call Scouting one "f the most signfi-
cant social movements the world has
ever seen, Hal n. Griswold, former

This year there are "a such troops,
which means nearly 300 boys have a
chance to go straight. Community Fund

MIR: Roosevelt set up machinery
which elected a preponderance of
third-term delegates. These dele
gates awaited his orders.
In the meantime, everything pos
sible was done to convince the pub
lie that the third-term candidate
stood ready to "obey" the delegates
who had instructions to draft him.
We hear the Chicago performance
referred to as the "undemocratic
Democratic Convention.
The fact remains, however, that the
President has his third-term nomi-

is broken and perpetuation in office

ALASKA MINES CONTINUE
 HIGH LEVEL PRODUCTION

The minerals produced from Al. aska in 1889 had an estimated value of $24, 1888, 900, according to a pre-. liminary statement of the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior. This amount brings the total value of the mineral out put of Alaska since 1880 to more than $500, ,000,0
 Although the year 1899 set few new records of production, the results as a whole are good and encourage belief in the continuing high rate of output of minerals from the Ter ritory.
 As compared with 1898, there seems to have been a decrease in 1889 of approximately $3,700,000 in the value of the total production of minerals. The record for 1898, how ever, was exceedingly high, having been surpassed in only three years during the entire period that min- ing has been in progress in Alaska Furthermore, none of the great cop per mines, which in 1888 produced copper to the value of nearly 8 ,0O0,- 900. were in operation.

SALMON PACK E MORE
 THAN 5,ooo,ooo CASES

The year 1889 saw the smallest pack of canned salmon in Alaska since the off-cycle year 1885. Last summer the total pack in the Ter ritory was 5,242,211 cases with an estimated value of $35, ,110900.
 This production is a reduction oi 1,549OOO cases from the preceding season, and decline of l,4l2,00C cases from the previous odd num- bered year.
 While this drastic reduction in the size of the total pack was the outstanding fact of the 1889 salmon season, 1t does not tell the com- plete story of the year by any means.
 The 1889 season was almost as notable for the unusual character of the runs as for the short pack. In several main production areas, the runs were disappointingly small. Other districts enjoyed good runs, and some varieties were above nor nal in districts where they do not normally appear in quantity.
 The reduction in the size of the pack resulted in a disastrous year for many of the packing firms.
 The shortage in fish brought about a decided increase in the per case cost of the pack. The labor agree ments for the 1889 season in gen. eral added to the cost of fishing and packing. Tn addition, the pro- longed labor negotiations held back for the season. and in some cases were responsible for re- stricting production.
