GOVERNMENT SURVEYS IN OUR ]
TERRITORY
Fourteen parties of the Geological
Survey, including about 5u men, are
at work surveying and studying the
mineral resource*, of Alaska. These
partly are w idely scattered over the
Territory aud are doing work of many
different classes.
One part} is engaged in exploring
N'oatak Kit er in northwestern Alaska,
north of the Arctic circle. This party
?hi<h i.s under the leadership of
tii-okjti.-t 1'. G. Smith, with C. K. Cirift
fin as topographer, will make its way
Alatua Kiver with canoes and hop
to find near the head of the river a
pass across to tne head of the NoaUi
and to descoud mat river to the Arc
tic Ocean at Kotzebue Sound. The
r?^tou which will he traversed is uu
surveyed and much of it is almost
unkuown.

in Poeatello which is forbidden any
longer to sell a pound of butter con

avoirdupois requirement of sixteen
ounces, exclusive of the wrapper, or
there will be a repetition of trouble
that already has cost that butter
company something. They aay up

short weight robbery has just begun:
and as it develops it is going to be
waged more and more effectively.
It is news like this that is hearten
ing, whether It comes from Idaho or
anywhere else. The sneak thief in
common lines of plunder is a contempt

heartily applaud the activity of Idaho's
