THE WONDERS OF ALASKA

A love of Nature, an attunement to the rugged outdoors, a readiness to abandon the beaten track for a brief season, an adaptability to distinctive conditions, and mental capacity to visualize and comprehend an empire in the making, is the way Governor Scott c. Bone of Juneau, describes Alaska in a recent illustrated write-up in the Brooklyn Eagle
 Perhaps no country in the world has so varied a climate and so diversified resources as has Alaska. Here min ing of every known metal is carried on, while oil seepageS flow unchecked into the sea. The fisheries of Alaska furnish $34,O00,000 annually to Out side capital invested in the Terri tory. Half a million reindeer and as many again caribou wander in vast herds over the northern part of the vast grazing lands; its timber re- sources would supply the world with pulp and paper; it's farms produce ev- cry known vegetable little larger and of better variety than any state in the union; its produces millions in furs; hundreds of thousands in her ring, halibut and other sea foods; its coal deposits are larger than those in Pennsylvania and the Eastern states, and of equal quality. It produces every needful thing to suffice man, and yet its population is less than 25,000. Smaller than second-class city in the States.
 Alaska is no longer land of polar bears and dog-teams, although both may be found in great numbers. It is a land of industrious, contented, in telligent people; not so we'll off in this worlds goods, but satisfied with their lot, and hospitable to a fault. Every incorporated town has daily paper electric lights, movie shows, tele- phones, and flappers.
 The climate ranges from S6 above zero to S6 below, owing to locality and season. On the coast the mercury sel- dom touches zero in the winter; al Birches on the Yukon, the coldest spot on earth it has been known tC touch S6 below. The summers are healthful, invigorating and grand. Tho

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS

The Saturday Gateway is placed in the postoffice at about five o'clock Saturday afternoon-about 36 hours before the train for the interior leaves Monday morning. Subscribers not getting their papers should take the matter up with the train crew or Post master Root. We have received con- siderable complaint from subscribers along the railroad who claim they do not get their Saturday paper until Thursday morning.

Nearly every man you run across considers himself competent to run the government railroad; about half of our population can edit better paper than is issued in Alaska; while a small per cent make the best white mule to be found anywhere.

The appropriation by the legislator of s1O,OO0 to defend persons or corpo- rations breaking the fisheries laws, appears somewhat paradoxical at long range. We supposed the attorney gen. eral was to assist in prosecuting law violators, instead of drawing double salary to defend them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. A. The
fight to oust Senator Mayfield of
Texas from the Senate will begin
reNs week.
\ motion Will be made that the
protest now on file with the clerk
of the senate be referred to the
committee on privileges and elcc-
tions for investigation, according to
Luther Nickels, Dallas, Texas, chief
attorney for the forces who are
questioning Mayfield S right TO =

The open probe by the senate com
mittee will amount to an investiga-
tion of the Ku KluX Klan, of which
it is charged Mayfield is or was
member.
The Klan issue will be avoided
until the hearings of the investigat-
ing committee actually begin. The
appeal for the probe will be based
on charges that Mayfield spent

where only $4,000 is permitted by
law.

This extract is copied from let
:er received from a Swiss dairvman

1.-The Imperial Valley has the
dairymen up here skinned all to
pieces for dairying. You cannot

This man is speaking from ex-
perience gained through years of
practical dairying in the Imperial
Valley and a year in Orange County.
He knows that the cost of produc-
iag butter fat in chat section is so
Ligh that there is no great profit
to the dairyman after he has paid
al of his expenses and figured the
interest on his investment. The
iairymen in the Imperial Valley who
are not overstOcked or heavily in
