Viscount Aston has recently presented
to the senior class at Eton an electrified
horse, mallet and balls, with which he
hopes these young men will become pro-
flcient polo players. Polo in Great
Britain, even more emphatically than
in this country, is relegated to the
opulent classes, and it does not enjoy
the popularity among the junior horse
men which the American-born peer be-
lieves it should Polo clubs are multi
plying, but even young men who are
entitled to join by birth and opulence
hold off. Those who are interested in
the evolution of sports in this country
have written most entertainingly of the
slow progress of golf in the years before
President William Howard Taft popu-
larized the game. It was the universal
idea that only elderly millionaires cared
for golf, and that 1t was an exercise
suitable only for such as had retired
from active cares and liked gentle exer-
else Polo has developed even more
slowly, but still 1t has a wider member
ship in different classes of riders In
this country than may be found in
Great Britain. Viscount Aston sees in
tercollegiate games in the future II the
Etonians reach his expectation with the
mechanical practicing devices he has
placed in the famous old school at
Windsor.

Mining Industry Looking Up.
(Valdez Miner.)

While Juneau and vicinity is excited remark able mineral finds in the Taku River country, with prospectors taking to the trail in numbers, there is also great amount of activity in other sections oi the Territory, although not so prominently in the limelight as the Juneau stampede.
 In district, the outlook is brighter for the mining industry than for many years capital appears to be seeking investment in the industry and Alaska is longer too far afied to interest it. Dominik Vetti with a gold quartz property at ground and has made a showing to representatives that has proved more than satisfactory.
 The Port Wells Granite Mining Company, at Hobo Bay, is installing a hydro-eectric plant for large scale
 R. J. Merrill and associates, at Bettles Bay are operating and are taking out the money
 The Mayfied property, Shoup Bay, on which there is large showing of high grade gold ore has attracted the attention of large capitalists and as soon as conditions will permit the heavy snow fall of last winter, which buried the camp, having made it mpracticabe to visit it until recently
 The increase in the price of copper has also had its effect in causing investigation in this section by those interested in the red metal.
 An option has been taken on the Rua prop erty at Rua Bay Knight Island, owned by w. A. Dickey by the Solar Development Company sub sidiary of the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company, of Canada, and large crew of men is engaged in development work there
 Within the last few weeks a representative of the Consolidated, J. K. Cram, Mining Engineer has inspected number of copper properties in this vicinity and will return later to make further in- vestgations
 A. D. Thompson has interested capital in big copper property the north side of the Sound and 1t is anticipated that development work will be under way there in the near future
 Charles Ellwood, who also has a big copper showing in the same section of the Sound has in- terested New York capital in the project and ex- poets to commence driving a tunnel on the lead within a short tme
 Altogether, the mining outlook is most encour- aging the activities indicating that capital is again seeking investment in that most fascinating and most gainful of all misunderstanding

NEWSPAPERS AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP
(By WILLIS J. ABBOT,

Contributing Editor, The Christian Science Monitor0
 The relationship between better newspapers and better citizenship has in it much of mutuality It is easy to say that an improvement in the ethical and political character of the newspaper press will lead to higher type of citizenship. It ought to be equally easy to understand the fact that high CT type of citizenship would compel the owners of newspapers seeking suitable circulation to adopt a higher moral and ethical standard of their own
 It would be interesting to organize and support a careful inquiry into the question as to whether the tone of a community is affected by it's newspapers than the newspapers affected by it. Newspaper publishers particularly in this day are exceedingly responsive to the attitude of the com munty in which they published Curiously enough this fact is not very greatly affected by the increasing extent to which newspapers com ing to be rule in the United States that city the size of Milwaukee, Omaha, bigger towns like St. Louis and Detroit, have only one newspaper That newspaper, nevertheless strives to keep in touch with public sentiment and to march shoulder to shoulder with that sentiment rather than to presume upon its unique position to at tempt domination. The militant type of journalist like James E Scripps Wilbur F. Storey or Joseph Medil has disappeared. The editor no longer seems willing to undertake the task of dragoonng his munity into course of conduct which meets his august approval. Rather he strives to get section of the public opinion in the city which supports him, and to demean himself in accordance with this opinion.
 Therefore a discussion of the extent to which newspapers control controlled by public opinion is really worth while. Undoubtedly there is certain section of the ctizenry of every town which follows the example and precepts of its fav- orite newspaper. newspaper which maintains a high altitude of ethics and morals and which, without becoming a public scold nevertheless seeks to inculcate elevation of thought. and recttude of conduct does contribute to the betterment of this section of the population At the tme and in the same town there will be those who will look to a newspaper rather to echo their opinions and to keep in accord with their views. This section largely influences the publisher. This section too is apt to comprise the greater number of better citizens" Perhaps those in the community who follow the newspapers lead will through its preach ments and practices be led themselves into the ranks of these better citizens. To that extent, unquestionably, a newspaper even when echo of public sentiment, is servceabe. But it essential that that sentiment should be of the kind that makes for higher political and civic responsibility

Alaska Reindeer Go to Canada
Seattle Times )

Success of the reindeer industry in Alaska has suggested their introduction into Northern Canada, and herd of 5000 will be driven from Am ercan territory into the Dominion. Without doubt, the stock will thrive in the home and multiply as well and rapidly in the old
 The first animals in Alaska brought from Siberia in 1892 by Dr. Sheldon Jackson of the Federal Educational Bureau for the purpose of aid ing the Eskimo population. The small herd of I'll was established on Seward Peninsula subsequently, other importations made, in all about 1,280 head. To train natives in the and of the deer, Lapps were brought to the country For several years, stock possessed only by Eskmos, and they forbidden by law to sell it. Later, more deer were imported by white residents, and stock controlled by natives became numerous that they were permitted to market of it. Now herds owned by Eskimos and white men con- tain as many as 100000 head
 The meat of the reindeer supplies food and the hides provide clothing in instances tented habta- tions for the natives As developed by the whites the industry ships large quantities of meat in cold storage to the States, and every year with further improvement in transportation facilities production and exports can be increased to meet the most extensive demand.
 Reindeer have proved great boon in Alaska They will prove no less in Canada. What is sur prising is that their introduction has been so long deferred by the Dominion.
