The erosion of the river bank above Fairbanks, where the Panama seems bent upon leaving it's present chan nel and forcing it's way down the slough is a source of annual alarm to those residents of the city who realize the danger that would attend such a change in the course of the river. Recent arrivals from up the river are authority for the statement that the two streams are now sep arated by less than thirty feet and that there is the probability that the bank will be worn through before the end of another season. What will happen when the remaining bank is eaten away is matter of specula- tion. It may prove disastrous to Fairbanks, and it may mean nothing more than any one of the several openings at the head of the slough where the waters of the Panama enter in times of freshet. If real danger does exist, the people of Fairbanks should be apprised of the fact and steps taken to divert the waters of the Panama at the point of danger. Someone competent to size up the situation should be sent up the river without delay. It would not cost a great deal to investigate, and it would be money we'll invested, regardless of the nature of the report. If it is found that no danger exists, the minds of Fairbanksans at least will be re- lieved Fairbanks Times.

1.-THE HARPooN."

The Harpoon" is the new exchange which arrived in the Journal office during the week. It took Uncle Sam three months and several days to transport "The Harpoon" from Poln'
 Barrow, Alaska, to San Francisco, California. Still, when taking ln- to consideration the fact that Point Barrow is unapproachable for the greater part of the year except by the overland (dog team) route, it will be admitted that the two-cent stamp which paid for "The Harpoon's" jour ney rendered excellent service. Our Point Barrow exchange is publish ed by the crew of the schooner Transit which was wrecked in the Arctic on August 25 of last year. The price per copy is 50 cents, to those who can afford to pay in cash or trade; such as butter, eggs, milk, etc.
 The editor also announces that he cannot hire collectors because the en- tire male population of the city are trapping, wherefore it is necessary to pay c. o. D. When the sun be- gins to shine at Point Barrow-so you can notice 1.-the shipwrecked ma rines hope to return to civilization. In the meantime they are being hous- ed and fed by the Cape Smyth Trad ing and Whaling Company, which concern has a contract with the Un- ited states government to take care of all sailors shipwrecked in the Arctic. Here's wishing them an ear ly return.-Coast Seaman's Journal.

We've hsrbored that musty and
crusty old problem until it's tramped q
furry edge on our doorstep and sat de-
preston all the way through our favorite

our choicest adjectives and hung it with
our best flowers Of speech until the "I''

paintably of our typewriter keys.

and. finding the top rung .garnished with
nothing but bright, new dollar signs,
Just like every other top rung Of every
other ladder. hit upon the scheme Of
hanging It with distinguishing bits Of

aristocratically inclined debt.
There weren't any such things round
America. Most lineage took the subway
more'n one generation agone; castles
were too near the sun at the top and too
well rlumbed at the base to permit of
much mold; and anybody that had
credit enough to contract a debt usually
had money enough to meet the credit.
But twas never thus across the foam.
Lords and dukes there were over there.
wilIng-for q consideration-to swap
all evidences Of warranted eighteen-carat
Iristccracy for wives. They'd even agree
to be comparatively friendly with the
wives families. Wherefore near rela-
tives and those engaged in the selling
Of merchandise and the writing of society
notes on space rates rejoiced.
So somebody staged the first Interna-
tional Marriage. Whether that and the
ones following have made for the friend
ship and closer union OF the United
States and other nations in the last
couple OF hundred years is the thing
that's been bothering social workers and
gtatisticians. Who can say? Anyway,
the problem has been smiled upon and
scowled upon and fawned upon and for
hidden and negotiated.
And now, when its bones are rattling
with gout and it's doing most Of its
business via Bradstreets and family at
torneys, it's been dragged In with q
Kinked Past.
And the offspring Of the scandal is
International Divorce.
The philosopher, who cynicaIly slants
his deductions, says that it's because
Democracy has been spelled that way so
long that one who belongs can afford to
dip into democracy, thereby taking ad-
vantage Of the rights enjoyed by those
not afflicted with coronets. In other
words, one Of EN- may file q petition for
divorce.
All Of which may be all right Of
course. Only this particular person who
was villing--for a consideration-to
sell his heritage for an American wife
doesn't seem to play the game accord
