transquihty by which you are sur rounded
 Thanks to Almighty We arrived at our destination and upon our arrival at the cannery, about twenty miles from the town of Karluk, Ko- diak Island, we found the place few very few human habitations. It is melancholy atmosphere, indeed; but melancholy as it is, it must be met with strong fortitude of con victon for the cause of existence
 Indifference, dislike and disgust were sickening and miserable, in- deed. among us but, we started to do many things to create many sen sations and improved to the utter most no matter what and how by those who have nothing to do sim ply to overcome the dul world upon us.
 Alaska is wonderful place-every tint in the place in which we are surrounded spoke Natures loveliness, and every sound breathed Heavens melody, and every breeze was but embodied fragrance. To every Ffli- pino, never, never can he forget this "reminiscences. We store in our mind such memories from Alaska forever, and in private life, they shall al ways be the companion Of our soli- ture whenever and where we go.

Anton Stander, Once An Alaska Millionaire
 Was Seward Visitor

Anton F. Stander, who with his partners, Clarence and Frank Berry, took out almost three millions in gold dust from Nos. 4, 5, and 6, on Eldorado, during the stampede day to Dawson, was a visitor in Seward the first of the week, according to Chas. Fisher, proprietor of Fishers Cafe, an old friend of the once pros porous operator. The old friends held quite a reunion during Mr. Stan ders's brief time in the city. Natur- ally those hectic days were gone over and many incidents dormant for years, were recalled during the con- versation.
 Mr. Stander has gone to Anchorage for a few days on business after which he will proceed to nearby district to look after a number of mining properties he owns and is interested in. After his departure from Alaska for the States, many years ago, he had erected in Seattle the we'll known Stander hotel, locat- ed on Yesler Way, between Sixth and Seventh streets. He has been in Seattle practically ever since he departed from the Territory.

cANNIBALlSM IN CHINA

One of the most horrible peace time tragedies in the worlds history is being enacted in the Kweichow district and other portions of China, due to famine, according to recent dispatches.
 Millions of unfortunate people are not only desperately hungry, but are starving to death by the hundreds daily. Reports say that cannibalism is being resorted to in the elemental struggle for life.
 So widespread is the disaster that there appears no possible hope for relief of consequence until the next rice crop is matured One dispatch says "the roads are filtered with dead, while hungry families creep forward toward the towns, where many die on the doorsteps as they beg for food which is not to be had"
 From this gruesome picture we may imagine the possible fate of a large portion of the human race in the centuries to come. The world has doubled in population in the last 90 years. With better sanitation and health measures and their con- sequent prolonga tion of life, the in- crease in future will be even more rapid, especially if losses from war can be minimized.
 Civilized nations will feel the in- creasing pressure of overpopulation more and more. The habitable and food producing surface of the earth is limited. Growth of population is unlimited and unless some means be taken to check it there can be but one ultimate result.
 We may frown on birth control to- day, but there appears to be no al- formative for the people of the flu lure, excepting death from starva- ton.

ress for several sessions, but with out action.
 Opponents of the plan declare that it means lot of additional Federal office holders, meddling with state functions, and the building up ot an other Federal political machine.
 Another objection is that 1t tends toward standardization in education, which may be productive of more harm than good Uniformity may be dcsi1 able enough in dealing with ma- terial things, but it is of doubtful value in matters affecting mental raining.
 Standardized machines a. one thing; standardized brains are an other Federal establishment Of a sort of intellectual goose-step is not desirable. Some room must be left for individual initiative and individ- ual expression.
 Federal red tape plays too large a part in our daily lives already and it would be unwise to have it further entangled with our educational sys- tenn.
