NATIONAL FORESTS AND
OTHER RESERVATIONS
Fewer complaints are to be
noted during the past year as
to the administration of the
national forests, which embrace
a very large percentage of the
more hevily timbered parts of
Alaska, due to the more liberal
spirit that has been manifested
in the interpretation of the reg
ulations and the knowledge that
the national forest system has
become a fixed policy of the
government. Tilt total receipts
of Hie Tongnss and Chuga.. h
national forests for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1013,
were 952,100.55, as compared
with 853,218. il in the prev
ious year. The totai allotment
•'or the management of these
national forests for the fiscal
year 1013 was $30,715.70.
The number of areas survey
ed and platted for occupancy
permits during the year was
120. The number of permits
granted during the year for
whaling stations, canneries
salleries, cold storage plants
mild cure stations, stores,
dwelling houses, power sites,
flumes, etc., was 208; the num
her of such permits now in
force is 332.
The total number of timber
sales made during the year was
207. The total amount of
scaled and cut in the Ton
gas- and Cliugach national for
ests during the fiscal year was
33,531,800 board feet as com
pared with 11.017.110 board
feet the previous year.
Thirty-live per cent of the
receipts of the national for
ests of Alaska is returned to
the territory for the maintain
ance of roads, trails and schools
10 per cent of this amount
must be spent on roads and
trails withfti the national for
ests. The 10 percent fund for
the liscal year of 1013 was
spent in the construction of a
plank road 2,500 feet long ai
Craig, Alaska, and in building
5,000 feet of trail from tide
wafer toward Baity Bay Hot
Springs, in the Tongass For
est reserve. Approximately
$1,000 was spent during the
season of 1013 fighting the
forest fires in the region of
Tiirnagain Arm, Chugucb
National Forest.'—Cov. Strong’s
Report.

Prof. Hanson, who was sent
to the heart of Asia by the
United States government to
search for a hardy forage plant
which would stand transplant
ing to Alaska, has been success
ful in finding a potato and al
falfa which defy frost in the
1 early stages. Hr, Alfred Thump
-on, .VI. P. for the Yukon, has
asked the Dominion govern
ment lo introduce the plants in
lo the Yukon. The alfalfa is
said lo grow wild and provide
excellent feed for animals and
grows in the higher attitudes
as well as in the valleys and
| river bottoms.

Significance of Littla Thing*.
We love little things, we hate little
things, we fear little things. Our
lives aro knit up with little things
from the time we are born to the day
we die.
Big things draw us up to heaven or
crush us down to hades. Little things
live beside us on the earth, eat nud
sleep with us, laugh and grumble with
us. catch the early truln with us or
make us miss It, Irritate and appense
us—never leave us ulone for a minute.
That Is why they ure so much more
Important Uian the big things—the
things that come only once in a way.
nt long intervals, and even then are
nearly always the result of a hundred
nnd one little things combined.
To be crushed by a large misadven
ture Is natural, but to fall a victim to
a series of petty misfortunes is hu
miliating. There are many who would
prefer to break their necks once nnd
for all by falling off a mountain than
to bruise their whole bodies nnd dis
locate their tempers by the daily stum
bling over a molehill, it is the little
things that count. The satisfaction of
climbing Mount Olympus Is a poor sort
of attainment if the scores and scores
of pleasant details which wait upon
success he absent.—Atlantic.
A Vanished Ocean
In the tertiary period the geograph
ical configuration of the globe was
steadily npproncblng that of the pres
ent day. The same holds true for the
faunal aspect and the climate was
verging on the glacial period. It was
nt tills time the great equatorial ocean,
"Tethys," existed still, and there is ev
idence that East India and Africa.
Australia and Asia, north Europe and
North America were united by laud
connections. In the latter part of the
period the ottinn “Tethys" gave place
to mountainous formations, such a»
the Alps, Himalayas and Carpathians,
through the folding up of the crust of
the sen. At the same time there were
enormous outpourings of volcanic ma
terials. Snakes nnd true birds ad
vanced rapidly toward their modern
position in this period, which was
characterized also by the maximum
expansion of mammals taking the
place of the great saurians.—New Vork
Sun.
An Old Time Scotch Sunday.
The sixteenth century practice of the
elders in Scotland of going the rounds
to plcfc up offenders against Sunday
rules survived until the eighteenth cen
tury. Mr. Thomson in his “Weavers
Craft” gives details of the "bag:"
“The minister himself would make the
rounds to spy with his owu eyes the
sins of the absentees. Here one man
is found romping with his bairns, an
other detected kissing his wife, two
men were found drinking ale, and one
was found with his cont off, ns if he
were going to work, and still another
was seen eating a hearty dinner. All
were pulled up before the session of
the kirk and ‘repentences’ enforced
upon each.” And now one can under
stand the wherefore of the drawn
blind on the Sabbath which struck
James Payn as astonishing in the
Edinburgh Qf the sixties. — London
Chronicle.
A Medical View of Bathing.
Whether or not we believe that cold
baths have virtues which hot baths
can never possess, it is far better to
preach the most advanced gospel of
cleanliness than none at all. The per
son who bathes frequently is a clean
er person both physically and mentally
than he who does not. and if our de
sire Is today to bring about a higher
morale among the people at large let
us not cavil at a soap because forsooth
it may be a little too strong In alkali,
or at large quantities of water, even
though applied to the body oftener
than once a day. For let no one think
for a moment that human nature is so I
smitten with the idea to keep clean 1
that it will ever have a mnddeuing de- ;
sire to use too much soap or wafer.—
Dr. Philip Skralnka in Interstate Med
'leal Journal.

The Victoria Crosa.
England’s prized Victoria Cross is
only won under circumstances of the
deadliest peril to its owner. The cross
itself is of bronze, cnst from cannon
taken at Sebastopol inscribed with the
words, "For Valour.” it is the proudest 1
decoration a British subject can wear. •
Tlie Duke of Newcastle, secretary of i
state for wnr in 1854-5, is credited with
having originated the Idea of the cross
after the Alma, being anxious to Insti
tute an English order which all ranks
might win and be proud to wear, like
tlie French Legion of Honor. The
cross confers on all below commis
sioned rank an annuity of $50.
