TOO MANY WASTED
 ACRES IN ALASKA
O- O.

Undoubtedly the capabilities of Al aska are as underestimated as they are misunderstood, and what is equally true, those capabilities though enor- nous are not numerous, especially az riculturally. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane is making great ef- fort to bring proper appreciation of the possibilities of Alaska to the Amer ican intelligence. But while his state ments have the merit of scrupulous adherence to fact, they also have the effect of emphasizing that cOuntrys agricultural limitations. It is much richer in a diversity of minerals than in possibilities for the farmers or stOckman, in fact Which is reason ably easy to understand, since mineral deposits are not limited by climate, while the productions of the soil are in all parts of the world.
 It is the latent possibilities of that country as a producer of meat that Lane is making special effort to call attention to at this time. He opens with the initial proposition that B. OOO,O00 acres of Alaskan soil every sea son is covered with an edible grass that grows waist high. It is not Ordi- nary edible grass. but it is grass capa- ble of supporting as heavy a hOofed population as any forage grass in the known world. Upon a small portion Of this grass area, though at the pres ent rate of reproduction it will take generations to stock it to it's limit The point is that not only is the rein deer excellent eating, but the same range will support as many beef cattle as of reindeer. It follows that it would support vast numbers of goats.
 Originally Alaska was practically destitute of herbage eating animals. and the native population was found only along the coast and rivers where fishing was a dependable industry Reindeer were introduced from Lap land about twenty years ago by Pres byterian missionary named Jackson who fOresaw and predicted famine among the natives, unless something was done to stock the interior with food and garment bearing animals, as the white men were destroying and mOnOpOliZing the fisheries.
 Lane would put that country into di- rect competition with the beef produc- ing regions of the States, and he holds to the optimistic belief that the beef trust might be pried loose from it's control of the provision market by fn-

LAWYERS CANNOT USE
 INTEMPERATE LANGUAGE

OLYMPIA, Aug. 26.-The Washing ton State Supreme Court reversed a damage case that came to it from Spo- kane wherein a judgment was recoy- cred against a physician for damages resulting from alleged malpractice on the ground that the attorney for the plaintiff made an incorporate appeal Co the passion and prejudice of the jurors. The record showed that the attorney for the plaintiff used this language:
 "I tell you. ladies and gentlemen of the jury. that if you say by your yer diet in the case that the doctor has not done anything but what he ought to have done, and that he did not leave anything mdone that he ought to have done want to quit pTacticing law. because l will know then that the poor have no chance in this world with those great railroad physicians. calling to their aid the most eminent lawyer in this city and the most emil uent doctors as we'll as others. 1 will reach the conclusion that it is no use to fight because of the justice of the case, but you must get where the in- fiuence or the money is or you will lose out"
 The supreme court held that the language was incorporate; that it ap- pealed to passion and prejudice rath- er than to reason and judgment, and that it was sufficient error to warrant a reversal of the judgment

FAIRBANKS WANTS X
 CHANGE AT DUCKS

As was pointed out to the Governor at the banquet last night, conservation as applied to the ducks Of Interior Alaska is a discrimination in favor ot Southern hunters. In the opinion of the Times, it is the wrong kind of pro lection which prevents the killing of ducks during practically all of the time that they are here. The people of Panama do not ask for more privi- leges than are enjoyed by the people of other districts; all that they want is the opportunity to secure their right ful share of the birds Under the pres ent law, the hunters of Panama valley may kill a certain number of ducks each season. but alas, there is no sea- son-or what amounts to the same thing, the ducks and the season are not here at the same time Our game law and the detention hospital bill were cast in the same mOuld-Fair- banks Times.

reducing a competitive beef product from Alaska. As for reindeer meat, it is a matter learning to like it, though it is fair to say that many connois- seurs declare that it is better eating than most good beef.
 The possibilities within 65,OOO,OOO acres of almost unused Alaska acres of rich forage are certainly great Re member that that area is approximate ly the same as that of the unreclaimed swamp area of the Mississippi basin. The latter is generally estimated at 7OO00,00O acres-more or less. The two facts indicate to thoughtless peo- pie how far We are from actually re- alizing more than a fractional part of the possibilities of American soil- (St. Joseph. (Mo) Gazette)

 TRIBUTE TO NOME

Maj. J. F. A. Strong, Governor of Alaska is paying an official visit to Nome
 The enthusiastic greeting given him is at once understood and appreci- ated at this rang by those fortunate Seattleites included in the Chamber of Commerce party which recently toured the Territory.

EIGHT-DAY MAIL
 SERVICE IS POSSIBLE

In the splendid record of the Shel- don auto, the people of Interior Alaska have a convincing argument to offer in favor of carrying the mails via the Fairbanks-Chitina government highway in summer as we'll as in winter Mir Sheldon has demonstrated beyond a doubt that an eight-day summer mail service between Fairbanks and the States is possible via the government road. Surely there is no argument in favor of continuing the present unsat-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-It is be- lieved here that the action of the Dem ocratic Senators in backing up the ad- ministration's desire for currency leg islatiOn at the present special session of Congress may result in Congress re maining in session until November 1st. The Republican Senators are disposed to debate the tariff freely, and prevent a vote for some time yet though it is admitted that they would agree to an immediate vote if the Democrats would agree to adjourn as soon as the vote were taken.
