SAVING THE TIM BIER.

Depletion of Alaska's timber supply is going to be stopped by desperate measures if the federal government has to neglect other business to stop the leak. A notice posted on the interior wall Of the Seward pos.- office informs H. N .Hohen that Uncle sam has seized 75 cords of wood cut for him, alleging that 1t was cut. on the public domain in. stead of on adjacent land. P. ]. Nurphy is similarly notified that 142 piles cut by him have been seized by the government. This Is the result Of the benefiCent laws govern ing Alaska, which forbid a settler 10 cut timber for his own use that will rot and go to waste if he doesn't cut it. The government spends more annually in holding up settlers for the official price of a little wood than it gets out of all the stumpage cut. Meanwhile more timber is falling to decay than is used for all purpose. Great is the wisdom of the East Valdez Miner.

THIS IS UNKINO.

Gamblers are used to being accused used to being arrested. fined and i'm
 risoned. There is nothing about exposure that especially strikes ter the other hand there is something terrible to an official of the state 10 be accused of treason to his trust. He is hired to protect the public; instead of this, he protects the vi cious to his own profit.
 For the public to know of these things is the official death of the man. No gambler ever committed murder on account of being ac- cused in court or in public print. This is all part of the great game.
 But over and over in history you will find that officers of the law. when caught with the goods on !hem, commit suicide, unable to bear the shame and humiliation of exposure. In very truth, Herman Rosenthal was not murdered either by the gamblers or the police-he was murdered by a political system. and this system is a partnership be- tween the police and the criminals The system killed RDsenthal because he threatened tO destroy if thrOuph exposure. This system has long endured. It springs naturally into being. It is as old as ancient Greece, when pirn'es paid money for protection.

THE ,ROSENTHAL MURDER
By Elbelt Hubbard

It seems that Herman Rosenthal l gambler, had been forced into partnership wi,h the police, and that one certain police lieutenant had pressed Rosenthal- to the point of bankruptcy.
 In spirit of recklessness the man was about 70 give away the whole situation when lie was shot OF a public street. Seven policemen were within hearing distance of the shooting and hundreds of spectators were at hand. but the murderers escaped.
 The police charge that the shoot ing was done by gamblers who were at enmity with Rosenthal
 One sure thing: Rosenthal's body was filled with cold lead and the man is dead The next fact is that he was about to turn states evidence when he was killed. His testimony would have incriminated two parties; one, the gamblers who paid for pro lection, and the other the police who accepted money from the gamblers.
 In the light of layman. gamblers would not be sufficiently injured by anything a fellow gambler might say about them to be guilty of mur- der. "Squealers" are numerous. Gamblers. like any other conscience less men. are not reckless until they are cornered.

THE LATEST STRIKE.

The latest new placer strike in the great north is in the Kuskok- vim watershed and recent accounts of il sound better than anything since the Iditarod three years ago The new camp is known as Bear creek and is al the head of the Tulic- sak river. about ninety miles up the Kuskokwim river from Bethel. From the mouth of the Tulicsak it is about 120 miles from Bear creek. Pay has been located on Bear creek. Tiny creek and on the Bonanza. The ground is shallow. being from two to eight feet to bedrock. and the pay is what would be called a coarse run of gold The ground is thaWed and is wet and the only ne hod Of working it, so far, on ac- count of the water, is by digging a bedrock drain and drawing off some of the water. Even by that method only the high points of the bedrock can be cleaned As is usual in all new places the country is even at this time staked to the sky line, and any new arrivals in the camp will be forced to either make new discoveries or be content to take lays on the ground already staked. The gold runs high in value ranging from $l3.23 to $l9.45 per ounce.-Douglas News
