J. E. Chilberg, president of the chamber of commerce, and F. w. Baker are among the Seattle men subpoenaed to testify before government special agents who are taking testimony on the Boring river coal cases in the federal building, commencing November H. R. s. Henrick and c. D. Hamel, special government agents, will summon the witnesses next Tuesday to testify in re- gard to the Doughton and other coal groups, says a Seattle paper A review of the case shows that the government charges Harry White, former mayor of Seattle, aud others with locating coal claims by means of dummy entrymen, and organizing aud incorporating a company by fraud to take over fifteen of tbe thirty.nine claims in the group. Miss Cora Anderson and Miss N. L. Airey, steuographers, who incorporated the Alaska Clean Smokeless Anthra- cite Coal company here in 1908 at the supposed request of White, will testify White is now under indictment and facing criminal prosecution in Spo- kane One of the women was known as the president and the other as the secretary-treasureEau the company was supposed to have sl0,0O0,0OO iR stock
 The editor of the Peters burg, Alaska, Progressive, with Seattle's efforts to aid Nome in mind, says the people of this city have their good points after all, but concludes with the unkind re- mark chat "at the same time 1t would be a wise thing for us never to forget for one moment to keep our hands in our pockets as we pass through" and much more of the same sort, intimat- ing Chat SeattIe's interest in the North is largely selfish, and that the average Alaskan. unless be is of suspicioue nature, is due for trimming whenever he visits this city, says the P 1. Unfor- tunately for both Seattle and Alaska, distrust has been created by repetition of this and similar statements. The average Alaska editor makes this or some similar fling with persistent reg ularity; it seems to be fashion, as it were, and much of it is jocular, at that. it is seldom meant to do harm, but the harm is done just the same. Relatione between Seattle aud Alaska should not be jared just now by any disturbing factor. These statements are disturb ing. Seattle has 8 sentimental as we'll as a material interest in Alaska. It is looking to the future of that some time.to-be great American common wealth. Seattle men in large number have lived in Alaska. Many former Alaskans now live in Seattle. Seattle does get money from Alaska, but that is because Alaska finds it cheaper and more convenient to buy it's goods here than elsewhere. Seattle does not deal with Alaska matters in any patronizinR, bless you-my child spirit, but in @ spirit of equality. The brains and courage conspicuous in Alaska are ad. mired in Seattle. What both need is a little more of personal intimacy. More Seattle men should visit Alaskans on their own ground. Go North oftener. The Alaskan comes South whenever he has the opportunity. A little reef procity in this matter of visits would lend different perspectiveto theNhole scene.

An Ottawa QlSpdJCu says J hs CarnwaI, NIL. A., of the Peace river district, is urging that the Dominion government open negotiations with the United States for the purchase of the port of Skagway or for trade of the same in exchange for a strip of other territory. The matter of making trade of Bermuda territory for a strip to give southern Yukon an ocean outlet wac broached a year or two ago.
 Atlin, which ten years ago was a sort of second Klondike, has this year had the second best year in it's history as a gold producer. The banner year was 1899, when the shallow placer diggings were first aopened. J. M. Rufner, a Seattle operator, made three cleanups this year on his property, aggregating Sl54,OOO. In the frst cleanup his men took out S71 ,OOO worth of gold from a section of bedrock sixteen feet square.
 sI have failed to comprehend the reason for the protection of tbe hair seals in Alaska" said Capt. Harry ". Dorhn, who is iu charge of the army transport service at St. Michael "lhe seals kill more salmon in one day than their skins are worth l think that the hair seals should be killed off as quick Iy as possible, as they destroy thou sands of fish each year Oregon and Washington are taking the right step m destroying the seals at the mouth of the Columbia, and ] believe chat laws should be passed for the eradication of the animals in the North. The fur seal, which bears the only valuable seal skins is scarce in Alaska. The salmon haul in Alaska depends many times on the run of the seals."
 It must be a hard blow to those cal amity howlers who for years have in- sisted that the Guggenheims were gob- bling up all of Alaska, to read of big mining capitalists investing millions of dollars in properties around Juneau, and also the coming of the Granby Smelling Go. to Valdez. The howlers succeeded in discouraging the Alaska Syndicate from further investment and for several years prevented other monied men from taking chance of losing their regulations as well as their money, by investing in Alaska. But a change in sentiment has occurred throughout the country and the big interests are again taking on courage and venturing with their resources into this bouuteous territory of Alaska. -Chitina Leader
