EDITORIAL

interesting advance figures of the
annual report on mineral resources
and production in Alaska for the year
1915, now in preparation by the
United States Geological Survey. 1t
is announced that the Alaska mining
industry, as WHOLE was more pros
porous in 1915 than in any previous
year. OF this industry in Alaska the
report has this to say:
This is indicated by the value of
the total mineral output, which is es-
timated to have been $4,000 900, COM
pared with $19,O64,9 96S for. 1914. The
highest value for any previous year
was in 1905, when Alaska produced
3,378,42S worth of minerals, but this
was at a time when the bonanza
placers of Fairbanks and Nome were
yielding their greatest returns.
The high value of the mineral out
put in 1915 was due in large meas
ure to the extraordinary amount of
copper that was mined. Preliminary
estimates indicate this to have been
SS,S50,O0O pounds, valued at $14,4O0,-
OOO In 1914, 21,45O.62S pounds of
copper were mined, valued at $685.
934. The gold production also in
creased in 1915, when the value was
about $16,9O0,000, against $15,626,S13
for the output of 1914. This is the
largest gold production since 1912,
when the output was valued at ST.
145,951. AS the production Of silver
is incidental to gold and copper min
ing, this also increased 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 worth of silver
was mined in 1915, against $21S,S27
worth in 1914. The output of other
minerals, including tin, antimony,
marble, gypsum, coal, and petroleum,
in 1915 had a value of $500, 900, COM
pared with $222,SO2 in 1914.
1t will not of course, be claimed
that Mr.. Lincoln's secretary of state
visualized the enormous productive
ness of the territory taken over from
Russia, almost if not quite as favor
to that country. But these figures
should go far to make the term
Stewards Folly obsolete.

CHINESE REVOLT is SPREADING

No sooner is Emperor Yuan seated
on his imperial throne than news is
brought of the spread of the anti
monarchical revolt to six provinces of
southern China. To what extent this
revolt is fostered by those who object
to the governments restrictions upon
the sale of opium it is difficult to say.
But there must be even in this politi-
cally primitive and vaguely organized
Asiatic country a tentative democratic
sentiment that has been offended by
the transition at the capital from re-
publican to imperial institutions.
Admiral Tseng Ju-cheng declares
that the new empire shall endure and
maintain one unbroken dynasty ex-
tending to ten thousands of genera
tions," but this is mere manner of
speech. The new emperor may be sue
ceeded by his son in the imperial
office, and on the other hand long be-
fore he dies he may see another presi-
dent sitting in the chief office of state.
Or, to mention one further possibil-
ity, Yuan himself may find it conven-
lent to announce that the imperial ex-
pertinent is not success and that he
has resumed his post and title of pres
ident.
What's in a name-in China? And
what's the constitution hetween
friends, at Pekin?

form of the report, it will be known
as the Federal Farm Loan Act
With a bill actually on the floor,
Congress and the country now have
something substantial to talk about in
the matter of rural credits legislation
Whatever merits or defects this meas
ure possesses will be aired all in good
time. But, in one respect, it may be
viewed with instant apprehension-it
sets up a new commission. The Fed
eral farm loan board is to be COM
posed of five MEMBERS appointed for
ten-year terms, with salaries of twelve
thousand dollars-sixty thousand dol
lars to begin with.
A train of sub Officials is provided,
of course for the new government bu-
reau which is to specialize in agricul-
tural banking. Is the problem of OBJ
tanning banking accommodation for
farmers really such difficult one that
it cannot be solved without the crea-
ton of another government commits
sion?

GOWNS AND GRAFT

It has been announced, with some
emphasis, that Mr.. Ford will not pay
for complete new wardrobes for the
women delegates of his peace party,
now somewhere near the zone of trou
ble It seems that the ladies wanted
new gowns in order to present suit
ably lovely appearance at their pacific
conference at The Hague, and they
expected Henry to pay the bill. But
his personal representative with the
talkative tourists positively put his
foot down on this astonishing PROPOSE
ton.
Those who want new costumes, furs
and fol- de-rols will have to buy their
own and foot the bills. The much
harassed Detroit manufacturer only
undertook to provide his guests with
a free trip to Europe, board and
lodging en- route, stationery, postage
stamps, taxi fares and routine ex-
penses, and he did not count on new
clothes. Whether he is stingy or
whether the ladies are unreasonable is
an academic uestion that distinterest-
ed observers will have to decide for
themselves.

NEW TOPOCK BRIDGE
To Be COMPLETED
WITHIN SIX WEEKS

TOPOCK, Ariz., Jan. 13.-The new
steel arch bridge across the Colorado
river at this point will be open for
traffic within six weeks, according to
an announcement by the contractor in
charge of the work. The massive steel
arch on the California side was hoisted
into place last week, and completion
work will be rushed with all possible
speed. The approach to the bridge
from the Arizona side has been COM
pleted, and work on the approach on
the California side is now under way
In this case roadway had to be blast
ed through the solid rock, and the APP
proach will be further improved by
concrete parapet. - -''~ss>4
The raising of the arch into place
was declared gala occasion by the
residents of Needles, who dismissed
schools, closed their stores and flocked
to Tcpock for the day. Mohave coun-
ty, Arizona, was also represented at
the celebration. California, Arizona
and the federal government share in
the cost of the bridge, which is esti-
mated will be $4,000.

PAT HIM ON THE BACK

If your friend has sung a song
That has filled your heart with
cheer,
Or has righted some sore wrong,
At the cost of many tear,
Pat him on the back.
If he falters in the race
For the nobler things Of life,
Look with pity on his case;
Help him in manly strife
Pat him on the back
If he has been led astray,
Into ugly paths Of shame.
Win him to the better way.
Use no bitter words of blame
Pat him on the back.
If he fails beneath his load
And is struggling to arise.
Do not censure, do not goad,
Casting on him scornful eyes
Pat him on the back.
If in far-off country he
Has been eating husks with swine,
Make him a jubilee,
When his sins he shall resign
Pat him on the back.
Never utterly forsake
One you cherish as friend;
Follow closely in his wake,
Though at times he may Offend
Pat him on the back.

sEwARD's PRIZE PACKAGE

Many men who would mildly resent
the implication that they are elderly
will recall the abuse which was
heaped upon William H. Seward on
account of the purchase of Alaska
from Russia for what was considered
the enormous sum of $7,200.00O. At
that time Alaska was regarded as
valueless, and friends. Of Mr.. Seward
claimed in his defense that the trans
action was in the nature of recon-
pense to Russia for sending a for
midable fleet to United States waters
at time when the relations between
this country and Great Britain were
to a degree strained, during the Civil
war.
In these latter days the phrase
Stewards Folly" is no longer heard
The territory Of Alaska has proved
to be veritable prize package The
sum paid for the transfer of the
territory now seems insignificant in
view of it's past, present and future
value, in a merely pecuniary sense.
The value of the transaction, as ce-
menting friendship between the United
States and Russia and in political
sense, cannot be estimated in terms
Of human precision.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health Is Worth Saving, and Some
People Know How to Save 1t

Many people take their lives in their
hands by neglecting the kidneys when
they know these organs need help.
Weak kidneys are responsible for
vast amount of suffering and i'll
health, but there is no need to suffer
nor to remain in danger. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills-a remedy that has
helped thousands of kidney sufferers.
The following statement leaves no
ground for doubt.
j. A. Rees, railroad engineer, Palace
Hotel, Prescott. Ariz., says: 81 was

GlLA COUNTY TO
IMPORT PHEASANTS

GLOBE, Ariz., Jan. 13.-Gila county
sportsmen have started a movement
for the importation into Arizona of a
large number of Chinese or Mongolian
pheasants and have asked the Inspira-
ton Copper company to allow it's land
in the Wheatfields district to be used
as a pheasant reserve. 1t is probable
that the first installment of birds will
number 300. The state has already a
small flock of pheasants in several
parts of the Salt River valley.

HUNTING LICENSE

CHANDLER, Ariz., Jan. 13.-After
he had hired pool hall for the cere-
mony and all the guests had assembled,
Antonio Borquiez had to delay his
wedding to pretty Maclobia Moragor
because what he believed was a mar
riage license turned out to be only a
permit to hunt small game and fish
within the state of Arizona. The nup-
tials were postponed until the neces-
sary document could be obtained from
Phoenix.

RUSSIA RENEWs THE ADVANCE

Two explanations of the present
Russian advance are given. One is
that the Cars forces have assumed
the offensive for the purpose of di-
their Balkan enterprise. while the
other credits the Austrians with hav-
ing taken the offensive first in order
to put their lines in better shape for
the expected Russian advance in the
spring, so that the Russians merely
pushed forward to meet this offensive.
Whichever explanation is correct,
the fact remains that the Russians are
again on the aggressive. They are
we'll beyond the Stripa river, which
runs through the Austrian province of
Galicia and forms the boundary be-
tween Galicia and the province of
Bukowina. The activity of the Cars
troops at this point seems to show that
their forward movement is directly re-
lated to Roumania's ambitions, for
Roumania desires to add Bukowina
and the neighboring Austrian prov
ince of Pennsylvania to her national
domain. It looks as if Russia might
have come to an understanding with
the government at Bucharest by which
the latter is to join with the allies
when it has become convinced that the
acuisition of these two provinces is
something more than an iridescent
dream.
The attitude of the Balkans from
the first has been based on their own
selfish interests, which is not alto
gether unnatural Bulgaria was open
to the highest bidder for months.
Greece even now is weighing the
chances of Entente and Teutonic sue
cess. King Constantine talks for pub
hcation with extraordinary frankness
about the dilemma in which he is
placed by the presence of allied troops
within his borders and the possibility
of an attack upon them by the central
powers. He says he thinks the En-
the larger resources, but he does not
see how Austria and Germany can be
completely crushed. And Roumania is
in much the same hesitant mind, SO
that very likely Russia has set out to
demonstrate that the allies can "de-
liver the goods" in eastern Austria,
namely the provinces that she has so
long set her heart upon because they
are bound to her by ties of language,
history and blood.
The recuperative power of the Rus
sian army Is unquestioned. Its muni-
tion problem has been settled by the
Importation of vast new supplies from
England and Japan and the establish
ment of a great number of new fac
remained after Won Hindenburg's fa-
nous but futile drive" have been
filled up from the exhaustless Russian
and Siberian steppes. The only ques-
tion is whether this present Rus
sian advance is general forward
movement or such movement is to
be delayed until spring. AS the Rus
SLAMS are used to winter conditions
and as they demonstrated a year ago
their ability to push forward under the
most discouraging handicaps of cold
and snow, it is probable that they
have started out of their own initia-
tive on one Of the most important en-
terprises Of the whole war.

upon the back about election time.
 But it is in order to point out that the opening up of the resour- ces may well be a curse to the workers of Alaska instead of blessing. The troubles upon the Anchorage railroad ought to have illumined that fact, for the deve- lopment that brings such tears of pride to democratic eyes was also accompanied by the inception of a wage scale that reduced conditions below the cent belts outside.
 We take it always that the policy of grab will find no real approval from the average Alaskan, mainly because he practices it where he can, and finds the other fellow ahead of him. But let it not be forgotten that when the coal lands of the North were closed by Pinchot he had introduced a leasing bill similar in all essentials to that passed by the democratic admins tration which opened up the lands, and it was killed in the Senate Committee mainly through the in 1uence of Senator Guggenheim whose papers were denouncing the closing of the lands!
 These are facts that are hard to get over, sand when we find these | interests sore because they couldn't get the whole hog and determined | to close it down altogether, we have less sympathy for their bowling than otherwise we might have had
 and are little inclined to repeat their verbal denunciations much less applaud them.

 We have just finished stock talk ing, and find that we are heavily overstocked so are making enorm- ous reductions in Hardware-as much as 509o in certain lines. Not withstanding immense advances out side, especially in Hardware and Metal Goods, we are still selling on the basis of goods purchased the past two or three years.
 We will sell for cash only at these prices, and for a limited time, until we bring our stock down to the re- quirements of the Camp.

HISTORY THAT IS OF INTEREST
 TO ALL OF US.

We seldom know the names of our real benefactors, but few in ventors and chemists are financiers, to the promoters is given the credit.
 In 1883 the United States grant ed patent rights to young man from Chem Switzerland, the inven- tor of valuable machinery now used in milk plants in this country.
 This young inventor and chemist, failed to convert his staid country men to his new ideas, they were condensing milk and preserving it by the addition of sugar the saAe as was then in practice in thA country.
 The difference between Condensed milk and Unsweetened milk is that the former is preserved by adding sugar, while the latter is preserved merely by heat, in the evaporating tanks under an almost perfect vacuum.
 This method of preserving milk was first conceived and brought to this country by J. B. Meyenberg, a German-Swiss, and since 1883 when the first plant was installed at Halvetia, H., canned unsweetened milk has almost displaced milk preserved with sugar. Later in life, this Swiss chemist turned his attention more to finance that his children might work for themselves. As Vice-president of the Alpine Evaporated Cream Co. MT. .Meyenberg, built the first plant in California at Holster, San Benito County, and later another at Gonzales.
 Before retiring from business he installed his son in complete charge of the Gonzales Plant. ] The Alpine people believe in putt | ing into their cans, that which others put in advertising.
 ALPINE MILK will at all times run from between S.3% and S.8% butter fat, and 27%o to 2S F % tota solids, and every can bears a Thousand Dollars Guarantee O Purity.
 No merchant who feels kindly to wards the Alpine EvapOrated Cream Co. will permit ALPINE to become cheapened by selling it over hi' counter at anytime for less thar the best known standard brands
