Horoscope '"The stars incline
 but do not cOmpel'
THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1886.

THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1886. < Adverse planetary aspects rule strongly today, according to astrol- ogists. It is threatening to workers in many trades and serious for cer- tain lines of industry
 In the early morning hours a sinister sign dominates. Farmers come under the power of ominous vibrations which may cause un- rest and discontent.
 Men who exercise authority of any sort are under portents that indicate envy, jealousy and per- haps even rebellion among those whom they direct The spirit of in subordination may affect voters as well as workers.
 Uranus is in an aspect that pre- sages success of men and women who see humanity in its larger re- velations for the planetary govern ment favors brain workers, econo- mists and real philosophers.
 Warlike demonstrations are fore cast for Europe and news that spreads anxiety may be expected Iron and steel manufacturing in the United States will be of great sig nificance, the seers prophecy.
 Under this configuration destruc- tive inclinations may actuate man and woman. Tn tendency to tear down what has been built up in the course of progress in this coun- try should be sternly rebuked and stubbornly combated.
 This evening should be a period of caution in all things, for evil omens are discerned. Peril is fore told in many social ventures. MusSolini, whose Sun is in the sign of Leo, is to form powerful alliances as a result of his Ethiopian cam paign in which he will gain much territorially at the expense of fu- ture prestige.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of changes that will be beneficial, but there is an omen indicating danger through false gossip. It is well to be on guard.
 Children born on this day probab- ly will be exceedingly intelligent. Subjects of this sign usually have orderly, well-balanced minds which they know how to use effectively. Sir William Pitt, British states man, was born on this day 1759 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Jean Louis Ru- dolpho Agassiz, naturalist and scientist, 1907; Pierre Gustavo Beau regard, Confederate General, 1918.

SPRING IN THE MATANUSKA

Spring work is progressing in the Matanuska and the Colonists happily going about it, says the report from Ross Sheey manager of the govern ment project at Palmer It shows, of course, that the coloniss in tune with the rest of Alaska now that spring is upon us and we can think of no req why they should not be.
 A great deal of hokum is pedded about the by persons who the working end of fork handle or a blow in their lives They will ask you just if it the supreme question which stops all things what the Coonists going to do with their produce There isn't any market is the cry, and it costs too much to ship it.
 When 6OOO0 persons in Alaska get virtually every ounce of food they eat from the Outside there is surely place for the produce of the Matanuska colony or any other agricultural development which can be started in the north Towns along the Alaska railroad well afford food stuffs raised in the Matanuska rather than wited lettuce shipped all the way from Seattle.
 No one but fool would attempt to say that Alaska an agricultural paradise but to say there isn't for farming in the north is just as utterly ridiculous. The biggest part of the vail against the Maanuska colony comes from class of reactionary thinkers who frown all attempts at progress until it is proven These same reaction aries will be rowling about the colony 20 years from now They will rant against the International Highway until it is finished and they will drive over it; then they'll probably say it cost too much The same saying right now that they haven't seen any progress in the last 20 years in Alaska and there probably won't be any for another twenty The fact is there would be if it was left to the cant" crowd It can't be done is their motto and they'll die wailing the same tune. Many believe an early demise in such would be a good thing for the Territory. Oh well, why be about it?
 But it is good news to hear that the Colonists are getting started well their spring crops. This season will be little better than the last and we may hope that improved conditions will prevail with them for years. They'll find market for their produce and other colonies will be established and markets will be made available for the produce of those colonies Alaska will go along develop into an empre and it will move along despite the grumblers who cry it can't be done.

Glacier National Monument
tAlaska Weekly)


 Two three weeks ago the Territorial Chamber of Commerce of Alaska, speaking for its fourteen member chambers, protested the continuation of the regulations prohibiting the filing of mineral claims within the boundaries of the Glacier National Monu- ment and expressed approval of the bill recently introduced by Delegate Dimond providing for the re- opening to prospecors of the area. This is good far as it goes but it is not enough. Following its fairs, except request by authorized group in Alaska, the Alaska Department of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has taken no action on the matter-a matter of sufficient business importance to Seattle to justify the attention of the chamber well that of individual business men.
 This is a highly mineraized area which was made national monument at the behest of big game conservation fanatics the protest of Dr. Alfred Brooks, then chief Alaskan geologist, who informed authorities that the to be withdrawn contained known deposits of copper and molydenite and proba ble gold deposits That in 1924 Again in 1885, w c. Mendenhall director of the Geologic Survey, wrote to Governor Troy informing him that further investigation and information had confirmed the earlier expressed opinion and gave adequate ance of valuable commercial mineral deposits lying within the district which was being carefully pre- for game The truth of the matter is that the game itself is fiction, for it exists in this in very small numbers
 If further proof of the criminal bottling up of valuable is needed it is available from any old time prospector in this district many of whom still hold good properties within the confines of the Monument which due to government regulations, they unable to develop.
 This district is right next door to Juneau = in these days of rapid transit it is just stones throw from Seattle. According to all government geologic experts including B. D. Stewart, Territorial Com missioner of Mines it is richly mneralized and it should be opened to prospecting and development. Alaska and Seattle both need Alaskan mines great deal more than they need national monuments. Se- ate should get busy and do everything possible to assure the passage of House Bill 9275 Preserving this national monument is nothing short of monu- mental stupidity

 MT Heinke expressed the opinion that President Roosevelt has a personal antipathy toward public utility corporations, and that they will bear additional taxes before any other industry.

 She prefers to paint children but admits that men of 50 or there abouts make the best subjects. They sit without figeting and their faces usually show more character
 Too, she prefers burgundy to champagne, loves to dance, and she dresses smartly but not ostentatious- ly. That is, she would much rather achieve a good canvas than De known as the best dressed woman in the world. Perhaps her devotion to her work is why she is so good at it.
