A party of American physicians,
spending a few days in Paris prior to
attending the International congress
of medicine in London, decided, after
tour of the Paris hospitals, that
there are things worth while in hos
pital equipment which France could
learn from the United States. The
French windows are defective In that
they are not arranged to provide for
ventilation without creating draughts,
and the absence of screening and net
ting in the hospitals naturally is con-
sidered dangerous omission.

What appears to be natural gas we'll has been found in Kenai lake, about twenty feet from shore, near what are known as the Bowhead cabins. This manifestation or phe- nomenon in the waters has been no- ticed by old timers, but they paid no particular attention to it. Andrew Simons, the guide, who lives in that vicinity, got interested in the occur renee and set about making tests of the effusion which comes bubbling up from the depths of the lake. His demonstrations leads himself, as well as others who saw it, to be convinced that the we'll is giving forth natur- al gas.
 The importance of this discovery mould it indeed prove natural gas depends. of course, to what use the product is put It is, perhaps, the cheapest commodity known for heat ing and lighting purposes, and ii Seward ever reaches a point of great commercial importance, the natural gas available would play an active part in supplying it with heat and light.

!, Down at the Douglas Opera House where once all was hustle and life, peace reigns. The yell of the chief herder, the rattle of chips and the merry laugh of the lassies is heard no more All is changed. Where once the stage rattled and shook beneath the feet of buck and wing dancer, a sober, six-hole range softly smokes. It is now only quiet, peaceable ho- tel with a dining room in connect ion. As in days gone by, drinks may be had at the bar. The old Opera House has changed with the times. Formerly no one wanted to sleep, and the noise made it impos- sible. Now it is so quiet you feel sleepy when you enter the door, Douglas News.

By putting new propeller on the steamship Northwestern of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, which arrived yesterday and is now on the way to the westward, the speed of that ves- el has been increased ' knots and her running time between Seattle and Cordova reduced 10 hours.
 Although the new propeller is to all appearances identical with the one removed, the log of the steamship on her last voyage showed an aver age of 1S.2 knots per hour as against 12.5 per hour. The in creased speed, which was entirely unexpected by her owners, will ne- cessitate new reckonings on all her future voyages.

Governor Strong telegraphed Judge c. D. Murane, at Nome, and the Mayor of Fairbanks in the absence of Judge Fuller, asking if the mu- nicipalities or citizens of Nome and Fairbanks will provide sites free of charge to the government for the erection at these towns of detention hospitals for the insane. An ap- propriation of s25,000 was made by Congress three years ago for the con struction of these hospitals, but the act made no provision for the ac- quisition of sites. and it was held that construction could not proceed until the act had been amended. An effort will now be made to procure the sites through the municipali- ties interested.
 The Governor received the fol- lowing telegram from Mayor Smith of Fairbanks, relative to the site for detention hospital at that place:
 'In reply to your telegram regard ing detention hospital will say that the town of Fairbanks will donate site for the same. Site will be se- lected at the earliest possible mo- ment, probably by Monday next. meets with the hearty approval of people here"

The turbulent waters of Cook h. let have claimed another victim. About two weeks ago a man, whose name could not be learned, despite dilligent inquiry, set out from Hope in a row boat. heavily laden with supplies, enroute across Turnagain Arm to Bird creek. This was the last seen of him. A few days later his boat was found floating about near Fire Island, half filled with mud. A search failed to reveal the remains of the victim.
 J. o. Patton, of the Kern Creek hotel, knew the man quite well, al though he could not recall his name He says he apeared to be fine fel- low. in the prime of life. and had been engaged in prospecting.

Local produce brings better prices and is worth it. Of course, it is generally known that much of MT.

Mine Inspector Sumner Smith has issued the following Modification of Accidents" to the mine owners of Alaska:
 Section of Senate bill No. 52, passed by the Territorial Legisla- ture, provides that Whenever a se- rious or fatal accident occurs in any mine it is the duty of the person in charge thereof to immediately notify the inspector ."
 As it is impossible to draw a fixed line between serious and slight ac- cidents this office will follow the practice of the federal Bureau of Mines which classes, arbitrarily, ser ious accidents as those which detain an employee from his work three weeks or more, and slight or minor accidents as those which detain an employee from his work for less than three weeks.
 All fatal accidents, or those whose very nature makes them serious, should be reported immediately. If an accident should appear slight at the time of it's occurrence but should later prove serious enough to deta'n an employee from his labor for three weeks or more a complete re- port should be made
 All reports should contain a con- plete account of the accident, the mans name, age, nationality, occu- patton in or about the mine, and his previous experience, and in case of a fatal accident, the dependents left. The report should be accom- panied by the sworn statement of those who witnessed the accident, and should there be no witnesses, by the verified statements of those first present after the accident.

Walstein C. Smith, cashier of the First Bank of Katalla since 1907, has been appointed by Governor Strong to the position of territorial treasurer, under the act of the first Alaska Legislature. He assumes office July 29, the term ending Jan uary l, 1915. The position pays a salary of S4,00O. The Daily Alas kan forecast the appointment ten days ago.
 Prior to going to Katalla MT Smith was, for a number of years, engaged in the banking business at Anacortes and Bellingham, Wash ington. He is first-class account ant, and by his long exuerience in the banking buhsiness is thorough, 1 ly equipped for the duties of the po- sition to which he has been appoint ed. He is of independent procliv- | iliCo III pOAIilSS anu AcS hcfCi pCCA active in them.

A movement to have a mass nett ing in every town in Alaska held on the same day to discuss Alaska rail- road legislation and to wire the re- suits of the deliberations sent Wasr- lngton. is one that originated with Speaker Frank E. Collins, of the Alaska House of Representatives, Speaker Collins consulted with Gov ernor J. F. A. Strong, Gen. w. L. Distin and others in Juneau about the plan and all agreed that it would probably result in hastening action by Congress. Speaker Ceiling will take the matter up with the people of Fairbanks and communicate with those of other towns of Alaska after he shall have arrived at the Tanana metropolis.
 Speaker Collins is very much in earnest in his desire that the people of Alaska do something to aid in the passage of the Chamberlain Wick ersham bill, or one that will bring the results that that bill is intended to produce, which will do so much for the people of the Alaska inter- for He believes that such a move ment as that has tarted will be the most effective way that this can be done.
 Another good purpose would be served by such a movement said Speaker Collins, in speaking of the matter, "and that is that it will be a long step in the working-together- spirit that the people of Alaska must cultivate if the best results for the territory are to be secured. The people of the territory must get in and drill on this team work. That Alaska is to come into its own, the people of all the great sections of this vast country must come to realize that Alaska is one territory, and it takes those of all the divisions to make it. What is important to one section is important to all. When that soaks into the people to such an extent that they will accept it as the foundation for a rule of action the hard places in the road to a e developed commonwealth will have been left behind"

James Mcclure, marine cook. formerly employed on the steamer Dora. committed suicide while un- der the influence of liquor when he leaped from the fantail of the steamer Mariposa while the vessel was entering Icy Straits on her last trip south from here. Although seen by passengers, insufficient alarm was raised and it was 9:15 in the morning before Capt Charles J. o. Brien, commander, learned of Me Guire's tragic ending.
 Mcclure had boarded the vessel at Valdez and was working his pas sage. He had been drinking heav- fly at Cordova and seemed in a stupor while aboard the ship. He

Former Governor Walter E. Clark jumped into a pair of overalls and longshored at the Quadra cannery for three hours, receiving S1.59 for his work, while enroute to Seattle on the Steamship Jefferson, with Mrs. Clark two weeks ago. News to this effect is just going the rounds of Southeastern Alaska.
 It seems that the Jefferson had . large cargo of canned salmon to load at Quadra. As the vessel was considerably shy of help, Governor Clark volunteered to help as soon as he learned of the shortage of labor

A wet or dry proposition has been put squarely up to the residents of the First judicial division within two miles of any town where a re- tail liquor license is to be granted by the federal court.
 First-A census showing the ex- act number of residents, both male and female, over the age of 21 years, within a radius of two miles of each town. without expense to the court.
 Second-A petition must be cir culated, showing the name, age, res idence and occupation of each signer favoring the sale of liquor within each town where application has been made for retail licenses, and the pe- tition must contain majority of the names on the census previously talk en, in order to show that licenses shall be granted
 Every retail liquor dealer in Ju- neau and Douglas was present in court when Judge Jennings informed the saloonmen that gambling, wom- en, miners, etc., were barred from saloons by law. and that the viola tion of these provisions meant the cancellation of liquor license. He laid stress on these provisions, de- claring liquor dealers must obey the law, and that each application would be carefully examined to see that licenses were granted to good men.
 Questioned regarding whether each applicant was to circulate his own petition, the court ruled that one petition favoring saloons would be taken as an indication that the resi- dents favored saloons.
 Judge Jennings informed the sa- loon men that any one of the follow ing census takers would be accept able to the court:
 Juneau-A. Shattuck, A. W. Bell. Joe Snow and Mark Sabin.
 Douglas-J. F. Mcdonald, J. F. Henson, Frank Bach and George Dusing.
 The saloonmen may submit the name of any enumerator, but before the said enumerator qualities he must be endorsed by the court.

E. F. Gray, general manager of the Great Northern Development Go. returned from New York this morn- ing and will leave tomorrow for in, terior to look after their copper
 property. At present three crews are working on the Regal group, and
 the development of these claims will be rushed with all possible vigor. On account of a mere technicality i the patents on the Copper Moun- tain and Kotsina groups have been held up by the land office, and while there is every reason to believe that these will shortly issue, only the as sessment work will be done until | definite action is taken.
 MT. Gray will return to town in time to catch the boat sailing from here July 2, and will go to Nevada, | where the capitalists who are so largely interested in Alaska mines, are now engaged in the formation of the Consolidated Coppermines Company, this being a merger of a number of the most important cop per groups of the country.
 MT. Gray is the general manager of this new corporation and will de- vote most of his time for the next year to the development of these properties.
 Notwithstanding the stringency in the money market on the outside MT. Gray said that English and East ern capitalists were ready and will ling to invest in Alaska just as soon as the government defines it's policy, and he further declared that he had the utmose confidence in the pres ent administration effort to al- low Alaska to be opened up for de- velopment; that public sentiment had changed and the cry is no longer heard about the fabulous wealth of the country and that somebody was trying to steal it. Everybody re- alizes that it takes capital, and lots of it, if the mineral production is to be increased, and it is only in this way that the people of the territory can be made happy and prosperous.

walking in Park Row, believe they
can connect The dead man with the
quartet of bandits who have lately
held up and robbed clerks in the
United Cigar stores. This informa-
ton was given out at headquarters
today after Impressions had been taken
of the dead mans fingers at the
morgue, and then taken to Inspector
Faurot of the bureau OF criminal
Inspection where 1t was discovered
that Smith had the following record;
April. 1909. arrested as Eugene
J. Smith. for assault and robbery. Dis
charged.
June, 1909. arrested as Edward
Smith, for similar charge. Discharged.
March, 1910, arrested as Joseph
Smith, for same charge. Suspended
sentence.
Surprise to Police.
This record came somewhat as a
surprise to the police, who laid the
shooting at first to gang fight. In
spector Faurot believes Smiths death
was due to n fight over division of
spoils There is nothing to fasten
his record of three assault and rob
berry charges, which gave the police
the clue that he might have been in
the hold~up gang which persistenuy
robbed United Cigar Store clerks.
According to the United Cigar Storo
people, there have been seventeen rob-
berries In the chain of stores since
the first of the year. At least twelve
clerks have been held up and robbed,
and there have been numerous safe
blowing jobs. The police have had TO
search blindly, for there were no clues
to work with. There is $1,000 re-
