Some may question the truth of the following tale as told by the Seward Gateway: Adolph Young, of Sunrise, who has been trapping in the Chicks- loon country, says that the moose have yarded up in that country in such numbers that they have stripped all of the young trees of bark, and that few of the trappers in that section go out daily and cut down birch trees for the hungry animals. The moose line up near the tents and cabins of the trap pers, and when they see one of the men come out and rtart for the trees with an ax over bis shoulder, they follow him as cattle do the farmer when he starts for the haystack. When a tree is dropped they crowd up to feed and have DO fear of their natural enemy, man.

John E. Pickering, of the firm of Green, Field & Pickering, of Dawson, Y. T., who has just returned from the Tenakee Hot Springs, on the Alaskan coast, is around as usual and is full of praise for the springs, but says the American government ie neglecting there one of the greatest blessings of the north. "When l left Dawson for the coast last fall, |" says Mir. Pickering, CT had to be carried to the boat, and at the springs could not move about in the beginning without an assistant. The accommodations at the place were SO poor that frequently caught cold. The rheumatism was being boiled out of me rapidly, but the fresh colds would greatly hamper the progress. Other patients had the same experience. The Teuakee springs have wonderful curative properties Patients were there from all along the Pacific coast Some who could get no benefits from the California springs were there and were treated successfully. Fairbanks and Dawson people are among the best patrons. The American government has declined to give any one control of the spriugs or to allow the erection of private properties over tbe springs, but has permitted small, miserable build ing for such a place to be put up by public subscription. The springs ac- commodate about dozeu people at a time. The women have certain hours and the men certain hours, and fifteen minutes at time is about all patient can stand in the water. The tempera ture is ll2 Fahrenheit. Several bathers pile in the same pool at once.

Jn support of the claims of Seward for the government railroad, the Gate- way says: When the engineers having in charge the section of terminal for the government built railroad begin to look around for a location for the salt water end of the line, there is one thing that they will pot be able to overlook, and that is Resurrection bay. This bay is conceded by navigators to be the best anchorage north of Port Town send, and is in fact the only harbor that is really worthy of the name on the coast of Alaska. It is the only harbor that is safe for vessels drawing any considerable amount of water to come and go at any stage of the tide without fear of running on mud flats or rocks. Every once iu a while Dame Nature gets busy and just sees how near perfect she can make place that will answer the needs of man at some time. Resurrection bay is one of her masterpieces in this line. The mouth of the harbor is perfectly adapted to practically impreenable Notifications. Once inside the entrance there is an abundance of water, while lofty hills afford protection from high winds. Lowell point offers an ideal site for immense shipyards and the high bench that skirts the head of the bay was made to order for coal bunkers

Congress has undertaken a thorough investigation of the seal herd on the Pribilof islands, the subject of peren' nial dispute over which the United States has spent, directly and indi- rectly, pretty near as much money as it has ever received from the lease of the islands or from the sale of the seal skins, says the Seattle P.-I. ln the at
 tempt to protect the monopoly of the lesees of the islands the government of this country has at different times be- come involved in disputes with other nations, has been forced to recede from untenable positions once taken and has been compelled to pay heavy dam ages to sealers of other nations. AS a matter of fact, notwithstanding the many volumes which have been vritten on the subject. iJ is still an open ques- tion whether it would not be far better to permit the last of the seal which re
 sort to the Pribilof islands to be killed. The fur seal are the most voracious and destructive of all animals. It is the claim of meu who have followed sealing for years that the fur seal each kills bis weight in food Ash every day. They follow the salmon run to the coast each year, and probably kill many times the number of salmon that are taken and used for food. The dim. mutton of the size of the seal herd ie believed to be the principal reason why the salmon run remains as great as it is, despite the enormous numbers which are taken for food each year. The complete destruction of the seal herd would mean the extermination of the most voracious and destructive enemy which the salmon have.
