these are ground in a mill and the powder is then sifted through bolting cloth. The powder is used as a basis for metallic paint and is especially valuable for metallic sur faces that are exposed a great deal. The powder is very soft and adhesive, like graphite.

The prospects of success are slender as the ship owners, convinced that a national strike cannot be successfully engineer CT, have taken an unyielding attitude. The number of men outside of Lon don who have responded to the call for a national strike does not exceed 25,600 but several ports, including Bristol Swansea, Southampton and Manchester are partially tied up.

STATE SHORT OF CASH
Has Only $2o5, 200 in Revenue Fund
Compared with $1,312,692 Year Ago.

st. Paul-Minnesota has approx
mately $4,000 less in her treasury
than there was at this time last year.
The cash on hand at the close of bust
ness April 80, was s2,077,310.87. Last
year at the -elose of business April 80
there was $2,S51 ,3S5.97 in the treas
ury Walter J. Smith, state treasurer,
estimates that the disbursements for
the fiscal year soon to close, will be
between two and three millions more
than they were the year before. This
accounts for the difference in the cash
on hand The revenue fund this year
Is only $205,7S4 compared with $1,312,-
692t5 in this fund April 80, 1911.
One of the reasons for the depleted
state of the treasury is that nearly
100000 was paid out of the general
school fund to the counties in March
and April of this year. This leaves
but $1,262.49 in the general school
fund at present All of the counties
have received their appropriations,
however.
Of the amount now in the treasury
there is almost million that may be
withdrawn any day. This is the $685.
900 belonging to the prison building
fund and the $459.00 in the state pris-
on revolving fund These two funds
are subject to withdrawal at any time
and may be needed soon.

BANK SHORTAGE DISCOVERED
WiNNEBAGo INSTiTUTiOS ARE
CLOSED BY OFFICER.
Vice President of State Bank and
$4,000 Neutrality-suspicious. May
be Only Temporary.

Winnebago.-Kelsey S. Chase, of
has temporarily closed the Bank
OF Commerce of this place and is now
making an examination of it's books
and accounts.
This action was taken because OF
the absence of H. w. Parker, vice
president of the bank, who left here
on Friday afternoon, saying he was
going to st. Paul to attend a lodge
meeting. The examiner was informed
that Parker just before his departure
cashed Bank of Commerce draft
for $4,000 at the First National bank
here and was supposed to have taken
the money with him.
Whether a further shortage will be
shown at the bank has not as yet
been determined. Special Examiner
Regain is coming tonight to assist his
chief in the examination.
Inquiries have been made in st.
Paul and also in Minneapolis, where
Parker has brother, but nothing has
been learned of the missing mans
whereabouts. The brother has arrived
here, to help clear the mystery.
Vice President Parker has been with
the bank many years and has had the
respect and confidence of all patrons.
He is about 40 years of age and has a
wife and three children here. j,
The Bank of Commerce was organ
lied as a private bank in 1903 and be-
came state bank the following year.
1t has capital stock of $4,000, a
surplus of $4,000 and deposits of $780,
600. John Sharp is president and
Glenn Bassett, cashier
1t is expected the suspension will be
only temporary. The bank examiner
has not progressed sufficiently with
the examination to be willing to make
a statement and the extent of the al
legged shortage is a matter only of
conjecture.
