Prince Rupert entertained royalty last week in the person of Canada's governor-general, the Duke of Con naught, who with the Duchess of Con- uaught and the Princess Patricia, is touring the western provinces.
 The horticultural and floral display made at Skagway last Saturday, the oc- casion of her first annual exposition, was revelation, not only to strangers present, but to many actual residents of Skagway who had not formerly wit messed the results of their neighbours labors and attempts along the lines of things agricultural. There were various exhibits of twenty or more varieties of flowers from one garden and grown and cultivated, not by hired gardener, but by the "old man" at odd hours. In addition to the flowers, there was re- markedly fine display of vegetables, it being seldom that finer cabbage, pota- toes, celery, cauliflower and turnips are seen in any latitude or longitude Whitehorse Star.
 The delay in passing the appropria- tion bill has made it impossible for the United States geological survey to carry out all the field plans for Alaska that had been formulated for 1912, but the funds that became available by emergency appropriations made it pos sible to dispatch several of the smaller parties for a full seasons work. and others started for Alaska promptly as the appropriation permitted. In South eastern Alaska the survey proposes this year to study the gypsum and marble deposits. MT. B. F. Burchard, who sailed from Seattle about the first of September, has been put in charge of this work and will visit. the marble deposits near Wraugell and at the north end of Prince of Wales island.
 Away out in Alaska man spanked his wife because she refused to get his breakfast in time for a hard journey through storms and drifts to distant prospect. She tried for divorce and was refused, the court agreeing with the man that she needed the spanking for her own good, says the Baltimore Sun. While it is impossible to become enthusiastic over the proposition that wives may be spanked with impunity (or any other weapon, for that matter), and in spite of our disinclination to agree with England's common law that man may correct his wife with any stick not thicker than his thumb, since he is responsible for her good behavior, this news from AIaska is interesting. Will any of the sex deny that in these latter days there are women who are not worth their salt-lazy, shiftless, idle, small. minded, unproductive? Do not judge the Alaskan gentleman harshly. Remember, this sturdy miner had serious business on hand. The na- ture of bis calling demanded early ris- ing, long, cold marches, encounters with death. He was entitled to his breakfast hot and properly cooked. and it was the business of his life partner to get up and cook it. If she didn't do her part, she had no rights that he was bound to respect. If she had to under go the humiliation of spanking, at least it was the honest expression of indignation, and doubtless it hurt him more than it did her, even if not in the same way.
