M'REYN0LDS KILLS
 ALL ALASKA LAWS
May Be Necessary to Have New Ses- sion of Territorial Legislature to
 Provide For Defects.

JUNEAU, Dec. 24.-District Attor- ney Rustgard today received com munication from the attorney general holding that the Alaska territorial legislature cannot impose additional duties upon federal officers.
 The attorney general holds that it is not part of the duty of marshals, clerks, the fish commissioner or any of their deputies to enforce the laws placed on the statute books by the First Alaska territorial legislature.
 The decision of he Department of Justice will make void the poll tax and license laws passed by the ter ritorial legislature as no provision was made to carry the laws into eff feet and no courts were established in which to settle the disputes.
 Considerable pressure is being bought to bear upon Governor Srtong to have him call an extra session of the legislature to devise ways and means of carrying out the laws en- acted. It is believed that territorial courts will have to be established.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER "A, 1915
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

We are on the eve of the worlds greatest anniversary. We are cele- brating time that does more to bury the hatchets of long standing feuds, and establish the cdlner reign of peace and friendship in the hearts of men than any other public day that we have ever known. It $ the Christ mas spirit that permeates the atmos- phere, and for this time we throw away restraint and cur own self-cen- tered interests and really remember that there are others travelling along the plains of Time whose degree Of gladness and good will measures our own, and for whom the pleasures and ioys of receiving are lost in the great CT blessings of Christmas giving. It is g time when the whole of the Christian world seems to rise above its normal self and seemingly enter the portals of the Utopia of human life that poets and sages of a bygone day have lauded and sung, and phil osophers of the modern school have dreamed of. Perhaps it is because we give. But today the children of the Russian peasantry will listen eagerly for the jingling bells of St. Nicholas, and the festive halls of Germany will be lighted by thousand candles cleaning from the widespread Christ mas tree; the children of France and of Spain, of Norway and Sweden and Denmark will sing the songs of their fatherland and give. The British enl- pire today will stop the myriad wheels of it's factories and workshops and around the festive board they will gather, and England will be merry to- day. And under the folds of Cid Glory, in states that we love and places that we call home we can see the Christmas trees Of the past years and hear the singing of familiar voices and the shouting of the happy chil dren as the good old festive day rolls on. Perhaps it is because it is a day that we feel constrained to give and with our gifts enter the hearts and lives of those who receive.
 The Prospector wishes to express the hope that Valdez will spend th: best Christmas in it's history, and tha, it's people, from the youngest to the oldest, may feel on this happy oc- casion the best of Christmas joy and cheer and that these days may bring to you goodly portion of that par ticular kind of peace and good will that seems to make itself known in the celebration of Christmastide. We say again, "A merry Christmas tc you. all"

One nephew sued and was beaten. Although under the terms Of the will he was to forfeit his share for contesting. the will was so construed and interpreted that he still received his annuity. but subject to the new tombstone conditions.

CABLE SURGEON HARD AT. WORK Valdez-Liscum Cable is Sure Some Rotten-May Lay New Cable
 From Town to Fort.

The cable surgeons on the repair ship Burnside are busy working to re- pair the Valdez-Liscum cable, which was broken by the anchor of the Ala meda, and which was in very poor condition because of the use of the cable for the purpose of telephoning More current is used by the telephone system than is necessary for cabling and the cable was unable to stand the extra current.
 Chief Surgeon Lieut.. Linn and his assistant master electrician, Brouck, will lay a new cable from the post to Valdez if it is found necessary. The cable from the beach at low tide to the Valdez cable office is in very bad condition, but it will be impossible to lay a new cable because of the snow, except at an additional expense, and therefore the beach cable will be buried next summer.
 The Valdez-Sitka cable was repair ed at o'clock yesterday and is now in good woek ng order
 The Burnside will not be through her work for several days.

Mental Growth,

One fact which seems to distinguish superior from ordinary families is that. while members of the latter seem al most to stop growing at about the age of thirty-fve, the lives of the former deepen and expand even into the van ishing years of old age. A visitor re- turns to the village after an absence of ten years. He is shocked at the relative standstiII of a large part of the population. This lack of development after the age of thirty-tive or forty represents primarily an innate deficien- cy in the protoplasm of the nervous system. It is a psychological fact un. doubtedly of engenic import. Superior | individuals exhibit lengthening of the period of elasticity and growth Their personalities are correspondingly the richer from experence.-Americ MaUaZine

AN OPTICAL. ILLUSION.
Apparent Size of the Moon at the Hori.
 xon and at the Zenith.

Apparent Size of the Moon at the Hori.
 xon and at the Zenith. The moons larger appearance when near the horizon as compared with its size at the zenith Is really an optical illusion, and accurate angular meas. urements have shown that it is actual Iy trine smaller when low down. as 1t should be on account of being a lit tie more distant.
 | Adding a new attempt at explana- tion, Dr. NJ. Ponzo, an Italian phychol- ogist, compares this with an illusiox already represented by B. T. Sanford. another physchologist. Two straight lines are brought together at an acute angle at one end. two exactly equal circles being then drawn between the lines, when the circle nearer the apex appears decidedly the larger, but the illusion lessens as the angle is made less acute
 As the celestial bodies near the hori. zon. they appear in the angle formed by the earth and the declining arc of the sky. The conditions are just those of the artificial lines and circles. and Its enlargement in the narrowing angle is a contrast the moon conspicuously brings out as compared with the spec tacle 1t presents in the free sky. The fact that the apparent enlarge ment is not always the same may be due to changes in the angle by clouds or vapors.-Denver Republican.

And Presumed to Violate tho Rules

 Almost as important in the work of building the Panama canal as the blue eyed czar at Culebra (by which title. Mr. Harry A. Franck. in Zone Police man s." distinguishes Colonel Goe- thals), was Colonel Gorgas. who made and kept the zone q healthy place.
 Among the colonel's big tasks was the extermination of the mosquito, How thoroughly he did his work is humorously indicated by letter that Mr. Franck quotes:
 Gatun; 26. 1912. Dear Colonel-l am writing to call your attention to a gross violation of sanitary ordinance No. 3G2l and an apparent loop hole in your otherwise excellent depart ment. The circumstances are as follows: On the evening of - 24 as I was sit- ting at the roadside between Gatun and New Gatun (some sfxty-three paces be- yond house No 12G). there appeared mosquito which buzzed openly for some time about my ears It was probably merely male of the species. as 1t show ed no tendency to bite. but a mosquito nevertheless. trust you will take fitting measures to punish so bold and insolent a violation of the rules of your depart ment I am. sir. very truly yours.

According to secretary John B. roster,

thar the latter half of the baseball year
