ALASKA SURVEYS AND
 INVESTIGATIONS IN 1916

The United States Geological Survey began its systematic in- vestigations in Alaska in 1898. Since that time the work has been continued without Interruption, and iarse part of the Territory has been mnpped topoGaphically and geographically particularly those areas that are producers or pros pectiye producers of valuable min erals. However, much remains to De done, and during the coming summtr 12 parties will be sent to AlasirG to continue or extend the surveys already begun or completed. Four of these parties will work in southeastern Alaska, two will be sem lutc the Prince William Sound regicE, one will be in the lower Copper and Chitina valleys, one in the Neuana and Bonnifile districts on Nonana river, two in the Kan tishaa district, one on the lower YukCr, and one In the Fairbanks, Tolovana and Nome districts. Amcng all these different lnvesti- cations those of the Juneau and Ne mana districts are of special inter est ard importance.
 In, Southeastern Alaska, Theo- dore Chapin will continue the geo. logic surveys that be began last year n the Ketohikan district and will Judy the mineral resources of this area, giving special attention to mining developments and pro duCtiou. George H. Garfield will continue the investigation of the watsr resources of Southeastern Alaska. This work is carried on in cooperation with the Forest Service and was undertaken to sup ply the demand for information about the available water power of this part Of Alaska. Juneau is the most imp OTant lode-gold mining distrIct of Alaska and promises to become one of the largest gold producing camps of the continent D. c. WHherspoon will complete the detailed topographic map of the Juneau distric. on which he was en- gagged last year, and A. c. Spencer and Il. NJ. Eakin will undertake an exhaustive study of the gold de- posts.

UNITED STRENGTH

The refusal of Theodore ROose- vslt tO accept the progressive nom iuuiOu and the adjournment of the p-ogressdy faction sine die points to republican sweep of the entire field. The fact that Mir. RoOse- welt was a candidate for the repub- licm leadership will stop the pro gress.ye faction from a disaYowal of the republican principles and plat form. Between the two parties t will be simply a question Of men. It is hoped that a friendly relation ship between the progressive and republican parties will be reDched-.
 Tha general sentiment Of the country is for a republican admins trayiou. While the country is in a precarious condition both locally and nationally, yet the pulse of the American people beats strong for change of party administra- ton Four years of democratic administration has not brought about the self satisfaction that was formerly felt under the republican reign. Business has refused to eX- pan1, railroads have ceased to push their lines into sections of the country awaiting development, about the only noticeable business activity which has been carried on Is the munition business and war OrGe- business which in no way can be connected with politics Of the country.

MORNINGSIDE

Another effort is being made to 'orce the goYernmen" to abrogate it's contract with thu MOrningside suuirnrium for the care of the AL askau Insane and the Post desires to do what 1t can to remove this bio. from the Territory.
 h civilized lands it nas long been the custom to remove the care Of invalid and insane people by 'he stale as far from politics as pos siUle. At best the care of insane people is an unpleasant task and with the very best of qurters, max.mu of attendants, finest of medical and surgical equipment, an insane asylum is a place to avoid.
 But the Alaska insane are used as political peh to fatten the pocke.s of a slick aud oily Ore gon politician. Now. t Is possible that through some misfortune your wlfc UT your husband may become insaIe. A jury has no other re course than to declare demented persou insane and in dus course of time the patient is delivered at MorGIDgside.

But the wiley politician who runs the place is tC powerful politically to be Ludged. It Is quite common to hear inmates at the windows to get out.

The movement now prevalent in Skqgway to tear down the old eye sores and erect modern buildings is 9 movement which cannot receive toO much praise on the part of the press and every citizen who has chosen to make this his home.

JUSTICE HUGHES

The centralization of pract cttcally all of the republican delegates on Charles Evans Hughes as the re- publican nominee for president of the United States and his election on the third ballot speaks maguifi- gently for the strength and conf dence carried by that individual in such a time as is now on the politi- cal horizon of the nation.
 M-. Hughes comes before the ma ton at the prime of his life, hay inc rendered a service in every of flee to which he has been elected, with admirable cOmmsdation. While serving the state of New York as It's administrative officer he bought about many progressive pieces of legislation which stand out as landmarks on the statute books of that state.
 As Chief Justice of the United States his decisions have been just Y rendered according to law. No influence or sentiments, in fact, mo- thiag but the true facts as present ed to the court have been incor- porated into his decisions.

ApvENT,s CLOSING SUNDAY
 IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES
Iessons of Time of Preparation Teach
 Value God Sets on Human Soul, Rev. MyIes P. Calvin Proves.

The three weeks season of prepara-
 ton for the advent of Christ at
 Christmas ended with Sunday in the
 Catholic churches. At St. Patrick's
 the Vestments and altar hangings were
 of penitentia1 violet. but today will give way to the hues of jubilation and rejoicing, with the advent of the feast of the nativity.
 At the high mass, Rev. Myles F. Calvin stated that a review and con- read in the masses during Advent go to prove the value which God sets on a human soul This is demonstrated by the fact that the Second Person of | ture and came to dwell upon earth, for. mans rescue. santifcation and saliva ton.
 Every Catholic knows and professes the value of the soul which God has created; but in practice too many seem ried away by ambition for nonors, or place. or wealth, or pleasure, virtually say of their soul as did Judas. What will Sou give me, and l will deliver I it unto your" But if those apparent | ly successful men on earth. now suf- ferfng in hell, could be questioned, | they would be ready to affirm that men make a poor bargain who barter l the soul for the things of earth. | Wiser are they who can say with Blessed Peter, .Iord. we have left all | things to follow Thee:" who, like 1 Mary. have chosen the better part, or l like the saints and martyrs prefer | death to any bargain of the soul. Fhe Catholic church is teaching ever and always the text, what doth it profit a man if he gain the whole 1 world yet lose his own soul?" That nothing of earth wholly satisfies: that mans soul is meant for God, and only when returned to it's Maker, and ill | contemplation of His majesty and per- | factions. will peace and true happiness 1 be found.
 | At the offertory, Richard Quinn. of 1 Norwich, sang Rosewig's Ave Maria, l This young singer, is a new so1oist in 1 St. Patricls's choir and his work is l very pleasing to the congregation.
