rapidly growing less each year. It

the National Proyisioner, organ Of

the six principal western markets g.
200,0 head OF cattle, or 100000
less than during the same period Of
last year II says that the shortage
is greater in the smaller markets Of
the east, and that not only was there
"a shortage in numbers, but that the
weight of the cattle received was less
than in former years, 81 pounds less
than the average for last year, also
that prices paid for cattle were high
er than ever before and that all Of
these conditions together explained

ALASKA MUST BE OPENED UP.

ALASKA MUST BE OPENED W.
There seems to be much dissatis-
faction in regard to the conditions in
Alaska, brought about by the do
nothing policy of the present admin
istration. Everything in Alaska has
been reserved for posterity. A party
of New York business men headed
by Charles +. Peck, returning from
Alaska few days ago, stopped over
IN Portland, and Mr.. Peck had this
to say in regard to the administra-
tion methods of reserying everything
for posterity What has posterity
done for us that we should conserve
our natural resources for it to the
detriment OF our present needs. /
am amazed that the natural wealth
OF Alaska should be permitted to be
closed to development because of
governmental action.
White it is all new to me-, he
continued, Il cannot understand
why the people of the Pacific coast
have not risen up in arms and fore
IDLY taken possession of the Alaska a
coal mines, at least, instead of hav-
ing to purchase an inferior quality,
duty added, from d foreign nation.
The people of the east do not under
stand the conditions out here or they
would assist in securing what is
right.
Some of the alleged wise men
tell us about conserving our natural
resources for the coming generations
but tell nothing of present condi-
tions. Personally l propose to be a
disciple against the foolish PROPOSE
tion in the future, and as we'll as are
the other members of my party"
Some people may think that Mr..
Peck is to vehement in his declara-
ton, but if they will 20 up to Alaska
and find out how these enterprisins
people who settle that country are
hampered by the government, which
extends them no aid, and gives them
no privileges they will feel about IL
the same as does Mr.. Peck. The
policy of the present administration
is simply unbearable toward Alaska
and is so in contrast with that OF
the Canadian government that it
has caused several hundred thous-
and Americans to settle on the Can
adian side of the line. and this is
simply because that government Of
fers them opportunities and after
they reach there treats them in a
friendly manner The only use our

ANOTHER DANGER TO HUMAN
ITY.

The terrible doctors are constant
" making the world unhappy by tell
ing OF the dangers which beset the
human race. On Monday a learned
professor delivered a lecture at sa-
lem pointing out that 1t was possible
for human beings to become infected
with tuberculosis through bovine
products. Children, he said, would
get the disease from the use Of
milk. He claims that all the man.
mails are suceptable to this fell de-
stroyer.
The doctors have been assuring us
for several years that the tubercu-
losis desolate was on the decline.
and that we are now to get it from
the gentle COW and other unlocked
for sources is indeed dlscouraging.
DR.. Woods Hutchinson seems to
think that "under-feeding and over
work are responsible for more deaths
from tuberculosis than any other ten
factors" In other words, give peo-
pie plenty to eat and a chance to rest
and they will largely escape the
white plague.
