Ed D. Beattie, of Juneau, who oper- ates an information bureau for the benefit of sightseers and tourists, an- nouuces that the Prince of MoUaco will visit Alaska the coming summer. The prince maintains a 25O-foot yacht aud devotes much time to scientific re- search.

 Secretary Daniels reported to cons gress on March 27 that coal from the Boring river fields in Alaska was un- suitable for use by the navy. Tests by the geological survey, by officials at Annapolis and aboard the naval cruiser Maryland, he said, all were unfavorable except that the Alaskan coal made less smoke. The report stated that the Boring coal was incapable of general ing sufficient steam and could produce only 90 per cent efficiency of power. DrJ. A. Holmes, director of the bu- reau of mines, said in the report that Bering coal could be mined only at great cost, was full of faults and was chiefly valuable if turned into coke and shipped.
 The gratifying information comes from Washington that Attorney Gen. eral McReyuolds does not intend to follow the Pinchot method of persecut. ing the men who located coal claims in Alaska and then honestly tried to com ply with the complex rulings of the interior department. A number of coal claimants have been indicted by reason
 
 ofthe sleuth methods pursued by the two former national administrations. Cases were worked up against honest men to duplicate the claimants and confuse the records As result, and through the Fisher policy of not only desiring to cancel all coal locations, but also to send Che locators to Che penitentiary, many suits were filed But the trial of Che indicted men has not reflected credit upon the govern ments policy and the various jury ac- quitals have undoubtedly resulted in the change of policy just announced by 1.-the attorney general.-Chitina Leader

"In twenty years the reindeer indus- try has elevated the Eskimos in North ern and Western Alaska from nomadie hunters and fishermen, eking out pre- ,carious existence upon the rapidly dis appearing game animals and fish, to civilized and thrifty men, having in their herds assured support for them selves and opportunity to acquire wealth by the sale of meat and skins to the white menin these regions and the shipment of meat and skins to the States" Ibis is tbe statement made by Pbilauder P. Claxton, chief of the bureau of education.
 Acting under the law passed by the first Alaska legislature, Valdez voted to annex the Reservation by a large majority. The Miner says: Annexa- tion of the Reservation to Valdez will give the town it's true rating in statis- tics. For ten years nearly half of the town has been outside the municipal corporation, and the figures for the incorporated town have had to serve for the whole thing. In the census of 1910 Valdez was credited with about about 800 population, when it had nearly twice as many. Returns of it's elections have the same misleading eff feet.
 The action of the Yukon council in naming the sum 522,5OO for the con- struction and maintenance of ferries iuthe territory and also in making an appropriation for the improvement of the Whiteborse-Carcross road and reg ulating the gauge of vehicles indicates that an automobile road to Skagway is beiug looked forward to as a possibih- ity-aye, probabillty-of the not far distant future. The spirit to help the North is not confined to the United States government, but is found on the Canadian side as we'll as over the line. The days of highway brigandage in transportation circles in the North are nun bered. Their end is not quite here but it is coming as sure as summer ie coming.-Whitehorse Star
 Herbert Ochs, big game hunter of Sommerville, N.

Thereis one movement that I hope will become. .nationaIinit it's scope before long. and that is for the esJab- tablishment of game irefuges in every part of Che country for the purpose of saving all of our native birds. Person ally, I favor a law that will set aside certain state lands upon which hunting and shooting will be prohibited at all times.

the one run scored by the Hammond
High resulted from an ivory stunt,
"a la Merkel OF New York fame, as
follows: Pitcher. first up in the
seventh inning. attempted to bunt
the nrst ball pitched, and this tipping

preston ON Landry at third who re-
NAMED flatfooted. The. box score
can not show an error of commls-
sion on his part, but tn eerror OF
omlss.0n stanus, as this same batter
laid the next one down third base
line and trOtted safely to first. He
then stole second after Muller had
flied out to the catcher, and when
Cullom laced out single to right
Pitcher went to third. Cullom con-
tinued on to second and Lansing
threw to Dalgle who made an easy
out and then held the ball as Pitcher
darted for home, as shorty
thought the side was retired. Da gle,
however, should not be censured Tor
this overt act. He was living up to
the old adage: For one must lose
that one may gain. For while he
lost this one run he made the only
two runs of the game for his team.
In the very first inning. after one
player had been retired he laced a
beauty past first, stole second and
then third, and raced home on Did
ier's Texas Lacquer over third. In
the third inning and again after one
man had been retired, he scratched
single past short that was too u.lll-
cult to handle, took second on an
error of the keystone guardian, went
to third on wild pitch and scored
run number two when Didier ground
ed out to short.
