A GOOD MONROE DOCTRINE.

The editor of the Saturday Evening Post points out that President Mon roe whose name distinguishes that doctrine which is held 10 make pow erful navy especially necessary for the United States found a complete an- swer to the problem of preparedness almost century ago. By that solu- ton the United States and Canada. with an open boundary of some three thousand miles in extent, have been adequately prepared for war with each other ever since.
 The Monroe agreement with Great Britain provides that the only vessels of war on the Great Lakes shall con- sist of three for each side, of one hun dred tons burden. Each carrying one eighteen pound cannon. Having three eighteen pound cannon. We are as full ly prepared for war with Canada, which has only three eighteen pound cannon, Us though each side had a thousand fourteen-inch guns.
 What the world most needs at the end of the war is that sort of Monroe doctrine.

ARE PTARMieAN BECOMING Ex.
 TINCT.

Where are all the ptarmigan? This Is a question now being asked by our local nmrods and the people who like 10 eat nice hot bird once in a while, Only two years ago there were plenty of the white game birds all over Sew ard peninsula, last year not so many, and the present fall finds us with practically no ptarmigan at all
 Where have they gone. if they have gone? Or have they been attacked by some epidemic? Or have they been driven to other parts by one or an- other of the heavy storms of the past two years? There are reasons for be lieving that each one of these ques-
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-09-28

tons contains a suggestion which will partially account at least for their disappearance.
 From the captain of the Bear and many others it has been learned that tens of thousands, some say mil lions;" of ptarmigan perished on the bleak ice fields of Boring sea last winter Why they went there is a question that cannot be answered with certainty. owing to the pre- vailing deep snow they may have been unable to get food and in seeking new fields they may have become exhaust ed and settled on the ice. There be- ing no food for them on the ice, and being too exhausted to fly farther they would naturally freeze to death.
 As to an epidemic there is not much evidence that such has occurred. A few travellers have declared that they have seen many scattered feathers and bones of ptarmigan in some sec- tions. However, these traces of trag- edies in the wilds are always to be seen all over Alaska as the foxes, hawks, and owls have always helped themselves to ptarmigan when they wanted to eat.
 As to their being storm driven this may account for those seen on the Be- ing ice and furthermore a strong wind or d series of them may have driven a great many of the birds beyond the ice where they had no place to alight and so fell in the water only to be drowned. Usually, however, during a gale a ptarmigan will burrow into the snow. as does also the grouse, and sit there contentedly until it is over.
 The migration of ptarmigan is an- other theory but only a theory. For if they have migrated. where have they gone to? Reports from all over Alas ka, along the Yukon. on the lnnoko, the Panama, the koyukuk, the Force pine, agree in this that the ptarmigan have disappeared Where, no one seems to be able To say.
 Any reason for their disappearance from all parts of Alaska seems at best to be only a theory. That they are gone is a fact.
 About 90 years ago, the present writer was informed by and old time trader. the same condition existed all along the Yukon. He had a dozen natives out for week to get game for his Christmas dinner and they failed to bring in single ptarmigan, grouse or rabbit. All small game seemed to be extinct. But in a year or two the little creatures came back seemingly more plentiful than ever So it may prove in this case.
