Inventor of Envelopes
It is somewhat curious that such a
simple contrivance as the envelope
should be a comparatively modern in
vention.
As a matter of fact it is just a hun
dred years since a paper manufacturer
of Brighton named Brewes invented
envelopes for letters in their present
form. Even then it was some con
siderable time before their use became
at all general, not, in fact, until some
where about the year 1850.
Before this date(as many who are liv
ing now will remember) a letter, writ
ten only on one side, was folded in two
then in three, sealed with a wafer or
sealing wax, and addressed on one of
the blank sides.—Ex.

A Kill Now Pending
Secretary (iarlield in opposing ('ale's

of the country, with special provisions
for Alaska, rat her than permit a bill!

Alany Prospectors Coming
The influx of miners and prospectors
to the Alaskan country lias already
begun, and the indications are that
upwards of 20,(XH) men will go to the
northern gold camps this season. As
is customary in early spring, there are
reports of a number of important
strikes in various sections of the in
terior, particularly along the Stewart,

Off For Arctic in Rowboat
New York—His "healthy body and
cheerful mind" ye the principal
equipment to be i»d by Vithjamur
StelTansson, who is u^mfttrt in April in
a rowboat for the Aytic Circle to
learn the ways of Eskimo tribes no
white man has visited.
Money will not be required, but he
will carry a few files, needles, and
butcher knives as gifts in return for
the hospitality which Ik* expects to
receive. One ritie, a few fish hooks
and nets and a suit of fur clothing will
be the sinews of the expedition. Mr.
StelTansson was formerly an instructor
at Harvard University, and his com
ing expedition is under the auspices of
the American Museum of Natural
History. The young explorer is of
Iceland birth and speaks the Eskimo
language fluently. He will live on the
country and what he can trap. He
will start late in April from Edmon
ton, Alberta, British Columbia, and
expects to travel 1800 miles in the
rowboat.
flay Run Again
Washington—Thomas Cale, long
term delegate from Alaska, to Con
gress, may reconsider his determina
tion not to become a candidate for re
election. Disgusted with the way af
fairs are conducted by Congress, Dele
Calc stated sometime ago that he
would not accept a renomination,
later he modified this statement by
saying that he would not run on a
partisan ticket.
Now, however, Cale has decided to
place his political fortunes in the
hands of the people of Alaska, lie
says that he believes there is in the
Northland, a strong sentiment in his
behalf and that if the people believe
his presence in the national capital
will advance the interests of Alaska
he will consent to act for them another
term.
Delegate Cale talked of his inten
tions with regard to being a candidate
for reelection, and of what he hoped
to accomplish in behalf of his con
stituents. In regard to his caudidacy,
he said:
“I have received scores of letters
and telegrams asking my intentions
relative to another congressional terra.
I have only this to say; if the people
want me I am willing to serve them;
they must be the judges.”
