Some Black and Some Brown

Owing to the inadequate protection of certain species of fur bearing ami mals, the annual output of furs in Alaska is gradually decreasing. The new fur regulations promulgated under the broad provisions of the fur-seal law are beneficial, but, require amend ment in certain particulars. In the interest of economy, as we'll as general efficiency, the administration of the law for the protection of fur-bearing animals and the law for the protection of game should be placed under one head. The maintenance of separate force of wardens by the Bureau of Fisheries and by the governors office does not make for the greatest general efficiency, and the double system is unduly expensive. An intimation of the present incongruous condition Is given when it is stated that brown bears are denominated as game, and are protected by the game regulations of the governors office, while black bears are regarded as fur bearing ani mals, subject to the regulations ad- ministered by the Bureau of Fisheries. Yet the workings of nature are such that of the same litter some bears are black and others are brown.-GoVer- OTIS Report.

Poor Old Alaska

"Poor old Alaska has surely had quite enough of the leasing system. It was leased by Russia from 1799 until 1867 to the Russian. American company. That company was the absolute lord and master, and it's leasehold sover- eighty absolutely prevented develop ment. Fortunately nobody was lured there under false premises. Only those went there who did so for the Russian American company. A leas- ing system was, not in flicted upon hon. est, hardy pioneers as is now proposed by the American government. Fortu' nately, for the United States, Alaska was not colonized or settled by the Russians. Their leasing system pre- vented it. Otherwise the Russian peo- pie would have so we'll developed Alaska by 1867 that the United States could not have bought it for two cents an acre, with it's wonderful fisheries and fur seal herd of 6,000,O00 thrown into the bargain. The first thing we did, however, was to lease that seal herd to a company which in forty years made net profit of S5,73S,OOO and depleted the seal to about 75,U00. Ia the meantime. the United States government spent more money in pa trolling the seal islands than it obtain ed from royalties on the lease, and Alaska got absolutely nothing, not a cent in taxation, not lighthouse, not a school house, not as much as flag pole. Now, the United States govern ment has gone into the sealing busi- ness itself, and has already begun to make a profit But this kind of talk may lead us to advocate the building of railroads in Alaska and the opera tion of coal mines there by the govern ment."-ProceedingS of The American Mining Congress.

Some unknown humorist writes to know whether Robert w. Jennings is the only Democrat the Times intends to nominate for delegate to congress. The question is difficult to answer in like vein because we are too serious au institut to joke much. It has al ways been our impression that Mir. Jennings will attend to furthering his own nomination, and that it depends wholly upon the entire body of Demo. crats in the territory whether he re- celves the nomination or not. When the present delegate arrived in Fair banks in September, he approve warmly of Jennings, saying that the Democrats could not name a better man. Subsequently,, for reasons known best to himself, the delegate reversed his declaration about Mir. Jennings, and attacked him from the public platform as tool of some cor. porate interest or other. It may have been a case of professional jealousy, because it is readily conceded that the present delegate equals Mir. Jennings neither as a lawyer nor as a public speaker. Besides, MT. Jennings is a man of unquestioned integrity; and far from being a representative of any interests" be has never been attorney for corporations, nor has he begged for taste from any corporations flesh pots Fairbanks Times.

Besides feeling little puffed up that anything we could write should be worthy of praise from so able a gen. tleman, we were pleased to fondle the boquet of praise, given when the road is rough and the days are long. How much better than the wreaths after the battle is over. Many thanks, kind friend.

The key was there, and the po-

There was blood all over the bed.
A very superficial examination
showed that Grace's wound was
serious. The bullet had entered
his left side and lodged close to
the spinal cord:

"My wife" said Grace.
Then Grace was removed to St.
Joseph's hospital, where it was
discovered that the shooting
must have taken place early in
the morning. Physicians now
say Grace has slight chance of
recovery. Even if he does not
die, he will be paralyzed for life.
