Twenty-Five years ago F. G. Minas

windows had not been washed for
months. and a grindstone occupied most
of the room in the window. That was
twenty-five years ago. Mark the

He would be ashamed to cut himself

mold was sent against Col. st. Leger
who was on the point of capturing Fit.
Stanwix While the report that our
entire army had been defeated at
Bennington caused him to raise the
seige and return to Oswego.
But TO Burgoyne ii was the saddest
blow. In his defense he says: THE
circumstances of the action at Ben
nington established a yet more mel
ancholy conviction of the fallacy of
any dependence upon supposed
friends. The noble Lord German,
has said that never despaired OF the
campaign before the affair at Ben
nington-that had no doubt of gain
ing Albany, in as short time as the
army, in due condition of supply.
could accomplish the march. | ac-
knowledge the truth of the assertions
in their fullest extent, all my letters
at the time show it, | will go further
and in one sense apply with the noble
Lord the epithet fatal" TO the affair
at Bennington. The knowledge | &C
quired OF the professors of loyalty
was fatal" and put an end to every
expectation from enterprise, UNI
sustained by dint or force. 1t would
have been excess of frenzy to have
trusted for sustenance TO the plenti-
full region of Albany. Had the march
thither been unopposed, the enemy
finding the British army unsupplied,
would only have had to compel the
Tories TO drive off the cattle and de-
stroy the corn and the capitulation of
Albany instead of Saratoga must have
followed.
In these last words we
have a frank admission of the work
ings of the brave generals mind. At
Bennington he was convinced of
that which he had refused to believe
before that, not only were the In
dams no use, but a detriment TO him,
but that his hitherto cherished hope,
that he might expect something from
those, we called Tories, was an
ignis fatuus-a pipe dream. To find
that out was, under the conditions,
to find out that his days were num-
bered, no matter where the end
came. He was reduced in numbers,
not over thirty five hundred or 1000
effective men crossing the Hudson
with him. He was deserted, as We
have seen, by his Indians and most
of his Canadians and Provincials
He heard nothing from the south and
report from st. Leger only heightened
the gloom. There were only three
days provisions, short allowance, on
hand He was beset on his tanks,
his depots behind him were also be-
set by men released from guarding
stores here The army ahead was
daily growing in numbers: You say,
he delayed nearly month! He had
to, failing in the supply he expected
from Bennington and vicinity. He
must bring ii up from the rear as
best he could, lacking both horses,
wagons and men. Do you ask why
didn't he make another attempt in
this region. as might have been ex-
pected? He tells us himself in words
that mean even more than they say.

 upon the beauties of conservation as applied in Alaska.
 He was personally opposed to the proposed leasing system of the coal lands, fearing it would tend to a monopoly more com pletc than if the lands were per mitted to be acquired by pur- chase or location. He doubted the practicability of the government owning and operating the coal mines and transportation facili- ties, but the people of katalla were desirOus of seeing some thing done during their lifetime and would welcome almost any plan which would open the mines. He believed, however, that noth- ing would be done until after the presidential election, as the con ScrvationiSis of the Eastern states were too numerous for any party tO run the risk of oppOs- ing their pet schemes on the eve of an election.
 Mr. Thompson said KatalIa would welcome tho building of a government railroad from Valdez 0r any other coast town to inter- for Alaska which would serve to open the country fO development. He urged unified action on the part of tho chambers of com mcrcc in placing literature be- fore the people of the states which would serve as an cduca- tional campaign on the injustice which was being done to Alaska and it's pioneers by keeping the great national resources of the territory tied up.
