Talking of Contracts
Ketchikan, Alaska March IT, 1880

Lon. John Rustgard,
 Juneau, Alaska
 Dear MT. Rustgard:
 Your circular letter states:
 "I have endeavered to get a copy of that contract (between the Alaska Native Brotherhood) but have failed. Several Indian friends of mine, who are mem- bcrs of the Brotherhood and who were delegates to the con- ventiOn have also endeavored to get copies but have failed, tho tley were entitled to copies. The Grand Officers keep the matter 3 profound secret, and II dare the gentlemen interested to let the contract be made public"
 The facts are certain: you have never asked me for a copy, and you have never asked Judge Wickersham for a copy.
 Furthermore every native who requested a copy of that contract from me has received the same by return mail.
 Furthermore, there are at least two copies in every native village. I have wondered just what you mean when you claim to have made an effort to get a copy.

Irish Like Broadcast
Methods of Americans

There are three wireless transmission
stations in ireland. The one In Belfast
is part Of the system Of the British
Broadcasting Corporation. Dublin and
Cork stations are worked by the Free
State department Of posts and tele-
graphs. The same 1o-shilling license b
charged as in Great Britain, but owing
to the SparsenesS Of the population the
number Of license holders, less than
10000, Is insufficient to pay the cost Of
the service. which is kept going largely
by the proceeds Of q one-third import
duty on all wireless products.
The government has promised o new
high-power station In the center Of
Ireland, from which crystal reception
over most Of the state Is expected, but
the site has not yet been determined.
The programs from Dublin and Cork
on the whole are better than the re-
sources Of the stations would seem TO
warrant.
They occasionally relay the best Of
the British programs. But there Is much
criticism Of sameness in the programs
and o proposal has now been made, ana
is under consideration by the post once
authorities, to follow American practice.

to advertisers who would provide their

To the many Americans who 90 dis

surprise to hear that famous French.
man, the novelist Honore de Balzas,
was as fond Of good coffee as they can
be and extremely fastidious about the
quality of the grains and their perco-
lating.
He always had three kinds Of grains
mixed-Bourbon, Moka, Martinica, and
had to go to three different grocers for
them. He called his own coffee pot his
muse" and drank gallons Of the dark
beverage every day.
There he found the stimulus for those
excruciating spells Of inspiration, which
sometimes lasted 48 hours and left him
as weak and worn as any big tight.
Another fad Of his, which perhaps
helped him to survive such an un-
healthy life, was fruit. He reveled In its
beauty and adored its freshness. He
was known to have eaten four pounds
Of cherries at time.

It was here that Puccini meditated

fortunate Scotch adventures who tried
to settle on the isthmuS lost their lives
either through war with the Spaniards,

Theodore Roosevelt.
To all intentS and purposes the
builder of the Panama Canal was Theo-
dore Roosevelt. AS President Of the
United States, supremely interested in
such q waterway, he made the thing
possible. Gen. George w. Goethals
himself declared that Roosevelt was
entitled to the chief credit for it-as
much as II he had taken part in its
actual digging and construction. Others
have said the same thing. Under all
the circumstances. it may not be amisS
to ask whether his fervor for this vast
project was born in him. Did there
ing back to the days OF that member
of his family who sought to colonize
at Darien, some fascination for the prof.
ect of linking the great ocean trade
routes at the isthmus?
The story of the Darien colony, the
strange linking of Theodore Roosevelt
with it and various features Of the
background of the canal have recently
haG new and special attention directed
toward them by the visit Of Secretary
Of War Hurley to the isthmian and
Central American region. He went to
the isthmus some months ago to ia
miliarize himself thoroughly with canal
problems, including the question of the
proposed Nicaraguan Canal. Since his
return he has been studying the his
tory leading up to the building Of the
canal The story Of the Scotch colony
at Darien impressed him deeply, and
he was struck with the romance of the
fact that among the colonizers was a
progenitor Of Theodore Roosevelt.
