THE NEW WATER POWER DISCOVERY.

The presence near Taku Inlet of natural water power source that unknown until dis closed the other day by the Naval Alaska Aerial Survey is happy surprise. It would seem that the lake which forms natural storage reservoir and the water supply that it is estimated is capable of producing from 10000 to 30o0O horse power the year round, would have been discovered before But it wasn't It remained hidden away in the foot hills until picked up by the Naval cameras.
 The pulp and paper interests represented by the Cameron Chandler syndicate have already taken pre- lminary steps to acquire the discovery, and experts estimate that it will hundreds of thou sands of dollars in the development of the first unit of the great mills they propose to erect on Gas tineau Channel. That also is good news. It will permit the company to build transmission lines quicker and contribute to a greater concentration of activities.
 This discovery if it proves to be as important anticipated will than repay for all the expenditures in connection with the aerial survey that is being made in this section of the country

THE "FLOATING COLLEGE.'

The success of the University of Oregon's float ing college aboard the Queen led Prof Godfrey to say that the trip to Alaska is likely to become an annual feature in the summer college work of that institution If 1t should continue to be successful it is logical to assume that other colleges will fol- low Oregon's lead, and may soon have several college ships here each summer.
 That would be desirable consummation from an Alaska standpoint, at least, and we believe it would be of large benefit to the students making the trip. more or less intensive study

Pennsylvania's Lost Senator.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

What is the Senate going to do about MT. Ware, and when? Is the delay in taking up his just piece of regrettable dilatoriness or has the Senate. puffed by the power of dictating whom the people of a State shall shall not elect, assumed to itself the duty of punishing Pennsylvania for her folly?
 More than two years have passed since a Sen ator from Pennsylvania should have succeeded to the seat occupied by former Senator Pepper The Sen- ate likes to blame this delay on Ware, who first temporzed and then became ill that the gentle hearted statesmen could bear to hound him more Not even such fragile bars intervene. It cer- tainly is up to the Senate, which brought the issue, to force it. Vigor enough hown in re- fusing Ware seat, like vigor should be displayed in clearing up the situation and giving Pennsylvania Senator.
 There seems little likelihood that the Ware case will be thrashed out in the present extra session, which means that for three years-half of a full Senatorial term-the State of Pennsylvania will have been without it's rightful representation In body which is so loyal, so vociferously loyal to the letter of the Constitution, this seems strange strange thing.

SAFETY FROM FIRES HELPS A LOT.

One of the things that makes Alaska pulp and paper potentialties attractive is the circumstance that have little danger from forest fires. Every year forest fires destroy lot of timber in the States in addition to entaiLng large expense in fire fighting and prevention. The copious rains in Alaska take care of the situation for us.
 This is attraction that is regarded highly by those who have investigated Alaska timber possibilities and put money into development pro- jects The fact that their timber lands and log ging equipment not in jeopardy from fires and the fact that it is not necessary to keep force of men in the field for protection against the flames not only contributes to peace of mind but it is of vast economic importance.

Impatience.

Impotence is malady that afflicts large pro- portion Of Americans This is manifest in many ways. Long before train reaches the station many get up and stand in the aisle if that would cause the train to arrive bit sooner Some feel that it is necessary to be the first to alight though they may not be pressed for time at all If train is a lew minutes late in arriving impatence is expressed In remarks about the poor management of the road II these impatient people wait five minutes for a street car, they declare it half hour and conclude that the road has gone bankrupt and has quit run hhg cars II an elevator is not available the in- Seane they want It, they push the button and fuss and fume It is not unsual for pedestrian to take chance on a crossing and then turn and watch the train go by.
