THE CABLE SERVICE
The statement made by the Juneau
Dispatch that the press of Alaska has
unanimously condemned the service
that it being (urn. shed by the United
States cable, and the administration of
Col. Glassfo:d, is not true. In fact, the
probability is that the Miiost of the
paper* have replied to the queries
sent out by Gen. Chamberlain to the
contrary .
The Daily Alaskan is satisfied that Col.
(J lass ford and the others connected
with the cable are doing tbeii very best
to give the Alaskan newspapers a
squire deal. The service is excellent.
It has been improving regularly as
those who have charge of the wire
have gained information and become
familiar with conditions.
There could be an inprovement in the
matter sent to Alaskan papers, probab
ly, if there eould by a meeting of Alas
kan editors to agree upon somethings
which harrass their Seattle representa
tive?but that is "shop."
The Oregonian says the republican
convention of the state of California

Tn Much to Aak.
A traveler in the highlands observed
while at a tavern in a small village a
rery beautiful collie. At his request
the owner was pointed out to him. and
Se asked the man what he would take
(or the dog.
"Ye'll be taking him to America?"
the Scot asked cautiously.
"Certainly. If you sell him to rae."
"I no coui' part wie Kob." the dog's
owner then said emphatically. "I'm
liuckle fond-like o' him." And liberal
?ffers were no inducement.
To his astonishment, the traveler
later saw the dog sold to a drover for
half what he had offered and after the
drover bad disappeared requested an
explanation. "You said that you could
not sell him." he remarked.
A twinkle came into the highlauder'*
eyes.
"No; I didna say I'd no sell him. I
said I couldna part wie him." he said.
"Rob'll be hame in two or three days
fra noo. but I couldna ask him to swim
across the ocean. Xa; that woul' be
too muckle to ask."? Harper's Weekly.
That Carry a Vote.
The parish church of Chertsey pos
sesses a curious anomaly. It has sev
eral pews iu its gallery which are
bought and sold by auction, just like a
table or a chair, and these pews give
their owuers for the time being a legal
right to vote at parliamentary elections
In the division. Moreover, th* owners
of the pews have to pay the poor rate
of ?2 a year into the bargain, a privi
lege they are not so eager to use as the
former one. Many years ago the church
wardens of Chertsey were y,t their wits'
end ia order to raise mouey for the res
toration and repair of the sacred edi
fice. and they could tind no solution to
the question until some parishioners
auggested that they should sell the gal
lery pews to the highest bidder. They
accepted the idea and obtained a spe
cial act of parliament allowing them to
do this and also giving the privilege of
a parliamentary vote.? London Spect?

Brilliaut Future for Country
at Our Back Door
Dr. L. S. Keller, who has returned
from a two months' visit to White
horse, Atllo, Conrad and Caribou, is
greatly impressed with the brightness
of the outlook of the countrv at S*a?
way's back door. He says cue of the
greatest mineral producing countries
in the world is beinj: developed in
northern British Columbia acd south
ern Yukon territory.
4tThe great placer fields of the Atlin
district/* said Dr. Keller, "will yield
more sold this year than they have
produced for many years. There are
not so many individual miners at work,
but the hydraulic companies are doing
splendidly. The output of a few of
them will be very large. Atlin will
get better each year for years and
years.
"Then the development of the Windy
Arm country and the prospecting that
has been done from Bennett on the
south to the Engineer mining property
on the north have disclosed that there
is a great quartz belt lying in that
country that will soon be adding its mil
lions to the of the world's riches.
"The work that has been done on the
Whitehorse copper properties this year
has removed the last doubt from the
minds of the most skeotical as to the
richness of that section.
"I never saw a country with a
brighter future assured than that just
across on the Canadian side of the
mountains that divide the coast country
from the Yukon watershed."
