WHAT OF THE FUTURE

DOUGLAS, Sept. 5.-When the cogwheels of Time in their revolu tions reach January 1, 1918, less than four months from now, Doug las, like all other places in the Ter ritory where the fluid extract of rye is now dispensed, will join the ev- erlasting throng on the water wa gon. But Douglas is no exception to the rule. She has her share of old soaks, some of whom work all the time and some of whom never work. but all of whom are constntly "broke" whether they work or not. Even now while the bars are closed only on Sundays, this element mopes around all of that day and is up by 3 o'clock Monday mornings in order to be on hand when the bars open. The question very naturally arises :: If men cannot go "A hours without their tongues protruding like those of work dogs on long hill how far into the azure will those same tongues protrude some weeks after the town has done gone" dry?

BACK FROM WESTWARD

DOUGLAS, Sept. 5.-A. K. Smith who has probably been connected with stamp mills as long as any man in America, having been foreman of stamp mill as far back as 1876, admits that he is being relegated to the ,bench by the march of progress in the matter of milling ore, the stamp system as followed for forty years or more giving place to other modes of crushing. MT. Smith came to Treadwell P years ago and ex- cept for three years, from 1902 to 1905, spent in South Africa where he was operating stamp mill, he has been on the Island continuously until few weeks ago when he left here for Latouche. He was not sat isfied with conditions there and af- ter working ten shifts on compres- sor, resigned his position and re turned to Douglas few days ago He says there is plenty of work to the Westward but that he prefers to take chances in this part of the Territory.

to make report to the Canadian government as to the mineral forma- ton of the Iskut country. Those familiar with the resources of the district, which has never been vis- ited by a government mineralogist, predict that Mir Clothier's report will bring to public notice a region of astonishing mineral richness and extent
 The gasoline screw boat Hazel E III is vessel 62 feet long with 95 horsepower, built for Captain Bar rington at Wrangell this year by Charles M Binkley, whose fame as builder of river craft is widespread in Alaska, and was intended for spring and fall navigation of the Stickeen. when the river is at low stage, and with the navigation of the Iskut especially in mind. Her sue cess is complete, and we are glad to send word to the millions of our countrymen who have never seen the most beautiful mountain scenery in the whole world that for the fu- ture they are assured a safe, con- fortable and speedy carriage from Wrangell to the heads of navigation on the Stickeen and Iskut rivers. Captain Harrington states that at the present stage of water he can take his larger twin screw vessel the Hazel B. II to the canyon of the Iskut and if the Dominion govern ment of Canada could be induced to make slight Improvements in the channel, in the way of snagging. etc. he feels confident that the Iskut could float all tonnage that could use the Stickeen.

ISkUT RIVER IS A NAvICABLE
 STREAM
Steamer Makes Way Up with Men from the TreadweII Company
 Prospecting.

WRANGELL, Aug. 55.-The Wran- gell Sentinel says: On Saturday morning about 3 o'clock Captain Darlington left Wrangell with a par ty of men for the mining properties of the Iskut Mining Company, lying about B miles up the Iskut river in British Columbia.
 Ever since the whites came to Alaska this river has borne an evil name, due in large measure to the disinclination of the natives to tra- verse it's waters, their ancestors having imbued them with the belief that a Kustika-a. or bad spirit, had his abode in the headwaters. and devoured all invaders of his illahee. Only five or six years ago Ger man count, knowing of the big graz zly bears to be found there, did his best to get the late Chief Shakes to take him up in his canoe, offer ing him extravagant rewards, but in vain
 The occasional white prospector or trapper only has had practical ex. perience with the river, and it's rapid flow has made lining and pol. ing difficult enough with the conse- quence that the Iskut has long been classed as an impossible stream Information from prospectors, re- peated from time to time, however, induced a company of our townsmen to locate and develop certain mining

TEACHERS ARE CHANGED
 AT THE NATIVE SCHOOL

DOUGLAS. Sept. 5.-Mrs. I. A.. Gilman, whose administration as teacher of the native school here last term was the most successful in the history of the institution, was a caller on the Island today from Juneau where she has spent the past two months at the Government hos pital, following severe operation from which her many friends are pleased that she is nicely recovering.
 Mrs. Gilman, although re-appoint- ed as teacher of the native school here, has been instructed by wire from Washington to report for duty in the native school at Juneal, which she will do. Miss Hannah Breeze, former teacher at Wrangell, has been transferred to Douglas and Mrs Edmunson, who has been teach. ing at Juneau. will be sent to Wran- gell
 Mrs. Gilman made many friends during her stay in Douglas and the news of her transfer to Juneau will be received with regret. However, Miss Breeze, comes well recommend ed from Wrangell and will, no doubt be a worthy successor to the prev ious teacher.
 The date of the reopening of the native school has not yet been def. nitely fixed as nearly all the Indians are still engaged in fishing, very few of them now being on the Island. It is not likely they will return be- fore the end of the present month.

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 5.-Eyery man on the. Tacoma Fire Depart ment, excepting Chief Carlson and Assistant Chief Schegei. rendered his resignation to Commissioner of Pub lie Safety Petit. They will all leave their stations the morning of Sept 18th.

properties showing attractive values, and the reports brought out by these parties have been so uniformly flat tering as to the extent and richness of the mineral deposits, that they have pcrsevered in their efforts un- til they have secured Crown grants to their holdings.
 The Alaska -Treadwell Gold Mining Company, in search of big property to take the place of the Treadwell mine, were interested in the show ings to the extent of sending Super intendent R. c. Wayland to examine the property, and it was his party whom Captain Harrington, without putting out line, landed at the min ing camp B miles up the Iskut on last Saturday. Upon completing the trip Captain Harrington assured Mir. Wayland that, if business offered, he would sign a contract to land one thousand tons of machinery at the same place, and to transport to tide water any amount of ore offered. liOii thS iiVuth ec eiAS camp was eight hours. and his time for the return trip to the Stickeen river. which receives the flow of the Iskut six miles above the inter national boundary, was two hours.
 The fame of the Iskut country as mineral district is as old as 1874, the time of the Cassiar rush, but for all these years the gold seeker has passed by on the other side owing to the generally accepted belief that the difficulties of navigation were SC great that exploration of the district was out of the question. Captain Burlington, whose reputation was made in the Yukon country in the Side-Streams Navigation Company, of which he was president and man ager, has indeed earned the grati- tude of the residents of Wrangell by demonstrating that the hinterland is not the inaccessible district which is had so long been considered.
 Captain Harrington has an appoint ment with George A. Clothier, Pro vincial Mining Engineer of the At lin district, who is due to arrive here about the first of September

A fine lot of the latter, echoes, was re- ceived this morning.

GRIPPE is DANGEROUS

Grippe is a different and more
dangerous disease than the or
binary cold. 1t has become fash
ion, however, to call all severe
colds the grippe, The ordinary
cold is an inflammation of the mu-
eos membrane of the upper res
piratory tract. The proper
name for grippe is influenza. 1t
is caused by a specific germ
which, to a greater or less ex-
tent, inyades the body. It in
variably produces a nervous con-

ANENT II Gao ACRE
HOMESTEADERS.

In the development of every
new western country there are
three inhuxes-the first, a blind
stampede of the get rich quick;
the second, a less hasty, but yet
unprepared and temporary i'm.
migration; the third, the fellows
who come prepared to stay.
The great immigration which
the state is now witnessing, of
homeseekers filing on 640-acre
grazing homesteads under the
new law, seems TO us to be the
third and permanent influx. 1t
is a different proposition from
the reckless invasion of the flat
broke which came into the east
ern plains and the Estancia vel
ley ten and twelve years ago.
These newcomers apparently
all have enough capital to handle
the proposition. AS a result of
the publicity which has attened
the previous immigration into
New Mexico and the results
thereof, these farmers and stock
men know what they are doing.
New Mexico may do well to
realize that the going into effect
of this new law has already had
a profound effect on the econom-
ic and political situation in the
state.
