BAKER TO BE HEAD OF THE
BOSTON zoo
Advancement Is in Recognition of His
MANY Years of Work Here.

Many Years of Work Here.
A. B. Baker, assistant superintend-
ent of the National Geological Park,
who has been in Boston, looking over
the ground for new geological park,
which is to be established there, re-
turned to Washington today, with
the announcement that he expects to
Sc yer his connection with the Wash
ington park and take charge at Bos-
ton the first of the year.
II am very sorry to leave Washing
ton," Mr.. Baker said today, land l
suppose no one does leave the capital
unless he is asked or urged TO do so.
i have been connected with the Ma
tional Geological Park for twenty
three years, since two months before
the first animal was placed in it.
lin Boston considerable money is
available now for the establishment
of geological park. This comes from
what is known as the Parkman fund,
which produces 5000, 600 year. This
money was bequest for the develop
fhent of the parks of Boston proper,
and does not include the parks of
Brookline or other suburban or out
lying sections. so that the city of
Boston will be we'll supplied with
funds to develop the parks that lie in
the city.

1.-THE proposed new zoo there is in
its first year. There is but one build
ing up. l have been going there from
time to time recently, to give advice
and keep in touch with the plans.
and will go there permantly the first
of the year. They have. already
started an aquarium, and we are to
take a portion of Franklin Park and
turn it into a zoo.
''There are not many real geological
parks in the United States. New
York's Bronx Park is probably the
finest in the world. Philadelphia is
the only other one besides Washing
toms of any size in the United States
Washington's now compares with
Philadelphia. In Boston we have
no intention of trying to make the
park bigger or better than any other
We shall pattern after the others,
except that we shall carry out there
the ideas that Boston people want
carried out
TO BE SUPERINTENDENT
Mr.. Baker expressed himself as be-
ing gratified at the opportunity he
will have in Boston of being in charge
of work that will not be hampered
by lack of funds. He is to be superin-
tendent of the new zoo there, and it
is understood that the change in
position will be more lucrative one
for him.
The Superintendent of the Nation
al Geological Park here, whose
assistant Mr.. Baker has been, and
who has also been connected with
the Washington institution for many
years, is DIR. Frank Baker. Owing &c
the similarity of names there has
been some confusion as to which OF
the two has intended to leave Wash
ington-
THE above was handed to us by
Prof. Harlan who has sister in

CARE FOR THE
 AGED AND DECREPID

The Alaska legislative assembly which meets at Juneau next month should enact law for the care and maintenance of the ill, the aged and decrepid residents of this territory who may be in destitute circum stances. Under prevailing conditions in order to gain relief at the hands of the government, the destitue must be taken up on a vagrancy charge. Now there are many deserving men and women who may be short of funds when some accident or sickness over takes them, and it is not at all de- sirable that they should be classed as vagrants before government aid can be extended for their keep and medical attendance It is gross mis' homer.
 The Gateway has taken this very important matter up with Senator Ray and Representatives Boyle and Ing, ram, and We are quite sure that a bill will pass the legislature providing for those-in most cases wholly deserv, ing persons-upon whom misfortune maj have laid it's heavy and unrelent, ing hand.-Seward Gateway

NEW ALASKA ENTERPRISES
Low.Grade Ore to be Handled Exten' sively, Says Engineer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Juneau and its vicinity is at present the most pros porous section of Alaska, according to W. A. Irwin, a mining engineer, who recently returned from Alaska and is now in New York.
 And not only is that section pros. porous at the present time" said Mir. Irwin. but four or five large enter prises are about to be launched in the way of quartz mining. Low-grade gold mining is about to be started on a scale that has never been attempt ed before. and when the tunnels are driven and the reducing mills complet- ed. a larger tonnage will be handled than has ever been attempted at any gold mine before. Some of the biggest mining men in the country are back of these enterprises, and when fully equipped, the mines will be the larg- est gold mines in the world
 That section of Alaska is going to be a great mining country. The i'm mense tonnage of low-grade ore in sight insures long life to the mines, and in some of the plants already in operation the cost of mining and treat ment of the ore has been reduced to 75 cents a ton, so a profit can be made on exceedingly low grade ore if han. dled on a sufficiently large scale.
 "There is no question about the quantity of ore; the development of that section is complete. The trou- ble heretofore has been to get suftic- tent capital to work ores showing a very small profit a ton, but which if worked wholesale yield a good re- turn.
 "The people who are going into low grade gold mining are those who have made such a success in low grade cop per mining in the past. The comple- tion of their new enterprises at Ju- neau will mark a new era in mining in Alaska"

Santo Domingo is an earthly para dise-if you have capital-according to S. R. Giusberg, Yale graduate and chief engineer of construction for a large sugar concern which is devel- oping SOOOO acres of land into sug- ar cane plantation. Mir Gisberg has just returned recently to New York from Domingo City, via Porto Rico
 with a million dollars capital you might get a very fair start" he said, but it takes three to five millions to get really large sugar plantation started. because the cultivation of sug- ar does not pay on small scale but yields very large returns on a large scale of operation. We are clearing tract of virgin forest forty miles long and building twenty-five miles of standard guage railroad; that may giveyou some idea of the magnitude of operations down there.
 "The Americans are developing the land. while the Germans are strongly intrenched in banking and commerce, There are practically no Americans in either of these lines.
 Land may be bought for $S to $lO an acre. while in Porto Rico it costs S2OO but the main expense is the cost of clearing and preparing the virgin forest soil. The first years expenses for preparing land for growing sugar cane is about $50 an acre, but there are practically no eXpensesthereafter for the next twenty-five years as the virgin land does not need to be plowed more than once in a quarter century in contrast with Porto Rico, where the soil has been cultivated for SC long that they have to use steam blows costing from $2O,OOO to $a5, 900.
 We use only picks. A man makes hole in the ground and sticks a joint of sugar cane in just as you plant an eye of a potato. That's all there is to it.

He said that good lays were now hard to secure on Long creek, even at 25 per cent royalty. Some lays had been let on Long creek where the claim-owner received 30 per cent royalty.

The mo Toy" Theory.


There was woman, rather promi-
nent socially. who had a pet theory on
which she always fell back. Her slo-
gan was "Sticks and stones for chill
dren." She believed, in effect that
children could get along quite well
without any toys save sticks and
stones, that the fewer playthings they
had the better off they were. She ar
gued very convincingly. Of course
when you found out that she had no
chick or child of her own, but was.
moreover, a spinster, your faith In her
theory perhaps was somewhat shock
ed The theory was right nevertheless,
as you doubtless are forced to admit
when you ponder on the happiness of
the children you know Without a
question toys do not mean happiness.
If you are believer in the no toy
theory the summer is the best time to
put it into practice. for in summer
there are many things which an out OF
door loving child can find to take the
place of toys. Doubtless the child who
has only limited number of toys and
is therefore forced to amuse itself with
out them most Of the time has better
chance to develop its resourcefulness
and Imagination and its power of get,
ting happiness and amusement wher-
ever it may he than the child who is
snrfeited with toys.

explained. IF any one finds a picture
