ABOUT THAT COLLEGE AND SCHOOL OF MINES
Far be it from us to oppose any movement of merit
suggested by any town or individual, but it seems at fiist
blush that Fairbanks’ efforts to induce the legislature to
provide the money for establishing a new agricultuial
college and school of mines is a bit prematuie.
There are a number of things we need more than an
agricultural college or a college of any kind; notably
elementary schools.
In time Alaska will need, and the need will produce,
a great institution of advanced learning; but just at the
present time it could not expect to attract students from
outside, and unless it did the attendance would scaiceh
justify the effort and money required to maintain it.
A real university is said to be the ultimate puipose of,
our thriving interior neighbor, the agricultural and mines
designation being intended merely to qualify it to leceiu :
the $’>0,000 appropriation which congress allows to such!
institutions.
While Seward would be a more suitable um\eisit\
location for many substantial reasons, there would be no
disposition here to oppose the expenditure of public
money for so laudable a purpose were the time ripe for it.

RADIUM IN THE DISCARD
The doctors seem finally to have agreed that radium, j
which was loudly 1 • raided a few years ago as a certain
cure for cancer and other tumorous growths, is actually j
injurious rather than beneficial when applied as a remedi
al agent. Thus another theory goes into the discaid. j
All of which suggests the thought that an up-to-date j
doctor must be a tellectual gymnast to keep!
abreast of all the real and supposed progress of the pass
ing hour, and simultaneously sidestep in time to keep,
from under the toppling theories of yesterday.

IT CUTS THE IC E
The current number of a popular scientific journal
describes an ice-cutting machine that does the work of
sixteen men and eight horses, and. accoiding to e
descriptive matter, “seems to show almost human intelli
(rence.”
Possibly no change in the latter characteristic would
be required, but if the inventor could arrange to double
its capacity for work the machine might qualify as a sub
stitute editorial writer of a combination daily and weekly.

the purchase of this territory from Russia, will lie the pub

Stutc College i
When histories begin to be written of a country it

During his vacation a San Fran* '

village and their conversation drifted
to a discussion of the natives. A ;
young farmer came under their view!
“He’s a fine looking young fellow,”
said the lawyer.
“Y-e-e-s,” assented his friend, du- ■

“Well, anyway, he has a mighty j
good head.”
It ought to be good,” was the re
