It develop* that the local poli
ticians all mad* a wrong gues* in
the matter of the appointment of a
commissioner for Fairlmnks. Carr,
the man who has the |>osition, is
■ot very well known here, but ha*
Wen in interior Alaska and at
Nome prior to this vear.
When the people out to Valdez
got fuzzy and wired Che president
to turn Alaska over to Canada
they overworked the dogs. Alaska
malamutes may stand taking sec
ond place to Brady’s Siwash mon
grels; they may only howl at being
classed a little lower tlum the
Filippino uiggcrs, hut when you
hitch them in with Canadian
poodles they will begin to chew
the harness and bite.—Douglas
News.
Finland with a soil not nearly
so rich and with a climate not to
he compared with that of Alaska,
produces yearly 300,000 horses,
about 3,000,000 cattle, and 10,000.
000 sheep to say nothing of 200.000
head of hogs and an immense
number of chickens. Finland also
produces wheut. barley, flax, oats,
lye, hemp, buckwheat, exporting
millions of bushels of grain and
cereals. In five years Finland has
exported 20,000 horses, 00.000 cows,
133,742.210 pounds of butter, and
1,972,185 pounds of cheese. If
Finland, a country in many ways
similar to Alaska, were to ship all
her productions here each year, it
would supply each man. woman
and child in this country with 100
cattle, 350 sheep, 8 hogs, 10 horses,
5,000 pounds of butter, 400 pounds
of cheese, together with an outfit
of flour. hurley etc., to last
him five years, and yet Finland is
not one quarterns large as Alaska;
cannot compare with us as a min
eral country or compete with us in
fish or game.—Transcript.
Owing to the increased demand
lor platinum, the United States
geological survey is about to make
an examination of the platinum
resources of the United States. It
is pro|tosed to collect the heavy
sands from all placer mines in the
United States where evidences of
platinum have been observed. The
samples thus obtained will lie used
in determining the best methods of
extracting the various minerals
which have economic value.
A freighter who left Here a month
ago with eggs for Dawson wires
back that the case the driver sat on
batched before the outfit was
landed. Quite an eggs-traordinarv
•eggs-perience.—Whitehorse Star.
The P.-I. says: "This is prob
ably the last season passengers and
freight will go into Cold Hay by
steamer direct, as the Alaska Cen
tral will have trains ruuniug to
that place from Seward by next
spring."
Wouldn’t that jar you? They
will have to install an airship line
to reach Cold Hay this year.

Ex-Governor Swineford has re
tired from the newspaper field, his
plant at Ketchikan having been
purchased by Coutaut A Wyatt, of
'Juneau.
A couple of Nova Beotiam have
'discovered the “long lost and much
sought” process of hardening cop
iper. The fact would create great
excitement were it not for the
'recollections of many previous dis
coveries of this same “long lost and
'much sought” process.
The Seattle offices of the Alaska
Commercial Company are to be
moved from their present location

Yesler way.
More Wireless
Tin* war department is consider
ing a project for installing a second
system of wireless telegraphy in
Alaska. The proposed line, which
is not yet very definitely projected,
is to extend from Fort Uihhon. on
the lower Yukon, a distance of a
fittle more than ltX) miles, to a
point on the Tanana in the vicin
ity of Chena.
Orders were published several
davs ago authorizing Capt. Leon
ard I). Wildman to travel from
Nome, where he is now stationed,
to Fort (iiblton “on official busi
ness pertaining to the wireless tel
egraph work under his charge.”
General Greeley, chief signal olti
cer. savs that captain£\Vildmun
wishes to examine the conditions
in regard to the establishment of a
wireless telegraph system from
Gibbon in a southeasterly direction
to a point on the Tanana. It is
believed that there would be some
advantage in substituting wireless
for the present wire system now in
operation between the points in
question. This is a part* of the
land system which, Jit has ^been
found, is very difficult to keep up
on account of the severe ^storms in
winter.
