 We are not free from it even in this wonderful republic of ours but we have broken so clear of the old time superstititno about kings and things connected with royalty that most of our people will be unable to under stand the feeling that could prompt Fssed Pasha to insist that the new king of Albania must be descended from a royal blood.

It is remarkable what hold royalty and the scions of royalty have on the people of the world and how a me. Q title will make such lot of difference to such a lot of people
 Take Europe for instance. Highly civilized, fairly well educated and in some respects very much up- to date Europe. The habit of being ruled by ;' king has so grown on the people and they have been so used to be- lieving in princes and kings and things that they just naturally have to have something of the kind or they q" not think that government is complete
 There is certain soldier in the Turkish army, or he was in the Turk ish army, and his name was Essed Fasha, whatever that means. He was a good soldier and d capable general and he won d great deal of fame for himself b his msterly military de fence of the city and fortress of Sru- tari
 Then he took a Turkish army into Albania and. after having pacified that country and finding no one else there [" rule it he began to rule the land himself. He did very we'll with the business, too. and was making a per fectly good ruler.
 Then the people decided that as Essed Pasha was such good little ruler that they would make him king of Albania. And right there is where all of the trouble started. How in the world could Essed Pasha he king of Albania when he didn't have one drop of royal blood in his veins? Quite absurd and unheard of.
 The fact that he had captured the country, defended the country and ruled the country all for the country 2 good could make no difference. As q military ruler ESsed Pasha was all right. AS a political ruler Essed I'asha was all right and no fault could be found. But the people of Albania wanted a king and that was where the strong man who had done so much fol the country did not come up to specifications. He was not of roya decent Not one drop of the blood oi any man who had ever been kina or cousin of kings cousin flowed in his veins. and therefore, quite as matter of course, he could never sit on a throne and sit there as proper fing should sit.
 So. after thinking the matter all c, CT. and after consulting with Essad Pasha himself. who strangly enough agreed that he was not fit to be q king, the Albanians sent a delegation

The most encouraging thing of the past year." said Dr. Alfred H. liI "oks, chief of the Alaska division of the United States geological survey. in a recent Seattle interview, lis that the country is producing much more | gold from quartz mines than hereto fore. This indicates that the interior zion is now placed on a permanent, enduring basis The figures on gold production for the past year clearly slow that, while there was slight falling off in placer production. the amount of gold taken from the native matrices increased enormously Most of the increase was from small plants, which will be considerably enlarged when the coal fields are opened and transportation facilities are furnish ed"
 Dr. Brooks has spent sixteen years iu studying the mineral zones of AL aska. He was vice chairman of the Alaska railroad commission that
 V the plan for the building of 'he railroad by the government anl is reputed to have greater knowledge about Alaska than any other living man.
 Another encouraging feature about hn Nfrxr bot the summer last year was dry one the production of gold from the Se- ward peninsula kept up with the year Eefore. This indicates that the dredges are making good, and that the field will prove as permanent in that line as California.
 ''In the commercial metals there has also been tremendous increase, par tioularly in the production of copper and tin. There are innumerable low grade properties all over Alaska, but they cannot be worked either because of lack of fuel or lack of transporta- = ton facilities, or both. There is good reason to believe that these needs soon will be supplied"
 In the same interview Dr. Brooks also made the statement that a little less than one quarter of Alaska had Teen covered by the geological sur Ney. and not more than three fifths of the territory had been prospected He expressed the opinion that while more klondikes might not be found there was every reason to hope that many new placer fields would be dis covered

Encouraging as it must be to the framers of the new currency law to witness the number of applications for membership in the new system, a lit- tlc more deliberation on the part of some of the banks might not be amiss. It is taken for granted now that a ma ajority of the national banks will erter the federal reserve system. but the haste with which some of them have been sending in their applica- tions indicate that the stockholders have not been consulted.
 It is not clear by what process of reasoning the officers of some of the banks have concluded to notify the government that they will enter the system. Few of them have had an op-

DR.. Carrot Tells
OF Experiments

New York, April 10.-Dr. Alexis Car
ret, head of the Rockefeller Institute
and winner of a Nobel prize in sci
ence, discussed his latest experiments
in surgery of the heart before the
American Surgical Association here
today. These experiments We're per-
formed ON dogs, with the idea of de-
yeloping methods and technique which
can now be successfully applied to hui
man subjects.
In several recent instances" Dr.
Garrett said, II have succeeded in
clanping en- masse the neck or pedicle
of the heart. thus shutting off the cir
culation of the blood for a period of
two OF three minutes, and giving OPP
portunity for rapid operation on the
aortic and pulmonary valves After
the operation was completed and the
clamps removed, the heart resumed
its pulsation and after a very short
time the pulsations became regular
An interruption of circulation for a
much longer period is undoubtedly
possible so that operations of a more
complicated nature could be perform
ed"
DR.. Carrot anticipated that this new
surgery would make possible the cur
ing of many valyular diseases.

experienced only a cool rain. Frost

western section, where crops were not

The heaviest loss was in this Sec

crop in this and adjoining counties,
