THE SYSTEM IS WRONG.

THE bitterness of hostile factions
 in Alaska toward each other is
 largely the result of the circum- stance that they have not the govern mental machinery with which to settle their differences. There is something about this long distance government, through which that person, or faction, or element. or combination which is able to establish the best and most influential connection at Washington gets the most tayors. that rouses deep seated resentment on the part of an- tagonists. The condition is one that breeds fighting in the dark and attacks from ambush. It places bounty on misrepresentation whenever and wher- ever ialsehood will serve better than truth It makes people distrusttuI of each other. The situation is not con ducive of civic healthful ness, or Of developing the highest class of citi. zenship.
 The remedy is to place the powers of government in the hands of the people. and to give them the direct secret primary ballot and the initia tive and referendum. Make 1t so those who ask for tayors and concessions must so to the people for them. Il that were done the affairs Of govern ment would be conducted in the open The light of broad day would dispe suspicion creating shadows in many cases and make impossible the accom- plishment of sinister purposes 1T others.
 The situation is one that cannot b, remedied by changing bosses. It car only be rectiaed by giving the peopl, the direct power of government
 This is the one real issue before thD people of Alaska. Comparable witl self-government all other Northern questions are trivial.

In July, 1900, the first ascent of the
Zeppelin balloon was made over Lake
Constance. 1t was an enormous at
fair, four hundred and twenty 1eet
long and thirty eight feet In diameter
There were several mishaps In the
first trial and the airship was not
real success. Five years later Count
Zeppelin turned out another machine
OF a slightly different type, but this.
too, met with a mishap by colliding
with trees. Zeppelin 4" exploded
and was totally destroyed after com
pleting a trip of three hundred and
seventy eight miles in little more than
thirty-one hours. By this time Ger
many, like France, had case OF
balloon fever and the Zeppelin fund
amounted to over a million and half
and new Zeppelins were rapidly con-
structed. All the machines OF this
type have the rigid or non-callapsi-
BILE envelope, affording perfectly
rigid connection between itself and the
car. engine and propellers which drive
the entire vessel forward. Many
scientists declare that the landing of
Zepplin machine Is dangerous In
anything but calm weather. This
may be true as evidenced from the
fact that the passengers will not be
carried except In calm weather. 1t is
the proud boast of the Zeppelin Com
pany that although they have carried

fierce winds that constantly scourge
the lofty peak scatter the murky pail
far over the land. Practically all the
eruptions have exceeded a mile in
height. This distance has not been
roughly estimated, but established au-
thoritatively by means of scientific In
struments. The eruptions have been
plainly visible at Chico, Portola and
other towns more than $50 miles dis
tant, and showers Of sulphur have
been carried to great distances from
the volcano. Slight earthquakes have
been felt in districts tributary to the
volcanic range, but whether these dis
