 What is this creation, anyway?
 Tagging of some kind, doubt
 Still it might be exact reproduction of the acrobac stunts of the staphanger who desperately tries to right the ship when the urches of panicky suburbante hitting the high places effort to catch the last or of the lean mans sly get his from under the fat lady's foot.
 But why speculate? The glide here and we shall meet it face to face

A WASTE OF FUNDS

review of the many criminal which have come before local court from remote parts o the Fourth udca division during the past several years leaves little room to the claim that many thousands of dollars have been wasted the investigation and prosecution of cases sent to Fairbanks by advsed ndscreet and otherWlse incompetent commissioners Thousands of dollars lost to the govern annually in this and 1t frequently happens that sourdoughs needes dragged from the far corners o the district to witnesses sometimes rskng their lives the stormy trails and usually losing seasons work
 Were the of this annual waste of funds made the federal authorities at Washington together With the waste Aaskans venture the prediction that steps speedily would be taken ascertain the and to supply remedy They doubtless would reach the conclusion that it would be money saved to provide fixed salaries for commissioners for that is the only which competent secured Under the fee sstem is seldom that
 man possessed of the requisite qualifications be induced to accept appointment commissioner the smaller communities An honest cannot afford to hold the once where sma unless he has of private income; and honest often lack the good Judgment which essential to the successful administration o such an office.
 We do claim that it is impossible to competent commissioners under the present objectionable system Many worthy officials have held this dvlson Ill who their decisions and not o unnecessary expense to the government But it is chiefly by chance that the good have been secured and there IS no assurance that the appointment to be madeaw more sas factory than with the government The man who Will the responsibility of making both ends meet usually the who gets the oce His qualifications can be questioned too closely lest he refuse to accept the appointments and thus it is that oenmes placed Tn office who would not be tolerated if better men could be secured
 The money the government compelled to expend every year the vain attempt to impossible convictions In the higher court by commissioners would go far toward improving conditions in Alaska used properly But part of it at least should toward paying living aes to the upon whom rests the responsibility of administering justice with due regard for distances and the northern cost of trave.-Fairbanks Times.

 It is true that the fur seal has been the of very great profit to few persons It is also true that the herds nave been wisey depleted to about per cent of their former greatness Nevertheless the seal qstion is important we have made it.
 AS could exist comfortably and happily if there not single sealskn coat left in all the world The fur sea in other worlds not necessity, but the of luxury in the perpeuity of which the average las not the slightest personal interest present future
 Periodically allow ourselves to become heated herd of nomadc mammals and threaten ourselves with because seaes of foreign nations poach Why should we do thisa
 The seal is beautiful sofeyed intelligent and interest ing creature It is shame national shame not mmixed with that they have been wanony destoyed but the fact that there important things vital matters be made subjects for international bro than the future of the seal herd.
 We might provide for the of idle water power and coal That would benefit people who expect to be in the market for sealskn We might make of timber rong forest and thus reduce the first cost of homebudng That would reach pocketbooks which will never be opened to purchase fur coat.
 This does not that the seals should be left to the agents of destruction They worth preserving and should be saved from extncton but from utarian standpoint they not national asset future necessity of such value that three nations should periodically ind them threatened of disruption and stumbling block to continued amity.
