BUREAUCRATISM AND EIGHT
 YEARS OF OBSERVATION.

 Future generations in the United States will be abundantly supplied with mineral and natural resources. l They would have been any how; i but with The conservation policies
 adopted by some extremists. there can now finger not the faintest shadow of a doubt on that score l Witness The remarkable procedure whereby presentday pioneers have been encouraged to sink their ener- eies, their financial resources, often their lives and all in the building up of Alaska. onlE to nave their discoy- cries their labors their investments assimilated into a conservation policy, whereby the fruits of pres
 ent day industry are put by the gov ernment in cold storage for unborn generations which way never use them
 There are in Alaska some 32000.- o00 acres of available land, accord i ing 10 F. r. Hunter, of Seattle. Els inmates hy the United States de partmeut of agriculture have placed the amount at G0OO0,OOO acres Only 1 2A.000 acres have been taken up; and of 1100 claims entered, and in many cases paid up. for lands up to 1904, the interior department has i passed on only 33. Eight years ] have now passed. with cases settled
 at the rate of four a year At this rate, it will require 2T5 years to
 clear up the docket of present
 Alaskan claims.
 AS if 10 add insult to injury, claim ants are prohibited under existing
 law from appealing to the courts i pending administrative adjudication
 in Washington. There is also no i law, regulation nor redress against i the deliberate pigeon-holing of claims
 in the land office archives, which may be done by the government to 1 prevent the cases coming to the attention of the courts. Then. too. there is no method to compel action i by the land office on pending claims. | This is especially true when the claimants exercise no voting power,
 as is the case with bona fide Alas i kans. Falcon Josln, of Fairbanks. | had even attempted to "trespass" on 1 his pending coal claims in order to
 have himself arrested, and the
 cases brought to the cognizance of
 the courts by this method; but the
 local district attorneys refused to
 make the arrests. Thus are the laws juggled by government bureaus l bureaucratic-born policy of throttling i development.
 The fundamental purpose in the public land laws of the nation is to promote and encourage the develop
 ment of the public domain; yet the government bureaus. under the guise
 of a misdirected conservation policy,
 have been engaged for eight years
 ill throttling the laws in the fur
 therance of their own policy of say
 ing our resources for future gener-
 ations.-Mining World.

There's nothing in luck and there's all in luck It's just how it's been with you, For some men muck who are made of pluck Yet never appear in view Whose wishes dame Fortune delights to balk From whom her rich smiles withhold While others who only go out for walk Fall over a vein of gold!

SAFE AND SANE COUNCIL.

4 year ago. when the present council took office. the city was carrying all indebtedness of $6.S&5 on account of outstanding warrants issued for work performed four years previously.
 In view of the financial dcpres- sion prevailing in the city. conse- quent on the failure of the Wash i ington-Alaska bank. il was not eX- pected that any part of this indcbt- edness csuld be reduced nor that any city betterments could be m- dertaken, unless the tax levy was fixed at least as high as the year be fore, the heaviest assessment in the city's history,
 By pursuing such course in he administration of the city's affairs as they would have adopted in the conduct of their own personal bus l inesses, however, the retiring com cl has not only cleared off all of the old indebtedness. but has been able to eXpend nearly five thousand dollars on the improvement of the waterfront. and Yet show a balance on hand at this date of more than i ten thousand dollars.
 And the tax levy has been cut from twenty to fifteen mills and the valuation on real estate cut ten per cent.
 Although the council of year ago had been faced with. and clearly recognized, the necessity for re- | trenchement. the expenses for the year ran nearly three thousand dollars ahead of what they have 1 been held down to this year, in spite of the fact that this year in cluded the waterfront improvement of S4,S33 and a considerable amount of work done on the improvement of the cemetery and the strengthening of Third and Fifth avenues. The saving was undoubtedly attributable to the experience gained from ser vice on previous councils by Messrs, Gordon, Driscoll and Nordale. and bers received from Messrs E. C. Heacock and E. R. Peoples
 The work of this years council stands as record of competent achievement that has never before been equaled in the city's history, yet, so quietly and unassumingly has the work been accomplished few other than those to whom tax lev 1 ies are an important factor in their business ventures, have realized the true economies that have been car ried out. And it is probably the case that not half a dozen residents of the city have taken the trouble 70 i compliment any of the members of the council on the good work they have been doing.
 1 The work of a member of the city council, in the estimation of many, commences and ends with the at tendance on Friday nights at the weekly meetings. No thought is tai en of the real work, that of the committees, streets, fire, police, etc that has to be attended to at all times, and consequently the sacri- flee of time and work that has to be made in the city's interests is not appreciated. The average cit izen knows that if anything goes wrong with the citys affairs he al ways has someone to blame for it and he is prompt in thinking up in vectives that he believes fit the case of each particular councilman. BuI if everything is running along smooth ly he entirely forgets the men who are responsible for the good worK

One night Anne got mad at Mirsndy

the wind madden drifted the snow So
As result the streets of Bingville is

front of moren two thirds of the houses
on Main ST. has snow on EN- three to

Hank Dewberry said he was glad Of
it being as it would give him a chsnst
to earn some money by shuvveling off
snow for people and that in his opinion
Providence had throwd this golden OPP
portunity in his way. Hank shuvveld
snow half day and got half dollar
for same, then he stopped and has been
losfin in Hen Weathersbys store smok-
in up tobacko which he bought with
the half dollar and says he amt goin to

Ham Wilson, our weil-lnown towns
man, purchased ham at Hen Wealth
ersby's store last week. Ham is a great
hand for ham. He says he likes to
eat ham when il chews like a pine
board. A ham don't last Ham no time.
Miss Emily Dewberry sung a solo at
church last Sunday morning and would
of did real well il she hadn't of broke
down at the beginning of the second
verse. She started in alright, but
seemed to nacherly peter out. 1t was
all Sarah Ann Gookin's fault. Sarah
whispered TO Emily that her overskirt
was open in the back and then Emily
broke down.
Mrs. Hester McCraclcin of Calamity
Corners was q Bingville visitor last

It woodent make so much difference
if the wind did blow so long as it only
