SET ALASIIA FREE"
 SAYS SETH MANN

Being excerpts from an interview by the Alaska and Northwest Min ing Journals representative with the personal representative of President Wilson on the recent S,O0O-mile tou of Alaska taken by many nota0les under the auspices Of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 The great cry of Alaska today is Open the coal fields to development work. The opening of the coal fields of Alaska is absolutely ueces- sary." 8 a
 What is most needed in my opin- ion, for the development of Alaska is transportation facilities and the formulation of land laws that will be adaptable to conditions in Alaska that are different from those in the States. It would not only build ra,L roads, but suitable trails and roads, and maintain them throughout the year" #
 Alaska and Washington are draw ing closer together and the day is coming. and not far distant when the marvellous resources of that great territory to the north of us will be opened to development through leg islation enacted at the national cap ttol.'
 Alaska has suffered. We have seen wonderful agricultural re sources. We have seen some won- derful mines-some of them tho most wonderful in the world. We saw great bands of reindeer that will some day form one of the food sources of the nation"
 My trip through the territory was full of proofs ot the assertions that Alaskaus have 1laimed for it-a Ian rich in natural resources and the promise of grelt wealth." * 2
 "A railroad rom the coast to the Yukon is surely needed and in my opinion it will never be built eX- cept by government or with govern ment assistance"
 Between 15O,OOO and 100000 tons of coal will be used annually by government war vessels if the test now being mads by the. cruiser Mary land shows that the Alaskan coal can be used successfully" #

S1,4OO GOLD NUGGET
 TAKEN FROM BIRCH GREER

F.H. Pearcc, the Atlin miner, ac- rompanied by his wife. passed thru Skagway last evening on their way to the South for the winter
 For a number O years Mir. Pearce has been mining on Birch creek in the Atlin District and while he has never received great encouragement by the recovery of very large amounts of .he yellow metal, his faith in the creek has never way cred, and this year proved that efforts, and this year proved th he was right, for he reached the pay streak, and took out good Quan- tity of the precious metal, which he carried with him to the south.
 After displaying to a number oi friends a large poke of huge mug gets. Mir. Pearce stated that they were small compared to some tha- he had on board the Princess May, and in response to an invitation to go aboard and see the DE oNs7' a representative of this paper was giT- en an opportunity of seeing and handling a nugget that was picked up on. Mir. Pearcs's claim that wtegh- ed a trifle less than 75 ounces. and was valued at a few dollars less than $1,4OO. In addition to this Jumbo nugget, there were several others that were worth amounts varying from $4OO to $75O.O0.
 That chunks of gold of these enormous seizes have been found on Birch proves beyond a dought that the operations which will be car ried forward next season will place the creek among the big producers of the north.

PEOPLES FORUM
 THING OF THE PAST

New York, Oct. 23-For the only time perhaps in the countless years of it's stirring history, New Yorks Peoples Forum" is closed. Union Square is not open to the would-be Dmostheenes. for the first time since the memory of the man runneth not back to the contrary" This does not mean that Father Knickerbocker or Mayor Ardolpbe Kiline, to be ex- act-has put the lid on free and untrammeled speech in the greater city. The construction of the new Broadway-Lexiugton Avenue Subway has progressed that far, and the work is occupying the Square. The place where Big Bill" Haywood and other exhorters have harangued the crowds where Miss Inez Milholland that was, and General" Rosalie Jones have de manded votes for women, now looks like the shaft house of a West Vir- ginia coal mine. First they built iron fences around the walks and grass spaces of the Square, and it's outraged habitues were confined to the benches bordering the pavements' This was bad enough, but then came workmen who erected frame shacks all over the place, cutting off the view across the ancient quadrangle. Then they began to drive wagons in- to the Square, to be filled with dirt and rocks belched forth from the bowels of the earth by the powe ful machinery that is building the underground railway.

FLYING FEET UPWARDS DIS-
 COVET. ED BY CHANGE

Paris, Oct. 23-It has just leaked out here how Aviator Pegoud got his idea for slyiag upside down in monoplane.
 Pegound, flying a Bleriot machine had volunteered to test parchute designed for aviators by M. Bonnet
 He was to arise to a certain height then abandon his areoplane and come to earth with the parachute. He accomplished the feat all right, but while enrouLe to the ground he calmly observed the behaviour of the pilotIess monoplune. It at first rose at a steep angle then plunged head-first toward the earth. Then It turned completely over, head on, and sailed along upside down quite sereneIy. Then it made another vertical curve, fighting itself auto maticalIy and, hut for q hay-stack' against which wing collidsd, it would have landed as gently as though obeying the commands of a skilled pilot.
 "If an aeroplane can do that alone, Pegoud said to himself, "it can certainly do it with me flying it.. Three days later he "looped- the-loop" at Juyisy and startled the world by flying upside down for half a mile. He DOW proposes to carry out series of experiments by cap sizing his craft al all sorts of angles then fighting it.

ALASKA RANKS THIRD.

According 10 the Seattle papers Alaska takes third rank in gold pro duciug this year. Colorado first, California second and Nevada is fourth in rank. It is reported that ten tons of gold has been poured in- to the Seattle Assay office during the present year. It is also believed that this years receipt will double that of last year. The dumping of that great amount of gold into the Seattle office is due to the success fuI fight made by the Seattle peo- pie to abolish the discriminatory charges that was causing the office to be passed up
