At least that seems to he the opinion of some people who have grown vegetables here. It iJ also no- ticeable around the city that when the tundra is drained in places grass o' great height and of good quality comes up. This may look like Q small matter in itself as the market for such pro- duce Is not great but if we could only look into the future we might be nole to imagine the tundra nt some time the scene of many farms and a great population This Is a mighty tong way ofY, of course. but fin the nearer future 1t might not be absurd to see fairly large city. whose chief industry would be quartz mining. supported by the farm products of the district i'm mediately around 1t.

 How is 1t possible that men with such . slight knowledge of an impor- tant territory could manage to secure . place on . committee of congress on naval a1airs? Surely men who have the destiny of the navy in their keeping should know more about the countries from which 1t h considered possible to secure Q supply of coal for the ships of the navy.
 It is really funny to think of grown up legislators speaking of packing down coal from the mountains on the backs .of dogs. but surely the gentie- man who suggested that the coal would have to be rolled down the mountain sides must have been 1ok- ing. If 1t was Q joke 1t would be bad and if he were serious 1t would be worse.
 However, such things as that Ire we'll calculated to instii in us the spivit of modesty. Sometimes we may be inclined to think we are the whole shooting match but evidently there are at least some members .Of the national legislature who are totally blind to the sort of animals wo are.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JULY te, 1918.

Now that the government of the United States is taking a hand in the work of developing Alaska 1t Is not unreasonable to suggest that in times to come 1t win enter still more closely into the industrial life of the territory. Railroads will be built without doubt and when the whistle of the locomo- tive is heard through the forests of Alaska the government will no doubt come to realize that the revenues Of the railroads can be augmented by developing the resources all over the territory which the roads will open.
 There is no reason, for instance. why the government cannot later on establish plants where they arc need ed for supplying power for mining purposes. In some of the western states the government builds irriga- ton ditches at a cost of almost countless millions and afterwards gets its money back from the fees charged to those who use the water. There may be many places where ditch for mining purposes would be just an beneficial and just as profit able as those for the production of farm stuffs.
 This is. of course. only one or two of the ways by which the govern ment could aid Alaska directly after the construction of the railroads- It is c sound commercial principle to develope a territory that railroad may be all the more profitable and there may come n time when the gov erument will find thnt 1t will be ad- vIsable to go further than building railroads.

Bullet of Supposed Assassin Lodges
in Book.

Blairsville, Pa, Dec. 21.-What is
relieved to have been an attempt 70
assassinate the Rev. R. E. Mcclure,
president of the Indiana county Anti
Saloon League, failed late last night
when a bullet penetrated a Bible
which he carried under his arm and
made e slight abrasion upon DR.. Me-
Clure's side.
DR.. Mcclure had made a sick call
and was returning home when fired
on. As the minister reached the
street leading to his home he saw two
men. AS DR.. Mcclure approached
them a whistle sounded and one Of
the men fired a revolver at him. The
minister picked up stone and hurl-
ed it at the men, running toward
them. AS the assailants retreated
the man with the revolver fell. Be-
fore DR.. Mcclure could reach him the
pan had regained his feet and fired
second time, the bullet tearing
through the minister's Bible and
clothing. Both men then fled.
Dr. Mcclure has been pastor of the
United Presbyterian Church here for
twenty-five years.

MAKING FOR CHARLESTON.
Gaillard Woman Left Vance by Boat,
Now Thought,

Orangeburg, December 21.-It is
believed that Mary Gaillard, the ne
gro woman charged with attacking
and severely wounding Mrs. Sue e.
Cannon, at the latters home, in the
Vance section of Orangeburg county,
Thursday night, has already arrived
in or is on her way to Charleston,
where she is said to have lived be-
fore going to the Vance community,
about two years ago.
This is the latest information re-
ceived from the scene of the difficult
tv. However, having no assurance
that the woman has really left that
vicinity, the officers are still search
ing for her All trains on the Preg-
Iall branch of the Atlantic Coast
Line, which traverses that section of
The county, have been watched since
the attack on Mrs. Cannon, and so
far as known. nobody answering the
description of the fugitive has at
tempted to leave the neighborhood
by rail.
The fact that Mrs. Cannons son-in-
law, Capt w. J. Morgan, is the con-
Guctor of the train running between
Creston and Pregnall might have de-
tered the suspect from trying to
make her escape by train, which
strongly indicates, according to the
authorities, that the woman has prob
ably left the community by boat on
the Santee River, with Charleston
as her destination.
Information received at late hour
tonight relative to the condition Of
Mrs. Cannon, who is still in this city
at the residence of her daughter, Mrs
Morgan, was that Mrs. Cannon was
doing as we'll as could be expected
under the circumstances and that in
all probability she will recover. While
she received a number of wounds At
tie hands of her ferocious assailant.
it is said that a careful examination
disclosed that none of them is serious
enough to cause death unless blood
poisoning, which the doctors are tak-
ms precautions to prevent, sets in.
The Gaillard woman is described
as being slightly darker than copper
colored, but not black. She is said
to have a very small face and head,
the latter peculiarly shaped.
