ONE OF ALASKA'S CURSES

His old mpuence is asserting itself and he likely feels that he will again have the protection of court officials that formerly extended from the bench the office of the district attorney and the marshall But old prospeetors will call the attention of Judge Brown and the attorney general to the tactics of
 Judge Morgan and Deputy Healy and is expected that their of justice and protection to the men who have focked to the dggngs will early change In the meantime Morgan has secured his person from the danger of the part of outraged miners by departing for Dawson reported that he personally drove off claims that of his friends had bankeed and that he from his recording book A of locations that had been frearranged.'
 Healy is taking his turn and party from Juneau stated that among his first acts to overcharge them for
 filing location notices and afidavs of labor. Truly the who live in Alaska to this territory awabdins and patient individuals And that is it should be- for in time right and justice always triumph however crooked and daring may be the practices of federal officials As this territory becomes settled and peoped with permanent laon possibly federal officials will have the regard for the rights of the people they have the older communities

 five shovelng simply breaks the limit Those haven any regard for feelings knockers who look aar and boldly proclaim that there gold in the Chisana country It certainly is dscouragng to the big bunch of endereet to have all their theories exploded by the actual production of the gold metal But twas thus and the echoes of the Kondke Nome Fairbanks and Idarod remind that the agents of destruction just active then This point is illustrated by the following item which appeared in the Valdez Prospecor just ten ago:
 'T P Rockford returned this week from Fairbanks and the Tanana having boiled boat the river to the mouth of the Delta and coming from there to Slate creek with horses He reports the Fairbanks boom busted and most leaving thee Pay has yet been found though there gold there."

A map recently issued by the Alaska Railroad Commission gives the survey of "a line of railroad from McCarthy's over Skolai pass into the White river country. It is the route surveyed originally by the Copper River & Northwestern Railway for an extension of their line. It leaves McCarthy's, winds around Sourdough hill and crosses the Nizina river between Chittitu and Dan creeks, follows the Nizina to the mouth of the Chittistone, and then instead of following that river it continues up the Nizina and around the Nizina glacier to Skolai creek on to Skolai pass, and along Russell glacier and around a lake and then over to the headwaters of the White. This is practically the winter route that the Alaska Boundary survey party and others use during the winter season. The only difference is that Russell glacier is crossed and the detour around the lake is saved, shortening the railroad distance from Me Carthy's to the mouth of Solo creek from 69 miles to 65 miles. As the distance from the mouth of Solo to Bonanza creek in the new diggings is generally accepted at 2S miles it would make the length of the winter trail 93 miles, apportioned as fol- lows:

Another winter route to the new diggings has been discovered that it is believed will prove shorter and more accessible, and which avoids Skolai pass. It follows the route as above for 31 miles to the Nizina glacier. Then it crosses the full length of the Nizina glacier and it's continuation Chisana glacier to the mouth of the Chisana river, distance of 3S miles. From the mouth of the Chisana it is about 13 miles to discovery on Bonanza or to the mouth of Wilson creek, mak- ing the entire distance from Me Carthy's to Bonanza S2 miles, as follows:

HARD TO DRIVE FROM NEST
Remarkable Case Of Devotion to Homo
Shown by Nesting Meadow Lark
In Massachusetts.

An endearing trait in birds Is their
love of home, and. the bravery with
which they face danger in protecting
their eggs or baby birds. They seem
to become very tame at such times;
not seldom a person who approaches
them quietly may, after few gentle
attempts, stroke a mother bird as she
broods. But it is really courage, and
not enjoyment of the attention, that
she displays.
An interesting example of the strong
attachment of bird to its home, as
well as its adaptability to unusual cir
cumstances, was given by a meadow
lark that found itself day after day
under gun-fre, and learned not to
fear it.
At the practice grounds of the
United States marine corps at Wake.
field, Mass, some low mounds were
raised on the firing line. On the
front side Of one of these mounds a
meadow lark built its nest, and had
laid its eggs when the seasons prac.
NASS ~ 6aASSS 9lOOIlu6 anu bhlTIul6u
drill began. The rifle Of the man ly.
ing on the mound was directly over
the nest, and not more than two feet
above,it.
At first the birds would fly. away,
when the firing skirmish line was still
at some distance; but as the practice
continued, they became accustomed to
the noise. They would waityuntil the
men came very near before flying, and
would return Immediately after. AS
the time came for the eggs to hatch,
one Of the birds would stay on the
nest during the firing, even If a rifle
were held just above her head. The
marines were very careful not to dis.
turb the little family. When the young
came, they were nourished amid the
smoke of battle, as it were, and finally
left the nest unharmed.-Youth's Com.

A WoAIAN,s ADVICE.

A woman was looking over the

this item, and just when he got to this
point, and was writing the word

There's one great essential in a
laundry soap. It must be a soap that
will mot rot the clothes or the fabrics
Some soaps win clean goods, but they
rot them; others have sticky, yellow
rosin in them and stain the clothes
yellow. Just you write that Easy
Task soap saves half the work and
saves all the clothes and drives away
the dirt and keeps away the disease
germs and is the best soap ever
found. And so her advice has been
