END OF ROYALTY SEEN IN Y0RK'S. CHOICE BRIDE.
Royalists Are Alarmed Over Precedent
 Established
KING AND QUEEN APPROVE
lntermarriage of Royalty Necessary to Preserve
 It, Says Kaiser

LONDON, March 10.-Royalists and those who are great sticklers for royal precedents profess to see in the be- trothal of the Duke of York and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon the possibility of the end of the British monarchy.
 It is true that the marriage of this scion of the royal family and the daughter of an early who is outside the rank of royalty, will establish a precedent. It would have been next to impossible twenty years ago for the son of reigning monarch-and one who is but one step removed from di- rect succession to the throne--to have married outside the rank of royalty. In the old days a marriage of this sort would have necessarily been inorganic.
 Royalists Alarmed
 Where is this going to stop? That is the question the royalists are ask ing The King and Queen have ap- proved the match, and it will be popu- lar with the British subjects, but SUD- pose the Prince of Wales chooses to go further and select for himself a bride who is not even of the peerage! If the heir to the throne even marries the daughter of commoner, then the end of the monarchy will be in sight, the royalists declare, and they almost shudder at the thought, for they know the Prince of Wales has a will of his own.
 Monarchies are kept alive by evolu- tion, by the intermarriage of royalty with royalty, it is claimed. The ex- kaiser is quoted as authority for this, even though it may be strange to quote the ex-kaiser for any precedent these days. When one of the ex- kaiser's sons married the Countess Bassewitz, he was forced to marry morganically, the ex-kaiser stating that 'the very existence of a royal family depends upon keeping it fam fly royal by birth on both sides"
 Royalty in Trade?
 Just supposing, the royalists gasp that royalty comes to have cousins and nephews, and the like, who are in trade. Imagine an ordinary cigar wholesaler addressing a future king as Cousin Al"! That would spell the end of royalty's dignity, and when dig nity is gone, then royalty is gone.
 These are the horrible conse- uuences. And the royalists are not glad to see their men of royalty marrying outside the rank of royalty.
 The royalists profess to be worried over the situation, but the British public doesn't appear to be worried at all-on the contrary, the public is re- joicing. They are glad to see their men or royalty with sufficient inde- pendence to choose the women Of their choice, irrespective of their rank.
 The exclusive caste spirit in Eng land is rapidly passing. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, Prince Henry and Prince George seem to be jubilantly pushing it on it's way.

THE KUskokWlM DISTRICT

I
 In the same judicial district of Alas ka as the name, is vast and almost unknown country called the Kusko- kwim. It is practically the largest is nearly twice that of the State of Washington.
 The Kuskokwim River is eleven hundred miles long and navigable for light draft steamers a distance of nine hundred miles, there being no rapids in this river. It flows between wooded banks and pebbly beach marks it's course. The waters are clear and the many kinds of fish that live in the stream can be plainly seen. King sal mon, some of them weighing ninety pounds, many varieties of trout, gray ling, and many kinds of whitefish, and a palatable sardine are also caught in the waters of this river.
 The source of the Kuskokwim is at the base of Mt. Mckinley, and the watershed of the south is nearly two hundred miles wide; on the north the area is not more than one hundred miles wide, and in one place there is portage of sixty-five miles between the Yukon and the Kuskokwim which is frequently traversed with boats being an almost endless series Iof lakes
 This country is flat and marshy covered with moss and properly called tundra. There are no trees except willow to the north of the Kuskokwim, to the south there are forests com posed of spruce, birch, cottonwood and poplar, some of the spruce trees growing as large as four feet in dia- meter.
 | The rocks of the region are granite, limestone, slate, metamorphic. The min- erals that have been discovered are gold silver copper and cinnabar. The mines as yet have not been developed to any great extent
 The climate of this country Is twen.

BLUE FOX FUR INDUSTRY

It is a well known fact, that, in oul national progress we have literally built as people on the fur product oi this land; our early history, shows the commercial export was practically Raw Fur, and but for this pro duct, our pioneers of the early days would have had hard time indeed Let us state here, every one of our large central cities was in the first place fur center or fur post, and that fur was the very commodity upon which the early foundations of these cities were laid; this commodity opened the way, and started the development which has been so wonderful in the growth of our republic. It is, however wrong idea to think that when the pioneer days were over that this in dustry was relegated to the scrap heap; that is not the case. It is true that other lines came in and took precedence to a noted extent, but the developing conditions that opened up other lines of commerce have also de veloped the fur demand, and although the centers of fur activities have changed in a measure, yet New York St. Louis, Seattle, Winnipeg, Toronto Quebec and Montreal and other Ameri- can cities, are still, and always have been, the great fur cities of America No longer do we gather the great har- vest in these old states, the trapper is still outside the rim of civilization, and his area is almost closed
 This great fur farm extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean is pretty we'll cleaned out. No longer do the great herds of buffalo run the plains. They are gone. The stately elk has all but been exterminated, the beautiful antelope no longer runs the plains or the mountain valleys.
 The fur bearers are also fast disap- bearing, the sea otter is now rare animal; the seal, once plentiful, is now very limited and only rigorous laws save him from extinction. The beaver, once so plentiful in all the creeks, rivers and lakes, has almost disap- peared from the United States, like wise the fox, coon, marten, etc, and in the Alaskan and Canadian districts the fur bearing animals are being ra- pidIy exploited. A short time and the great fur farm of the world will have been closed forever, unless corrective are generally adopted The fur bearer has been destroyed for the pelt. The result is, today, shortage of supply for the rapidly growing de- mand.
 In the early years of the fox farm ing industry, it was an almost exclu- sively eastern affair, and in those early years it seemed to center around Prince Edward Island, the west seemed very little interested in the new industry. Now the west, and es peciaIly the Northwest, seems to have had an awakening and, as usual, has the matter in the thor ough western way. Alaska, and the western part of Canada as we'll as the western portion of the United States have today a great fur framing indus try, and are just starting. Alaska will have a thousand fur farms in the next few years, and it looks as if the west will be in the lead in fur production.
