POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Primaries and state conventions all
over the country are engaging the at
tention of the politicians this week.
President Taft has captured the
North Carolina delegation and his sup
porters are declaring that he will carry
still more Southern states.
Friends of Colonel Roosevelt say
that from now on until the republican
national convention meets in Chicago
in June the colonel will exhibit his
strength, which he has not been anX-
ious to have known.

chiefs. Recently Chief Carter was sus-
pended for three weeks. The mayor
appointed his successor, and then on
the very day Of his suspension re-
appointed him, so there will be tive

down near him. The stranger intro

the senator in the most glowing terms.
He taffied the senator for ten minutes,

OLD SKELETON is FOUND
Bones of Primitive Man Are Found
at EIlensburg.

Ellensburg.-A skeleton of prim-
tive man, with forehead sloping d.
rectly back from the eyes and with
two rows of teeth in the front of his
upper jaw, was uncovered here when
contractors were excavating for an
apartment house.
The skeleton was found in the &C.
ment rock formation, over which was
a layer of shale rock. The rock was
perfectly dry and doctors say that the
skeleton could have remained in that
formation hundreds of years without
rotting. The jaw bone, which broke
apart when removed, is so large that
it will go around the face of the man
of today. The other bones are also
much larger than that of ordinary
men. The femur bone is 20 inches
long, which, according to scientific
men, would indicate that the man was
80 inches tall, or approximately six
feet and eight inches.

When Leather Was Money.

Leather was very early used as a
currency, the Romans employing it for
this purpose before either gold. silver
or brass came into common use. His
tory is full of references showing that
leather was used by the ancients as a
sort of circulating medium Of ex-
change 1t Is said on good authority
that, so late as during the reign OF
Louis XII. of France the country be-
came so impoverished and as a con-
sequence money was so scarce that
little pieces Of leather with small
silver nail driven through each were
in general use as money. Some few
specimens of this leather money are
still in existence. but are only to be
found in the possession Of numisma-
lists, by whom they are highly priced.

gross from Alaska and the Governor of the Territory, all getting interest ed in the project of a building for Cordova, we have reason for seeing visions of that hundred thousand dol lars being expended in our midst in building an edifice that will be a credit to the territory and reflect the wisdom of Congressional action.

A petition is being circulated in Skagway for the pardon of Sam C.. Orchard who is now serving two years in Leavenworth.
 Although the petition has been here but two days it has been signed by most of the citizens and as no one has as yet refused to sign it is safe to say that the peti- ton will bear the signatures of every citizen here.
 The conviction of Sam C. Orchard for embezzlement of Alaska road fund money has been a source of great re- gret to his many friends and all of them believe that his acts were miS- takes of the head and not of the heart and they believe that the ends of justice have been entirely subserv- ed and no good could come by his further detention.
 It is the hope of the Alaskan that President Taft may see it this way and grant the petition. z

iSe. In most instances such a man should be able to make deductions which many a prospector is unable to make for himself. In fact, geo logiSt might often be able to deter mine when an expenditure on a property would mean absolute waste of time and money. On the other hand. a geclogist should be able to tell where there are reasonable chances of success. Of course. there are instances in which the opinion of a geologist cannot be accepted as final and probably no more definite than those of the proSpector, but such are the exception rather than the rule, and the expert advice will be of infinite value to the miners of this region. The benefits will re douDd to the territory and the Do- mtaion.
 Copper. coal and other properties, as well as gold-bearing quartz, can oe examined. The drill also should be of value in examination of all such properties. Yukon had an al leged diamond drill expert once upon time. but from what is understood this IS to be a business proposition, one in which q qualified man is to be kept busy doing real work on promising properties.
 The announcement by wire today that Dr. D. D. Cairnes, Dominion geoIogist, will come to Yukon to have charge of the work, is most gratfy- .ng. Probably no more able nor en- thusiastic man could be secured. The News has worked long to get pr. Cairnes sent here in this capacity, and is pleased to know that, with the added efforts of Dr. Thompson, the movement is crowned with success. Credit also must be given the Dawson Board of Trade and the Yukon Miners association, and the people and the press of Southeastern Yukon for aid in the matter.
 Dr. Cairnes last year expressed a desire to come here for the geological work. Few. if any, better could be obtained. In addition, he has the ad- vantage of knowledge of the ter ritory and keen desire to work in this field. pr. Thompson has favor cd his coming and so have others in positions of influence.

The Valdez Chamber has been fortunate that it possessed a few t;reless workers and great credit is due them for their efforts, It is not fair they should be permitted to Cs-ry the whole load, nor is it fair to the best interests of the town It Is only through united action on the part Of her citizens that valdez will be pushed to the front and her busi' ness interests receive proper attenus 2
