Game as Food.

 The Yukon assembly did wise thing in modify ing the game regulations last month so that more moose and caribou will be available for the food supply within the Territory These animals are so abundant, and the meat supply of the older parts of the continent so scarce ana so much neeueu i" armies at the front, that the Northland should be made as far possible sefsustaininG.
 The Yukon has area of 200 GOO square miles, or four times that of England, and ten times that cf the extensive adjoining Territories of Alaska and Mac kenzie numerous moose and great herds ot car ibou Often hundreds of thousands of caribou gather into single herds, and trek across the country almost yearly such bands pass within days journey oi Dawson The vast proportion of the members Of these herds roam the wildernes until they succumb from age or are down by the wolves Where there are hunters the wolves are largely Killed on ant the hunters take no more game ano In iact mot mot
 During the twenty years of Klondike occupation of the whites the caribou and the supply have not been reduced except within the immediate vi cnity of the camp. say within radius of fifty miles Outside that the camp has an ever abundant supply, which is easily gotten to the market
 The entire Yukon has all the wild game and fish it needs for its meat supply. For years before kon- dike struck the country sustained large pop ulation of prospectors who had no other than the local supply of meat and fish.
 It is amusing to read of Colonel Roosevelt pr. Hornaday and other disciples of the trophy hunters the bill of Delegate Sulzer of Alaska. The suzer bill aims at more generous allowance of Alaskas big game for food purposes, and it is a wise measure Such game hogs those whom Roosevelt and Horn aday would protect want the game protected for the idle rich who follow the old sport of going into the wilderness to slaughter the sp adid specimens moose, caribou and mountain sheep and the like. just to get beautiful heads and horns. It such gluttons who decimated the sheep supply the head Cf the White river several years and left the mining camp short of game It is such big hunters who killed off the buffalo on the American prairies and destroyed much of the splendid big of Africa They will do the wherever possible
 It is too bad the United States has not delegated to Alaska that measure of home rule which will allow the people of the Territory deal locally with the game question: as is the case in Canadian Yukon. The people of the Territory know how far they go in using game, and they will be the last to reduce permanent supply.

In the first year of our wal operations Mexico had the decency refrain iron annoying with its petty quarrels but latterly the large German colony in the cactus republic has been making trouble. Mexico has been used, faI cunning German agents could contrve it to advance Germany's interests American soil and many Mexicans have extended encoura gement to America's enemy. Within recent days there have been threatened interference with the Mexican oi' supply of the Allied ships, border agressonf and renewal of the old unfrendnes of few There has been ample for harsl oppressive measures against Mexico, but the o6 stock of Wilson patience still exists and it is prob ably good thing for the Nation busted as we arc with the German issue
 Hence instead of sending army to the bor der to protectc our interests and probably mixing longdrawnOut trouble the Government of the United States has invited body of Mexican newspaper men editors, tour the United States ascertain for themselves that our people have animosity against Mexico no design to deprive it of territory nor wish to dominate it's government Seventeen of the Mexican editors were in the National capital re- gently and listened to address by the president They are now visiting other portions of the country and everywhere their reception has been friendly anc cordial
 Thus the Wilson patience is likely to serve us in this stress of world We will have no quarrel with southern neighbor if it shall mind it's own affairs and refrain from encouragement to our en- emy.

STIMULATE GOLD PRODUCTION.

The movement aid from the govern to stimulate gold production is that is worthy of the best efforts of the people, and its success would work wonders for Alaska. Gold is the ballast in the world of commerce Bonds and other evidences of debt piling up and the commerce of the world increasing such proportions that it might prove very dangerous if the output of the stabzing money metal should be curtailed. The fact is as the Secretary of the Treasury has said the need is for increased gold production and not a shrinkagc.
 However, in the face of this demand for in- creased gold production confronted by the certainty of reduction unless something is done and done quickly. There is probably section of the United States where the possibilities for enlarging gold production than here in Alaska. The output of this Territory would be many times grea within few if all the properties that have been prepared for operation could produce atheir full pacity and if development work could be continued other properties of known value

 To charge or insinute untruthfully that per son-particularly of foreign birth-is a pro German is one of the most cowardly attacks that can be made at this time, because it is a charge that puts one on the defensive and that it is difficult refue.

Tips from Texas

 And as a general thing, after a man gets there with both feet his shoes need half-soling.
 Another reason why a little gir, is so happy and carefree is because she doesn't realize that she must grow and wear corset.
 Furthermore, when woman is engaged in raising five or six chil- dren she isn't much afraid of going to jail for lack of job.
 Maybe you also have noticed that the kind of man who thinks the world owes him a living doesn't try to collect it from farmer who wants harvest hands.
 Probably the main reason why a girl hates to wear a sensible shoe is because she's afraid folks will think she has reached the sensible age.
 Of course a good silk shirt ought to be worth seven dollars, and if the wearer's wife dresses in ging- hams maybe he can afford it.
