Without a doubt the climate of Alas ka has changed for the better within seventeen years. All people seem to think SO who have been here for that period. After making every allowance for the possibility that the supposed change may only have been due to our becoming accustomed to the conditions there is still every reason to believe that the climate of Alaska actually is undergoing a change. This is nothing supernatural It has been gradually dawuing on tbe minds of the laymen in the territory for years and scientists have given voice to the same opinion.- Seward Gateway.
 Bound for Little Diomede island, Boring strait, midway between Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska, and East Cape, Siberia, where they will be iso- lated for a period of three years, Mir. and Mrs. Arthur Eide, of San Francisco, sailed last night on the Alaska Steam ship Company's liner Victoria, says the Seattle P.I. They have entered the employ of the United States. bureau of education and will soon take charge of the only government school on little dot of land at the entrance to the Arctic. With Eskimos as their only associates. Mir. and Mrs. Eide will be cut off from the rest of the world, ex. cepting in the summer time, when there is an occasional call by a member of Uncle Sans Far North fleet of coast guard cutters or a whaling vessel of Arctic or Boring sea waters. w. T. Lopp, chief of the Alaska division of the United States bureau of education, said yesterday that about once in every three years the ice becomes so solid in Boring strait that dog teams are able to make their way with mail from Cape Prince of Wales, but this condition of the great ice fields of Boring sea and the Arctic is very unusual.
 Commenting on what it calls the "Juneau Spirit" displayed by the people of Southeastern Alaska in the attempt to retain the whole of the forest reserve money, the Fairbanks Citizen hands out the following: If the people of the First division think that the territorial government is being maintained for their special benefit, they will suddenly awaken one of these days to the fact that they have been deluded in that respect. The Juneau political machine will find serious obstacles to overcome if it tries 10 run things to the extent of retaining in the First division all the Territorial funds. The fact is that geographically and otherwise, the First division is the most insignificant sub- division of Alaska. Its resources arc limited to some big mines, the profits of which go to a limited number of millionaires, and there is but little room for agriculture or stock raising. The rest of Alaska would be very will ing to have Juneau and other towns along the peninsula annexed by Seattle or allow the First division to become a separate territory with full territorial form of government Certain it is that the rest of Alaska will have ten dency hereafter 10 send to the legisla- ture men who will check the selfish instincts of the First division, and when it comes to appropriations, the favored few will have to take what they can get"

 Alaskans will appreciate the follow ing. taken from the St. Louis Republics: A dispatch from Juneau, Alaska, shows that the thermometer is up and around 90 in that region, bumper crops are eX pected, forest fires are raging and the glaciers are melting at a terrific rate. It is interesting to compare the general situation around St. Louis with that at Juneau. We are doing about as we'll for crops, and have been a little hap pier in our temperatures. We have no forest fires, but to balance that we have no glaciers, and when in these balmy July days we survey the micro glacierette which the iceman leaves to trickle out a heeting existence on the back step the thought that Juneau has something on us cannot be suppressed. Boston, Chicago, Baltimore and other preteutious villages we scorn, but any town which can see ice melt so fast that it runs away in rivers and still smile over an abundant supply of ice remain ine is not to be sneezed at.
