A Burdened People

According to n count made i'm the
library of congress recently our fed
eral and state legislatures passed
62,Ol4 statutes during the five years
from 1909 to 1913 inclusive. Even
greater than this multiplicity of laws
was the vast mass of decisions Of
court of last resort, federal and
state, which during the same five
years reached the enormous total Of
65.379 and now fill $50 volumes.
And yet ignorance of the lawn
thousand volumes-does not en-
cuse. In our day of statute making
by the rapid-fre process, Thomas
Jefferson would have found greater
reason than ever for declaring that
the country is governed best that is
governed least, and for opposing a
multiplicity of laws. Not the least
discouraging feature of it all is that
our statesmen Of the ultra progress
sive' variety have countless new
laws still up their sleeves, not few
of them revolutionary invasions Of
the citizens rights.
II uor laws are legion now, what
is to be expected when, in times TO
come, women are sent to legislative
bodies by their balloting sisters and
enthusiastically apply themselves to
the fascinating business Of piling up
the statutes. Their efforts to make
man over and thrust into him a thou
sand virues by means of the police
mans club, seem to be ominously
foreshadowed by Mrs. Pankhurst,s
confession that women want the bal
lot in order to make men chaste.,
II may be confidently expected that
women, more than men, will become
addicted to the habit of making new
laws aimed at every evil or inconve-
nierce in sight, thus adding enor-
morsly to the great mass Of statutes
which-without previous discussion
and criticism Of the proper kind
have been enacted in haste.

large but will be very attractive, and

Sam Ravel is building another

is reason for this house being built
at this time.

Of having acted as a secret dispatch

HAS GOOD WORD FUR VALDEZ
 HARBOR

One of the officers of the Alameda last night, being in a reminiscent mood. recalled little of the early history of Valdez, as he had been in one of the first steamers to enter Valdez bay after the stampede started. He said that in the early days it was the custom to land pas sengers in small boats, the sailors carrying the fair passengers ashore, leaving the men to get through the mud as best they could.
 The first settlers believed that on account of the glacial mud that it would be useless to construct a wharf at Valdez, believing that the glacial stream or the high tides would take it out. This officer, who was a close friend of Frank Kinghorn, talked with him regarding the estab- lishment of a wharf here. He says that Kinghorn was undecided until he was shown a piece of rock from the Latouche or Ellamar copper mines, when he immediately decided that town which was as close to a mine as Valdez was entitled to nave wharf facilities, and interested him. self in the dock.
 The navigator, who has been on the Alaskan coast for years, believes that the commission made a serious mistake in selecting Anchorage or Seward as the terminus of the gov. ernment trunk line from tidewater to interior Alaska. He declares that Valdez has by far the best harbor on the coast, and says he has been com ing here for nearly a score of years, and has never yet experienced diff culty of any sort in the harbor.- Valdez Prospector.

 PTARMIGAN.

MT. and Mrs. w. w. Brown. of Boston, who visited Alaska last fall as representatives of the Museum of Comparative Zoology of Harvard Uni versity, for the purpose of studying bird life on the Baranoff Islands, re- ports that they have collected about one thousand specimens of the land and shore birds, and met with ap- proximately 15O species.
 "One of the most interesting spect- mems I have found" said Mir. Brown, '1s a ptarmigan which is much larger than the mainland bird in the sum- mer, but at this season is changing his garb for the snow-white winter plumage he affects. The ptarmfgan, by the way, is perhaps one of the best examples of protective coloring among birds, and as the season changes he clothes himself in colors that closely match those of the land scape in which he makes his home"

OUTPUT TANANA VALLEY Is
 UNUSUALLY LARGE

While many people of the Fair, banks district and the Tanana valley expected that the output for the season of 1915 would be larger than the output for 1914. but few thought it would be larger than that of 1913. Yet figures show the total precious metal output of the Tanana valley to be larger than that or either of the two previous seasons.
 In 1913 the records of the Wells Fargo Company showed that $3,63O,- S99. .O3 had been handled through the Fairbanks office. Last year the total shipments of the Wells Fargo office amounted to s3,109,O72.24. In the year 1913 number of large shipments from the Ruby office were handled through the Fairbanks of flee of the Wells Fargo Company, and were included in the output of the Panama valley. This year, the total output of the Panama valley, not including any shipments from Ruby, is estimated at $3,611,OOO, or only $29,OOO less than shown by the books of 1913, which included the big shipments from the Yukon. river camp.
