The Chicago mter-ocean discusses Alaska matters in the following edi- torial strain:
 ID. NJ. Stewart, of Seward, Alaska, writes informingly in recent issue of the San Francisco Call of the needs of that territory, whose material devel, opment has practically stood still for seven years because Mir. Roosevelt had bad dreams about 'Guggenheims,' and the 'conservationists' have never since been willing to give Alaska a chance to grow unless they could pre- scribe the pattern.
 "The proof of Alaska's industrial and commercial stagnation is seen when figures are compared. Alaska's trade with the mainland in 1911 was S55 924, ,4O4.OOO Her average trade for the years 19O4-l911 was $55,S62,O77 When a country of Alaskas enormous natural resources fails to show any more increase of business than the fig, ures of 1911 show when compared with the eight-year average it is evident that some exterior force Is holding that country back,
 What has caused Alaska's recent troubles. according to Mir. Stewart, was the circulation and widespread acceptance of yarn to the effect that there were just two good coal fields in Alaska, which certain grasping, greedy malefactors' of New York had conspired to gobble up, to the ever lasting injury of the shivering resi- dents of Alaska and the eternal i'm poverishment of the American peo

An Eastern View of the
 Alaska Coal Question

ple Most of us remember the cry of alarm that was raised and how MT. Roosevelt responded by withdrawing from entry every inch of coal land in Alaska.
 "The residents of Seward are now paving SIT a ton for British Columbia coal when within 15O miles of them are enormous supplies of better coal which could be laid down at their doors at a good profit at $5 to $6 per ton. if they were only allowed to mine it. Such a situation is beyond even the imagination of comic playright It had to happen in jrder to be be- ieved, even on he farce-comedy stage.
 Tt is quite possibly true that cer- tain men of great wealth sought to gain possession of valuable coal de- posits in Alaska. But in stopping so- called 'malefactors' to whom he hap pened to have a particular aversion' Mir. Roosevelt forgot all about the thousands of men of very small means in Alaska who wanted and needed Alaska coal. ..
 MT. Stewart says that public senti' ment in Alaska favors rational leas ing system of coal lands as the ex pedient course under present condi tions Alaska should certainly be per mitted to mine and use her own coal The further continuance of the dead lock of the past seven years would be simply idiotic. No wonder that oorr Americans in Alaska openly advocate secession and annexation to Canada

The acquisition of the seal islands or rather the leasing of the real rock eries-by the Alaska Commercial Co.,, reads like a romance. The Priby- lov islands, which compose the fam ous seal rookeries, were discovered by a Russian man-of-war, during the Rus sian occupation of Alaska When the United States took over Alaska from the Russians, an officer in the Russian navy. who was on board the warship which found the seal rookeries, thought he saw an opportunity to make some money, and he did. He is now living on the fat of the land in San Francisco.
 The officer left his warship and pro, ceeded to the Golden Gate city. To the SIosses he told of the seal rocker ies. saying that if they would declare him in on the profits which might be gained through the sale of seal skins,

he would pilot one of their vessels to the scene. The offer was readily ac- cepted by the Slosses.
 In 1869 a vessel left San Francisco barbor. ostensibly enroute to the Sand wich islands, but in reality bound for the seal rookeries. The Russian naval officer was aboard. The Pribyloy isl onds were reached in due time, and the rookeries were there, as the Rus sian had claimed.
 The Alaska Commercial company was formed by San Francisco people and by the aid of the Califoria dele gation in Congress, twenty-year lease was obtained by it to the seal isl ands. The company was allowed to kill as many seal as it wished, for which it paid the government $2 per skin royalty.
 Of course no attention was paid to the matter in Congress, as Alaska was considered of no importance anyway

CLAIM PIG SERUM
 CURES TUBERCULOSIS

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 19-After thir- teen years of research work, Dr. J. H. Burgan, of Minneapolis, has discov- cred a tuberculosis cure which a news paper, the Daily News, today claims rivals that recently announced by Dr. Frederick Franz Friedman of Der lin.
 Healthy pigs furnish the serum pro- vided in pr. Burgan's alleged cure This is injected in such a way, he as serts, as to strengthen the resistance of the cells in the body.
 Dr. Burgan asserts that the real cause for lung disease is weak resist ance of the body and insists that the only cure is to strengthen the resist ance so germs cannot live.

AS TO BRYAN, HOKE SMITH

 "wen, couldn't you tell us in execu- tive session whether he is to be-" smilingly inquired Senator William AL den Smith of Michigan.
 Probably I could" was the reply "but I have found that what happens in executive session in the Senate al ways becomes known publicly soon after. and sometimes in twisted form.

NATIVE UPRISING
 PROVES A MYTH

Dr. H. O. Schaleben, representing the bureau of education, and Deputy Marshal Goshaw, representing the U. S. marshars office, accompanied by Al Chamberlain and his dog team, reached Seward Saturday afternoon, from trip of investigation into the reported attempt on the life of Mir. and Mrs Cooper, government school teachers at Tyonok, at the hands of the native in' habitants. They were gone three weeks.
 Tn deputy marshars report to his office is to the effect that he could find no evidence which justified him in be- Heving that the natives had designs on the lives of the teachers; that the charges are entirely groundless,
 Dr. schalaben found some of the na- lives in absolute want, while all of them. in measure, are destitute There are over hundred in the VIZ cinity of Tyonok. He gave tempo rary relief to those in immediate dis tress, and will urge his department to provide for all of them.
 The destitution is due, the officials report. to several causes. The natural inclination of the aborigines to fail to provide for the future is ascribed as probably the chief cause. Last sum- mer they made no provision for the winter period. Then there is no work this winter; again, fish and fur are scarce. In winter heretofore the na- tives had a good demand for snow shoes which they manufactured in the fall and winter. This winter they had orders for but a hundred pair, as against three hundred in former years. And the price is lower, being but $2 as against $3 i ntimes gone by. The natives also suffer, just the same as white folks, from the high cost of iiy- ing Prices have advanced.
 The special object of the investiga- lions results in the complete exonera- ton of the natives. At the same time the trip was not made in vain. as distressful state of affairs was re- vealed which warranted immediate at tention.
