1t is generally understood that the

than anyone else overcome the grow
ing sentiment in England for the
cancellation Of these debts, which
would make the United States the
chief loser.

HUNTERS RETURNING ID
 MICHIGAN FROM KODIAK
 HUNTING, FISHING TRIP

L. A. Cornelius and Chas. F. Pow CTS, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who have just completed a successful hunting trip to Kodiak Island, were passengers on the SS Admiral Evans Sunday for Seattle.
 Both sportsmen secured th ei r limit of giant Kodiak brown bears, although there were spells of real bad weather during some days of the hunt. However, toward the last few days the sun came forth and provided ideal weather.
 Both MT. Cornelius and MT. Pow CTS have hunted all over Canada and elsewhere and expressed them selves as having the time of their lives in their Kodiak hunt and Alaska trip. The prominent men hunted under the auspices of the Kodiak Guides Association.
 When they completed their hunt they spent several days fishing at the Buskin river, on Kodiak Is- land, and caught numerous fine specimens of trout and steel heads.
 While hunting they discovered the site of an ancient native vil- lage and uncovered several stone implements, lamps and other rel ics. They are taking the relics to the Michigan Museum.

SCOUTING THE ISSUE

When Representative John McDufie of Alabama and Robt G. Simmons of Nebraska opposed Alaskan appro- pratons the ground that receipts from the Territory do not balance federal expenditures they either display
 woeful ignorance respecting the Territory or may be the with Mr. Simmons yokemate of Senator How e they join up with the coee of pseudo statesmen who appear to be bent upon destruction.
 Of couse in the sense of contributions direct to the Federal Treasury balance cannot be struck But what about the S31 900 worth of business the States joys annually from Alaska, the contributions of these businesses the Federal income and the derived by such large organizations the fisheries and mnes the bulk of which goes to absentee landlords?
 Then the gentlemen might tell if it is not they who perpetuatng system of conservation and bureau cracy in Alaska sort of dumping ground whereon to unload political favortes in highly renumerative obs Surely this would be worth something to the political po ker players who, by lack of that element of statesman ship necessary to conduct the affairs of great country have brought it to the present impasse.
 Economic as we'll as political experiments come high Alaska is the product of economic experience which has cost the nation much money hapered and retarded its citizens in developing the Terroys resources and may be looked to showing deficit in the Repre- sentative Simmons points until such time he together with others, abandon the government ownership exper ment and its attendant baleful influence.
