day decided against the Columbia
Brewing company of st. Louis in
its suit to recover for car Of beer

shipped by the company from itself
to itself, the delivery was completed
when the car reached its destination
and so was subject to seizure.
The judge asserted that as a mat
ter of law, d. II. Holt, cashier OF the
Mineral State bank. was the agent
for the brewery. He based this on
the fact that the draft with bill OF
lading attached, was sent to the
bank Holt is the president or the

 That change which most of us have noticed, comes not so much from the weather. as from the con veniences of travel and the better houses and modern appliances for comfort In the early days, when one had to mush over the trails from the coast to the interior and carry all his provisions on his back and sleep in the snow banks, 1t was easily believed that Alaska was the coldest country under the heavens. In fact, should an easterner start from Boston to mush to Bangor, this winter, carrying his beans and bacon on his back and sleep out In the snow for a month, he would have identically the same stories to tell of the frightful hardships and cold of the Atlantic coast country.
 We all remember, that Is, those of us who are approaching or have pass ed life's meridian. the days when it was so cold in Iowa and Minnesota, that half the people of the East said it would never amount to anything as an agricultural country. Thirty years ago they could not raise corn in Min nesota and South Dakota. Today they are the big corn raising states of tre union. and the weather has not chang ed to any considerable extent.
 It Is not that Alaska is actually any warmer today than twenty years ago 1t is simply that Alaska never wAa A cold country.-Skagway Alaskan.

For the past few years there has been persistent rumor that the Japanese current had been diverted by some subterranean or submarine kink which had caused it to flow nearer the north Pacific coast, thus mellowing the Alaska climate. When the geodetic ships came north from the sound this spring, they were given orders to ascertain If there had been any change in the ocean currents, but they have made no report which has yet been given to the public The rumor. however. has been passed along until now it has assumed the import ance of truth. and there are plenty oi people who are willing to swear to its authenticity.

 Nome would also be brought much closer to the outside in winter and the trip from this city both for mails and passengers would be reduced by some thing like two weeks.
 But. after all, this Is only looking at the matter from local point of view The building of the railroads will mean the coming of very great numbers of people into the territory because the railroads will mean the opening of the mines. Great popula- ton will mean larger cities and the development of agriculture to supply them. It will also mean the discovery of more resources and thus will the territory be launched on It's voyage to statehood.

The democratic party Is already de- clared to be on the verge of disrup- ton. In short time Hearst Is going to open war on Wilson. and Dix and Murphy are going to fight both. Bryan wli fall out with the president and Champ Clark will fight with Bryan. At least this is the way they have matters figured out just at present according to advices from outside. But these things may not happen af- ter all. It is hardly likely at least that they will happen when President Wilson has three or four years of his term to serve. Later on something may occur but politicians usually do not oppose the man in power unless they see chance to depose him pretty soon. That would be bad politics and foolish and Hearst, Dix. Murphy ct al. are anything but fools.
