Further more, by March 4th next, both these secretaries, it is expected, will be out of office and what reports they make will be pigeonholed along with the hundreds of other reports already ly- ing on the shelves in Washington bureaus.
 They will not return to Washing ton until August and as the season in Alaska will come to aR end by the time congress assemblies, it cannot be expected that any action will be taken.
 But would it not be splendid thing if Secretary Payne and Secre- tary Daniels would jointly file with congress an honest, manly, straight forward report showing just what is the matter with Alaska7

he learned that the repellant desert below the Colorado river could be re- claimed by irrigation, he took up his 160 acres, made good his claim, the government furnished water, and in a dozen years a mighty clock from a gilded dome chimed the hour of sunset, heard in a town of 10000 souls, located in a spot once known only to the scorpion, the cactus or the lizard.

Doubt the MacSwiney Fast.

London, Oct. 14.-Tiring of treat
ing the MacSwiney case as 'crisis'
british newspapers have begun tc
cast doubt on the lord mayors fast,
some of them boldly declaring they
have information" that the prisoner
is being fed.
The Morning Post wants to know,
editorially, whether this is a tragedy
or farce" Several papers are in
clined to treat the whole affair hui
morously, one comparing the mayor
to "a certain Japanese dog that died
after fast of ninety-eight days"
British physicians say that il
would require at least five ounces Of
fat day to keep a man alive, even
lying in bed, and argue that even il
he lived on salt and water, he would
have been shadow long ago.
The prisoners condition was appar-
emily unchanged today.
