belongs to the people OF this community. They
nave bought and paid for the hospital in order
that the sick and afflicted OF this immediate center
could have surgical and medical attention at
home without having to be conveyed long distances
TO other institutions. Public subscription

ways been a struggle to keep going. The upkeep,
repairs, and the general expense in running such
aninstitution are necessarily great, and 1t has al
ways been the history OF all public hospitals that
they cannot keep even unless they are endowed.
With good management the difference between
income and .upkeep at Cook Hospital has never
been excessively great, and at present the institu-

W1RANGEL ISLAND lying off the Siberian
British flag planted upon 1t by the explorer stefans-
son. 1t is mostly ice and rocks and polar
bears and Just what England will do with It nobody
knows. What interests American folks now Is the
island is, that It could Just as we'll have belonged
! to the United States as to England, and being a
strategic point guarding the entrance Of Russian
rivers into the Attic, might prove a valuable pos
session o time In the event OF Japanese diff
culties.
stefansson, II in the right mood, might have
planted the stars and stripes on Wrargell Island,
but 1t Is reported that the intrepid explorer was a
bit miffed at the lack of enthusiasm exhibited by
the United States in responding to his appeal to
outfit his party for his latest journey into the
white mystery OF the far north. Consequently he
probably got out the British banner and planted
1T with emphasis. Stephenson is a British subject,
but he received his education in American colleges
and schools, and resides at present in New York,
SO that a large part Of him must be American In
taste and habit, and IL there had been a generous
response to his request for money for further ex-
~ploration he would probably have remembered
America instead Of England in the little cere-
mony Of taking possession.
Ice and polar bears and rocks are not to be
shifted at. Columbus discovered sayages, and
bears, and tangled wilderness, and look at US now!
II England chooses to establish an ice cream fac
tory and opens up a bear skin rug market, and
begins to crush stone for a cement business on
wrangel Island she would without doubt have a
large amount of raw material right at the door
step. In all seriousness, wrangell Island might
remain in the possession of any country for a
thousand years and be OF no use whatever, but
there continues the long, long chance for the United
States, that events might ~transpire which would
make the ownership of the island a thing most
desirable and this island should have been ours
and not England's, beyond question.

ten or twelve men down here who

The Mail int,mates that Mr..
Ogden will wait two more years
until Senator, Elkins comes up for

Despite the fact that Mr.. Ogden
