Foote, NJ. D., who writes to the Ma

England, viewed as q distant trade

during the reign of Queen Elizabeth
Both Elizabeth and James ] abused

granting monopOlies of various sorts,
until great discomfort was produced
amongst the people. The Statute OF
Monopolies, passed in 1924, regulated
all such grants, placing authority IN
the hands of Parliament. The period
Of duration was likewise limited %
IA years. In the beginning, specid-
cations of methods or formulas were
not required; but during the period
of Queen Anne applicants began to
be required TO file these specifca-
tions. As secrecy was an important
element in the success of nosrums.
this ruling tended to discourage the
patenting Of medicines until in 1900
medicinal compounds were patented
but rarely.

 5. That work be resumed on re- ceipt by the management of approval by the New York office of condition No. g. providing that l and 2 are ac- cepted
 Comment No. is added to tho original demand (procuring a compe- tent cook) for the following reasons;
 (a) The Premier mine is the orly mine that is shipping ore, and has been doing so for some time.
 (b) The present price of silver, (51.7O) puts the Premier Mining Co. in a much better position to pay it than the other mines in the Sal mon river district that are paying it and not shipping ore.
 No. 4 The management has pre- viously agreed to this.
 At the commencement of the diS- pute the men were willing to settle on the single demand as to the cook. If these terms are not ac- ccpted the men reserve the right to revise them in future negotiations.
 Needless to say there was gen eral feeling of relief when it became known that a settlement had been made, and this was heightened by reports of the apparent frankAess displayed by both parties to the dis pute during the negotiations.

News of such char acter tends to discredit Alaska, &nd places us before the world as not law abiding. It tends to divert those whc' are looking toward Alaska for futule homes, and intimidateS capital that seeks investment in Fisheries MlneS' and the oil regions. for one give Del gate Grigsby due credit, for his re- fusal to introduce a bill in Congress establishing a conStabuIary for Alas ka. It is unnecessary and un-American. A territory with population ot less than 5O,OOO and now occupied by re- giment of soldiers, never asked fot, by the people. The U. $. Marshal or panization, and now new branch O. police service would cause stranger landing in our midst from flying machine to wonder if he had not made a mistake and landed in a German village along the Rhine.
 If the time comes and there is a crisis, which does not now exist, the Pioneers of Alaska, the American Le- zion of honor, with the aid of citizens generally, can make it very uncom' fortable for any Bolsheviki tha' starts trouble in Alaska.
 It is the duty of the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations to pass resolutions condemning the ac- tions of Governor Riggs, and sending forth to the officials at Washington that such representations are ground less and founded on misleading ln- formation.
 He seems to be paving the way fo' military control of our affairs, pIac' ing Alaska in a relative position w.tf the Philippines and other provinces oi the United States. It is certain the Governor is not in touch with the con ditons as they exist throughout al parts of Alaska.
